Worst People on YouTube

One thing I've noticed that besides the usual trolls that just happen to pop up everywhere, the rudest people on YouTube are the self-proclaimed computer geeks whose videos show nothing but their video game playing skills. There was a girl who commented rudely on a video of mine a couple of weeks ago, and she was a self-proclaimed expert at Star Craft, or something like that, I dunno. I don't know the video games these days. She didn't have a single video about anything else except to show off her game playing skills with this video game. Ya know I never saw the point in posting videos of yourself playing video games? Aren't there other websites for that kind of BS? I mean I think posting yourself playing a video game on YouTube is pointless and stupid.

Perhaps this proves I was right about why today's kids are much more rude and obnoxious than I ever remember them being before. I blame it on video games and anime cartoons. We had those when I was a kid, and yes we did have our share of rude children. But they seem to be much worse today than they were back then. I couldn't be rude to anyone because if my ma ever caught me saying the kind of things I've seen today's children say to adults on the internet, she would have slapped me shitless!! Even if it was on the internet!! Parents really need to watch their kids, even on the net! And beat the tar out of them when they do something they shouldn't. But now you cannot discipline your kids today because of Bill Clinton. It was all his idea to make it illegal to touch your own kids! Pretty soon, a parent won't be able to hug their own children without the threat of being thrown in jail! I know nowadays a teacher cannot hug a child, even if it is to comfort them. And that's a shame! I can remember an incident where I was running and playing and I slipped and fell, scraped myself really bad. My teacher put her arm around me, gave me some soothing words and it made me feel better. Then she took me inside and bandaged me up and I was right as rain. This was before my transformation. By the time I got into my high school years, I didn't trust anyone and I hated to be touched. I think I should point out though that that was the fault of the other kids, not the teachers. But still. I think this helps point out why kids today are worse than they've ever been before. But I would be willing to bet that the same kids who were really bad back then, were also kids whose lives at home centered around playing video games.

Well, this was just an observation. I'm kinda having second thoughts about putting video games in Metazoica. But there is one I think would be really good and I've been thinking of it since I first got this idea back in 1998.

Who Do You Prefer?

Well, I know we cannot bring Michael back to INXS. Such a crying shame too, because he was out of this world. No pun intended. When I first saw an INXS video, Michael was what caught my attention first and foremost. I've never seen a band like INXS. Almost all the guys are good-looking. Compared to other bands where only one or 2 members are good looking. Usually the front men. But back then, I even thought Kirk was cute. That's not to say all bands are like that. I've seen some bands, like Guns n Roses, where all the band members are ugly. But never have I seen another band where all the band members had equal sexual charisma like INXS does. I'm not normally a celebrity hound, but I always felt a little bit starstruck when I was around INXS. I always wanted to meet these guys. It was a shame I never had a formal meeting with Michael. Just an informal kiss on the face. But when I was growing up, my ma always told me that when celebs meet the fans, they always forget the meeting the next day, or they will act nice to the fan's faces, and turn around behind their back and talk shit about them. I never even thought about meeting INXS when I saw Michael in concert because at 17, I would have been heartbroken if I even dreamed any of these handsome men were like that. Now, I wouldn't care, but as a teenager, you kindof expect your idol to love you as much as you love them. No matter how I was raised.

Well, I thought INXS was dead after Michael died. It was a shame I only got to see them once, I had wished I got to see them more often with Michael leading. But that's what happens when you grow up and have boyfriends of your own. I lost interest in INXS. Between the times of 1991 and 1997 (when Michael died), I had 3 boyfriends. One I almost married, one was an on-and-off kind of relationship. And the last I did marry, and eventually divorced. I'm just not the marrying type. I liked to travel and he couldn't because he would always have to work. Marriage was too confining to me, so I divorced. Simple as that. Well anyway, I had no interest in seeing INXS again after Michael died. Just didn't seem the same to me. I was living in Toutle at the time (near Mount St. Helens), and it was hard enough really getting to the one concert I did manage to make it to. Looking at the listings on inxs.com, I realized I didn't remember if I went to the concert in Seattle or in Portland. It could have been either-or. So I put that I went to both of them! LOL! I don't remember because that was long ago and I didn't do the driving. In fact, I was asleep most of the way back home. It could have been the one in Seattle. I think the one in Portland was cancelled. Not sure.

Well, after Michael was gone, INXS hired this ugly goon named Jon Stevens to do the singing. He has absolutely NONE of the sexual appeal that Michael (or even JD Fortune for that matter) had. On one of the pictures of the guys with him on the site, I wrote "To the ugly SOB on the bottom center (Jon Stevens) Get the F*** out of my way!! You're blocking my view of the Timster!" I absolutely do not like him at all. And it's not because he was taking Michael's place. I just don't like Jon Stevens. Though going back it appears that my comment was deleted. Oh well! They can delete my comments there, but not here. And they cannot stop me from thinking that! I've seen people who think Jon Stevens was better looking than JD and I'm always like "You've got to be kidding me!" Maybe it's just me. I fall in love better with guys who have dark hair. In fact, when Jon F. turned his hair blond back in 1997, it tarnished my image of him for life. LOL! I love Jon F. but that was a big mistake he made. I'm not saying blond people are ugly! I'm just saying I have a tendency to be more attracted to dark-haired men. Sort of ironic the man I married was blond himself! LOL! My sisters think I must have been doped up on meds when I married him. I was taking a sleeping aid at the time, but that was not true!! But it did happen we were only married a couple of years. But his hair color had nothing to do with that.

Well, I didn't like Jon Stevens. I didn't think he was that good of a singer, and he had none of the sexual charisma. I never saw him perform live, but I have seen videos of him. Now, JD was different. But I am not even a huge fan of JD's. But to be realistic, he did have the closest vocals and sexual charisma that Michael had. I mean let's face it. If JD had let his hair grow, he could have almost been Michael. Though I know that's not what he wanted to go for. I like JD. Don't love him like the rest of the band, but I like him. Simply because he was the best match. His vocals matched Michael's IMO. Some don't feel that, but I do. Those that resent JD seem to always be those who say he is trying to become Michael, and I don't believe that is true. Though I always say people have a right to believe what they want. I don't want to take that away from anyone. But I believe it was JD who said he didn't want to become Michael, he just wanted to move foreward with INXS. I also notice people who say they have met and loved Jon Stevens have said that Tim was always drunk when they met him. One person even said he was a complete douche. I was like "wow!" Tim was never like that with me. But everybody's experiences with each of the band members have been different. Kirk was the one I had problems with, but everyone else raves about how he was always so into the fans. I never saw that though.

Now, I've heard the stories about Timmy being drunk at the concerts with Jon Stevens. I don't think that was anything to worry about. I think at that time, he was still trying to come to terms with losing Michael, and maybe drinking was his way of "getting away" from the grief. I was the same way when I lost Groucho. Though I didn't take to drinking. But different people handle grief differently. But I can tell you, I can still be a complete douche myself sometimes. Though I usually like to remain civil and graceful. I mean, why be mean and nasty when you don't have to? So I don't. It helps a lot that I never go into forums. Unless someone has guts enough to say what they have to say on my blog, anything they say about me in the forums just falls on deaf ears :) I have nothing at all to do with the forums, and I don't pay any attention to anyone (except friends) on inxs.com. They have where they show on the homepage members activity, and unless I see something from someone I like, I don't even click on their activity. What those people do is none of my business. I go there to talk INXS with friends, and to support the guys. I don't care about anything or anybody else!

For Those Who Don't Know Yet

I posted this on my Metazoica blog, but I think I'd like to post this here too. Just in case people who read here do not read my Metazoic blog, and want to check out the Metazoica site. This video I created shows you how to view the site. So far, I've only worked on 2 categories (families), and I've just been a bit too busy to work on any more. Today especially was too nice to stay inside and work on the computer, so I used that time to finish my bird cage. Anyway, here is the video:

Update On My Bird Cage

Well it is a sunny day outside, not a single cloud in the sky, and it was rather warm too. The perfect kind of day I figured I could finish putting the poles up on my cage. The cage has been sitting undone for quite a long time. I like to work on these outside, so I've been waiting for a day just like today. I took my unfinished cage outside to drill the frame in, and it looks pretty darn good so far! Took a lot of work to get the screws drilled in place. It's not as easy as it may look! But I've got all 4 poles in place now, all I have to do is order the acrylic sides, and a solid wooden back, make a hood, and I'll be finished. This cage still is not what one would call "professional quality", but it's good enough for me. Since I am the only one really going to be seeing these birds and stuff, the cages do not have to be professional just yet. Though when I get started on the gecko, tree frog and dart frog cages, I'm going to have to be a little more careful. Those cages are going to need constant misting, so I have to build it good enough for that. There can't be any gaps at all, everything has to be measured perfectly down to the last decimal. Partly because I don't need misting getting on the floor and also because these smaller animals are excellent escape-artists.

I also have an acrylic sealant that I used to seal up some of the cracks. This way the birds don't get hurt if they happen to get on the floor level of the cage and their toenail might slip into a crevice or something to that effect. So maybe next month I will be getting some varnish and some paint-on water sealer. Then maybe the month after that I will be ready to get the acrylic siding. We shall see!! I still need to make something in the way of a groove to put the acrylic in so it doesn't slip and the birds don't figure a way to get out.

In other news, my web designer finished the Meet The Mammals section of Metazoica. I invite anyone to check it out. So far, it looks great! Or I think it does. I still have to give the instructions given to me by the person who designed the template to my web designer, and see what he can do with it. He's been very good so far. I really like him. He said that I need to create a more eye-catching site and I totally agree with him! I need to start with the banner and work my way down. I've been thinking of a 3D-movie type banner, with some animals from the site racing across with the word "Metazoica" in the background. That would be very eye-catching!! People love 3D animation now. I don't like anime, but I can agree about the 3D animation. So I thought why not have a 3D animated banner for the site? There's no reason I could think of that that wouldn't work! But that's just one of the improvements I'd need. I'm trying to go by some of his boss's suggestions. He knows what he's doing, I'm sure. At first I was going to have a flash banner, but after I thought about it, I thought an animated banner would be better.

That's not the only change that Metazoica is going to be going through. I'm also going to have a members section where I will have movies about some of the animals. I've been thinking more along the lines of having them cartoony-style, like the animals on the movie Madagascar. Only less of the extreme features. Have them look somewhat real and somewhat cartoony. I've also been thinking of having some video games up. And a rating system for members to rate each animal on the site. That should be cool!

I recently wrote to the creators of the new inxs.com site and suggested they put up a section where members can upload video onto the site. He wrote me back and said that sounded like a great idea. Then he hit me with a trick question. He asked me if I have any videos already up on YouTube. I was thinking he meant like INXS videos, which I do not have yet. I was not sure they were legal! Though I've seen other people post some. Since my skills as a still photographer suck tiger balls, I thought instead I could take videos of INXS when I go to the concerts, and post them up on inxs.com. Everyone raves about my videos. Though mostly because they are funny. I will also be adding comedy to these videos as well. It's not going to be all concert clips. I told him I have videos I have done on YouTube, but very little has to really do with INXS. But I told him he is more than welcome to check out the videos I do have, strickly to show him what I can do with videos. I looked back again at some of my other videos that do talk about INXS. I heard the video again that talked about the site being up. I was like "Oh my! I hope he doesn't take that the wrong way!" LOL! That video was supposed to be funny. I was making fun of myself in the video more than the site or INXS. So far, one other fan has seen it and taken it seriously. Oh well. I still kinda hope that the site manager considers my suggestion. If not, well, I will continue to share my videos here, on MySpace, Facebook and YouTube.

"I Hope You Never Get A Dog!"

This is a video I did for this person who trolls my guestbook on my Chihuahua website every year. She's done it for the past 2 years, and I am expecting her again soon. She always says something to the effect of "I hope you never get a dog!" I always find it kinda funny because I know who she is, and I know exactly why she believes I should never get a dog. So, I decided to make a mocking video about it, explaining the whole idea. At the end, I ask the experts about how I am with my dogs and if I should get another dog or not. I mention that only these experts are the ones whose opinions count to me. So far they have no complaints. So if they have no complaints, neither do I. But it makes for a funny video anyway. Enjoy everyone!

When Opportunity Knocks

Funny how I was thinking about this last night when I was watching a program about hording. They said that excessive hording always coincides with excessive shopping. I couldn't agree more! This one woman the show was portraying last night happened to mention that if she goes shopping and sees something she wants and doesn't get it right then, she does nothing but think about it until she does get it. That triggered a memory of something that I remember from my teen years. A big thing that taught me a lesson I will never forget! Well, it was big to me! To others, it may just sound like something insignificant. But being a teenager with her heart set on something, it was a big thing to me.

When I was a teenager, I loved penguins! In fact, I still love penguins. I'm a bird-lover, what can I say?! I also loved collecting plush animals from the World Wildlife Fund Endangered Species collection. They were my favorite because they were so real looking! One day I went to the mall, and there at Waldenbooks was a collection of WWF plush animals that they were selling. They had a whole bunch of them all displayed on a stand, but the one that caught my eye the most was this full-sized emperor penguin. But there was one problem, that penguin had a price tag of $40. And at the age of 14, $40 might as well have been $1000 to me! There was no way I could have saved that much. And I feared that by the time I could raise that much, the toys would be gone. Well, I had to leave it put, but if I didn't know any better, I would have shoplifted that penguin!! But I knew that was wrong so I didn't do it. I left that store empty-handed, and went home, but when I did go home, I thought of and talked about nothing but that some day I was going to get that plush emperor penguin.

Well, for the following 3 months, until summer, I continuously went back to that store just to see if that plush penguin was there. Sure enough it was! All that time, it was still there. Well, my grandma somehow heard of my dilemma, and she wanted to offer me $40 to paint and finish the drawers in her bedroom, so I said OK. It was now summer vacation, and I was going to stay there a couple of weeks and work on her drawers. The weekend before I left for grandma's, I went back to that mall to see if the penguin I wanted was still there. Sure enough it was. I figured it has been there for 3 whole months that maybe it will still be there when I get paid in 2 weeks. I managed to have it almost finished in a week. And then grandma went nuts one day. So I spent the rest of that day just working on her drawers so I could go home the next day. I didn't like staying at her place when she was going nuts. She'd start crying and get freaky sometimes and I didn't like it. Don't get me wrong, I loved my grandma! But I hated it when she would get all nutty.

The very next day I headed for home, and I got some extra money that I had been saving that I thought would be good enough to cover the tax on that plush penguin. Then I caught the bus back down to the mall, all the way singing to myself "I'm going to get my penguin!" I was high on anticipation! It was bright and early when I took off, I was going to quickly run down to the mall, purchase my penguin, run home and go back to sleep, caressing with my new plush pet! That bus could not get there fast enough for me. When it finally reached the parking lot, I ran out of that bus, all the way into the mall and back to Waldenbooks, all with the greatest excitement. I fully expected to see that shelf again, with all the plush animals sitting on it, including my penguin, just like I saw them only one week before, and every time I went there for the previous 3 months. But when I got there, all the plush animals, including my penguin, were all gone!! It was like an arrow had pierced me right through the heart! Just when I had finally got the money to purchase this item, it was gone!

The first words that came to my mind was of course "Where are they???" So I asked the clerk. He told me the plush animals were not selling very well, so they sent them back. I even went so far as to tell the clerk how I'd scrimped and saved for 3 months to get that penguin, and about the job I did for grandma. All he could give me was a half-assed apology, which was more like a brush-off. I asked him when they would ever have those again and he said "Maybe at Christmas." Well, you could imagine my disappointment. There I was with the money I had saved for months, and the last bit I worked so hard at. And nothing to show for it. I was really upset! That's probably the most upset I ever have been in my life. At least at that time. It taught me a lesson too! It taught me that from then on, when I see something I really want, I need to find a way to get it right then! Because it won't wait till I have the money. I had just seen that penguin only a week before, and up until then, had been there for 3 full months, so the thought of asking the store to hold it until I got paid didn't even cross my mind. I figured it would still be there then. But the clerk told me they had just sent the plush animals back only a couple of days before I got there to purchase it.

Just FTR, in case anybody was wondering, Waldenbooks never did get those plush toys back not even for Christmas. And today, you can't get those plush toys anywhere! I've looked! Even on ebay they don't have them. I looked on ebay, Amazon, even on the World Wildlife Fund's own website. They are nowhere now. Even stores that used to always have them don't have them anymore. So that was one opportunity that I completely missed out on, and would never get back again. Just goes to show you! When opportunity knocks, you'd better answer the door! To this day, I wondered what GOD's plan for me was there. Why was I not able to get that penguin, even though I wanted it more than anything? I guess I will never know for sure.

Still Learning The New Site

I've got so much on my plate, I just go into inxs.com when I can. I got people who want the Metazoic site finished NOW. It's just me working on it now! So I juggle it into my schedule when I can. But I also have to live a little thing called life. I don't want to disappoint my viewers, but I am a busy person. I work on Metazoica when I can. I'd like it to be faster myself, but since it's only me working on it, I can only do it at my pace. I barely have much time to get into inxs.com. Most of my time online is spent doing the Metazoic site, or with fans and other people I enjoy. I don't go into inxs.com with the intent of conversing with anyone. Particularly not strangers. So, my friends from Facebook, or MySpace, if I haven't responded to you, please accept my apologies. If they want to say anything to me, they know where to find me anyway. I think by now all my friends know about this blog, and they all can reach me in Facebook or MySpace.

Yeah, I know. I might as well be known as a cyber-hermit. You all know by now how I got this way. Or you should. Now, anyone who isn't on my Facebook or MySpace, I have NO interest in conversing with. :) Anyway, I was thinking about the new INXS site. They have where fans can upload pics. But since I am such a lousy photographer, they should have where the fans can upload videos. When I go to concerts, I'm going to be taking videos, not still pics. I only have one camera, and it is so old, and eats up batteries like nobody's business!! If I thought I was any good at photography, I would get myself one of those $1500 cameras and equipment. But my skills as a photographer SUCKS!!!! I'm much better at making movies. Of course I will be condensing these films so I can post them up to YouTube. I will also be in the films, adding a bit of comedy and narrative relief. But don't expect me to film the lead singers, whomever they may be. My primary focus will be Tim!! He is the only one I really go there to see. I still don't give 2 shits about Brandon Flowers!!! All I want to see is my favorite men of INXS. I may capture some JD if he is there for my JD loving buddies. I will also be posting these videos up on Facebook for my friends to see. Those videos will be longer. YouTube only allows 10 minutes, so I will only be posting 10 minutes of the video there. But Facebook allows up to 20 minutes. I can much easier fit 2 hours of concert into 20 minutes. We'll see what happens. :)

INXS Website's New Vibe

Looks like there isn't going to be any forums or anything of that nature. But they have got where we are allowed to post on pics and other bits on the site. Pretty cool!!! I had a look at the mods of the site. Doesn't look like DonnaG is one of the mods, but it is full of her supporters. This is the list of mods I got today:

Drumbaby
Aussierocks1
duran2inxs
Libby
Dees

I only know Drumbaby and Aussierocks1. They're pretty cool. The rest I don't know, or don't like at all. Duran2inxs, she's one of those fans who thinks her shit doesn't stink. I don't like her at all! She can seem nice at first, but she's only nice to you as long as you agree with everything she says, or you give her something, or you're one of those other fans who is very popular, or has had drinks with the band. Libby, I only spoke with her once, and that was enough! I don't like her either. I didn't like how she approached me. She approached me like a rabid gorilla when she thought I was talking about her on here, which I wasn't at the time! But she approached me like a madman anyway. She'll probably read this again, and approach me the same way, but if anyone wants any proof of how evil she can be, I still have the e-mails she sent when she *thought* I was talking about her. I'll post them up if I have to. Dees I have no idea who she is, but I know she's a DonnaG supporter. So I think I'll stay away from her too. Gosh, I hope they cannot see my ISP #. Those last 3 I'm sure will share my info with Donna! Scary. If DonnaG finds out where I live at, I'm surely going to report their asses. You can bet on that!
 
Well, now. Everyone knows I live in Ocean Shores, but only my friends know exactly where. And these friends I trust. I know they wouldn't divulge where. I have made a few posts, on some pics mostly. I hope my inquiries didn't go to these people!! Then I know I'll never get any assistance. I signed on to create a new account, but for some reason, I couldn't get it to send me the confirmation e-mail. So I wrote to the people behind the site. My friends told me they're probably getting thousands of messages, and not to expect them to respond. Some of my friends said that they were able to sign in using their old login info. I didn't think that was possible with me because before the old inxs.com site shut down, I deleted my account there. I'm so glad I did too! I wouldn't have wanted to pay for another year only to find out the site would shut down in the middle of that year! Everything happens for a reason. Perhaps I felt deep down inside that would happen so my interest in INXS waned off a little. Maybe. Who really knows?
 
Well anyway, I tried it, and sure enough, I was able to sign in with my old info. But I didn't want to be known as "TKGsChihuahuas". That was my old screen name, and I had it when I was breeding chihuahuas. Now, I only have 2 chihuahuas, both are spayed/neutered, and one papillon, also spayed. I'm not a kennel anymore. So I changed the name. I still show up under the fan info as "TKGsChihuahuas", even though I changed it to Timmyfan1. That kinda sucks!! I had to use "Timmyfan1" because "Timmyfan" was already taken, by me in the other account I could not get verified! It's silly! But oh well!! As long as those last 3 people on the admin list cannot access my info, I don't care what happens!

The New INXS.com

Well, I stopped into the new INXS website, and it seems to be OK. However, it apparently would not accept my old e-mail address. UGH!! So I had to use my Yahoo e-mail. I mostly reserve that e-mail for Facebook notices. Well, I signed up and I never received the verification e-mail. So I wrote to the manager of the site. Strangely enough, I can still view member-only content. I even left a message on Timmy's page, just to see if I could. I did! I don't understand it. I know I said I wasn't going to comment much, but my comment was directed to Tim, not the fans. I said I wasn't going to have much contact with the fans (outside of those that are on my Facebook or MySpace page) and I won't. There are no blogs or forums. I guess they decided they weren't going to put up with that this time. I had a look at some of the fans on the site, and I noticed even the guys have their own profile. Amazingly enough, JD is even on there. Don't know yet if he is still counted as a member of the band. Though it looks like he may be. We'll see! Maybe they just excluded him from this tour, who knows?

Well, at least the new site is up and running and looking pretty good. Can't really expect anything to work on the first day. It's pretty cool that they allow us to comment on the bands' individual pages. I just left one message to Tim, telling him I'm showing him some lovin'!!

Ya know, I had a dream about Andrew last night! LOL! I dreamed that he came to my home, and we had dinner. I made him my famous home made pizza and he loved it. Then next thing I knew he and I were sitting in the living room and we were watching television together and making comments about what was coming on. We were just like 2 friends conversing. I loved Andrew, but I remember feeling in the dream that I wish it was Tim there instead of him. But I still liked Andrew. hehe! That's a weird dream though!

While inxs.com was working on their site, I've been adding a few entries to my Metazoic site. I've got 3 working right now. It's good for a start.

Culling Friends

Very theraputic. Everyone should try it. Well, I normally don't do it. I don't like to. But for me, it all started this morning when I got a friend request from someone named Rachella Browna. I always accept every friend request because I like to give everyone a chance. There have been times when I've accepted requests even from people I knew all along would not work out. I do it anyways because that's my nature. Anyway, this Rachella she was just starting out, when I accepted her request, she had only 5 friends. I didn't know her, but then I have a lot of people as Facebook friends that I didn't know at first. And many of them turned out to be OK people! So I just came right out and asked this girl if she is an INXS fan. I didn't expect an answer right away. So I carried on about my regular day. Well, by this afternoon, I still hadn't heard from her and I was getting rather curious. So I went back to her page, and I noticed now she has over 100 friends!! Wow!! What a fast worker!! I tried to look for the message I left on her page, just to see if she'd responded to it and I just didn't know it. I went all the way back to the beginning, and the message I sent her had been deleted. Not only that, but one of the people she requested an add from had written her another message asking "Who are you?" That it's self told me a lot about this person! She's just whoring friends! Young people typically do that! They will go around to hundreds of random people and send them friend requests, just so they can go to school, college or where ever, and point out to others 'Hey! Look at my Facebook (and/or MySpace) page! I have a lot of friends! I rule!!' It's a status symbol for them.

Well, I always look for the mutual friends box, and I looked for hers and noticed she didn't have one. Which told me she and I had no mutual friends. That, coupled with this message from one of her "friends" and the fact that she had deleted my post, all told me this person is just looking for people for the numbers, not to really be friends with them. So, I wrote one last message to her saying "OK, bye!" and I deleted her from my friends. I updated my status on Facebook saying "I ain't that fricken desperate for friends on here!" So I went back and culled a few more people, most of them were people who probably only had me in their friends for the same reason. To me, friends are friends, not numbers to be displayed as a status symbol! I'll NEVER be that desperate for friends!!! I like to build lasting friendships with everyone on my list, I treat them all as equals. I usually do not send requests to anyone, for the simple fact that I feel like I'm forcing myself on them. Don't ask me why I feel that way! I just do!! I've been that way since I was a kid. I don't send requests, but I always accept them. But today, I did some culling, which is something I don't normally do. I do it like once in a blue moon. Today was one of those days where I said I'm going to do this. So I did. There was one person I've had since the beginning, and I deleted her because we've NEVER communicated in any way and we had nothing in common. I've been meaning to get rid of her, but I just never got around to it.

So today, I went from having 94 friends on Facebook, to only having 89. :) But I'm not unhappy.

The INXS Curse

I'd better not bad mouth INXS again, I think they voodooed me! Last night I had to go out because my looney sister didn't put her school money in the bank! So I had to go and do it myself so her book purchases wouldn't bounce! She never listens! I told her to put that money in the bank, she could have done it after she got out at school. Unfortunately at our bank here in town, you cannot make after-hour deposits. So, I had to hurry on over to the branch in Aberdeen to prevent the account bouncing and us having to pay an extra $28 for each bounced item. I asked Anna why she didn't deposit the money herself and her only answer was she was hungry and wanted to get home and eat. Also yesterday, I noticed INXS.com had a ticker on their page counting down the next 2 days. I kept saying "I hope this leads to something and it had better be good!"

Well, as I was walking out the door to go to the car, I was trying to keep the dogs from following me out. I tried closing the door really quickly, so quickly that my left hand was caught in the door way and I didn't even know it!! I wound up slugging my 2 middle fingers between the door and the frame, and it hit pretty damn HARD!!!! My fingernails immediately turned black! It hurt so damn much it induced me to laugh! Believe it or not, I have this whiny laugh when I am in pain. I couldn't do anything about it then because I had to hurry into Aberdeen, but the pain and lack of mobility in those fingers made driving extremely difficult!! How I made it, I don't know!! Even now, trying to type this blog is torture! It's taking a lot longer than it normally does for me. I was thinking INXS had cursed me because I said that about their countdown page. I blame that and I also blame Anna for making me go out there as well!! Instead of her depositing the money herself while she was in Aberdeen like I told her to yesterday before she left for school!!! The only good thing about this is that I am grateful that it wasn't my writing hand that was hurt.

Today, it still hurts like Hell! There's no swelling, but it still hurts bad!! I just want to stay home today!! Stay home and look at my pics of Timmy and dream of the new website. I wonder what the site will have? I don't know what I want to see personally. But will there be any fan interaction like last time? I don't know why I care about that at all! LOL! If I did go back, I think I'd find that I'm the most hated fan on the planet. Like I said in my bullying video; mostly, if not entirely, because I don't follow these so-called "popular fans". I'm not into that. I like whom I like and that's it. I don't like someone just because they have interaction with the band! In fact, those kinds of fans I have found to be the worst! Because most of them think their shit doesn't stink. I don't think I'll be interacting with the fans at all. And most of my writing will probably be here on this blog. But they are more than welcome to read here if they want to! I don't mind at all.

Maybe This Is IT?

I keep going back to inxs.com and seeing the same thing I saw when the count down stopped. I'm starting to believe that this is it. This is the new website. Perhaps we were the wrong ones in thinking there was going to be something like what we had before. Maybe there isn't going to be a forum, no blogs, no band bios, no fan interaction, no videos, no pictures, no discography, no nothing! I'm thinking this is the whole bowl of wax; a free newsletter that you sign up for. And they send you alerts saying "this is when INXS will be going touring, and where they will appear", and yadda-yadda-yadda. I'm beginning to believe that! Because for days, it's said "It's Finally Here", and that means it's here at last. This was the final wait. Well, maybe it wasn't what we expected, but I guess this is going to be it. Maybe there is no more. hm. Rather dull if you ask me! But then again, who did ask me? LOL! Maybe INXS didn't want to deal with having a big, spectacular site that they would have to monitor or something. I don't know.

**********************UPDATE*********************************
INXS has just announced on Facebook that the new site should take off in 48 hours TOPS. We'll see about that! I just want to alert all fans to keep their eyes open. Maybe something will change.

Metazoica Now Being Updated

Well, now that I have picked my web designer, he has been hard at work. I like this guy a lot! He is a very hard worker, and is doing everything he can to make this site work. I was so glad this time I let my instincts do the picking. If I had done that when I was picking someone to do the UMG Productions site, I would be 1000% more happy with the work than I was and right now, the site wouldn't be having a problem. My instincts are impeccable, what can I say? I never would have hired the guy that I did hire if I had used my instincts then. I used my eyes and ears then. Not good! He made himself sound like he was the answer to all my prayers, like he was my work angel sent from Heaven. There was another guy who I liked a lot better, and I should have hired him! But I felt this worker was good because so far, he has been very quick to respond to my requests without putting up too much of a battle. He does exactly what I want and when I want it. That other guy, I couldn't even get him to remove those banners I kept telling him I didn't want!

I took down my last post about Timmy blocking me. I found out what the problem was, and I mostly did that post to be funny. But I don't want anyone getting the wrong idea about how I feel about Tim, and I was afraid that's what that post would be doing. I still like the guy a lot. Besides, I found out it wasn't that he was blocking me. I tried donating to someone else on that site and I still found that I couldn't. So it wasn't Timmy blocking me at all! LOL! I was only kidding anyway when I said that!!! If I can't tease Tim Farriss, who can I tease? It was the site it's self that was blocking me, because what I have is not a real credit card. So I said what the hey! I cut my hair for leukemia awareness, that it's self was a huge sacrifice for me. I just wish I could have done a lot more.

Well, barring a few problems, the new Metazoic site should be up and running soon. That's why I like this guy, I have a knack for being able to tell who is good and who is not, when I rely on my instincts. And I knew this guy would be good. I even told him that later on, I might want to hire him again to do the UMG Productions site. But I better draw out a plan. A much better plan. I think I know exactly what I want for that site. This one though I have to discuss with my supervisor. Even she is upset that the site is now down. Fortunately we are also very good friends, so she hasn't fired me yet over this. LOL! I told her about this guy the other day, and she agreed I should hire him to redo the UMG site. Well, I wrote to the old web designer, and am giving him one last chance to respond. If he doesn't respond by the end of this week, he's going to be toast!

OK, I'm Over It Now

I was angry with INXS last night because the website was not yet launched. But I think I am over it now. I don't feel so angry anymore. One of my Facebook buddies reminded me of a morbid, but valid point. Timmy's wife has cancer. So the last thing on their minds is the website now. Timmy at least, now has greater worries. The health of his wife should preceed ALL else! When she mentioned that, I thought about it and I was like "she has a very good point there", so I saw no need to feel all that anger toward the band anymore. I have some wonderful Facebook friends!! Some of the best! I couldn't believe I didn't even think about that at a time like this. So, my apologies to Tim and his wife if I seemed insensitive in any way. Most of my last video was meant to be funny, rather than just a solid rant. People think I'm funny when I'm pissed off, so I capitalize on it. What can I say? Anything for a laugh.

There was a little bit of miscommunication with my web designer and I didn't even know it until this morning. I told him when I started this project that I'd been using Yahoo's own SiteBuilder to supply my Metazoic site with pages, and that was how it's done. That's how I was doing it. Well, this morning I started to discuss the other pages on my site, and he gave me this quite surprised "What??" I told him I have over 100 pages on my Metazoic site and still growing. Well, then he basically asked me why I didn't bring that up before and I told him I did. I wanted to know if Yahoo's SiteBuilder would clash with the work he's done so far and he said it would. So I told him I want to be able to add pages as I need to. I'd better not bother him with anything else. He was afraid his boss would fire him. I told him to send his boss to me and I'd be happy to explain this situation. He said he couldn't. So, he had to deal with him himself. He told me his boss was going to take away his 10% for the job and give it to the actual workers for overtime. I told him *Maybe* I can compensate him for that 10%. It was partially my fault. I should probably have made myself more clear when I said the site will be growing and adding more pages. I thought he knew what that meant!!

I have another problem with telling a friend something I think she should know. But how to tell her?? I have no idea! I don't like to pry, but I also don't want to see this friend hurt. I truly care what my friends think. But I hate to see them hurt by someone, and I'm afraid that's exactly what will happen to this one.

Timmyfan Discusses: What's The Deal INXS????

OK, nobody seemed to be interested in my April Fool's joke, so I took it down. I was shocked that inxs.com was supposed to be launched today, and it wasn't. I was upset and so were a lot of my friends. So this is a ranting and raging video. My sis said that I spoke so loud that she was trying to read and couldn't concentrate. Well!!! I was pissed!! I'm sick of waiting for INXS to do something and making promises and nothing happens. I was thinking it was a cruel April Fool's joke when the site did not appear once that ticker was done counting down. Ya know, one of my Facebook friends brought up, when the countdown started, that it was ironic that inxs.com was going to be launched on April Fool's Day. So I guess, ha-ha the joke's on me. But at the same time, I'm a little bit angry.
