It's been awhile since i wrote here. *sigh* there's so much to say, but then again not, ya know!?!
Well, My sister & her bf come home for the holidays tomorrow. Actually in about 6 hours from now. :D So we're gonna get together & do x-mas again. probably have a Kevin-cooked dinner. (hopefully)

So, let's see, what has been happening? Well, Kevin got a GREAT bonus from work *yay* & they're gonna talk to him after the first of the year about taking over Dave's old job, which is kinda cool cuz he's been working soooo much. Hopefully they'll make it worth his while. & he's gonna be working 3 or 4 days a week instead of all afternoons.

too tired to write anymore. I must take a shower & get ready to go pick Kevin up from work in a few :D. I'll write more tomorrow or something. *hugs*

Alcoholic Christmas tree

okay, i talked way too much about my cute Israeli man. *blush* I'm over the initial crush stage i think.

I just finished watching "A Walk To Remember" with Mandy Moore. It was wonderful!!! She was amazing in it . . . and i bawled my eyes out. Which is exactly what i needed. Now i must watch Mr. Deeds.

OH!!! Did i tell you!!??!! I FINALLY got to meet fruit last night. YAY! She came up to Vito's with us. She's such a sweetie :D and I'm so glad we got to meet before she went back to Pennsylvania :D It's a shame we didn't meet before last night, but I know it's gonna be good for her to go back to where her family is & we can always go visit her. It's not that far. Somewhere near Scranton, is what she said. (BTW . . . fruit's RL name is Mary Jo :p~ )

So, we went to Vito's & sang & she's really really good!! She sang the Dawson's Creek song (which is really hard) and sounded BEAUTIFUL!!! MJ wasn't happy about it, but i know i'm my own worst critic too. Then we hung at the Black Sheep for a little bit & then came home & hung out here for awhile. Kevin passed out on the couch. LOL. Sitting up no less! It was funny :D

Okay, time to watch movie #2. I still kinda need to cry, but I think I'll be okay until, say Monday.

*sigh* my cute Israeli man is busy at work, and i think Dali is ready to go to bed (so she's asleep before her hubby wakes up & he doesn't think she's been playing all night :D) i'm kinda bummed cuz i was getting used to seeing Arik's face on my screen. He's kinda cute. Oh . . . wait . . . i think i said that already :D See, my brain is getting tired. But i can't go to sleep cuz i gotta leave in 1 1/2 hours now.

OH! he's back!! YAY!! must go talk now :D

So, I rented a movie last night to watch today that will HOPEFULLY make me cry rivers & rivers of tears. Why? you ask. Because i feel the need to just cry & cry & cry. I don't know if it's depression, or hormones, or stress, or what. . . but i keep thinking about how the greeks in ancient times used to hold play festivals with like a whole day of tragedies & then a whole day of comedies. They felt that it was cleansing to the person if they had this HUGE emotional outlet. Kinda like "cinematherapy" on the "Women's Entertainment" channel. So i think that's what i need in order to get over this hump. I've been feeling useless & listless & i seriously just wanna sleep. I'm pretty sure, now that i'm writing this out, that it's depression. And probably the whole not being able to sleep thing is stress because it's getting close to when i'm gonna have to do work force here in Wyandotte & i am SO NOT wanting to do that. Not in the least. I can only hope that there's really bad weather on the Mondays I have to do it so that we have to work inside :D (i hope i hope i hope)

You know, sometimes i really miss writing in a journal. the feel of the pen on paper. It was good times to write in there. I can still remember the way i felt when reading the words. Cuz it's not just putting the ideas & thoughts down in permanent form . . . it's kinda the way your handwriting is as well. I could tell if i was happy or sad or hurried or relaxed. you know what i mean? With the computer it's all fine and dandy & i like it cuz i feel like i can write faster (altho I don't write nearly as much as i should), but when i look back on things, altho I can remember kinda how i felt, I don't get that visual affermation. Does that make sense?? I sure hope so. cuz it's 4:30 in the A.M and i STILL can't get to sleep!!!

lol. here i am. another night of not being able to sleep. I can't understand it AT ALL!! I was so tired yet my brain refuses to stop. I have to take Kevin into work today @ 7:30AM!!!!! *ugh* so i might not even go to sleep. I might just stay up & play neopets. I have someone to talk to now anyway :D.

His name is Arik & he's in Israel (so right now it's . . . something like 11am . . . i think) Anyway, he seems pretty cool AND he plays Neopets :D . . . and he's kinda cute ;)
I know . . . i know . . . shame on me. I'm not thinking anything romantic. I love my Kevin very much. But it doesn't hurt to talk. He seems very intelligent & loves to have political debates with people. As i am not very politically-minded . . . okay . . . really not at all anymore . . . i would lose because i don't know enough facts to have strong opinions about certain things.

And how ironic is it that i'm talking to someone from Isreal whe i was all about Hanukkah just last week ;)

And i can't help but think that Jayson would get a kick outta this . . . well except for the fact that he's (arik) not a Mexican :D

*grumblegrumble* Y!M keeps disconnecting & reconnecting at will. I'm sure it has something to do with the firewall I'm running, but i can't fix it right now. Brain tired. Must try to go to sleep soon.

Kevin has to work at 8:30 A.M. today (meaning thursday) !!!! I've been working on my xmas cards. I hope people appreciate the extra work i put into them. I think they are gonna be WAY cool. Probably the best EVER!! (okay, maybe not THAT good, but good nonetheless)

AND . . . I was watching FoodTV (cuz there's nuthing else on) And it was Food911 with a breakfast dilemma. So now I'm totally craving some hashbrowns & eggs with some sausage :p~. *grumblegrumble* And i HAVE to go to work today cuz i didn't go yesterday. I think I'm catching what Kevin has & that's not good. Good news is . . . I can take kevin in and come home to crash for a couple of hours. Bad news . . . I have to make sure I'm awake to be able to take him in :p~.

Santa's Secret Wish


On Christmas Eve, a young boy with light in his eyes
Looked deep into Santa's, to Santa's surprise
And said as he sat on Santa's broad knee,
"I want your secret. Tell it to me."

He leaned up and whispered in Santa's good ear
"How do you do it, year after year?"
"I want to know how, as you travel about,
Giving gifts here and there, you never run out.

How is it, Dear Santa, that in your pack of toys
You have plenty for all of the world's girls and boys?
Stays so full, never empties, as you make your way
around the whole world, The reindeer pulling your sleigh

From rooftop to rooftop, to homes large and small,
From nation to nation, reaching them all?"
And Santa smiled kindly and said to the boy,
"Don't ask me hard questions. Don't you want a toy?"

But the child shook his head, and Santa could see
That he needed the answer. "Now listen to me,"
He told that small boy with the light in his eyes,
"My secret will make you sadder and wise.

"The truth is that my sack is magic. Inside
It holds millions of toys for my Christmas Eve ride.
But although I do visit each girl and each boy
I don't always leave them a gaily wrapped toy.

Some homes are hungry, some homes are sad,
Some homes are desperate, some homes are bad.
Some homes are broken, and the children there grieve.
Those homes I visit, but what should I leave?

"My sleigh is filled with the happiest stuff,
But for homes where despair lives toys aren't enough.
So I tiptoe in, kiss each girl and boy,
And I pray with them that they'll be given the joy

Of the spirit of Christmas, the spirit that lives
In the heart of the dear child who gets not, but gives.
"If only God hears me and answers my prayer,
When I visit next year, what I will find there

Are homes filled with peace, and with giving, and love
And boys and girls gifted with light from above.
It's a very hard task, my smart little brother,
To give toys to some, and to give prayers to others.

But the prayers are the best gifts, the best gifts indeed,
For God has a way of meeting each need.
"That's part of the answer. The rest, my dear youth,
Is that my sack is magic. And that is the truth.

In my sack I carry on Christmas Eve day
More love than a Santa could ever give away.
The sack never empties of love, or of joys
`Cause inside it are prayers, and hope. Not just toys.

The more that I give, the fuller it seems,
Because giving is my way of fulfilling dreams.
"And do you know something? You've got a sack, too.
It's as magic as mine and it's inside of you.

It never gets empty, it's full from the start.
It's the center of lights, and love. It's your heart.
And if on this Christmas you want to help me,
Don't be so concerned with the gifts 'neath your tree.

Open that sack called your heart, and share
Your joy, your friendship, your wealth, your care."
The light in the small boy's eyes was glowing.
"Thanks for your secret. I've got to be going."

"Wait, little boy," Said Santa, "don't go.
Will you share? Will you help? Will you use what you know?"
And just for a moment the small boy stood still,
Touched his heart with his small hand and whispered, "Oh yes I will."

Flavour from the Holidays

courtesy of Connie



I hate this time of year. Not for its crass commercialism
and forced frivolity, but because it's the season when
the food police come out with their wagging fingers and
annual tips on how to get through the holidays without
gaining 10 pounds. You can't pick up a magazine
without finding a list of holiday Dos and Don'ts.
Eliminate second helpings, high calorie sauces and
cookies made with butter, they say. Fill up on vegetable
sticks, they say. Good grief. Is your favorite childhood
memory of Christmas a carrot stick? I didn't think so.
Isn't mine, either. A carrot was something you left for
Rudolph. I have my own list of tips for holiday eating. I
assure you, if you follow them, you'll be fat and happy.
So what if you don't make if to New Year's? Your pants
don't fit anymore, anyway.

1. About those carrot sticks. Avoid them. Anyone who
puts carrots on a holiday buffet table knows nothing of
the Christmas spirit. In fact, if you see carrots, leave
immediately. Go next door, where they're serving rum
balls.

2. Drink as much eggnog as you can. And quickly. Like
fine single-malt Scotch, it's rare. In fact, it's even rarer
than single-malt Scotch. You can't find it any other time
of year but now. So drink up! Who cares that it has
10,000 calories in every sip? It's not as if you're going
to turn into an eggnogaholic or something. It's a treat.
Enjoy it. Have one for me. Have two. It's later than you
think. It's Christmas!

3. If something comes with gravy, use it. That's the
whole point of gravy. Gravy does not stand alone.
Pour it on. Make a volcano out of your mashed potatoes.
Fill it with Gravy. Eat the volcano. Repeat.


4. As for mashed potatoes, always ask if they're made
with skim milk or whole milk. If it's skim, pass. Why
bother? It's like buying a sports car with automatic
transmission.

5. Do not have a snack before going to a party in an
effort to control your eating. The whole point of going
to a Christmas party is to eat other people's food for
free. A lot of it. Hello? Remember college?

6. Under no circumstances should you exercise
between Christmas and New Year's. You can do that
in January when you have nothing else to do. This is
the time for long naps, which you'll need after circling
the buffet table carrying a 10-pound plate of food and
that vat of eggnog.

7. If you come across something really good at a buffet
table, like frosted Christmas cookies in the shape and
size of Santa, position yourself near them and don't
budge. Have as many as you can before becoming
the center of attention. They're like a beautiful pair of
shoes. You can't leave them behind. You're not going
to see them again.

8. Same for pies. Apple. Pumpkin. Mincemeat. Have a
slice of each. Or, if you don't like mincemeat, have two
apples and one pumpkin. Always have three. When else
do you get to have more than one dessert? Labor Day?

9. Did someone mention fruitcake? Granted, it's loaded
with the mandatory celebratory calories, but avoid it all
cost. I mean, have some standards, mate.

10. And one final tip: If you don't feel terrible when you
leave the party or get up from the table, you haven't
been paying attention.

Re-read tips.

Start over.

But hurry! Cookie-less January is just around the corner

Okies . . . I'm going crazy without Neo here!!!!

awwww man!!! Neo is down & i have to stay up until 9 AM!!! how the heck am i supposed to do that!?! All my friends are either asleep or at work by now and here i am :(

WOW! Theo Fleury is playing for Chicago now?!? Where have I been?!? I'm still (happily) in shock about Joey being a COACH for the Red Wings!!!

Was talking to a friend of mine & she mentioned thinking about writing a book on her life. I say "go for it!" cuz both "Riding in Cars With Boys" & "Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood" were both originally books written by women about their lives. And, as silly as this sounds, i started this blog in the hopes to find my voice to be able to write a book myself. I may never find that voice. I may never make sense to anyone but me. But I think if i do, it could be a story others could relate too. :)

got an X-mas card today from my aunt & family down in GA. Kevin looked at it and *gasped* "it's not from a Purkle Couch member!?!" No honey, it's from someone i know in the 3D world :p~

Speaking of which. . . gotta get a move on with these cards. We should have them sent out next week on Tuesday . . . Wednesday at the latest. We're gonna put little pictures of us in them (*awwww*) so everyone can see what psychos we are. :p~ j/k

so YAY!!! i get to spend some quality time with the computer!! *sigh* i have missed this thing so!!! i HATE having to go out of the house . . . especially now that it's cold & there's snow on the ground! *yuck*

but i haven't had time to blog or play Neopets & i have added responsibilities now!!! gotta shop for the holidays ;) (can't tell you who for tho. it's a secret)

my mom is so cute. I called her up to see if she would be home to be able to go ver & watch football & while we were talking i told her i wanted to celebrate Hanukkah. Instead of telling me "we aren't Jewish" she says "Oh! well, what do you need to do that?" and she offers to go buy me a minorah & candles!! isn't that just too precious!?! Yes, I am spoiled.

okay. time to take a break from the computer & get some stuff done around ehre. I need to unplug the durn thing & move the tower to the floor. It's been getting a little too hot where it is (kinda next to the heater vent. oops)(which was a good spot during the summer months cuz it's also the A/C vent ;) ) AND i hafta fix up the bedroom. *ugh* I was gonna do my cornbread, but i forgot i don't have jalapenos. So i'll make Kevin's & straighten up a little & then head to work *ugh* I really don't want to go to work.

You know what!?! I'm not GOING to go to work!! I'll get things straightened around here & get what i can done before Kevin gets home so he's not stressed or anything :) yeah. Cuz if i work alot the rest of the week, we'll be golden ;)

*bleh* too early. need more sleep. kevin went into work early today & i had to get up cuz i need the car to go to work & also to do some last minute shopping. *ugh* it's gonna be a looooong day. I have to take a nap ;) . . . THEN i have to go to detroit to pick up tamales from Evie's, go to work for at least 3 hours, get cornbread stuff, get sodas, come home, make cornbread for kevin's stuffing & then MY cornbread, make enchiladas, wash dishes, clean off the desk, straighten up the bedroom, pick kevin up @ 9pm sp he cam come home & finish his foods. i think that's it!! And tomorrow we have to wake up early too.

NAPTIME

i am soooo tired, but i can't sleep. I started having nightmares about . . . I don't even KNOW what. (in the dream) I was sleeping & heather was in the room sleeping on the floor next to our bed & kevin was sleeping on the bed next to me & I saw something shadowy flitting on the wall near our vanity mirror. I forced myself up outta bed & next to Heather on the floor to protect her (i guess) from this thing & it turned into a kinda shadowy tiger thing & i had a plant that was roses in a pot (or something) & I was using that to keep the thing at bay, but it was stronger than the magik in the plant & broke thru & started attacking Heather. Then kevin appeared & threw me a big kitchen knife & I took it and stabbed the tiger thing in the stomach & sliced it's throat. It looked at me sad & it started turning INTO Heather (like a werewolf) But it COULDN'T be Heather cuz it was attacking her seperate from itself & i reached down into it's wound & then looked down at my bloody hand & then i woke up.

And NO, I was not eating anything spicy before i went to sleep. As a matter of fact, I didn't eat anything at ALL right before bedtime. All I had to eat today was some doritos & grilled ham & cheese & bugles & potato salad at my mom's during the football game. so :p~

But, regardless, I'm not so eager to go back to bed at this moment. So i think I'll just play some Neopets & try to calm down.

How Could You?

By Jim Willis, 2001
Pre-note from Powerpets: This story was one of the first incentives to create Powerpets, to bring attention and awareness to animals

When I was a puppy, I entertained you with my antics and made you laugh. You called me your child, and despite a number of chewed shoes and a couple of murdered throw pillows, I became your best friend.

Whenever I was "bad," you'd shake your finger at me and ask "How could you?" -- but then you'd relent and roll me over for a belly rub.

My housebreaking took a little longer than expected, because you were terribly busy, but we worked on that together. I remember those nights of nuzzling you in bed and listening to your confidences and secret dreams, and I believed that life could not be any more perfect.

We went for long walks and runs in the park, car rides, stops for ice cream (I only got the cone because "ice cream is bad for dogs" you said), and I took long naps in the sun waiting for you to come home at the end of the day.

Gradually, you began spending more time at work and on your career, and more time searching for a human mate. I waited for you patiently, comforted you through heartbreaks and disappointments, never chided you about bad decisions, and romped with glee at your homecomings, and when you fell in love.

She, now your wife, is not a "dog person" -- still I welcomed her into our home, tried to show her affection, and obeyed her. I was happy because you were happy.

Then the human babies came along and I shared your excitement. I was fascinated by their pinkness, how they smelled, and I wanted to mother them, too. Only she and you worried that I might hurt them, and I spent most of my time banished to another room, or to a dog crate. Oh, how I wanted to love them, but I became a prisoner of love."

As they began to grow, I became their friend. They clung to my fur and pulled themselves up on wobbly legs, poked fingers in my eyes, investigated my ears, and gave me kisses on my nose. I loved everything about them and their touch -- because your touch was now so infrequent -- and I would've defended them with my life if need be. I would sneak into their beds and listen to their worries and
secret dreams, and together we waited for the sound of your car in the driveway.

There had been a time, when others asked you if you had a dog, that you produced a photo of me from your wallet and told them stories about me. These past few years, you just answered "yes" and changed the subject. I had gone from being "your dog" to "just a dog," and you resented every expenditure on my behalf.

Now, you have a new career opportunity in another city, and you and they will be moving to an apartment that does not allow pets. You've made the right decision for your "family," but there was a time when I was your only family.

I was excited about the car ride until we arrived at the animal shelter. It smelled of dogs and cats, of fear, of hopelessness. You filled out the paperwork and said "I know you will find a good home for her." They shrugged and gave you a pained look. They understand the realities facing a middle-aged dog, even one with "papers."

You had to pry your son's fingers loose from my collar as he screamed, "No, Daddy! Please don't let them take my dog!" And I worried for him, and what lessons you had just taught him about friendship and loyalty, about love and responsibility, and about respect for all life.

You gave me a good-bye pat on the head, avoided my eyes, and politely refused to take my collar and leash with you. You had a deadline to meet and now I have one, too. After you left, the two nice ladies said you probably knew about your upcoming move months ago and made no attempt to find me another good home. They shook their heads and asked "How could you?"

They are as attentive to us here in the shelter as their busy schedules allow. They feed us, of course, but I lost my appetite days ago.

At first, whenever anyone passed my pen, I rushed to the front, hoping it was you that you had changed your mind -- that this was all a bad dream... or I hoped it would at least be someone who cared, anyone who might save me.

When I realized I could not compete with the frolicking for attention of happy puppies, oblivious to their own fate, I retreated to a far corner and waited. I heard her footsteps as she came for me at the end of the day, and I padded along the aisle after her to a separate room. A blissfully quiet room.

She placed me on the table and rubbed my ears, and told me not to worry. My heart pounded in anticipation of what was to come, but there was also a sense of relief. The prisoner of love had run out of days.

As is my nature, I was more concerned about her. The burden which she bears weighs heavily on her, and I know that, the same way I knew your every mood.

She gently placed a tourniquet around my foreleg as a tear ran down her cheek. I licked her hand in the same way I used to comfort you so many years ago.

She expertly slid the hypodermic needle into my vein. As I felt the sting and the cool liquid coursing through my body, I lay down sleepily, looked into her kind eyes and murmured "How could you?"

Perhaps because she understood my dogspeak, she said "I'm so sorry." She hugged me, and hurriedly explained it was her job to make sure I went to a better place, where I wouldn't be ignored or abused or abandoned, or have to fend for myself --a place of love and light so very different from this earthly place.

And with my last bit of energy, I tried to convey to her with a thump of my tail that my "How could you?" was not directed at her. It was directed at you, My Beloved Master, I was thinking of you. I will think of you and wait for you forever. May everyone in your life continue to show you so much loyalty.


A Note from the Author:
If "How Could You?" brought tears to your eyes as you read it, as it
did to mine as I wrote it, it is because it is the composite story of
the millions of formerly "owned" pets who die each year in American
and Canadian animal shelters. Anyone is welcome to distribute the
essay for a noncommercial purpose, as long as it is properly
attributed with the copyright notice. Please use it to help educate,
on your websites, in newsletters, on animal shelter and vet office
bulletin boards. Tell the public that the decision to add a pet to
the family is an important one for life, that animals deserve our
love and sensible care, that finding another appropriate home for
your animal is your responsibility and any local humane society or
animal welfare league can offer you good advice, and that all life is
precious. Please do your part to stop the killing, and encourage all
spay and neuter campaigns in order to prevent unwanted animals. Jim

You know what i hate? people who don't leave messages on the answering machine . . . and than they complain that you never called them back! I mean HELLO how do i know you called!?! and don't say Caller ID. That's just durn lazy!!

*ugh* gotta report tomorrow to probation. I'm *HOPING* against hope that he still forgets about my work force duties until at least the next time i report (which hopefully wil be next month).

Had an annoying guy (Kevin called him Keanu cuz he was like Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure) that made this INCREDIBLY stupid blanket statement that all girls didn't read comic books. And i don't, but let me tell you! that is the BIGGEST pet peeve i have of people saying "oh, well you don't do this or like this cuz you're a girl" *grrrrr* I hate people that say that!!!

Neopia is soon to go to war. I'm HOPING that Irvjake is well enough equipped to battle well. ;)

Speaking of Neopets, must go play games. I bought my gallery a spotted PB yesterday & need to recoup some NPs quickly ;) Sweet Dreams!

Okay. I REALLY need to set aside time each day to type in my blog :p~. Now i know why it's taking Anna so long to get her WebSite developed & done. I mean, it was easy to sit here for hours at a time when i had nothing to do but be home when i was on my tether. Now that I'm free, I have things to do. luckily tomorrow all i have to do is catch up a little bit at work & come home & wait for Kevin to call so i can go to pick him up at work. (which is usually around 9:30pm)

Well, last week was a GREAT week for me. First of all, we (me, my mom & Angie) went on Tuesday, Nov. 12th to Football 201 at Ford Field in Detroit. Can you believe it's our 4th year going there?? (angie's 3rd) This year was $15 more than it has been in previous years (Ford Field tax, I'm sure) & there were WAY less women there than last year. I think there were about 700 - 800 women a year ago. This time, I would say there were 200 - 300 TOPS. It was fun tho. Got some REALLY nice pics of Scotty Anderson (#88), Mike McMahon (#8) & Shaun Rogers (#92) and a pic of me & Jim Brandstetter that ideally I'd like to blow up to at least 5" x 7" & take next year to get him to sign it.

And on Thursday was when my mom IM'd me up & told me she heard about Leonard Nimoy being at some Jewish book fair in West Bloomfield. (which it ended up being at the reform temple of Shir Shalom instead).
Apparently his book is EXTREMELY controversial & the book fair booked him prior to seeing a copy of his photography. Once they did, they would have no part of it. Luckily Shir Shalom was willing to host the event. And there might only have been 300 people at the book signing.
Which was wonderful!!! It began with a slide presentation hosted by Leonard Nimoy which was mostly his photographs from Shekhina, but there were a couple from earlier in his career. Just hearing the stories that i knew by heart about him coming straight from his lips (i.e. how he came up with the live long and prosper sign for vulcans) was the most amazing thing i had ever experienced. I mean, seriously, he's a pop icon & a brilliant man with a great knack for storytelling. I was completely awed. AND we got not only a copy of his book signed there, but also a copy of the poster announcing the event. AND i got not only a picture of him, but a picture of me with him!!! i can't wait to get it developed. Actually I'm almost scared to take it in (since we use film cuz we don't have a digital camera yet). Terrified that it might not turn out perfect, ya know??

And then, to top off the week, yesterday (Sunday) we FINALLY had my b-day party at my mom's house (also a Lions Sunday . . . which they lost pathetically . . . and to the Jets no less. I'm never gonna hear the end of it from Kevin) And i got a couple of awesome gifts. Carol & Al bought me the Red Wings Pint glass to complete the Stanley Cup set they had bought me a couple of years ago . . . Kelly bought me a David Craig & a Shakira CD . . . but i think the BEST gift that day was Anna gave me a Starry Scorchio Plushie AND a Scorchio keychain from Limited Too!!! it was just a good week all-in-all.

Of course, Saturday was rather awful, but seeing how it's really close to sleepy-time, i have to share that story another time. Que Lastima!!! ;)

OMG!! okay, today was one of the most FABULOUS days of my life!! my mom IM'd me this morning that Leonard Nimoy was in town signing his new photography book. At a temple in West Bloomfield. Shir Shalom.

Okay. Tramatic situation! I found not ONE but TWO grey hairs!!! Just start calling me Miss clairol!!!

*ARGH* stupid Zone Alram! I forgot i disabled it in my start-up the other day when i was trouble-shooting & it decided TODAY to shut down my internet access cuz i forgot to turn it back on. Said it looked like a hacker was attacking my computer. which is GREAT if someone was, but i highly doubt it & it just made it a little bit of an annoyance for me.

I've been kinda neglectful about coming here lately. I became free last week Monday (FINALLY!) And it's been a hard time to stay home. Well, except for Saturday when i was feeling pretty much under the weather. I'm much better now. I have to go into work sometime today to do the checks & let Larry now that i'm still alive lol. Now that i don't have to go there at certain times of the week, it seems a little harder to go there :). Ya know, now that it's not my only place to travel out of the house.

OKay, it's time to play Neopets again. I'll talk to you later :)

Thanks, but I don't want to have sex.
Nope, no more booze for me.
Sorry, but you're not really my type.
Good evening officer, isn't it lovely out tonight.
Oh, I just couldn't....No one wants to hear me sing

Oh! BTW! (and this isn't a flippant comment, but i just remembered it) JamMasterJay of RunDMC died wednesday evening. he was shot in their studio in Queens, NY. TheStory

When i heard the news, I cried. May he rest In Peace :'(

I am soooo tired, yet i can't seem to drag myself away from this computer. what is this crazy obsession i have . . . oh wait! it's called Neopets!!! ;)

Seriously tho, I have 83 hours left on this stinking tether. It's bothering me more now than EVER! I cannot wait until Monday when i finally get to cut this crappy thing offa my ankle! Ya know, it's funny. When i tell people the time left they're like"WOW! it's gone by fast! hasn't it?!?" I feel like shouting at them "Of course it's gone by fast to you! Your life didn't stop!" But I don't. I just grin & bear it "ha ha why yes it has!" i reply with a silly grin on my face. :p~ All the while I'm dying inside. Counting the HOURS now until I am free. And it's not so much about the drinking (altho it would be nice) as it is about being free to go places . . . especially at night. To be able to walk across the street to 7-11 & grab a slurpee or go down to the basement to do laundry. I feel so sorry for Kevin that he's had to put up with me these past 90 days. He's headed for sainthood, that one! :)

The sad part is, I'm soooo close to my off date that I'm neglecting my web endeavours. I had such grand goals for them when i started. Problem is, I can't do what I want with them and it's driving me BATTY! But, I did get a webpage designing program that I'm gonna start playing around with (probably next week) and maybe then I'll at least get my background images hosted properly. Who knows :p~

OH! BTW . . . my current sites I'm working on are:

TranceGirls_MagikJaz
GeoCities_MagikJaz
Liquid2K_MagikJaz

i think i actually figured out how to put my silly background pictures onto liquid2k!! Now what i need to do is get them to mouse-over so you can preview what the backgrounds look like in full view :) Cuz I have too many backgrounds to have them all like to seperate pages. I'd have 500 pages on my site. and i can't have that now, can i??

Watching David Blaine : Street Magic. I'm telling you now. Believe me later. He is the Anti-Christ.

I've been so busy catching up on my Neopets life, I completely forgot about my blog. YIKES! I'm too tired now to do anything, But I PROMISE I'll do some catching up tomorrow :)

*whew* my computer is back. Now i don't feel so seperated from the world. anymore.

I got a phone call this morning from Jim Sheets. My former boss for karaoke. very impersonal. "call me on my cell blah-blah-blah or at home blah-blah-blah" that was it. I debated for a little bit on calling him. I decided not to. The only reasons I can think of him calling me are either to host tonight (highly unlikely) or to invite me to a "party" (even more unlikely) I'm just not in the mood to deal with him anymore. He treated me like i was disposable. After I worked my ass off for him & built his company & his reputation up. I was at Slip Mahoney's for him for 3 years & the White Horse 3 NIGHTS A WEEK for 2 1/2 years. I worked 5 - 6 nights a week for him, to the detrement of other day jobs sometimes. And the thanks I got was to not even plead for my job with ANY PLACE.

You know, being a karaoke host was the one thing I was really good at. A natural, ya know? (I'm not gonna cry) And to have it all just taken away from me at the snap of someone's fingers just doesn't seem fair, now does it? And then to have him act like it just never happened!! That everything is simply hunky-dory, peaches and cream, when I have no job & my reputation is demolished (cuz he didn't dispute that my reason for losing my job was because of me). The owner of that bar did nothing but slander me & ruin my reputation simply because he didn't want to admit his actions were wrong during the situation. And as a result I no longer work ANYWHERE as a host. Let's face it, downriver is a tiny area. As wide spread as my name was that I was a fabulous host, it's probably 10 times (at least) more widespread that I was a loud-mouthed drunk / alcoholic who hogged the mic & never let anyone sing. (yeah, that's what was being said about me after the stupid "incident")

I know I'm probably better off not working in the bars & hosting karoke, but it doesn't feel like it most of the time. Like I said, it was the one thing I was really, really good at. I mean, I love music, I love to sing & I love people (most of the time). AND I was good at singing, controlling the crowd, keeping people happy & making them feel special. Plus it made me feel good. I had people appreciating my talent & enjoying to hear me sing. Now I'm just one of the crowd.

New Topic

I started a new "diet" yesterday. Well, not so much a diet as a change of munching. I have self diagnosed myself as being someone that is carbohydrate dependant, so I have decided to try and eliminate as much as I can. Mostly it's just not munching on crackers & chips & such during the day. It's a little harder than it sounds, especially since i don't really eat "meals" but rather grab snackie type things every couple of hours. and my fave "snackie" is cheese & crackers (or mostly ANYTHING & crackers). I am thinking about going on that "cabbage soup diet" but I'm not sure. maybe if I take it and kinda run with the basics of the diet. it looks pretty amazing. some people have lost as much as 15 lbs. in one week!!! I'd have to start it on a Tuesday tho, so Kevin wouldn't have to put up with my crazy diet needs while he's at home ;) He'll be at work most of the time.

I just want to get back down a couple of sizes for now. I mean, it would be nice to celebrate my 30th b-day feeling slender & sexy, even if i only lose like a size or 2, ya know?

Okay, I think I've made up for not posting in my blog for like a week. I must go play NeoPets now and earn some NPs quick ;)

LMAO

One commentator to the other during the University of Michigan v. Notre Dame game on NBC today "what's the difference between maize and yellow?" (referring to UofM's school colours of maize & blue). 2nd commentator replies "well, maize is a bold arrogant yellow. . ." I just had to share!!!

I love the show Will & Grace. Everytime I watch it I think of Jayson, my t'hy'la in California. And I always miss him so much. Will & Grace should be me and him if we actually lived in the same place. I could totally see us living together & annoying the hell out of others around us. & tonight's show was a replay of the Will & grace where they decide to have a baby together & that could very well be us too. I just think about it. I mean, I know I always say I don't want any kids. And that's one thing that Kevin and I seem to agree upon. And this doesn't mean that I love Kevin any less, but I could almost see me & Jay in the situation where we would come to the same decision to have a baby together. I mean, come one Jayson would make such a good daddy.

But, the only way that would even be slightly possible would be if I moved out there. Because I know he doesn't want to move back here. And right now I don't know that I want to do that.

But I shouldn't be thinking about that!! That's not why I started this post. I was missing my Jayson. I hope he misses me sometimes too. I haven't talked to him in sooooo long. I know he's okay. He'd let me know somehow if he weren't. I sure could use him here with me tho. I know how selfish that is and how selfish that sounds. I miss my friend tho. I don't get to see him nearly enough.

MAN!!! It just sucks sometimes. I know I have Kevin & I have a few really good friends here in MI. I mean, there were times in my life I couldn't have made it without Anna or Val & Melody or my mom even. But the 2 people I've been closest to in my life the longest are so far away from me and i HATE it!!! If only there were some way to make Quantico, Virginia (where my sister is) & Los Angeles, California (where my jayson is) close enough to be able to pop in and say hi every once in awhile. *sigh* Times like this i wish for transporters. (the st geek in me coming thru)

well, I need to get back to my NeoPets & earn some NeoPoints for my babies. And stop being so sad or else Kevin's going to worry about me when he gets home from work.

Today is a day of great sadness. I pray for everyone touched by the tragic events of September 11, 2001.

I was trying to experiment with some HTML stuff. The first link (look below) seemed to have worked, however my attempt to link to a different page's text didn't come off as planned.

YAY!!! I made homemade Enchiladas today using my mom's recipe!! I am sooo happy!! And the thing is, the hardest part is that it isn't written down. Just verbal. So, here's what i did. Fried the tortillas (corn) in oil just 3 seconds a side & put them to the side on a paper-towel covered plate. The oil leftover just covered the bottom of the frying pan. I added to that 1/2 cup flour & 1/4 cup chile ancho & cooked until it deepened just a bit (otherwise known as a roux) then I took a BIG cup (like a big gulp size) of water & poured it into the roux, all the time stirring (to make sure I had no lumps). I cooked that down about 5 minutes, then took the tortillas & dipped them into the "gravy", coating them on both sides. Then i tool the coated tortilla & lay it in my baking pan (obling cake pan is what i used) & sprinkled cheese & onion down the center & rolled the tortilla up using a fork to twist it (cuz it was still hot). When i filled up the pan, I poured the rest of the gravy on top, then sprinkled cheese on top until they were satisfactorily covered. I put them in the oven @ 350 degrees F until the cheese on top melted into a pretty gooey mess. AND i served with MY spanish Rice (a recipe for another time perhaps) & some refried beans to which i had added chopped up Jalapenos & a little cheese. The whole thing ended up Muy Bueno!!! (if i do say so myself) & i have a couple left over to give to my mom tomorrow to see what SHE thinks of them. Cuz, truthfully, she's the test. This is her recipe that she learned from a girl when she was 12 years old on a street corner in Mexico. 'Fraid you can't get much more authentic than that ;) (altho, one time she made the "gravy" accidentally with red pepper powder instead of Chile ancho. can you say HOT!HOT!HOT!)

Hello!! I'm back :) My computer broke on Sunday :( So we're borrowing a 'puter until we get ours fixed. Hopefully it won't be too long, or too much money. It's gonna be by a friend of Mark's (my mom's hubby) so HOPEFULLY he also knows what he's doing. My mom says he does.

I tried working on my website today on liqud2k to be able to host images that i can use as decorations in my NeoShop, but to no avail. My brain just doesn't want to work today. So i just stuck with my pages with trancegirls.com. It's easier. Plus, I added a couple of pictures that should embarrass my Georgia cousins ;)

Talking to my Yalie buddy Aaron. Just for future reference, his b-day was yesterday. Hopefully I won't forget it next year ;) I can't remember, but i think he's 28 now.

Watching The Rocky Horror Picture Show on AMC (of all channels)! And it was even so much cooler because it started at midnight, so it nade me remeber all the times me & Chicken went out to Fairlane Mall in Dearborn for the midnight shows to see the show (of course) as well as Joe (Riff-Raff). *sigh* I even remember the one time we all went & i got roped into playing Janet & Chris Wojtylko played Brad. my my my! that was interesting. And it wasn't so bad until it got to the part where Brad & Janet are standing around in their underwear (luckily I wore a white bra that night) & i heard Chicken & dave "woo-hoo! alright Jaz!" (or something to that effect) It took all I had not to cover myself up & crawl underneath the stage. :D *sigh* them were the days.

Went a little quiz crazy today as you can tell ;) oh well, When I'm stuck on the house more often than not, it gets a little lonely and one must pass the time some way or another.

This is an important role and one of which you should be proud. In fact, you can make a good deal of money as a translator. Normal: Tell our geek we need him to work this weekend. You [to Geek]: We need more than that, Scotty. You'll have to stay until you can squeeze more outta them engines!

From dust to dust ... to a diamond

This half-carat diamond was created from the cremated remains of a pig code-named Arnold, as a test for the process involving human remains. The process takes about 16 weeks, LifeGem says.


CHICAGO, Aug. 21 — They say diamonds are forever. And now the dearly departed can be, too. A Chicago company says it has developed a process for turning cremated human remains into diamonds that can be worn as jewelry.

“WE’RE BUILDING on the simple fact that all living creatures are carbon-based and diamonds are carbon-based,” said Greg Herro, head of LifeGem Memorials.

The blue diamonds are the answer to people who think a tombstone or an urn full of ashes is not personal enough. And they are portable, Herro said.

Herro, who describes himself as an entrepreneur, said he has spent the past three years refining the process, successfully making a diamond from cremated human remains in July.

A small thimbleful of carbon can be made into 0.25-carat diamond, for which LifeGem would charge $4,000. A full karat would cost $22,000.


HEAT AND PRESSURE

The ash is first purified in a vacuum induction furnace at about 5,400 degrees Fahrenheit (3,000 degrees Celsius). It is then placed in a press under intense pressure and heat, replicating the forces that create a natural diamond. It takes about 16 weeks.

Synthetic, or human-made, diamonds have been manufactured from carbon since the mid-1950s, when General Electric Co. developed the process for making small diamonds for industrial uses.

Avrum Blumberg, a chemistry professor at DePaul University in Chicago, said it is feasible to make a quality diamond from the carbon in a cremated human.

“If it’s done slowly and with a great deal of care, one could have a reasonably high-quality diamond,” Blumberg said.

In a telephone interview, Herro said his diamonds are of the same quality that “you would find at Tiffany’s.”

He said that he has had two of the diamonds certified for quality by European Gemological Laboratory, an independent laboratory that vouches for the quality of diamonds. The diamonds were submitted anonymously by a partner who sells synthetic diamonds to avoid any bias in the appraisals.

In a news release, Herro said that EGL would certify LifeGem’s diamonds, though EGL said it has no formal relationship with LifeGem.

“At this time, EGL USA does not have enough information about this new product to comment about the use of the EGL name in conjunction with it.” Mark Gershburg, director of EGL USA, said in a prepared statement in response to inquiries. But he said it is impossible to distinguish LifeGem synthetic diamonds from other synthetic diamonds.

LifeGem’s Web site lists a handful of funeral homes in the United States that will offer the service to customers.

One is Fergerson Funeral Home in North Syracuse, N.Y. Funeral director Patricia Fergerson said nobody has asked that a loved one be turned into a diamond yet. But the funeral home sees this as another service it can offer.

An Illinois man with emphysema, identified as Jack French, has signed up with LifeGem.

About 26 percent of U.S. residents who died were cremated last year. But Herro has his eye on a growth market. “Japan is at 98 percent,” he said.

What's in Coca Cola

DISCLAIMER: The author of this document is unkown. Neither is the validity of the information contained. This is for entertainment purposes only. So LAUGH!

Coke vs. Water - WHAT WILL YOU BE GETTING TO DRINK LATER TODAY?

We all know that water is important but I've never seen it written down like this before.



WATER - 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated. (Likely applies to half world pop.)

In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is often mistaken for hunger. Even MILD dehydration will slow down one's metabolism as much as 3%.

One glass of water shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a U-Washington study.

Lack of water, the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue.

Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers.

A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen or on a printed page.

Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%, plus it can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79%, and one is 50% less likely to develop bladder cancer.

Are you drinking the amount of water you should every day?



COKE - No wonder coke tastes soooo good:

In many states (in the USA) the highway patrol carries two gallons of Coke in the truck to remove blood from the highway after a car accident.

You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of coke and it will be gone in two days.

To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet bowl and.......Let the "real thing" sit for one hour, then flush clean. The citric acid in Coke removes stains from vitreous china.

To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers: Rub the bumper with a crumpled-up piece of Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil dipped in Coca-Cola.

To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour a can of Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble away the corrosion.

To loosen a rusted bolt: Applying a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to the rusted bolt for several minutes.

To bake a moist ham: Empty a can of Coca-Cola into the baking pan, wrap the ham in aluminum foil, and bake. Thirty minutes before the ham is finished, Remove the foil, allowing the drippings to mix with the Coke for a sumptuous brown gravy.

To remove grease from clothes: Empty a can of coke into a load of greasy clothes, add detergent, and run through a regular cycle. The Coca-Cola will help loosen grease stains. It will also clean road haze from your windshield.

For Your Information:

1. The active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid. Its Ph is 2.8. It will dissolve a nail in about 4 days.

2. To carry Coca-Cola syrup (the concentrate) the commercial truck must use the Hazardous material place cards reserved for highly corrosive materials.

3. The distributors of coke have been using it to clean the engines of their trucks for about 20

Reading a couple other blogs today. Mine is so completely boring. I guess that's expected tho, since I'm not much on keeping up-to-date with this thing. AND it's mine to do with as i please, right? so if i choose to be a whiny pathetic little bitch or a senseless good-for-nothing observer, then so be it. I didn't start doing this thing for anyone but me & that's how I'm gonna continue ;)

On a lighter note, I went to the birthday party of the 5 year old daughter of friends Biff & Jan today at the park. I got lucky. It happened to coincide with the time I was allowed outside the apartment today. Ang (the daughter) was sick today with a fever & little red bumps all over her arms & face so after the party she got taken (by her "lucky" daddy) to Urgent Care at Wyandtte Hospital. Only to find out (thank goodness) that it was a viral infection that's going around and not something worse like West Nile or GOD FORBID chicken pox!!!!!

And Chicken Pox always makes me think of Friends :

Phoebe: Don't some any closer! I've got the pox!
Charlie Sheen Sailor character: Chicken or Small?

LMAO! man i just crack myself up sometimes!! ;)

So, now my new Ruch CD is over (Vapor Trails. If you like Rush I highly recommend it!) and I'm a little burned out on making Neopints right now (iknow . . . I know . . . is that really possible?!?) so I'm gonna do something productive AWAY from the computer screen!!! Adios & Sweet Dreams!!

Are You too heavy?


A guy was ordered by his doctor to lose 75 lb. due to very serious health risks. As he wondered how in the heck he would ever do it, he ran across an ad in the newspaper for a GUARANTEED WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAM.
"Guaranteed like hell," he thought to himself. But desperate, he calls them up and subscribes to the 3 day/10 pound weight loss program.
The next day there's a knock at his door, and when he answers, there stands before him a voluptuous, athletic, beautiful,
19 year old babe dressed in nothing but a pair of Nike running shoes and a sign round her neck. She introduces herself as a representative of the weight loss company. The sign reads, "If you can catch me, you can have me."

Without a second thought he takes off after her. A few miles later, huffing and puffing, he finally catches her and has his way with her. After they are through and she leaves, he thinks! to himself, "I like the way this company does business!"
The same girl shows up for the next two days and the same thing happens.

On the fourth day, he weights himself and is delighted to find he has lost 10 lb. as promised. So, he calls the company and orders their 5 day/20 pound program. The next day there's a knock at the door and there stands the most stunning, beautiful, sexy woman he has ever seen in his life, wearing nothing but Reebok running shoes and a sign around her neck that reads, "If you catch me, you can have me."

He's out the door after her like a shot. This girl is in excellent shape and it takes him a while to catch her, but when he does, it is worth every cramp and wheeze. She is by far the best he's ever had. For the next four days, the same routine happens and much to his delight, on the fifth day he weights himself and found he has lost another 20 lb.
as promised.

He decides to go for broke and calls the company to order the 7 day/50 pound program. "Are you sure?" asks the representative on the phone.
"This is our most rigorous program."
"Absolutely," he replies, "I haven't felt this good in years."

The next day there's a knock at the door and when he opens it he finds Richard Simmons standing there wearing nothing but pink running shoes and a sign around his neck that reads, "If I catch you, I can have you."

got a new website today. I tried Geocities, but it was no good. Couldn't link to images, and that's the main reason i wanted it. :( So i went with a recommendation of a PC member on her site cesg and made one that can at least HOST images without having to make a page from scratch (that will come later in my HTML career). so check it out!! MAGIKJAZ

something REALLY pathetic! I'm watching this AWESOME RUSH! concert tonight at Pine Knob . . . I mean "D.T.E. Energy Center" (whatever) and they have this fabulous animation going on behind them during some of the songs. and all I'm thinking about is "wow! those color combinations would look really good on a webpage" and "WOW! wonder if i could make that design with a graphics program to use as a background for a webpage" can we say GEEK!!??!! and the test said my blogger only controlled 25% of me? Maybe i need to take that thing again!

went to my first online AA meeting yesterday. Unfortunately it was at an inopportune time of my day. Had to take a breathalyzer test for the tether & my sister called to check on me while the meeting was going on. When i got back the leader had asked me for comments. i asked to have a moment to catch up in the chat & he said never mind there would be another meeting next week. So i was kinda bummed, but oh well. So later on that night i got an email from him stating that HE closes his door & doesn't answer his phone when he's in a meeting. Which i understand. so i told him that i HAVE to answer the phone & i can't close myself off from the world when i go online due to the tether. So he emails back and says i've run off at the mouth & i don't take my "recovery" seriously & i had better apologize & i need to stop feeling sorry for myself. so I email HIM back and say i didn't feel i had "run off at the mouth" and i wouldn't apologize & i thought AA was a support group not a "do as i tell you" group and so i removed him from my buddy lists & also removed myself from his groups. and THEN he sends me THIS email:
They say when your starting off you should take the cotton wool out of your ears and shove it in your mouth. I've never met a person this applies to as much as it does to you. Moving you to AA Baddies so I will never trouble you again. Goodbye and good luck in your recovery. Your gonna need it with a mouth that runs off like that.
Good thing i had such a positive experience in RL at my first meeting today, or I'd be ready to have a drink. and I'm not kidding. What a jerk!!

at the meeting today they kept telling me that i was the most important person at the meeting cuz it was my first day. It was a very posotive meeting and experience. SOOOO much better then this stupid arrogant holier-than-thou idiot that just kicked me in the stomach & could have potentially impeded my recovery.

okay I'm dont venting. time to eat Chinese food & veg in front of the TV for awhile ;)

decided to spend spend spend those NPs. *sigh* Especially since i'm spending the next 90 days mostly at home playing LOTS of games.


we went to the jail today & i got my tether. so i started a countdown. only 90 more days to go ;) I really feel sorry for Kev cuz I'm gonna be a bear. On the cool tip, i DID get time on Sunday to be able to go to the RUSH concert. Woooo-Hoooo!!!!

having a dilema. i have over 1mil NPs. do i spend them to better my galllery or continue to hoard??

i didn't tell about my court. oops. i got 18 months probation, during which i have to go to AA meetings twice a week for the whole 18 months. i have to undergo outpatient alcohol counselling, which is once a week for about 6 months. i have 5 days (which=5 weeks) of community service/wyandotte workforce.

AND

i got 90 days on alcohol tether (in place of 90 days in jail). so, this means LOTS more time at home and consequesntly online i'm thinking.

25 %

My weblog owns 25 % of me.
Does your weblog own you?

wish me luck. today in about 15 minutes i go to court for sentencing on my DUI. I'm hoping all i get is ALOT of community service & no jail time, but that all depends on if the judge is in a good mood i guess. I'm hoping he is.

in case i ain't back for awhile, i leave you with these cool things:

Cult Sells Cloning Machine Online
AFP




Inventions We Love to Hate



July 26 — The Clonaid Society, created by the founder of the Raelian movement, is selling online what it claims are "cloning machines" to further efforts to clone humans around the world.

The machine was created by Korean scientists, who are sect members.


Dubbed the RMX 2010, it makes possible a nuclear fusion operation aimed at obtaining a human clone embryo which in theory could be implanted in a woman's uterus to start a pregnancy.
The machine can be ordered on the company's Internet site for $9,199. The site also estimates that the cost of cloning a human to be about $200,000.

"Not only are we hoping to be the first to clone a human being, but we also want to contribute so that the cloning efforts can multiply everywhere on the planet, helping to cure all diseases and improve the human race," said Rael, founder of the Raelian sect and the Clonaid company.

Rael hailed the fact that the United States had yet to pass an anti-cloning law as "a huge victory."

"Five countries are now fully engaged in cloning: China, Sweden, Britain, Israel and Saudi Arabia," he said in a release.

The Raelian sect was founded in 1973 by a former French journalist Claude Vorilhon, or "Rael." Rael, who lives in Quebec, considers himself a prophet akin to Moses or Mohamed and claims 55,000 followers worldwide.

The Raelians believe life on Earth was established by extraterrestrials who arrived in space ships 25,000 years ago and that humans themselves were created by cloning.

Just heard from an old friend i haven't seen in about a YEAR!!! i am sooo happy!! i missed him. Justin. The best frank Sinatra singer @ karaoke i have EVER heard. He totally LIVES the part. he moved out to Wixom or Novi or Walled Lake or something ith he gf last year dur to his job. a mutual friend emailed me to give me Justin's #!! YAY!! (didn't tell Kevin about the email from todd, he would have flipped. see Kevin doesn't like Todd much. he seems to think Todd has an agenda on me)(whatever. i LOVE my Kevin)
so now i have to go to work today so i can call him & find out what he's been up to (justin, not Todd)

Problems

having problems with my blogger. let's hope it doesn't last forever ;)

WOW!! just got done watching Imposter, starring Gary Sinise & Madeline Stowe. Based on Phillip K. Dick's story (he also wrote BladeRunner & Minority Report) it was FABULOUS!!! i can't tell you anything about it without ruining it for you, but i think it's worth a rental.

tried to burn a CD today. Didn't work. :( Have to take a plug at it tomorrow when my mind is fresh & we have A/C (i hope I hope I hope)

watching Stephen King's The Shining right now (the TV version) scary stuff. Part 3 is on tomorrow. Last time it was on we missed part 3 due to cable difficulties. Let's hope that doesn't happen again. i don't think my little heart could take it :(

Dali (Purkle Couch) bought her childhood home. Which is VERY cool. i want my mommy's home, mostly because i can't stand the thought of someone else living there with our ghosts. (yes i said ghosts)

I HATE Michigan summers!!!!

The condo association for SOME reason decided that Friday would be a good time to start repairs on the Central Air unit powering the WHOLE 10 floor building where i live . . . especially since the heating/cooling place in charge of repairs can't get the part until Monday or Tuesday sometime. Telling ya, the brains behind that one ASTOUND me. i just want to drive around in my car with the A/C full blast until the air here is fixed. and Kevin doesn't seem to mind this heat at all. of course, he's used to working in a kitchen where it can get up to 120 degrees F.

*UGH*

Heard this crazy news story. Not for the faint of heart :

Man was arrested for having sex with dogs (that's not the bad part).
Man would dress dogs up in women's clothing (STILL not the worst part)
Man would then kill dogs & dump them in a ditch.

Can you say SICK DISGUSTING PSYCHO!!!!

after going thru the other colors you could be, my fiance decided i'm red, blue, violet (which i guess makes sense since red + blue = violet) ;)

BTW, he's green

JOEY KOCUR IS THE RED WINGS NEW ASSOCIATE COACH #2!!!!

I'm BACK!!!!
My computer broke & i FINALLY got a replacement thanks to my brother. he had an old one just hanging around. had to replace the power supply, but that was no biggie!! i'm just so happy to be online again!! Woo-Hoo!!!!

Did you miss me? Here i am!!!

Well, it started out a good day. I talked to my cousin yesterday & we're cool. I still have to apologize to him, but i'll do that in person. I have to learn to control myself & my pent up anger. You know . . . i always tell everyone else to go to a therapist . . . maybe it's just ME that needs to go.
Opps! Wait! that's getting a little down. As i was saying . . . i talked to my cuz & all was pretty cool. Had plans today to hang with my mom & Jay (maybe dinnner @ her house) & also a quasi-interview @ Jerry's ACE Hardware here in Wyandotte for a part-time position. Was gonna put some hours into Larry's, so we could have money. all-in-all, it was gonna be a good day.

THEN . . . I just got home from work & had a message on my machine. Jim Sheets. CDogz cancelled. My ONLY karaoke night. Until further notice. *sigh* I'm feeling so sorry for myself i don't know WHAT to do. *sigh* Hopefully this job will come thru with Jerry's ACE hardware & i'll be able to get some hours in. cuz right now we aren't doing so good. i have to call Ameritech to make billing arrangements & make sure about Wyandotte Municipal. I'm just in a funk. I'm gonna go play NeoPets.
