Sept. 30, 2006 - I blogged a lot this month

Hi everyone. I have some good news! Jeremy got a job in an Italian Grille restaurant a few days ago. He's making good money and his self esteem is so much better. CJ moved out yesterday, I will miss him, he's a good kid and it was enjoyable having him here. But he wants to move on, he got a place with a buddy of his and he's going to get a job and a car. I wish him all the luck in the world.

Because of freaking direct linkers I've used 97% of my bandwidth this month! That has never happened before. People were linking to some of my biggest files, animated graphics and mp3s. Needless to say I was ticked off. I took care of them in the last 2 days by either threatening legal action or deleteing the files. Only 2 people responded and apologized. For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, I made a page to explain What is Direct Linking? and why it makes people who pay for their own domains and web space so angry. I have 41 web sites, soon 42 (I deleted my true crime site, I just can't handle man's inhumanity to man anymore), so I need all the bandwidth I pay for. I thought I clearly stated on all my sites do not direct link my images, but people either don't care or they don't know that what they are doing is illegal. Just because you put a graphic online, it doesn't mean it's "public domain". It still belongs to whomever made it. Yeesh.

I wanted to tell you about an unsigned composer/singer I've found. Her name is Helen Trevillion. Her music is like Tori Amos in insightfulness and a little like Enya in song. I love her music, I have 31 of her songs on my pc and I listen to her a lot. I asked her for permission to burn them to a cd so I can listen to her offline and she said yes! Jasmine and I will be setting up a fanlisting for Helen in the next few weeks. I'm so happy to do this, she is a very sweet girl and her songs are so pretty. You can listen to her music here:

Give her a listen if you like sweet soothing music.



Brittany is here for a few days visiting us, she is one of my "kids" as I consider all of Jeremy's friends. She was an enormous help through Jeremy's crisis as she had contacts with the deaf community that I don't have. I love her very much and secretly wish her and Jeremy would get back together someday, but right now he's too scared to date ANYONE. I can't say I blame him after what Amber VanOrman did to him. I found out she did the same thing to another boy before Jeremy. I feel sorry for whomever she dates, they better be careful, this girl is trouble. Her name on myspace is "RIP my jeans, not my heart" but her profile is private which is fine, I don't want to see it anyway. Just seeing her picture on different myspace pages is hard enough. I will never forgive her for what she did to my family.

Speaking of which, it's time to tell the truth. I have 4 children: daughter 28, son 27, daughter 27, and son 22. Jeremy is the youngest. That's all I will say about them as they've asked me not to talk about them. I ©love them with all my heart.

Have a great weekend kittens! xoxo

Sept. 28, 2006 - I think I'm going to faint

I just found Joe Satriani and Steve Vai's myspace pages. These guys are my heroes, guitar gods, idols, whatever! I've loved Steve's work since 1984. I first heard Satch in 1995. These guys make music that touches my soul, makes me laugh, cry, rock out, head bang, play air guitar, the works! I've already been added to Tori Amos's and Helen Trevillion's friends lists, so if Vai & Satch add me, I will have a kind of contact with my 4 favorite musicians. *breathe*
