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.

The Weekend Cometh So the long-awaited weekend approaches. Long-awaited because it's our anniversary this weekend. Seven long years. *chuckles* And, as a celebration, we're heading out to Disney for the day. We had originally wanted to make a weekend of it - hotel stay and all - but the funds just weren't there. It's a tight squeeze just to do the day but it's worth it to us because I think we deserve at least a day if we can't do a mini-vacation. So I'm excited because I'm really jonesing for Disney. It's been far too long. Money's been far too tight and we just haven't been able to go like we did when our car was more stable and we could afford the seasonal passes. (Which are an amazing deal. It's $60 for one day or $200 for nine months. It's just hard to come up with $400 at any one time. Ok, not hard, impossible these days.) Anyway, I'm really looking forward to a nice day and a nice getaway.
It's deceiving outside. It looks all dull and overcast and dreary. Looks like a winter day but it's 86F with a feels-like of 93F out there. Very muggy. Tomorrow's forecast for Orlando looks like it's going to be more of the same but hopefully it won't be unbearably hot. If it's cloudy like today that'll help.
Tinkered around just a smidge with the layout last night. Added a few new links and a new section called, "Support" with links to a couple animal charities. While I don't want people to suffer, I have significantly more empathy and concern for animals (especially pets) and I fear they don't have nearly as much of a voice or presence as human charities do. One of them is PetCancerAwareness.org. Those of you who are long-time readers will remember my two-year struggle with cancer with my beloved cat, Kush-ka. It sadly resulted in his death in 2003. Anyway, it's a charity that I can really relate to. Cancer is the number one disease-related cause of deaths for dogs and cats and an estimated 20% of dog and cat owners will face this tragedy. They have some of those popular "Livestrong" type rubber bracelets for a donation of $2 (including shipping) which is an easy way to make a donation and help spread awareness. I've orderd one for myself. It'd also be good if you have a journal or site of your own to link to them to help get the word out. I know a lot of you really cherish your animal companions like I do.
Anyway, just getting everything ready and together for tomorrow. Already charged the batteries for my camera and emptied the memory card. Just need to put everything in my backpack and make sure I run through the checklist. Heh. Oh yeah, need to charge the iPod. See? There's always something to remember.
Ok, well I'm kinda just babbling here so I think I'll close out. Hope everyone has a nice weekend.
