90% sure I saw Black Thought at Whole Foods last night and 100% sure I saw Stuart from How I Met Your Mother at CVS today.

Randomly just learned that I taught the lead singer of the band Real Estate.

He was in the freshman world history class I had my second year of teaching back in 2000. I’m 47 and he’s 38. I recognized his name from a instagram post and looked him up. Hasn’t really changed besides the aging.

Re: A New Brushes with thread
This is going to sound stupid, but I never realized how close in age new teachers are to HS students. When I was in HS, a 23yo seemed so much older. But now the age difference seems negligible. Perfect example, a girl in my class had an older sister who was an interim teacher in our HS for part of a year. She was hot, and we all had crushes on her. Looking back, she was probably just 4 or 5 years older than us. Actually, their mother was an English teacher in our HS, and I'd venture more guys had a crush on the mother than the girl in my class. Cool girl, but somehow the looks passed her over.cerranoredux wrote: ↑Fri Mar 01, 2024 6:52 pmHe was in the freshman world history class I had my second year of teaching back in 2000.

Re: A New Brushes with thread
Not really a brush of mine, but this seems to be the best place for this story.
Ramón Estévez was a struggling young actor. My wife's uncle, Robert Dale Martin was a New York casting director who befriended and mentored him in his early days. Ramon thought he'd get better luck in both acting and housing if he had an Anglo name. So, as a tribute, he took my wife's uncle's name, Martin, as his stage first name. And, his stage last name from Bishop Fulton Sheen. So, there's my wife's connection to Martin Sheen.

Re: A New Brushes with thread
I only found out myself a couple years ago. There’s a video somewhere on the internet of Martin Sheen talking about Bonnie’s uncle. I met him once. He died of a heart attack in the 90s. Good guy. I’ll try to find that video. We’re in fairly close touch with his daughter.

Re: A New Brushes with thread
So, Bonnie’s cousin (daughter of Robert Dale Martin) gave us a link to this excerpt of an interview Martin Sheen had with James Lipton on Inside the Actors’ Studio. Sheen discusses the origin of his stage name.

Well, I was going to wait until whenever he passes (assuming the Swamp makes it that long) for mine because it's a very big namedrop. I mentioned this connection to Brian in person, but it's been well over a decade since then, so I would be surprised if he remembers.MaxWebster wrote: ↑Wed Mar 06, 2024 7:17 am this and Rush on the Iditarod championship track at age 7 - feels like we're amping up for a 20th (25th?)

Re: A New Brushes with thread
I know I read that about Martin Sheen at some point. I'm pretty sure I read it in the context of Charlie Sheen/Emilio Estevez being brothers and the origins of those names (or something)

Re: A New Brushes with thread
I recently found out that a nice lady who lives a couple doors down from us is apparently a real big shot writer, director, creator in the video gaming world. I don’t know squat about this stuff but she has worked for Nintendo, Electronic Arts, and a few other companies I’ve never heard of. She’s all over the internet and has a Wiki page. Who knew?

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, to me, rivals Red Dead Redemption.
I liked the Uncharted movie they made a few years ago, and am hoping Dishonored gets the same treatment.
