I miss me some Jay...









I am keeping busy... but I miss 3000 W. Alameda... (NBC) Need Be Careful... (When I'm there I pray for everyone in the building and all the guest)

George Carlin had a conversations with Jerry Seinfeld ( Jerry's breaks mysteriously failed on his Porshe this year)...hmmmm

George Carlin died... the first host of Saturday Night Live.. NBC hmmmm I wonder if the SNL Curse has joined with other ... energies... hmmmmm

We have 11 months to go until NBC kicks Jay Leno to the curb like a dog... (everyone knows that My Boo loves Cats!)

During the Hiatus... Jay Leno (My Boo)... is doing some charity for the people in the Midwest who lost their homes and things.... Please don't think that Jay does only high profile Charity his last year...















Sunday The children's choir director gave me a tiny Piano for playing piano for the kids all year... Luis Oliart got a tiny Guitar... Thanks... ( Not to toot my own horn... but I want people to know that I don't just talk and do foolishness )
Tuesday I went to my 92 year old Neighbor's senior center on Crenshaw... (The center needs a lot of things... they have exercise class in a small room with a huge table they have to pretend most of the exercises and just look at pictures because there is no room... but all I had was my camera )

Sister Gertha doesn't let anything stop her... not even exercising with only one leg... Never complained ... never said " I can't do this"... I thank the two Hispanic teachers... ( I thought that black and brown don't get along... that is what is on the news... I mean this is the hood of Crenshaw... and race never came up... when you are getting help... having a great time... no one cares about color)I have never met people who were so excited to take pictures... they enjoyed the extra attention from a younger person who took time with them ...I was over the hour long prayer for Obama...I asked this guy why are you crying? "

When I was growing up... Is knowed so many peoples who got kill-did or put in jail for looking at a white gal or talking wrong to " Uncle Charlie" I have seen lynchings.., I have seen da burning crosses.... but I luvs all God's chillin' eben whites..

now I pray to Gawd... Iza live to see a Negro President ... I seen a lot... didn't think I seed dat... hee hee Gawd is good... He brought me a mighty long way... Oh Iza pray I live ta seed dat..Wow... didn't think about that


-----------

While I was enjoying "The View"

This blond AFRO- American woman ... changed the channel to "The Price is Right"...( THE NERVE) If there is one thing I know... it's don't mess with a black woman and her Price is Right...
I witnessed my Madear beat my cousin(with the wooden stick that kept the window open... she just grabbed it right out the window)for asking " May I have a glass of water?" during the Price is Right! ( Are you crazy ... I just backed up out the way) ...

Nothing comes between old black women and Bob Barker... I guess it's the same for Drew Carey I don't have money to give ...yet... but I can give my time... and my time was priceless to Mrs. Gertha C. she introduced me to everyone.. "My Neighbor came with me"... "Meet my neighbor she came with me"... I felt like Jay must when he get all that applause! --- Later on that night... I went to Bible Study with Sister Gertha... the Church Van picked us up...Interesting .... pictures of Rodney King and his beating on the wall ,that's odd at a church ... wasn't that long ago... Can we all get along? Can we really?


Rodney's beating happened right outside the church... They don't want to forget ... they prayed for Obama also... ( I prayed for both candidates and who ever the running mates will be)I met Black people who remember everything... and I have met white people who don't remember anything... My life is very extreme... can't learn anything standing in one spot...






---------------------
Okay... Today.. Thursday... I must have been having too good of a time... yep that's it... I had a great time with the Seniors... had a great time at Gay Bingo... yep... I was way too happy...

Phone Rings...
let me recap just in case someone is reading this and needs to be cought up... GloZell's Real Life...
MoM--- Saint.. Sister... Aint... they both live together in Florida...

(about a month ago... Mom's water bill was up to 700 dollars because there was a leak... my mother gave my sister the money to go down to pay the bill but my sister went out of town and didn't pay it.. they went without running water for like 7 or 8 days...)

TODAY:

De--- Your mom is so stupid...
Glo--- Hi... I thought my week was going too well thanks for bringing me back to purgatory which I call my Florida Life...
De--- Your Mom is going to go to jail...

Glo... WHAT?... Did she try to break out Wesley Snips with her "Prayer Group"?
De--- No Stupid Our lights is off! She trying not to pay dem people... those people aren't playing...
She don't want to pay... and now she is in trouble... okay... I will call her...

De --- I need to move ( you think?) something about this house.... ( yeah I believe that)

G -- I will call mom right now...
---
G--- Mom... how are you?
Mom --- I'm... doing okay... glad to hear from my good daughter
G --- ( no pressure...) So... um... it's still day time there?

Mom --- the people came out to cut the water off today... but I talked to them and they are on now... but I have to go and meet with some group.
G -- De said that you don't want to pay them...

Mom--- Your sister didn't pay the bill went out of town... I gave her more money to pay it because I work everyday and I was going to get my treatment ( she had cancer in her upper eye lid) but she went down there and tried to put the bill in her name so there wouldn't be a bill anymore...

Well the bill was in Gody's name ( my God Mother who lived with us ) so I just paid the bills after your father died... I didn't change anything I just sent the money in... until this leak thing happened..

Gody's died in 86 and it since De tried to change the bill... they looked up everything... and now it's going to Fraudulence something or nother... cuz the bill is in the name of someone who has been dead for many years...

GloZell--- ( I got nothing to say... )

Mom --- GloZell?

G--- Yes Momma I'm here ... so they think that ... ummm... don't ghetto people put bills in their children names and stuff... I mean if the bill kept coming and you kept paying it.... I don't think that should be... like... too bad...

Mom --- Oh (sighing) I don't know.... De should have just paid the bill ...

G--- The problem is you are a sophisticated Nigra you need to learn how to be ghetto... call Dad's people Moochie n' dem and find out what to do... I know LaTonya got bills in all five of them kids... I know you don't associate with them but a rah... I bet they can tell you how to get out of this...( Laughing)

Mom ---( Laughing) GloZell you can make something funny every time.... ha ha... They do it on purpose and don't get caught... Gril you might be saying that for a joke but... you right I need to call them...

(Mom and I sing old church songs over the phone... " Jesus Can Work it out" 'One Day at a Time.'.. we are in two different states in two different keys but... no problem)

G -- Your meeting will go fine... wear the oldest church dress you got and your hat... and they have the proof that you were paying the bill until that 700 dollar bill... they had to know that that was a leak... they might take some of the money off...

Mom--- Ha I doubt that... GloZell take care of yourself... you still off eating meat...
G --- Yep... and nothing else that comes from animals... as far as food

Mom --- That's good... you always do what you say you gone do... I'm proud of you... Jay Leno is going to use you... I can feel it...

G --- (Jay Leno can't keep his own job)... Thanks for being proud...

Mom-- remember your fathers last words... "Yaw'll leave GloZell alone.".. remember... he had to take his walk after his heart surgery and I wanted you to go with De and me but you stayed on his bed to watch your show...

G ... Passions! On NBC... man I loved that show... that's right...

Ozell Green (Dad was yelling this as he was walking to the hallway)

Leave GloZell alone! you know she always love her shows... let her watch her show!... she don't bother anyone.. so don't bother her... she can stay... I'll be back... ( He was angry like... but that's how he was)

GloZell get on my bed and watch your show... Leave GloZell alone GloZell always do this and that... she got me my shoes... (yep Dad made me take his leg into the store with out him) She brings me a glass of water, and food... push my wheel chair.. and never complains... none of you all do a Da** thing for me... Yawll better leave GloZell alone!.. You know GloZell loves her TV

( wow... that's a first... Dad saying I did something right... he always called me little moron)

Mom ... Alright alright Ozell don't get yourself worked up... come on let's go... we will be back GloZell

De turned and gave me this look like you "B"...

My eyes were glued to the TV... I was glad to be by myself watching Passions with remote control...

Dad took one step out the door... and I heard ya'wll screaming Help Help... I was frozen on the hospital bed... the nurse yelled at me ... GET UP... and they got dad on the bed and put those things on Dad's chest...

I was looking but I knew that Dad was gone and they were waisting time...

G--- Interesting

Mom--- What is?

G --- umm... I think dad might be... nah... I mean Dad and I watched the Tonight Show together...nahhh ... yeah I don't know... Dad never got a chance to go to the Tonight Show when he was ... nah

Mom --- You would always wait up for him after work... Never would go to bed... I would get mad at him letting you stay up and watch that show... but I can't say nothing to your father

Mom --- You think Ozell is going to .. The... Tonight Show? Now? Girl you a mess... ha ha If your dad is haunting the Tonight Show... I feel sorry for dem people... your father was something else...

G --- No Ma that's crazy okay... Mom ... love you ... let me know how the meeting goes...
bye.

Hmmmmm

Hey, GloZell,

It's Michael - Been awhile since I posted on your blog, and I've gotta say this blog was great. When I saw your title, I was not expecting this.

Your blog was amazing! It was very touching. I especially loved the part with the crying old man. I'll pray for him as well, to live to see his dream.

Hey Michael...
Thanks... I didn't think too many people would even read this blog when there is no Tonight Show...
So that's nice that you did...

yeah... I have a new ummm don't know the word... Love for Obama... I mean he represents so much... even if he doesn't win... he is such a hero during such a time...

So many people didn't want this race to be a white black thing... but for some people it's not a Black vs. White...

I was on my side of town (which I never do cuz I am sooo above these folks on Crenshaw... well I learned my lesson...
Sister Gertha wanted to go to the Center but she didn't have a ride...

So I pushed her in her wheelchair... in the hot sun... on broken sidewalks ... gang tags... to get to the center... and was praying that she knew where we were going...

I never drive on that side of Crenshaw ... now I am walking...

It cost too much to go on "my Studio City side" when there is no Jay Leno Show...

I had no exscuse for not helping Sister Gertha...

but... they helped me...
She tried to buy me lunch with a five she had tucked in her one shoe...

I had to beg her not to over and over... she didn't want me to leave so I stayed all day... and watched what ever was on the TV...

where the guy was... I thought he was sleep till I saw him take out his hanky...

I love hanging with older people... didn't think anyone on Crenshaw could make me a better person...

well... I tend to ramble... so I will stop... but...
thanks Michael...
Thanks for praying for that guy...

I plan on walking Sister Gertha down next Tuesday ( no Jay Leno next week)...

Thanks Michael... (that's the name of the Angel over the month of July... if you are into that... )

Love the name Michael

Take Care... thanks..

GG,
We have Connor overnight so have been busy. He's going to camp here this week and our daughter and son-in-law have a funeral out of town Friday AM.
Never a dull moment in your life! You have fun EVERYWHERE and with EVERYONE. And you do good for lots of people. I think that's why it's so easy for you to talk to everyone in the line. You are brave too. Some if this is because you are YOUNG.
Things in Florida remain the same. The calls are the same. The water people SHOULD work with your Mom and come up with a plan. She should NOT have to pay a $700 water bill when there was a problem/leak. This is NOT an isolated case and they have dealt with leaks often. It is obvious she did not use $700 worth of water.
You are Sister Gertha's ANGEL. That is a wonderful thing that you are doing for her. And you ARE a wonderful daughter to!
XXXOOXOOO,
MD

Hey MD!

Thanks... you are an MD...
That's what I thought that they should compare all the bills and see that one bill jump...

Sister Gertha... she is so funny ... she use to take care of War Vets that had breakdowns... the Gov. would pay her...

So I love listen to her stories... She is never home... if someone is willing to pick her up or push her... she is gone....

When I went over and played her piano... she wants me to have it if something happens to her... chile that piano is as old as she is... and I don't have the room for myself so I don't have room for a 100 year old piano... she is so cute...

I am going to walk down there today... like to wait till her grandson is " at work"...
Sister Gertha wants to sing What a Friend we Have in Jesus over and over... I don't mind... but the Grandson who is about... hmmm... close to 50... wants Stevie Wonder...

Gertha" Don't you have your own friends... she came to visit with me! She is my friend and we singing church songs!...

So I wait becuase they go at it... it being her house and she being so independant and all...

Every day something different... I might walk down to the Starbucks on Crenshaw and take a picture of the hours... they close at nightfall... so about 8 depending on day light saving time... ha ha ha...

sometimes it's closed at 7pm... don't want to get robbed...

You seem to have a great life! Yea for MD... Connor boys run all over the place... ha ha... see you have to run after him... instant weight loss program....
Man I can't wait for Jay Leno to come back ... I do like the saving of the gas part though....

Mabe Jay can shoot out this way... ha ha ha... there is a car show on this side... nothing like Jay's cars... spinning wheels... bright colors... Boom boxes...
yeah ... maybe I will go to that this weekend...

there is this Denny's that have Muslams as security ... the black ones with the bow ties... and black people just hang on Friday and Sat. nights... I wasn't allowed to hang outside growing up...

Could be interesting... well... ejoy your family ( Lucky duck!)

Lets see... Gay Bingo... or family of my own... ...
You Win!!!!!
Take Care... Thanks... I am going to call my mother right now...
