The computer I was using was old and slower than a turtle. My roommate got tired of the damn thing. You could not see alot of stuff on the rave and if you were going to go to some sites, well lets just say you were going to lock the computer. It would freeze up.
Her parents came down on April 22nd for her daughter's birthday party at Peter Piper Pizza. They brought her Dell and we finally got around to setting it up last night. Damn, I had forgotten what being on a fast computer was like. I have cable internet, but might as well have had dial-up with the way my computer would run. I am a happy camper indeed.
Yesterday, my son turned 12. It is hard to believe he is almost a teenager. I am thankful for every second of the last 12 years.
I watched American Idol last night. I ended up voting for the entire four hours after the show (Normally the voting is only for two hours) because each vote up to fifty million votes would add ten cents to various charities that American Idol and its sponsors are trying to help. I was thrilled to see that some of the money would be going to help those in New Orelans that have still been able to put their lives back together. I watched an episode of Wife Swap. One lady went to an affluent family in the New Orelans area. I shocked to discover that there are rich or upper class people in that area that think everyone affected by Hurricane Katrina have had ample time to put their lives back together. If someone was living paycheck to paycheck before Hurricane Katrina hit, it is going to take them longer to get back on track. They may never be able to return home or rebuild their house.
Well it looks like Karl Rove, George Bush's so-called brain, is finally going to get investigated. I think it is about time. I thought he got off too easily on the Valerie Plame thing. I think he knew her identity as a CIA agent was going to be revealed, because the administration was angry at her husband for questioning what the Bush White House was putting out about Iraq and Sadaam Hussein. Hopefully, he will finally got caught for something he has done.
Tonight I was watching the third Harry Potter movie for the upteenth time on the Family Channel, when my neighbor Theresa banged on my door. She told me to hurry up and call an ambulance, because Billy was sick. Mr Billy was a 58 year old man who lived in our complex. He was a bad chain smoker. His cousin's husband said he was the type that would smoke ten packs a day if he could. Anyway, I called an ambulance from my cordless phone. Since I did not know his extact condition, I had to grab my roommate's cell phone and go see what was going on with him , so I could call the ambulance dispatcher back and tell him. When I got to Billy's apartment, he was slumped over to one side in his chair in front of his TV.
I took his pulse and did not find one. I did not immediately say what I knew because Theresa was already going apeshit and I did not need her panicking at that point. I told her to go get my roommate so we could try to get him on the floor and administer CPR. He was not cold at that point and I figured it was worth a shot. I have no idea why Theresa came back without roommate. I think she was in too big of a panic to rely a message. The EMTS were there by that point., so I just stepped aside.
The EMTS confirmed what I already knew. BIlly was dead. He had been sick for some time and would not go to the doctor. I had told my roommate when I first started checking on him every day, that I did not think he was long for this world. His cousin confirmed what I already thought about Mr Billy when I talked to her tonight. He had slight mental problems. He was not the best at taking care of himself and could not live with family, because of his difficult personality. I use to have to go shut his door every night, because he would go to bed with the door wide open. Theresa and I would worry that someone would come in and hurt him. I told the cops tonight, I had no way to lock the door, but always hoped that if bad people came near his door that would assume it was locked , when they saw it closed.
From what the EMTS said he went pretty quick. Theresa had checked on him and he was in his chair talking to her. She went next door and took a thirty minute bath. By the time , she came back he was in the chair passed out and was probably dead.
As I was writing this entry, my get drunk all the time neighbors pulled into the parking lot. I knew it was them because I could hear that someone was driving like a bat out of hell. Then one of them bangs on my door and asks me if I want to drink with them. Yeah, not. I am a recovering alcoholic. Now , they are throwing things at our windows and our stairs. I do not know why all the crazy people seem to find me. I am beginning to think I am the patron saint of insane people.
I just got back from escorting two drunks to their apartment. One who is 21 decided to moon me. Yes, he has a nice ass for a kid. I am 36. The other one decided to tell me about his salty nuts. I replied that it has been my experience that most men have salty nuts. Luckily, there is a 34 year old sober guy over there. I told him to keep the guys in the apartment or they would both wind up in jail. Why me?
Today I went and got birthday gifts for two people- my son who turns 12 on the 24th of this month and my roommate's daughter who turns 8 on the 22nd. Every April these two children really clean up because of Easter and their birthdays.
My son wanted a television to play video games on. I got his a 13 inch remote controlled TV. I think he will like it. The little girl loves ponies and collects the My Little Pony toys. I got her a My Little Pony and another two ponies. The second set of ponies are suppose to be mother and colt. They came with their own little barn. I think she will like it.
Okay, wouldn't it make sense that when you join a website to read things like the VR Manual, the FAQ, and other things that would help familarize yourself with the site. A clueless individual was just in the vamp box asking how to join a coven. When he was told to read the coven pages to check out the requirements for the different societies on the rave, he still wanted to ask the dominar who gave him helpful advice if he knew of any society that would want him.
It is not that hard people. Read. You learn more by exploring a site and reading, then you do by asking people questions. If this individual had read the VR Manual or even the newest article in the member articles section, he or she would have known that you do not choose a house or coven. The society chooses you. Yes, some societies allow you to petition for membership, but you have to read to know which ones allow that.
I have to admit that I am an American Idol junkie. If a crime is committed in my area on Tuesday or Wednesday nights, there is no way anyone would think I did it. I am camped out in front of the TV watching my show.
Last night, Haley Scarnato finally went home. Yes, I am like the bloggers on the Net who have wondered week after week how the hell she made it this far. She is not the worst singer in the world, but she is not good enough to have made it to the top eight. I was shocked last week when Gina Glocksen went home before her.
This coming week's theme is country music. One blogger thinks it will be funny if Sanjaya fixes his hair like Willie Nelson and sings either " Mama Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys" or " To All The Girls I Loved Before." I would not find it funny. Personally, I think it would be quite painful.
Okay our president is making less sense these days than ever before. (That's saying a lot. This is the same man who cannot even speak correctly most of the time. ) Seems our president thinks it is a good idea to veto the latest spending bill from Congress , because they did not approve his plans for Iraq and then blame them for there not being enough money to send new units into Iraq. Ok, this is just stupid. The President is trying to say that it is Congress' fault that the soliders in Iraq will have to stay longer, because there is no money to prepare new units. I guess he is trying to get military families upset at the Democrats in Congress. A thirteen year old would see his flawed logic. If he vetoes the spending bill for Iraq, then it is his own damn fault there is no money for new units and soliders are having a longer tour of duty. I hope this man is not so retarded that he does not recognize the holes in his logic. The best case scenario is he is just attempting to pass the buck. If not, then we do have an idiot in the White House.
