Reminder...

There are people on the net that have nothing better to do with their time then be nasty to other people online. They post rude comments, spend hours a day talking about sites they hate so much, that they well, spend hours a day talking about them. (lame) They mock the owners and posters for their opinions and their right to free speech. They expect everyone to fit into their narrow-minded little world view or else they throw a temper tantrum.

To these people I say grow up.

Here's a bit of info people...the web is a HUGE place. If you don't like what I say here, or who I am, or what I do, or talk about, or what I look like, or the color of my hair, or whatever asinine thing you dwell on, go somewhere else. It's really, really easy. Honest. You just click the little "x" in the corner of your browser and *poof* the offending, big, mean and nasty site has disappeared.

I pay for this site. It's mine. That means I can use it for whatever the hell I want to. Don't like it if I'm bitching about something in my life? Oh fucking well. Go somewhere else. Think I'm stupid for expressing my thoughts? Too fucking bad, don't read them. Somewhere along the line, someone forgot this simple fact: Live and let live Don't like me, cool, fine, whatever, I don't care. This journal is NOT for you. It's for me. I'm not in it for popularity or fame or anything stupid like that. I write it because I need to write and express myself and get things out of my head sometimes. So read or don't, it doesn't matter, but don't waste my time (or yours) bitching about it.

Recent Searches
Just peeking at my stats and looking at the last twenty search engine hits. They always amuse me. Some are so odd. Some are understandable but most...who knows.

Google: hypercolor shirt
Oh, sure. You're looking for this entry. I was thinking about them one day and decided to look it up. And though Generra (the company who made them) is back around doing fashion again, there's no mention of their (in?)famouse one hit wonder of the 90's.

Google: song Mickey whistles Steamboat
The official authorized biography, "Walt Disney: An American Original" has this to say about Steamboat Willie:
"Walt and Ub borrowed from a successful Buster Keaton comedy for the third Mickey Mouse, Steamboat Willie. The action in the first part of the cartoon was to be syncopated to an old vaudeville tune, "Steamboat Bill," the last half to "Turkey in the Straw."


Google: step by step lasagna receipe
You know, I still owe you guys that. I have the photos and everything, I just never put it together or wrote it out. I have to do that one of these days.

Google: moldavite pendulum
Ah yes. I received just such a beautiful item from a friend for my birthday:
Though not where I found it originally, you can find one for sale here. It's lovely for the record and I cherish it.

Google: giveneyestosee ipod
Ah yes. I did discuss this recently. And, yes, it really is legit. Love's iPod is in the shipping process right now, so I thank everyone who signed up to help him get one. I was als on the local Fox news channel about this. We filmed in December, but it just aired now for Sweeps.


Yahoo: Femme Fatal archetype
Heh. Though I don't think I slay men with my looks and deeds, it's an amusing search nonetheless.

Yahoo: painful secene of the film
This one's a bit vague. Painful to me is something like the strobe lightning that made me get up and leave the theater during the first 15 minutes of Chronicals of Riddick. Which is probably where the search result pulled up.

Yahoo: giveneyestosee/journal
Well, this one's obvious. Here I am.

Google: 553 Could not determine cwdir: No such file or directory
A blogger error. If I remember correctly, it had to do with having the wrong path in the settings.

Google: car ERG Valve
So many people find me by this search, but...I can't really tell you much of what it is or does. All I know is that mine's gone bad in my '95 Mustang and it's meant my "Check Engine" light has been on continuously for the last two years or so. I'm pretty sure it has to do with emissions and filtering or such of exhaust in some way, but seeing as it wasn't a critical fix and we stopped having emissions tests here like six or seven years ago, I've not worried about it. I've just dealt with the constant "Check Engine" light instead.

Google: Do I have to wait 6 weeks before dying my hair again?
I'm no expert, but the more you dye it and the closer you dye it back-to-back the more you run risk of frying it. Also, some dyes might interact in bad ways resulting in things you didn't expect. I'd say to wait a month, but then, I'm very skittish about dying my hair in the first place since my hair gets mad at me when I dye it. Your results may vary.

Google: ybor webcams
Well, I know where Ybor is. It's an off-shoot area of Tampa. It's a HUGE nightclub spot. It's also really dangerous and a violent area. But I can't tell you about webcams. I can tell you they use a face recognition software on the public streets down there. There are cameras everywhere and they scan the crowds each and every night with software to identify, tag and search for wanted people. Little too Big Brother for my liking.

Google: 800-514-7490
I think I'm the only result on the net for this one. It's Verizon. More specifically, when you order new service or change your service (like, you add Caller ID or something), this is the number that calls you with an automated message telling you your new service is on and offering optional user instructions. It keeps calling back though until you take the call.

Google: burn on lip
Ouch. Really painful. And there's not much you can do about it. Some 100% pure aloe (no dyes) might help (or an aloe chapstick like Blistex Herbal Answer) and so do chapsticks meant for sunburn. Most of them contain a mild numbing agent. It's what I used when I burnt mine. Specifically, Blistex Pro Relief helped numb the pain. Also, I put cold compress on it for short periods of time. (No more then about 10-15 minutes at a time.) I'm not advising this medically, just as my personal experience with a burnt lip.

Google: "low water pressure" "new shower head"
Yeah, low water pressure sucks. Find one meant for low water pressure that helps compensate. Also, if the head has a low pressure filter on it but you have higher pressure in your bath, just remove the filter and enjoy your luxury. Heh.

Google: McDonalds Racist "I'm Lovin' it"
You were looking for this ranty entry. For the record, I fucking hate the "i'm lovin it" slogan. It's total and complete ass.

Google: eyes sensitive to fluorescent light
Yeah, welcome to my world. 25% of the population can perceive the flicker but 100% get eye strain and fatigue from it. For those of you - like myself - cursed with migraines, that flicker and eye strain leads to attacks. Joy.

Yahoo: before dying wait 24 hours after shampooing
So they say. Let a little of your natural oils built up to protect your scalp. Shower, NO product, wait 24 hours, then dye. It's what I do.

Google: horrible storms ever
Um...been through a few bad ones, but thankfully not the most horrible ever.

Google: XP reboots repeatedly
Yeah, story of my life lately. Look in your error log (Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Event Viewer -> System) and see what's written next to the big red stop sign icons. Mine has been "acpi" (which is windows xp's power management system) lately and requires bios changes to fix and then, despite bios updates, hasn't fixed in my case and left me rather screwed. Your errors may vary. By the way, you can double click any entry in the list and get more info.

So....there you go. M explains it all.
