			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I really should cut back on my contacts on Flickr. There&#8217;s a small handful of them that just annoy the fuck outta me. It&#8217;s like I now see their newest picture and go there just so I can talk shit to myself about them. How horribly negative is that?</p>
<p>I&#8217;m pretty positive I&#8217;ve blogged this same thing before, probably about the same people. Ha!</p>
<p><span id="more-634"></span></p>
<p>There is this one chick, and holy shit is she annoying. At first I liked her pictures, but they are all pretty much shit nowadays. Then, with every single picture this girl posts she bitches about SOMETHING. It&#8217;s never just normal bitching like &#8220;Today was kinda shitty, because I woke up in a bad mood.&#8221; Oh, no. It&#8217;s like a family member died, and she doesn&#8217;t even know how she will go on with her life without her Aunt. Yet, you never heard her ever talk about this aunt before who lives in another state far away, ever. Then the next day she is so depressed she can&#8217;t even get out of bed. She&#8217;s so terrified that she is going to lose everyone she loves. They are all going to die. Then she will complain the next day how she is so depressed because her Aunt died, and now she can&#8217;t go to California for her birthday to visit her best friend (who is almost just as annoying) who she met on Flickr, and her 21st birthday is going to be SO horrible because she has to stay at home, with her parent&#8217;s and brother. Waaaah! Well if your so fearful your family is going to die and leave you, maybe you should enjoy spending time with them for your birthday. Then she has scoliosis. Which I have no idea what that feels like, and I&#8217;ve heard it can be painful. So, add that onto her everyday complaints. Her back hurts, and she is always out of painkillers. Never has painkillers. When she does it&#8217;s like she gets 2 from the doctor, and then she is so drugged up she can&#8217;t get out of bed for days. Then she has no painkillers. She get addicted to her painkillers, too. She is also depressed. She has been suicidal. Now, today she is having bad dreams again, and sleep paralysis. Seriously. She has sleep paralysis. Then she dyed her hair pink, and now people discriminate against her with her pink hair and her pierced nose and lip. Even her family. Her Grandma even tried to pay her to dye her hair a normal color, and she was like OMG so offended! </p>
<p>Oh yeah she&#8217;s &#8220;bi-sexual&#8221; also. So, she just cried, and cried, and cried for like days because of all the Propositions that passed in the various states opposed to gay marriage. Then took to bitching under a shitty picture about how she is a second class citizen now, and can&#8217;t marry who she wants. Yeah. It&#8217;s like please shut the fuck up. I guarantee you will grow up and marry a man, if one can even stand to listen to your complaints and drugged out nights on painkillers. I guarantee your days lesbian sex are numbered. I bet you&#8217;ve only had it a few times, and I can almost say with 100% certainty that you are not a lesbian, but a confused girl who used to have a boyfriend, and does anything she can to get attention.</p>
<p>She can&#8217;t work because of her back. She can&#8217;t go to school because of her back. She can&#8217;t take pictures anymore because of her back, yet she could like a year ago. Then when people started leaving comments and she got a following her pictures went to shit, and she started complaining more and more. Everything has stayed the same and have gone down hill at the same time for her.</p>
<p>Dude, I do not exaggerate all this crap. Ha! True shit! She says all this shit. It&#8217;s almost funny at this point. Before I click on her picture, I try to think of what could be wrong today. It&#8217;s a game almost. I know this is way, way bitchy. I realize, but I am way, way bitchy. Plus, I have no sympathy for idiots. You have to realize that every single day you complain about SOMETHING. Wouldn&#8217;t you think to yourself, &#8220;Wow, I&#8217;m kinda annoying! I complain on a daily basis. I never have a good day, ever, well except when I have lesbian sex and I want to let the whole web know I licked pussy last night, but yeah, I sure complain excessively.&#8221;</p>
<p>Then the people that everyday leave her comments, and hugs, and sympathies. Do they not see that she fucking feeds on that shit. She loves it. That&#8217;s why she does it. She wants attention. That&#8217;s why she has bright pink hair, and a major piercing in her nose, than the lip, why she&#8217;s &#8216;bisexual&#8221; and wears rainbows, why she tells everyone about her lesbian sex.</p>
<p>I bet a million dollars that if everyone stopped leaving her {hug} comments, she would start taking decent pictures again, and stop all the bitching.</p>

<p>Trend forecaster, renowned for being accurate in the past, says that America will cease to be a developed nation within 4 years, crisis will be &#8220;worse than the great depression&#8221;</p>

Thursday, November 13, 2008</p>
<p class="unnamed10" align="left">The man who predicted the 1987 stock market crash and the fall of the Soviet Union is now forecasting revolution in America, food riots and tax rebellions &#8211; all within four years, while cautioning that putting food on the table will be a more pressing concern than buying Christmas gifts by 2012.</p>
<p class="unnamed10" align="left">Gerald Celente, the CEO of <a href="http://www.trendsresearch.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #205580;">Trends Research Institute</span></a>, is renowned for his accuracy in predicting future world and economic events, which will send a chill down your spine considering what he told Fox News this week.</p>
<p class="unnamed10" align="left">Celente says that by 2012 America will become an undeveloped nation, that there will be a revolution marked by food riots, squatter rebellions, tax revolts and job marches, and that holidays will be more about obtaining food, not gifts.</p>
<p><span id="more-632"></span></p>
<p class="unnamed10" align="left">&#8220;We&#8217;re going to see the end of the retail Christmas&#8230;.we&#8217;re going to see a fundamental shift take place&#8230;.putting food on the table is going to be more important that putting gifts under the Christmas tree,&#8221; said Celente, adding that the situation would be &#8220;worse than the great depression&#8221;.</p>
<p class="unnamed10" align="left">&#8220;America&#8217;s going to go through a transition the likes of which no one is prepared for,&#8221; said Celente, noting that people&#8217;s refusal to acknowledge that America was even in a recession highlights how big a problem denial is in being ready for the true scale of the crisis.</p>
<p class="unnamed10" align="left">Watch the clip.</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="344" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/46MEqEgdLTg&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/46MEqEgdLTg&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p class="unnamed10" align="left">Celente, who successfully predicted the 1997 Asian Currency Crisis, the subprime mortgage collapse and the massive devaluation of the U.S. dollar,<a href="http://www.upi.com/Business_News/2007/11/19/Forecast_US_dollar_could_plunge_90_pct/UPI-48761195499806/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #205580;"> told UPI in November last year</span></a> that the following year would be known as &#8220;The Panic of 2008,&#8221; adding that &#8220;giants (would) tumble to their deaths,&#8221; which is exactly what we have witnessed with the collapse of Lehman Brothers, Bear Stearns and others. He also said that the dollar would eventually be devalued by as much as 90 per cent.</p>
<p class="unnamed10" align="left">The consequence of what we have seen unfold this year would lead to a lowering in living standards, Celente predicted a year ago, which is also being borne out by <a href="http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=75273&amp;sectionid=3510203" target="_blank"><span style="color: #205580;">plummeting retail sales figures</span></a>.</p>
<p class="unnamed10" align="left">The prospect of revolution was a concept echoed by a <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2007/apr/09/frontpagenews.news" target="_blank"><span style="color: #205580;">British Ministry of Defense report last year</span></a>, which predicted that within 30 years, the growing gap between the super rich and the middle class, along with an urban underclass threatening social order would mean, &#8220;The world&#8217;s middle classes might unite, using access to knowledge, resources and skills to shape transnational processes in their own class interest,&#8221; and that, &#8220;The middle classes could become a revolutionary class.&#8221;</p>
<p class="unnamed10" align="left">In a <a href="http://www.earthfiles.com/news.php?ID=1485&amp;category=Environment" target="_blank"><span style="color: #205580;">separate recent interview</span></a>, Celente went further on the subject of revolution in America.</p>
<blockquote>
<p class="unnamed10" align="left">&#8220;There will be a revolution in this country,&#8221; he said. &#8220;It’s not going to come yet, but it’s going to come down the line and we’re going to see a third party and this was the catalyst for it: the takeover of Washington, D. C., in broad daylight by Wall Street in this bloodless coup. And it will happen as conditions continue to worsen.&#8221;</p>
<p class="unnamed10" align="left">&#8220;The first thing to do is organize with tax revolts. That’s going to be the big one because people can’t afford to pay more school tax, property tax, any kind of tax. You’re going to start seeing those kinds of protests start to develop.&#8221;</p>
<p class="unnamed10" align="left">&#8220;It’s going to be very bleak. Very sad. And there is going to be a lot of homeless, the likes of which we have never seen before. Tent cities are already sprouting up around the country and we’re going to see many more.&#8221;</p>
<p class="unnamed10" align="left">&#8220;We’re going to start seeing huge areas of vacant real estate and squatters living in them as well. It’s going to be a picture the likes of which Americans are not going to be used to. It’s going to come as a shock and with it, there’s going to be a lot of crime. And the crime is going to be a lot worse than it was before because in the last 1929 Depression, people’s minds weren’t wrecked on all these modern drugs – over-the-counter drugs, or crystal meth or whatever it might be. So, you have a huge underclass of very desperate people with their minds chemically blown beyond anybody’s comprehension.&#8221;</p>

<p class="unnamed10" align="left"><a href="http://georgewashington2.blogspot.com/2008/11/top-trend-forecaster-says-were-going-to.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #205580;">The George Washington blog</span></a> has compiled a list of quotes attesting to Celente&#8217;s accuracy as a trend forecaster.</p>
<blockquote>
<p class="unnamed10" align="left">&#8220;When CNN wants to know about the Top Trends, we ask Gerald Celente.&#8221;<br />
<span class="unnamed10">— CNN Headline News</span></p>
<p class="unnamed10">&#8220;A network of 25 experts whose range of specialties would rival many university faculties.&#8221;<br />
— The Economist</p>
<p class="unnamed10">&#8220;Gerald Celente has a knack for getting the zeitgeist right.&#8221;<br />
— USA Today</p>
<p class="unnamed10">&#8220;There’s not a better trend forecaster than Gerald Celente. The man knows what he’s talking about.&#8221;<br />
- CNBC</p>
<p class="unnamed10">&#8220;Those who take their predictions seriously &#8230; consider the Trends Research Institute.&#8221;<br />
— The Wall Street Journal</p>
<p class="unnamed10">&#8220;Gerald Celente is always ahead of the curve on trends and uncannily on the mark &#8230; he&#8217;s one of the most accurate forecasters around.&#8221;<br />
— The Atlanta Journal-Constitution</p>
<p class="unnamed10">&#8220;Mr. Celente tracks the world’s social, economic and business trends for corporate clients.&#8221;<br />
— The New York Times</p>
<p class="unnamed10">&#8220;Mr. Celente is a very intelligent guy. We are able to learn about trends from an authority.&#8221;<br />
— 48 Hours, CBS News</p>
<p class="unnamed10">&#8220;Gerald Celente has a solid track record. He has predicted everything from the 1987 stock market crash and the demise of the Soviet Union to green marketing and corporate downsizing.&#8221;<br />
— The Detroit News</p>
<p class="unnamed10">&#8220;Gerald Celente forecast the 1987 stock market crash, ‘green marketing,’ and the boom in gourmet coffees.&#8221;<br />
— Chicago Tribune</p>
<p class="unnamed10">&#8220;The Trends Research Institute is the Standard and Poors of Popular Culture.&#8221;<br />
— The Los Angeles Times</p>
<p class="unnamed10">&#8220;If Nostradamus were alive today, he&#8217;d have a hard time keeping up with Gerald Celente.&#8221;</p>
<p>— New York Post</p>
</blockquote>
<p class="unnamed10">So there you have it &#8211; hardly a nutjob conspiracy theorist blowhard now is he? The price of not heeding his warnings will be far greater than the cost of preparing for the future now. Storable food and gold are two good places to make a start.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I can&#8217;t imagine living in a country that would dictate what I view on the internet, and banning websites they find controversial. I wouldn&#8217;t even mind the fact that the Government blocked websites that have things like child porn&#8230;because there is nobody in the entire world who would ever need to look at that&#8230;and if they did they should be executed because they are sick beyond belief. Yet, even that wouldn&#8217;t stop those disgusting people from doing bad things. </p>
<p>I couldn&#8217;t imagine not having the right to view things about our Government, and getting to read the other side of the whole picture. Not just the one they paint and want everyone to believe. Or being prosecuted for voicing an opinion opposite of what our Government does. I really can&#8217;t fathom that. </p>
<p>If Australia is going to do this, how long until it happens here? I thought this was America?</p>

Wednesday, October 29, 2008</p>
<p class="unnamed10" align="left">The Australian government is set to impose Chinese-style Internet censorship by enforcing a universal national filter that will block websites deemed &#8220;controversial,&#8221; as part of a wider agenda to regulate the Internet according to free speech advocates.</p>
<p class="unnamed10" align="left">A provision whereby Internet users could opt out of the filter by contacting their ISP has been stripped from the legislation, meaning the filter will be universal and mandatory.</p>
<p class="unnamed10" align="left">The System Administrators Guild of Australia and Electronic Frontiers Australia have attacked the proposal, saying it will restrict web access, raise prices and slow internet traffic speeds.</p>
<blockquote>
<p class="unnamed10" align="left">The plan was first created as a way to combat child pornography and adult content, but could be extended to include controversial websites on euthanasia or anorexia,&#8221; reports the <a href="http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,24568137-2862,00.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #205580;">Australian Herald Sun</span></a>.</p>
<p class="unnamed10">Communications minister Stephen Conroy revealed the mandatory censorship to the Senate estimates committee as the Global Network Initiative, bringing together leading companies, human rights organisations, academics and investors, committed the technology firms to &#8220;protect the freedom of expression and privacy rights of their users&#8221;. (<em>Complete black is white, up is down, double talk</em>).</p>
<p class="unnamed10">Human Rights Watch has condemned internet censorship, and argued to the US Senate &#8220;there is a real danger of a Virtual Curtain dividing the internet, much as the Iron Curtain did during the Cold War, because some governments fear the potential of the internet, (and) want to control it.&#8221;</p>
</blockquote>
<p class="unnamed10" align="left">Speaking from personal experience, not only are &#8220;controversial&#8221; websites blocked in China, meaning any website that is critical of the state, but every website the user attempts to visit first has to pass through the &#8220;great firewall,&#8221; causing the browser to hang and delay while it is checked against a government blacklist.</p>
<p class="unnamed10" align="left">This causes excruciating delays, and the user experience is akin to being on a bad dial-up connection in the mid 1990&#8217;s. Even in the center of Shanghai with a fixed ethernet connection, the user experience is barely tolerable.</p>
<p class="unnamed10" align="left">Not only are websites in China blocked, but e mails too are scanned for &#8220;controversial&#8221; words and blocked from being sent if they contain phrases related to politics or obscenities.</p>
<p class="unnamed10" align="left">Googling for information on certain topics is also heavily restricted. While in China I tried to google &#8220;Bush Taiwan,&#8221; which resulted in Google.com ceasing to be accessible and my Internet connection was immediately terminated thereafter.</p>
<p class="unnamed10" align="left">The Australian government will no doubt insist that their filter is in our best interests and is only designed to block child pornography, snuff films and other horrors, yet the system is completely pointless because it will not affect file sharing networks, which is the medium through which the vast majority of such material is distributed.</p>
<p class="unnamed10" align="left">If we allow Australia to become the first &#8220;free&#8221; nation to impose Internet censorship, the snowball effect will only accelerate &#8211; the U.S. and the UK are next.</p>
<p class="unnamed10" align="left">Indeed, <a href="http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/june2007/120607Blair_media.htm" target="_blank"><span style="color: #205580;">Prime Minister Tony Blair called for Internet censorship</span></a> last year.</p>
<p class="unnamed10" align="left">In April 2007, <a href="http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/april2007/130407internet.htm" target="_blank"><span style="color: #205580;">Time magazine reported</span></a> that researchers funded by the federal government want to shut down the internet and start over, citing the fact that at the moment there are loopholes in the system whereby users cannot be tracked and traced all the time. The projects echo moves we have previously reported on to clamp down on internet neutrality and even to designate a new form of the internet known as Internet 2.</p>
<p class="unnamed10" align="left">Moves to regulate the web have increased over the last two years.</p>
<p class="unnamed10" style="padding-left: 30px;" align="left">- In a display of bi-partisanship, there have been calls for <a href="http://news.com.com/Congress%20may%20consider%20mandatory%20ISP%20snooping/2100-1028_3-6066608.html?tag=sas.email"><span style="color: #205580;">all out mandatory ISP snooping</span></a> on all US citizens by both Democrats and Republicans alike.</p>
<p class="unnamed10" style="padding-left: 30px;" align="left">- In December 2006, Republican Senator <a href="http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/december2006/151206mccainbill.htm"><span style="color: #205580;">John McCain tabled a proposal</span></a> to introduce legislation that would fine blogs up to $300,000 for offensive statements, photos and videos posted by visitors on comment boards. It is well known that <a href="http://thinkprogress.org/2006/05/13/mccain-attacks-blogosphere/"><span style="color: #205580;">McCain has a distaste</span></a> for his blogosphere critics, causing a definite conflict of interest where any proposal to restrict blogs on his part is concerned.</p>
<p class="unnamed10" style="padding-left: 30px;" align="left">- During an appearance with his wife Barbara on Fox News in November 2006, <a href="http://thinkprogress.org/2006/11/14/hwbloggers/"><span style="color: #205580;">George Bush senior</span></a> slammed Internet bloggers for creating an &#8220;adversarial and ugly climate.&#8221;</p>
<p class="unnamed10" style="padding-left: 30px;" align="left">- The White House&#8217;s own <a href="http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/september2006/070906terroristrecruiters.htm"><span style="color: #205580;">de-classified strategy</span></a> for &#8220;winning the war on terror&#8221; targets Internet conspiracy theories as a recruiting ground for terrorists and threatens to &#8220;diminish&#8221; their influence.</p>
<p class="unnamed10" style="padding-left: 30px;" align="left">- The Pentagon has also announced its effort to <a href="http://www.rawstory.com/news/2006/Raw_obtains_CENTCOM_email_to_bloggers_1016.html"><span style="color: #205580;">infiltrate the Internet and propagandize</span></a> for the war on terror.</p>
<p class="unnamed10" style="padding-left: 30px;" align="left">- In an October 2006 speech, Homeland Security director <a href="http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/October2006/171006Web.htm"><span style="color: #205580;">Michael Chertoff identified the web as a &#8220;terror training camp,&#8221;</span></a> through which &#8220;disaffected people living in the United States&#8221; are developing &#8220;radical ideologies and potentially violent skills.&#8221; His solution is &#8220;intelligence fusion centers,&#8221; staffed by Homeland Security personnel which will are already in operation.</p>
<p class="unnamed10" style="padding-left: 30px;" align="left">- The U.S. Government <a href="http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/january2007/180107bloggers.htm"><span style="color: #205580;">wants to force bloggers</span></a> and online grassroots activists to register and regularly report their activities to Congress. Criminal charges including a possible jail term of up to one year could be the punishment for non-compliance.</p>
<p class="unnamed10" style="padding-left: 30px;" align="left">- A landmark November 2006 legal case on behalf of the Recording Industry Association of America and other global trade organizations sought to <a href="http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/november2006/291106shutdown.htm"><span style="color: #205580;">criminalize all Internet file sharing</span></a> of any kind as copyright infringement, effectively shutting down the world wide web &#8211; and their argument was supported by the U.S. government.</p>
<p class="unnamed10" style="padding-left: 30px;" align="left">- A landmark legal ruling in Sydney goes further than ever before in setting the trap door for the destruction of the Internet as we know it and the end of alternative news websites and blogs by creating the precedent that simply <a href="http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/december2006/201206illegaltolink.htm"><span style="color: #205580;">linking to other websites is breach of copyright</span></a> and piracy.</p>
<p class="unnamed10" style="padding-left: 30px;" align="left">- The European Union, led by former Stalinist John Reid, has <a href="http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/october2006/261006targetsbloggers.htm"><span style="color: #205580;">also vowed</span></a> to shut down &#8220;terrorists&#8221; who use the Internet to spread propaganda.</p>
<p class="unnamed10" style="padding-left: 30px;" align="left">- The EU data retention bill, passed after much controversy and implemented in 2007, obliges telephone operators and internet service providers to store information on who called who and who emailed who for at least six months. Under this law, investigators in any EU country, and <a href="http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/may2006/150506information.htm"><span style="color: #205580;">most bizarrely even in the US</span></a>, can access EU citizens&#8217; data on phone calls, sms&#8217;, emails and instant messaging services.</p>
<p class="unnamed10" style="padding-left: 30px;" align="left">- The EU also proposed legislation that would prevent users from <a href="http://infowars.net/articles/October2006/171006Internet.htm"><span style="color: #205580;">uploading any form of video</span></a> without a license.</p>
<p class="unnamed10" style="padding-left: 30px;" align="left">- The US government is also funding research into social networking sites and how to gather and store personal data published on them, according to the <a href="http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/july2006/030706networksnooping.htm"><span style="color: #205580;">New Scientist magazine</span></a>. &#8220;At the same time, US lawmakers are attempting to force the social networking sites themselves to control the amount and kind of information that people, particularly children, can put on the sites.&#8221;</p>
<p class="unnamed10" align="left">Governments are furious that their ceaseless lies are being exposed in real time on the World Wide Web and have resolved to stifle, regulate and control what truly is the last outpost of real free speech in the world. Internet censorship is perhaps the most pertinent issue that freedom advocates should rally to combat over the course of the next few years, lest we allow a cyber-gag to be placed over our mouths and say goodbye to our last medium of free and open communication.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the countless things that piss me the hell off about people is this&#8230;</p>
<p>Ebay. So, I win something on eBay. I always, always pay immediately. Like I win, and then I pay. I think at that point the person should leave me feedback. I refuse to leave feedback for anyone who doesn&#8217;t leave me any first&#8230;because seriously, I did my job. I won and paid. Time for my feedback. When your job is done, i.e. you&#8217;ve shipped my product and it&#8217;s arrived, then I will leave you feedback.</p>
<p>I have 13 feedbacks. I would like more you know, and I know I&#8217;ve won close to 20. </p>
<p>Why are people so stupid? Why can&#8217;t the world be filled with people like Jeremy &#038; I? Why god, why?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>God, I am having such issues with this freaking blog!</p>
<p>First, off I cannot get coffee cup FTP to connect to it. I emailed Yahoo, and they said it&#8217;s working fine, but still I can&#8217;t get it to work. So, therefore I cannot get a new theme going, except for old ones, and half of those don&#8217;t work or never have.</p>
<p>Then every time I post a video, it fucks up my whole blog where things aren&#8217;t in the tables they are supposed to be in, and are all over the place. Or if it doesn&#8217;t mess with the layout of everything the video doesn&#8217;t show up&#8230;just a black box, like the one below. Every video I&#8217;ve ever posted just showed up by accident, and I have no idea how it showed up.</p>
<p>The spacing when I type things out is all wonky. I&#8217;m not sure if it is wordpress, yahoo or both. It make sit such a drag to even come here, so when I do feel the urge, it pisses me off.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m thinking I need to go look elsewhere for my blog, except I am SO used to just using Yahoo. I don&#8217;t know why, maybe because I&#8217;ve been here for like 6 years. Plus, it sets wordpress all up for me and stuff. I don&#8217;t know how to do that shit on my own.<br />
So, where do you do all your webpage stuff at? Is it easy? I&#8217;m seriously stupid when it comes to that kind of stuff, and I need easy if not really easy. It has to be cheap too. I only pay like $10.00 a month.</p>
<p><strong>UPDATE:</strong> Figured out the problem with the video&#8217;s. Now need to figure out the FTP problem. Okay apparetnly it was coffeecup FTP that was messing me up. Filezilla works wonderfully.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m going to try to sum myself up in person.</p>
<p><span id="more-490"></span></p>
<p>Deep, deep, deep down inside, I&#8217;m a good person. LOL! I&#8217;m sensitive, but the older I get the less sensitive I am. That kinda sucks. I am lazy, and don&#8217;t do things until I absolutely have to. I&#8217;m messy, but on the other hand I am a bit OCD. So, when I clean, I can&#8217;t just clean, I have to organize and have the spices or waters in the fridge facing forward. When I do something, I do it to the best of my ability. Nothing bugs me more then something done half-assed. I&#8217;m a night owl, and don&#8217;t like having to go to bed, but I loooove sleeping. I love making things, but after I&#8217;ve made something, I&#8217;m over it and ready to try my hand at something new. I don&#8217;t craft, because I hate cleaning up afterwards. I&#8217;m a loyal friend if I even let you get close enough. I&#8217;m <span style="font-style: italic">really</span> picky about who I call a friend. Like, really picky. If you bug me one iota, then we won&#8217;t continue the path to friendship. Therefore, I prefer to just have my family as friends. I can be caring &#038; understanding. I&#8217;m actually not a very loving person, in that I don&#8217;t hug and stuff. I&#8217;m not really touchy feely unless it is with the kids or Jeremy. A lot of the time I am really sarcastic, only with the people I&#8217;m comfortable with though. I try to be funny a lot, and I like when people laugh. I&#8217;m pretty much an open book. I&#8217;m not embarrassed to tell someone something about myself&#8230;even if it is shocking to them. I am shy, and won&#8217;t say much at all if I don&#8217;t really know you. I am polite, and will smile a lot in an uncomfortable or unfamiliar situation. I can get pissed off really easily. I am a horrible conversationalists. I don&#8217;t know how to react when people are crying or upset. I will feel super uncomfortable, and not know what to say&#8230;or say something that sounds cheesy and stupid. I hate talking on the phone, and usually don&#8217;t answer it unless it&#8217;s Jeremy. I don&#8217;t really return phone calls unless it&#8217;s important. I don&#8217;t like small talk with people, I find it pointless and a waste of my time. Which is why I avoid people I don&#8217;t really know. I will go out of my way to avoid contact with an acquaintance in public, because I just don&#8217;t need it. I&#8217;m extremely moody. I can be happy &#038; joking around to mega bitch in 30 seconds. I can also be happy and then get pissed off about something that happened a year ago in less then a minute. This is with the ones I love. They are so lucky. My Mom has always been a shit talker. Like out in public and you see a chick with fucked up hair and a god awful outfit on, she will point it out and talk about the chick. Obviously, my sister and I picked this up. So I am a total shit talker. I will usually talk shit about people that bug me. It can be just me talking shit in my head or to Jeremy. I cannot like how you look, so I talk shit about you to myself. I pretty much hate every single person who drives on the road that I don&#8217;t know. Sometimes, I am cussing someone out in my head in the morning dropping the kids off at school, only to find that it is their teacher or friends parent. So, I smile and call them a fucking idiot in my head. Yeah, everyone on the road seems to think they are the only ones on the road, and that makes me want to hurt them. I tend to say things that sound pretty harsh, and I obviously don&#8217;t really want to hurt someone, but yeah&#8230;it feels better to say it. I like to think of myself as <span style="font-style: italic">very aware</span>. Such as, I am aware of my surroundings. I know when there is a car behind me or in front of me. I know when someone is behind me when I walk into a door. I always, always, see someone I know but don&#8217;t know in public. I hate that too! That is when I wish I was blissfully unaware of my surroundings. That is why I will avoid them. Ha. I will hear things, and pick up on things I wish I didn&#8217;t. I&#8217;m not a girly-girl or a goody good. I&#8217;m not a happy go lucky person, but I&#8217;m not suicidal either. I&#8217;m somewhere in the gray.<br />
People that bug me&#8230;</p>
<ul>
<li>People who think they are cooler then they really are.</li>
<li>People who are complete morons, who have a flock of other morons, and they think that they are a cool bunch of people all stroking each other&#8217;s ego&#8217;s.</li>
<li>People who step up on their soap box and preach about whatever it is they want to preach about. It doesn&#8217;t make anyone give a shit anymore, and it annoys.</li>
<li>Misinformed idiots. People who have an opinion on something they have never experienced and know nothing about..but saw it on T.V.</li>
<li>People who don&#8217;t think before they speak.</li>
<li>Rich people who think they are better then everyone else because they are driving a Mercedes, and live in a big house&#8230;but are complete douche bags.</li>
<li>Bad drivers.</li>
<li>Slow drivers.</li>
<li>Oblivious drivers.</li>
<li>People who talk shit about or preach about how dangerous Pit Bulls are.</li>
<li>People who act like my dogs are dangerous.</li>
<li>People who don&#8217;t like animals.</li>
<li>Fake people.</li>
</ul>
<p>I didn&#8217;t mean for this to turn into this pissy post. I was actually on Flickr, and was annoyed. That turned into this huge thing. I find on Flickr like 10% of my contacts are my contacts because they bug me. Obviously, they didn&#8217;t annoy me at the beginning, but now yes. I seriously would delete them, but I like when they update with a picture, and then I go talk shit to myself. I&#8217;ve totally stopped commenting on people&#8217;s pictures because they have enough strokers, and I get all bitter that nobody ever comments on my pictures. I comment if I seriously like the picture, otherwise&#8230;not gonna do it. I post decent pictures every once in a great while. Yet, I will get nothing. Pisses me off. I&#8217;m not in a clique of  idiots, so I don&#8217;t get the ego strokes. I don&#8217;t even want the ego stroking, I just want some recognition on a good picture. It makes me wonder what it is about me that doesn&#8217;t attract people&#8230;which is the reason for my first part of this post. Sorting out who I am. I wonder do I reveal to much? Is there not enough mystery to me, so nobody is interested? Can people just tell, that I am a bitch? Maybe, I release the stay away from me vibe over the internet? I hate the fact that I have to kiss your ass and comment on 15 pictures of yours for someone to throw me a bone on one, and it is never even a good picture. It&#8217;s like my nipple is hard, and I get a comment pointing that out. God, how did a website where you share your pictures become such an annoyance to me? Actually, I know my brother feels the same way. It sounds like I want to be apart of the popular fuckwads on Flickr and have them accept me, but I really don&#8217;t. They bug! The shit they say bugs.</p>
<p>For instance there is this couple on there, that someone once commented they are &#8220;The Prom Queen &#038; King of Flickr&#8221;. Oh pull-ease! You can tell the dude thinks he is pretty much the shit. With every chick oohing and aahing over his pictures daily. He says the most asinine things too. Once he had a faux hawk, and he said something about &#8220;<span style="font-style: italic">Rockin&#8217; the hawk!</span>&#8221; Then his wife comments on how he&#8217;s so hot with his hawk. Okay, come on now, guys. You are not <span style="font-style: italic">rockin&#8217; the hawk</span>, fag boy. You have hair covering your entire head. You are not hardcore, nor are you cool, except to a bunch of middle aged fucks like yourself. If you were <span style="font-style: italic">rockin&#8217; the hawk</span>, you&#8217;d actually need to have a real mohawk. Plus, I&#8217;m pretty much sure someone with a real mohawk would never, ever say they are <span style="font-style: italic">rockin&#8217; the hawk</span>. Like ever. Another he was working on his Harley in the garage and watching basketball, and he titles it <span style="font-style: italic">Bikin&#8217; &#038; Ballin&#8217;. </span>I think it&#8217;s the words he uses that bugs me so bad, like he&#8217;s so cool. So hip. Not!<br />
Okay, so now you get to have a glimpse of the fucking bitch Stephanie. I hope you enjoyed. Hey, maybe you even agree with me. I guess maybe anyone who reads this will agree, I am a bitch. Well, I am. I&#8217;m nice too. Really, I am. These were just some things that annoyed me.</p>
