Pit Bull Attack

People like this should never be allowed to own pit bulls! I've seen this video before, and this is a sick woman!! After she threatens the animal control officers she stands at her door and does a little dance. Of course here they cut that out. Oh GOD!! How old is she? She must be at least in her 30s or something. I can understand people treating their dogs like children, but this woman is indeed sick! Reminds me of Mcgillicutty, who incidentally is also a pit bull owner. At least she was when she was on my chihuahua forum.

I don't know why it is the sickest people own pit bulls. Not saying all pit bull owners are sick in the head. Just those types seem to be the ones who tend to want to own dogs like that. I've never owned a pit bull before, and I never want to. I don't dislike them, I don't blame dogs for their attacks on people. But I do get nervous with pit bulls in the same house with chihuahuas. Only the seriously demented would do things like that! That's almost like asking for trouble. Anyway, this woman has a pit bull and has ordered it to attack her landlord and his daughter, a young child!! Anyone who would make their dog attack a small child is no more than scum!! How is a little girl going to defend herself against a pit bull?? Then she makes the dog attack an animal control officer. Then she has no remorse until she finds out that she is going to jail! I'd be surprised if they let her have the dog back! But the only thing she felt bad about was that she got arrested. Nothing else. No remorse for letting her dog attack a child, no remorse for letting her dog attack the landlord or the officer. Nothing. As any true criminal type person, she only felt bad because she's going to jail. She should have been in there for a full year!!

This is a graphic video, and it makes me angry!! People like this woman give pit bulls a bad name! They are the ones who make pit bull owning illegal. Though I don't understand why it is pit bulls get all the bad press. There are worse breeds, and they are breeds that generally no one thinks is worse. Rottweilers are stronger and have been known to bite harder than a pit bull. The only thing a pit bull has that a rottweiler doesn't is jaws that interlock, and that is a typical trait for all terriers. Yet, rottweilers are not illegal anywhere that I can think of. Anyway, that woman's stupidity and desire to harm others is going to cost the dog it's life! The dog is going to be destroyed all because the owner gets such a maniacal pleasure out of making her dog attack people. I feel bad for the dog. The dog she supposedly loved. I love all my dogs. I would not send any dog to attack anyone unless I really felt my life was in danger, like a man with a gun or something. But I certainly would never deliberately send my dog to attack my landlord or an officer!! They just do their job, simple as that. There is no reason to get a dog to attack them. This woman not only gives pit bulls a bad name, she also gives fat people a bad name!!! She really pisses me off!!!

Feeding Newborn Puppies

Now for something for my TG Chi's site. I got an e-mail yesterday where someone had pups and one of the babies is fading. A strange and cruel phenomenon called "Fading Puppy Syndrome". No one really knows what causes it. It has been suggested that it was caused by lactose intolerance. I remember when I bred my first litter of chihuahuas, Bambi had 5 puppies, and all were born very healthy. Then one day in thier first week, the puppies started not feeding. The first one was a pup I named Tippy, he had an attack of diarrhea and then got off the nipple and retreated to a corner and constantly yelped. I was under the impression that he was just sick, but he never got back on the nipple. Just cried and cried until he got too weak. I didn't know it at the time, but he was suffering from fading puppy syndrome. Nothing I could think of could save him. The vet told me it must have been a congenital thing.

Well, someone on an old forum gave me a cure that he had for fading puppy syndrome, and it consisted of egg, goat's milk, chicken livers and plain yogurt. I thought that was too much, especially the egg. I just made up a formula with 5 parts goats milk and 1 part acidophilus yogurt. It helps! Make sure the yogurt is PLAIN!! No flavoring of any kind. You could go with like 1 cup of goat's milk and 2 tablespoons of plain yogurt. Mix it together, heat it to just about room temperature over the stove on low heat, do not let it boil or simmer. The idea is to keep the good bacteria in the yogurt working, not kill them. In the meantime, boil a large beef liver in a seperate pot with just enough water to cover the top of the liver. Make sure it is filtered water. Boil it until all the blood seeps out and the water has turned brownish in color, take out the beef liver (I just toss it away), strain the water into a bowl and allow to cool completely. Once it is cooled, mix in 1/3 cup with the yogurt mixture real well, and this is your formula for your fading puppy. Some breeders swear by it! Some add corn syrup to the mixture too. But I don't really recommend this unless the puppy is weak and limp. If that happens, add about 1 tablespoon of corn syrup to about 1/3 cup of filtered water and give the puppy 1 drop directly on the tongue. Do not tube feed the corn syrup formula.

Now, how much to give. Well, give it to the puppy every 2 hours for the first week, then every 4 hours for the second week. The puppy must be weighed. If you know the weight of your puppy, you can give it the proper dosage of formula. This is a chart I got from a book called The Joy of Breeding Your Own Show Dog. It's a very highly recommended book if you are going to breed.

Weight of puppy....................Amount of formula at each feeding
60 g........................................................................4 cc
90 g........................................................................6 cc
120 g......................................................................8 cc
150 g.....................................................................10 cc
180 g.....................................................................12 cc
210 g.....................................................................14 cc
240 g.....................................................................16 cc
270 g.....................................................................18 cc
300 g....................................................................20 cc
330 g....................................................................22 cc
360 g....................................................................24 cc
390 g....................................................................26 cc
420 g....................................................................28 cc
450 g....................................................................30 cc
480 g....................................................................32 cc

Stalking!!

I've heard about some fans stalking their favorite celebs, for most people, it's just a bit of harmless fun. As long as they keep it clean and remember that famous people have private lives too and want them to stay that way. Well, today I heard about a man who had been stalking Shawn Johnson from Dancing With The Stars, and he was caught at her home by police with a shot gun, a hand gun and duct tape! I saw that and I was like "WTF??" It's obvious what this man had on his mind, and I thank GOD he didn't get a chance to pull it off! I just don't see how someone can claim to love their favorite celebs so much and then turn around and do something like what this man was probably going to do to this young lady! I just don't see the logic in that at all!! GOD I hate men!!!!! LOL! When most women (unless they are gay) stalk a male celeb, they don't want to kill them. But when a man stalks a female celeb, all they ever want to do is kill them, or torture them!! Why is that??? I'll tell you why. Because men are disgusting and stupid!!!

All I know is I love Tim Farriss! I love him so much though but I never want to see him dead or tortured. I feel so much better just seeing him happy. That's all I would care about. If shooing me away from him and telling me to get lost would make him happy, believe me I would not hesitate to grant that wish for him. LOL! So far he hasn't done that but you never know. I thank my lucky stars that Tim has always been so sweet to me when we've met. Believe me I know I could never be more than a fan to him and that is OK by me! I'm not going to hang around outside his home, or call him every 5 minutes on the phone, or send him 100 e-mails a day. I just don't do things like that! I don't even have his phone # or his e-mail address and I don't even want it!! I remember on the delusional fans forum, the person called incognito tried to make me jealous by telling me she had Tim's e-mail address. LOL!! But no. I don't have it and I don't want it. She probably pestered him for it anyway. I couldn't do that. It's his choice if he wants to give it to me, nothing more. Knowing the way I am, even if I had it, I'd never use it. What would I say in an e-mail to him? Nothing he hasn't ever heard before, that's for sure!! LOL!!

Well anyway, Robert O'ryan was Johnson's stalker. He is in jail now. I think he was the one that said that he was able to communicate with Johnson through ESP and she told him that way that she wanted him. In O'ryan's case, ESP would mean Extra Stupid Perception!! I would think Johnson would already have a guy!! O'ryan claimed he traveled all the way from Florida to LA to be with her. Very different from me traveling from WA state to LA to see INXS. Because at least I am fully aware Timmy is not in any way, shape or form, interested in me!!! So I am not doing my travels to steal him from his family. I just like seeing him perform. I like seeing his face, and that is the extent of it. Nothing more. I've had people left and right accuse me of being a stalker for Tim Farriss, but I figure those people are only judging me based on what they themselves would probably do. But as I've said many times before, I am not like them, or any other people you could meet!! I'm a true individual!! If you want to truly predict me, think of what the average stalking fan would do, and then contradict it with the complete opposite. That's me. Where other fans would walk up to Timmy, I'd be moving away. I only approached him that once because I wanted that photo op with him. Then the second time because I had a dare to settle with Katrina!! She won that bet BTW.

Anyway, this is sure a crazy world we live in!! Men need to learn to get a grip!!! Take a lesson from most women. Most women are gentle and sweet, and would not hurt our favorite celebs!!

Lacey Is GONE!!

I wondered how long it was going to take Chef Ramsay to eliminate this parasite. He told her before she left to give everyone a proper goodbye. She did but her team mates didn't seem to care she was going. No one said good bye back. She commented before she left that her mom told her before going there not to make enemies. And that is exactly what she did there. She made nothing but enemies. By the time she left there, everyone despised her. I was like no wonder!! She's not a team-player!! In the first episode that her group lost a competition, while everyone was taking their punishment, Lacey took to her bed and cried. Who could like someone like that?? How could chef Ramsay even think for one week that she would be able to adequately manage a huge restaurant like the Borgata? Lacey was worse than me!! I've never taken to my bed and cried just because I've lost a competition! If I did that every time I lost a competition, I'd never get out of my bed and my eyes would never be dry. But I don't. I just pick up the pieces and say "better luck next time". That's how you learn to deal with things like that.

In all honesty, I think I know who is going to win this competition. I hate to give away the name, but I think the 2 finalists are going to be Andrea and Ben. Let's see what happens. Though I'd really hate to see Danny go. He is a very good worker. And he's kinda cute besides. He kinda reminds me of how Timmy looked during the FMDH era. Except for those big, Kirk-like ears, he looks great!!! But Ben is the bigger leader type. But I sure do wish I was a teenager again, I'd love to get Danny on a sofa made of Corinthian leather!!! Him and all that lovely, dark, curly hair and those deep, blue eyes. Have to do something about those ears though. Give them back to Kirk!! Give him Timmy's ears. hehe!!! If he doesn't make it good at Hell's Kitchen, he'd make a great model. Of course he wouldn't really want a fat-ass like me. But I wasn't fat as a teenager! And that is where I would be at if I were falling in love with this man.

What's In The Mix

Have you ever had a dog that you just cannot figure out what breeds it is mixed with? I'm not a mutt person, but I used to work at the Humane Society and I've encountered that many times. Well, if you are interested in knowing, there is now a DNA test that can be given to determine what is in the dogs' background. Of course I have a knack for being able to look at a dog and tell what it is for the most part. In most cases you can. In this video for example, these people figured the primary breed in their mixed breeds. The primary is the dominant breed, and that is usually easiest to tell on first glance, especially if you know dogs like I do.

A good example is when I was 7 years old, we had a dog that was half collie and half St. bernard. She had the face of a collie, the coat of a collie, and the hefty body of a st. bernard and the markings of a typical st. bernard. Anyone who knew anything about dogs back then could tell what she was mixed with because they showed up so evenly on her. But in this video, these people could not figure out more than the primary breed. Of course, usually if a dog is half german shepherd dog or pit bull, those breeds usually dominate. But you'd be surprised to see what else is in the mixtures of these dogs. No one would have ever guessed had it not been for the DNA results.

http://dsc.discovery.com/videos/news-dna-reveals-dog-heritage.html

I can imagine these cost a pretty penny! But if you're like me, and know dogs very well and can get an idea what is behind them by just looking at them, you can go for that. Of course even I would never have guessed that undersized pit-bull looking dog would have had bernese mountain dog as well!! Nothing but DNA results would have revealed that!

Tim Is Gorgeous

I was reading this article on another site and there was something about an artist who did a painting of Tim Farriss, I love it!!! He's captured the real Timmy!!! I hope Tim loves it. This artist did things with Tim's portrait that I haven't been able to do. But then I am not that great at drawing people. The last sketch I made of Timmy, I made him look like Glenn Close as Pruella DeVille!! But this guy did a great job with Timmy's portrait! He even caught the realness in Tim's eyes! That I always thought was an impossible task. Now, I want me a copy of that painting!! I'd love to have it over my bed.


Looks like the Farriss's are a great art inspiration! First a painting of Jon was done, now this painting of Tim. All 3 of them have gorgeous faces. Having met Jon many, many times, I can tell you all, to look in his face absolutely stunned me! He is so gorgeous!!!! His eyes are deep blue and they just take you in. It helps a lot that Jon is so kind and sweet. And Tim, I don't need to tell you he is a lot more handsome in real life than he is in pictures and on television. Not that he is any less handsome in pictures. He's still a gorgeous man. Now, all we need is someone who is good and can do a portrait of Andrew. He is also a handsome man, in his own way. He's the only man I ever liked with a moustache and a beard. Though I heard he has since shaved it off. That's kindof a shame, he looked great in that, and it gave him a lot of character!! Without it, he just looks like a big, cuddly teddy bear! One that you cannot help but want to hug! Having met him several times, he is sweet enough to warrant a big hug!! I've met all of them several times. All I need now is a siggy from Timmy like the ones his younger brothers gave me. hehe! But I guess he just never thinks of things like that. But if I could get one from him like that, I'll have a completed collection of signatures from the Farriss's that have hearts and arrows. hehe! And addressed to me specifically. I never even asked them to do that! They did it on their own. I love it though! Be nice to have a complete collection like that. But if it doesn't ever happen, that is OK too. I have several good siggies from all the guys. A lot of memories are attached to each one. Like the one that I got on the Switch album. I cannot tell you what Hell I went through to get that album!!! You've heard people say "A funny thing happened to me on the way to *insert destination here*..." Well, I can say many funny things happened to me on the way to the INXS Switch album signing in LA. It was the wrong time of year to travel from here to LA. But I am so glad I went!!


Well, the thing that got me so honked off at that article is the author said Tim's face isn't that pretty. What's up with that??? Tim's face is GORGEOUS!! You hear me??
Gorgeous!
Gorgeous!
GORGEOUS!!!!!!


I've been hard pressed to find a man who is as kind and wonderful as Tim is with all his wonderful attributes!! He's got the most beautiful hair I've ever seen on anyone. I love his eyes. His accent gets to me every time I hear him. Well, not that I want a man that bad, and I know Tim is taken and always will be. But IF I were looking for someone, if that someone were available, and I could find someone like I just described, I'd take him in a minute!! And no, I don't want Tim himself!!! As much as I love the guy, if he were available, and I were 200 pounds thinner, I still wouldn't take him. I couldn't stand to be separated from him for months at a time while he was on tour. I don't know how his wife stands it. She must be well used to it by now though.

Anyway, here's the pic. This guy is GOOD!!!! My line of work consists mainly of sketches. I don't do much painting. Not that I couldn't if I wanted to.





Now that I would give anything to have hanging over my bed!! Compare that to this, and I think the similarity is remarkable!




I think in the painting the nose is just a little bit too large, but all in all it looks magnificent!!

Quote of the Day

I just wanted to save this. This was today's quote of the day:

"Few people can see genius in someone who has offended them. - Robertson Davies"

That is so true and typical of most people. Well, most people except me. I see genius in people who truly have it. Whether I like them or not. Like I said before (and everyone who has ever gotten to know me), I'm not like other people. I'm always honest, no matter what. But I see it all the time, people think just because someone doesn't like them, or says whatever is on their minds, that they are stupid or cannot do anything. I was glad to read this quote. I now know I am not the only person who has seen this as typical human behavior.

But then people judge others on what they like, and in such everyone has their own taste. Take for example, art. I think I do good sketches, a lot of people have told me I do great artwork. Not everyone though, because my style does not satisfy everyone. I learned that early on. Some people like my drawings while others don't. It's OK by me! I don't like Dali or Picasso's paintings. Doesn't mean my opinion is right or the only one there is. Well, you know what I mean. There are those though who base their opinions of my talent on their personal feelings about me. It's their business if they want to close their minds that way, but those people I tend to generally not listen to. They don't count. LOL! And yes, I can tell those people are basing their views on their personal feelings for me. It's not hard to see that when you've been at this as long as I have.

LOL! I remember when I was a little kid (about 5 or 6 years old) it used to make me feel sad when people said they didn't like my drawings. Now, I'm like "so what." I don't even flinch. I just chalk it up to that my style is just not their style. Anyone who bases their opinions of my work on how they feel about me personally are worthless anyway.

Good News

The apartment above us has been rented, to my ma and stepfather. It's going to be nice to have someone here that I know very well. I tried to get my stepfather a job at the local casino, but he took one look at the place and said he doesn't want to work there. I don't know why, it's a great place. He's got a great personality, he'd have been a huge success there! But no, he wants to stay where he is and commute. It's a 2-hour drive (at the most) from here to Olympia. But it's his business if he wants to commute.


Ma is going to try and get a job here. It shouldn't be too tough. She has a lot of options, and she has never had trouble getting a job anywhere that I can remember. She's like Anna. She can get work anywhere and everyone will love her. Me, I'm just lucky I'm a damn good worker! I don't go to my job to make friends and everyone seems to know that. Geez, I never realized how bad that sounded until I wrote that. Not that I don't like the people I work with. Most of them anyway.


Well, now that ma and John will be moving upstairs, I'll have to think of ways for all of us to enjoy it out here. I don't want them moving away. I sure do hope they enjoy it here. Well, yesterday we had a rare day, it was rainy all day. I haven't seen a day like that since the day after we moved here. I still remember what it was like the day we moved here. We slept in the car our first night. It was COLD!!! But our electricity hadn't been turned on yet, and all we had back then were the airbeds. So without electricity, we couldn't inflate them, so we had to sleep in the car. It wouldn't have been so bad except that it was freezing that night. Well, the next day our electricity was turned on and we were finally able to inflate our beds and sleep in a warmer environment. Well, at least it was a good adventure. That's something I could tell my grandkids about. Well, whatever you call the children of your nieces and nephews. LOL!

Well, ma won't have to do that, she's calling ahead of time to have the electricity turned on in that apartment. Thank goodness for that!! I should have done that before we moved here, but we moved here a bit unexpectedly. And I know my memory besides. I forgot!!! Ma is planning, and should be into her new home this weekend. Going to be fun. And at least I won't get lonely when Anna goes off to Bozeman to school. She leaves this weekend to meet there for a college tour. She is so excited, and I am excited for her!!

A Good Roast

You know, it seems everyone visited my blog more and I got more comments (either off this blog or on it) when I was roasting people!! When I was talking about the delusional fans forum, the dirty dozen mob, DonnaG and her supporters and how much I despise stuck-up show breeders! Kinda sad really. No one wants to read about the good things in my life, all they want to read are rants and ragings. That really sucks!! What does that say about the people in this World? Though I had a perfectly good topic going with the INXS vs. JD Fortune drama. I only hope that the silence going on in that subject now can only mean that something has been worked out. But that would be a slightly delusional thought. We won't really know until the new INXS website is completed and the next album has been cut. JD is still listed on their MySpace and Facebook as the lead singer. He's also still listed on the site as such. But with the site experiencing reconstruction now, that is apt to change soon.

Metalraptor told me that in this blog, I sound like I am becoming too obsessed with getting even with Viergacht and JohnFaa, so I have to quit that too! I don't want to become what they've become. Or may have always been. I knew it was going to take a long time to shed old habits. I've always been the type that I don't get mad, I get even and I just wanted to point out to some negative nellies out there that I can indeed do anything I put my mind to. I set out to create a cute clip with the dogs that would win (actually I didn't expect it to win) but that is what I did! It won first place! Now, I want to do it again. Now that people who really matter have told me that I have talent in film-making, I have the confidence implanted, and I can go on with this hobby. Those people who matter judged my abilities from an UNbiased viewpoint. Something that Viergacht and JohnFaa would never have been able to give me. But who cares!? They're sickos anyway! No one likes JohnFaa. He thinks they do, but from what I've heard they really don't. I would have liked him, he actually had me on his side once. But not no more!! Not after he shit on me behind my back, and then dropped the F-bomb on me after I confronted him. No way!! The only one who likes him is Viergacht, and Viergacht is nuts and not a decent person, and probably only likes him because JohnFaa agrees with everything he says.

I was thumbing around on my chihuahua website and I stumbled upon the blog of someone I used to know back when I bred chihuahuas. She had major surgery. She is recovering now, but I know how it is to have surgery. I've had 2, one major, in my life and it is scary. She also mentioned how she just lost a dog. I felt bad for her! She said though that she can still feel that dog's presence in her home. I know that feeling too. After I lost Groucho, I could still feel her presence in my home! I haven't felt her here though, I think we left her at the other house. That's a sad thing. One day I was lying in my bed, and I swore I could see what looked like an outlining of her sleeping on that big, blue blanket she loved so much. It was clear, yet faint. It looked almost like a silhouette of her. I never said anything because people would have just dismissed it as a grieving pet owner who just wants to see her dog again. But I saw it.

I didn't say anything to her, probably for pretty much the same reason I didn't call this other breeder who was sick in the hospital. I would have, but I didn't want my phone # getting out to her, and perhaps to other show breeders and somehow reaching Rita. But Rita even used to bad-mouth this person I am speaking of. Just like she bad-mouthed almost every other breeder I've ever known, always behind their back too. Rita said this woman is just in this business for the money and not for the betterment of the Chihuahua breed. This woman I speak of has done a lot of business with Burgundy, as did Rita. Shows how big a hypocrite Rita is!! I was just uncomfortable around show breeders. Oh I remember Anna and I used to go to handling classes in Olympia!! UGH!!!

There was a woman who always came in with a younger man, I guess he was her son, he looked like he was up in his teens or early 20s. They always brought in italian greyhounds. A cute breed, but that woman was creepy!! And stuck-up! I mean, you could look up "snobby show breeders" in the dictionary and there would have been a picture of this woman's face on there, I swear to you. Anna was doing the ring thing in that class and that woman was standing beside her. Odessa wanted to socialize with that woman's dog, and I kept telling Anna to keep Odessa away from that woman! Anna said "Well, let her socialize!" I walked up to her, in the middle of the class, and I whispered to her "I don't trust this woman! She looks like a serial killer!" She did too! She never smiled, never spoke, always had a frown on her face and her eyebrows fixed in a defiant snear. I always waited until she was LONG gone whenever she was there before we headed to our car because it was night out when our class was done, and I did not trust that woman!!! I don't think she ever bathed either. I made the mistake once of going to the restroom after her, don't ever do that!! She had body odor that topped that of every dog in the class! But as long as she was there, I just rushed into the restroom, shut and locked the door behind me! Thankfully, she never stood around to socialize, she always just got her dogs and kid and left immediately after class.

I'm to a point now where I just say I despize the snobby breeders. I've met some that were actually quite nice. Unfortunately those kind of breeders are really very rare. More of them are like that woman at the handling class with the italian greyhounds. At least her dogs looked clean. Cleaner than she did. Well, that was the end of handling class for me. Unless I could have private classes, that was it! I didn't want to risk bumping into her again. That is what I am afraid of about show breeders. If all of them are like that it'll drive all potential pet owners right into the clutches of backyard breeders. I know I wouldn't want to deal with someone with anti-social tendencies if I am looking for a puppy. Neither does anyone I know. That's why pet stores tell their employees to be nice to the customers. They make hefty commissions when they are nicer to the customers. But now most pet stores only sell pups that are ACA registered. Then, with the rise in designer mutts out there being bred, I must question the purity of those pups. I like purebreeds. I'm not a mutt person by any stretch of the imagination. I don't know why, purebreeds just fascinate me. At least with them, you know what you're getting. With a mutt you could get something that looks good and is tiny when you first get it and might grow to be 5 pounds as an estimated adult weight. But then when it grows, everything may not be where it was when you got it, and the tiny pup you got and expected to not get bigger than 5 pounds, winds up weighing 25 pounds!

Chihuahuas are unpredictable in growth anyway. I thought Vegas was going to be a 10-pounder for sure! He weighed 2 pounds at 4 weeks and was FAT!! But he is now 2 years old and weighs 4 pounds. He looks better than Odessa conformation-wise.

Well, on to another subject, Obama. I will hand him this, he is a fast worker. He said something very offensive about the Special Olympics though. I am glad he apologized for that remark. I hope this isn't a view of things to come. People voted for Obama because they said he was intelligent. Well, that comment about disabled people was not a very intelligent comment! Well, we all have word-slips and brain-farts. I just hope that is the last time he says something like that.

Then I saw this: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090322/ap_on_go_pr_wh/obama_economy. Could this be true? It's still early in the game. But I can tell you I still do not trust Obama. Now that he is in the White House, I find it very scary. I remember someone on the Pluba forums (not mentioning any names) said Obama was a good person. She claimed she has a knack for being able to tell who is a good person and who isn't. When she said that I was like "I don't know!" She thought Ankhu was a good person on that forum, and greets her with open arms. I always hated Ankhu!! She was everything I hate about show breeders and much MORE!! Definately NOT a good person! So, I wouldn't think I could trust this person's judgment. Nothing personal, just her judgment is obviously not as good as mine is. Didn't make me feel better when she raved about Obama.

Let me tell you all about how sharp my instincts are. I remember back in 2003, I was in an e-mail group that discussed the different colors of chihuahuas. A man named Rob Wyer was on there. I didn't like him at all, from day 1. He never did anything to me, but I just didn't like him. I thought it was just me. Everyone else (including this young woman I spoke of before) all thought he was a wonderful person, he even played Santa that Christmas for the children in the hospital. I thought I misjudged him and tried to like him. But I just couldn't. My instincts kept shouting at me that he was evil! The next year, I started hearing one by one by people that he was a liar, a thief, a swindler, and 2 years later, I found out he was a racist!! I can forgive a lot of things, but racism is not one of them!! Then I understood why I didn't like him before, and hated him even more after that! He was a show person, and had some lovely chihuahuas. But when he commented to someone that they were now allowing n*****s to show, it made me so angry!!! Those were HIS words, NOT mine!!! I'd NEVER say something like that! But there is an indication that my instincts are razor sharp! When they talk, I listen.

New Singer For INXS?

Maybe. Though I would more love to see INXS work things out with JD before going to look for a new lead singer. But if they were going to look for a singer, I think I know of a darn good candidate. His name is Vance Lee, and he has exceptional talent, and he really looks up to INXS. He's one of my buds on MySpace, and he sent me this video. He is doing the song, Bitter Tears, and he does sound a little like Michael Hutchence. Of course he has his own tones and pitches, everyone does. But he is one of those blessed with a powerful voice. He will surely be going places!

Anyway, I wanted to post this up just in case INXS happens to be looking in, though I don't expect it! But IF they are, and still looking for someone to take JD's place. This young man could do it. That's IF they just cannot seem to work things out with JD. I'd rather they tried to, because I really truly hate to see the relationship they built up with JD to end the way it seems to. Chris Murphy, I like the guy, nothing personal but he needs to back off and leave the guys to work it out with JD alone. But if things cannot get worked out, here is a nice young man who has a lot of potential:




You know, my sis Anna and I have been working on a movie script to do this summer. It's a movie about 2 stupid chicks (played by me and Anna) in Yellowstone National Park. I want it to head up a series of "Stupid Chick" movies. I wonder how much INXS would charge to do the music for the movie? hehe! Seriously, I mean that! All movies have music, and to show I still have faith in the band, I'd surely hire them to do the music. If nothing else, I would love to use their back catalogue, because I'd love to also do Stupid Chicks in Vegas. Pretty Vegas would be great for travel music in that movie!!

We Won!!

We won first place!! I wanted to make sure of it before I wrote anything. But we won!! We were among the top 2 finalists, and they chose Anna's movie among all of them. I never even expected us to make the top 2 finalists! It was exciting that we did!! And Viergacht and his friends laughed at me when I said I wanted to take up film making. The movie was based on my idea, I did the camera, the script and all. Anna was the actress and she came up with some lines too. But I gave her the credit. I may just take up movie making now! If for nothing else but just to piss off Viergacht! Forgive me for bragging, but I feel like that right was bought and paid for.

Lemme tell you all something about Viergacht, OK? He's the kind of idiot that would call Gordon Ramsay a dunderhead if he was trying to be a cook. We all know Gordon Ramsay is a master chef! A genius in his field. But he is a lot like me, he says what is on his mind, and doesn't sugar-coat anything. Him being a master chef, I love that about him. I am probably the first person after Dixon to create a World of the future, I have books about the creatures of my Metazoic world that are older than a lot of the people on the SE forum!! I learned a lot about evolution in general, I have every book ever made on the subject, and I've taken it all in. But of course I have my own opinions. I don't see myself as THE authority on future evolution, but I think I'm pretty well up there. Certainly high above JohnFaa and Viergacht!

So I don't know who these dunderheads were that Viergacht was talking about that cannot be compared to Van Gogh and other such artists, but it sure wasn't me!! LOL!! And this is proof! We might do it all again next year. Anna and I were sketching a bit on the way home, and we came up with another little skit to do with the dogs next year.

When Opportunity Knocks

Well, you know what they say about when opportunity knocks, you'd better open the door! Today I walked into a store and found some darned good laptop computers on sale for less than $500! We happened to have enough in the bank to accommodate the purchase of one of those laptops, so that is what we did! I now am the proud owner of an awesome new laptop computer!! So far I love it!! It's got touch-sensitive buttons that control the DVD player/recorder! They are so cool! Got 4 gigs of memory, and 260 GB capacity hard drive. Of course I won't be saving anything on here, I still have my little 1 TB external drive that I will be saving everything on. I only put my INXS pics on here so I can keep my Timmy on my desktop.

I want to keep Metalraptor as an author on my Metazoic blog, he really livens things up on there. Besides, I kinda like having another author there. But I will also be going back to making posts on that blog. I was thumbing back on some posts I made about the people on the SE forum. I noticed that I dissed a guy who calls himself Venatosaurus on there. In case he or anyone else saw that, I wanted to let everyone know Venatosaurus and I have since made up, and he showed me some of the animals from his upcoming site. I really like his carnivorous duiker. Duikers will indeed become carnivorous. However, I am only apologizing to Venatosaurus. JohnFaa and Viergacht are still on my shit-list. Oh, and I have a special surprise for Viergacht! *VBG* I will be announcing it tomorrow night! Oh, and believe me, he is going to *LOVE* it!! LOLOL!!! I would announce it now, but I want to make absolutely sure about it before I say anything. I already told the news to Katrina, Eva and my other friends. I just haven't told ma and pa yet. I'm waiting for when ma comes here hopefully next week, and pa should be coming in May. I should call him and tell him the news, he'll love it too! But in a very different way than Viergacht, because Anna and I.......... well, I don't want to give it away just yet! I love mysteries. hehe! All I will say now is I LOVE having chihuahuas!!!!!!!

Well, I just wanted to announce that I am officially back, with my own computer forever!

Best All-Time Stupid Shows

OK, because I do not like dwelling on the negative, I thought I would list some TV shows that are plenty stupid, but for some reason I enjoy them. They are the best of the worst in my opinion. This is also to show that I do not necessarily dislike something just because I think it's stupid. Some stupid things are fun.

Married, With Children - definately a stupid show that stars Ed O'Neil and Christina Applegate. It is stupid because of the way the father makes fun of fat women, and the mom and kids make fun of the father. Then how everyone makes fun of a man who sells shoes. What's up with that?? Not all shoe salesmen are jerks. Though they don't exist anymore because people can pick out their own shoes. But anyway, as stupid as this show may be, it is funny.

My Favorite Martian - A show that you know was supposed to be made for adults, but the appeal is more in favor of the child-side in us. I guess that's why I like this show that stars Ray Walston and Bill Bixby. It is old, and it is corny in some cases, but it definitely does well in giving me a good belly-laugh sometimes. Besides that, I miss Bill Bixby!!

Gomer Pyle, USMC - This show that stars Jim Nabors is a bit on the corny side because he represents a hick that was raised in the country with mild-mannered, country habits and was drafted into the Marine Corps which has a very city-guy feel. Being originally a country, southern girl, I can relate. Which I guess is why I enjoy this ridiculously funny show.

Fast Times - This became a sitcom in 1986 I believe, and was a spin-off of the 1982 movie Fast Times At Ridgemont High. The show starred Dean Cameron as the teenage surf-monger Spicoli, and Wally Ward as Ratner, who longed for a girl Stacy (played by Courtney Thorne-Smith) who would not give him the time of day at first. It also starred Ray Walston (as did the original movie) as Mr. Hand, and I guess that was one contributing factor to my interest in this painfully short-lived, but corny, series.

Gilligan's Island - I think it's pretty safe to say that any sitcom that stars Bob Denver is going to be pretty dang corny, but outrageously funny! Such is the case for Gilligan's Island. Alan Hale plays the part of a skipper who acts like a tyrant, while Denver plays the meek and mousey little helper and first mate. Bob Denver was actually my first crush as a child, so that kinda paved the way for my interest in this show. But it is still very corny and funny.

Well, that's my list of the best of the worst. But it is these corny plots that make these shows what they really are and meant to be: funny!!!

Worst All-Time Programs

My sis Anna gave me the idea for this topic, as we started discussing this the other day when I listed my top worst songs in history (or worst music, take your choice). I seem to have got off the subject of just picking out worst songs to going all the way and picking out the worst music as well. Anyway, now I want to discuss the worst programs I've ever seen on television. Programs that I personally always tend to ask why they were ever made in the first place.

The 700 Club - This one definitely tops my list of worst ever TV shows! If I was going to pick a show and say I wish it had never been made, it'd be this one. I never will forgive this show for altering my ma's mind in the early 80s. It led her to believe all rock music was evil. It altered her mind so much that my sis Anna had a collection of rare songs, and ma just went into her room one day while she was in school and threw all the music away. When we asked why she did that, she said because the 700 Club said that there were "hidden messages" of Satan worship in all rock music. Oh BROTHER!!!!

The Greatest American Hero - One of those cheesy early 80s sitcoms. My ma used to like this crap. I confess I like the opening theme song, it was the only reason to ever watch this show, but once the theme was over, turn off the TV!! The show is nothing but crap!!

Family Matters - The show that discovered the Oleson twins. Why I wonder? Even as babies, those chicks were ugly as sin! They had eyes like ostriches and the schnoz of mules. They seem to be what brought ugly to become "the in thing". Anyway I did notice after they became popular, all animation went down the tube.

Spongebob Squarepants - OK, on with the kiddie cartoons. This is one of the worst. It is stupidity in it's purest form. I've bashed it before on this blog. And what's this about a sponge falling in love with a squirrel? A sea creature falling in love with a land creature! It's dumb!! And the drawings used to illustrate this cartoon leaves much to be desired. I could make better characters using my feet while blindfolded! When I heard that Johnny Depp was doing one of the voices for the latest Spongebob movie, my respect level for that actor went right down the tube!

Rugrats - This cartoon is not only filled with shitty animation, and drawings, but it seems to teach kids nothing except how to disrespect each other and adults. IMO, kiddie shows can be fun and educational as well. They were when I was growing up. I think Nickelodeon really got off track with this cartoon! There is no good educational value in this program at all.

Family Ties - My sis Anna likes this crap. But I could never get to like it at all. First of all, I don't care for Michael J. Fox. Second, it's just a dumb show! Seems all he is interested in in this show is who is republican or democrat! UGH!!!!

Sesame Street - I'm not talking about the old school SS that I grew up with, I'm talking about the Sesame Street that Elmo has invaded and altered so badly. It SUCKS now as a show!!! You cannot watch a single episode nowadays without seeing Elmo's cheesy face!! The name of the show might as well be changed to "Elmo's Street" because it just isn't Sesame Street anymore. It's not only stupid, but sad too. I have a collection of old school Sesame Street (before Elmo came into the picture) both on audio and video, and sometimes when I listen to them, it brings tears to my eyes because it's a grim reminder of how progress can really SUCK!!!

Big Cat Diary - I just HATE large felines. Enough said! Any program devoted strictly to them is stupid in my book.

The Andy Griffith Show - One of the classics, but this one is dumb! Though I like some of it's offshoot programs, like Gomer Pyle. My ma likes this crap though.

Well those are some of the dumbest shows I can think of right off the top of my head. I'm sure there is more somewhere, but I just cannot think of them right now. Keep in mind, this is only my own opinion. I'm sure there are people who disagree with my list, and probably have a list of their own, maybe even a list that includes some shows I love. Who knows? Usually I am pretty flexible about TV shows, as much as I am about music. But these shows I've listed have committed the unforgivable sin of being unequivocally STUPID!!!

Worst All-Time Songs

I was reading another blog and someone listed the songs that in his opinion were torture. Some I would definitely agree with. For example, anything from Brittney Spears or Meatloaf would be torture. For some reason there are people in this World who like that crap. I cannot even begin to imagine being locked up in a room with nothing but Brittney Spears and Meatloaf running constantly, day after day, with no way to turn it off!! That would be my worst nightmare come true!!! Well, this person listed his top 10 list of worst songs in history. I'm pretty much a music lover, I'm pretty flexible when it comes to music. I can listen to anything from almost any band (though I've proven more than once that INXS tops the list as my favorite band), so for me to say a song is like a needle sticking in my ears, that's pretty darned bad! I cannot promise there will be a full list of 10 songs, but some of the worst songs I've ever heard are (in no particular order):

Elmo's Song - from Sesame Street's little red fiend, Elmo. OK, this guy listed a couple of kiddie songs, the Sesame Street Theme Song and Barney's "I Love You". At first I thought he was jerking everyone around and trying to fill up space in the most desperate way by listing songs for children, which it would not really be fair for an adult to rate. While I agree Barney's song is indeed worthy of the title of being one of the worst, I believe Elmo's Song is even more annoying! Not only is Elmo ugly, stupid and annoying in every conceivable way, his song is everything he is and more!! Making it one of the worst and stupidest songs I've ever heard.

I Ran - by Flock of Seagulls. The song really SUCKS!!! It has no rhythm, not much of a melody, and the idiots who croak out the words can't even sing for shit!!! This is one song you will NEVER hear from my ipod!!

She Blinded Me With Science - by Thomas Dolby. I've been blinded by science before, but Dolby was a jerk to come out with this song!! Like a lot of songs from the 1982-83 era, it's simply cheesy!! Too stupid to exist! Thank GOD those years are long over with!

Hungry Like the Wolf - by Duran Duran. I have often admitted to not liking Duran in the 1980s and took pains to avoid hearing them. IMO, a lot of their songs from the 80s were stupid, but this one tops them all off! When I hear this song on the radio, I remember why I didn't like this group in the 80s and turn it off to listen to some of their 90s stuff, which is 1000 million times better than this crap of a song!!

I Don't Want to Fall In Love - by Jane Child. Among the ultimate in stupidity of songs. When I first heard this parrot squawking on the radio, I wanted to punch her in the face and turn off the music. This song has about as much personality as a test pattern on television. It SUCKS!!!

Tempted - by Squeeze. Just the first couple of bars from this song makes me want to do nothing but turn it off! It reminds me a lot of what Metalraptor says about most peoples' blogs, the kind of blogs that say "I got up this morning, pulled the covers from over my head, marched to the bathroom, took a dump...etc" you get the picture. This song was a lousy way to start off the 80s, and no doubt led to the endless line of cheesy music that followed in the earliest years of the decade.

This is not even the last of it. I also hate specific groups (bands), and these groups I would never even give a listen to no matter how popular they are with other people:

Oasis - The first on my list of crap bands! Their songs are too dark and creepy. Besides the fact that these morons bad-mouthed INXS, even after Michael was so nice and kind to them and even handed them their aria award.

Brittney Spears - This bitch I just want to knock out with a good, swift arm-bludgeon to the head! She annoys me every time she opens the crack in her face!!! The same crack she probably stole from her ass. As many plastic surgeries as she's had, I wouldn't doubt it!

Meatloaf - As I said at the beginning of this blog, Meatloaf SUCKS!!! Anyone who puts anything Meatloaf on their list of worst songs, I can say for sure it is very well deserved! The man can't carry a tune without his damn voice cracking. Makes his music sound more like a cross between R&B and country, with far too much emphasis on the country side.

The Doors - I remember back in the early days of INXS forums, people shunned me because I hated the Doors! I guess they thought the only way to get me to like the Doors was to shit-talk me as a person. Too bad it didn't work! I still hate the Doors!!! Their music is like that of Oasis. Too dark and creepy for me.

Then, there is the genre thing. These are types of music where I don't like most of the bands or most of the songs. Again, I don't care how popular they are with most people, I still can't stand this shit:

Anything rap - I hate rap music with a burning passion!!! Especially when they started ripping off the classics, like that one song that mimicks the Bee Gees's "Staying Alive".

Anything R&B - I like the old-style R&B. My sis Anna listens to this crap today, but it is too slow and too wimpy for me to boogie to.

Most country songs - Though there are some that sound OK, most country music is too whiny and wimpy for me. Like Meatloaf's music! But for some of the faster country songs with less whining, that sound more like rock n roll (and there are some of those), they're OK.

Well, those are the worst things in music, keep in mind, it's only my own opinion. There are undoubtedly others who would disagree with me, and probably have their own list of worst songs in history.

***********EDIT TO ADD*************

2 more worsts in music, IMO:

Alannis Morrisette - I hate this woman! Normally, I don't take to female singers at all. I'm not saying women cannot be good singers, I just don't normally take to them as well as I do to male singers. But this woman does not even sing! She screeches! I can't stand her! Her "singing" is like a needle in my ear!!

Sinead O'Connor - I cannot even believe I forgot this woman! How could I? She was horrible!! I don't even know why her song became so popular. She whines too much!
