Voice Blogs!

I've been having some fun with posting voice blogs. But finding the right provider has been difficult. Most providers only allow you to talk for 3-5 minutes. Sometimes it's not easy to fit 35 years worth of ideas in 5 minutes, maximum. I have too much to draw back on. Well, I finally found a voice blog provider that gives me unlimited minutes per blog. It's a site called Snapvine. I even tried MyVox, and it SUCKS!!! MyVox used to have where you can make up voice blog boxes that you can put on any blog, I used to use them all the time. I'd record my message over the phone, get a code and put it up on my Timmy-love space. But they don't do that no more. Now, they only have where your friends can leave you voice messages and that's it.

Well, I've been working with Snapvine, and it's been fun. If nothing else, I may start posting voice blogs on here. It'd be awesome!! A lot of time at night, my sis Anna and I will get into deep discussion, and sometimes that would lead to some interesting before bedtime pillow-talk with Vegas later on in my bedroom. I thought instead of just telling these stories to Vegas, who can probably hear me, but cannot answer back, or really understand what I am saying, I can put all my late-night discussions on my blog, and let the world know what goes through my mind before bedtime. So far, I've done discussions about INXS, which usually compensates about 90% of my nightly discussions, pets and animals, Metazoica, and today I did a blog about road rage, based on an incident that went through my mind last night. An old memory, that was actually resurrected by another incident I encountered yesterday while picking my sis Anna up at the college.

I'm getting a great kick out of creating voice blogs. There is nothing like it. I don't know why, but for some reason, I feel like voice blogs are easier to understand. If someone hears the tone in a person's voice then what seems like a hostile or sarcastic post, sounds more like a post that isn't meant to be taken that way. It might help if people could see my face as well, but I don't think anyone is interested in seeing my fat, ugly face on the screen of their computers!! The only thing is I could not post multiple pictures per recording. I thought they had a slideshow feature, but I was wrong. I'm afraid the only way I could get anything similar to that feature is to create it myself on my computer. There's got to be a way! Maybe I'll find it someday.

JD and Jon on 16x9

I don't know this show, but JD did an interview with 16x9. He is still working on his new album, and even looking for members to form a full band with. He can play the guitar very good. Maybe he could be like the lead singer on Green Day, he does both at once. Well, this company also caught up with Jon Farriss and he made a comment about JD's release from the band (I don't like to say termination or firing). Seems all Jon said is JD is an interesting character and cannot wait to see what stories come up next. He said it in a laughing way though. Oh well. JD is still willing to help INXS. But INXS has also said that they will be releasing something big. I cannot wait to see it!! Though I think by now the World already knows what it is. A tribute album to Michael. Which is really cool!!!

I just cannot for the life of me figure out why JD is still listed as INXS's lead singer on the website. Even with the updates and stuff going on. Well, I can say I still love INXS. Even if to them this is all a big put-on. I'll still always love these guys. Every time I see a new article, I just have to let them know that I still support the band. Well, even though this friend who referred to this clip is no longer an INXS fan, I still must say thank you to her for linking to it. I needed to hear something fresh. I notice a lot of her so-called "friends" dumped her when she announced she is not an INXS fan anymore. Some I would fully expect to do that. It happened to me. A lot of people dumped me when I announced I didn't like Kirk anymore. I'm still an INXS fan, just not a Kirk fan. But I figure, if that's the kind of people they are, then no one needs them as a friend! I like this person because she is a sweet person. I never even hinted that the only reason I liked her was because she was an INXS fan. I have friends who are not INXS fans all over the place. Except for her liking Jon and JD, Katrina is not an INXS fan, and she is one of my best friends. But her absolute favorite band is Green Day. I only like Green Day for a couple of their songs. And even one of those I'm not sure I like anymore. LOL! But she finds the lead singer hot, and I don't. I'm afraid as far as rock n roll icons go, I only have eyes and ears for Timmy.

Anyway, here is the article:

Cute Bums

I'm a bit bored today, so I am writing about the first thing that pops into my mind. Cute male behinds. As anyone can tell, I'm a butt-woman. I love a man with full buns! My attraction to Tim Farriss should give that away, the man has the best buns I've ever seen in a caucasian man.





There is a reason I always use this pic, I love it!! It shows off Timmy's buns very well. This was from the video that made me a Timmy fan in the first place. Personally, I vote Tim has the best buns of any man. But there are other men who have buns just as fine. Here I wanted to give each of them a little bit of credit.





Here's a rather cute young man, Milo Ventimiglia, he appeared on Gilmore Girls. He doesn't really look like much above. But I guess that's just me. He's got a nice face though, but check out this pic below:





I wouldn't mind being in the same pool with this guy. As long as I wasn't in a bikini. I'd want to be friendly with him, not scare or disgust him!! I'm secure with my figure, but not that secure! LOL! But this guy's got nothing to worry about his buns are not half bad at all!


Well, here's another, a man whose name is Stephano. Good looking guy. At least bum-wise he's not bad.



Picture removed

Here he did some model work for Jockstrap Central. He has a nice full set of buns! These people though are just a bit too young for me. I prefer men a little more my own age. I don't know, I have this thing against falling in love with men younger than me. That's my thing. But there's nothing that says I cannot say someone looks good.


Anyway, here's another candidate.





This is Matthew McConaughey. He did a performance on King of the Hill. But he is probably better known for his movies. He did quite a few in the 90s. He did a part in Glory Daze and Larger Than Life. Anyway, he's got good buns. His are so good, you can see them real good through those shorts!!

Now a little something for the men looking at this:

Picture Removed


This is a young model I think her name is Milani Rose. Anyway, that's her autograph up above there. But I think any guy would look at that and say she's got a cute bum. Personally, I don't slide on that side of the fence. But I didn't want to leave the men reading this hanging.


Now back to tantilizing myself, and other women:

Picture Removed


I don't know this guy's name, but his buns are simply delicious!!! And speaking of buns, want to see the most useless earrings on the planet?


Picture Removed. Who wants to see an ugly cat's ass anyways!


Ta-da!! Check out these "cat-butt" earrings. The stupidest earrings ever. As if feline butts were something to write home about. UGH!! I always said if I were an animal, I'd make a great feline, because I have the weakest, ugliest butt of any human!! That and the fact I'm just plain lazy! Just like a common cat, I have no buns either. In fact, I envy people who do. Anna does, she has a major set of buns!! And I'm jealous of her because of it. Oddly enough, she envies me because I don't have them. So I wish there was a way to switch bodies, but there just isn't. I often wonder if cats or panthers look at animals like these:





and wish they had that. Not that I slide on that side of the fence either! But you know what, if you google cute butts, there will be pics like this all over the place. Some people actually see that when they look at some animals. I guess if you were going to say an animal has really cute bums, zebras would be a good choice. But for me, nothing shouts "cute butt" more than Tim Farriss showing off. You go get um baby!!!

Writer Or Not?

I don't know what is with some people. I remember some time ago when I started up my UMG space on MySpace, one of the first bulletins I got was someone who was saying that big name writers think people who choose to self-publish are not as good as they are. I told her I used to encounter that same attitude all the time with dog show people. For some reason, people are like that. Things like that lead to stress in a person's life, and that's why I do not go into chat rooms, forums and e-mail groups anymore. I don't need to hang out with people like that just to feel validated as a good breeder. Of course I don't breed anymore, not since Groucho died. But if I did, I still would say the same thing. I prefer to self-publish because I do not like the big-name publisher standards. I have my own way of writing, and thus my own method of publishing. If a publisher accepts my work the way it is, then fine. I'll accept their offer to publish my book. But I don't need them to make me feel validated as an author. These days, anyone can publish a book. I just wish they had self-publishing companies like Lulu when I was a teenager!

It seems to be more about acceptance and snobbiness than anything else. I don't publish my books for those reasons at all. I publish them because I want to get them out into the World. Not for ignorant reasons, but just because people I grew up with (friends or not) all enjoyed my stories, so I think the World should relish in them as well. Believe me, not everyone who liked my stories were my friends!! Even people who were my complete enemies enjoyed them. That's how good they were. And that's being honest. Don't think that it was just friends and family that enjoyed them and I am going by that. That wouldn't really be fair. Friends and family is going to tell a person anything just to be nice. Nevermind that constructive criticism is needed. That's why I most often listened to people who are unbiased when they critique my stories. If I'd had kids, I would have kept my stories here in the family. But since I never did have children, the only thing to do is get these books out into the World.

Well, I was told I need some kind of search engine optimization for my site, because it is not showing up in search engines at all. I thought that by having the listing here on my blog that it would help, and talk about the stories. But it doesn't seem to be working. I just completed scanning and layout of several more stories as well. I want to get them onto the site. I need more cover designs and that is not my department. That's Cathy's doings! She's not like me though, she doesn't work fast because she has 3 kids and a husband she juggles with every day life. Then I still need ISBN numbers!! I haven't got those yet! LOL! Not having any is almost the biggest embarrassment here. But I never needed any until now. I never thought I would be getting these stories out to the World like I'm doing now. I've hit my peak in this venture. Most of the stories coming out now are my own. Between 1997 and 2000, I was having ideas flowing from my mind like water!! I even made my own version of a tribute to Mount St. Helens. Several times over. I'm going to be censoring a little on that story, but Anna surely wants me to put it out. I even made a story about the future of Mount St. Helens. Usually when I wrote a story about Mount St. Helens, I always made sure it was completed before May 18 of any given year. It's a thing that is sort of in my veins. If I start a story about the mountain, it has to be done by the 18th of May. And I have faithfully kept up that tradition. I have several stories about the mountain. One of my favorites (and probably the most heart-warming) is about a chakawati lemur (listed on my Metazoic site as Dyscampturus) mama and cub who live near the mountain in the year 2180--200 years after the 1980 eruption. Yeah, I know that is too soon for an animal that I portray as being After Man, but it helps to have humans in the story as well. For rehabilitation purposes. Well, mama is taken by the eruption and the cub survives and is taken for rehabilitation to a wildlife center. There he meets another young cub, a girl. She's kindof a bully, and she laughs at him because he has his hands and feet all bandaged up. I have an idea for an advertisement film for this story, and I am going to try my luck with a little Hollywood-style animation. It's going to be the best advertisement film I ever made.

I Think Danny Will Win

It's either going to be Danny or Andrea now. I was leaning toward Ben, but I think I would more like to see Danny among the 2 finalists. Carol was eliminated tonight. I knew she was going to be because her performance tonight was pissy. I could tell she really gave up. I'm kinda glad that Carol is gone, she was almost as big a wimp as Lacey. Almost, but not quite. She just gives up too easily and she wasn't the best team-player.

Well, I don't want to give the ending away, I don't know it anyway. Chef Ramsay may decide to can both Danny and Andrea. It's his choice, he knows what he's doing. But those two are who I am leaning towards now. Both are good and have talent. If Gi was still there, I'd have said she would have won for sure. She was good too. Too bad she got hurt in the second episode. I could not believe it that Chef Ramsay actually told a customer in his restaurant that she looks more like a dog than he does!! Oh my GOD!!! I was almost floored when he said that! He could get sued for saying something like that to a customer. Talking to his chefs is one thing, but talking that way to a customer could get him in trouble!! Personally, I would have just laughed at him if he said that to me. I like dogs. Though not all of them are as cute as chihuahuas are.

Well, I just heard about someone killing animals in Point Defiance Park! 2 raccoons and a fox were killed this week. Poor things. I like foxes and raccoons too! Why couldn't that person have killed a bobcat? I hate those things!!! Or a cougar? I hate those too! Why target the country's most endearing animals for killing? People like that make me sick!!

The Killers and INXS

Well, I heard the latest news about INXS, and apparently the Killers are helping them record their latest album. That's pretty darn cool!!! The new album is going to be a tribute to Michael. What I heard is they are going to be doing a bunch of songs from their back catalogue with the Killers. I can't wait to hear it!! I bet it's going to be awesome!!

I am still loyal to these guys. Always will be. Call me crazy if you want to, but I will always love Tim, Jon, Andrew, Garry and yes, even JD. I haven't forgotten about him. I'm just saddened by the fact that there seems to be no reconciliation on the battle between INXS and JD. But it's their business I guess. I'm just a mere fan, I cannot tell them what to do or what to think. I can only speak from a mere fan's point of view.

Anyway, here is the article:
http://www.dailystar.co.uk/playlist/view/75102/Killers-set-for-a-good-Hyding/

In other news, Married With Children was taken off the Spike channel!! So is this how that channel works? They play a series until it runs out of episodes then take it off and put that darned CSI show on instead?? That really SUCKS!!!! That series is beginning to get on my f***ing nerves!!!! That channel put that show on when they cut out Unsolved Mysteries, and they are playing that now instead of Married With Children!! Makes me so MAD!!! What is with the people who run that station?? They must have a fetish for CSI or something!! But I hate it! It SUCKS!!!!! And it pisses me off even more now that I can no longer watch Unsolved Mysteries and Married With Children! My ma used to ask "Why do they always take off the good shows and put on the shitty ones?" Such a question applies here as well!!

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.
