Congrats to The Farriss Family

So I'd like to take this time to extend a heartfelt congratulations to Jon and Kerry Farriss on the birth of their new baby boy. I knew this one was going to be a boy!! People should probably hire me to tell what someone's baby is going to be, because I always seem to have a knack for knowing that! hehehe!! That's a joke, BTW!!! I wonder when the baby will be announced on inxs.com? Does this baby have a name? If so, what is it? hehe! Well, I know the baby must have a name by now! But why hasn't it been announced yet? When their little girl was born, the baby's name was announced right away. I hope this little boy grows to look just as nice as his daddy. Some people are suggesting he name the baby Michael. I dunno. Though it is a nice name, Jon may want to name the baby after himself (Jon, Jr.) I know the name James is popular with the Farriss family, but Tim already has a boy by the name James. Though I don't know about their family. In my family we have a simple rule, we don't use the same name twice. My sisters have had to be careful when they had their kids not to pick a name that the other was using. Katrina gets so mad at Eva because Eva keeps having kids and taking all the good names! LOL! I know Eva is not finished having children, but I think Katrina is.

This past weekend I made my usual potato-leek soup. It's good soup! Takes forever to prepare though. The only thing I admit I hate about this soup is after a few hours I start burping up gas that tastes the way burned rubber tires smell!! UGH!!! I know, too much info.

There's Always One...

There's always one in a crowd that is going to pop in and bitch about everything. A few days ago, I posted a video of myself critiquing INXS's new version of Kick. I still don't like it! Nothing that anyone can say to change my mind about that. I don't like it. Some people have enjoyed my reviews while others haven't. I understand that. When I put myself up out there, I can expect to get mixed reviews, it happens. Well, this piece of work on YouTube comes from Australia. I think I know who she is, but she calls herself Hutchrocks1 on YouTube. She's simply on there to do nothing but pass BS on my videos. The problem with this one is that she seems to think everyone has to agree with her. Such a shame! At her age and she believes everyone has to think the same way she does. I don't know her, but already, I don't like her! She reminds me too much of the delusional mods. Or like she's one of those mega-INXS fans who thinks her shit doesn't stink. I had a little fun with her on my Kick video. This was what she posted:

"Timmyfan if inxs are your favourite band, you wouldnt be ditching them and this album. And also if you think that the band will be watching your review your very much mistaken."

I'm not quite sure where she got the idea that I did that particular video thinking that any of the men of INXS would be watching. I didn't mention that on that video. Really, I did it for entertainment purposes. Just one long-time INXS fan giving her own opinion on this new version of Kick. But I did not do the Kick-critique video thinking INXS would be watching. I can say I got that a lot on my Joan Rivers video too, at the same time I got at least one individual who said he would always defend Joan Rivers, and I told several people that I really don't think Joan Rivers gives a damn what I say about her. LOL! So I believe I am fully aware that the chances of any celebs seeing my videos are very slim. It wasn't until after I did the Kick critique that I got that message from someone who does have some associations with INXS asking me to make videos critiquing the other songs on the album. But, I decided anyway to have a little fun with this person, like I do with all other trolls. My response to her was:

@Hutchrocks1 "if inxs are your favourite band, you wouldnt be ditching them and this album."
That's simply your opinion isn't it hunny. :)
"And also if you think that the band will be watching your review your very much mistaken."
Then I've got nothing to worry about, haven't I? ;)

Yes, Hutchrocks1 is a troll! She is the very definition of what a troll is. I searched for other comments made by this person, and she does nothing but gripe and leave negative comments on other peoples' videos. Apparently she missed the video I did critiquing "Drum Opera", which I did like. So far, it's been the only track I heard on this new album that I like. But it's good! But let me say this, just because I love INXS does not mean I have to love all their songs! I don't work that way. I can love someone or something and not like some of the things they do. I don't like Minnie eating deer droppings! But I still love my Minnie. I'd just wash her mouth with soap if I see she's been eating deer droppings!! LOL!

Well, chances are pretty good she won't even see my responses. Hit-and-run type troll! hehe! But just in case, here they are. I sometimes wonder what it is with INXS fans these days. Do we all really have to agree with everything INXS does and says? Maybe I am a lousy INXS fan because I have my own mind, and believe you-me I'm going to use it! I didn't like this version of Kick, and I am going to say so. If you don't like me saying that I don't like it, that's your problem. Make your own video telling your viewers what you think. When you do, you can bow down and ass-kiss all you want to. But I am not. Sorry. That's not how this Timmy-fan works. ;)

Forget About Michael?

So let's see, I've been cruising through Facebook and one of my buddies mentioned a young woman who went to an INXS concert, where JD was singing. The woman held up a picture of Michael and a security guard swiped the picture out of her hand and ripped it to shreds. I read that harrowing story, and I thought "Oh how terrible!!!" I really felt bad for the poor girl!!!! I don't know who she is, but that doesn't mean I don't feel bad about what happened to her. I mean, I know I would be totally distraught if someone took a picture of my deceased grandparents and ripped it to shreds! Same concept. That girl is definitely owed an apology from INXS!!! Hearing a story like that, I almost lost all my respect for INXS. The one thing though that I keep thinking is it wasn't INXS's doing. It was the doing of that one security guard. I would have MADE him apologize to me, because that was totally uncalled for!!

It brings a kindof big question to my mind, has INXS turned against Michael? Have they turned their back on him? A lot of people are believing they have. That isn't fair. It really was Michael who made INXS what it was. Another buddy of mine said that all the MH comments are getting deleted from the INXS fan page on Facebook, and even some from the website. What gives? So if I went in there and mentioned Michael's name and how I felt about his singing, would my posts then be deleted too? I have been giving INXS some of my most honest opinions of their music. I like the one original track from their new album, it sounds good!! But I have to say the re-makes of their old stuff really SUCKS!! It sounds to me like INXS is turning into a rap/RnB band!! If they are then I am no longer a fan because I can't stand rap or RnB music!! However, Tim is still Tim and I still think he's very handsome!!! Is it possible for a person to be a fan of one band member and not the music? If it is, then I've become that with INXS today. I want INXS back, if they must go on with JD then please do so!! Don't bring in these obscure singers to recreate these damn songs, most of them are bad, I must say!!

Well, I have been asked by someone, who is pretty well high up with INXS, to continue doing reviews of each of the songs of their new album. He's going to show the videos to the band and show them that the long-time fans like myself are not in approval with this new music. I love INXS, I have nothing at all against them, but this new music SUCKS!!!!! I just wish they would find it in their hearts to move on. That is what they are supposed to be doing. That was what they said they would do with JD. Instead, INXS have taken a step backward. Not just a step, but they've gone to the edge of a cliff with no way out!! It's upsetting. Yet they allow a thing like what happened to this woman to happen at one of their concerts. INXS needs to seriously take a good look at what the fans are saying. I am a long-time fan of INXS, and I am not mad at them by any means. I'm more worried about what has become of them. They don't even seem to want to meet the fans anymore, and that is sad!! Especially after hearing how they used to love their fans, and my own meeting with Tim Farriss was an unforgettable event in my life! He was so kind and generous. I hate to think that old age has turned him into a grumpy old bag!!! Not that that is what I really believe.

And why is Michael no longer allowed to be mentioned? Is that such a terrible thing to mention Michael, or even bring his pic, to a concert? Why did INXS allow something like that to happen? Why are comments about Michael being taken off the INXS website and Facebook page? It's not fair! Especially when they are already looking back with this new album. I felt bad about that story I heard. I hope they do not still have that security guard, because if he tried something like that with me, I would be totally pissed, no telling what I would do then. Nothing really bad! But I think I would demand a serious apology!

Playing The Martyr

I've often been told that I act like the martyr in many situations, some people have even accused me of being spineless or cowardly. I have to laugh at those people though. You can say a lot of things about me! You can say I am arrogant, stupid, a jerk, an asshole, I'm nice, I'm opinionated, etc, etc, etc. But to say I am spineless I would say is a complete oximoron to who I really am. For one thing, I've never been shy about putting my real name out there. Some strangers even have my home address. I've even begun putting movies of myself out there, and pics. Would a spineless person do that? I personally don't think so. But then I guess it depends on what the other person calls "spineless". I remember someone, by the name of Rhonda (on the Pluba forum), once called me that because I agreed with someone who she didn't like, and she could not get me to agree with her on anything. Rhonda was angry at me from day 1 because of that too! LOL! Basically I just laugh at Rhonda though because she was one of those "hit-and-run" trolls, which is the most spineless variety of internet troll there is. But anyway, if I were someone else, looking at me from the outside in, I would definitely not call someone like me 'spineless'.

You know why I decided to put movies up of myself? Because Dustin Grey implied that I was hiding myself. It actually made me look at myself and I said, "OK, no more hiding. From now on, I am going to put videos up of myself, just because my face annoys him so much." So that was when I began putting up videos of myself, talking into my camera. hehe! I do find that when I am struck by a troll, I tend to put up more videos of myself. Until then, I usually cannot think of what to put up. I don't know why. I think because I give my mind such a good workout with trolls invading my videos, it kinda 'jump-starts' my creative processes. The worse the troll, the more creative I feel! hehehe!! I gave my mind a darn good workout this past weekend with Travis, by keeping my cool. It's great excersize for my mind! I get all giddy, and giggly when someone like him tries so desperately to put me down! That kinda re-energizes my creative juices, and I create more videos. Like yesterday I did a video about INXS's new album. I love INXS, but Nikka Costa singing Kick really SUCKED!!!! I hated it!! I went to inxs.com to warn everyone not to listen to that song. Very likely my posts will get deleted, but here it is again (plus I have my video), DON'T LISTEN TO THE NEW KICK ON INXS'S NEW ALBUM!!! IT'LL HURT YOUR EARS!!!!!! I hate it! I like the old version of Kick much better! This version is so slow, it sounds like Costa is singing in her sleep!! What is with music today?? There's no more rhythm, no more beat. Everyone nowadays seems to like it nothing but slow and sickly!! That's why I don't listen to modern music! No one can sing anymore. I don't think Costa is a good singer at all!!! I liked Shania Twain better than this wench!!

Anyway, why do I sometimes act like the victim in some cases? Well, it depends on the case. I know I put myself out there and there is a potential to get targeted by trolls and low-lifes. When I "play the martyr", it is most likely because I have felt threatened by someone. Like someone has backed me into a corner and I felt there was no other way out. Now, simple trolls like Travis and dustingrey, I did not feel threatened by. Because they're just trolls! What can they physically do to me? Nothing! They didn't even seem like the types that would hack into someone else's computer. Trolls like Rhonda, from Pluba, don't scare me at all!! Even when Rhonda resurfaced as "the watcher", more often I laughed at her than felt threatened by her! Because what could she do to me? Absolutely NOTHING!! She was too spineless. Spineless trolls (I call them "hit-and-run" trolls) are the least threatening of all. I wasn't going to go to her house, and she knew damn well she didn't have a prayer of ever being welcome in mine, and she was too cowardly even to argue so I did not feel threatened by her at all. The people I do feel threatened by are those who I know have hacked into other peoples' computers, called their homes, threatened their families, or have had friends who have hacked other peoples's e-mail accounts, and did all that stuff, those are the most threatening trolls, and yes they do exist!! I have heard too many stories of people running into internet enemies, and actually being shot or killed in some way, that I take every threat people throw at me seriously. Nowadays, no one can afford to take any threat lightly! So I don't. Usually when someone on the internet says they are going to shoot someone, chances are they won't do it. Unless that person actually knows the person they are threatening! But most of the time the person threatening me lives hundreds, or even thousands, of miles away from me, it is very unlikely they are going to do anything to me!!

I remember some years ago, a few people from the Pluba forum hacked into my old Hotmail account, and I noticed on my MSN, all of my friends had been eliminated, and it was not by me! 2 of the people I accused claimed they didn't do it. I don't believe they were the ones who actually hacked into my account, but I do believe (and they can never make me believe otherwise) that they knew the person who did it. One of them was brazen enough to ask me to add them to my MSN Messenger list. She knows who she is! Even though she denies it with all her might to her stupid friends, and not oddly enough, they actually believe her. The only reason I know it was someone from the Pluba forum is because the Hotmail account's alternate e-mail had been changed to an e-mail address that I used on the Pluba forum, and no where else. I didn't even have that e-mail when I set up the Hotmail account. No one could access that e-mail address unless they were the moderator, or was able to hack into my old account at Pluba. And I remember one time, this same person who was brazen enough to request an add to my MSN messenger, announced on the Pluba forum that she receives all private messeges sent to the moderator of that forum. If she could do that, what's to say she could not see any other info that was otherwise private on that forum? And she was the kind of person who would kiss and tell! She told all her fukwit friends everything she knew. I personally think she had personal connections with the mod, and she wasn't telling anyone that she did. But hey! It's OK! Karma will come to get those who do evil. Trust me! :) It may be sooner, or it may be later. You just never know. Bottom line is just be good to everyone you meet, and no harm will come to you.

Well, to summarize, that is why I am sometimes caught "playing the martyr". I usually only do so when I personally feel threatened. A person should not be allowed to get away with making threats to anyone whether it be on the internet or in person. I never do. I don't believe in making threats over the internet, nor over the phone, so I just don't do it. I never have. My ma always says talk is cheap. I may say I'd like to do this, or that. But that is hardly a threat! Though some people do see that phrase that way. But just because I say I'd like to do something, does not mean I am going to do it. But that's me! I don't trust strangers, so if someone threatens me over the internet, I think it'd be foolish not to take it somewhat seriously. That's how I feel.

Why Blame Only McDonald's?

I get this all the time! Every time someone sees a fat person, their first thought is "McDonald's!" But is McD's the only one to blame for the obesity problem? I don't believe so! People have been thinking this ever since the movie Supersize Me. My little sis loves that movie, BTW, because she said it reminds her of the movie Jackass. I admit, that obesity due to hormonal problems is really rare. Most people who say they are obese because of a hormone problem are, for the most part, lying! I read somewhere that only about 10% of the people who are obese really are so because of a hormone imbalance. However, I have medical proof that I am among that 10% who are afflicted with a hormone imbalance. However, I have ceased bringing that up with other people, simply because they do not believe me anyways. It's so much better to just sit back and let them think what they want than to sit here for days on end and get into a silly argument over the subject. But I can tell you with all honesty that I do not go to McDonald's. I have been pissed off at McDonald's for YEARS, due to incidents that have nothing to do with my weight or with that movie, and have been boycotting them, so it's been a very long time since I have been to McD's. I like Burger King, but I don't go there very often either. The only time I go there is when I am out of town, and I won't be home for a long time, like on one of our day trips to Oregon, which happens maybe once every 2 or 3 months. I like going to Oregon, but not that much, since we moved to Ocean Shores, it's too much wear and tear on our car, and it takes 4 hours just to get there from here, even going the short way. But mostly I prefer to do all my cooking here at home.

Lately, I haven't been eating much at all! I take a few little bites and I'm full!! I think that's what old age does to you. But anyway, I remember on that movie that they mentioned a couple of teenage girls who were suing McDonald's because they got fat. They must be the fricken stupidest people on the planet!! That has to be the dumbest reason I ever heard to sue anyone, because a person has the option to say no, I don't want to go to McDonald's. If those kids want to sue anyone, sue their friends or family who took them to McDonald's! McD's is only doing what they're supposed to be doing. When they ask if you want your meal supersized, you don't have to say yes. You can say no. It's freedom of choice, take advantage of it!! You go out to eat too much, and yes you are going to get fat! It happens. That's why you should learn to cook at home, then you know what you are getting. And I highly recommend switching from regular beef to bison meat. I did! It is actually the hormones that are being injected into cattle now that is making people, who eat beef, get fat. The hormones that are being pumped into beef cattle now are made to bulk up the cattle, so the beef farmers get more meat (thusly more money) out of the cows. Unfortunately it is doing the same to humans as well. So, either switch to organic beef or bison meat! Bison are naturally bulky, so no hormones are needed to make them bigger. But don't give up meat! No matter what PETA says, people do need meat. Giving meat up for me is not an option.

Another thing to blame is the economy. When I was a kid, my father worked and my mom stayed home, and we did very well. Ma was there to watch me, and I was able to go out and play outside, instead of staying inside watching television and playing video games, like what today's kids do. I remember back in 1993, we got a Nintendo game system, an old one, and I got hooked on Super Mario Bros. I played that game over and over and over again until I could no longer play it, I got too good. And there was this one level I could not figure out how to get out of! I got so hooked on that game, that I did that rather than play outside, or go to the mall with my friends. As a consequence, I began to put on more weight. I eventually lost it, but I got hooked on that game and it made me get fat. So there is proof that video games today are also making kids fatter than they were when I was younger. The one thing that made me lose the weight I gained that year was getting rid of the Nintendo, and going back out on hikes and to the mall to meet with my buddies. I sold the Nintendo with the game cartridge at a yard sale the following year. Not because I put on weight, but because of my pa, he made me sell a lot of my old stuff in a yard sale that year. I remember back then I hated being fat!!! I didn't care about the funny stares I got and the stupid comments from total strangers! I don't ever care what strangers think! I hated being fat because I didn't trust my balance anymore. My center of gravity shifted, and that was the one thing I loved about hikes over boulders and mountain-climbing. I was so agile when I was thin. I was like a sifaka!! When I put on weight, I could not leap like that anymore. It totally upset me! So I lost the weight, and getting rid of the Nintendo helped in that. It wasn't until after I got rid of the Nintendo that I made that connection, because I started losing weight again. hehe.

I live in a town now that is mostly elderly people, but there are quite a few families here. There are people who have kids, even teenagers. The one thing I've noticed about kids today, I never see any of them out riding their bikes or doing anything. Every once in a while I'll see a kid on a skateboard, or on a bike, but that happens about once in a full moon. Most of the time, I see the parents dropping their kids off at their friends' house, or they catch the bus, or something to that effect. Kids don't walk to their friends' houses like they did when I was little. I remember when we lived in Toutle, which is mostly a farming town, your nearest neighbors are several acres away, I had a best friend who lived 9 country blocks away. Now, believe me when I say in the city, that may not sound like very far, but in the country, 9 blocks is about a mile and a half away! I used to either walk to her house or ride my bicycle. No problem! Kids these days do not do that. I've noticed that. I had fun though walking to this friend's house. And we'd play with her animals. I remember she always had kittens at her place, because her yard had a huge collection of resident barn cats! LOL! None of them were tame though, but I would grab a kitten whose eyes hadn't opened yet and play with it. I never went to her place during week days, because it was too far, I always went there on weekends. But anyway, that was normal where I came from. I hardly ever saw any fat kids when I was growing up. And yes, we did have a McDonald's. I just never went unless my family took me there. Then I would only have a PLAIN cheese burger! No pickles, no mustard, no ketchup, no nothing! Just meat, bread and cheese. I am still that way about burgers. I don't like anything on it but meat and cheese. And now I've trained myself not to have anything except bison meat.

So why am I so fat? Well, I still have the hormone problems. That won't go away. I can get on a treadmill (I'm working on getting myself the latest NordicTrack that uses Google Maps), and I can move my way to Kingdom Come, I still won't lose weight. The main reason I want the treadmill is just to stay in condition so I can keep going on my walks. I don't mind being fat, now that I have adjusted to it, but I don't want to lose my ability to walk. I don't want to weigh no 400 pounds!! I don't even want to get back up to 300! Though I don't mind where I am at now (250 pounds). I look bigger because my belly bulges, but I have relatively skinny legs. There is a fun side to being fat, seeing all the crazy people on YouTube getting so pissed off because I am fat! LOL! I swear, they get angrier than I do! And they don't even have to live with it! LOL! It's funny as heck to watch them!! Like this boy named Travis who commented on one of my videos this last weekend (he calls himself smokeysmurf420420420). He came into my video and he got soooo pissed off, it was hilarious!! Of course he denied that he was losing his head, but his actions spoke louder than his words. When a person comments on a video with cuss words, they are pissed off!! LOL!! I love to have fun with people like that! One thing I will give Travis credit for, he is the first troll to admit he's actually a troll! He made a comment saying "It's obvious I am not going to get the emotional response that I want from you..." No, instead of him getting that emotional response from me that he so eagerly craved, I got it from him!! LOLOL!!!! That's why I love having fun with people like him. I love turning their attempts around on them. And I can say, at least with Travis, it worked beautifully!!! hehehe!! ;) Sometimes it does, and sometimes it doesn't work. But when someone like Travis comments, and he's already showing anger and is cussing and name-calling, I know right then I've got myself a sucker!! And I'm going to toy with him until he exhausts. hehe! It's fun! And funny as shit, because they come in there to try and piss me off, and they are the ones who wind up leaving there, pissed off. The fact that he doesn't know me, but thinks he does, helps a lot in keeping my cool.

So why are people thinking that all fat people spend all their time at McD's, instead of blaming what is possibly the real culprit, which is video games? Maybe they are video game lovers, and just do not want to face the fact that it is the love of their lives (video games) that are to blame for the obesity epidemic. I don't know. That is a remote possibility. Most of the people who blame McD's I noticed are all young people. People generally 25 or younger. Maybe they just want to blame what the media has blamed, in the form of the movie Supersize Me, or Fast Food Nation, and other such movies. People are more likely to follow what they see on TV and in movies, and not what is really so. It's just a fact of life.

Would You Breed?

I was just watching a program tonight about a certain kind of genetic disease that causes your immune system to attack your own body, it's called NEMO deficiency. In this case, NEMO is not a cute little clownfish, but an essential protein in the cells that prevents the immune system from attacking and killing good cells. If a person is deficient in this protein, the immune system attacks the body and all the good cells. It's terrible, and it is usually fatal. The worst thing about it is, it is hereditary. The good news is though that it can be treated and kept under control. But a person can still be a carrier. This woman whose child was afflicted with this disease, she's had 2 other members of her extended family come down with this same disease, and ended up dead, and she got all shocked and surprised when her own little boy started to show the symptoms of the disease.

This brings me to this question; if you knew that a fatal genetic disease is running in your family, would you have a child? Even though the possibility of that child getting (or even carrying) that disease was very great? I'm not so sure I would! Why put the child through that torture and suffering? I remember some months ago when I saw the documentary about Fatal Familial Insomnia, it was mentioned on that program that that ailment is also genetic. It also showed a young woman, whose family also had a history of the disease, getting married. She was a young girl, and her father died of the ailment. There was an interview with her aunt, who lost a child to the disease. Even the aunt hoped that her niece would never have children because the chance of it having FFI is so great. Most people have kids for selfish reasons, just because they want to carry on their genes. It's sad, but it happens. People have kids and are living in slums, or have kids and are working 12-hour shifts. No wonder kids today are so bad! But anyway, I think the worst thing a person can do is to have kids when they know something so deadly is running in their family. IMO, it's criminal! It's almost like putting a death sentence on your own child! People really should be very careful in cases like that.

NEMO deficiency usually only attacks boys, but girls can be carriers, and pass it on to their kids. Thus the continuation of the disease! It's terrible. Once a family has any kind of ailment in their genes, you cannot get rid of it. It cannot be "bred out", it's always there. You cannot really change a child's genetic code to get rid of the disease, or prevent it from spreading to the next generation. Just cannot be done. Some may be recessive, but they will eventually pop up. That mother knew that NEMO deficiency ran in her family, she knew the potential of it to kill was there. Yet, she selfishly had a child, and it suffered because of the disease. She was damn lucky her child did not die. Just knowing something like that was in my family, I would never have had kids!! People nowadays, I'll tell you, are more conscientious about breeding their dogs or cats than they are about having kids!! Good breeders breed only animals that have no inherited problems, but people think nothing about having kids when they have diseases that will kill their child, or seriously harm them. That's very puzzling to me!

Everyone Leaving Facebook?

I'm hoping this month will be better than last month. I have the feeling everyone is leaving Facebook! I lost about 8 friends last month, that's a record! And I haven't seen those people again. Well, one person I was not at all worried about losing, I found out she was only 10 years old, and she got pissed because I could not give her 100% of my time. But heck! I was OK with that! LOL! Like I said she was only 10. I didn't even know she was only 10 years old, and when she told me she was, I felt uncomfortable having her on my friends list. I thought she was at least 14! Not only that, she was asking me how we knew each other, and if I had a "piter" of myself. I don't even know what a "piter" is! LOL! ;) So, anyway I did not feel bad at all about losing that one, I don't even count that person. But some people I lost last month do matter to me. I was cleaning out the old game and application invites on my Facebook page and I noticed some names of the people who were missing were blotted out, but not their pics. When I clicked on their pics, I got a notice saying their pages did not exist. That's upsetting!! I really miss those friends! Not because they sent me apps and games and stuff (I usually just ignore those things anyway), but because they were good people! And great friends.

One of the people I lost last month kept deleting her account. I don't know why people do that. But one of her closest Facebook friends said that she always feels insecure about her posts and stuff. She doesn't speak english very well, and I remember every time she made a mistake (or I guess thought she was making a mistake) she would delete her posts, or apologize. I like that person, she was a nice girl. There were some things about her that needed improvement, but nobody is perfect! All-in-all, she was a nice person. She need not worry about her problems with speaking english. I don't think there was anyone who expected her to speak it very well. I know I get flustered sometimes talking to people, and I speak good english. But if people don't like what I have to say, they can eat shit!! I don't care. I could never delete my account, no matter what happens! I have too much stuff on there, and friends I really don't want to lose. I lost a lot of friends from MySpace, but I was not going to put up with MySpace anymore. I didn't get on there enough anyway to make what I had to put up with worthwhile. I still have a couple of other Myspace pages, but I don't ever go in there.

You know what I heard yesterday? One of my friends on Facebook announced that Miley Cyrus's mom is dating Bret Michaels. All I can say in response to that is "EEEEEEEWWWWWW!!!" I can't stand Bret Michaels!!!!! I think he's ugly as shit!! And he can't sing!! I just don't like Guns n Roses, period!! One person said he's an "improvement" over Billy Ray Cyrus. I don't think so. At least with B. R. Cyrus as Miley's father, she's been taught some good values. At least that's what my ma said. My ma actually watches her show, or she did when she lived in Olympia. We don't get Disney Channel out here. But I highly doubt Bret Michaels has any good values at all! Don't get me wrong, really! I don't really give 2 shits about Miley Cyrus or her funky father! But the idea that anyone would choose to date Bret Michaels is absolutely beyond my realm of knowledge!! But I guess to each their own. I myself would rather have dated Michael Jackson than Bret Michaels!! He is NOT my type at all! I would have posted my response on his post, but then my post would have followed the post of this one person who I do not like at all!! LOL! And I didn't want her to even dream that I would say even 2 words to her. ;)

Michael's Month

Well, November has arrived. I have christened this month Michael's Month. hehe! I remember right after Michael Hutchence passed away back in 1997, it was hard for me to face this month head-on. I even began hating the holiday season because it was a grim reminder that Michael was no longer with the world. I remember when I heard about his death, it was the very last fricken thing I ever thought I would hear in my lifetime!! Michael Hutchence did not seem like the kind of person who would kill himself! I remember I cried my eyes out for a week! I never really stopped crying. Every year after he died, around this time, I would start again and would not stop until the new year. The thing was, I never really met Michael. I saw him in concert once, and I kissed him, but he never even knew I did it! LOL! One day I looked at how I was feeling and I was wasting away because of it, I asked myself "what am I doing? Why am I allowing myself to get this upset over someone I never really met?" Don't get me wrong! Michael Hutchence was my most favorite singer of all time! I had dreams as a teenager of actually marrying him (although I knew they were just dreams). But why was I holding on so to the sadness of losing Michael when I never actually met him? Why feel so bad about losing someone I didn't even know? That didn't make sense to me. So I stopped dwelling on his death, and began using this month to celebrate his life. No more tears and crying, no more feeling of sadness and emptiness inside. No more hating the holidays. Instead, I began celebrating the LIFE of Michael Hutchence along with the celebration of Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Even Jesus Himself preferred the day of His death be celebrated rather than the day of His birth. That day is indeed special. Though we feel bad because they are no longer with us, it is important to remember how that person lived their lives. When we are born, we have not lived our lives yet. But when we die, we have lived, we have become who we are, or were. So that is why I say to celebrate Michael's life on the 22nd. I even changed my Facebook profile pic to possibly my most favorite pic of Michael. That's something I would normally never do! I'm not that big of a fan of his anymore. Nothing personal there! Just that now I am preferring guitarists over the lead singers. Especially when they are as handsome as Timmy is!! Usually if I'm going to put anyone's pic up other than mine, it's going to be Timmy's. But like I said, this is supposed to be Michael's month. After the 22nd, if I have time, I will put my pic back up. That is IF I have time!! LOL! I'm going to be doing a lot of baking that week! I have to do some baking for Thanksgiving dinner, and I promised I would also do some baking for the church bake sale. I've got my itinerary all planned out. I'm going to make my personal key-lime cupcakes, my fudge-topped brownies, my rich sugar cookies, my chocolate-chip-toffee cookies, my orange dreamsicle cupcakes, my peppermint meltaways, etc. LOTS of baking!! I sure hope after all that, that I sell everything. All this stuff is fairly easy to make up, but I still have the feeling I will be up all night cooking!! But the money made will be going to the missionaries in New Guinea. Wow!! When we get to Bozeman, I told Anna one of the things I want to do is open my own bakery and sell my goods. I don't know if Bozeman has a bakery, but I can make just about anything! And I have a very creative mind.

Well, I am thinking of doing the same thing for Michael this year that I did last year, and that is make another compilation video. I've had it in my mind for quite some time. The one I came out with last year was a good one. I was remembering Michael 12 years later. It was meant to be more funny than dramatic, but it wound up being a bit of both. I had just had surgery at the time I recorded the vocals, so my voice is a little bit funny in that video. But I want to do the same thing again this year. So we will see.

"PETA-Sucks.com" BS

Well, by now you all should know how I hate this forum. I mentioned the site on my blog last night and after I mentioned it, though briefly, I wondered if it was still up and running. Apparently a former member is also pissed off at that forum and it's admins, and is threatening a lawsuit. Not sure if that poster was serious though. But it shows the BS a person has to put up with when they go into that forum. Well, I read that post all the way through, and I noticed one line that really caught my attention, that is probably the funniest line I've ever seen anywhere on the internet. It was by someone who calls herself dogasouruslady. Now, I am definitely not in any way defending PETA by saying that the PETA Sucks site is full of BS. I say, that PETA Sucks is just as bad as PETA, if not maybe worse. I was on that forum for a little while, and I saw what the people on that forum are like. This was the part of the post that really caught my attention:

The claimant states:
5.) Peta-sucks.com has recently become a hate site allowing words and intent of hate. I wish no association with this group or any hate group.

The admin responds:
Peta-sucks.com has never been a hate site, is not now and never will be.

and also:
Hateful is a subjective term. One person's hate is another person's compassion.

This was from a post made on July 15, 2010. I can tell you I found this part of the post funny because having spent some time on this forum back in 2008, I can honestly and without hesitation tell you that PETA-Sucks promotes nothing but hatred! Most of it's members are inbred, trailer-dwelling, gun-swaggling rednecks who do nothing but throw hate around. Many of them use the "N" word in a very derrogatory manner. There used to be a thread on the old forum (which appears to be gone now) asking people what it was they hated the most. Several people said they hate Puerto Ricans, Jamaicans, African-Americans, and all that bullshit, and when I saw that, coupled with Mr. Cutthroat's drunken ragings against me because he thought deer are rats, I knew that was not the forum for me! And as for that last paragraph, there is no way you can get me to believe any of the hate and evil being promoted on that site has anything at all to do with compassion! Those dumb-clucks do all that shit to fulfill their own sadistic need to tear someone apart, whether it be African-Americans, or handicapped people, or nice people, whathaveyou!

Call me old-fashioned if you want to, but to me, to make fun of handicapped people, or treat people of other races as outcasts, instead of like equals, does not in any way constitute compassion. Unless our meanings of compassion are different. Anyone who uses the word "retarded" in reference to people who are mentally-challenged (as the people in that forum did regularly) is not IMO a good person! And they didn't seem to care that they made themselves look like a bunch of asses. They just get in that forum, and start acting loony, talking shit about everyone for some petty little reason. They are nothing but racist, arrogant air-heads! I'm glad I left that forum! I never want to go back.

Here's another part of the post that caught my attention. The claimant says:

3.) Peta-sucks.com has repeatedly defamed and libeled claimant. Such acts have caused harm in my life, office or trade. Members of this forum are residents of my community and as such privy to the malicious material. Additionally the open nature of the Internet allows these libelous statements to reach my area of dominant influence.

The admin replies:

Prove it.
Also, if this is the case why post 11,000+ provocative, intimidating and vindictive statements on the internet in the first place?

Well, I can probably answer her question. The claimant probably made the same mistake I did of trying to fit in there! It's impossible to be accepted by people who are blind to their own faults and failures! That's why the members of PETA-Sucks are so difficult to get along with! They have so many faults and are not aware of any of them, so they lash out at people for basically behaving the same way they do. I used to see this syndrome all the time on show breeder forums! Maybe we should name it "Showbreederitis". hehehe! Or "Petasucksitis", characterized by a lack of class and understanding, a severe level of immaturity, hatred of innocent people, prone to immediate and unprovoked rages, etc.

Are You Afraid Of The Dark?

Well, Halloween has come and gone. My sis and I went to a community Halloween party. It was FUN!! I was watching something last night, and it was about why we are afraid of the dark. It's actually a quite common fear. I think it dates back to our primeval days, when we still had long tails and lived in the trees. There are not many nocturnal primates. About 3/4 of all primates are active during the day. About half of the remainder are prosimians. Half of the prosimians in the world are nocturnal, and only one species of monkey is also nocturnal. None of the apes are. Predatory mammals have always been more active at night. In the earliest days of primate evolution, the biggest threat at night more likely came from snakes, owls, and good sized miacids (which are early carnivores). It was during this time in evolution that primates began to evolve to become more active during the day. This saved them from nocturnal predators. Though nowadays, snakes can hunt during the day as well, they "see" better at night. But it's because of these early threats from night-time predators that we are diurnal inhabitants today.

Those primates that are active at night, most of them are small and relatively slow-moving, with a few exceptions, like bushbabies. This is because for some reason, primates' eyes are not designed to see in the dark. But all nocturnal primates have very large eyes. The slowest-moving primates of all are the lorises. They are tiny, compact creatures. Some even look cuddly. The slow loris is today's only known poisonous primate. Before this theory came into place, I had already imagined up another relatively slow-moving and toxic primate family, which will be presented on my Metazoic site. I sure come up with some pretty darn good theories!!! This, I have to admit, even scared me!! I never thought that science today would come up with a primate that is toxic! I thought that was something that only I, and my crazy mind, would think up!

I was watching a video on YouTube and it was about an owl that took a pomeranian dog. I could not believe the level of negativity among the viewers of that video! Most of them said that they wished the owl had killed the dog, simply because it was a pomeranian. They thought of pomeranians as being "rats", saying they are ankle-nippers, yappers, and annoying and saying they aren't "real" dogs, and shit like that. I'll tell you, people like that are full of BS! To them, if it isn't a labrador or some other shit breed like that, then it isn't worth saving. Well, I love owls!! I love ALL birds, I've never seen a bird I didn't love. We have owls around here, barred owls. I see them a lot now whenever I go out in the evening. They are beautiful, adorable birds! But I am sorry, if an owl tries to take one of my chihuahuas or my papillon, I will take my sister's cane and go out there and bash the bird in the head, without any hint of hesitation! I love owls, but I love my babies more. It's them or the owl, and there are plenty other owls out there. But there's only one Vegas, and one Minnie, and one Odessa, and I'm not going to lose them! Not like that! I have a special connection with Vegas, I raised him from birth. And Odessa is his mom, so I cannot let anything happen to her. Plus Odessa is my one remaining connection with Groucho. Having her here, I almost feel like I still have Groucho with me. And Minnie has helped me a lot in getting over losing my Groucho. So I value my dogs, very deeply.

And this stupid thing about pomeranians not being "real" dogs, that's probably the stupidest remark I've ever heard!! Sounds like something the people on the PETA Sucks forum would say! That's why I hated it there. They claimed they loved animals, but the longer I stayed on that forum, the more contrary they proved to be. That was a negative forum anyway! Anyways, just because a dog is small does not mean it isn't a dog. I like small dogs. I can't stand these so-called gun dogs that everybody else seems to favor. And the thing about pomeranians being "yappy", my poms were never that yappy. My dogs for some reason never turn out to be yappy, and I have little ones. Probably because I give them a lot of attention, and I crate-train them, and keep them inside. But let me tell you, when we lived in Olympia, one of our neighbors that moved in just before we moved out, had these 2 big walker hounds that did nothing but bark, all day and all night, at anything! Whether it was someone walking by, or a leaf falling out of a tree, or a tiny gust of wind whisking through their ears. They didn't care, they always barked. I wanted to shoot those damn dogs!!! And they had a bark that was much worse than anything my dogs ever let off, and it was loud barking too!! So, these dumbasses who bitch about pomeranians and chihuahuas being yappy and say that big dogs are not, has never lived next to someone with hound dogs!

Another neighbor I had had a labrador/GSD cross that also barked a lot, and this is a breed that these bitches love (the labrador part anyway). But another one of my neighbors confessed that my chihuahuas were not anywhere near as annoying as that labrador-mixed dog was. So, these labrador-lovers can bite on that one! My dogs bark for sure when someone comes to the door, but for the most part, they are quiet. I used to get more complaints about my collie, back when I had one, than I ever did about my chihuahuas. Anyone who says big dogs don't have an annoying bark is either lying, has never had a big dog, or is f*cking stupid and sees only corruption in things they don't like. Either way, these people look like dumbasses bitching about a pomeranian, which BTW, I am glad someone jumped in to save from the owl.

Well, I've never been famous for staying on topic for anything! LOL! My topic can change at the drop of a hat.

Another Strange Story

This might change on Sunday, when hopefully Animal Planet will have a real scary story on The Haunted. Sunday is Halloween. While I haven't had an official theme this year like I did last year, I have been occasionally bringing up ghost stories that I have either not thought of in years, or I talk about ones I have seen on TV. This one was inspired by an article. And unlike last year, I haven't seen Kenny trolling around. And really, I've been trying to be good this year and not clutter up this blog with stories about trolls. Honestly, I haven't seen Kenny since that last episode. Oh well! Not that he is missed. hehe!

Well anyway, this story was inspired by an article I saw yesterday. There is a phenomenon called "phantom hitch-hikers" and it is more of an urban legend than a true ghost story. Though there are some connections with ghosts, like the story of Resurrection Mary. We all know about her! It is the restless spirit of a young teenage woman who was killed in an accident in 1930, and today wanders the highway in front of Resurrection Cemetary in Chicago, looking for someone to give her a ride home. Home usually winds up being back in the cemetary. Well, that's one story. But there have been some much more dramatic stories of phantom hitch hikers. They have actually been reported for centuries, and told in many variations in many parts of the world. The stories almost always are basically the same though. Like a hitch hiker is picked up, and disappears while the car is moving. No talking is usually involved, and it's like the person is there one minute and gone the next.

The only time talking has ever been involved is if the hitch-hiker is some kind of a prophet. Then they foretell some kind of disaster. One of the most interesting in my point of view, was about an old woman who was seen along interstate 5, who told of the eruption of Mount St. Helens in 1980. She apparently accurately predicted the eruption and said that it was a warning from GOD for the PNW. Just before she would disappear from the speeding car, she would say those who did not return to the fold could expect to perish volcanically in the very near future. Then she was gone. I never saw this hitch-hiker, I kinda wish I had though. She would have been interesting to see!

But there are some stories of these phantom hitch-hikers that do not involve ghosts or spirits. In Hawaii, the goddess Pele is so important to the people, she created the islands by ruling the volcanos. But she has often  been seen on the highway too in the form of a beautiful, young native woman. It is believed that if you see her, and you pick her up, good things will happen to you. But if you see her and you don't pick her up, disaster will come to you. In Arab countries, people who drive semi-trucks sometimes pick up hitch-hikers to keep them awake at the wheel. Well, there have been reports of these truckers picking up jinis (or jeanies), which take the form of beautiful young women on the side of the highway. They usually only appear to men. The women get into the truck and make conversation. At some point during the ride, the driver will look over to her only to discover that to his horror, the woman has the legs of a goat! When he discovers this, the woman usually laughs hysterically and then disappears. How would you feel if you saw something like that?? LOL!

I remember a long time ago when Arthur C. Clark's Mysterious World used to come on, I heard a story of a taxi driver who was riding along a dirt road in open country one dark night. Up the road his headlights spotted a man, who was dressed in tattered farmer duds, and the driver said his face looked normal, except that it was white as a sheet. He stopped and asked the mysterious man if he wanted a lift anywhere. The man never spoke, but got into the car and sat in the passenger's seat. The driver asked the man where he wanted to go, and the man just pointed foreward up the road. The driver tried to engage in conversation, but the mysterious man would not say a word at all. As the driver was coming to a fork in the road, he turned to ask the man which way he wanted to go, and the man was no longer there. The driver never even heard the door open or shut, and the man was gone without a trace! The driver got scared and booked it out of that area!

Some of these stories that involve spirits of the dead, the spirit often takes something that belongs to the driver that picked them up, usually a coat or something, and it turns up on the headstone of that hitch-hiker the next day. The spirits are often seen hitch-hiking on the anniversary of their death, and usually their death was caused by some kind of vehicular accident. So if you are going down the highway at night, and you see a hitch-hiker looking for a lift, you may want to keep on driving and not pick them up.

Official Announcement!!!

OK, I am officially announcing this game. hehe! Let's see how many people take me up on my offer. I recently made a video about why I hate show breeders. Of course I do talk about the good that show breeders do. But at the end, I also make a challenge to people about confronting show breeders. So it gave me the idea for this game. The number 1 rule to this game is watch this video!!



The number 2 rule to this game is get a video camera and go to a show. Any kind of show, either a dog show or a cat show, I don't care. But go there with the interest of breeding in mind.

I will personally give anyone $100, via PayPal, that goes up to a well-established, winning show breeder, and shows an interest in breeding the breed of their choice and does NOT get looked at by that show breeder like some kind of a pest. Here's the catch:

1. This has to be your VERY FIRST TIME EVER, going to a dog or cat show. So you cannot know the breeder personally.
2. You must ask the winner (BOB winner) this question: I am interested in breeding *insert breed of choice here*, can you mentor me? (Ask that exactly, do not add words or leave any out, except for those italicized, replace those with the name of the breed you want to breed).
3. It absolutely MUST be a video, no still pictures accepted, and if the breeder asks you to turn the camera off, you're out!
4. No editing films, no rehearsing, if it looks rehearsed, I will not accept it. You can submit more than one clip, but they must be un-edited.
5. It has to be a breeder that has won BOB in at least 5 shows, and has mentored before (ask them if they have).
6. If the breeder says no, or gives you a disgusted look, or tells you to "come back later when you have a better specimen of the breed", or refers you to somebody else, you're out!
7. If the breeder smiles or laughs with you (not at you) I will even add an extra $50 to your winnings.

I am offering this because I'm telling you, no newbie is going to be able to do it. I know most of the chihuahua breeders, the ones with the best reputation will not do any of these things. I know because I wanted to learn from one of the best. The ones who will help you are the ones that the people with the best reputations frown on. Though I don't know why. If every show breeder was as anxious to help as some of these that get frowned on by the big-wigs were, we would not have puppymills or backyard breeders!

A good example of this is a breeder, who did show regularly, that I liked, I'll call her Mary, allowed me to breed my dog to one of her's. One of her best ones actually. The stud hadn't been shown, but he's produced many a show-stopping young! Well, when I brought up that I bred my dog to her's to Rita, the breeder I mention in this video, Rita basically told me that Mary will let her dogs breed to anyone who comes to her with the money. Even if that were true, it was a horrible thing to say! I wish more show breeders were like Mary! Like I said if they were, we wouldn't have so many people breeding bad specimens of their breeds. But every show breeder looks at every newbie like a pest, and I think when they do that, it does more harm than good! That's another thing I point out in this video. A person should be educated, not turned away like a punished child! I like the show breeders who educate and treat newbies like gold. I don't like the ones like Rita, who has mentored in the past, but only people who already have acquired exceptional specimens of the breed. And, if you are a newbie, to acquire a good specimen of your breed from a show breeder, for the purpose of breeding, is no easy task! I'm sure it used to be, but it's not anymore. Even some of the people who used to be frowned upon are getting cautious.

An example of this would be this one lady I sold a pup to some time back. I'll call her Sally. Sally also got a pup from a breeder who showed, but I later found out was also frowned upon by the big-name breeders. She went to Rita and asked for mentoring, Rita took a look at the pup I sold her, and said no. But when Sally showed her the pup she got from this other breeder, who was good, but frowned on by other show breeders, then Rita finally agreed to mentor Sally. Though Sally told me that Rita did like the father's side pedigree (the mother admittedly was a backyard breeder dog), but we sold the pup to her as a pet. When she bought it, I had no idea she wanted to breed for show. Sally never told me that. If she had, I would never have sold her that pup. I believe Sally told me she wanted to breed, just not for show. Now, even that breeder that Sally got her exceptional specimen from will not sell a good quality dog to you for the purpose of breeding unless you have actually shown before. And this isn't whining or bitching, this is TRUTH!! I promise you! And I believe it's going to cause the demise of the chihuahua breed, and encourage newbies who want to breed chihuahuas to go to backyard breeders. What would counteract this is if instead of saying "I'm not going to sell you a good dog for breeding when you haven't shown before!" Show breeders should say "OK, I will sell you one of my best females, only if you promise to find a good mentor and learn to breed the right way." Then have that client give you the name of the person they find to mentor them, and if it's someone the breeder knows, then they can rest assured. I realize you can sell a dog to someone and they make promises they do not keep, but if they do not carry out their assigned task, the breeder can always take back the pup. Just don't sell to someone who gives you a fake address (there are ways of finding out) or a PO box.

So if a show breeding mentor will not educate anyone unless they already have a show-worthy specimen of their breed, then who are they going to educate?? That doesn't make sense to me. But I will definitely give anyone the money who films themself talking to a show breeder and can get that show breeder to mentor them. But more likely, I will be correct in my prediction that NO newbie will be able to do it. But I will give the winner $100, and I will announce that winner on this blog, and even show the winning video. Send your entries to staff@umgproductions.com

Python Ban

There is a serious threat in the making. The only thing that can stop it is your votes. It is a ban on exotic pets, which is a billion dollar industry, and keeps a lot of people in jobs. For example, a business that I am subscribed to on YouTube, actually 2 of them. Snake Bytes and Viperkeeper. If this bill is passed through, this could mean not only a lot of people will lose billions of dollars a year, but also people like me won't be able to keep snakes, lizards and frogs as pets! Well! Frogs are not really pets, per se, but I do so enjoy having them around!! I also love my snakes, and took a sigh of relief when we decided we are not going to move to Bozeman yet, and won't have to live with someone else. So I get to keep my beloved snakes! I am so glad!! But bills like this piss me off!!!

While I will agree that the big pythons, like the burmese and rectics, are a problem in southern Florida, it's not fair to punish those of us who do not live in Florida from having the species we want to have! While I myself have no interest in the large constrictors, next thing you know, they will start banning the smaller colubrid constrictors, next they will work on the lizards and already they are working on frogs! And it's not just the herp industry that is going to suffer. Before you know it, all kinds of pets will be banned! Pit bulls are already banned in some states, next will be rottweilers, german shepherds, doberman pinschers, maybe even chihuahuas! They'll start off with the big animals and work their way all the way down to domestic cats, which are just as responsible for killing small wildlife throughout the country, as the feral pythons are for killing wildlife in Florida!! Once the PETArds discover that and put 2 and 2 together, don't be surprised if they do work on passing a bill that will ban the ownership of cats!! And yes, I truly believe PETA is to blame for this bill even being thought up! Simply because it sounds like something they would do!

The thing with this bill is it represents a lot of our basic freedoms being taken away from us. First they ban all pet ownerships, next they ban some other little pleasures that make life worthwhile. Next thing you know, you cannot step outside your home without having to call the government and ask for permission! Then hope to GOD they give it to you! I'd be surprised if, by the year 2100, we're even still allowed to use the bathroom in public facilities without asking for permission from the dang government!! It's ridiculous and unscrupulous!!! I blame PETA for bringing up the python ban, but I also blame irresponsible people too! It is them that gives responsible pet owners like me a bad name! And it is they that gives reason to put a ban on some animals. It may be some now, but there will be more later on.

If you ask me, people need to stop taking PETA so seriously!! If you knew what PETA was all about, you wouldn't. You would think that they would take the millions they get a year and do something constructive with it, but no. They hire dumbass models to stand naked out in the road and say they'd rather be naked than wear furs. Or mislead the public saying that vegetarians have better sex, which is a direct lie! Eating too much vegetation actually lowers your ability to reproduce or even get aroused, not enhances it. During the time my grandma was a child, people reproduced like crazy, no one was a strict vegetarian, except my grandma. Then grandma had only one child (confirmed). LOL! Long story there. PETA tells people only what they want them to hear, half-truths, innuendos, yadda-yadda-yadda. Basically PETA is full of bull! Their so-called "facts" are not really facts, they are only half the facts. One thing I can tell you for sure, most vegetarians are dumb! So, this leads me to believe that there is something that we need in meat to inhibit proper brain-function. Something that you either cannot find at all in vegetables, or you can't get enough of from veggies unless you eat like 20-pounds of veggies in a sitting or something. Of course you can take supplements, which is unnatural! If I'm going to do that, why not just eat the meat?? Meat tastes a LOT better than a handful of vitamin pills!!

But anyway, please contact your congressman and tell him that you will not vote for him (or her) if he (or she) is going to push for the python ban in all states! Once this freedom is taken away, who knows what will happen next?? I don't live in Florida, and have no intention or desire to, so I should be allowed to have whatever kind of snake (or any exotic) I choose to have.

NO TO HR2811!!!!

More Scary Ghost Stories!

I was just now watching The Haunted on Animal Planet. It's one of my favorite AP shows. Wow! This woman had one very disturbed spirit!! He liked to torture cats in his former life, and this woman was a cat owner! What a nightmare! But that wasn't what really got to me, I was more attracted to the idea of these people using something called a "ghost box". They said it was an AM radio that was altered to pick up the sounds of the spirit world. When they mentioned this device, I was like "So that's what I used to hear!!" It made me remember an experience, or several, that happened when I was a kid. It was in the early 80s. There wasn't much in the way of FM channels back then, so I used to listen to AM instrumental music. At that time, I wasn't into rock n roll music. There was a DJ that took over the station, but usually, he only spoke a few words, and it was always either before or after the music played. The reception on the one station I always listened to was good, though a wee bit of static. Though not enough that I could not hear the music and make it out.

Well, I can recall several times when I would be sitting in my bedroom, working on something and listening to the music on the radio. Then strangely, I would hear a very faint droning sound, which sounded like talking. It was distinct from the music I heard, but I could not make out what was being said. It was usually during those bouts that the static would become a bit more fierce, though I could still hear the music. It was not the DJ, I knew that. Since this was an all instrumental music station, there was no singing on the songs, and besides, it didn't sound like singing. And the surrounding channels had nothing at all. So this was definitely coming from a different source than the radio station. It was weird! The voices I heard were very faint, and sounded like choruses of different individuals just standing around and talking, as if in a convention hall or something. But I could not make out what was being said. Not at all.

When the show mentioned something about a ghost box, it made me think back to that, and I wondered how long have those ghost boxes been in use by ghost hunters? Because my experiences happened back in the early 80s. I used to think I was just hearing things. But I had a friend over once and they said that they heard the voices too. And they would stop once I turned the radio off. Sometimes I could even hear them faintly while the DJ was talking. That was the strangest thing. And once we got FM radio and I started listening to it, I didn't hear those voices over the radio anymore. I know what the so-called "funny people" are thinking; "Oh, now she's finally admitting she's hearing voices in her head and she's psychotic!" But that is not the case. My friend heard the same thing I did, and that friend was perfectly sane, and probably more mature than I was.

1. BEAT IT WITH A REAL JO-BRO - m4m
(This is a Michael Jackson fan looking for another Michael Jackson fan to "beat it" with!)
 
I'm a serious bro looking for a equally/more serious bro with fancy footwork. The idea is to tie our wrists together ala the "Beat It" video and then each JO/knife fight in a profound spiritual act of consensual hetero awesomeness. I would have done this way sooner but have little faith in humanity.


Requirements:
-access to an abandoned warehouse
-old enough/built kinda awesome
-maintains good eye contact
-general intensity
-cool moves
-shades
-leather jackets ( I had to give the one in the pic back - long story, I can tell you when we finish)
-Bedazzler
-basic knowledge of knife/sword/bat fight etiquette (I can teach you what I know if you are pretty serious about art like me)
-can lift 80 lbs
-bachelor's in something or equivalent experience
-not a narc


Whereas dudes/J-ing O are both undeniably awesome, I'm a straight bro. As in not gay. I just really love MJ and being open minded about new JO scenarios. We will basically play "Beat It" over and over again while we JO and dance, occasionally parrying/thrusting. Winner finishes the most times, but points will be awarded for finishing first/accuracy. If you're the heter-bro I'm looking for, then we can JO furiously/competitively and then just hang or whatever. I've got laser tag too. I'm pretty serious about this. As in completely serious. If you touch my junk with anything but your own I will BF you in the M. Nerds/gays need not apply. I'M NOT GAY.
P.S. - And I've gotten with hot chicks as recently as just now.

"They told him don't you ever come around here
Don't wanna see your face, you better disappear
The fire's in their eyes and their words are really clear
So beat it, just beat it"

2. My Porn Watching Pig Boyfriend
(I wonder how this guy's coffee did taste that morning?)

So you like watching these porn-sluts get pounded and creamed? OK, I get it, I kind of like some of that too. It's rather entertaining, if not slightly disturbing/fascinating to WATCH.
But now you're getting all fucked up with me, and although I keep taking it from you, you're probably on the way out, and I'm trying to think of ways to get you back. Because, at the end of the day, the "new" hardcore is rather degrading, and there are too many limits being pushed. Here are a few of mine that keep getting tested:
1) If you don't stop slapping my tits and pinching my nipples that way, you won't ever see them again. I hope you like my parka, cause it's going to become my new lingerie.
2) Don't ever spit on my face again, I think I made that clear, sorry about the sore balls.
3) I used to feel proud that I could swallow, now I feel pretty gross after you dick whip me and make me eat it off your cock and fingers like it's punishment. I would do all that for you anyway, but when you hold my hair and call me names and make me, there's that line I was talking about.
4) Pussy to mouth is kind of freaky, I'm totally ok with that. Ass to mouth is something else altogether, stop even joking about it. If you should ever decide to "forge ahead" with that one and see how it goes, I'll bite your fucking dick off, I swear I will. If I don't manage that in the moment, I'll get you in your sleep.
Thanks for listening sweetheart. By the way how did your coffee taste this morning?

3. Looking for a beard mentor
(An ad from an inexperienced beard-owner. He should be horsewhipped for growing a beard before being educated!)

I've had a moustache and beard off and on over the years, and I've tried styling it in the past but I just can't seem to get it to the next level. I'm looking for some srs protips with this, as well as possibly some styling services by someone with skilled hands. Please submit to me your beard/moustache resume. Also if you have pictures of you achievements that would be greatly appreciated.
I'm currently having trouble with getting my handlebar working correctly as well as keeping the sideburns even.
This is 'srs bsns' (serious business) as I've been informed I need to style it up, shave it off, or loose my job. (I work in adult daycare.)

4. Penis Measuring
(Need 50 extra dollars? Become a professional penis-measurer with one e-mail!)
 
A friend of mine and I have been having a long-standing argument about whose penis is larger. We've tried having our girlfriends confirm to the other the exact size, but neither one of us buy it. I don't want to see his penis and he doesn't want to see mine. I don't want my girlfriend looking at his penis and he doesn't was his looking at mine.
So... We just need a girl to look at both of our penises (individually) and then to both of our faces say which one is bigger. We can't pay much. $50.

5. Sea Monkeys
(Double-standards seller!)

Please rescue my son's Sea Monkeys.
The Sea Monkeys were a well-intentioned gift from a relative, but my son has poor vision and can't see them at all, so they've become Mommy's problem. We are moving and I have no idea how to transport them across the state- plus, I don't care. So, they would love a new owner. They come with their tank, food and food scooping spoon, and a little syringe and keychain thing in case someone wanted to suck Sea Monkeys out of the tank and carry them around for some reason. As shown except that our tank is red, not blue, and that the eggs have already been hatched.
They would be a great dorm pet as they don't take up any space and are quiet. Really, they would be a good pet for anyone. I'm not picky, I don't think they are either.
I realize that people feed Sea Monkeys to fish and such, and I have no problem with that, but I'm not interested in giving these creatures away for that purpose simply because it seems like a waste of all the plastic crap that comes with them. So please only take them if you actually want to keep them.
Thank you!
**Please do no flag and tell me this belongs in pets. Seriously- they're Sea Monkeys. Come on.

7. Thanks For Shitting Your Pants
(Don't ever have an accident in front of this woman!!)

I was in line at that dreadful Comcast customer service pit to return my modem and cancel service anyway. My mind was made up. For all the reasons I don't have to list here, FUCK COMCAST. My building got wireless service recently. I'm done. The guy on the phone didn't do a good job at saving my account.
"How does $42 a month sound?"
"Can you beat free?" I inquired. I asked him if I could send the modem back in the mail and avoid the trip to their drop-off center.
"No."
Whatever. Getting the $56 a month monkey off my back felt good no matter what. I had no regrets at all. You sealed the deal when you shit your pants.
That was seriously nasty. Everyone thought it was the little kid at first, but I knew right away it was you. I know I can't blame Comcast for whatever it is that makes you unable to control your bowels. I know that line was long and the service fairly slow. People have complicated fucking issues with their cable and phone. That line was an audition for the Jerry Springer show ( I mean that in a loving way), complete with a woman who shits her pants. That was unreal, lady, just unreal. I know you did it while you were standing in line because you didn't smell that rotten when I took my place in line behind you.


Granted, that customer-service counter IS a remarkably good place to shit your pants. The carpet is filthy. The walls have been smeared by the hands of innumerable children. You can't help but notice right away that the customer service agents are behind glass. Lashonda gets mad when the account be closed. No big deal, really. I enjoy the pagent of human existence. I suppose even to include the lady who shit her pants yesterday afternoon. Comcast is too cheap to buy a rope line, so people line up as they see fit and let the kids roam free.


Holy fuck that stunk,and the line wasn't going anywhere. 15 mintues of that was enough to upset my cast-iron stomach. I trained on a vast UNDERGROUND fish market in Asia; I know what stench is. I couldn't back up, either. The line had formed behind me in that airless chamber. The room was suffering. You could see it on the stricken face of the woman who helped you. She went in the back and threw up after you left. First, she came to the agent helping me and asked for "the spray." I guess people shit themselves often there. The people who have been standing behind me gave me sympathetic looks as I left: I had endured ground zero. My only thought was to get outside as quickly as possible.


But that really sealed the deal for me. My new wireless connection is great. And free. If I ever think I might want to go back to Comcast, all I have to do is think about the lady with scanty beard hair shitting her pants in a dingy lobby and I'll return to my senses right away.
Imagine what her car smells like?

8. Free stuffed walrus head
(Father-love!)

This walrus head has been in my family for years. I have never liked it. It was given to me by my father in his will. I'm sure it's his idea of a way to get back at me for my alternative lifestyle that he never aproved of. I'm going to throw this in the dumpster if I don't get rid of it by the end of the week. I can't even sleep with this thing in my house so I'll be awake all night, feel free to give me a call at any time to let me know when you can come pick it up.

9. Litter box cleaning for pancakes

10. Orange Popsicles
(He's even conveniently included his own FAQs!!)
 
Okay, it's Craigslist. One day you can have free fill dirt (you haul), the next day it's tons of moving boxes all in good shape.
Well, today it's orange popsicles (all in good shape, you haul).
A regular box of popsicles includes cherry (my favorite), grape (so-so) and orange. I don't like the orange ones. I'm a grown-up and I don't have to eat them if I don't want to. On the other hand I can't bring myself to throw them away and I don't have children or grandchildren living in the area to give them to (assuming they would like them).
I currently have a bunch of orange popsicles in my freezer. If you want them,, let me know. If you are paranoid about them, you probably shouldn't be looking for free things on Craigslist in the first place. However, keep in mind they are all "factory sealed" and whoever takes them probably isn't going to end up on the 6:00 news because they were poisoned to death by orange popsicles.
Someone is going to want these things, so you better hurry. If things work out, maybe we could develop a "popsicles are ready for pickup" relationship whereby I send you an E-mail whenever the freezer overfloweth.
Keep in mind that a box of 24 popsicles costs about $4.50 and you are only getting 1/3 of a box...or in this case 1/3 of several boxes. The point is I don't think you should consider driving from Estes Park for the orange popsicles. However, if you do and you are first, I will give them to you.

FAQ:
Q: Are the orange popsicles sugar free?
A: Do I SOUND like someone why buys sugar free popsicles? No, they aren't.
Q. How many orange popsicles are currently available?
A. As of 3:15 on 1/27 I have 17 of them.
First person to respond gets all of them!

And my own personal favorite:
