Adam the little kitten.

This is Adam. A 3 month old kitten who was burned by two young girls about a month ago. He is clinging to life. He's had about 2 surgeries. He cannot survive out of his cage because most of his skin is raw. He's had his tail amputated and his ears lopped off. I just can't believe the cruelty those little girls bestowed on Adam. They're facing charges in juvie but I bet that this is only the beginning of their criminal careers. This incident happened in Cotati, Sonoma County, Calif. People up here are critical that this story has had more attention than the death of a 16 year old boy who was murdered. This is more important or at least different. This is the story of not just some creepy twisted Jeffery Dahmer type who did this. These were little girls. They were laughing when they did this. This is the reason for real concern.

I"m back and ready to blog.

Hello out there. Well I finally got a different computer. Thank you Puffy! And for myself I decided to get high speed internet. It all seems to be running smoother and quicker to say the least. Summer has been beautiful here. Surfing is definetely up. And I'm toying with the idea of starting a podcast this winter and even with Kait! Ha- ha- hee . So we will see.

I HATE MY BLOG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Since last Dec. , after I made some changes to my blog, I lost the ability to post pictures and every post was all jumbled up on the screen. So I haven't posted much since then. Yet so much has happenend. The latest is that since the stupid AT&T phone company did some work on my phone line I haven't been able to log on. Actually I think that has to do with my new landlord. He moved in recently.

And yet with all of these changes I ask myself what has changed with me? Well I realized that there was nothing I could do about my computer but yet I am closer and closer to switching to high-speed internet service. I also have taken some patience with my garden this year. In November I planted for the very first time tulips, dandelions, crokus', and my personal favorite FRESIAS.! So I have waited and they are started to bloom. I'm so excited.

Well I hope to be posting some pictures here soon after I figure out this new "Picasa-thingy" that comes with the new blogging format. Toodle loo.

Another Reason Why I Think John Travolta is Gay

I was at www.wikipedia.com looking at John Travolta's bio and found this under the heading of "Other":

"He celebrated with the Australian national football team in their dressing room following their qualification for the 2006 FIFA World Cup."

James Brown, Godfather of Soul Dies at 73

Early Christmas morning James Brown passed away from heart failure. I was saddened to hear his passing. After thinking about it for awhile I thought what a great way to leave this earth on Christmas Day. It's so like James Brown. I remember seeing his routine on television. During live performances at the end of a song he would literally be on the stage hunched over on his knees apparently overwhelmed by the music. A member of his band would come and put a blanket on him and it would look like he was consoling him. They would walk him off stage as he would be patting James on the back & then out of nowhere he would come bounding back to the stage to the screams of his audience to belt out the rest of the song. That was his trademark.

I actually remember seeing Mickey Dolenz of the Monkees do his routine on an episode of their show. Mickey was truly doing a tribute to James Brown with Mike Nesmith as the one who put the blanket on him. I read later on that alot of white children who had never heard of James Brown had no idea to that reference.

In the years that passed there were other cultural references to Brown's persona. SNL's Eddie Murphy's rendition of James Brown's Hot Tub. I still remember Eddie Murphy as James Brown getting ready to get into the hot tub, "Here I go! Hot Tub! OW! Hot Tub! Gettin' Ready to go in the Hot Tub!! Ow!"

Mr. Brown also had his troubles. Like getting arrested on PCP and his numerous divorces. His prison time. But he fullfilled his purpose in life. To entertain.

MR. SPONGE-A-LINI'S PERSON OF THE YEAR 2006 IS.......

Jennifer Shiman & her 30 second bunnies.

After thinking who I wanted to make my very own person of the year it came down to the only logical choice.

This year was filled with lots of winning Democrats, corruptive Republicans, silly celeberties, a horrible self-willed war, I needed to choose someone who did exactly what they are supposed to do; entertain.

I must have clicked on "Clarence & Woodgie" more than 100 times so far. Had a bad day go click on the Bunnies' version of "The Exorcist". Check out those bunny ears on those sheep in "Brokeback Mountain" ("I'm not queer!") And don't forget to view " this bun's for you", Kait's favorite link. She can do the dance. And speaking of the dance,("I'm gonna do the dance-do-dad00") I really think Jennifer should add "Flashdance" to her many requests. The bunnies would look cute in leg warmers and a welding mask.

Y!

Yes, the newly elected Democratic Senator Jim Webb is someone that Bush must contend with. 

Don't Push Senator Jim Webb!

Taken from Americablog.com:

At a recent White House reception for freshman members of Congress, Virginia's newest senator tried to avoid President Bush. Democrat James Webb declined to stand in a presidential receiving line or to have his picture taken with the man he had often criticized on the stump this fall. But it wasn't long before Bush found him.

"How's your boy?" Bush asked, referring to Webb's son, a Marine serving in Iraq.

"I'd like to get them out of Iraq, Mr. President," Webb responded, echoing a campaign theme.

"That's not what I asked you," Bush said. "How's your boy?"

"That's between me and my boy, Mr. President," Webb said coldly, ending the conversation on the State Floor of the East Wing of the White House....

...If the exchange with Bush two weeks ago is any indication, Webb won't be a wallflower, especially when it comes to the war in Iraq. And he won't stick to a script drafted by top Democrats.

"I'm not particularly interested in having a picture of me and George W. Bush on my wall," Webb said in an interview yesterday in which he confirmed the exchange between him and Bush. "No offense to the institution of the presidency, and I'm certainly looking forward to working with him and his administration. [But] leaders do some symbolic things to try to convey who they are and what the message is."

AND ANOTHER THANKSGIVING THREAD....

So Kait came over and yet again she made a fantastic turkey. Mmmmmm...good. The night before I went to the movies with my friends and saw "HAPPY FEET" what a great feel good flick. Marchelle went and saw it another 3 times so far! I didn't think it would make me cry, darn those cute fuzzy penguins. The next day I told Kait all about it in my kitchen just as she walkded thru the door. I started to get teary eyed like Rita Wilson did in "Sleepless in Seatle" when she was describing "An Affair to Remember" to Tom Hanks' character and the other actor in the scene. My sweet Kait has soooo much patience-I just rambled on and on about this cute movie and how the other penguins ostrisized Mumble because he couldn't sing, only dance, and he was befriended by these short little penguins who spoke in a mexican accent, and ended up saving his people just when it looked bleak for him.

Anyhoo, it rained this weekend. They put the christmas decorations up downtown. It sort of feels like the holidays. I'm sort of into it. I'll end up putting my tree up later this week.

Yeah, He did it.

Fox has canceled the much talked about special of O.J. Simpson's book, "If I Did It" where he tells the story of the murders of his wife Nicole Brown and her friend Ron Goldman from his point of view. Billed as his "confession" which is far from it, the pressure has been on Fox and the publisher to withdraw from this horrible project since word came down that the tv special would air at the end of November sweeps month. The publisher has canceled the book as well.

Last night I saw Fred Goldman on LARRY KING LIVE and he looked like he was going to explode with rage from sitting in his chair. Calling Simpson an S.O.B., garbage, and probably more things that weren't put on the air, he called for a boycott on Fox because they would be enabling a murderer. Well it looks like the pressure worked and I hope he stopped clenching his jaw because they just anounced that the special and the book have been cancelled. Now we'll just wait until O.J. catches the killers.

This CD I bought on a hunch. You can't go wrong with House music, that is if you like it. It's so hard to pick out music from just the cover or by looking at the list of artists on the back. This one was a winner. This is the kind of CD you can just play in the background while doing tasks at home or when you are driving in your car. Although this is volume 3, I have yet to hear the previous releases. One of the artists, Miguel Migs is a well known DJ who lives in the South Bay. I have one of his CD's, "Nude Tempo One", nice easy house music, not loud or too techno. This one is just really good consistent beats. Reminds me of being in a gay bar before the big crowd arives. 

Marlee Matlin, Jennifer Beals & Cybil Sheppard in a publicity photo for Season 4 of the L WORD. The L WORD premieres Jan. 7 2007. They don't look very "lesbian-ish" to me. Maybe Marlee would pass. Hmmm...we'll see. 

Happy Belated Birthday Diana Krall.  

Oh yeah. 

 

Well I have been trying to just focus on how the Dems are going to do overall on 11/7 but most of the main media sites seem to be leading with the Kerry-Foot in Mouth-Disease.

Here's a guy who didn't really think very thoroughly at what he said. He didn't look at the consequences of his own party. I think he thought, " The Dems have it in the bag(some dumbass pollster told him this-because he's so clueless about what is really going on), I finally get to say what I really think of the GOP and the president. Where's my crayon?"

Which leads us here. The conservative media outlets won't let this die. They are so desperate to keep the power in both houses and smear the Dems. In my own opinion I believe Kerry should have kept his mouth shut. If the Democrats lose both chance of obtaining power of the house and senate on 11/7 I'm so done with this donkey party. This isn't a united party. Kerry didn't win and he doesn't want his party to win on Tuesday because he is still bitter about his 2004 loss. Hey, do you think he will be well received at the Democratic Convention in 2008?

John Kerry Speaks Out

"If anyone thinks that a veteran, someone like me, who's been fighting my entire career to provide for veterans, to fight for their benefits, to help honor what their service is, if anybody thinks that a veteran would somehow criticize more than 140,000 troops serving in Iraq and not the president and his people who put them there, they're crazy.

It's just wrong. This is a classic GOP textbook Republican campaign tactic.

I'm sick and tired of a bunch of despicable Republicans who will not debate real policy, who won't take responsibility for their own mistakes, standing up and trying to make other people the butt of those mistakes.

I'm sick and tired of a whole bunch of Republican attacks, most of which come from people who never wore the uniform and never had the courage to stand up and go to war themselves.

Enough is enough. We're not going to stand for this. This policy is broken. And this president and his administration didn't do their homework. They didn't study what would happen in Iraq. They didn't study and listen to the people who were the experts and would have told them.

And they know that's what I was talking about yesterday. I'm not going to be lectured by a White House or by the likes of Rush Limbaugh who's taking a day off from mimicking and attacking Michael J. Fox, who's now going to try to attack me and lie about me and distort me.

No way. It disgusts me that a bunch of these Republican hacks who've never worn the uniform of our country are willing to lie about those who did.

It's over. "


You go JK.
