Ted Williams, the homeless man-turned-star who wowed the world with his golden pipes, reunited with his mother, Julia Williams, on Thursday after about 20 years apart. When he first approached her in a New York City hotel room, he repeated "Hi, Mommy!" He then kneeled down and embraced her as she cried in his arms. "I'm home, Mommy. I told you I was coming this year," Williams told her. "I love you," she said, looking into his eyes. "Please don't disappoint me."
.Williams was a vocal talent with a career in radio before drugs and alcohol dragged him down into a life of petty crime and living in shelters, when he said he cut Julia out of his life. Only three days ago — before he became a star on YouTube — he was panhandling along an Ohio highway, bearing a ragged cardboard sign that touted his "God-given" gift. .“I always used to pray to God, ‘Lord, let my mom live to see another year; maybe this will be the year that somebody will say, ‘Hey man, do you want a job?’” he said on TODAY on Thursday.
After his video exploded on the Web, he received dozens of job offers, including ones from Kraft and the Cleveland Cavaliers. The offer from the Cavs included a home. He also accepted an offer to record voice-overs from MSNBC for commercials that will begin airing Thursday evening.
"You always told me to pray," Williams told his mom at the reunion. "I've been praying, mommy."
Sooooo, how's your love life?
ReplyDeleteMine has been quite interesting lately.
What a busy day today. It is nice to sit down.
Wasn't that a nice reunion homeless man had with his mother?
Hi Cutie...hiya doing ??Watcha you doing ?? How is Nana , warm and cozy and in bed ???
ReplyDeleteHow is the Rock doing,I hope he stayed home from work today ???
Dad said he sent you a letter this evening, he spoke at my meeting today he is a great speaker .
I got a nice letter from dad. That guy makes me laugh.He is so funny. Always trying to make me blush . I will have to try and top him this time.
ReplyDeleteHe never mentioned that he spoke at the meeting. What did he talk about?
ReplyDeleteIt really was a nice reunion and we missed him on the show after the Leno show ,shit I was watching Craig .
ReplyDeleteHis mother looks well .
I just let Maxy in and I think he brought in a frozen RP for a snack.
ReplyDeleteHe talked about how we had to get our asses on the ball and try to get the word out about climate change .
ReplyDeleteI didn't know Dad was collecting all your floods and my disasters , he got Gil to get them for him and someone in the office made 12x24 posters of them and he had the office geek to hang them in the meeting room.
Maxy and Man would get along great they are both bad 'Brats.' Both cops attitudes with you .
ReplyDeleteSweetie ...he really said asses , that guy can cuss up a breeze and he aslso cussed in italian , one lady asked me , I just laughed.
ReplyDeleteI looked it up on the computer and saw some ghastly pictures of legs with ulcers. Her legs don't look like that because she has been taken care of and is very hygenic.
ReplyDeleteCan you get some naturopathic in cream from and possiblely put in her steriod cream jar .
ReplyDeleteMaybe you can ask her doctor to recommend it on a trial basic, but he may be like a lot of doctors .
How is your lip ???
Dad is a real rabble rouser. I guess he knows how to work a room.If your group has decided it is chiefly going to disseminate information and education about climate change then they better educate themselves and start coming up with ideas for pamphlets and posters and newsletters. And they better start distributing them to the public.They seem to be static and not motivated to do anything.
ReplyDeleteDo you think the bean bags would help a little ...I know you takes very good care of Nana and I also know you love her with all your heart.
ReplyDeleteNana will always have good hygenic because when she see the Major she will be looking/smelling good .
Something you done all your life , it's hard to quit .
My lip has healed. It looked kinda sexy all pouty and swollen. Maybe I should get Brian to hit me in the mouth once a week.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't fool Nana by changing the cream. She is too sharp. Her doctor is not taking the situation too seriously. He expected something like this in the late stages of her illness. But that does not help her. I may go in with her at her next appointment.
You know bean bags are a pretty good idea because the heat will expand the arteries and let more blood down there. Good one PIC
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly what Dad told them, he told them ideas and getting the word out is what we need , no one is going to hand us anything , we have to work for it , He told them his 2 daughters [NAN] and a few others worked hard to go to DC and no one had to put up a thin damn dime not even for their food , just spending money for their own use . So now it's time to shit or get off the pot. The next meeting have some ideas or stay home .
ReplyDeleteWow! Dad really gave them hell. Good for him. It is hard to motivate a group of people.
ReplyDeleteWhen They first came here Dad talked at the end of the meetings and he laid it on the line .
ReplyDeleteDad told them Nanook's helper put those posters and sites together and she's in Canada , now tell me please just what the hell have most of you people been doing.
You need to get people into schools to teach the kids and show them pictures, videos and let them know how serious it is. They will be the ones mainly dealing with this mess.
ReplyDeleteYou asked Brian to hit you in your mouth once a week , he will think you have lost your mind , he will get Nana and run away from home .[giggles]
ReplyDeleteDid you see my Stephanie Seymour's post , now that's sicking .
ReplyDeleteI haven't read your post PIC. I just came online at eleven o'clock.What's it about??
ReplyDeleteI am just grabbing a snack of soy cheese.I think I will put the kettlt on too. A nice hot herbal tea will relax me I love the weekends.
ReplyDeleteBrian has always thought I was weird and crazy. I think that's what he likes about me.
ReplyDeleteYou and I are own the same page, I talk to Emily this evening and told her about it and she said she know she can get some of the other principals to help.
ReplyDeleteDad told Gil to put a motion before the school board to educate the childern and the staff , it could be an extra curriculum for them , Gil told him he would , their next metting is 19th this month.
Our men know a good thing when they see/get one .
ReplyDeleteI know you had to go out today , no hurry you can see it when we log off .
Stephanie and her son , looks kind of funny to me, now they are weird.I wouldn't let my babies see me dress like that .
Oh, brilliant move PIC. That's my girl.The kids will soak up that information.
ReplyDeleteYour group needs to educate themselves first so they can correctly educate others. Then they can go out and give talks and answer questions, write booklets.Someone could put a book of photographs together and someone can put a group of instructional videos together. Hopefully some members will eventually go out and start other groups.
I put some peppermint flavor in a cup of plain tea it was good ,my babies love it , shit those little moneys like most things .
ReplyDeleteI just took a look at the article on SH. YUCK! It looks too intimate for a mother and son.
ReplyDeleteIf there is one thing that makes most people sick, it is incest.
ReplyDeleteEven if it was innocently meant, she should be careful. A seventeen year old can interpret a smooch like that as something else.
Some of the sights you posted have place where you can get free materials/magazines, but each has to order their own , I don't think that's to much to ask .
ReplyDeleteI told them that we was going to buy videos for here and each person will have to give in count of what they are doing to help the cause .
Dad also told them that 20 good people was worth 100 dead beats and he counted them and we had 156 there.
When you hit your forties you should know better.Dress with a bit more modesty or someone will mistake you for a 'putain'; (French for whore)
ReplyDeleteJeannie,
ReplyDeleteThank you for the very nice Christmas greeting .
I'm glad I stopped in on my way to bed Big G. was hell on wheels Nee forgot to tell you he told them they was going to be weeded out because there was going to be no more handouts are free rides .
Nan
Another three or four years and one of your sons will be like that.
ReplyDeleteDad mentioned that Jonny is picking up Italian. He said that kid is like a sponge.
That's what young men do , they have boners , Sis says if a girl was around Richard JR./Darrel/Chris always had bones and she had to change their sheets almost every day .
ReplyDeleteHI Nan "HAPPY NEW YEAR" and you are most welcome.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like G scared the shit out of those people..HA! Well they needed a little motivation. Just don't let him bring his gun next time.
You have such a large group, perhaps they could be divided into teams and see who comes up with the best booklet or poster or book of photos.
ReplyDeleteI think I will let their daddy handle the boys ...
ReplyDeleteJonny is speaking italian really well , everyone here can speak it but me ...I think Man speaks english/italian together .Hahaha
Man knows when Gil say stop or come here .
Maybe Man is speaking Chinese and you just haven't caught on yet.
ReplyDeleteI will give out a to do list and divided them into groups , I have about 30/35 I know I can count on , the next meeting is 21 of this month ...I worked my ass off ...you/Dad/Sis got on me about pushing myself to much , I learned .
ReplyDeleteNan , I hope you had a great holiday season. Did Santa bring you something nice for being such a good girl??
ReplyDeleteHave either of you made a New Years resolution?
ReplyDeleteI have decided to be more patient and control my temper. I wonder how long that will last.
How did Sis scare the shit out of you and Nan?? Did she talk about disease or preganacy??
ReplyDeleteI had great holidays got some nice gifts I think Santa brought James some pep pills .
ReplyDeleteHow was yours I know it was nice .
Nan
What the hell kind of a word is 'preganacy'??
ReplyDeleteBoth and we could get pregnant by kissing a boy .
ReplyDeleteWe had a great Christmas and New Years thankyou. Santa was good to me. But then I do a lot for Santa that others wouldn't do so I am always on his good list.
ReplyDeleteI put five pounds on my arse though.All that good food. I hate wasting it.
What scared me was when mom says we would have to get the ticks off boys like the girl did Chris . Nee and I made a pack never to let a boy kiss us or bang us. Well I guess you see how far that got us .
ReplyDeleteMom said if we marry first we wouldn't have to suck the ticks off .
NAN
PS: I won't ask what kind of pep pills they were...HA!
ReplyDeleteHoly shite!..She was trying to scare the crap out of you.Obviously, all her horror stories didn't work.
ReplyDeleteYou both took the plunge. How many ticks did you actually suck off...HA!
What kind of word is 'preganacy'/
ReplyDeleteYou have been hanging with Nee , I bet she knows what you are talking about but that's the way she talk .
With that I will say good night and go wash the puddy cat I know he wants to play.(James that is )
Talk again soon goodnight .
Nan
Uh huh ...you going to give up the choochie [giggles] NITE Sugar
ReplyDeleteNight Nan. Have a good one.Talk to you soon I hope.
ReplyDeletePS: I am not telling because I can't remember .
ReplyDeleteCan you remember Nee or should I ask your man?
Night for real Nan
Awwwww shit,I don't do ticks [giggles]
ReplyDeleteNan is you are still there come back next week and lets make Jeannie laugh at how naughty we talk when we get together .
ReplyDeleteAre you there???
I was leaving I will be happy too let me know .
ReplyDeleteNight for real Nan
Well I guess we all did one or two ticks. That's all I'm admitting to.
ReplyDeleteTime to clock off Sweetie.Where does the time go?? I will leave a note over the weekend.
Sweetie I figured NAN was still there reading our notes and laughing her ass off .
ReplyDeleteShe will be next week to talk naughty with us and then you will see just how sweet she is and where I get my naughty talk from .
I would really enjoy that ladies. Look forward to it.
ReplyDeleteWell as we all know,"It's Fun to Be Bad"
ReplyDeleteI wish you a peaceful night and naughty dreams.
Have a great weekend.See you in the dead of night. Meet you in the snowdrift behind my house. Bring your mukluks and snowshoes.
Luv & Hugs ...PIC the GENIE
I will leave you some notes over the weekend , I will also tell Dad you got his letter . I will try to think of something for you to get his goat , he says he can see you in his minds eye because you have lead such a sheltered life and thinks everyone will treat you right .
ReplyDeleteGoodnight sweetie and see you at twilight when the vampires come out .
Goodnite , pleasent dreams HUGS & KISSES...PIC
Kiss the Rock .
