Well, in this video I discuss what came to my mind. The night before I had been looking in on some chihuahua breeder sites, and that was the thing stuck in my mind. There are still some breeders I respect and like. But one person who came to mind when I recorded this was one breeder that was nothing but a big pain in the butt. For some reason, she was instantly obsessed with me. Maybe it was the "lone duck" appeal JD spoke of on Rockstar: INXS. But she was the reason I have very little respect for show breeders. She was the first reason anyway.

People expect everyone to treat show breeders like they are some kind of great deities or something! I won't! Where I am concerned, you have to give respect to get it. That is something I don't just give someone. There is a long story to that, but anyway, that's the way I've always been. I want to make one thing clear, I think of everyone as just people, because that is what they were before they were whatever they are now. The show breeders I like are people who treat everyone (including all newbies) as an equal. I don't like the overbearing ones, or the ones who think they are better than anyone else. And I don't believe a newbie should have to deal with show breeders who taunt, tease or snicker at other people behind their backs (or in PMs if they happen to be on the internet). Those are the show breeders I have zero respect for. I won't even pretend to respect them! And they are more numerous than you'd think. I used to see them all the time in the Pluba forum. They know who they are, I don't have to mention names. I also believe in karma. I've seen it happen all the time.

I Knew Danny Would Win!

There was no reason Danny shouldn't have won this season's Hell's Kitchen, he was good, one of the better cooks. Toward the middle of the series, I started thinking that the 2 finalists would be Ben and Andrea, then I saw the improvment in Danny's performance. I knew then that he was going to be this year's winner. After he won, he was wishing his mom could be there to cheer him on. I say his mom is now in Heaven looking down on him and smiling. I believe our loved ones can really see us from above, even though we think they are totally gone. I still believe my grandma can look down and see my progress and is smiling on me.

It was interesting that Chef Ramsay brought back some of the old contestants, I was shocked to see Lacey there!! I was like, why did he bring her back? To sabotage the chef who gets her? I was thinking the whole time she was going to drop the pans and retreat to her bed, like she always does! Surprisingly, VERY surprisingly, she didn't. But I think she came awfully close to doing just that! She hadn't changed at all, she's still a whiny-ass little bitch. She kept saying she's not a bitch, that she is a nice person. I kept saying "Well, if that's true, PROVE the others wrong!!" But she did stick to her post. I'm glad. But Danny won! I knew he would.

Well, Danny's win was a bittersweet moment. The sad thing now is I no longer have Hell's Kitchen to look foreward to on Thursday nights. Without it, there is now only TruTV goodies on. But heck, they're funny! They consist of Speeders, and Smoking Gun. Now, I cannot wait until next year, when Hell's Kitchen goes at it again. This is actually the second time I knew who was going to win Hell's Kitchen before they won. I knew who was going to win last season too. Roc was a darn good cook, and like me, paid attention to details. I pay much more attention to details now than I did a couple of years ago. But I think I am wearing down. Time to break in the Ginkoba again!! LOL! Hey man! That stuff really works!!

New Stories Posted

I have some new stories posted, I finally got the cover designs today. Cathy kinda works on them in bits and pieces. She's still hard at work on some more, so I should be putting more up soon. Anyway, here are the stories posted just today:

Vacation Time! (With The Gang)

Jasper lends the gang his yacht for the weekend, and Mr. Blackwood becomes the weekend captain. They head off thinking they are going to have some fun sailing on the ocean. But because of Captain Blackwood's lack of skills, and the fact that Tim and Todd cannot stop fighting, everything turns to chaos! Then the final straw that ends their weekend abruptly, when the ship comes across a sea monster! Find out what happens between the ship vs. the sea monster.

The Wedding

This story is one that I based on my own relationship in 1997. Candi is set to marry her long-time boyfriend Leopold. They meet at a cafe in the beginning, happy that their marriage is to take place the next day. All goes well until Leopold drops a bomb, and informs Candi that he is still seeing his old girlfriend, Stacy. Devastated, Candi runs away, and angrily confronts Stacy. Find out if their marriage is still on and what happens between them.

At The Hospital

This is the story of Caroline, a silly lemur, who Bandit fears has been getting more than her share of colds and sniffles, so she has to have her tonsils taken out. But Caroline values her tonsils and does not want to have them removed. This leads to turmoil at the hospital, when Caroline tries anything she can to get away. This story has a surprise ending. Check it out!!

Click any of the titles to view their pages, and purchase if you want.

In other news, I was reading an article that Jon Stevens said that INXS was boring. I don't give a shit what Jon Stevens said!! I hate that guy!! I never liked him. He's not even as good-looking as he thought he was. Even Kirk was better looking than Jon Stevens was. Shoot, even I'm better looking than Jon Stevens!! LOL!! Jon Stevens did succeed in breaking the monotony of the band, being the ugliest person that was ever in the band. If he is saying this shit about my favorite men, he deserves to be kicked out of the band! And he deserves all the bad-mouthing he gets for saying this shit! I'll still stand by my favorite men, nothing can break me away. I notice INXS is getting a lot of bad press. I hope they hang in there, it's all bound to end soon and they can get on with their new album. I hope!! Lots of people miss them, not just me. With my luck though they probably will not come back to this part of the country again, and I'll have to go to some place like NY or something like that. And I hate NY!!!!! LOL!

Well, keep praying, and fingers crossed that they do make it here. It'd be awesome if they came and performed here in this town. Then I wouldn't even need a hotel room! Just stay here. hehe! And invite them to park their motorhomes in my cul-de-sac for the night. hehe!

Groucho's Day

http://www.umgproductions.com/2013/06/timmyfans-pillow-talk-family-and.html




Well, it is Groucho's Day. A day I set aside to celebrate the life of my beautiful Groucho. I still miss her so much!! I think next year, I am going to do something a little bit different. I always use the song "Wish You Were Here" sung by Marty Casey. I think next year I'll use INXS's own "By My Side", which basically means the same thing. It's a beautiful song, and also describes my feelings about Groucho, because she was always by my side when I needed her the most. That is what I miss about her. Vegas is a little more independant. He's by my side when he wants to be. LOL!


I remember a lot of things happened after my Groucho passed. One good thing that happened is that it encouraged me to begin a makeshift "Tim Farriss appreciation society". What I call my Timmy-Love Space. There is a reason for that too. After I lost my Groucho, as is so typical when I am feeling bad, I watched my INXS videos and played a lot of their music, and once again, it was Tim who made me feel good again. That's why I love that man so much!! I know Tim could not have any knowledge of how good he made me feel. But the important thing is I did. He put a smile on my face when I needed it most. Usually, that was Groucho's job. But for a while after she passed, to think of her was a sore spot for me. It was a deep void that only Timmy could fill at that time. Since I didn't have my Grouch, the one person who could make me laugh and smile again was Tim Farriss. And I knew it. That is why I am grateful for all my INXS videos I have. And grateful that Tim is still Tim and o-so funny and cute!


I'm not saying Tim was my ultimate replacement for Groucho. I mean, no one could replace Groucho. No one will ever take her place in my heart and soul. Just won't happen.


You know there aren't many breeders anymore. I was thumbing through the internet and I found some old sites I used to look into regularly, usually just for the Hell of it. Some of the more knowledgable sites devoted to chihuahuas are Tanya's Toys and Kandee's Chihuahuas. I found something interesting on Tanya's site, she says the merle chihuahuas are in fact not accepted by the CCA, but that they just decided not to alter the standard not to include them. Well, I hate to argue with her but there are merles now winning in the ring. I would never breed for merles, as I think something like that is better left to those who know the ins and outs better, but I have seen some nice merles out there. Some of the nicest-looking merle chihuahuas I've ever seen were bred by Sunset Kennels. I recently saw their ad in Dogs USA. When I read through it, I saw where she wrote "Looking for a Taco Bell lookalike? You won't find it here!" I thought "She ripped off my line!!" LOL! That line has been on my site since the beginning (2002). But you know what? I don't even care. First of all, I'm not breeding anymore so that line doesn't matter on my site anymore. Second, at least that breeder is doing good by the breed. She has some nice dogs. Even merles, like I said before. I'd rather someone who is doing good by the breed steal my words than someone who would not do good by the breed and just use those words to make false promises to their clients.


I know I bad-mouth show breeders a lot! That's not news! It almost would seem hypocritical of me to say that they do well by their dogs. But I have never denied they do good by their dogs! I've never denied that if a person is going to buy a dog, buy from a good breeder (IF you can get past their unpredictable attitudes). It's not their canine skills I question, it's their people skills. But some things are totally undeniable! If you love purebreeds, but don't want to deal with the health problems most of them seem to be infamous for, buy from a reputable breeder. I wasn't a show breeder, but I was reputable. I had a lifetime guarantee with my dogs that even now, I still hold up to. I do not breed anymore so I cannot offer anyone a replacement, but I am always willing to buy back any unwanted dogs bred by me. No matter what age they are. That way, the previous owner could use the money to buy another dog from another breeder.

Voice and Video Blog: How I Became Me

http://www.umgproductions.com/2013/06/timmyfans-pillow-talk-family-and.html

I always wanted to tell the story of how I became who I am in a voice and video blog. Cool! I wasn't always the outspoken liberal I am now. I used to be very mellow, way back when social networks were still a very new thing. Then I discovered pet forums, and they changed me forever. Mostly in a way that most people don't like or cannot handle. Here I tell the story in a somewhat humorous way. Anyway, it looks funnier with pictures and recordings.

Groucho's Day is coming up. It's a family day, and that is the day I celebrate Groucho's life. This time, I did it with another voice and video blog. I am currently working on it. I do hope Marty Casey doesn't mind that I used his song again. The same song I dedicate to her every year. It describes so well how I feel, and how I've been since I lost her. This time, I added pics of my baby to the song. I felt it was only appropriate. Besides, I love how he sang it. I think it sounds better than the original version!!

What the????

OK, I started reading this article, and it looks like the regular Supreme Court Justice David Souter is retiring, and Obama wants to appoint a new Supreme Court Judge. Normally I would be like OK, it's his own business if he wants to appoint a new judge for the US Supreme Court. What stood out the most was this statement:

Souter's retirement after almost two decades of unpredictable decisions gives Obama an early chance to place his stamp on the nine-member high court, possibly by naming a minority — a second black or the court's first Hispanic — or a second woman, as well as to affirm if not strengthen its support for abortion rights.

OK, a couple of things fly out at you immediately. First let me say I admire Obama's stand on wanting to be different, and break the monotony by hiring a black or Hispanic judge to take his place. But what the Hell has race got to do with being a good judge??? Don't get me wrong! I'm a hispanic myself and I root for them all the way. If this is the first time one would be appointed to the position of Supreme Court judge, I'm all for it! But why the heck is Obama making such a big howdy-doo about the nationality of his choice for the next SC judge?? And why is this article going along with it??

Another thing that flies out is the fact that Obama thinks that just because this is a woman that she will affirm support for abortion rights. What's up with that??? Maybe I read it wrong, and if I did, someone please correct me, but that's what I got out of that last sentence. How many women are actually going to support abortions? I'm a woman and I don't even want any kids, but I would never get an abortion. Not unless my life was in danger from the pregnancy. Otherwise, I'd have the kid and put it up for adoption if it happened to me and I don't want kids. Let someone who cannot have kids enjoy the one I brought into the World. Maybe they could give the child a better life than I could.

Anyway, here is the article:

Swine Flu Alert!!!

As most of you have probably read the swine flu is spreading to this country. It has worked it's curse throughout Mexico, and now has spread to this country. It's really scary! And a few years ago we all thought the avian flu would be the scurge of this country! Well, turns out we were wrong. If you've ever thought about getting a flu shot, now would be the time to get one. I just hope that there is no pandemic as is being predicted. But this is really scary!! I'm staying here, in my little corner of the country as yet untouched by this menace!

Here's an article I found:

WHO Raises Swine Flu Alert to Next-Highest Level
Lauran Neergaard, Associated Press

April 29, 2009 -- The Geneva-based World Health Organization on Wednesday raised its alert level for the fast-spreading swine flu to its next-to-highest notch, signaling a global pandemic could be imminent.

The move came after the virus spread to at least 10 U.S. states from coast to coast and swept deeper into Europe.

"It really is all of humanity that is under threat during a pandemic," said WHO Director General Margaret Chan. "We do not have all the answers right now but we will get them."

In the United States, President Barack Obama mourned the first U.S. death, a Mexican toddler who had traveled with his family to Texas. Total American cases surged to nearly 100, and Obama said wider school closings might be necessary.

In Mexico, where the flu is believed to have originated, officials said Wednesday the disease is now confirmed or suspected in 159 deaths, and nearly 2,500 illnesses.

There were no other deaths confirmed from the flu. But health officials in the United States and around the world braced for them.

Dr. Richard Besser, the acting chief of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said in Atlanta there were 91 confirmed cases in ten states, with 51 in New York, 16 in Texas and 14 in California. Two cases have been confirmed in Kansas, Massachusetts and Michigan, while single cases have been reported in Arizona, Indiana, Nevada and Ohio.

State officials in Maine said laboratory tests had confirmed three cases in that state, although those had not yet been included in the CDC count. And the Pentagon said that a Marine in southern California had tested positive for the disease.

WHO has confirmed human cases of swine flu in Mexico, the United States, Canada, Britain, Israel, New Zealand and Spain.

Germany and Austria became the latest countries to report infections. Germany reported four cases on Wednesday, Austria one.

In Washington, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano was questioned closely by senators about whether the U.S. should close its border with Mexico, where the outbreak apparently began and the casualties have been the greatest. She repeated the administration's position that questioning of people at borders and ports of entry was sufficient for now and said closing borders "has not been merited by the facts."

The WHO said the phase 5 alert means there is sustained human to human spread in at least two countries. It also signals that efforts to produce a vaccine will be ramped up.

Just Monday, the WHO had raised the alert level from 3 to 4. The organization is part of the United Nations.

Asked for advice for ordinary citizens, Chan, the WHO chief, said: "Continue with your business but try to pay special attention to personal hygiene."

Dr. Keiji Fukuda, WHO's top flu expert, said vigilance was all important because it was not known how severe the outbreaks would become.

Message To Viewers

http://www.umgproductions.com/2013/06/timmyfans-pillow-talk-inxs-video.html

Here I just talk in a detailed way about what has been going down on here the past couple of days. This same thing happened last year, and I went for it then. This is mostly for the person who commented on my INXS All Over Again blog. Now, if I am wrong, don't take this personally, but the thing is this same thing happened last year, and it turned out to be an imposter. I want nothing more than to believe this time it's the real thing, but I just cannot. But on here, I explain how it can be proven. It's not an all too tough request, I mean, I know KP has a MySpace, as I do. I also know he writes to some of the fans, so it wouldn't be too hard for him to write to me just this once. IF that was him. And I hope he understands I know that's a BIG "if", but after what happened last year I just want to be sure.

It's not that I don't want to forgive Kirk, I would love to and put all the old feelings behind me. But this happened last year too, and sure I felt good for one day. Then I found out it wasn't him and my feelings were back to square one. I don't want that to happen again. I didn't blame Kirk for what happened, but strangers put celeb names in their signature all the time. I hope he and everyone understands that I am not trying to be mean or act stuck-up nor nothing. That's not me. I'm not asking him to turn night into day to show me that was really him nor nothing either. Just shoot me a simple little message on MySpace. But just in case it is him, I said a little message for my one favorite band member of all as well on here. hehe!

Well, I want to be forgiving, but I don't want what happened last year to happen again. So, until I hear from him on MySpace, I am not going to say anything further about this. (Damn fans!!! Sometimes I can understand why Catsredrum didn't like the fans! Just that she chose the wrong one to make fun of). When I first saw those comments, I wanted to write something to the practical jokers on the Rockband forum. It wasn't going to be pretty! But then I thought about Kirk and my favorite men of INXS, and again thought "Well, what if this really is him?" Again, part of me said yes and part of me said no. So I just didn't say anything at all. Aside from approving the comment, as I always do, I didn't even want to let on that I acknowledged them. But here I describe how it can be proven. Just write me on MySpace and say hey, that was me. Nothing fancy, don't have to go into details nor nothing. As soon as I hear from whoever this was, I'll accept his apology, and if he wants I will also make a public apology of my own to Kirk for the things I said about him.

I've Got A Gun!!

LOL!! Nah, just joshin' there. Actually I do have one, it was an old squirrel-hunting rifle I inherited from my grandpa, but it's so old, you can't get ammo for it anymore. I just keep it cuz it's an antique. And I need to learn when to keep my @#$& mouth SHUT!!!! LOL! Anyway, the reason I'm calling this blog this is because I was watching The Smoking Gun on TruTV. One of my favorite stations! There was a segment where a woman came into a convenience store and said to the male clerk "I've got a gun, gimme all your money!" The male clerk kept asking her to show it to him and she kept saying "it's in my pocket." But never showed it to him. The clerk didn't believe her, and he walked off. A female clerk approaches her and says "Can I help you?" The woman says "Yeah, I told him I've got a gun and he won't believe me." The female clerk also asked the woman to show it to her, and again the woman said "It's in my pocket." But she would not take it out. I think by now it'd be pretty obvious this woman doesn't have one at all. She knew the clerks didn't believe her so she just walked out of the store, frustrated. LOL!!!

That is what I love about these shows, they are too funny, and shows the stupidity a lot of criminals display. There was one guy some time ago on that program who was trying to hold up a puppy store with a toy gun. When the clerks would not be fooled by his prank, and became too much for him (by locking him inside the store until the police showed up) the would-be robber got scared and begged them to let him out. They wouldn't though. They held him there until the police came and arrested him. That's probably one of the all-time stupidest criminals I've ever seen. The funniest segment was actually not on Smoking Gun, but another show called Most Daring. This segment had me laughing hard all night long. I wish I had recorded it on tape!! Some young man was trying to break into a liquor store at night. First he tried to leap for the window to get in, and kept falling on his ass. Then when he finally did reach the window, he was walking through the ceiling, and you could see shingles falling to the floor, one at a time, then finally a big piece of the roof fell into the store, with this young man along with it. LOL! Then he grabs a cart and pushes it through the store and grabs liquor left and right. Then he tries to get out through the front door and finds that he can't. That's when he picks up the cart and tries to break the glass doors. LOL! They're plexiglass man!!! Finally the cops release him and get him out of the store and haul his clumsy ass to jail! LOL!!

That was probably the funniest segment, without using too much commentary, I've ever seen on any police documentary show. Got me and my sis laughing for several hours afterwords. I just wish I had recorded it because I haven't seen that clip since then in it's entirety.

Anyway, I went on to watch Operation Repo, looks like Matt has his fire back. I'm glad to see that. Boy! That realtor was nasty!!! Tried to rip off Sonia's dress and all!! LOL! Matt I think was a little in love with her though. LOL! He was saying he wanted to get her phone # off the paperwork and call her because he believes they have a lot in common. hehe! That would have been sweet, but since he was with the gang that repo'd her car, she'd have probably been like "Sorry man, you ain't my type!" hehe! Leastwise not unless he'd have brought her car back.

INXS All Over Again

http://www.umgproductions.com/2013/06/timmyfans-pillow-talk-inxs-video.html

Well, here's another video to kinda touch up on the last one I did about INXS. Basically here I talk about my meetings with these guys. For the most part I loved them, all but one. Now, this one forum I am a silent member of is doing interviews with that one band member I don't care for. Well, they I hope have fun, but I describe on here how I will just be sitting this one out. Sorry people. I sure do hope Tim is doing well though. I really do love that guy.

I Hope This is a Joke!!





I heard about this yesterday, and I don't know about the authenticity of this, it almost sounds too stupid to be real. I don't want to think the man who is now our country's president is this dumb! Or if so, I hope he thinks about this before he does it. Both Anna and I had something to say on this matter. She does part of the story, she is an expert in volcanoes. So she gives her opinion. But honestly, I think this is a bunk story. But here I give my thoughts on this, just in case it is so, and Obama wants to try something like this. Not the best idea!!


I have friends who support Obama, so I am not referring to them in this speech of mine. Mostly I am referring to those who thought the reason I don't like Obama has something to do with being racist. Nope, it was reasons such as the one I am discussing here. This is a doomsday in the visionary stage. I just hope it is a joke. I cannot really see it being anything else if this guy is as smart as he has led everyone else to believe. I still don't like McCain any better!! But I wonder what he would have done in this situation.


GOD help us now!!!


In other news, the Hutch's Strangest Party forum is having their questions answered by Kirk. I am a silent member of that forum, but I think I will sit this one out. If it were Tim, I wouldn't hesitate to submit something, but Kirk? No. For Tim I would even get out of my anonymous outfit on that forum, and just say hey. I miss him so much!!! But Kirk, I don't even like him. I'd never say hi to him. Not ever again. But for those who want to submit, I say go and have fun. I don't go in that forum much myself, and a couple of weeks ago, I got a message saying that they were going to start deleting members who have not yet posted. I say OK. Sorry, but I am not the biggest Hutch fan. I don't see Michael like I do Kirk, but Tim is just my main INXS man. I'm afraid that through the years, my eyes only see him.

What Happened to Matt?

I think Matt, on Operation Repo, has lost a lot of his spunk. I saw tonight's new episode, and I was a little bit disappointed. This is like the third time he's been floored. I'm wondering, is he losing his fire? I hope not, but ever since that one episode where he wrecked that car, he's been in a daze or something, I don't know. He mentioned in an interview that he's mellowed out since that incident because he didn't want to do anything to lose his job again. I can't say I blame him! I'm just sorry to see him lose so much of his fire.


Well, I've been having a lot of fun working on my voice and video blogs, hope my readers have been enjoying them. I also posted up a voice blog on the side of this page that I also keep at Snapvine. Now that is fun! I have more fun with these voice blogs than I have with these long, drawn-out typed blogs. Somehow the words sound different spoken rather than written. When words are written, people seem to take them the wrong way. I am currently working on a voice and video blog about PETA. I hate PETA. Few things in this world irritate me more than a stupid PETA jerk getting in my face because I refuse to stop eating meat. That's none of their business anyway! So far, no one has been able to convince me that I shouldn't have meat on my plate, and I cannot think of enough veggies I like to make a whole meal out of. Believe me, I tried. I tried going vegan once, I gave up my regular diet to feed on nothing but the veggies I like, like corn, peas, carrots, some lettuce, some cauliflower, celery, potatoes and that kind of stuff. I supplemented with fruits, like grapes, apples, bananas, and that kind of stuff. Then eating nuts for the protein. Believe me, I could not switch!! By the middle of the week I was screaming uncle for some meat!!! I like my veggies, but only as a side-dish. I love my nuts, but only occasionally, and usually in something like chocolate, cookies or brownies. I like my fruits, but only if there's nothing chocolatey around. And I found out that week, that maybe some weak-asses can live without meat, but I am not one of those weak-asses!! I must have meat!! Even just a little bit would satisfy me for the day. I favor chicken most, but beef is a second fave. So is turkey, lamb and some kinds of fish. Not all kinds of fish though, I can get along great without eating swordfish, sturgeon or shark. I mostly like tuna and salmon.

Fish is probably my last favorite when it comes to meat, and I've never tried goat or rabbit. Though I've heard rabbit tastes like chicken, I just never tried it. All I could think of was Shaggy, who was my only pet as a child. He was my first pet rabbit. I've had a couple more since then, but eating rabbit just never crossed my mind.

Voice And Video Blog: Remembering INXS, the Way They Were

http://www.umgproductions.com/2013/06/timmyfans-pillow-talk-inxs-video.html



This is a rather long video I made a lot like the last one I made about our trip to Astoria. I did the same thing I did with that one, I used a lot of images from Google Images, and some from my very own collection of INXS pics. I decided to tell the whole story here in a cute way of how I got into INXS. Maybe telling it this way will help everyone understand. Who knows? This is a long one, over 20 minutes. I don't dare put it on YouTube!! I'm working on a couple more now. I'm steadily working on one that describes another hobby I want to get into. It'll make, what? About my 10th hobby! LOL! I pack them in, you can bet I don't get bored on weekends, except when I'm trying to find something on television!! LOL! I just wish Anna would find other hobbies, she continuously pesters me to do something with her, and I'm always busy doing something else, I can't!! Doing these skits is FUN!!! I try to make each one different. Providing that I can find different graphics on Google Images. You'd be very surprised what kind of images you can find by just googling certain key words! I found images of things I never thought I would find!! Like single images of letters and numbers. It gives me a cute idea of how to put a new twist on an old classic! I'll do that sometime down the road, but I am really into this voice and video blog thing. This particular movie took me 2 days to make. It wouldn't have taken so long except yesterday I had to do something important, so I had to take a break for a few hours to do it. But by about 10:00 last night, I finally finished this.

I don't know how INXS would feel about this, but unless they tell me they don't like it, who cares? It was fun to do anyway. I'm constantly thinking up new stories to tell, and new ways to present them image-wise. My main goal is to be either one of 2 things: funny or accurately descriptive. That's the whole point. I like being just a little bit corny, that's what makes each of these films funny. You might say I have become the reincarnation of Tex Avery, who was a comical genius. It was him who made some of the funniest cartoons of all time back in the 40s. When cartoons were truly GOOD!!! Not like the crap that is around today. To make this funnier, I even made fun of myself and all my "umms" LOL!! I say too many of them I think. I need to cool down on those. Or I need to do more yawning. You know yawning actually is done to refresh our brain? It's true. Discovery News did something on that a couple of months ago.

Well, in other news, I got my little MP3 player back! I sent my old one to Creative Labs, and they sent me an all new one. I'm glad, I missed it!! It finally gave out, I knew it was too good to last, so they sent me an all new and improved player. The one company I am mad at is JazzCameras!! They have NO contact info whatsoever!! I bought a video camera put out by their company for Katrina, my best friend. She said it stopped working. So I took it back to the store I got it from, and got my money back. I gave it to Katrina so she could get another camera or whatever with it. I felt so bad! I looked on Jazz's website, and there is NO contact info at all! No e-mail address, no contact form, no phone number, not even an address to where the company is located so I could write to them. The website is nothing more than a showcase for their products. You can't even order a product on their site. There isn't even a feedback form on their site. There is NO WAY to contact Jazz Cameras! So I said that I am NEVER getting anything from that company again!! I'm avoiding them like the plague next time. Anytime you see a company that you just cannot contact, it should raise a red flag. That video camera was faulty, and it did not say that it was created for one-time use. Believe me if it was, I would never have consented to pay as much as I did for that camera!!! Katrina said she was only able to use it one time, and she could never use it again after that! It would not even recharge again, and it was brand new!! I got it for her for her birthday which was last December.

Voice And Video Blog: Trip to Astoria

http://www.umgproductions.com/2013/06/timmyfans-pillow-talk-family-and.html

Well, last Friday me, my sis Anna and my ma went on a trip to Astoria to do some shopping, as we typically do when we want to purchase rather large, expensive items. With the exception of furniture. I made a voice blog about the trip. But this time, I decided to try and do something a little bit different. This is a voice blog that I kinda turned into a skit, with some video to it as well. I always knew I could do good doing movies and stuff. This came out funny as heck!! The pictures do not really move, but just them being there makes it funny! I found all the pics through Google Images, and I found enough of them to make this a very funny clip. The story it's self is not really funny when you hear it, but the way I put the pictures in the movie to what I was saying makes it phenominally funny!
My ma said I should put it on YouTube. Maybe I will. It's funny enough everyone who sees it may like it. Who knows? I was working on it most of the night last night. I had to search Google for all the pics, and then I wanted to pick out the funniest pictures about each thing I wanted to illustrate. It made this movie unbelievably funny. But this is how I make a voice and video blog. I wanted it to be just a little bit corny, as everyone knows I'm always a little bit corny on here, or any of my blogs!! But it's enough to make a person laugh, either with me or at me, I don't care. Funny is funny! But this movie depicts a little bit of how I think people see my blogs.
Now, I am not the best narrorator. In fact I sound retarded!! But it's my story so, I thought I should tell it. I don't have the clearest voice, and in fact when I recorded this yesterday, I even had a bit of a cold. So, sorry if it's not loud enough, or my voice sounds echoey and far off. Anna said she wants to do something like this about her trip to Bozeman. I said sure, if she can record the story, I'll find some good pics to illustrate it with. I've always wanted to do something like this! Now, I am so glad that I have finally. I'm just sitting here thinking about what else I can do a voice and video blog about. I want to get a whole collection of them, put them on a DVD disk and pass them around. I've got a very good, funny mind, I know once people start playing them, they'll love them! It's one thing to just hear them, it's very different when they have pictures attached to them. Maybe I can talk about my experiences with chihuahuas, or maybe my up and coming venture, or maybe my trips across country to see INXS. The first time I've ever been to that part of the country, it'd be worth writing about!
