Liver Eatin' Johnson

2009-02-07T07:25:00.001-07:00

Look him up. Seriously! He was an interesting figure in the Wild West. When the Crow tribe massacred his wife and unborn child he got revenge by ambushing Crow braves and cutting out their livers, taking a bite, spitting it out and yelling in Crow that the liver wasn't worth eating.

I am fascinated by the Old West but am damn glad I didn't live in that time. I like my creature comforts--and being semi-safe--a little too much.

It was a real thrill to me to visit Boot Hill Cemetery. I could hang out there every day. It inspires the imagination.

Great Radionics Software

2009-01-02T07:57:00.001-07:00

http://TwitPWR.com/…nchanterx/

Fellow mystics, check it out. I am! I've had an interest in radionics for many years, so this software piqued my interest. I can see the benefits of using radionics for mystic work. If you're like me and were raised in a religion that tells you that if you wish for something "selfish" such as prosperity you will be punished, it sticks with you even if you no longer believe this sort of thing in your logical mind. Your subconscious is very important in spell work, however, and a negative subconscious message can torpedo the most carefully executed spell. Using radionics bypasses your own subconscious sabotage. Plus it has that scientific edge that we modern people treasure.

Energy is energy, pure and simple. Radionics has been around for many years, but now our modern technology has allowed those knowledgeable in computer programming to greatly improve its execution.

Science meets mysticism with radionics. Take a look at the link above to find out more.

Yes, this is a product that I sell. I use it myself. Aqualyte is coral calcium. It helps strengthen your bones, of course, but it also alkalizes water or juice. Research shows that alkalizing your diet has wonderful health benefits including the reduction of inflammation in your muscles and digestive tract. Aqualyte comes in easy to use tea bag style sachets, no inconvenient powders, no nasty taste. You can give it to your pets too, and the used sachets can be put in your potted plants to nourish them as well. As little as $25 per month for an individual supply. No hard sell, just check out the web site and decide for yourself.

A Necessary Sacrifice

2008-12-22T20:55:00.001-07:00

Two things prompted a decision that's been needing to come for a while. The first and more constructive one is advice that one person was giving another, but it actually had "me" written all over it. The advice was

"you should take a look at the absurd list of tasks you have created for yourself."

I did, and my list is indeed absurd. People with bipolar disorder have a tendency to do this kind of thing to themselves. We throw ourselves headlong into anything that seems like a good idea at the time without really thinking it through and then hate ourselves for failing.

My list includes working on my second book, tending to an official website and blogs and such to promote the first book, being the administrator for a new social network and Twitter-style microblog service for creative, esoteric, open-minded types, working a full time job, and going to school part time. The affiliate marketing was supposed to be a way to make extra money and for a while it was kind of fun even though the extra dough did not exactly roll in, but it's been more burden than fun for several months now.

The second factor that pushed the decision was actually a comment made by an anonymous LOSER on the Kill My Job blog at http://twitpwr.com/affiliate about how much my blog sucks. I happen to know this individual is a loser because of their cowardly hit-and-run anonymous comment and the fact that if they weren't a loser, they'd be too busy with their own life to be leaving cowardly hit and run comments. My response was admissibly juvenile as hell, and yet I must say, funny. It began with "By Satan's balls." Nuff said.

Not that I am kowtowing to anonymous Loser. Frankly, I could give a rat's butt if people think KMJ or any of my blogs/websites/projects suck. But the fact is, I don't have time to work on that blog. I'll continue to keep it as a repository for certain of my utters, but I'm not going to devote any time to it beyond that at this point. As of today, it is officially retired or on permanent vacation.

I will continue to promote certain of the affiliate products I discovered that I really like, such as the Ultimate Recipe Collection (http://TwitPWR.com/…aterecipe/) through utters and Twitter, but am no longer going to make a concerted effort in the affiliate marketing field. What I've been doing is more than a touch too much. I need to concentrate on my literary and activist efforts, spreading the word about religious tolerance and better mental health care worldwide.

So if there's a lesson that I'd like to impart from this it's the old "to thine own self be true." If you're doing too many things, evaluate what really has meaning for you and then throw yourself into that wholeheartedly.

Thanks for "listening." Peace to you.

Promotional and Online Friend Tools

2008-12-14T20:32:00.001-07:00

The microblogs Twitter and Utterli are not only tools for keeping in touch with online friends, they are promotional tools. Some of you may already be using these.
For those who are new to microblogging or who haven't heard of the less well-known Utterli, you can post short messages, including links using these services. The easiest way is to sign up for both and then post your messages in Utterli and have it cross-post to Twitter so you don't have to type the same thing twice, as Utterli has this ability. You can also cross-post to Blogger, Flickr, You Tube, and I believe Word Pad or Type Pad and Live Journal, and you can link Utterli to your Facebook profile.
If you are a writer or performance artist or market any kind of product or service, we can help each other by following each other on Twitter and Utterli as well. Or we can just have fun. I use my pen name (Lily Strange) rather than my affiliate marketing name (Jobkiller) as I initially started using these services to promote my book. I'm good with having a ton of blogs but having a ton of microblog profiles too would only drive me over the edge of insanity for certain!
For artistic types (artists, writers, musicians) there is also Humble Voice. I almost gave up on it at first--the platform isn't the easiest to use. But once I got the hang of it, I liked it. I've posted several poems and paragraphs to my albums. I have not, however, figured out how to change my profile. I've been getting spams to my inbox from girls looking for a sugar daddy! If that's your kind of thing, you may be rushing to sign up for Humble Voice toot sweet just for that! But considering that I'm straight and have neither the means nor the desire to be a sugar mama anyway, I just think it's funny.

You freaks might also want to join Vampire Freaks. Not just for vampire fans, also a good place for bands, artists and writers to promote themselves.
And don't forget about my place for those "of a mind" or at least of an open mind when it comes to the paranormal. Come...be among your own kind. Leave the pig faced people to their pig faced world. Being a freak is beautiful!

One of the Few Gossip Sites Worth Reading

2008-11-21T05:51:00.002-07:00

Amy Winehouse and I are wondering why you people aren't reading She Knows the Buzz. It's one of the few celebrity gossip sites that's actually worth lowering yourself for. It's so cleverly written. It's sort of like a cocaine-sprinkled jelly donut.

Amy is also considering opening a beauty salon. She'd like to call it Amy's Crack Ho Hair Shack. I found this beautiful picture of Amy over at She Knows the Buzz. You'll want to go there to see this and so much more! Seriously--you do. It isn't often that you find people with pretentions of being serious writers giving shout-outs to celeb gossip sites!

Old Time Western Radio

2008-09-20T00:59:00.002-06:00

You wouldn't expect a die-hard middle-aged headbanger with a taste for the horror genre to love the online Old Time Westerns radio program on Live 365, but I do! I enjoy westerns and now I can listen to programs like Gunsmoke and Fort Laramie when I'm at work if I get a hankerin'. Sure they're cheesy sometimes, but that only makes them better!

If you like westerns too, check out the Old Time Westerns station. You'll need to sign up for a free Live 365 account, but don't worry. I've been getting my internet radio through Live 365 for years. They won't pester you or send you ads or anything that isn't pertinent to your account. So what are you waiting for? Ride the Virtual Range tonight!

The Angst Guy

2008-09-18T20:13:00.003-06:00

Cornholio bemuses Daria

I like the old Daria television show, and I like the Angst Guy's blog, which is filled with pictures, deep thoughts, and links to Daria fanfic. If you miss Daria and her cronies, go and take a walk down memory lane. If you don't know who or what Daria is, go and get educated.
I don't have a picture of the Angst Guy, which is why I instead give you the picture of Daria as she originally appeared on Beavis and Butthead.
So, visit the Angst Guy's blog, like I told you. And remember, you can run but you can't hide from your own bunghole.

Outskirts Press Plug

2008-09-07T18:30:00.000-06:00

As the first draft of the second book nears completion (well, sort of) I have again signed on with Outskirts Press for the publication of the second book, which will probably be released in 2010.
Many different packages are available and they publish almost everything, except for porn and hate literature. If you have something in the works, you might want to check them out for yourself.
There are companies out there who allow you to publish your book "free," but you will still have to pay for printing, storage and promotion. In the long run, I find that I'd pay about as much anyway and having a reliable publisher is worthwhile to me.

A Double Blast

2008-07-07T11:29:00.003-06:00

Life has been pretty serious of late with my father's health problems. He is currently in the hospital with intense unexplained pain in the left thigh. His kidneys are bad and there's a distinct possibility that he may have suffered another small stroke. With this going on I wasn't feeling much like laughing until I found a miracle. That miracle's name is Mr. Methane. If you want to rip away your troubles, toot on over to his site now and let him cut through the funk surrounding your life.
Through Mr. Methane's MySpace page, I also discovered the bowels of evil in Bann Drite. My keyboard won't allow me to type that a with the little circle over the top. I hope they don't invoke their dark and flatulent gods of doom to blast me into oblivion for this blasphemy.
Bann Drite will blow away your illusions of a fresh and pure world with their ripping brand of "Evil evil nordic black metal- with a twist of fart." Your sanity will be cut away in a nuclear blast of methane death. It is like nothing you have ever imagined--or smelled. Try listening while reading your daily dose of The Poop Report. And even the crappiest day will have blissful relief--just like letting loose a really big fart after holding it in for a long time.

Inspirations For Life

2008-04-07T04:08:00.003-06:00

As the title states, this is a blog of inspirational stories and thoughts. I was drawn to the essay on overcoming fear as I have been having dreadful panic attacks lately. But there are also essays on other things, such as marriage, even on terminal illness. The tone is positive but not sappy or preachy. Thankfully, because in my case, neither of those approaches has ever inspired anything but anger or a desire to run away.

The Chaos of Death

2008-03-18T16:16:00.002-06:00

This fascinating, macabre young blog explores the rituals and beliefs surrounding death and burial in various cultures. The writing is intelligent and scholarly, and that certain subject that we all must face, try though we may to avoid it, is handled with dignity and grace, touching on the poigniant, terrifying, and sometimes beautiful phenomenon that is death. The posts concerning the deaths of children in the 19th and early 20th century are both informative and evocative. It may seem morbid to modern folk to take a photograph of a dead child, but in those times, that was often the only photograph the family had.

One of my great aunts died at a very young age. My grandmother ended up with the photo and it was discovered after her death in 1992. I thought it was a child sleeping in a bassinet until my mother told me what it really was. Although I am a fan of horror fiction and write it myself, I must confess that I was shocked. My initial reaction was to drop the picture. At this point I wish that I had kept it. Such a thing is of important historical value for a family.

Read The Chaos of Death now.

Welcome to Crapville

Offbeat and darkly humorous, this peculiar little tale features the misadventures of one Mully Mulligrubs. This story would be perfectly illustrated by Edward Gorey.

If you like black humor and writing which does not adhere to the prescribed high-school-English-Composition format, well...Welcome to Crapville.

Ginny's Needlecrafts

2008-03-09T23:15:00.002-06:00

One of the more scary things about me may be my completely non-scary and normal interests. Most of which I really suck at. However, if you're at all arts-and-crafts inclined or know someone who is, you will surely want to visit Ginny's Needlecrafts. She has an online store so many beautiful cross-stitching patterns to choose from and many, many materials. And visiting her blog is just somehow soothing and meditative. The harried one likes!

I really wish I was at all talented in this area, but unfortunately, I'm a complete buffoon. I can't even use a sewing machine. I'd like to try one of these projects but I'm afraid I'd botch it completely. Maybe when I'm finally retired and have time to relax a little. Which will probably be two days before I die at the age of 110, the way things are going.

Ariel's Photo Blog

2008-03-08T04:14:00.004-07:00

Ariel doesn't consider herself a professional photographer, but her pictures are very thought-provoking. You can participate in fun discussions about the photos and meet some very interesting people, and some very odd ones as well, such as me in my Cheesemeister alter-ego.
Ariel's site is one of those places that is better seen than described, because a picture is worth a thousand words and can also inspire at least that many!

Rantings of the Lazy Iguana

2008-02-29T11:47:00.002-07:00

Beer, boats, liberal politics, sarcasm, and a whole lot of irreverence.
Grab a brew, take off your tie, and get ready for the party with the Lazy Iguana.
There are some things you just can't say enough good things about. So I'll shut the hell up now and let you jump into the fray and see for yourself.

Lobster Boy

2008-02-24T00:39:00.003-07:00

If you have ever waited tables, you will appreciate Lobster Boy's blog. He has worked at Red Lobster for 10 years. As far as I can tell, he has never ripped out anyone's throat with a lobster claw, although the thought has probably crossed his mind. A good educational primer for anyone about to go to a restaurant. Before I became a slave at the Gerri Atrik Retirement Community, I was a server and bartender, so I know how it is. Actually in spite of all the crap I sometimes wish I hadn't left. It actually wasn't the customers, who, believe me, gave me reason to bitch. It was the politics. Now I work nights so I'm never right in the middle of the fray. However, I do miss knowing that I'll at least have enough money to put in the gas tank at the end of a shift!

Remember, folks, your server is not a slave. But they do get slave wages. The gold standard in my neck of the woods is $2.13 an hour. So don't be a cheapskate--tip righteously! 20-25% is good these days. A 10% tip is CHEAP! Hollywood reporter Mike Evans loves ratting out the bad tippers in Tacky-Town. Some of them, with their millions, tip less than 10%. Shame!

So when at your local Red Lobster, (or anywhere else) tip well. Because you never know--Lobster Boy may be your server. I said he hasn't ripped out anyone's throat with a lobster claw YET! You don't want to be the first!

Terry's Timeout

2008-02-16T13:21:00.003-07:00

Terry's blog always has nice pictures. And gets more comments than I get on all of my damn blogs combined, so I'm jealous. I'm beginning to think that for me the blogging idea is a stupid one because it mostly makes me feel bad. I think I have lots of interesting things to say but apparently nobody else does. The fact that I just had another birthday isn't doing anything to contribute to a positive mood either.
This meme came from Terry's blog so I stole it.

1. By what nickname(s) were you known as a child?
Butterfly. Because I loved butterflies. I think I should have been known as "pupa" because I never emerged from my cocoon.

2. Do you have a favorite poem and, if so, what is it? Recite it (or a snippet) here, please.

Alone
by Edgar Allan Poe

From childhood's hour I have not been
As others were; I have not seen
As others saw; I could not bring
My passions from a common spring.
From the same source I have not taken
My sorrow; I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone;
And all I loved, I loved alone.
Then- in my childhood, in the dawn
Of a most stormy life- was drawn
From every depth of good and ill
The mystery which binds me still:
From the torrent, or the fountain,
From the red cliff of the mountain,
From the sun that round me rolled
In its autumn tint of gold,
From the lightning in the sky
As it passed me flying by,
From the thunder and the storm,
And the cloud that took the form
(When the rest of Heaven was blue)
Of a demon in my view.

3. What is your greatest regret in life, something that you failed to do that you wish you did?

I regret a lot of things. I guess one thing I regret is not having tried to get more things published sooner. I had some stupid idea that I was going to be an actress so I didn't concentrate on my writing. Also I regret gaining as much weight as I have. It's a lot harder to take it off when things have gone this far.

4. You are tired and hungry, but it's too late to cook. If any snack food were available to you, what would you choose and why?

The jerky that I am involved with selling. It's actually reasonably healthy. My favorites are the sweet and spicy beef and the hot and spicy Buffal-o's.

5. What is the oldest item of clothing (not jewelry!) that you wear regularly and what do you love about it?

Most of the clothing I own is old and crappy. As long as it's comfortable and doesn't have too many holes, I don't care, I keep wearing it. I refuse to wear uncomfortable clothes.
