yeah i'm reading MY article in today's oregonian. i've been busy getting hundreds of phone calls from my friends all over the world this morning. they all tell me that i look awesome on the front page.
i even sent a copy to the boatman(in the pic)who took me on that special trip along the ganges river, because he has no internet access.

i really want to thank laura who wrote this fantastic article about me(...well i guess about shawn and yo too) and opened up the window for me to become a celebrity.
if there's anyone who is interested in seeing more photos of me, please go to

and also whoever is interested in my autograph, you can contact my manager, yo. now when you pay $10 for my autograph, you get two more autographs for free, like a buy 1 get 2 free thing, what a deal!!! you should tell all your buddies.

okay, the phone is ringing! i gotta go!!! ciao.

love you all!
