August 2008

As The Intense Individual Party #5 approaches a few questions have started to come up…1) What is an Intense Individual? 2) What is the charity the proceeds are going to? 3) How can I donate even if I can’t make the party?

Here are the answers:

1) Intense Individuals win 8 Gold Medals in one summer, they live on the

EDGE

(Phillippe Petit – Google him), and oh yeah…sell Gazelles

(Tony Little).

2) This year the proceeds from Intense Individuals will be benefiting A Reason To Survive

. What this non-profit organization does for children is incredible….they are “dedicated to healing, inspiring and empowering children facing life challenges by providing innovative arts-based programs, education and opportunities.”

3) For those you want to contribute to the charity I have set up a non-profit paypal account. You don’t need to sign up for paypal…it’s really simple…just follow the steps. Every little bit helps! To donate Click Here!

THANK YOU!

Also, your donations are tax deductable: Tax ID # is 33-096-3135.

So get creative and think of an Intense Individual and come dressed up like them! The night will be full of lots of surprises since it’s not everyday you have Oompa Loompas, Martha Stewart, KISS, George Washington, Hulk Hogan, and Richard Simmons in one room dancing the night away!

I will leave you with some Intense Individuals…

And a couple “Big Wigs” with Marriott who have…plans.

So I think that picture explains it all.

Pets have started to control us.

At PetSmart in La Jolla they’ve lost it. They have really lost it with the puppy and cat toys. But you know, I guess they had to. We are demanding it! I mean WE AS HUMANS have lost it when it comes to pets. About 50% of dogs now wear clothes, they stay at nicer hotels than I do, they eat organic, and get their clothes dry cleaned. Anyway, that said I do love pets. (But I draw the line with snakes.) I love the dog park. Lots going on there.

Anyway, I found the following picture hilarious. I was outside PetSmart the other day and they have this place where you can watch all the dogs who are staying at the doggie hotel through glass windows. You can just sit their and gush over the canines and play the “oh my gosh can we get him” game. This took “how much is that doggie in the window” to a whole new level.

As I watched this mayhem I suddenly realized there was a HUMAN in there. So I decided to watch only him for a couple minutes and I swear to you…his expression DID NOT CHANGE for about 5 minutes straight.


Maybe he was a cat person? I don’t know but I wanted to run in there and tell him to demand the manager switch him to the fish department. That way he’s guaranteed not to be thrown “into the mix.”

On the dog theme… This is also a picture that shocked me. The way these twins cut their dog’s hair was amazing. Oh and I guess you could also call their identical outfits amazing as well. I think any twins who dress identical after age 8 are Intense Individuals. Unless it’s twin day at school. Or at the office. Although Twin Day at the office would just be awkward.

These dogs were staying at the Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs. I think they were sharing a room with their owners though. But that is just a guess.

Here’s Heidi and Aaron’s puppy. A MODEL.

And in flight:

This guy at Golden Spoon loved his puppy so much. I mean…seriously how could you have any hate for a creature who looks like this. His name was Seven. Why? It’s God’s number. But I swear I read on his nametag it read Se7en. Nervous. (btw: Glad Morgan Freeman and his voice over voice are OK after the crazy crash!) Ironically he played God in Bruce Almighty. So maybe there is some connection to this dog and Morgan.

And lastly on an Intense animal note. Here is Ernesto getting licked at the San Diego Zoo by a giraffe.

I was up in Newport Beach for Terri and Matt’s wedding this past weekend and at the hotel we were staying at some major Intensity was going on. It’s truly amazing to me how much is going on behind closed doors at hotels all across the world. Hanging out in the lobby, my friends and I had NO CLUE that THIS was going on only 200 yards away in the ballroom. Luckily, Harlan saw a sign for it as he and Courtney were leaving the hotel and called me up to inform me of the championship going on right around the corner. The Newport Beach Country Club Ballroom Dancing Championship.
So Greg, Saskia, and I went down to just take a peak…And this is what we saw.

My brother Brian made a funny short about Quintuplets that are reunited after 25 years. Very Intense. :) My friend Deirdre Wall plays the newscaster. Check it out!

Also, speaking of quintuplets here is a picture of the most famous Quintuplets of all time. The Dionne Quintuplets of Canada born in 1934.

They were the first quintuplets to have survived infancy. NOTE: The next sentence is disturbing! After they were born the government took them from their parents and
placed them in a virtual theme park called Quintland where over 6,000 people a day would come and look at them play behind a one way screen. TERRIBLE. TERRIBLE TERRIBLE.

It took their father 9 years to regain custody.
The girls wrote a book. I’m gonna Amazon it ASAP.

High Five to you!
