BLOGGING TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED: KJ SUFFERED A HEAD INJURY LAST NITE!

3am 11/27/08: Today is Thanksgiving in America. I have a lot to be thankful for but I live in Canada and it's just another day. School's open, offices are running, the mail and the Toronto Stock Exchange etc are all open. Last nite at exactly 5.37pm, my youngest illustrious, dynamic son KJ known as Popular Culture Kid, The Kid Reporter and Akon lookalike suffered a severe head injury. Every evening at 5.30pm, the kids are let go from the community center after school program and they all walk home. What I have noticed is that my neighbor's two kids always run at high speed thru the hallway to their door at the end of the hall.

Sadly last nite, KJ decided to run with them BUT I live in front of the elevator so his stopping distance was smaller. One of the kids called him and while running at high speed, he looked back and ran into the wall. I just heard a loud bang, opened the door and KJ was crying and ran into the house. My neighbors kids were actually "laughing" at the end of the hall as their mom opened the door for them.

That is when I told them to stop running and their mom asked if KJ was OK and I went in to call him out when I noticed he was bleeding heavily with his SKULL exposed! I screamed and my neighbor rushed over and we called 911. The operator was on the phone with us thruout as we were trying to apply pressure to stop the bleeding but KJ WAS SLIPPING OUT OF CONSCIOUSNESS! My son was immediately "heated up" as his temperature went to 99.1. HE WAS DYING! If you have a WEAK stomach or feel easily offended, DO NOT CLICK HERE!

As the medics came, they revived him and bandaged his head as the white bone showing thru the gash was his skull which was later x-rayed at the hospital and was not broken. He was stabilized in the ambulance and his face was "frozen" in the hospital. A term for temporary anesthesia so that he can get the complicated stiches. My older son rushed over and videotaped the whole ordeal. I didn't know if this was the end of KJ's tender 8 years on earth.

I will NOT be available as you know but you can e-mail me or write a comment or message me on Facebook. The laptop is right next to me on the bed. He is now asleep and is heating up a little, so I gave him fever reducers. I am supposed to watch for consciousness, dizziness, nausea and more. I cannot sleep because of this. The irony....he gets to watch his Thanksgiving parade on NBC Buffalo, NY channel later this morning afterall. He was just boasting about cutting school for Thanksgiving in "his country." We celebrated Thanksgiving here October 14th.

I wanna thank the Toronto EMS paramedics, police officers and firemen with the defibrillator on their truck for reviving my son KJ. If you call me at 647-344-5390, please just leave a message. I won't be able to pick up all day or never. Thanks to everyone that has called , sent me an e-mail, messaged me on Facebook etc.

UPDATE 11/27/08 10.29amEDT: Kayode Joshua is still very weak. I went ahead and recorded the parade for him as he is slipping in and out of sleep. Fever is down and he's extremely weak. Not hungry as he is nauseated. Doctor has me monitoring that. I will be back next week Wednesday Dec 3rd 2008 but check for short link updates. For get well wishes leave a message for KJ on his blog under comments.

HIGHWAY GECKO SEEN DANCING TO 50 CENT'S MUSIC!

That sun in Florida must be way too hot! Next time I go home to Nigeria, I'm gonna videotape some lizards! Where is the music coming from? Probably in the Sheriff's car sitting on the side waiting to clock someone. Gangsta gecko is sure taking it's time on that country road. No road kill today. Of course the music is coming from someone's creative computer.

Boy, 12, Dies From Excessive Deodorant Use.

A coroner in Britain has determined that a 12-year-old boy died after using too much spray deodorant in a confined space, according to a report from abc.net.au.

Daniel Hurley collapsed in a January after spraying on Lynx deodorant in the bathroom of his Derbyshire home.

An inquest was told last week that a "volatile" agent in the deodorant upset the boy's heart rhythm.

He was hospitalized after the incident and died five days later from a cardiac arrhythmia, also known as abnormal heart rhythms, according to the report.

The boy’s father, Robert Hurley, told the inquest that Daniel was fit and healthy. He also took pride in his appearance, using hair gels and deodorants, which he often sprayed all over his clothes.

The coroner said it was combination of the deodorant and the fact that it was sprayed in a confined space that caused the adverse effect on the boy's heart.

His death followed an incident several weeks earlier when he had collapsed in the bathroom but quickly recovered, according to the report.

Boy Healthy After Doctors Remove Key From Brain!

X-ray showing the key going through the boy's eye

A 1-year-old boy from Perryville, Ky., was stabbed through the eye with a car key after he accidentally fell on it.

An X-ray showed the key went through his eyelid and penetrated his brain.

“I’ll never forget that moment,” said Staci Holderman, Nicholas’ mother. “Nothing can prepare you for something like that.”

Doctors told Nicholas’ family the key could be removed without damaging his brain, and after it was surgically removed, there was no damage to his eyesight.

“Everyone will say, ‘Which eye is it?,’” Holderman said.

SCROOGE IS ALREADY IN TOWN IN MY BIRTHPLACE: Maryland Mall Tells Salvation Army Bell Ringers to Quiet Down

Salvation Army bell ringers were silenced this season inside a Maryland mall after complaints came in from neighboring merchants that the clanging was too loud.

Valley Mall in Hagerstown told the charity to replace the clappers inside their bells with paper clips for a quieter ring.

The Salvation Army's Maj. Robert Lyle said that the three volunteers inside the mall have complied with the request. The two stationed outside the shopping center still have the louder-sounding bells, he said.

The charity's workers traditionally ring bells during the holiday season to get passersby to drop donations for the poor into their red kettles.

The complaints about the noise came from kiosk- and cart-based businesses in hallways near the bell ringers, according to Valley Mall Marketing Director Brian Kaltenbaugh.

Lyle said he can sympathize.

Salvation Army bells elsewhere around Washington County will ring at full volume, Lyle told the Hagerstown Herald-Mail.

The charity is aiming to raise about $100,000 for the needy this year in spite of the nation's economic woes, according to the Herald-Mail.

THIS SPIDER IS SPINNING A WEB IN SPACE!!! DOES IT KNOW WHERE IT IS?

Experts: Interrogation of boy, 8, 'out of bounds'

The third-grader's legs dangle at times from an overstuffed chair as he answers the questions of two female police officers. His manner and voice are casual, even helpful, but his words are shocking.

And so, legal analysts say, were the methods police used to obtain them.

By the time the boy was finished talking, say police in St. Johns, Arizona, he'd confessed to a premeditated double murder.

The 8-year-old is charged in juvenile court with killing his father, Vincent Romero, 29, along with Tim Romans, 39, a man who rented a room in Romero's home. Police have said the boy confessed to shooting the men. He has not entered a plea.

He will be allowed to leave a juvenile jail for 48 hours to spend Thanksgiving with his mother, a judge ruled Wednesday.

The furlough will start at noon November 26 and end at noon on November 28, Apache County court administrator Betty Smith told CNN.

Man walks into California bar with pet alligator on leash; cops called.

Heard the one about the guy who walked into a bar with an alligator?

At Johnny's Saloon in Orange County, California, it was no joke.

Authorities say a man walked into the bar early Saturday with a one-metre pet gator on a leash.

But by the time police and animal control officers arrived, the gator was in the man's vehicle in the parking lot. So officers followed the man to his home, where another alligator was found.

Animal control spokesman Ryan Drabek says both critters were impounded and are being held pending an investigation by the Department of Fish and Game.

Alligators are not native to California and it is illegal to keep them as pets.

Trick-or-treater, 12, shot to death, police say.

As much as we had a great Halloween night here in Canada, there was a sad story in America!
An ex-convict who said he thought he was being robbed gunned down a 12-year-old trick-or-treater, spraying nearly 30 rounds with an assault rifle from inside his home after hearing a knock on the door, police said Saturday.

Quentin Patrick, 22, is accused of killing 12-year-old T.J. Darrisaw on Friday night. T.J.'s 9-year-old brother, Ahmadre Darrisaw, and their father, Freddie Grinnell, were injured but were released after being treated at a hospital.

The family attended a Halloween celebration in downtown Sumter, 45 miles east of Columbia, then stopped at Patrick's house because the porch light was on, police said. Another sibling was with them but wasn't hurt.

Police said at least two of the boys were wearing ghoulish masks when they knocked on the door. The boys' mother and a toddler stayed in the car nearby.

Patrick emptied his AK-47, shooting at least 29 times through his front door, walls and windows after hearing the knock, Police Chief Patty Patterson said.

He told police he had been robbed and shot in the past year.
