Bret Michaels Says He’s ‘Lucky To Be Alive’

‘I said [to the doctors] in these exact words: ‘Am I dying?’ ‘ Poison frontman tells People magazine. By James Montgomery Bret Michaels Photo: Jason LaVeris/ FilmMagic One day after he was released from the intensive care unit of a Phoenix hospital following a massive brain hemorrhage, Bret Michaels told People magazine that he feels “lucky to be alive.” In the new issue of the magazine — which hits newsstands Friday — Michaels recalls the harrowing moments after he was first rushed to the emergency room on April 22, following a series of “excruciating headaches,” which doctors would later discover were actually due to a subarachnoid hemorrhage. “I said [to the doctors] in these exact words: ‘Am I dying?’ ” Michaels told the magazine. ” ‘If I’m dying, I want to see my kids. But if I have a chance, I don’t want them to see me in this condition.’ ” Doctors were able to stabilize Michaels, but he remained in the ICU for 10 days. During that time, he underwent a battery of tests to determine the cause of his hemorrhage, which occurred at the base of his brain stem, as fans filled Facebook and Twitter with messages of support , and his friends — like “Celebrity Apprentice” co-stars Sharon Osbourne and Bill Goldberg — issued statements hoping for a full recovery. His condition slowly improved, and earlier this week, the Poison frontman was able to speak without slurring his words . His team of doctors at Phoenix’s Barrow Neurological Institute praised Michaels’ strength and spirit, saying his “sheer will to live and fully recover is undeniable.” According to People, Michaels is currently undergoing physical therapy at an undisclosed rehabilitation facility and is expected to make a full recovery.

New on DVD: The Art of Zen and Hacking Your Rivals into Stew Meat

Famously, the samurai film is Japan’s western, Akira Kurosawa is its John Ford, and the legendary figure of Miyamoto Musashi is… Jesse James? There might not be an equivalent; Musashi was a 17th-century vagabond warrior with a distinctive double-blade sword style and a philosophy to go with it. His manifesto, The Book of Five Rings , is still in print and commonly used by businessmen busy strategizing about how to annihilate the competition, while fiction about Musashi proliferates like dandelions, making him a national icon. We don’t have Western heroes like that, but Japan savors its own — particularly onscreen.

Summer camp for grownups

Copious amounts of sand and surf is a traditional prescription for recharging depleted emotional batteries, but we’ve found nothing better for relighting that creative spark than sinking your hands into a fresh, exciting project. “That’s all fine and dandy,” you mutter with stress-tinged annoyance, “but I don’t exactly have time to indulge in arts and crafts.” Except … with a summer session, you do! Even if you’re not the artsy, craftsy type, never fear—we’ve got ideas that will pique the creative interests of just about any battle-hardened worker bee. John C. Campbell Folk School The leader in immersive arts and crafts education, this traditional rural center in North Carolina has been teaching arts such as book-making and weaving since 1925. Penland School of Crafts Another North Carolina gem with courses ranging from bedwork to woodworking. Vermont Woodworking School Wait, did someone mention woodworking? This school can handle your aspirations, whether you’re a beginner or an experienced woodworker. Zingerman’s Bakehouse If you’ve always had a hankering to bake bread (or pastries, if your tastes run a little sweeter), try a two- to four-day workshop in front of the ovens in nice, cool Michigan. Pilchuck Glass School From stained glass to sculpture in Washington state. Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts Looking for something more central? This contemporary arts and crafts center is located in Tennessee. Haystack Mountain If dodging the summer heat is on your agenda, try this center tucked away up north in Maine.

Janice Dickinson Flexes Her Ass of the Day

Janice Dickinson is flexing her ass for the paparazzi and nothing says a horrible looking ass like a bitch who clenches the shit like she’s trying to fight off anal sex rapists in prison. There’s something that happens when a bitch clenches her ass like she’s holding in her shit that makes her ass look like it belongs on a dude but I guess in Janice Dickinson’s case that doesn’t matter because at her low level of sex appeal, there’s nothing she can really do to make her look better or worse, she’s like a gay dude with HIV who now doesn’t have to worry about catching HIV, in an “Anything Goes” kind of thing….but at least she’s not fat.

DNA rescues man after 30 Years in Ohio prison

30 years of patience and hope got this man through 30 years of wrongful imprisonment. It took two years to get the DNA test performed. Two years is a ridiculously long time to wait for a court approved DNA test – especially when a person's freedom is at stake. Lets use some stimulus money and set up a clearinghouse to expedite DNA testing for anyone imprisoned by any U.S. court that might benefit from the results. It is 2010, the technology is now common procedure, and another day in prison is another day too long for someone wrongly convicted. www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/ap/top/all/6990987.html added by: ploomis
