The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

My boss is leaving for Pakistan on the 18th and I will be managing the store. Before anyone pats me on the back, just know that a lot of it has to do with the fact that I am the only full time employee and that I live across the street from the store. I am currently learning the store's ordering process and am about ready to scream at some beer vendors. I work at a small corner store that does a big business in beer. We cannot afford to run out of beer and we have to have it placed inside the cooler that makes stocking easy. On the weekends, you must constantly stock the cooler. IF not, you will have empty shelves.



It is cold today in Texas. No not cold in the same sense as in New York, but it is cold. We have been having some hot weather and then all of a sudden it is like God turned the air conditioner on fifty. There are going to be some sick people.



My son is getting a guitar for Christmas. I found a nice acoustic guitar for one hundred and fifty dollars. A co-worker sold it to me and informed me he would buy it back, if Malcolm does not like it or does not practice. Money back if my son does not want or use it- I could not beat that anywhere. I feel lucky there.



I do not have to open the store tomorrow. I am going in at ten and have to go back in for a couple of hours tommorrow night to learn closing procedures. I am not overly fond of the idea of closing, but will do it. My roommate will be checking on me and I am sure various customers will be too. I can just see Valarie and Christina playing guard dogs.

This is copied straight from Beastman's journal.



Be warned you homely bitches ... we gonna find your homely ass den we gonna deport your ass back to de homely land. Da homely police have spoken.

I do hope that it was a lack of sleep and too much coffee that caused this to end up in this person's journal. Well, why his homely police is out there rounding up people, my I have no humanity about me police are on their way.

The following is copied from another journal on the rave.



Beastman: Dey homely! Homely bitches! Stop comin' to my page ya homely bitches!



Yo bunch o' homely fucks.



Some o' them look like shit. Rubbed up shit.

Part of me wants to laugh. First of all the guy writing this will never give John Grisham, Stephen King or Anne Rice any competition. I doubt if I will either, but I hope I can write things less shallow than this . If this was what I produced, I would hope someone would take my keyboard away forever.



Second, I am sure the females coming to his page are not models or have the money to look like one. Physical appearance if that is what he is referring to is genetics and money. Period. You did not do anything to have your appearance in some ways. Yes, you may have taken care of yourself, but there is only so much that can be done of a cosmetic or surgery level. Who you are on the inside is what matters. I have had a gay sire on here tell me that I am not ugly . This person knows me in real life, so do not think I am coming from having low self esteem. Neither do I think I am the best looking thing on the planet. I hope whoever the guy was referring to was not so vain he felt compelled to comment on it.

So, Stabb you have had a bad day. I am so glad I do not have your job on the rave. Here's hoping the offerings in the forum get better as the week goes on.

NEW YORK (CNN) -- The suicide of a young man and the murder he committed before he killed himself are being blamed on a cult led by his mother.



Also disturbing, former members who spoke to CNN say they witnessed Ricky Rodriguez having sex with his mother, Karen Zerby, the leader of the sect now known as "The Family International."



The sect's activities and history are detailed in a newly released book, "Jesus Freaks." The sect was founded in California in the 1960s by David Berg, who referred to himself as "Mo," short for Moses. Berg was a self-proclaimed prophet.



Former sect members tell CNN Berg encouraged adult-child sex. More often than not, they say, the chosen child was Rodriguez, the son of Karen Zerby, who Berg called his queen. Zerby became the leader of the sect when Berg died in 1994.



"Jesus Freaks" author Don Lattin says Berg "wanted his child to embrace sexuality, to be a sexual being as an infant and growing up."



Former members say Berg and Zerby wrote about their beliefs in papers distributed to members. It was Berg's how-to guide for raising sexual children. The Family International now says all "questionable publications were officially renounced and expunged between the late 1980s and early 1990s."



n Berg and Zerby's manifesto, Rodriguez was the main character.



Former member Davida Kelley told CNN, "I actually witnessed Karen Zerby having intercourse with her own son, Rick Rodriguez, at age 11." Kelley says she, too, had been abused by Berg, starting at age 5. "You were only required to have actual intimate intercourse with David Berg once you were, like, the mature age of, like, 12," she says sarcastically.



Berg was apparently so obsessed with sex he used it to expand his group around the world. Lattin says Berg sent women out to seduce men and lure them in to accept his gospel of Jesus. Lattin says Berg called the practice "Flirty Fishing."



CNN made several attempts to interview The Family International, but it refused. In a statement, the group acknowledged Berg taught sexual liberty without "instituting safeguards for the protection of minors." But it says that was corrected in 1986 and any infractions are an "excommunicable offense." The group also told CNN all of Davida Kelley's allegations are false and Zerby never abused her son.



Rodriguez, who escaped from "The Family International" in 2001, apparently was so deeply scarred that he was making plans to kill his mother. CNN has obtained a copy of a videotape he made two years ago, in which he warned, "She's gonna pay dearly, one way or the other," while brandishing a knife and loading guns at his kitchen table.



Within hours of finishing the tape, in January 2005, Rodriguez tracked down his childhood nanny, Angela Smith. Former member Kelley says "she was one of the many female adults that had intercourse with Rick Rodriguez."



In his first bloody act of revenge, Rodriguez murdered his nanny. He cut her throat and left her body in his Arizona apartment. But he was still on the hunt for his mother. Lattin says Rodriguez felt the need to take justice into his own hands because "most of the abuse was, like, 20 years ago, so the statute of limitations had expired. Most of it happened outside the U.S., so it's very difficult to prosecute."

Most of it happened outside the U.S., so it's very difficult to prosecute."



Rodriguez died alone at age 29 in January 2005 on a deserted road, four years after he fled the sect. A single shot to the head ended the misery he fought so hard to escape. His mother is still the leader of the family. She has not been charged with a crime and lives in seclusion.

It is a shame that religion was used as the front for what apparently is or was ( I have no idea of knowing for sure the current state of affairs with this cult. I would venture to say some of the same sick practices are still in use. ) an organization led by a sexual pervert. He used his so called prophet status to abuse children.

MOSCOW, Russia (CNN) -- International electoral monitors Monday questioned the fairness of the Russian parliamentary elections, in which President Vladimir Putin's party claimed a sweeping mandate that could let him wield power beyond the end of his presidential term.



With nearly 92 percent of precincts reporting, Putin's United Russia Party had 63.2 percent of Sunday's vote, according to the Central Election Commission.



That margin would be enough to form a majority in the Duma, Russia's lower house of parliament, party leader Boris Gryzlov said at a news conference.



Putin held the top spot on United Russia's list of candidates, which guarantees him a seat in parliament. The showing by United Russia is likely to allow the president to extend his influence over Russian affairs when his presidential term ends in 2008 -- perhaps as prime minister.



But the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) questioned the fairness of the polls.



"We can not say there were fair elections," said Luc van den Brande, head of the OSCE delegation, Monday.



Independent election monitors said their work had been hampered, and reports abound of state employees being ordered to support the government.



Van den Brande called the ballot a "managed election," saying the president's office had an "overwhelming influence." "It was not first and foremost an election of the state Duma members, but it was rather a referendum to the president," according to van den Brande. The Duma is the name for the lower house of Russia's parliament.



And in Washington, the White House called on Russian authorities to investigate complaints of election irregularities. U.S. officials had expressed concern ahead of the vote about the intimidation of opposition figures and the effect of "state-owned or -influenced" media in favor of Putin's party, National Security Council spokesman Gordon Johndroe said.



The UK's Foreign Office urged Russia to investigate all claims of electoral irregularities in a statement reported by The Associated Press, adding that such claims "if proven correct, would suggest that the Russian elections were neither free nor fair.



It is deeply disappointing that Russia prevented the Office for Democracy and the Institute for Human Rights (part of the OSCE) from observing the elections which would have provided expert, independent election monitoring," the statement added.



Communist Party leader Gennady Zyuganov told journalists that his party questioned the initial results, and said the party planned to conduct a vote count of its own. He said Communists would rally across the country for days in protest of what they believe is biased counting.



Opposition leader Garry Kasparov, the chess grand master who was sentenced to five days in jail for leading an unsanctioned demonstration in November, said Putin and his allies were "raping the democratic system."



"The campaign was completely dominated by all the authority that all belonged to United Russia," said Kasparov, whose Other Russia party was disqualified by election officials. "More or less, Russia now has moved to a soft version of one-party dictatorship."



But Gryzlov said: "The election is vindication that Vladimir Putin is the country's national leader, and that the Russian voters support the political course he has taken in the last eight years."



And Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov dismissed the complaints, arguing that even "marginal" parties had been allowed to take part in the campaign.



"What we faced here was a free and democratic election campaign," Peskov told CNN. "And the fact that we now, according to preliminary results, are expecting a three- or four-party parliament shows that this was really a race. The unique characteristic of that race was the leadership of one party, the front-runner, United Russia."



Three other parties are expected to hold seats in the new Duma. As of Monday, the opposition Communist Party had received 11.7 percent of the vote; the nationalist Liberal Democratic Party, 8.4 percent; and the pro-Putin Fair Russian Party 8 percent.



The remaining seven parties on the ballot, including several pro-Western liberal parties, failed to meet the 7 percent threshold for representation in the Duma.



Among those elected to the Duma were Andrei Lugovoi, chief suspect in the poisoning of former Russian intelligence officer Alexander Litvinenko in London last year.



The newly-elected Liberal Democratic Party of Russia lawmaker is now immune from legal proceedings in Russia -- the U.K. authorities had previously requested his extradition to London to face trial.



Putin, whom critics accuse of undermining political and media freedoms while president, has said he would consider taking the post of prime minister if his party were to win a landslide victory. He has already held that office, in 1999, before then-President Boris Yeltsin named the former KGB officer Russia's acting president.



He was elected to succeed Yeltsin in 2000 and won a second term in 2004.



During the campaign, Putin described his opponents as "foreign-fed jackals" and said Russia would not tolerate meddling from abroad.

Far-right leader Vladimir Zhirinovsky, the leader of the Liberal Democratic Party, said he was satisfied with the initial results. He expected his party's share of the vote to rise as high as 13 percent once all the votes are counted.



And the leader of the Fair Russian Party, Sergei Mironov, said his party was planning to issue a bill in parliament to extend the presidential term. But changing the length of the presidential term would require a change to Russia's constitution, something Gryzlov said United Russia would not support.

Russia has moved from Connunist to what looked like a more free society to what could lead in the words of one person in the above article a one party dictatorship.



Great. The United States has made a series of missteps with the former Soviet Union, especially with Mr. Vladmir.



After the Cold War, the United States wanted to take major credit for a more open society in Russia. Well, we played a part, but Russian leaders were the ones to realize Communism was a failed ideology and not good for their country. We basically rejected Russia's help in fighting terrorism prior to 9/11. Perhaps, we did not trust former KBG agents, but we also insulted what could have been a great ally in stopping those who want to bomb everything and run planes into buildings. During the Clinton administration, Russia was treated like a defeated enemy not like a potential ally.



Enter Vladmir Putin. He was already in government. He did things to get Russia's demolished economy back on track. He did not want foreign influence to be the main factor in his country. Hey, many in the United States do not want this either. If a recent immigrant, illegal or otherwise, comes to the United States and gets much influence or government help, many in this country will cry foul. Our president who will never be confused with Albert Einstein has made it his mission to piss off Putin. Stupid move number nine thousand and eighty coming from Georgie Boy and hurting our country on the international stage.



The Russian people voted this way or were forced to . Either way they did it. Maybe in their case, it really is the economy, stupid. ( Stupid being those who cannot understand why Russia is not a carbon copy or wanting to be a carbon copy of the United States.)



I do not support anyone fixing an election. I hope the Russian people will be able to eventually vote in candidates who do not want lifelong power. Hell, I hope that for United States citizens too.

A girl at my roommate's job felt my roommate was not working as hard as she does. She went to a boss about it. Not long after the so called put upon co-worker left the meeting with the boss, it was discovered her and her little croonie at the job had done something that could be seen as highly unethical. They got chewed out. My roommate had other employees take up for her . Karma is something and sometimes it is instant.

LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- No dancing down the yellow brick road for Zooey Deschanel, star of Sci Fi Channel's new Emerald City adaptation, "Tin Man." And no warbling "Over the Rainbow" a la Judy Garland, either.



"It's postmodern, more like Indiana Jones than a fairy tale," said Deschanel, whose Dorothy -- the role immortalized by Garland in "The Wizard of Oz" -- is a disaffected, motorcycle-riding waitress called DG.



Based on L. Frank Baum's novel "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz," which inspired the 1939 film classic, Sci Fi's six-hour "Tin Man" is not a musical but a brooding, special effects-driven fantasy.



"The book was written in 1900 and its story still lives," said Robert Halmi Sr., one the executive producers.



"It's a coming-of-age story," Deschanel said of the miniseries airing December 2 through December 4.



"Here's DG acting out in a teenage way before she gets swept up by the storm," the actress said of her character's ride to the alternate universe of the O.Z., or Outer Zone, on the tail of a Kansas tornado. "Then she's forced to grow up a little bit and find out how brave she is and how smart she is. On this journey, she becomes an adult."



Along the way DG meets creatures and crises that never crossed Garland's path.



Still, fans of the 1939 film will recognize the classic scarecrow in zipper-headed Glitch (Alan Cumming), the cowardly lion in the wolverine-human psychic, Raw (Raoul Trujillo), and Dorothy's little dog in the shape-shifter, Toto (Blu Mankuma).



There's a wizard of sorts in Richard Dreyfuss' vapor-sniffing Mystic Man



There's also a yellow brick road, although -- in keeping with the O.Z.'s shadowy, retro-futuristic look -- it barely glimmers.



And the title character, ex-cop Wyatt Cain (Neal McDonough), called a tin man for his tin badge, is a far more embittered type than Jack Haley's metal man was in the movie musical.



Yes, Halmi said, "Tin Man" is a "bit darker. To make a classic understood by young people today you have to talk an entirely different language."



That language includes a wickedly witchy twist on family ties that "Oz" creator Baum never conjured.



And the evil sorceress Azkadellia (Kathleen Robertson) gets far more screen time than her predecessor, Margaret Hamilton's cackling Wicked Witch of the West, did in the Garland film.



"It's a very daunting prospect when you're asked to play one of the most iconic film villainesses in history," Robertson said. "As opposed to playing Azkadellia archetypal and loud, I played her internal and psychological. She's narcissistic. She has every personality disorder that you can figure."



Although "Tin Man" is loaded with computer-generated creatures and settings, "most of the sets in Azkadellia's world were real," Robertson said.



"I didn't do a lot of green screen," she said of acting in front of plain backgrounds that are digitally completed in post-production. "I didn't have to imagine what her world was like."



Robertson also snagged the most glamorous wardrobe in "Tin Man," a clutch of sharply cut gowns with sinuous curves. Her necklines plunge to reveal chest tattoos that morph into flying Mobats, or monkey bats, which do Azkadellia's bidding.



"You can't be in those costumes and speak casually," Robertson said. "Something our director, Nick Willing, told us was that in the massive, epic world of 'Tin Man,' you can't be quiet and small. There has to be ferocity or you'll disappear.



"So I deepened my voice a little. My performance was slightly stylized and elevated. Whereas Zooey's character is the opposite. She's the one character in the piece where you think, 'Oh, that could be me.' "



It was this normal aura that clinched Deschanel's casting as DG. "I couldn't find anybody else who's so innocent, with eyes so wide open," Halmi said.



Wide-eyed or no, Deschanel didn't want to reprise Garland's pigtailed Dorothy in "Tin Man."



"That was such an incredible performance that there's no need to repeat it," she said. "I wanted to make this role my own."

A new take on a movie I watched every year on a child- I hope I have time to watch this one.

For those who normally read my journal. I am sorry that I have not written an entry in awhile. I was without Internet for a few days and busy at work. My boss is going to Pakistan for a few weeks and I will be semi-managing the store. My co-worker, Jaime, will be helping. He may not know that per say, but I need the help. I work the most days at the store out of all the employees and tired rather easily some weeks.



Texas weather needs to make up its mind. It is cold one minute and rather warm the next. This just leaves people getting sick.



Have you ever noticed that time speeds up the older you get? Or seems too. I swear some being in the universe has sped up time to like warp speed or something. Before we know it , 2007 will be a memory. It does not seem like another year has gone by. They say time flies when you are having fun. If that is the case, I am having a blast.
