Tamz's Food for thought # 3

My thoughts. my blog.  My business.  Don't like it, don't read em!


1. Silence isn't always golden.  Many people are silent because they are plotting and manipulative. The squeaky wheel gets the grease and it can also save a life.  If you are keeping a secret that can endanger someone, go to the cops and/or call them out.  Yes, some people will end up on "Snapped" or "Dateline" because they have people in their lives that assume they are ok when it's clear that this person is completely unhinged.  I'm leery of cryptic people. The guilt will eventually be unbearable. Everyone deserves compassion, but some people really need help.  The LAPD is here to help.  Being a civil servant myself, I have met a lot of great cops.

2. Lemmy Kilmister is dead and it sucks.  I don't think many metalheads will ever be over it.  Many of us are not over Dimebag not being with us.  Natalie Cole was gone too soon too.  I think all of the metalheads need to catch Black Sabbath one last time.

3. Don't burn a bridge and ask me to send a boat.  I'm out of canoes and I haven't built any in awhile.  I don't have the space.  Keeping people in your life to use them creates bad karma on your end.

4. Why do people find it difficult to support their friends businesses and endeavors, but have no issues supporting and following celebrities they don't know?  I would rather help a friend pay a bill than a privileged celebrity I don't know.

For instance, Here are some friends I support ........

Retro Con 2016

Bad Culture  & BC-Mixology

Pre-retro con

Today was pretty busy for our friends tony and rose setting up for retro con.   Austin and I did what we could to help. 

See the price above? That is what a day at a con should cost!  And with a room with a ton of dealers tables.  Austin looks like he's in deep thought.

Austin created this custom bill and ted booth and his friend and CEO of retro con made custom mini-figs.  It will be presented in this case....

Here is where I will be from time to time......

Awesome cars and yeah, Austin is going to steal Tony's delorean. 

And the kitties.......

More costume props : Rose always comes up with great ideas.

And Jem toys .....

And herself the elf! Yes!!

And Tim, Tim-May!!  After 20 years! An old metal edge pen pal and fellow civil servant and pop culture junkie.  Can't wait to hang out more. 

The pre-party at Arnold's was mellow.......

We caught up with a couple of friends and sort of mapped out early morning plans.  Time for a crazy weekend!
