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.

Movies with Mom
My mom's birthday is coming up next Tuesday the 8th. Due to timing issues, my mom, sister and I will be getting together on Monday the 7th instead. However, my sister is getting married in October (as I've mentioned, I'm a bridesmaid) and needs to get wedding stuff done that day. Originally, my mom had wanted to do lunch and see a movie. Nothing big because she's still in serious mourning for Socrates. Well, my sister said she didn't really have time for a movie and a nice day together like that. Which, like I told my mom, kinda bothers me. I understand that the wedding is coming up and there's a lot to do and time is of the essance, but....jeez. It's only your mom's birthday once a year you know? And this year more than any I think she could use an extra nice day. Good memories and positive things to think about instead of her loss. It just comes across a little selfish to me that my mom's not going to get a day with cake and the works. These things are important to her though she's downplaying it. (Spoiler Free) Anyway, because of that, she came over and just the two of us went to see a movie today. My mom was really interested in Lady in the Water. So that's what we went to see. There's a theater right down the road from me and she likes that one. (It's no Theater of Gold, but that one's quite a drive away. And during a 1:40pm weekday show, there's not really crowd issues.) I'd read a lot about it and most of it wasn't very flattering. And the problem is that the movie really wasn't that great. My mom and I both agreed that it was a shame - it had a lot of potential. But it was very muddled, choppy and just never came together. There were moments where I realy liked it and others which dragged on or which were really ho-hum. And the mythology that he creates to explain how it all works was very convoluted. Overall, it left me feeling bummed since I can see how great it could have been if it would have been better assembled. It wasn't horrible, but it just wasn't that good. So the movie was a bit of a wash, but we still had a nice day just hanging out together. We hit the post office afterwards and I mailed out my August Full Moon Swaps package. Then we hit Wal-Mart since mom needed a couple things and by that time it was about 5pm and we called it a day. We're already at the end of another week. My word, I'm not sure where this one disapeared off to. Blink and it snuck off. Naughty week. I don't think there are any big plans for the weekend especially since this is rent check which means we'll be broke for two weeks. *hums* Yeah, that's about all I've got. I've been sitting here trying to think if there was anything else to say or any witty comment to close out on. But I've got nothing, so we'll just end here.
