Pixies?
Ofcourse the mighty Pixies. Check out No13 Baby.

One of my favorite songs is the B side to Here Comes Your Man, Kim's Into the White. Love it. And it would seem there really is no knight.

This year is going to be the year I visit old friends abroard.

Good plan. This is going to be the year that I go someplace I've never been! Unfortunately, that place is Nashville.

Why unfortunately? i'd love to visit Nashville.

I might drop my Religious Education subject choice for a far better subject....WELSH! :D

Why not drop it for a subject which might help you get a job?

[prisoner77]

Nashville sounds good. Florida for me.

Davie my boy! How are you? As usual you are a font of great wisdom. Yes, R.I (as we called it when I was at school) is a waste time.
I think it should be dropped and replaced with first aid classes. Can you imagine what it would be like to have a nation of people who knew CPR, basic first aid etc?

Good idea mate! You can watch that new remake without subtitles - An American Werewolf in Powys.

[CrystalGeezer]

I'm sorry.

[CrystalGeezer]

Reading AYNIM's responses to Kit is kind of hilarious/creepy. I need to stop obsessing about that sight. It's not healthy. :p

One of my neighbours bought one of those Ragdoll cats,the type that stays indoors.About 300 quid.Lovely looking cat,bright blue eyes.But it HATES her.Im glad,she's a lazy fat bitch.

But it HATES her. Im glad,she's a lazy fat bitch.

One of the users also has a Ragdoll. However, he changed his user name and pretends he doesn't have a cat.

I hope the cat will eventually get used to the new owner.

[CrystalGeezer]

I'm a total wreck. I'm a mess anyway today but I had one of those moments at work today that made me want to cry a little bit, and it was so innocent and stupid. I was feeling a lot of chest pain and had a short temper and I didn't lose my mind or make a scene or anything, but I was focused on the task at hand, she wanted me to download some games to her iPad for a long flight to Ethiopia. So I have my head down and I'm explaining to her what I downloaded and how it's impossible to download these other things and she keeps trying to get my attention to look at the computer because she;s so proud of how many fish she's acquired on this little game where you earn fish and keep them in a fish tank and I'm totally ignoring her because I'm preoccupied with the iPad. And she's keeps at it and stubs her toe and just keeps saying, "I have all these fish!" and I'm completely ignoring her. :tears: Afterward I downloaded a different version of the fish game so she could earn fish another way and that made her happy, but I felt like such a complete fucking asshole and she was so proud of her accomplishment. I'm pretty much hating life right now. My brain is confused more than usual.

I don't.And I hope it clamps its claws round her husbands balls,he's an arsehole too.

Have you been to a doctor about your chest pain?

[Kewpie]

I don't.And I hope it clamps its claws round her husbands balls,he's an arsehole too.

Hahaha, too bad that's why they got a Ragdoll which does not have an instinct to attack other animals.

I heard that it was frightened and ran away when it saw a mouse .

[billybu69]

Why would someone pretend they don't have a cat?

[CrystalGeezer]

Have you been to a doctor about your chest pain?

More times than I can count on my fingers and toes since I was a child. There's nothing they can do. BUT they say I will not die from it so there's that. I just have to ride the chest pain storm.

[Kewpie]

How would I know?

I assume whoever changed his user name is a coward.

I delete posts all the time. I hope you don't think I'm a coward, I just get tired of being made fun of. :o I'll act on natural impulse then think, "Hmmmm, that could make me a target." I mean it's not like I can't take it, I'm just tired of taking it. :p

Hmm, do they think it is stress related?

How do you know they changed their name if you don't know what they changed it from? Why does omitting you have a cat make you a coward? Fear of reprisals from cat owners on the board? I don't get it. :confused:

[CrystalGeezer]

Hmm, do they think it is stress related?



Ummm, I suggested that a couple visits ago, (I go get ECGs to be safe.) There's two things going on. I have a congenital heart defect called an AV node malformation which causes supraventricular tachycardia, heart rate will be normal then sometimes exertion or NOTHING will set it off, (300 BPM). So that happens. But sometime it gets tight completely unrelated to anything. I'll be doing a project, empty thought, just getting stuff done and all of a sudden it's unbearable pain. I've figured out ways to make it go away but the doctors can't figure out what it is.

How do you make it go away?

[CrystalGeezer]

How do you make it go away?

Ummmm...I choke myself. Kind of. it;s weird, but it works. OR I do this other thing I won't go into. :D The point is it;s difficult to make the pain go away if someone is standing in the room because it looks weird, me standing there coughing and choking...bizarre. But it;'s relief from the pain. I think there's a technical term for it, my doctor didn;t know. I just figured out how to do it by asking God. Weird but it works.

I only dislike that when people do this, I end up looking like I'm having conversations with myself.

Since joining this board, my appreciation and love for Morrissey (solo) has been strongly rekindled... It's pretty weird. It's kind of amazing too. This must be what born-again Christians feel like, only I still don't think of Morrissey as Jesus...

Thanks for that, Innernette. Thanks for bringing some joy and excitement to my thus-far unhappy decade+.

Hell, I've even been neglecting my duties to The Smiths as a result...

Lol.

In post what you're thinking news, I had a type of, let's say "Teddy Bear" that gave me comfort that I resolved to drop with the new year because I thoughtit enabled something altogether unhealthy. Since dripping it I've become depressed, especially at night. I wake up lost. And my enabling brain keeps rationalizing through "signs" or whatever to embrace the concept, for the sake if the Teddy Bear! :eek: So I'm stuck in this battle of wills wondering which mentally unhealthy thing is healthier to do, because its no fun being lost in the middle if the night.

I say all this waiting for a bed to donate blood. Some lucky person gets my crazy O neggie! :p

Do that which is least harmful; taking into account both short and long term effects.

But don't allow yourself to get caught in circular reasoning. If you are giving up this "Teddy Bear" then any sign to go back to doing it is void because that is part of giving it up.

Sort of like giving up smoking. When you quit your body goes through both physical and psychological changes. You may see cigarettes everywhere and your body tells you that you need to start smoking again. You feel unwell, experience flu like symptoms and put on weight. Again you think, I should go back to smoking. That it is what defines you and you think you can't live without it. You tell yourself that you should resign yourself to that is how life should be and how it should be lived. These are all signs of your body and mind trying to convince of something untrue. Part of the relinquishing cigarettes is experiencing that. It is the process and those feelings and thoughts should be ignored because in time they will pass.

[Iona Mink]

As my contribution to the thread is it wrong that I am slightly obsessed with the messages left on the reputation point section in settings? It's like having my own secret admirers and detractors. Clearly my life needs to become more interesting.

I am thinking I love The Smiths. It has been a while since I thought that. Lately I have been listening to other bands and taking a Smiths break.

Well, it's like a Lars and the Real Girl type situation, but not a sex doll. :D And I've tried to kill it off before like he did, but that ended up just being terribly inconvenient. Good advice though. I am aware that I may see the signs I want to be seeing in order to enable myself.

Hey you've gone back to grey though. Ah I see your scale tipping to the side of admirers not haters. It's all wonky anyway. I noticed Stephane is in the red and I don't see how that is even possible.

[CrystalGeezer]

Ha, my only experience is giving up the dreaded cigarette.

On the topic of giving up stuff, I heard a commercial on the radio today. The kid from Growing Pains (I think the neighbor with curly hair) was talking about a revolutionary treatment now available in America that saved his life from alcoholism that curbs all cravings for alcohol. It's apparently some kind of treatment that takes one twenty minute session at an outpatient clinic and you're cured? I was intrigued...

I wonder if the tobacco industry would pay off any inventor of such a treatment for nicotine addiction. :cool:

Oh, really?

You do realize that we're kind of in the same club, you and me. I'm keeping track of and documenting useless signs, and you keep track of and document the useless person who does that. Yet you're just a tad more worthless as your function benefits nobody and is boring. Get a life and leave me alone.

I made a new year's resolution to listen to nothing but the Smiths/Morrissey all year long, with periodic "break" days where I'll allow myself to throw on a record by Electronic or those Modest Mouse/Cribs albums JM graced

BUT THAT'S IT. Everything else is Smiths Morrissey Smiths Morrissey Smiths Morrissey

also going to start considering the "Mozipedia" as my holy bible and wander the streets during the sabbath, quoting favourite passages as though it were the scripture of the world

because it IS the scripture of the world. In my world, anyway

So your only function in life is to see signs and evidently more importantly, post here about it and nothing else in life (actual life, not the one made up in your head) counts in your estimation? There's more to life than posting on solo, Miss 15,000-Posts-Username.

Listening to "Boomslang" for the first time in a while, and...wow. The lyrics aren't just poor, they're abysmal. No wonder I haven't played it in years :sick:

I'm thinking of going to buy a nicer suitcase to make housesitting more fun. :(

how will it?

[CrystalGeezer]

how will it?

Well, I live out of it. Now my suitcase is dull, borrowed from my sister. Since I will be househopping and displaced until February 7, I thought if I got a snazzy new suitcase in a happy color and organized my little toiletries bag, it might perk up my stupid gypsy vagabond homeless lifestyle. :o Like hating school but getting a new binder to make taking notes more interesting.

So on a tip from someone who posted a comment to this comment (somehow associated with the rating system? I haven't figured out how all that works so don't know who I'm addressing this to) I looked at Sam Esty Rayner's photography page on his facebook and I could only stand it for about 20 seconds. He's a real artist doing real artwork and they leech onto him and mooch and blaHRGRGRHRGRHRHRHHHHH. Creeptastic. He even had to write DON'T ASK ME ABOUT THE SMITHS. Really? People are idiots.

[DAVIE]

Trains and Buses have now risen over here in Wales! They certainly love to make us poor people even poorer! If the Single ticket price amount rises within the next year, I think I'll go mad.

[Thesmithsmorrissey]

Please tell me you're joking!

I've seen it happen in other people's lives

now it's happening in mine...

I received the "The Smiths: Complete Television Performances" and "Still Ill" dvds in the post today and I'm forecasting a good evening because of this acquisition

[DAVIE]

Had an overall good day today. One step closer to getting in college and one step closer to passing my Maths....still haven't done anything about reading my highway code yet though!

[CrystalGeezer]

I wonder what Morrissey is thinking when he's singing to a crowd and some of them start swaying or clapping to the beat. Is he singing thinking, "Boy, this is awkward." I would be. :p I hate when crowds start doing that.

Hahaha, that's funny.
There was one hell of a lot of swaying to I Know It's Over during the summer tour last year.
It was awkward and quite ridiculous indeed, but great at the same time.
A natural reaction to hearing/seeing Moz sing that wonderful song live I guess.

Thanks! I saw him this time last year & he was wonderful. But I'm wondering without a new book out, what do we have in store this evening. I'm on the tram now heading in.

Tonight I'm a little sad. I hate housesitting, but of the houses I sit, tonight is the last night of my favorite house. THey are moving to Portland in a couple of weeks. While they are not selling this house and it is possible someday I may sleep here again, there are little details I will miss. It's a 30's home in Atwater Village in East Los Angeles with old doorknobs and peacock tiles in the old tiny fireplace. None of the doors really shut, the hardwood floors are beautiful and have so much character. The kitchen is incredibly bright and clean. Ice cream men honk their horns as they push their carts up the sidewalk after school everyday. The Mexican neighbors next door play mariachi every weekend. A train passes hourly in the backyard. There's a liquor store two houses away run by a Chinese couple who always know what you're going to buy and have it ready as you walk through the door. The dogs Penny and Petey are cuddlers. The mood is never deceiving or secretive. Forest Lawn cemetery is a few blocks in one direction while the LA River is a few blocks in the other, beyond that Silverlake with it's cafes and boutiques and endless hills and crevices of weird.

Not an average home, an exceptional home. A comfortable home. I am going to miss it.

[CrystalGeezer]

My friends and people I work for are manic lately about making plans. I just got a text from a friend who would like me to drive over an hour and a half round trip so we can go to trivia at a bar tonight. I think I'm going to draw the line and pass.

The Sopranos = OMFG best television series OF ALL TIME
Hey Thesmithsmorrissey, forgive me for pursuing you around the threads but I just love The Sopranos, possibly the best telly I've ever watched!
What did you think of the ending?
Is Tony dead? (yes).
Will there be a movie? (no).

[Thesmithsmorrissey]

I don't think he died, no

they kind of left it open so viewers could draw their own conclusion, but I know it pissed a lot of fans off with how the series wrapped.

I don't think there will be a movie, either

the cast has aged considerably over the last five years and they'd have a hard time picking up where everything left off.

Best to leave well-enough alone, in this case

If you can be bothered you might want to go to http://masterofsopranos.wordpress.com/the-sopranos-definitive-explanation-of-the-end/.
Here you will find a pretty definitive (if lenghty) explanation of the final scene which I found convincing.

[Thesmithsmorrissey]

oh, I can be bothered, thanks!

I really wasn't! teaches me for being behind the times anyway. It's confusing me a bit at the moment, with the coma and the briefcase holding.

[Thesmithsmorrissey]

Keep watching

it will all begin to make sense towards the last few episodes, if I remember correctly.

[CrystalGeezer]

In the last 48 hours there is no part if my life and psyche that hasn't been attacked. But the most pressing thing is a tooth. I have a tad under $500 I was going to use to ask a judge to reduce a ticket so I can reapply for a valid drivers license, but I think I have to use it to find a dental school so a student can work on my mouth. I wanted to avoid that somehow, a miracle? When people experiment on me it usually hurts more to be a sign or some fucking thing but I have no choice. I'm in agony.

Just been to an Employment Training company called A4E. Christ, it was terrible! I'm sure everyone in the jobcentre must think all unemployed people are thick sods! We were there 9am-3pm and all we did is tick a few boxes about our strengths and weakness about our skills for jobs and the positives and negatvies on why it's good to work! We know all these things already, that's why we're looking for a job!! What a waste of time....

Yeah, two people walked out after 2 hours...I understand fully why they did it, but they may have their money taken off them now.

And they treat you like idiots while you're there. It's very demoralizing. I helped one lady attend those classes by driving her there. She was not so smart but was looking for something simple, one of the requirements was that she attend a job fair at a hotel in Ontario. They totally pumped her up for all the opportunities at this job fair. So she got all dressed up and printed up some resumes of her various two and three month retail history throughout the years (she was a mother most the time and had no unemployment history) and I drove her to the hotel. First off we wait in a line that was an hour long. Then when we get inside 3/4 of the booths were to sign up for the Army. The others were engineering firms looking for "load specialists" or construction companies looking for sub contractors. I think JPL was there looking for scientists, it was a TOTAL waste of time and deflated her ballooon completely. But she checked that box, went to the job fair, got her food stamps that month. Bullshit.

Yeah, we have very similar employment open days over here in colleges and community halls.

I complain about it but I'm not sure what a good solution would be. I mean it makes sense to check up on the people recieving aid, but to have them jump through useless hoops seems like a waste of everyone's time. THe whole system needs a revamp.

In the last 48 hours there is no part if my life and psyche that hasn't been attacked. But the most pressing thing is a tooth. I have a tad under $500 I was going to use to ask a judge to reduce a ticket so I can reapply for a valid drivers license, but I think I have to use it to find a dental school so a student can work on my mouth. I wanted to avoid that somehow, a miracle? When people experiment on me it usually hurts more to be a sign or some fucking thing but I have no choice. I'm in agony.

Cant you have the tooth taken out?

[DAVIE]

Thank you to the teacher who decided to give me 5 A4 pages of Maths to fill out! I maybe patient, but I'm not patient spending over 2 hours worth of Maths Homework :(

[CrystalGeezer]

Cant you have the tooth taken out?

It would be visible if I smiled. I'd look like a hick. And it's a tooth that's already had a root canal, I think. It's hard to tell exactly where the pain is radiating from and it doesn;t make sense that a tooth that had it;s roots removed would cause me pain, but the low-cost dentist I went to for that problem wasn't exactly...experienced. So there's still a temporary silver crown on the tooth that's hurting, I'm 9/10's of the way to it being fixed, except having to buy a $500 crown to put on it. It would be a shame to just remove the tooth when it's so close to being solved.

My mouth is a mess.

I've heard dental care in Tijuana is cheap which is a two hour drive. The time it would take for me to get a passport though...what's the point. One clinic that teaches dentists said there was a four month waiting list, wouldn't even take my name, said to call back everyday to wait for a cancellation. So I called back today and she recognized my voice and discouraged me from calling back again by telling me to call my local health department to find a low cost clinic in my area. Next I'll try USC, they have a dental school. I just get discouraged with these things, appointments and calling places. Then I convince myself it's pointless and use the little money I do have to buy a big bottle of ibuprofen for the pain a pair of shoes instead.

[CrystalGeezer]

Soooooo, the USC dental school is right next to the Shrine Auditorium (the last time I was there was literally hell) which pretty much makes me want to stab myself in the face as opposed to going. And buy shoes instead. FUCK!

88 bucks for the first visit. They aren't answering their phone to ask what further cost might be. They don't take appointments, they open at 7 am and only take the first 15 people.

I'm thinking about trying ritalin again. I'm just in an absolute funk listlessly wandering around the house making nothing of myself. Maybe I could focus on some paintings instead of processing signs that in reality lead to nothing.

My hesitation is that ritalin is a mild form of meth, if the signs ARE working and my other half is oblivious, he'll think I'm hittin' the pipe. :D Everytime I drink a coke these days I mentally tell myself "It's soda" just in case.

Yeah maybe. But I have this drive to keep trying, just in case. If he were told the same thing by you and stopped looking after six years, we'd miss out on so many beautiful songs. And while I don't sing or have much to offer anyone other than percieved insanity, I owe it to him to say "Yoooo hoooo! Over here maybe!" And with that, I shave a question mark of perhaps into the hairy back of uncertainty with Occum's razor.

You're putting your life on hold for the sake of a fantasy, when you could be having actual relationships with men who can offer you something substantial, tangible and real. I just don't understand it. There is no way that kind of fixation can have a positive impact on your life. Morrissey has always been looking for "The One", he's fallen in and out of love along the way...in short he's lived his life. You are forcing yourself to miss out on so much.

God, I wish Whyte would come back to the fold, he's brilliant.

Someone should take my phone away from me when I'm pissed. Or break my thumbs so I can't obnoxiously text in a moment of drunken sincerity. Both would be safest, really.

It is brilliant- one of my absolute favourites in terms of lyrics and vocal melody. I have no idea why he chose to hide it away on the b-side of 'Dagenham Dave', but that's Moz for you.

Since we're waxing enthuiastic about this song may I share a thought?
The melody is so georgeous and strong I felt it could be sung as a standard and would love to hear it sung by Sinatra, Bennet or Munro.

I think he hides all his best stuff deliberately - I can't imagine any other artist thinking it worthwhile to release an album like Swords if they weren't really, really proud of the B-sides. It took me months to get over "Lost" when I heard it. I hadn't read the lyrics of "Nobody Loves Us" before I listened to it and the lines just smacked me in the face, made me laugh ('fluff our breaks and to STUFF OUR FACES WITH CAAAAAAAKE'), made me sad, made me remember how much I miss the days when Moz wrote like this. "Dab hands at trouble with four days of stubble.." :love:

It's impossible to have a relationship. Everyone is strange, they don't act normal around me. And it's not like I'm putting out an off-putting vibe. I don't go around quoting Morrissey and saying he's my soulmate and talk about signs to people. But they all are distant as if to say "I'll humor you for a bit but your business is not with me, it is elsewhere. Keep waiting." I swear to God. I've gone through stints where I say fuck it and I'll flirt or just think in my brain "I could see cuddling with that guy." and the guy will literally walk up to me and say "I hate cuddling." It's bizarre! And I know I'm driving very fast down Crone Road with this desire to just be held if anything, but it's something bigger puppeting me. God is playing cupid which makes relationships impossible.

Relationships aren't impossible. You're just not allowing yourself to want one or consider any "normal" men as prospective partners, and you're blaming other things for that fact. Ugh. I don't want to argue and I loathe this topic but it really frustrates me. How long will it take before you finally give up on this? Ten, twenty more years of being alone? The best years of your life will be gone by that point. Does Morrissey have to be married, or dead for you to stop believing it? Would that even stop you?

*weary*

Well, it's like a Lars and the Real Girl type situation, but not a sex doll. :D And I've tried to kill it off before like he did, but that ended up just being terribly inconvenient. Good advice though. I am aware that I may see the signs I want to be seeing in order to enable myself.

[CrystalGeezer]

Oh here we go...

Juno, you are conveniently around alot waiting for the Crystal Geezer Slamfest to begin that never really takes off to your liking. What's your story?

Yes, that would stop me. If he were even just dating someone, I would stop completely.

You just have not found the right guy yet...When you find someone and create a good relationship with them, then usually your idols and fantasies are less important and take the "back seat".
It just hasn't happened to you yet. There mustn't be many nice guys around you.

[mauve21]

Hi all! Happy new year and all that. Good to see you still all strutting it about in here. I had to pop in and make sure you're all okay just like the mother hen that I am.
I have been a little peeved at Morrissey (not his music, him personally) but I guess he's got his charms to carry him through somehow, bless his old heart. Mmm.

[mauve21]

Are Morrissey fans encouraged to feel nihilistic by his lyrics? What say ye? Any psychology or sociology students greatly encouraged to apply here.
I had to post this question. It's been burning in my brain for years and years!

Hey TSM, I can't pretend to be your best mate but as far as on line connections go, I am sorry to hear you are having a hard time. It would be trite to try and offer advice as I know nothing about your situation. All I know is that you appear to be a decent and rational bloke, consequently, good things should come your way in time. (Christ that sounds like a load of insincere rubbish!)

I was just thinking that the other day. I was listening to The Queen is Dead, and, as reluctant as I am to admit it, he truly is the best. Gosh Moz, I love you even as I feel you annoy me so! Curse your voice which really is like an angels. And your wit and way with words! You are the perfect evil mastermind! Beware indeed, I was annoyed with him but I feel I am falling slowly back under his spell...I even almost felt like crying listening to The Queen is Dead. It has been too long since I last listened to it, so it is having renewed effect with his magic voice which sings truth and what I feel inside.:o

Maths course has now been ended by the Goverment...gutted! Looking frantically for any jobs that are going around my area.

[DAVIE]

Well, what has happened today? Not much really....Won a few games of pool today, although I tend to win by pure luck!
Apparently I get a free tenner if I write a letter about a short course I did in college, so I've already wrote it and I'm posting it tomorrow!
I got 2 DVDs today! The very last Harry Potter film and a remaster of The Terminator, both look pretty cool! I shall check them out tomorrow, I think I'll give Doctor Who a rest for a week or two before I decide to watch the rest of Tom Baker episodes!
I may be going on another course now, some NVQ in Customer Service....I'll give it a go, no interviews are coming my way at the mo!

I learned something the other day that made me so happy.

As a kid my family moved around alot. When divorces were done and things settled down and my dad bought a home, he picked this rural area in Orange County that I call home. Home starting in 1987, but still, it's home to me. It's a canyon with one road in and one road out. On the way in is a ranch, Holtz Ranch. All the years I was there it was an abandoned Turkey Ranch, I'd hop the fence and explore, take pictures, talk to ghosts, sit in the buildings. Since I grew up and went to college they dozed the buildings, but the ranch is still there, mustard blooms in the spring, it's unbelievably beautiful and everyone drives past is every day to get home. It's a part of the community.

http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_EKiAyHqlcPo/S4okti2MdVI/AAAAAAAAA8E/Fd-P2Op5n_M/s400/CIMG4091.jpg

So a number of years ago, since I left, someone bought the property, I believe a wealthy Vegas land developer. He first wanted to put his mansion on the ranch complete with helicopter pad. Lovely. The community fought. Then he wanted to put condos on the land, but the community fought stating sewage would be impossible. Land Conservationists identified a rare frog that lives on the ranch which scraped that idea. I think, I may not have the timeline of all this right, but this has been a battle going on for twenty years, land owners wanting to develop their land and canyon goers wanting to preserve the sanctity of the canyon. Rural. Untouched. Nature.

So something is in the works that I am conflicted, but ultimately happy about. When I lived in the canyon I had a mentor (in the beginning, it turned into a nightmare) who recognized that I was the product of a truck driver and needed to be exposed to things beyond tinkering in the garage. He would borrow people;'s cars (he didn't have one, claimed he was a true hermit) and drive me to all different types of churches all over LA and Orange County so I could experience how every different one works. In all of these travels I discovered one church that fit, that felt comfortable, and it was right down the street. St. Michael's Abbey. It's a Catholic boys school nestled in the hills near the mouth of Trabuco Canyon, a few canyons over. It smelled right, the songs were like heaven to hear, mass was conducted entirely in Latin but I learned to follow along, never took communiion because I was never baptized, but I felt they were on the same page as I was about reverence for the sacred feminine. The sanctuary has this real 50's modern feel to it, clean and sparse and organized. I just fell in love and consider it home.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fe/St_Michaels_Day_Procession.JPG/800px-St_Michaels_Day_Procession.JPG

It turns out they have acquired the property of Holtz Ranch with the hope of relocating the Abbey and boys school there. They are local, been in Trabuco nearly 50 years. They would preserve the landscape and honor the beauty of the field. AND I think that Holtz Ranch is a sacred place for some reason. I once saw a tree fall down there, I was standing in the right place at the right time, there's something about it, I couldn't be happier that the church that I love wants to build on the land that I love. I know my hippy friends will all fight it, but I think they are perfect for Holtz Ranch.

In case anyone wants to read the beautiful letter that made my day:

Who wouldn't want such well spoken, educated people who pursue a higher truth as neighbors? They even wore their vestments and walked in the little Christmas parade to make a presense in the community. :o So sweet.

http://www.canyonland.org/images/HoltzHouse.jpg

I found my first dog in this building, or he found me. People from downtown would drive up to the canyon and drop off their dogs ALL THE TIME, and Holtz Ranch became the place abandoned dogs lived, we'd stop everyday and feed them, at one point there was a pack of about 10. One of them had a litter of THIRTEEN puppies!! Thirteen puppies who had never seen a human before. I walked into where she had them, in this building and they all ran, but one of them looked me in the eye and walked right up to me. He was brown. I took him home and gave him a bath, he was actually white. :o We gave all the puppies away, I kept Al. He lived to be 18, old enough to buy cigarettes and lottery tickets if he were actually my child. :D This is where I found him. Memories, shit. :tears: I'm a mess.

Hey TSM, by implication you are saying that non thinking women should be allowed but those who read books without pictures shouldn't. Surely that's not what you mean.

Ummmm, well. Seeing as I'm kind of the expert on this topic, I'd say we sometimes just whack away like you guys. But sometimes we enhance the fantasy to fulfill some loss? I dunno. Mine are more like nurturing, healing-fucked-up-life fantasies. I literally fantasize the holding/foreplay, like I have to to even get hot enough to do anything. Maybe Amy has an issue with custard, I dunno. :p

Is this TMI?

Do you wanna hear something interesting?

I see these old Smiths videos and it gets me to thinking what I was doing around the same time. I was just a kid, 8, 9, 10. My mother was a alcoholic, but not just an alcohic, one also battling the same crazy I do. I wrap my crazy up in a package of symbolism to try and make sense of it, she didn;t have the education to do that so would do things like call the FBI and say she knows there's a threat to kill the president. And there was! But she'd see the signs or whatever and not have an outlet to make sense of them and it just caused her to be occasionally institutionalized and feared, she was very erratic. I was scared of her. So I spent most my time outdoors. We lived in a neghborhood with lots of oak trees. They made excellent swords. So I'd go outside everyday after school and in my head, using the oak branches, I'd fight evil. For years, all during The Smiths.

It was not an easy life.

My mom is better today. Hasn't had a drop in twenty years.

Also? The house we lived in was on Arena Road. Not joking.

That is some story and real life as well. Must have been hard as hell. It is weird when you think about what you yourself were doing when other things were going on. I happened to be in Manchester the weekend The Smiths made their debut but I was 14 and not into music and there for the football. But cause of that I know what the mood was like over there and what defined the place. Like a little film inside my head of what it was like.

It was grey and cold and people seemed troubled for no apparent reason and we ended up in this classic hooligan riot after the game so the need for a band with a message was very evident when I think back to that weekend although I guess I never saw it that way then as a kid.

I find you interesting so looking forward to more personal experiences from the past cause I love to read about that and listen to what other people went through.

The following is an observation and appreciation, not an invitation to attack Kewpie. But I think maybe this is how her mind works.

She's like a thread historian, much like there are art historians. So a bunch of art people will get together and say "Let's paint a painting of a guy touching God's finger and put it on the ceiling of a church!" and Kewpie would say, "Actually, just so you know, that's been done, it's called the Sistine Chapel. You can go see it here."

It's not like she's saying "HEY YOU STUPID ARTISTS, DON'T PAINT A PICTURE OF A GUY TOUCHING GOD'S FINGER! IT'S BEEN DONE!!" She's just saying you can see that painting here already, in case you want to reference something that's been done. She has a very factual brain.

Now if anyone makes fun of her based on these observations I will punch you in the face.

By Neela Banerjee

February 1, 2012, 4:37 p.m.

At the behest of the Republican leadership of a House of Representatives subcommittee, Capitol Police arrested Joshua Fox, the maker of the Oscar-nominated documentary “Gasland,” when he tried on Wednesday to film a subcommittee hearing on hydraulic fracturing, a controversial method used to tap oil and gas reservoirs.

With its images of flammable tap water, “Gasland” publicized concerns among critics of hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, of the technology’s possible effect on water supplies. The oil and gas industry and its supporters have argued that the film misrepresented the risk from fracking, which they say is minute. Fracking involves high-pressure injection of water laced with chemicals into shale beds to fracture the formations and unlock pockets of oil and, increasingly, natural gas.

Fox and his small crew had joined other media in the Rayburn building on Capitol Hill on Wednesday morning to record a fracking hearing by a House subcommittee on Science, Space and Technology, led by Rep. Andy Harris (R-Md.), a vocal proponent of fracking. Republicans wanted Fox removed because he lacked the proper press credentials to film.

Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-San Jose) said she was at another committee hearing when a staffer at the fracking hearing called her urging her to come immediately. She said she found Fox handcuffed in the hallway outside the hearing room, along with at least one member of his small crew. Of her Republican colleagues, she said, “Do these guys get the 1st Amendment at all?”

In a statement on the science committee’s website, Republicans said: “The individual removed was not accredited by the House Radio and TV Gallery and had refused to turn off his camera upon request by Capitol Police.”

Congressional hearings are open to the public. Anyone with a cellphone camera could record the proceedings, as a video on Huffington Post of Fox’s arrest shows.

House Democrats and civil libertarians lambasted the arrest. “I have served in the House of Representatives since 1992, and I had the privilege of chairing the Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties. In all that time, I cannot recall a chair of any committee or subcommittee having ever ordered the removal of a person who was filming a committee proceeding and not being disruptive, whether or not that person was accredited,” said Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.). “The proceedings of the House are open to the public because we are the People’s House.”

He only used that phrase a lot in his private life and I doubt he ever used it in any of his work. Anyhow, It is sad they destroyed his name by handing the prize in his name to idiots like Marcus Birro.

Hey Emil, could you tell me who are you and Urban Der Sturmer are talking about here?

The swedish writer Stig Dagerman. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stig_Dagerman. You can get a taste of his writing here: http://www.grandstreet.com/gsissues/gs42/gs42b.html. It's his most famous short story entitled To Kill a Child.

[Urban the swede]

Dagerman was a communist who turned a blind eye on communist killing and dictatorship and chose to only see violence by americans and the english and germans. In short just like any old member of AFA in Sweden which Emil must be a member of as he throws stones into houses and pour stinking liquids into the mailbox of swedish democrats. I could be wrong of course and he might just be a poseur that drinks red wine in small communist book cafe's.

I doubt we will get an insight into his life. I'm not even being serious so lighten up Emil!

Madonna will struggle to come to terms with being old and the way she moves onstage at halt time of the super bowl tells me that her body is not as fit as it used to be. I always struggled to understand people who were into her cause to me she is like bad commercials on tv you just end up hating as they nag and nag on about things that have no place in your own life.

Please retire Madonna and get an operation cause I bet your fanny is leaking these days. World peace my arse, you couldn't even create peace with that english twat in your own home so please brush your own doorstep clean before you take on the world. We are doing just fine without ya.

We went down and saw Paul McCartney get his star in front of Capitol Records yesterday. It was so cool hearing him talk, he was less than 50 feet away. His accent!

So. Many. People. But a beautiful day. When it got too hot, the breeze would blow, it was nice. My friend Julian was so excited, but the moment he came out and the crowd started to cheer, he felt like he was going to pass out and my other friend had to pull him out of the crowd, I felt so bad for him, but he said he still got a glimpse and we all heard him say a few words of thanks. I'm sure everyone in the crowd and Paul knew this was all propaganda bullshit but he was still a good sport about it all.

I'm crabby. I was going to start a Crabby Thread but I think it makes the moderators crabby when you start useless threads so I'll just post it here.

I felt sooooooooo bad about being crabby yesterday. My friend's mother-in-law is in town and yesterday she was SO PUMPED about this game on the iPad that you play with friends, it;s something similar to boggle. We were teaching her how to play it. I'm good with words and letters, they were getting lots of 4 letter words and I was finding 7 and 8 letter words and really racking up the points and she wanted to play with me but I was too crabby and just sat there and told her to go ahead. Then we showed her this other game called Hanging with Friends that I was totally into a month or so ago...until my sister-in-law started and kept going at LEAST 10 simultaneous games going so she could rack up points to buy little balloons and new characters, I got burnt out. Who wants to grab their phone and play 11 games at once twice a day? So when Denise wanted to play yesterday I felt like such a mega bitch when I wasn;t really into it and she totally was wanting to try things out and have me help her, I'm just burnt out. :(

(Crazy Section: If I knew for sure for sure, I'd be so right there. You know? I just don't know anything for sure. It's hard to explain. And it leaves me feeling crabby. So I'll go on doing what I do quietly taking God's cues and being with my honey in my brain.)

So every year I help my friend Noah video this Greek Dancing festival/competition. He does the videoing to make a montage fir the final night, I usually sit at a table and sell DVDs of other videos being shot of the dancers. This year is different though, no table, no retail. I'm in charge of backing up and marking the hard drives of the video clips he captures that he compiles into his montage back at the hotel. But instead if sitting in the lobby and sneaking into the competition every so often to take in the ancient music, he wants me to sit in the auditorium with his laptop on my lap backing them up, while watching the competition! My brain might literally explode by the end of the weekend. SO MUCH great work. Should be interesting.

I can't help but wonder how Islam can call itself a religion when all they do is kill people who won't follow their religion

[Emil]

Well, that is kind of stupid. It isn't Islam that kills people but human beings who claim to be muslims. And it is of course only a minuscular minority of the muslims who kills "people who won't follow their religion". And when on the subject of blood-thirsty religions I think it's safe to say that Christianity is worse than Islam. Ever heard of the Crusades? Or the Inquisition? Or the colonization of America?

So watching this talent show is like "Welcome to CG's World." It's great, God wants us to watch it, but it wasn't what we went to see but he's forcing us to in a way. Visiting friends, going to the grocery store, running errands...all of your agenda is second fiddle to watching God's greatness. It can be sooooooo irritating. In this case it's kind of entertaining, but not when you were just hoping to buy a loaf of bread and you have to watch someone have a mental meltdown at the cash register. Hard to explain.

Somehow baffled by an old comment on The Guardian:
"anyone over the age of about 16 who writes lyrics like those in the song 'seasick yet still docked' is not sub human, but definately devoid of the ability to function as a useful member of society"

Does anyone else think it's funny that Morrissey is playing at the Moviestar Arena the night of the Oscars? :p I literally just noticed that today.

What does it mean to be "hanging on the bells" in British English? :squiffy:

A Morrissey interview yesterday.

"My ideal, in truth, would be to live in a huge church. But they rarely appear on the market, and should be very expensive to keep warm. I'm already seeing myself hanging on the bells every afternoon at 18h, wearing a long robe and singing "The world is full of crashing bores."

Bell ringing,a la Quasimodo.

well, I spent time with a complete stranger in a park (ohhh errr, not what your thinking...you dirty sods) :p

turned out she was a fat goth...I was expecting a fecken pretty girl! bloody sods! haha :D

[DAVIE]

Sod this....I've had enough of Morrissey's band. They aren't worthy of Morrissey! The drummer, Tobias, Boz, the lot! Johnny Marr get the fuck back now before I have to kidnap you and keep you in a locked room with Morrissey until you sort yourselves out! I may kidnap Rourke also, but not Judas! :D

...and I also like how in this Chille performance video that the crowd doesn't really sing along or care about much of the newer Morrissey songs, until The Smiths songs start playing and they go wild, classic audience!

Oh my god....I never thought I'd ever see Morrissey sing "I Know It's Over" on an actual professional video recorded gig. My dreams are now complete, well...err almost :D

Was it a blind date? That tends to be one of the perils of them...

So the beer you were crying in about leaving your girlfriend hasn't even had a chance to go warm and you're meeting fat goths in the park? You don't waste any time, Davie.

In this possible one life of ours, Crystal. We have to make the most of it! It's essential.

Well, I saw a picture, but of cause...It was the WRONG picture, they had me fooled all along! typical sods :D

[DAVIE]

Well, looks like Mrs Davie has come back to me....Her friends told me that they weren't surprised that we would get back together. I feel complete again! At least something happy has happened in this dire month! Ohhh and I also got a free £10 voucher for Argos for writing a review on about a college...wheyy, I must be able to write OK if I got paid in shopping vouchers :p :D

Yeah, but a good part of the audience wasn't there specifically for Morrissey, but for the other guests of the festival (Chilean folklore ensembles, Adamo etc...)

Very true, I was having a rant that day. I should have put it into my rant page, which is in The Pigsty...Welcome, my friend :)

Watched the most random thing today...Called Mongrels, supposed to be some sort of adult puppet pet thing. Try to rip off Shaun Of The Dead, which is a rip off Dawn Of The Dead...so a rip off of a rip off. Hmm, right....there was a scene where "How Soon Is Now?" is playing on the telly. Then later on, Richard O'Brien appears as a zombie dog and start singing to "The Time Warp" but with different lyrics and a different vocal melody.....what the fuck?! Richard O'Brien? The Smiths? a fucked up zombie plot? It's everything I like, but it was shite!!!
