Reminder...

There are people on the net that have nothing better to do with their time then be nasty to other people online. They post rude comments, spend hours a day talking about sites they hate so much, that they well, spend hours a day talking about them. (lame) They mock the owners and posters for their opinions and their right to free speech. They expect everyone to fit into their narrow-minded little world view or else they throw a temper tantrum.

To these people I say grow up.

Here's a bit of info people...the web is a HUGE place. If you don't like what I say here, or who I am, or what I do, or talk about, or what I look like, or the color of my hair, or whatever asinine thing you dwell on, go somewhere else. It's really, really easy. Honest. You just click the little "x" in the corner of your browser and *poof* the offending, big, mean and nasty site has disappeared.

I pay for this site. It's mine. That means I can use it for whatever the hell I want to. Don't like it if I'm bitching about something in my life? Oh fucking well. Go somewhere else. Think I'm stupid for expressing my thoughts? Too fucking bad, don't read them. Somewhere along the line, someone forgot this simple fact: Live and let live Don't like me, cool, fine, whatever, I don't care. This journal is NOT for you. It's for me. I'm not in it for popularity or fame or anything stupid like that. I write it because I need to write and express myself and get things out of my head sometimes. So read or don't, it doesn't matter, but don't waste my time (or yours) bitching about it.

*gets off soapbox*

Pal Mickey 2.0
Someone came here the other day looking for info on Pal Mickey, so I thought I'd make a post with the info in case they still wanted to know about it.

Pal Mickey General Info
As the ultimate insider, Pal Mickey assists guests in each of the four theme parks at Walt Disney World Resort by sharing entertaining information that helps them get the most out of their vacation. Now, with Disney preparing the biggest celebration in theme park history, Pal Mickey is all set to join the fun too!

A special "Happiest Celebration on Earth" edition of the popular talking Mickey Mouse toy will debut to coincide with the May 2005 launch of the 18-month festivities taking place worldwide to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Disneyland.

Nattily dressed in a removable tuxedo jacket, the 10 1/2-inch huggable plush doll has been updated with fun facts about new attractions, shows, character greetings and short wait times across Walt Disney World Resort. Plus, he includes more than 30 trivia questions, seven sing-a-longs and six games, as well as a brand-new carrying lanyard and a louder speaking voice.

The new version of Pal Mickey is available for $65 plus tax and can be found at select sites in Disney's four Florida theme parks and merchandise locations in each of the Walt Disney World resort hotels.

Think of this like updating your software on your computer. You bought the old version, used and enjoyed it. And you can continue to use it if you want but you won't have all the newest features. There's a newer version out that you can get which gives you different things but for which, you have to buy again.

The old Pal Mikey will continue to work, but, he will never update. So, he'll never talk about "Stitch" or "Soarin'" because they weren't programmed into him. But he will continue to talk about the things he was designed for (unless they turn off a transmitter for that thing of course.) It's up to the individual to decide if they want to get the newest version or keep what they have.

Of course, you can also see some shots of my Pal Mickey in the Magic Kingdom taken when I got him in April 2004, here.
