Everyone in the world has said this better than I ever can. I wish Barack Obama only and always the best. I believe that he'll lead this country to again do great things in the world and be a light to other people and nations.

Good luck and be always vigilant, Barack. There are still people here who want to see you fail. Not that many, I hope, but enough. Pay them no mind. You had that beatific smile on your face on Sunday. I know that comes from your heart. I won't always agree with you, and I don't think you're perfect by any means. You are, however, the best person to lead this country at this time. From a grateful and happy American.

For a lot of people, this year will go down as a bad one. For me, it will go down as the year the people spoke and we finally got a president who I believe will help us here and in the world. One who cares about this country and all Americans.

It was also the year that I learned, more than ever before, how much I need true friendship and how phoney and horrible some people can be. I love my true friends. The ones who aren't my true friends, you can go take a flying leap, or as Dad used to say, a long walk off a short pier.

I'm genuinely sorry for any hardships that any of my enemies, (you know who you are and you ARE my enemies), had to go through this year. I don't wish hardship or pain on anyone. Your own hypocrisy and inability to be nice to people who are nice to you will get you in the end. You wouldn't know loyalty if it bit you in the ass, but I do. You all actually thought you could turn on someone who has been a better friend to me than you know how to be to anyone, and I would take it lying down and then not tell that person? I don't think so. You were really that out of touch with reality but that doesn't surprise me. It does, however, make me laugh.

Speaking of laughter, you do realize that people all over the world can see your pictures and your vids on YouTube and all the other stuff you put on the net? I'll let you guess what I'm talking about, but I'll bet you know. That stuff is the best comedy of this or any year! You can't buy entertainment like that. ;)

I've also learned that some people who I thought were my friends would rather imagine that they're in the life of someone famous and get rid of me as a friend. You also know who you are and if you don't, too bad. I feel sorry for the next sucker who comes into your lair. I wonder if that person will sit back and let you take a live journal site that they helped start and worked on and felt good about and even paid for, right out from under their feet? It will be interesting to see if that ever happens again. I doubt it as most people I talk to about you and who know all of you are hip to your antics.

I also wonder, (but I don't spend too much thinking about it as I have much nicer things and people to think about), how you're all going to function when certain tv shows are off the air and you don't see or hear of your beloved certain person so much? How many break downs will there be? But remember, I don't think about it too much, because as my grandmother used to say, of a thousand thoughts, you're my last.

I would say that frienships were broken up this year, and on the surface they were, but they weren't real friendships so they don't matter. I now see that when something really great happened to a certain person, well, that's when the use job contingent swooped in. Don't you worry, we all know when that was and who it was who used who. Good luck using the next person. I hope for all their sakes they're not as dumb as we were.

Have a good 2009 former "friends". All I can wish for you is that you have the same kind of
2009 that you tried to give us in 2008. You didn't succeed though, never think that. Instead of ending the year put down and feeling sad, I have wonderful friends now, who really care about me and all the other people you don't like. We're all refugess from that place on the net where our ideas, thoughts and feelings weren't good enough to be on there anymore. You gave it all up for a tv show and a bunch of rude, threatening, harassing freaks. As much as I dislike you all, I hope you don't have to ever see the kind of emails that those freaks sent me, calling me names such as "cunt." Would you like to read that? I don't think so. They're a bunch of pussies though who would never have the guts to say any of that awful stuff to my face. The shame if it all: they breed!

All over a tv show! Newsflash: tv shows don't last. What a bunch you are! You all deserve each other.

Happy New Year! Laughing My Ass Off!

Happy Birthday Velvet Dream!

Enjoy your special day!

;D You have some cool interesting icons...I picked these ones:



I'm not by any means an iconmaker but if I see a picture I really like I'll just do the most basic thing right here on livejournal. This is a photo of a female cat who was born in a railway station in Japan that was losing ridership. The station was going to be closed when one of the railway employees decided to put her in the window ona pillow. People started flocking in and she was given a uniform and the position of stationmaster. Her name is Tama. Some stories say she's a stray but I like the story that says she was born in the station. Her story has made Wikipedia. I love cats and loved te idea of her job and her uniform, so here she is. Here's another story about her and another picture:

http://www.gimundo.com/Articles/Daily/1072/10/06/2008/Cat_Is_Station_Master_For_Japanese_Train_Station

When I see her pictures I feel happy!




This is a picture of Phil that was made into an icon by Not Ninja Style, iconsinprogress. She makes great icons! It was taken on the set of LOM, season one, and he was reading a newspaper, sitting next to John who was reading a newspaper. He looks relaxed, quiet, himself, confident, just lovely. One of my all time favorite pictures of him.




This was also made by iconsinprogress. It's Phil as Byron's servent in the movie, Byron. He's so peaceful here, he looks like a little boy, that's what I love about this one, and the colors of it. LIke he's sleeping at dawn or dusk.




Another one of my not great icons. It's a picture of a Welsh Corgi I got from The Daily Puppy website. Everyday there are different pictures of puppies and one day, pictures of Teddy were the pictures of the day. I love Welsh Corgis. I would never buy a dog, there are too many shelter dogs who need homes but if I found a corgi in a shelter, that dog would be mine! I just adore their bright faces and their little legs. They're like small collies. So intelligent and so sweet looking! :)

Taken from Emmie's LJ

Tim Russert died today and I'm still shocked. I'm upset and I cried. He seemed so full of life and was larger than life. I feel sorry for his family.

He'll be missed and I'll miss him on Sunday morning. He was the face of Sunday morning for me. I'll always miss him when I have my strong coffee on Sunday morning and wait to see who he was going to grill that day.

R.I.P Tim.

Funny how many times I read LJ and get upset. I should say I USED to get upset. I got upset at a lot of the phony asskissing I see but that's ok. The reason it's ok is that the people doing all that will never, EVER have a moment like one of the many I've had in my life and all my friends have had too.

They've never:

Seen snow flakes on a guy's eyelids and eyelashes while the the snow came down in February in New York in the early eighties, and say to yourself that that moment will never come again so you need to remember it.

Watch another guy from the same band, (I don't want to say the band's name since anyone reading this who doesn't know me might think I'm lying and I am most definitely not lying), jumping around like a kid, then stops to pose for a picture with the steam from a vent all around him in the dead of winter. The smoke from the vent mixed with the smoke coming out of his mouth and went right up to the sky.

Watched someone you had fallen in love with get on a bus and leave and then not see them again for 23 years. You know what an ocean between you would do to you then? Not just make you make noises, but make you cry so much you could fill the damn ocean over all that time!

There are so many moments like that in my life. Moments when I could have pulled stars down from the sky I was so happy. Days and nights spent on the beach, the days playing in soft sand and dipping my toes into the ocean or when I was older body surfing in the rush of a wave. The wave enveloping me and I wasn't even afraid! The nights spent under the stars looking out over the curve of the earth that you knew was there and couldn't see. There were beaches then were you could have a bonfire and roast hotdogs and play guitar and sing.

It might sound selfish of me to write about moments like this but no one has to read this if they don't want to. I don't think too many people read this anyway and that's not a cry for anyone to start reading it. This is for me.

I wish I could say I feel sorry for all those who have no life but I don't. They get too much enjoyment when they're lording it over everyone else for me to feel sorry for them.

1. My username is ______ because ______.

Galacticowl because I love Galaxy Quest. I like space and glaxies and stars. I like owls. I like Greek gods and goddesses. Athena, goddess of wisdom has an owl on her shoulder sometimes and that's the sign that she is wise. So I put together some version of all that.

2. My name is _____ because ______.

I don't use my real name on here but everyone knows it.

3. My journal is titled ____ because ____.

Because I change the quote every month. Keeps it fresh.

4. My friends page is called ____ because ____.

Lots of people on LJ have a lot to say. It's self-explanatory.

5. My default userpic is ____ because ____.

I can't be bothered to change it but I don't use it that much.

I have to start this post by saying that anyone who doesn't like my politics (if they read my journal), please feel free to defriend me. I won't be upset.

My eyes and ears have just been blighted by the sight and sound of Hilary the Queen (as she thinks she is)in the by now famous campaign speech where she goes on about how she has a lifetime of experience (doing what exactly Hilary?) I know Obama was a law professor but before you married Bill in order to ride his coat tails all the way to the White House, can you please tell me and the many other 52 year old white women who don't fall into your oh so neatly laid out demographics, of what your much vaunted experience actually consists?

According to you, oh Pant Suited One, you and John McCain have a lifetime of stuff you've done and Obama has a speech. If that's the case, why don't you leave the Democratic Party, (if only!) and join the Republicsns. That way you can be his vice president. Won't that be cool?

You'd make me laugh if you didn't make me so sick. You think the nomination is your birthright. I'd like to know what other women Democratic senators who have worked long and hard to get where they are think of you and your "birthright." Not much I'd guess.

You'd make me laugh Hilary, if you didn't get up there tonight, in Ohio, acting like you just became President of the world. Let me tell you something. Not all parts of this country like you as much as they seem to in Ohio and you'd better enjoy it while it lasts. You couldn't hope to do a speech as inspiring as what Obama said tonight. You don't have it in you. I'm surprised you didn't come out and do the royal wave like you usally do. That's just as hilarious aa the sight of Bill and Chelsea, heads bowed in prayer at the megachurch this past weekend. Maybe that's what did the trick? What a bunch of hypocrites you all are.

Now that you've got your big wins in Ohio and Texas, (the Texas one wasn't even close and you lost the caucuses as everyone said you would!), Obama has to fight you and your minions who want a job in your administration instead of concentrating on campaigning against McCain to try to become the Democratic president that we and the world want us to have.

What's that to you though Hilary, as long as you can go on for another seven weeks of doing such wonderful things as pretending that you're the second coming of all that's wonderful. With you going on you're going to make it even more difficult for a Democrat to become president.

You know what Hilary? You can pretend that you think Barack is a Muslim when you know damn well that he's not, you with that sniveling sneer and that comment that he's never given you any reason to think that he's a Muslim. You can pretend that you're not for Nafta when we all know that you still are and that you got in touch with someone in the right wing Canadian government to back you up on some crap that you made up. Let's not forget that you just voted on getting Peru into the deal.

I'm glad that you can fool them in Ohio and Texas. You can't fool me,or anyone in my family and my circle of friends, even my almost 80 year old aunt Mitzi who has more decency in her one finger than you have in your whole body. You're some feminist, Hilary. I'm not one, I'm a humanist but I've never claimed to be one and I don't fly the woman flag like you and your disgraceful friend Gloria Steinhem who wrote the op ed piece in the NY Times about how it's a woman's turn to be president because black men got the vote years before women did. And tell me how many black men wound up hanging in trees, put there while they were on their way to vote? You know damn right well black men couldn't vote before the sixties and that right was bought and paid for in blood.

I was going to wait to leave the Democratic party if you got the nomination. I was hoping to see a great big group walk out of the convention and turn their back on you and the party. You're not a unifier. You don't give a damn if the party is united. All you want is to be president so you can say, see, I did it! You can fool all those women into thinking they have someone to look up to in you. I have women to look up to. My late mother, my aunt, and all of my friends, who are all three times the woman you are and could run circles around you, Hillary. My mother could have been one of the greatet presidents this country has ever seen. Right up there with Jefferson and Lincoln. You? Not so much. I'd love to see a woman president. Just not you.

I loved it when you implied that you were being picked on because you're a woman. You'd better learn how to take it babe. The air is rare where you want to be but you should know since you, your husband and the people that worked for him were (and are), as cutthroat as they come.

You couldn't hope to inspire young and old of all colors the way Barack has. I'm changing my party affiliation to Independant tomorrow. I don't want anything to do with a party that is full of the people who voted for you tonight and the people that you and Bill will strong arm into giving you the nomination. This country and the world doesn't want you and your bullshit from the 90's Hilary. They want the future and the future is Barack Obama. Don't get too cocky hon. It ain't over yet!

Before I post this I'll say that for the most part I don't care what anyone thinks of me so you don't have to be afraid to post your full name. It's ok with me. There are many things I don't post or say so as not to offend people that I think might read it but on the flip side, do your worst! ;)


BRUTAL HONESTY MEME
Have you had one of those days lately when you just scroll down your friends list and look at all the wonderful people you know... and wanted to smack a fair number of them? I'm sure you all know that every once in while, it's good to share your true feelings. It can be stress relieving, an opportunity to express true feelings while proving to be awfully amusing for those not taking part. And so, rising from the ashes is the traditional, yet ever time-killing Brutal Honesty Meme. Leave no throught unshared, no moron unwanked, no idiotic reply left without a searing, snarky retort. Have fun, children. It's time to get angry.

For those of you who don't know how this works (how have you managed to avoid it thus far?) you basically comment with your username and then people can reply anon or otherwise, telling you what they've always wanted to tell you; be it what they love about you, what they hate about you etc.

Um, of course it doesn't have to be nasty, it just has to be brutally honest.

He's waiting for you, Kid! ;)

The one ghost, the man, was the one causing the racket. So Peggy, (she was fearless!) went up there and had a "talk" with him. She told him that we'd stay on the bottom two floors and he could have the top and no shit, from then on, we never heard him again.

29) Favorite thing to do in your spare time?
A. write, read, watch tv, hang out on the net and write emails and suchlike.

30) Do you swear a lot?
A. Yes I #$^$$$ do.

31) Biggest pet peeve?
A. jerkoffs, liars, mean bastards, braggarts, people who purposely hurt others, people who hurt animals, assholes...oh, you said PEEVE as in singular. I'm sorry. Cause I have a lot more you know!

32) In one word, how would you describe yourself?
A. Different

33) Do you believe/appreciate romance?
A. yes and no. I think it's one of the things that has brought the most pain to women, not so much to men, they benefit from it, but women can be and often are crushed by it. If you mean romance in the sense of healthy, passionate love and caring between men and women then I'm fine with it.

35) Do you believe in God?
A. Not the way most people do. Not a guy on a throne in a white robe. I do sometimes wonder if Stephne Hawking or Stephen Colbert aren't manifestations of him though.

36) Will you repost this so I can fill it out and do the same for you?
A. that's up to you girls and guys.

Now, this really makes me laugh. Yes this showed the importance of writers to those who don't already know the importance of writers, and I just love the fact that morons like Debbie Matanopoulos have to tell us little people that on Larry King tonight. Thank you, Debbie. You are a shining light unto the darkness, you are!

Debbie the Philosopher, akin to her ancestor, Sophocles, said that WE, (you know, the little people), want to see OUR stars. Oh yeah, sure, I want to see the beanpole anorexic, who wwouldn't look out of place in a concentration camp, having her wine and dinner of ONE lettuce leaf. That sounds like fun to me.

The even funnier part is, even with no show, and no dressed and no full of themselves actors, we still only have Atonement winning and the gall to have comedy noms without Curb Your Enthusiasm and the even bigger of course, Jim Broadbent and Samantha Morton win for Longford. Like that wasn't expected. Oh you mean no win for the amazing Ruth Wilson who so brilliantly played Jane Eyre? Of course not! Why ever give it to her when you can give to the pasty Samantha Morton, oh she of no lips, who I actually do like sometimes but I'm a little sick of her right now. And what a happy, clappy part she's playing. Hey honey, let's let the kkds watch that Longford on HBO, you know the one where the two serial killers in England kill the kids, and then have picnics on top of the makeshift graves1 Good times!

I love how the presenters at this GG press conference are saying how they support the WGA. I do on priciple but it's getting more and more difficult for me to support something that is now hurting so many people who now cannot make their mortgage payments or their rent and soon won't be able to feed their families. It's all well and good for people like Tina Fey to be out there picketing, she's got a lot of money but how about the writers, hair stylists, nail techs, restaurant oweners, hell the guy who makes the coffee? I ralize that it's the studios who are to blame here but no one is being served b this and it's causing a lot of resentment and pain among people who work in that industry.

I have to say I did miss the dissing of the horrible dresses but for the most part, a half an hour seems just about right for the Oscars too! ;)

I don't know why I'm upset that Edmund Hilary died. Maybe I've read Into Thin Air too many times.

I decided I'm not going to post after people I can't stand on LJ. Just my little protest. Mean people suck. So do freaky, creepy people who like to shove their opniions in everyone's face. And elsewhere. So how is the way far up themselves brigrade today? For old people, that would be as way far up as they were in Fantastic Voyage. Now THAT'S a movie that crys out for a remake!

Can't believe my laptop broke again! I want them to replace it and not wait until it breaks again and then the warrenty is off. Won't have it back until the start of next week. I stand to write emails on this thing which is why I haven't been. :(

There really aren't any words to describe how disappointed I am that Hilary won in New Hampshire I don't know if she was faking the crying or not, (btw, WHAT crying? All it was, was a little catch in her voice), but as Jim and Chris say, you can't do that 48 more times. I heard some stuff tonight on CNN that makes me think that she's going to win in South Carolian and if she does I'm sure she'll be the nominee. I guess I'll have to hold my nose and vote for her. I want someone other than Clintons and Bushes in the White House. I'm so sick of her and her bullshit. She acts like the fucking Queen, like it's her right to be the president. Is she gonna cry when Ahmendijidad or however you spell that asshole's name hurts her feelings? Cry in private, Hilary. And stop crying for yourself, we don't care. I hope not all women in this counrty will buy that crap like the women in New Hampshire did.

Trevor turned 21 this week. On the same day that Jimmy Page turned god knows ho old; one hundred maybe? I don't think he looks that bad.

It aeems that Trevor is seeing a girl who lives at the Landmark and he met her at a party. She used to see Dad and even saw Trevor going up to the apartment to help Dad out. I'm happy about that, since he seems happier and he had a good birthday. He didn't get drunk, and no one got arrested! A good day in our family! :)

So much more to say but I'm tired and I need some sleep. I think I might write some more tomorrow. I could used to this! :)

I tend to forget that there actually are "normal" people on livejournal who write about their lives.

I might take down my LJ if it wasn't for the fact that I enjoy changing how the journal looks and the poems or quotes I can put up with the changing seasons and months. I'm not really into writing in here and I know this because everytime I try to get my thougths together to do it, I just don't want to. I think a big part of it is that I'm from a generation that thinks of a journal as something private; a place to put your private thoughts and feelings. Not a place for the whole net to read and make comments on. Not that anyone makes commments on my jouranal and that has nothing to do with why I'm saying this. I've just reached this conclusion. I don't usually comment on other people's journals either. For a lot of reasons, most of which if I say here what I really think sometimes, I'll be metahporically run off LJ with a very big stick. If anyone even reads it that is.

I still think there are people on there who are way far up themselves but who cares? They don't so it's pretty pointless to mention it.

I also enjoy keeping this account for the purposes of the PG LJ although I was about to pull myself out of that too.

You know, one thing I love on here is when people who don't have kids talk about them like they're fiends from hell and how they all act and are. I think you should have to at least observe some before you make your ill advised cracks but what do I know?

Saw a very disturbing story on Larry King last night. It was about the West Memphis Three, the three kids who were accused of killing three 8 year old boys in Arkansas and leaving them in a pit. That was sixteen years ago and there have always been questions as to whether they did it or not. One of them, (and he's not a kid anymore, he's a 33 year old man who has spent the last 16 years of his life on death row always maintaining his innocence). He's a writer and he's got a lot of music people and others supporting him, including Eddie Vedder. Well it seems that now, they are being vindicated, as not only were they put into prison and sentenced to death (one of them was sentenced to life in prison because he is semi-retarded and has an IQ of 72. This kid was so bullied by the cops that he "confessed" and later recanted his "confession."), but DNA evidence that couldn't be gotten 16 years ago now shows that there isn't one trace of any DNA from any of the three on the kids bodies, there never was and one of the stepfathers of the kids is now implicated through DNA. Also, there are teethmarks on one of the kids and those teethmarks don't match ANY of the three in jail now. Weird though, the steppfather who is implicated now in the case had his teeth pulled out right after the murders. Funny huh? And not hah hah funny. Damian Echolls, (and could someone tell me why these guys are still in prison when there is not a shred of evidence linking them to the case but here is DNA evidence showing that someone else did it and that guy is walking around free?), who was the ringleader of hte group, the prosecutor said, said that careers were made on this case and that one of the prosecutors or the judge is running for the Senate from Arkansas. What a surprise that is!

The other big news from last night is that Britney Spears' sister is pregnant. Their mother is selling the pics to OK Magazine as soon as the baby is born and Lynn Spears (mother of the year!) bites off the cord and wraps the unwashed creature in swaddling clothes for his or her or its first piccies! Wow! What a country this is turning into! I heard today that hte Spears family is thinking of doing something to the kid who knocked up the sister since he's 19 and she's 16 but it's ok to make money for the pictures of the alien spawn. Stop the world, I want to get off!

In case I don't write in here before the new year, have good holidays everyone, not that anyone reads this anyway! :)
