Happy Father's Day!

Me and My Dad, Bill Shinafelt

Today is the day that we honor our Fathers, "yes" it's Father's Day people! I have a request of all of you, if your Dad is still living please let him know you love him today. Whether it be a phone call, card, Facebook post on his wall or some sort of gift.

A Father's love should be unconditional and I was lucky enough to have a Dad whose was.

My Father is deceased and I miss him all of the time. He passed away February 23, 2009. The cause of his death was lung cancer. His doctors gave him six months to live, he then decided to quit smoking his beloved pipe. He lived for three years and died two days after his 76th Birthday.

In honor of my Father I would like to take this moment to draw attention to two things. 

First smoking is directly related to cancer, if you think it isn't you are wrong. When my Dad went into a hospice and died two days later after his three year long battle he was next to a gentleman who had also been given six months to live, but did not quit smoking. Guess what? Unlike my Dad who gave it up and survived three years after his diagnosis, the other man passed within that given time frame.

In short, smoking blows, literally if you smoke please stop. 

Second cancer is the number one cause of death in the world and trust me, it's not a pretty one. Please let's never forget that, for more information about cancer and to donate towards fighting it please click on the link to The American Cancer Society below.

Happy Father's Day, Dad!

Margaret, Bloody Margaret Cho

Mrgaret Cho With Artist Vincent Castiglia: My Blood Is Cooler Than Your Blood...
Margaret Cho got a painting made out of her own blood ... which I happen to think is awesome looking!
NYC artist Vincent Castiglia made a name for himself by painting with blood, so back in April she commissioned him to take 72 milliliters of her bodily fluid for a portrait.

Cho wanted Castiglia to use her menstrual blood ... but he put a plug in that idea because her production level was shall we say on the low side of the spectrum. 

The painting took six months to complete. A piece of bloody art normally cost around Twenty Thousand Dollars -- but since he and Margaret are friends, Castiglia hooked the comedian up with a discount that is just between them and their accountants. 


Love it!!! Hey Vincent my blood is ready when you are!
