Way to make my day? Send me an email saying that Zachary Soza is one of your best friends and that you happened upon my site one day by Googling him... with Zachary sitting right there.
He even offered to send a picture, and of course I took him up on the offer (and asked for permission to post it).
Jealous much? Yeah, I thought so.

Side Note: The title of this post, in case you were wondering, is an homage to a holiday celebrated today by our British buddies: Guy Fawlkes Day. When I was living in England (ages 3-6), they made us learn and recite this poem about it. I thought for the longest time that they were heralding acts of treason, which was terribly confusing to the child mrtl after moving back to the states and learning about Patrick Henry.
Remember, remember the 5th of November
Gunpowder, treason and plot
I see no reason why gunpowder and treason
Should ever be forgot.
See what I mean? The poem makes it out the gunpowder and treason rock! What's up with that??
p.s. There will be no effigy burning today.
That is pretty cool. I am waiting for Henry Rollins to stumble upon my site and propose marriage...

Lemondrops and Gumdrops -- Oh what a rain that would be!! Standing outside with my mouth open wide.... Ah, ah, a-ah, a-a-ah, a-a-ah.....
How old is Zachary now?

That Is Awesome! Maybe there's hope for JS and I after all...

Um yeah, what eclectic said, how old is Mario? Do you think your blog might be a little racy for the wee lad?
For example, did he read your comments to the Google post, specifically when the crayon eater said, and I quote
"Mrtl, I'm a virgin mom to Mario"
Some days I look back and think I really need to cut back on the crayonz.

Kranki - Stranger things have happened!
eclectic - Gee, thanks for putting that song in my head this close to bed time.
I'm not sure how old he is. I'm thinking high school.
kalki - One can dream, right? Rosie, after all, did visit Susie.
yonzie - Yeah, um... what was that all about??

Torrie - Nothing received as of yet.

In celebration of this auspicious occasion an effigy of Guy Fawkes was burned upon the pyre in northern Michigan on Saturday, Brit national in attendance, under damp skies. How fitting. Wish you'd been there!

momouk - Sounds like a good time was definitely missed. Maybe there'll be some effigy burning in Alaska soon (or maybe it'll be my leftover Mexican that I overnuke in the microwave).

Zach is 14. He turned 14 onnnnnn.....October 4th I think. It was a Monday, if that helps.
Oh yeah, I am so cool. I have all the Zach information.
XD

Oh oh! New news!
Zachary might be returning to Dallas, Texas to film another show with Barney. They need a teenager to play a part, and so they asked him. He won't be Mario, though. He'll be "Soza."
That last sentence isn't confirmed. That's just what he told me.
But yeah, if this is true, I have got to see it.
