Watch This Avatar Closely...

Well, I've gone and created myself a male side account on Unifaction!
Why?
Partly because I really wanted to check out the inventory of male items, but mostly because I wanted to see if I could create an avatar version of Michael.

Sleep With The Angels, Purbee

Purbee was a nice little dog, and we all shall miss him.



He left us this evening a little before 7:00. He's giving Ted Kennedy big ol' sloppy dog kisses in heaven now...

America Will Miss You

Since learning of his death early this morning. I've taken to bursts of tears. I'm not certain why. Or, perhaps I am...
Senator Edward Kennedy was a champion of the American worker, of minorities, of the environment, and health care reform. He took action and spoke out for his beliefs, even when doing so was not popular.

Although some may dwell on his faults, we must remember that he was only human, just like the rest of us. Are there any of us who haven't done something we're not proud of? I don't think so...

He fought in the senate for all of the American people up until the very end. He has definitely earned himself a place in history among the5 greats.

And so America bids farewell to you, Ted Kennedy.

May you rest in peace.

Manic Monday

I haven't played this one for a while...

What is the first thing you notice about people?
That really depends upon the individual person. Everyone has something that makes you take notice. For some it may be a physical feature, for others it may be something about her personality or voice.

What song always makes you happy when you hear it?
Escape from the Box - Michael Schenker
He speaks on this one and I LOVE the sound of his voice! I often listen to this one just before dropping off to sleep in order to have sweet dreams.

What fashion trend do you just not get?
I honestly just don't understand the guys who wear baggy pants halfway down their asses with their underwear (or even worse, their butt crack) showing. It cannot possibly be comfortable, and it looks so unattractive. I do so miss the days of tight ripped jeans...

What is the album that you just can't get enough of right now and why.

Michael Schenker - Thank You 2

Acoustic instrumentals are good for the soul. They keep me from killing people. Thank God that Gary Barden had no designs on destroying this one with his horrid vocals and uninspired lyrics!

I hope that one day Michael realizes that he doesn't need that loud mouthed controlling jerk...

Time For A Blogthing!

'Cos I haven't posted one for quite a while...

You Are a Chocolate Shake

You are a total hedonist. You are drawn to pleasure. You are an expressive, over the top person. You're naturally dramatic. You're the type of person who always chooses quality over quantity. Life's too short to not have optimal experiences. You're proud of being picky.

What Flavor Shake Are You?

Tell us about the first album you ever bought.

The year was either 1969 or 1970. It was so long ago that I'm not certain. The album was on a 12 inch vinyl disc. The player wasn't even a stereo! (Yeah, I'm old)

I've tried to find a photo of the cover, but it has never been reissued on CD, I suppose.It was Donny Osmonnd's first solo album. I think that the title was Here's Donny, but I'm not about to go foraging through the depths of the closet to be certain!

If you're curious about what kind of music was on this album, most of the songs on it can probably be found on this CD...



A very far cry from what I listen to now.
