Headlight Rant

I have noticed an increasing number of people with one or both headlights pointing into the face of oncoming traffic instead of where they should be.  Why is it that people can’t adjust their headlights?  And, on the same subject, why do people feel the need to add “driving” lights — fog lights — to their vehicles and drive with them on all the time?  They are for **bad** weather, people!  They are not to be on all the time.  In fact, a lot of states (all?) make it illegal to have more than 2 white lights lit on the front of a vehicle.  What is even worse is the ones who install them and then don’t keep those adjusted either!  

They don’t make you “cool”!  So, turn them off until you need them and stop blinding the oncoming traffic!  Or, the car in front of you through the mirrors!

And if you’re wondering why this rant now…. it has been coming for awhile.  Nearly every time I drive at night anymore…. I have at least one of these inconsiderate people  around me.  This evening, 3!  Yes!  Three!  And that was in a less than 10 mile drive.

Sheesh!! 

Adjust Your Headlights Already! 

Adorable Man-Eating Menace

I have an adorable cat asleep on my lap as I type.  Ok….part adorable, part man eating menace.  Just as I was typing the first sentence, she must have telepathically sensed a need to re-assert her “man eating menace” role; as she reached up with both feet, wrapped them around my arm and bit.  I guess that’s what I get for imagining a “cute kitty” instead of “4 footed instrument of death.”

I’m feeling increasingly anti-social and resentful of people; both in general and specific people.  In fact, I at this time, I could make a fairly good argument that people are just a disgusting infestation of the Earth.

Fake Beauty

Girl Power on Fake Beauty and the  Beauty Fraud perpetrated by media.

GirlPower Site

I’m of the strong opinion that this website should be seen and studied by everyone.  I’m not sure whether it would do the most good for males or females to see it.  However, I’m leaning toward it being most beneficial for females to see it; as many as humanly possible.  Perhaps we would stop thinking about everything in sexual context.  Perhaps women would stop worrying about visual beauty and trying to be something that is non-existent and impossible to attain. Maybe then we would concentrate on the things that matter.

Along the same vein is THIS site on retouching for magazines.

Desired By Porno Scammer Scum

Apparently, I’m an outcast.  On my personal blogs, other than one friend, people rarely comment on my posts…. and apparently never read them; considering that I posted a simple poll on one of them which had no responses at all.

My cousin sent me a link to Hi5 and I signed up there.  A band I know is on Myspace, so I signed up there.  Somehow I ended up with a Friendster link so I signed up there.  The only place I get friend requests or messages (and even responses to my requests) is on Myspace from bands.  They are always looking for more publicity and fans.  Other than that, I get nothing but porno spammer scum trying to contact me.

And a couple people that know me wonder why my outlook on life is such as it is.

Free Fisher

Free Fisher Music

I’ve mentioned Fisher before.  They are another of my favorite bands and I have met them personally.  Kathy is from Middlebourne, WV…. where some of my family is from.

Every year at about this time, they would release a Christmas CD called “December”. This year, Ron re-worked “Christmas Face” (and I think a couple others) and has posted the CD again for a short time at their website.

If you’d like to hear some things from Fisher and get a chance at some free Christmas music at the same time, just visit the link below.

Fisher, December

***Update 08/13/2014***
Due to the unprofessional, rude, and hateful behavior directed at me from both Kathy and Ron, I have decided I will no longer recommend them, nor purchase any more of their music.

You do what you feel comfortable with; just as I am.

I watched “Constantine” tonight.  It was a decent movie.  There were some good special effects in it and I liked some of the “Good vs Evil” aspects.

So very sad.

I’ve just been informed over on LJ that I have intruded where I’m not wanted. This revelation came about because of a disagreement with someone I thought was a friend.  Because of my posts to LJ about the situation her husband — my lifelong friend — has informed me that I’m an intruder into their lives.So, the only thing to do is to remove myself from the lives of those who don’t want me in their lives.  I’m sitting here so upset and in tears as I write this.  I came home this evening from the store (where I found Christmas gifts for my friend) only to find out that he thinks I have intruded where I’m not wanted.  By asking someone how they are doing, I am an intruder.  That shows the level to which I am not wanted in their lives, so I will have to accept that and remove myself from their lives.

It so hurts.  It’s so sad.

Nephew’s 9th


My nephew’s 9th birthday was today. He wanted to go to Chuck E. Cheese’s. So, we did. There were a few of us that got together and we even met the big Chuck himself.

Am I A Fisher Fanatic?

 

OK, so I just ordered the European-only release of “Anyway” — a sort of “greatest hits” album — by Fisher; from a German language Amazon website. And I don’t speak or read German. On top of that, I’m paying shipping fees from Germany to the U.S. Is this indicative of me having a possible problem? 🙂

Dragonswalker and Her Horses


Went with Karen (Dragonswalker) to look at some of her horses. I am really disappointed because I had taken a lot of photos and only this one came out. Goes to show that even after many years of photography, one can still have things go wrong; usually user error. That was the case here; on which I won’t elaborate. I guess it gives me an excuse to go back with a better camera when I can… if Karen invites me back again.
