sterlingpowers: Pablo, by Shepard Fairey. I attended Pablo’s funeral yesterday, and had the honor of visiting the Castelaz’s home, where Jeff showed us beautiful photographs, told us stories, and even took us into Pablo’s bedroom, where the art the six-year-old had collected from restaraunts and galleries and street artists hung on the walls.   The love and courage and strength that flowed through Jeff, Jo Ann and Grady (Pablo’s older brother) were wrenchingly beautiful; of the hundreds who attended - some of whom had never met the Castelazes - not one person left without wondering how they could improve their lives and contribute to the happiness of those around them. This is from Shepard’s site: Pablo Pablo is the son of our friends Jeff and Jo Ann. He died of cancer on Saturday, just a few days after his sixth birthday. As parents it is impossible for me and Amanda to imagine facing what Jeff, Jo Ann, and Pablo faced courageously. There is a moving diary of Pablo’s battle with cancer at getwellpablo.blogspot.com. Yes, we all know that cancer affects a huge number of people, but what you see at this blog is a very compelling demonstration that cancer can strike anyone, any age, and no amount of love can cure what science has no cure for yet. People like Pablo remind us why cancer research is so important. You can find out more and make a donation to the Pablove Foundation here: www.pablove.org/donate.html. We miss you Pablo. -Shepard and Amanda

Thing I Hate

The smell and taste of carbonated energy drinks. I don’t know whose impaired taste buds considered the Sweet-Tarts-and-prenatal*-vitamins flavor combination to be remotely pleasant when these horrid beverages were being tested in focus groups, but come ON. Whoever was responsible for that executive decision deserves to have his or her tongue amputated.

*Dad, I am not pregnant.  They make my hair shiny, okay?

My advice: do not encourage your foster kitten to play with your old, broken iPhone earbuds, because she will not be able to tell them apart from your new ones, which will soon look like this.
