Have You Seen This Man? :: April 2008

Keith McKennedy :: April 2005

Keith McKennedy (left)... last seen December 2007 - do you know this man?

If you see this man on the street make sure you go up to him and give him money! You too can make a difference in one man's life by giving away lots of your hard (or not so hard) earned money! He doesn't care for coins but will gladly accept anything but pennies. He really prefers cash. Go ahead, change a life today!

Okay, so he is not missing at all but I (I mean he) could sure use some money!

Or if you prefer...
give some money to me

Footnote: (for Keith only - this means that YOU should not read any further!) -- Keith don't forget - I want 50% of all profits! I accept cash only! and I expect you to drive to my house to deliver it personally!
Donations submitted using the button above will not go to Keith at all. I will keep the money. Just remember, it's the thought that counts! Right Keith?

Update: April 10
I received an email tip yesterday...Keith might possibly be in Kansas! This is the text of that transmission:
Keith McKennedy 2005

"I realize the search has been long and hard, and I know the family, has , not slept, many a night, wondering, where is keith. So, after a long time deciding, if this is the right time, I've decided, "YES" I said, Yes. So, here it is, I'm in ..m..kj'klm.kj'n lk hold on it's breaking up, I'm in ...24ttgsvp ieu,,,,wsi...wait...awai twat....m.hold on, dagnabbit,.nklduio ,,, KANSAS. Please send fake money,,, to mic. So, now you all know, good luck with everything......Peace out!"

This email came from someone named Damon but I think that it might be a plea from Keith himself! The only thing that throws off this theory is that Keith did not typically use the phrase "peace out!". We are pursuing this lead now but in the meantime, don't forget to send money to Mic and thanks for to all who have donated thus far! Without your support our mission to find Keith would be futile.

Tirra "Bones" McKennedy RIP

Tirra "Bones" McKennedy : 1994 - 2008: RIP

After 14 years of being the worlds greatest lapcat, Tirra "Bones" McKennedy passed away March 13 in his West Bolton home.

"He was very comfortable when he went; lying in the living room with his family by his side. He took one final gasp for breath and his body just shut down, it was a peaceful death. Tirra will be missed more than anyone could know!", explained Mic.

"Tirra has seen it all. He was there when Barb and I began dating. He moved to Vermont with us. He watched as we learned how to raise two kids. He was a wonderful family member and friend. Until the next time T-Bones! Say Hello to Misty for us!" - Mic, Barb, Ari & Kai

Things I Saw :: January 2008

The plan is to post one image per day. Each month will have it's own photo gallery complete with one photograph for each day of the month.

I just had a thought...what if you were (or are) thinking, "Who gives a %#!k! what this guy saw?" My answer is this...I do, obviously I care.

Tirra... I see him.. I hear him... but he's dead??

February 16, 2008 :: 5:25am

Enjoying Thom Yorke's "The Eraser"... currently - the freaky song called Skip Divided. The man can make music! Jetstream is another, check out these lyrics...

This is a ghost coach
That we are riding
Damp decay and splintering
Between the whipcrack and the moonbeams
I can hear some people laughing

We need a rubber man
We need a stretchy man
I'm not sure i am welcome

You are a fool
And this is over
Over the cliffs of dover

In my humble opinion...the man can really entertain, his words (and music of coarse), really create imagery!

December 29, 2007

I have been listening to a mere two albums for about two weeks now. There have been a couple of sporadic times when I put my iPod on shuffle but for a few solid weeks I have been listening to Radiohead's In Rainbows (I am listening to Radiohead's Kid A as I write this) and, this one might be a bit strange for me, Emily Haines & The Soft Skeleton Knives Don't Have Your Back.

I really enjoy Metric (Emily Haines is the front-person) but this is not my typical taste in music but you could say I am addicted. It's the type of album that you need to listen to a few times (and if you are male you should ignore your macho-ness), but when it gets you, it really gets you! And of coarse Radiohead amaze me every time they release anything or I see them live (which I have had the pleasure of doing four times now).
