Bad Cats (Funny) and what they do when you leave them alone!

In 2000 the group PETA produced a funny video about "Bad Cats" and what happens when you leave them alone. The idea was to draw attention to the need to Spay and Neuter cats to control the feral population.

From The Washington Post, When Photos, Memories Are A Little Hazy:

"So you've maybe got a famous murderer in the family. Or you were married to one. He's extradited, he's very much in the news, and he's just as creepy as you remember him. You'd like to smack him upside the haid. You'd also like to prove to the world what a complete, dweeb-faced liar he is.

To do that, however, the world needs for you to please go into your spare closets and basements and look for old Christmas photos of him, specifically from Dec. 26, 1996, to prove he wasn't in Boulder, Colo., with the dying JonBenet Ramsey..."

The JonBenet Effect

From The JonBenet Effect - Yahoo! News, during a tongue-in-cheek comparison of JonBenet Ramsey and John Mark Karr to Chandra Levy and Gary Condit:

"What ever happened to Chandra and Gary? Who cares?! We've got their replacements in JonBenet Ramsey and John Mark Karr. They're younger, weirder and wear more make-up."

Lost Hope

Wow... the summers seem to be going by faster and faster every year. So much I wanted to accomplish this summer, and I've done... nothing. NOTHING!!! So much I wished to accomplish in my life, and I've done nothing.

I turned 38 one week ago. Do I feel 38? I dunno... I've never been 38 before, so I've really nothing to compare it to. But I will say this -- I feel like I've let my life pass me by. I feel young at heart, yet weary and beaten and oh so jaded. Tonight, my 20 year high school class reunion will be heald... but I won't be there. I've no money to pay the $50 cost. No car to take me there and back. No spouse or children to show off. No degrees or career to boast about. In short, I'm still living the same now, 20 yrs after graduation, as I did at 19, one year after graduation. The only real difference -- at 19, I still had hope.

Quitting Smoking?

The doctor has placed me on Wellbutrin XL. Wellbutrin is the marketing name for the anti-depressant bupropion, which is also marketed as a quit smoking aid under the name of Zyban. The exact reason for the doctor prescribing this for me is unclear. She said it would help with my depression AND help me to quit smoking. We had discussed my mood, as I was seeing her about getting my Zoloft prescription refilled. And we had also discussed my cutting down smoking (as we do everytime I go to see her). When she left to get my Zoloft script, she came back with a script for the Wellbutrin, too. So... I just started on the Wellbutrin this morning. I will be taking one 150 mg Wellbutrin tablet every morning, and I will also continue to take 200 mg daily of Zoloft, but I will now be taking the Zoloft at night rather than in the morning. So far, I notice nothing from the Wellbutrin-- neither a lift in my mood nor a reduction in my cravings for cigarettes. But it is only my first day, so we'll see how it works out as it continues to build up in my body over the course of the next month or so.

Resistance is Futile...

Well... where have I been? Let's see... mostly I've been here and here, but I've also managed to waste some time here and here.
radio.blog club offers a stand alone player(currently radio.blog v. 2.5), which can be downloaded for free, and used to host your favorite songs on your website. It also offers a juke.blog, which you can access from the site, and requires no downloading, but which can be 'popped-up' from the web page so you can continue listening as you surf the net. Both the radio.blog and the juke.blog enable you to stream selected music, so again, no downloading is required. I especially like the juke.blog. It's easy to use... just search for your favorite songs and add them to your playlist. The search results come from a list of radio.blog users who are currently hosting your requested song/artist, and who have selected to share their music with radio.blog club members. And almost any song you're looking for can be found.
Playsite is a UK based game site which hosts a variety of flash,shockwave and java games. Achieving a high enough score on a game will earn you P-nuts, which in turn can be used to enter competitions for prizes. You can also purchase the P-nuts, if you find playing games to tedious but still want to enter the competition and/or you wish to enter the competition more times than your earned number of P-nuts will allow. I don't know if it's worth forking out the money for playsite's imaginary currency. I've never won anything in the competition other than more P-nuts, which I was able to use to enter the competition again and win more P-nuts, etc. But I have to say, Lightening Pool is a truly fun and addictive game.
As for Global Consciousness, I'm not exactly sure why I've spent so much time on that site, but I'm intrigued by it, for some reason. It kinda started for me as a Google Widget. Then I found myself visiting the site... and, well...
But about those Google Widgets! I love Google... and I love widgets! There's so many different widgets you can add to your personalized Google homepage! Not only is there the Global Consciousness module, but radio.blog and Playsite also offer modules. There's widgets that will show you the time... mini-game widgets... instant messaging widgets... widgets that allow you to browse the web within a module on your Google homepage... a large number of search and news related widgets... and the list goes on and on and on.
Oh yes... I almost forgot to mention, I've also been spending a lot of time here and here. But perhaps I'll get into that tomorrow.
