'Dr. Turk' Is REALLY Having a Baby

Donald Fasion, of the hit TV series Scrubs, is reportedly expecting a child with his wife Cacee Cobb. Yes, Dr. Turk is really having a baby and its not Izzy nor is Carla the mother.

US Magazine reported mom-to-be Jessica Simpson officially has a pregnancy pal! Cacee Cobb, Simpson's former personal assistant and longtime best friend, is expecting her first child with husband Donald Faison, she announced on Facebook Thursday, Jan 31.

Similar to her BFF who announced her first and second pregnancies via Twitter. Cobb chose social media to break the news in a humorous way.

"Look like @donald_fasion and I are going to have a little stormtrooper of our own!" Cobb, 31 wrote in a caption accompanying an adorable T-shirt depicting a baby-sized "Star Wars" stormtrooper.

Congratulations to both of them. I wonder how Zach feels about it.

Birth Mom Found Through Viral Post

Holy chicken choking catman, it's a news story with a happy ending. I haven't seen one of these since… hell, never. This actually is a cool story, I'm happy for this lady. Here's the story as it was reported by our friends at Yahoo & ABC News.

A Utah woman found her apparent birth mother three days after her Facebook appeal went viral. On Sunday, Jenessa Simmons, 21, posted a picture of herself holding her birth information.

She was born at Utah Valley Regional Medical Center in Provo on Nov. 17, 1991. Her parents were both 16. They originally named her Whitney. With that little bit of information and the hope that someone may recognize her, Simons asked her friends to share it. The did just that - more than 124,000 times.

The story caught the eye of a woman who attended high school wth who she believed were Simons' birth parents. She passed on the information to the apparent Simons' birth mother, who then sent her a message. Simmons was skeptical at first, she said, but after talking to the woman, she knew she had found the one.

She sent pictures of me as a baby that my mother had given her", Simons said. Her apparaent birth mother also provided her with information about her purported birth father, Simons wrote on Facebook.

she hopes to learn more about the woman she believes is her birth mother and possibly meet her, she said. in the meantime, she's also looking for her birth father.

As for the whirlwind of the past few days, Simons now hopes to pass on her good fortune to someone else in her situation.

"This page has gone crazy and I would love to turn it into a resource for others to help find birth parents:, she wrote.

Shame On You Cissy Houston

The one year anniversary of Whitney Houston's death is approaching, February 11, and Cissy Houston; Whitney's mother, is allowing people to parade her in front of these TV cameras too talk about Whitney.

Hey Cissy YOUR DAUGHTERS DEAD, have you forgotten! How about you step out of the spot light and allow your daughter to be remembered the way people choose to remember her. Going on TV with Oprah, being barraged with questions about your dead daughters sexuality. Any self respecting mother would be appalled by someone questioning how their deceased child lived their life. Who cares. She's gone and Cissy Houston is destroying the memory of Whitney.

If Oprah or anyone really cared, they would have spent millions of dollars when Whitney was alive to help her. Now that she is dead, like every other media outlet, they are cashing in on a celebrity death and Cissy Houston is signing the checks.

What agent or handler is allowing Cissy Houston to do these interviews? She's 79 years old. Cissy should be rebuilding her life, working on trying to go on without her daughter Whitney. Not being interviewed and mocked.

Cissy you are the Houston matriarc, act like it!

Loose Dogs vs School Kids; Law Proposal

I propose a new federal law, if a dog is loose during the time of day when school kids are walking to or from school - that dog owner should be forced to surrender their dog to a kill shelter at the owners cost.

There is no reason a dog should be loose to chase, bark, intimidate, or approach a school attending child during a school day.

I understand dogs, I have a dog and if he gets out it's solely because of my negligence. Dog owners need to be responsible for their pets. Big, small, mix breed or full breed - it does not matter. Dogs are going to be dogs. They are natural hunters and protectors. Innocent children walking to or from school should not be forced to interact with your unrestrained dog.

I feel this way, anyone attending school under the age of 18 that encounters an unrestrained dog should have the right to defend themselves using any means necessary during in-session school days. Kick it. Throw something at it. Pepper spray it. Throw rocks at it. Whatever is required. If the owner of the dog is not responsible enough to restrain the dog, they don't deserve the dog. No questions asked and the child's parent can not be held responsible for any damages done to the dog including its death.

Many of you may not agree… fine, you most likely keep your dogs restrained or within the safety of your home. For those people that don't, deserve what ever the hell happens to their animal. It may sound insensitive, but I'll go one step further - if my kid is ever bitten or chased by a loose dog, it's dead!

Be responsible dog owners, protect your animal and our children.

Here Come the Pelicans

Thursday, January 24, the New Orleans Hornets owner Tom Benson announced that he is going to change the NBA teams nickname to the Pelicans. He [Tom Benson] added, "the switch will create a bond with the city that could lead to a championship".

After the announcement the NBA still has to approve the change, but commissioner David Stern has said he wouldn't object to any name Benson chose. The league is expected to expedite the change at the start of next season.

The new color scheme for the New Orleans Pelicans is blue, gold and red, a departure from the Hornets' teal, purple, gold and white.

I like the new logo, colors and name. With the pelican being the state bird and my ancestry being from Louisiana, I'm down for it. Not everyone feels that same though and many are making fun of the new name.

The name change for New Orleans could be worst. There are some messed up names out there for some sporting franchises. Like New Britton Rock Cats, Richmond Flying Squirrels, Savannah Sand Gnats, or just a bland name like the Tampa Bay Rays.

I like the name and the change! Go Pelicans, just don't beat the Phoenix Suns - let those games be the four your loose next season.

How to Stop Mass Shootings

This video from Mr. Colion Noir makes it clear. Rather you support his view point or not, the reason I am sharing this on my blog is because he makes this point in an eloquent poignant way. There's no screaming, yelling, slamming of the other parties view point. He expresses himself and the video ends.

Imagine how much more we (USA) would accomplish if we all took the time to simply talk instead of attacking. I applaud Mr. Colion Noir educated non-hate filled message. This video has actually made me rethink a few of my stances on the gun debate.

This is all you will ever see me post about the gun debate. Not that I don't have an opinion, I just desire to use my blog AfterTheLevels to entertain you, make you laugh, give you a few seconds out of your day to escape the reality that plagues our minds every day.

I won't take credit for discovering this video, it was discussed & featured on my friends radio show BigO & Dukes. If you like FatGuyRadioShow, you'll love Big O & Dukes.

I just wish this video wasn't filled with all his ads. It would pick up more traction if it wasn't laced with so much self promotion. But I understand what he's trying to do. 

Atari Files for Bankruptcy

Your childhood is dead, sort of, but only in you're over 35. Atari U.S. - the maker of such classic, first gen games as Pong and Asteroids has filed for bankruptcy. But this might be more of a mid-life crisis than a death warrant for the firm, which was founded in 1972. In fact, Atari U.S. hopes its bankruptcy is simply a way for the brand to sever ties with its financially troubled French parent company. In a statement, Atari U.S. says it hopes to "secure independent capital for future growth" in digital and mobile games, which means that we might not have seen the end of the Centipede just yet.

An Emotional Steve Harvey

I've gone on record as Family Feud being in my top 10 shows. One of the reasons I enjoy this show is because of Steve Harvey.

I've followed Steve Harvey from his sitcom "The Steve Harvey Show" to "The Kings of Comedy" to numerous movie and TV roles. I am a fan of his radio show also.

Steve Harvey has this amazing talent, but one thing that makes him greater than many others… Steve actually worked his ass off for what he has. He was not handed anything, he never stepped on anyone to become who he is. Yes Steve has had his ups and downs. No one can say that he has not earned his celebrity.

I came across this clip of Steve Harvey on GodTube and not many things get me to tear up on the internet, except this clip. I don't see anything "scritped" about this moment. Some call it an Oprah moment, so be it. However, this clip really proves that Steve Harvey fought his way to where he is now and he has a debt of gratitude to two special people! Enjoy this and let it encourage you.

Dan Majerle Out as Phoenix Suns Asst. Coach

Just reported, the Phoenix Suns assistant coach Dan Majerle out!

There was much speculation that after the Phoenix Suns fired head coach Alvin Gentry and hired Lindsey Hunter over Dan Majerle that Dan was not very happy about the oversight. After having such a deep rooted connection with the Phoenix Suns many fans thought Majerle as a clear cut choice as the new head coach. Well that was not in fact the view of the Phoenix Suns front office.

Now Dan Majerle has left the Suns. As details continue to surface I am unsure if this was a mutual decision or solely decided upon by Majerle. However the dust settles, the Phoenix Suns season is in disrepair and its most unfortunate for the fans.

As I mentioned on my appearance on FullCourtPressRadio, a local sports talk show, we really need to look into the operations of the front office of the Phoenix Suns that include Lon Babby and Lance Blanks. There in lies the problems of this NBA franchise.

Sad to see Dan Majerle go! Thunder Dan will forever be a Sun in my playbook!

Phoenix Suns Fire Alvin Gentry

The Phoenix Suns parted ways with Alvin Gentry Friday, January 18, after the teams 13-28 start. It's going down as the worst start to the season for the Phoenix Suns in 26 years.

I don't believe it all rest on Alvin Gentry though. The NBA needs to take a deep look into the general manager for the Phoenix Suns, Lance Blanks & Lon Babby. That's where the problem lies. These guys built Alvin an unwinable team. Grant it that we lost the biggest asset to the team in Steve Nash, but look what he's doing now.

I liked Alvin Gentry, but I've gone on record to say that he needed to get in the asses of those players a little more. His emotion never matched the emotion of other NBA coaches. In the long run, I'm sure Alvin is happy to be away from this team - they don't want it anyway. And thats coming from a homer.

It's a sad day in Phoenix today folks, sad day!

Kevin Durant Gone Get a Whoopin

A couple of weeks back Kevin Durant of the Oklahoma City Thunder earned his first ejection out of a game. On his way off the court, Kevin had some choice words for NBA ref Dan Crawford. Those words didn't sit so well with Kevin's dear grandmother.

Kevin Durant shared a text message he received from his grandmother on his Instragram page: "Thunder struck again and the Sun(s) went down (great W) Love u g mom. Kev kev stop cussing so much they be showing u when u do"

You've got to give it up for gram-grams text skills. She knows the key strokes. It's very prevalent that Kevin Durant loves him mother and grandmother, that's one of the things I like about him. I like how he honors his mother at the end of every win with a hug. That sets him apart from so many other over inflated ego'd NBA players. But he's gone get snapped up if he keep dropping those f' bombs on camera.

The passion of the game is evident, but grandma's passion out shines all others.

Sexy People Should Be Sexy Everywhere

Seems like the think to do nowadays is put up a petition on the WhiteHouse website for things people want the government to back. I'm considering petitioning the WhiteHouse to pass legislation that sexy looking people should be allowed to be sexy anywhere and everywhere.

Here's the details. If you take good care of yourself, workout regularly, not 10lbs overweight; the law against indecent exposure should not apply. Every social media site, every website that bans nudity should be forced to allow only sexy people to flaunt what they have.

This will serve two purposes. One, excite other sexy people to follow suit. Two, excite fat people like me to become a sexy person. It's a win win!

Who doesn't like looking at a good looking girl or guy? Find me that person, obviously they are looking at the wrong people.

As a country that constitutionally supports freedom of expression, we are denying sexy people their constitutional right to express their sexyness. Other than the overly religious zellets and a few nuns, who would vote against this. I think I'm on to something.

In other countries they are not as fearful of the human body. Furthermore the ugly ones know to stay covered up because they will embarrass the sexy people. Those countries are doing it right.

My 2013 campaign, restore the constitutional rights of sexy people. It's just the right thing to do.

Is That a Train In My Living room?

Picture this… It's a beautiful snowy Tuesday morning. You're waking up in your upscale home in an upscale Sweden neighborhood. You brush your teeth, kiss the wife to wake her up. Then you head downstairs to discover a passenger train in your living room. You say to yourself, "that's not something you see everyday".

A cleaning lady allegedly stole a Swedish train and drove it off the end of the tracks and smashed into a house outside Stockholm, Sweden on Tuesday.

It was not clear how the woman, age 20, gained access to the train key needed to start the train. She was taken to the hospital with serious injuries, no one else was on the train at the time nor was anyone hurt in the house it crashed into.

Sweden; where your cleaning ladies drive high speed passenger trains into your living rooms!

Pawn the Mountain

News flash, America has finally and officially reached the point of no return. We're now pawning national parks to pay our debt. What can possibly go wrong!

On the White House website there is a petition to pawn Mount Rushmore in South Dakota to the Federal Reserve then buy it back when our nations financials are better. 

This is what happens when ghetto ass people have access to the internet. 

What two tooth slack jawed reject came up with this idea? And who taught them how to type up a petition? The last I checked you can't really pawn a mountain! Let's call those Pawn Stars fellas and see how much they can talk the government down on the value of Mount Rushmore. 

I can hear them now, "It's a great mountain, but not that great. Not many national monument collectors out there these days. I'll give you 60 grand for it. I've got a business to run too". Or maybe we put the mountain in a storage locker, stop paying the storage fee then see how much Barry Weiss will bid for it. 

Don't pawn Mount Rushmore. (Never thought I'd have to say that.) Someone in the Washington needs to delete that damn petition off the site, what if the Chinese see it. This is how freedom of speech works against us. 

I'm going to put up a petition that requires every red blooded American to read AfterTheLevels blog once a day and spend at least $1 on each of my blog sponsors. If #PawntheMountain petition can make it up there, why not mine?

Your Flu Riddled Work Ethic

Hey listen, we all know what type of economic climate we live in. We get it. Everyone is fighting to go above and beyond to be the hero to the powers that be. But no one is impressed by you going to work sick!

Now is not the time for your flu riddled work ethic!

The CDC (Center for Disease Control) has released reports that we are experiencing the worst flu season in the last decade. The report also noted that the immunization shots that were administered this season only has a 62% effectivness. Furthermore, you can possibly be contagious a day before you experience any flu like symptoms and a day after you feel the systems have subsided.

So lots of people are getting sick. If you are sick, stay your nasty ass at home! No one is going to be impressed by you hacking and being a trooper by going to work. If anything, people are going to hate you more.

When you go to work sick, you're not being a hero you're being selfish! You are telling everyone in your workspace, that's most likely poorly ventilated, that their health is not as important as you impressing someone that will never care. Do what you do on the weekends when you realize your life is empty, work from home. Telecommute in. Don't risk the health of others just because you want to impress the boss. Trust me, they'll be many other times you can suck the crack of the gnat in charge. Only people that suck ass and are inept, go to work sick!

#CUTTINGFORBIEBER

Female fans of superstar Justin Bieber are reportedly cutting themselves in hopes that Justin will stop smoking weed. Amongst allegations that Justin was photographed smoking weed with an unknown person.

WHAT??? Justin Bieber enjoying himself some weed, allegedly, these girls are obviously on meth to start cutting, harming, and bleeding! Listen, mini-yentas. Your cuts are not going to stop Justin from smoking weed, allegedly. Stop making it all about yourself. It's sickening and a bit nauseating at this point.

He's a grown ass adult and can do what he wants to do. Those tinny-boppers that scream and pass out at the sight of Justin go ask your older teenage brother or sister how many rap singers they listen to religiously smoke pot. And its been confirmed that they do.

Get over yourselves. It's Justin Bieber, he can do what he wants to do. You buy his records because of his talent and entrainment skills. You don't buy his records because you want him to be this picture perfect idol you've all painted him out to be. Just keeping it real. Keep cutting yourself, but don't do it for Justin do it because deep down inside you're struggling with the fact that your uncle shoved you in a closet and touched your tickle button.

Coolest Kid Ever

I came across this video on another blog, it tickled me so much I had to repost it. It's a year old but I defy you to not smile while watching this. Not sure if its staged or not, there seems to be some reality to it. 

This is one cool kid! Just watch the music start to take over his body. 

Mavericks owner Cuban fined $50K

Mark Cuban, the bloviated owner of the Dallas Mavericks gets hit with a $50,000 fine from the NBA for voicing his opinion on the NBA officiating via his twitter.

Say what you will about Cubin but I like this dude! I'm a Phoenix Suns fan to the heart, but I could only wish we had an outspoken person like this in the Suns camp.

I can image that the minute he opens his mouth about something, someone in his office just grabs the check book and starts writing. He's a billionaire, fifty grand is a drop in the bucket for Cuban. If I had his wallet, I'd say what I wanted to say too. Why not, he's completely right about everything he said about the NBA officiating. It's a broken system the needs to be fixed. The NBA's officiating is to certain teams as the GOP is to certain middle classmen. It favors one side at times.

Keep speaking up Cuban, I'm behind you!

Steve Albert - Commentator or Clobpoll?

If you're a Steve Albert fan, this post may rub you the wrong way. I am not, nor will I ever be a Steve Albert fan.

In July 2012 the Phoenix Suns annouced Steve Albert as the next play-by-play announcer. Steve Albert has a Bachelor of Science degree in telecommunications from Kent State and began announcing games for the World Hockey Association. For the past 13 years before joining the Suns he was the announcer for the New Jersey Nets. Spent five years with the Golden State Warriors and one season with the New Orleans Hornets.

One thing Steve Albert is NOT… a Phoenix Suns fan! He can't fake it. During his so called play-by-play Steve's announcing style favors every opponent of the Suns. Don't let there be a big team like LA or Miami playing against the Suns, then he's calling the games with his pants off.

I'm a Phoenix Suns homer, I was born and raised in Phoenix. I've always known the Phoenix Suns, I attended by first game at the age of 3 with my father in the Veterans Memorial Coliseum. So my Suns can do no wrong in my book. Winning or loosing. I'm a diehard Phoenix Suns fan.

Steve Albert during a game will spotlight and recap highlights of the opposing team. He's often heard continuously quoting the statistics and strong points of the other team. He was hired as the announcer for the Phoenix Suns not the opposing team. Phoenix Suns fans don't want to hear our supposedly annoucer spotlighting the other team. Rather the Suns are playing at their best or not.

Being Human Season 3 Coming Jan 14

Fraternities, Still In Existence?

Back when I was in school going to college included becoming part of a select group of people in what is known as a fraternity. These days when you ask a college bound person or a current college student, fraternities are thought of as sex crazed groups of people.

What has happened to the power of a frat?

Fraternities existed to bring together like minded college students and to build a since of family when a student is away from his/her family. They instilled life lessons that a textbook couldn't provide. When you hit struggles in school you went to your fraternity brothers or sisters and when you graduated school its your fraternity symbol that gave you that extra umph you need in starting your career. Fraternities at one time were highly regarded in the business world.

Now it seems that fraternities are made up of closeted homosexuals, STD riddled girls and video cameras. The Internet, where I feed my family, is clothed in the latest fraternity sexually explicit video. I won't deny nor confirm if I've watched said videos, but you know what day it is.

Fraternities can't be this lackluster. They still have to posses some kind of weight and credence. Maybe since I've been out of college things have changed or I'm just not connected. Ether way, it's a thought I had.

Taco Bell Speedo

The week before Christmas, 15 year old Ryan Klarner posted on Taco Bell's Facebook page, introducing himself with a rundown of his swimming and diving achievements before making an offbeat request.

portrayal

"Is there any way you guys could make me a customized Speedo that says think outside the buns on the back of it? If you did, that would mean the world to me"

The Illinois teen claims he first came up with the idea a couple of years ago and decided last month to go ahead and ask, even through he never had asked a company on Facebook for anything before.

So last Wednesday, the social media team at Taco Bell wrote back. "What size do you wear? And what's your address?"

Klarner is now set to receive two pairs of speedos, one with the old Taco Bell slogan "Think Outside the Buns" and the latest slogan "Live Mas".

Who would have ever thought? I applaud Taco Bell for branding some 15 year olds ass. If he keeps eating Taco Bell he won't be swimming very fast, but can you knock the kid for his ingenuity? Brava.

Flowrider Surfing Wipeout

This dude is at a water park. On a machine powered surfing ride. Well… I'll let you watch what happens.

Ok, stop laughing. Coby took it hard! Not only did this dude have such a "gnarly" wipeout, he knock his ass unconscious. Dude put himself to sleep. Zzzzzz! That's how you wipeout. The off camera douche that said he wanted to see him wipeout hard, I wonder how he feels now as he dives in to save his friend from drowing. Also the ride worker, aka the black dude, does nothing.

Unsafe, yet funny. I've seen larger surf rides in eastern Arizona and that the desert. Thank goodness the helmet worked… or did it? Replay it if you'd like, its okay.

World's Shortest Escalator?

A thing of beauty and magnificence, or a very silly addition to a Japanese department store?

And enthusiastic YouTube user traveled to Kawasaki, Japan, to take a very short but apparently exhilarating ride on the moving staircase in the basement of More's department store, which is located across the street from the JR Kawasaki train station, according to the video's description.

"I rode the escalator seven times," the barrator said, "and it was a glorious eperience."

As Wired notes, the five step escalator measures just 834 mm -- a mere leap to anyone with a healthy pair of legs -- making it what just might be the worlds shortest escalator.

The video has already been viewed more than 600,000 times since it was uploaded to YouTube Wednesday.

Big Shake Commercial

There are not many things on the internet that cause me to unhinge my jaw laughing, but this Haitian advertisement for Big Shake milk was over the top funny I had to post. Some suggest maybe it should be called "Big Snake". (may not be suitable for all ages)

You'll either laugh or scratch your head… maybe both. Hell, you might blush.
