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.

*gets off soapbox*


Tooth Drive: I raised $550 of $850 I need for my dental work when the other shoe dropped. One of my teeth now needs a critical root canal - over $2,000 in costs. There's no way I can come up with this on my own in the next 2-3 months. So I need your help. Please consider using one of my links below. Pass my jewelry link along to others. Help spread the word. If I were able to get $10 from 200 people, I would be there. I don't think it's that much or that hard. But I need help. Thank you.

Pot Luck Post
This is one of those handful of things to mention that are all unconnected and not enough for a post of their own kinda posts. So, it's Pot Luck night!

Cheaper?
Verizon's idea of saving you money.


Seems simple enough right? Pay online instead and save 37 cents. Except they charge you a $1.95 "convienence" fee to do so. Gee, let's think about this. I can spend the cost of a stamp, or I can pay $2 so my payment can be taken by a machine that doesn't even earn an hourly wage. Yeah. In the mail it goes, jerks.

Lost and Found
Ok, I did it. After reading from every single person I know about the amazing addictivness of Lost, I broke down and stuck the first disk on my blockbuster online. Showed up earlier in the week and Wednesday and Thursday nights, we watched the first four episodes. Dammit. Now I'm hooked and I'm all mad because there was no mail today so I have to wait until next week before my disk will get back to them and the second disk will show up. Bitches. It's all weird but compelling and I don't know why but now I - well, Love and I both - want to see more. *mutters about tv shows made of crack and their stupid want-to-see-more qualities.* Of course now I have to start going to great lengths to avoid spoilers and stuff since everyone is talkking about it all the time and of course, I'm a season behind.

1977
Besides being the year I was born, it's the year a bit of a cult-classic movie was released. Slapshot. It's a hockey movie about a fictional minor league team called the "Chiefs." It's not an overly good movie but it's memorable for me. The film was shot in my home town - Johnstown, PA. And my mom was an entra in it. The other night it came on HBO and I had to catch her scene. I snagged my camera and took a photo of the screen so the quality is poor, but it's still fun to see.


Ok, the team is coming into a town at night. There's a crowd outside protesting and booing their arrival. Mom's in the bright red and white checkered jacket.

But it gets better. They do a few close-ups on the crowd and - huzzah! - there's mom again with a pretty good close-up.


Isn't that a riot? It's so funny to see your own mom from before you were born on HBO. (The movie shot in 1976 and was released in 1977.) She said she wore that blazer specifically because it would stand out. And she's right, it does! She also told me that it was freezing that night and they stood out there hour after hour doing the scene over and over again. In the scene, the Chiefs moon the crowd. I wonder how many times my mom had to look at the pasty white asses of the players?

Ok, so there you go. Blogger Pot Luck. TTFN.
