He says you’ve abused the gifts that he’s given you, and now you’re going to have to pay the price. Quote 2: Had those before? Yeah. They’re Pop Rocks; they crackle in your mouth. Eat some… thirsty?… What’s wrong? Something you might have heard about mixing Pop Rocks and Soda? Quote 3: Don’t do this to me again. Not again. I hate you. I hate you! The fear is feeding him. Don’t be afraid of what’s happening. Believe it’s going to pass. Believe it. Just wait. Don’t be afraid. The air is coming. Believe. We don’t have to be afraid. It’s about to pass. Here it comes. Don’t be afraid. Quote 4: I checked into the murders. And I checked into the twenty year old boy who killed his parents, and his four brothers and sisters. And when he was at trial, he testified that he heard voices in the house. He heard voices in the house and the voices told him to do it! Now, I was in the house and I heard the voices, too! And I also felt their presence in the house! I’m telling you, there was a presence in that house! Quote 5: Past few months people have been coming up to me and reporting that they’ve been seeing strange things. And I’m not talking about the town’s speed freak. I’m talking about good, honest, church going people. Now, I’ve known these folks my entire life and they seem downright embarrassed to be bringing it up. Bringing what up? It’s hard to explain. Quote 6: Day one thousand and one. We came in close contact with a hive today. Blood tests confirm that I remain immune to both the airborne and contact strains. Canines remain immune to airborne strain only. The vaccine trials continue. I’m still unable to transfer my immunity to infected hosts. Good Luck! MTV to air DJ AM’s ‘Gone Too Far’ seriesOctober 5th, 2009, 11:25 am by Veronica Diaz
With consent and support from DJ AM’s family, MTV will be airing an eight-episode documentary series ‘Gone Too Far’ beginning Monday, Oct. 12. By MTV News Staff … DJ AM knew all too well about the daily struggle of drug addiction. The late celebrity spinner (born Adam Goldstein), who died of an accidental drug overdose in August at age 36, spent his last few months filming an MTV series called “Gone Too Far,” in which he spoke candidly about his own addiction, his 11 years of sobriety and his desire to help other young addicts overcome their demons. Each episode features AM meeting with the addicts, their friends and families to discuss their willingness to change. The show was part of AM’s long struggle to overcome substance abuse, and it follows his mission to help as many people as he could, using interviews and self-shot video from the addicts and their friends and families that expose the severity of their addiction and its devastating impact on their lives. ____________________ Photo courtesy of MTV.com Twilight Saga: New Moon trailer 3September 14th, 2009, 5:32 pm by Veronica DiazPatrick Swayze dies at 57September 14th, 2009, 5:02 pm by Veronica DiazActor Patrick Swayze, 57, succumbed to pancreatic cancer.
