Someone recently set me straight on something, and so I thought I better clarify facts before I let the subject fade, regarding my old scientology post. I know many people who have read "dyanetics" by L. Ron hubbard, and was totaly blown away by it. They never brainwashed, or killed anyone after reading the book. Not everyone who reads the book is a member of the cult, only a curious reader.
To become a member however, is totally different. I however won't rehash what has already been written here: http://www.xenu.net/" title="http://www.xenu.net/" target="_blank"http://www.xenu.net/ (which is my favorit of about 1000 pages dedicated to debunking scientology BS.)
Here is a quoted on-line petition anyone can sign: http://www.petitiononline.com... The petition reads:
To: The United States Department of Justice
We, the undersigned, demand that the United States Department of Justice, immediately and without delay, commence an investigation into the activities of the Church of Scientology.
We, the undersigned, allege that the Church of Scientology, the RTC (Religious Technology Center) and their affiliate organizations are involved in a multitude of illegal activities, including, but not limited to, perjury, subornation of perjury, murder, harboring a fugitive, harrassment, treason, practicing medicine without a license, hate crimes, battery, assault, negligence, violations of international law and other crimes.
We, the undersigned, demand that the Church of Scientology and it's affiliated organizations tax exempt status be revoked.
We, the undersigned, demand that the Church of Scientology and it's affiliated organizations be forced to turn over Heber Jenztsch to the Spanish authorities for trial.
We, the undersigned, demand an immediate investigation of the Church of Scientology and all of it's affiliates activities in Clearwater, Florida. -----
Well, if I'm a nut I am in good company. 8805 signatures so far, and growing everyday.

I don't know what to think about MJ anymore. He is most definantly strange, but does he like ot screw the kids? A big part of me says yes! Just because it's so unnatural to want to keep strange kids in his house, and sleep near them. That is @#$%^& strange.
On the other hand, he is as rich as god, and would make a great target if you were looking for a law suit. After all the parents that are suing MJ for molesting their kid, is the same parents who thought it would be a good idea to let their kid spend quality time with him in his house. To me that is just as weird as MJ himself.
Yes, I do think people are greedy enough to try such a thing. But what if they are telling the truth. All these people that show up with signs of support, and cheer when they see him... how would this feel to the child? To see the person who *molested* him being held up like a god in a circus trial by all his equally weird fans.

| 27 year old chicken |
| 04.21.04 (8:33 am) [edit] |
I made the big move to Richmond, and everything was going smoothly. Then disaster struck. I had a wisdom tooth that was bothering me, and I decided to finally have it taken care of. Make no mistake, I was not looking forward to it. But I went. The dentist couldn't do anything... but he tried. He nearly ripped off my head and only succeded in busting the tooth all to hell.
So, before I know whats happening, he's made me an appointment with an oral surgeon. Know this, at this point I am very frightened, but the morning I have to go, my nerves are so torn up I nearly barf all morning.
Everything is cool though, because they knock you out and you feel nothing. Knocking me out is the only way to go. Well, when I get there it's crowded. The doctor is an hour late for work. Me and a lady go smoke a fag, and she starts telling me about this place. She says they are good, but they don't knock you all the way out.
WHAT!?!
Her son was there to have the same thing done I needed done, and he was first. The doc finally shows, and I am placed in the next room. Then I hear it. I heard them working on the guy, and he was screaming! He didn't just scream for the IV, he screamed for a long time. Then I heard the drill, and he was still screaming!
I couldn't take it, I walked out. After the soreness is gone a bit, I will find a surgeon who will knock me ALL THE WAY out, or I will just suffer.
But i can not listen to the screaming, and the drills when I am already so sick in the stomache from nerves. Now I am left feeling like the worlds oldest chicken. :(

| Internet pet peves |
| 04.15.04 (6:24 pm) [edit] |
There are a few things that really get on my nerves on the internet. I really can't handle these things for more than a moment before I am ready to just punch my PC. Although this first thing is not a pet peve, it's still an interesting fact about tblurt.
Ya know, your just supposed to leave a one liner 'tag' in those things, and keep going. It's not a chatroom. But you should visit the Chathouse which is a total HTML chat forum that is designed like a house. There are different "rooms" for people of all walks of life, and registration is free. Unless you pay for the extra features (just like tblog). That way when people like me are writting in their blog, they don't have to look up and see posts like: *curls up in bed* and other astericked actions that we all know are impossible from the internet. Especially cyber-cuddling, and *making* noises such as sighs and pouts. AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH is my only reply to those. You guessed it, most chat lingo is my pet peve. I would say "see ya in the chatrooms"...but you probably won't. The last time I went into a chatroom, I asked anyone for a conversation about anything... anything that has nothing to do with sex. Some guy actually got offended and told me "If your looking for "intelligent conversation" (which was my words) you've come to the wrong room." So, I give up! I give up.

| Bad words |
| 04.15.04 (5:47 pm) [edit] |
What is a bad word?
Fuck shit piss dick tits cunt and cock .
Those are the magic words people can't say on TV. After all, someone might be offended. However it's ok to say Goddamn. Goddamn is probably the most offensive word there is to most Christians that *I* know. It is not only a "bad word" but it using the "lord's name in vain" isn't that supposed to be the whole point of censorship? Not offending the Christians? So out of all the words that keep being censored, the very worst of the worst keep getting repeated over and over and...
Shit shouldnt be a "bad word" anymore anyway. Shit is a part of our body, and daily lives. Sometimes it's so much easier to say shit, than explain that "You are sick of all the peices of paper clips, and stapples, and pens, and lighters, and roaches scattered on the desk" as opposed to "Look at the shit!" I think "shit" is a bad word because it is lazy english, and no one likes to think about feces.
Fuck is about the same thing as shit, only a bit more extreme. The most comon way the word fuck is used, is when you get really pissed all of a sudden. "FUCK!!!" It's not seemly to feel that emotional, people don't like to see it. If you are socialy out of control enough to yell this, you are out of control. And of course there's the people who never get laid.
The rest are just body parts, so what's the big crime? All these words are normal parts of everyday english, but MANY people find "goddamn" very painful to hear. I find it strange that GD is the only swear word they air on TV.

| Real monsters |
| 04.14.04 (5:08 pm) [edit] |
There are a few real monsters that have been reported about in the news lately, and I find it amazing that I only heard it once before it dissapeared. No one FREAKED OUT! and I think that is wrong somehow.
Case one, the thing called bloop.
http://www.cnn.com/2002/TECH/science/06/ 13/bloop/index.html" title="http://www.cnn.com/2002/TECH/science/06/ 13/bloop/index.html" target="_blank"http://www.cnn.com/2002/TECH/... A quote from that news story. "Researchers have nicknamed the strange unidentified sound picked up by undersea microphones "Bloop."
It continues on to say: "While it bears the varying frequency hallmark of marine animals, it is far more powerful than the calls made by any creature known on Earth. It is too big for a whale and one theory is that it is a deep sea monster, possibly a many-tentacled giant squid. The largest dead squid on record measured about 60ft including the length of its tentacles, but no one knows how big the creatures might grow. "Squid have no gas-filled sac, so they have no way to make that type of noise," he said. "Though you can never rule anything out completely, I doubt it."
No one knows what it is, but it's larger and louder than anything known on earth. Okay. That's creepy, but not really all that scary. We know there are things in the ocean unknown to man. And god only knows how big something from the deep could grow. Here's the problem. Animals (or fish) like that live so far in the deep, we never see them. They live off all the dead that fall to the bottom. When we start fishing so much, that we get more than falls to the bottom, the big sea monsters at the bottom get hungry. They will come up closer to the top to find food. That is Bloop. Bloop is coming. It might be a big fish. It might be a FRIGGING GODZILLA! We don't know.
Monster number two: The Mexican Goat Sucker!
This is something I heard on the radio. It happened this year but I don't remember the exact time. A monster has been spotted in seattle. It has two hind legs, NO arms, or front legs, and a big claw on each foot. It uses it's feet to run, and attack with. I heard this, and thought it must be some sort of joke. But the news report was serious. Sounds like a case of the Goat suckers to me.
The last thing is the one that scares me. The third monster sighting I heard about within one week. A UFO was spotted in Canada by over one hundred people, including the prime minister. It was on the news once. Then it was never mentioned again. Two airplanes full of people see a ufo shoot by, and it's back to buisness as usual. That's crazy! I think they are already living among us myself. Who knows.
Thanks for reading.
And watch out for monsters.

Hello, I recently found something out about a certain religion that I think is worth sharing with everyone who like me, never thought about it before. I have not met any "Church of Scientologists" so far in this town. This religion is big though, and it is growing. I always though t that Scientologists were people who believed science over religion. The Church of scientology was actually created by L. Ron Hubbard (who wrote battlefield earth & many other sci-fi books) the believers think they are in some sort of war with Xenon, an alien. They are very dangerous people. Whenever a member starts to lose faith, they are "rehabilitated" by being isolated from family and friends. They have raided people, and they have even killed people, but they are still out there and protected by the law as a religion. Here are a few audio clips from L Ron hubbard himself about the religion he created:
http://www.xenu.net/archive/multimedia.html" title="http://www.xenu.net/archive/multimedia.html" target="_blank"http://www.xenu.net/archive/m...
Including quotes like: From the lecture entitled "The Free Being", lecture 309 of the "Saint Hill Special Briefing Course".
"This society belongs nominally to the Espinol United Stars. This is Sun 12, and it is one little tiny pinpoint. Their whole title is "Espinol United Stars..", pardon me, "Espinol United Moons, Planets and Asteroids, this part of the Universe is ours, Hup!" But this, yeah, "This quarter of the Universe is ours," it translates better. "This quarter of the Universe is ours." And it's so much quarter of the universe, and this is so lost in the middle of it that there's been no command post occupied for this system now since 1150 A.D., at the time when a group on Mars was finally abolished and vanished, and so forth, and nobody took any interest in this system. This system has been running wild since that time."
What would it be like to hear that at church every sunday? Look at the scary official webpage!
http://www.scientology.net" title="http://www.scientology.net" target="_blank"http://www.scientology.net
They are out there, and they are dangerous. Beware the scientologists. For more information go to: http://www.xenu.net/" title="http://www.xenu.net/" target="_blank"http://www.xenu.net/

| Richmond |
| 04.04.04 (12:08 am) [edit] |
It is always refreshing to get out of the sticks for a while. Today my husband and I went to Richmond to scout it out. We drove around the college he plans on attending, and we checked out the living quarters, (or rather, we drove by) and everything seems very... wonderful! I can't wait to try to get out of this town. We will triumph.

Well, my new job flipping burgers didn't work out. I just couldn't take it. It was too miserable. I am not proud but I will say this. If the only job I am able to get is one that I really hate, then screw work! I will move to the beach and sleep in the sand with the crabs, and let the ocean eventually take me before I stand in another drive through window.
All is not lost.
My husband has decided we should move out of this tiny town, and try our luck in the city. He's going to get "aide" and go to college at eastern. I'm going to get a job there, because there will be way more variety in Richmond KY.
Here we go into the world! I wonder how we make it.

Listening to npr tonight I couldn't help but be shocked at the war going on in the streets over the phrase "One nation under God". Being an athiest myself, I must admit a sigh of relief that the ten comandments wasn't forced down the throats of every kid in school. If a kid wants to pray, thats fine. But by no means should it ever be mandatory. The phrase "One nation under god" however does not offend me, and it has been in our pledge for decades. It really isn't a big deal, just a nice thought from the worlds oldest fairy tale.

Now I understand why people flip out and climb towers and just start shooting. Some people are just so stupid, it is a waste of oxygen to allow them to continue breathing. People will order something. I'm working to serve the public now. And goddamn does the public suck. I'm kicking back to part time.

Well, it wasn't a week and a half before a job landed right in my lap. It's not rocket science, it's waitressing. But thats probably just what I need to remove the excess fat I obtained working at the desk job. In one year away from manuel labor I gained 35 pounds. when I went to the "desk job" and thought I was leaving the world of hard work behind, and opening a new door to easy street. The place stunk. People sucked. Everything sucked. The money wasn't -That- different. Fifty cents more an hour really wasn't that life altering. Time to prepair for a fast paced summer!

It is so annoying trying to find something good to stea...er... download for all the damn porn. I have seen files with names like "Resident_Evil_porn.brit.spearce.mpg and I KNOW there's no such file. I won't click on it to find out for sure, but this crap has got to go. It's everywhere! I'm looking through anime titles right now, and here are a few things I see.
Sleeping beauty and pokemon porn.
Britiny Spearce and her illegal pre-teen dildo.
Simpsons incest porn, bart and lisa get with it.
I can hardly believe that exists, anyone who who have that on their computer is a strange strange person. I don't want to even think about the people spending all the time making each and every little scene of the cartoon look perfect. It's like those wierd little kids in grade school that always thought it was funny to draw dicks on stuff, grew up! Now he's still the same little weirdo hooked up to thousands more just like him through his computer. Lets face it, every school had at least one weird little kid with an obvious fetish.

This is a story I read on a news group, I have not heard it on the news. I have not seen it in a paper, and it's sad that I havn't. Things like this can't ignored, it must be open knowledge for the people. Snap a photo, get harassed by the police.

Sometimes I feel very small, not because the world is so big, but because the universe is so big that we will never understand what it is. I like to ponder what people really are. Organisms that live in a bloodstream of some large creature we can't comprehend.
Think about ants for a moment. Those annoying little things that overrun the kitchen and get into the sugar and sweets. Those little creatures are so small they probably don't even know we exist. We are large forms in the sky that sometimes emitt poisoned gas. They are use to seeing us, whatever we are and not being afraid. How often do you suppose we walk by them in town everyday. Then they unknowingly come into our kitchens and BAM! Dead. Ants interest me because of their human-like way of life. They keep smaller bugs sometimes as pets, they feed and care for them for no other reason than the fact that they like them.
They are us, and we are them. Just a bit bigger. The galaxy may be a drop of water under a microscope, being studied by a being that lives in a galaxy that is nothing more than a streak of crap on the side of a side-walk on another galaxy. And so on. Life, impossible to figure out, so you may as well just sit back and enjoy the ride.

| Why not leave? giving up the media. |
| 02.22.04 (11:31 am) [edit] |
I live in a town that is slowly withering away. It has a population of about 600. As a child I always imagined that when I was older I would simply get enough money to leave town, and hit the road to wherever I want to go. Maybe Hawaii or somewhere tropical.
My favorit fantasy was standing myself on a small deserted island. It really wouldn't be that hard if you took everything you needed with you. I had it all figured out. I would need seeds for all the veggies I was going to plant and everything needed for a garden. Lots of rope and tools to build my own little hutch in a tree somewhere sturdy. Guns and ammo (in case something unfriendly tries to move in) and cooking and eating tools.
What made me give that dream up, is simply not knowing how I would ever get to watch TV or surf the net again. What small pointless little things keep us from being wild and free. I would love to give it all up and live in the wilderness. I am half way there. I no longer have TV. I only use my TV for rented movies, and video games. I decided I would cut some of the comercialism out of my life a bit. The TV is sitting in your living room constantly telling you how to think, and what to buy. The TV was simply background noise while I was surfing the net anyway. Now I listen to free internet radio, if you havn't tried it go to shoutcast.com and check it out, it's really cool.
Maybe if I can pick up an internet satilite, I will finally be free. Especialy if you can bootleg the connection because I seriously doubt there's a huge job market for fighting monkeys for coconuts. And how would I come up with toilet paper? Oh well, back to the drawing board.

| Love your government |
| 02.22.04 (11:27 am) [edit] |
Anyone who reads this whom also knows me will be very surprized. I have never "loved" or even liked the government. I feel like too many people get away with crime who are wealthy, or famous. On the other hand, too many people are in prison who are possibly innocent. The only good thing Bush done was destroying the taliban. In the end he earned us more enemies than we had before. I found it absolutly gross that if the UN doesn't give Bush his war, then the UN will just... no longer count? In other words, he just dropped by to let them know he was going to blow up Iraq because of these possible threats they think they know about. I don't believe in all the "color alert" codes, that's a joke. It's going to be an "alert" anytime there is a holiday, or an event that gets a crowd. It's like they want you to feel like America has become a terrorist society. Maybe it has, maybe it always was. With all this floating around in my mind, I wasn't feeling very patriotic. A lawyer on a radio show made such a great point, that it changed my perspective a bit. The super wealthy want you to hate the government, because as it is they too are accountable for their actions. Everything you see on TV it seems, is something that makes the government look bad. They are viewed as deceptive in movies, on TV and in the news. The super rich owns the media and they are telling you what to think, because they want it to change. It does look like a lot of guilty people are out there walking free because of the size if their bank account; that doesn't happen as often as you think. The way our system is set up, everyone is accountable no matter who you are or where your from. Some slip through the cracks, but hell even Martha Stewart is going down. Don't listen to the media, this is very important. The TV is a big head that sits in your living room and feeds you toxic thoughts. I'm unplugged from it, after spending a year away from the TV, it sometimes sickens me when I visit my mom and turn on the TV. I can't believe the CRAP that is out there. People are begging for more and more crap just like it. I see it as a big electrical vein cramed into the brain, bleeding lies directly to the mind.

OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS I HAVE BEEN WORRIED ABOUT SOMETHING 99.9% OF THE TIME. TONIGHT I LOOK BACK AND I CAN'T REMEMBER ONE THING THAT WAS IMPORTANT ENOUGH TO LOSE EVEN ONE NIGHT'S SLEEP OVER.

Spam is now an illegal. Companies can no longer bombard your email with pictures of naked people. The only thing that is exempt from this is religious and political emails. Tonight, I got my first religious spam.
THE RAPTURE "When ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars, see nation rising against nation and hear of earthquakes in divers places, Know ye that the time for the return of My Beloved Son, is at hand, Thus saith Almighty God".
We are the Four-Corners Warriors For Christ, and our God led mission is to get His word our to a lost and dying world, before it's too late. Many ask us when Christ is going to return? We have no answer, except the one God gave: RE; " When ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars, see nation rising against nation, and hear of earthquakes in divers places, Know Ye that the time for the return of My Beloved Son, IS at Hand". Jesus said, "Go forth and make disciples of all nations". Here at Four-Corners Warriors For Christ, we have a passion For Jesus, therefore we work without ceasing to get God's word to ALL nations before it is too late. To take a look at the work we're attempting to do for the Lord, please visit: http://www.freewebs.com/godsw... and look us over, then sign our guestbook so we will know you were there. We sincerely need your help in this work and would appreciate it, and I believe God would too. Many of my readers have asked, if I believe Hell is expanding when the earth cracks open and fire spews out. I make no claims of knowing the answer, However, the Fire comes from somewhere, Somewhere God has saved me from going. Having lived and worked in foreign lands, where the people had never heard God's word, I was led several years ago to reach the lost and perhaps bring hope to the hopeless. We are currently reaching people in over 50 countries. If Christ returned today, Who would be taken and Who would be left behind. In the USA, we have the freedom of worship, therefore, as disciples we are striving to reach those who do not and/or do not know Jesus The Christ as their personal Savior. It is our mission to get God's word to all, so that they can never say, I never heard it. May God Bless & Keep You, Dwayne Stringer, Founder Four-Corners Warriors For Christ P.S. Please take a moment and read our page, "A Pastor's Story". To be removed: Please click on cherokee@zzip.cc and put REMOVE in the subject. Our Intention is not to offend anyone.
------------------------- ------------------------- -------------
I really don't like thinking about hell, and the end of the world. Call me crazy, but one way to seriously turn me off is to talk to me about when the end of time comes, and what hell is going to be like.
Here is my urgent plea to all religious spammers. Don't. Think about it and you will see it is more harmful than helpful. People will not buy a product from spam, because people HATE spam. Just because you are legally able to spam does not mean it is a good idea.

I am in one of those situations that people sometimes find themselves in when they mortally hate their job. Hanging by a thread. In this job, you can see how your doing. I can tell you now I have little time left at that place, and I'm not sure how I feel about that. On one hand, it's a paycheck. On the other hand it's a headache. I get so sick of having to spend a huge portion of my life working in places I hate, for people I hate. Ever since I started working I've been working, so unemployment will be new for me. Who nows, I may even enjoy it. I will not become a fat lazy house wife, no matter what ends up happening. Luckily I have no TV, so soap opera's will never be a issue.

By the title of this blog, I'm sure you think I've invented something. I havn't. I discovered something that has made my life so much easier. It looks like a child's toy, a plastic plant in a plastic pot. It's a toy venus flytrap that actually works. There are little light sensors inside the open mouth of the flytrap. When a fly (or nat) sets off those sensors, the mouth slams shut crushing all those inside.
I decided to write about this because if you bought one, you would probably throw it away thinking it did not work. I got mine at a Knoxville Tenn Zoo, and it never killed a thing for months. I kept putting food in it, but it didn't attract squat. Now, almost a year later, it begins to work brilliantly. I guess the mixure of crap that is it's "food" had to putrify before it would smell like something vermin would want.
So if you have bought one of these, and are just about to toss it in the trash....stop! It will work, in about 6 months if you make it work with it. It also BURPS! While it's mouth slowly opens, it belches loudly. This however can be turned off. Happy squashing! :twisted:

Never in my life have I had more trouble out of a webpage than this. Everything CRASHED. I have a talent that I am here to share with you. I do really stupid things that completely destroy everything I have worked a, now you'll know what NOT to do. This is what happened. There was a file from a game that was untitled. I don't mean it was named "untitled" ...it was blanked. Well, I clicked that file and uploaded it to my site, and poof. Everything vanished. It's gone. Did I have a back up? No. not really. I had a version of the site at the old server I had to fix up. So Big Mouth's tip for today is MAKE BACKUPS, and don't upload files that have no name.
I don't know a lot about the pop up add on this blog server, because I use mozilla. It has a built in pop up ad blocker, so I NEVER get any pop up adds ever. I always try to keep my site as pop up free as possible, because I hate those things, but if it really bother's you, switch to mozilla, it's much better than explorer anyway. Who the @#$% uses explorer anyway?
I am partial to linux, I don't use windows. I wish EVERYONE would switch to linux so that it would become more widely supported. Everything I ever done in windows, music, graphics, html, office packages, games, pretty screensavers, I can do in linux. It comes with it's own graphics program (that is a good replacment for PSP, if your looking for something free) called The gimp. It runs on Windows too. Really what I like about linux, (mandrake) is that it is prettier than windows, and safe from virii. I get email viruses everyday because I'm signed up to 4 mailing lists. They can't do anything to me. I'm safe. :P
Of course, we have an extra computer with windows on it to run all the things that linux won't. Linux only runs the most popular brands of hardware like, scanners and pen cams. Games too, if your big on computer games like everquest or camelot linux can suck. I have never been able to play a game on linux. But if you don't spend money on games then you'll still end up with more than you ever played. Mandrake comes with more than 30 games. It has solitare, other card games, board games, arcade, 3d peguin racing, dice and more.
If you've never used it it's worth a try. Unless you get the professional edition, you shouldn't have to pay more than 25 or 30 bucks for the operating system. I have yet to try Windows XP, and I probably never will.
