My bizarre take on a strange holiday tradition has produced magical dancing light.
p.s. may all of yours be merry and bright.

even if no one gets me, if i'm the only one laughing at my jokes, i won't hide myself away from life. it's uncertain and it's dirty and it's fucking exciting, and i want to be a part of all of it.
it's too good to waste in hiding.

heart full
Today on my way home from class, I stopped off at the petrol station for some petrol. I paid on my card which wasn’t a lot, and then as I was getting into my car, I saw an old man walking past the building. He had a red and green stripy jumper which was frayed at the ends. He was also wearing some jeans that were dirty and had holes all over.
I sat there and became intrigued by him because I didn’t know what he was doing, so as I sat there and watched him, he continued doing what he set out to do.
He walked past the trash cans and first picked out a cup with some drink still in it (one of the cups that you get from burger king that has coke in it). He then walked over to the next trash can and pulled out the end of a half eaten sandwich. In my shock horror, he ate it and then went to sit on the wall to drink the drink he had found.
I felt sad, I wanted to give him my last $4 that I had but I was told when I was younger that you should never give people money, you should give them something they need or can use because that way, if they had an addiction, they would not be able to use the money for their addiction. So I went into the shop and bought a chicken sandwich from their deli counter and then walked out of the building.
The guy was still sat at the wall drinking his drink so I walked up to him and asked him if he would like this sandwich. He thanked me and said that he was hungry.
I should of felt good after that, doing something for someone else but all I could think of is where his next meal will come from or where in fact he will sleep tonight.

Jennicula,
Thank you for sharing your story. Although it only appeared briefly, I was lucky enough to have caught it.
Once upon a time, for me, that was the best part of this place...having my words related back to me from another's perspective.
And it never mattered to me who said it, just that it meant something to the writer.

Don't let anyone tell you how to live your life. Hold your head up high and be proud of who you are. If you've had a shitty day and you feel like people just don't want you to be happy, and when you find yourself struggling to make it through the day, just keep on believing and keep the faith. Also, from personal experience, don't push people away. When they say they want to help and that they are there for you, let them in. Believe me, I know how fucking scary that thought is, but don't shut others out.

Sometimes, when you look back on stuff in your life, you know, the crap that makes you shake your head and say, "Holy shit, what the Hell was I thinking?" it's part of what makes you - you.
I'm not perfect by any stretch of the imagination. I have made small mistakes and really big, fucking scary mistakes. Would I change those mistakes and blunders?
No. Wanna know why?
Because they make me - me. They help make up the person that I am, what I've learned the hard way. Hopefully I've learned from my mistakes and have become a better person for it. And, hopefully I don't repeat those same mistakes. Although, sometimes I repeat variations of certain ones, but I'm working on that. :)

aloft
Blazing against the sun
like locusts,
samaras swarm the sky
and skitter to an earthly end,
dry
like clever words.
I want to make them fly up,
flip heaven upside down
and dance across the top of hell
and sing your thoughts
to the sound of thunder
that you love so well,
rip open the littered sky
and bathe in the light
or draw across the firmament
the blanket of the night.
In only a day they have
covered the ground,
their brief flight
yielding nothing permanent
on infertile land,
a fleeting moment of swarming glory
that calls to mind our own
short story:
Diamonds and petals,
the loom and the light,
the inkdark moon, foxfire marsh,
an open, waiting hand.
Clever winged seeds
of childhood reminiscent--
and like the idiot grown-up heart,
as stubbornly indehiscent.

Electric Blue
…today I saw a ulysses butterfly it was in our yard and settled to feed on our hibiscus. They really are fantastically beautiful things, the electric blue is amazing, however as they sit with their wings closed they are rather nondescript and dull. Sometimes people are like that, from the outside they seem unappealing but within there hides an amazing beauty for those lucky enough to see it. I hope you appreciate beauty in all things, and look for it perhaps where others miss it.

LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL.
I read your post again and suddenly without warning memories of construction paper filled my head. I remembered all the lop-sided flowers my girls made when they were young. Bright blue, yellow and pink flowers that were cut out with blunt end scissors would fill the windows to decorate for Easter. An occasional bunny was attempted but those usually ended up looking like creatures from a horror movie. Flowers were so much easier. I can close my eyes and hear the paper being cut into petals. I can smell the Elmer’s glue squirted on in huge blobs to attach each misshapen petal to form the flowers. We had a huge arts and crafts box full of wonderful items just waiting for their imaginations to turn into something wonderful. In my mind I see my daughters, as they once were, small, blond little girls sitting on the floor surrounded by scraps of paper and other art supplies. They would create their masterpieces then proudly show each other. Oh and Lord the messes that would ensue if the glitter made an appearance. Now, the box is forgotten. I’m not really sure where it even is anymore. The few flowers so lovingly created that survived are faded and dusty and high on a shelf they sit. Time marches on, so many things get left behind.
Today was the first Easter I spent alone. I don’t think it really upset me until I remembered the construction paper flowers. Of course I understand that my daughters are growing up and have lives of their own. But understanding doesn’t make it any easier to accept. I miss my little girls in their frilly Easter dresses. I miss the laughter that filled the house when they found what the Easter Bunny left for them. And I miss making the damn flowers.

I wonder if you noticed
all our friends playing
Some had never tried before
and the result was amazing.
Poems from the corner

We did our best to keep them flowing
Late into this night.
If nothing else was accomplished
I hope we made someone see
How truly beautiful and amazing

Sadly there won't be merry or bright on the day, but hopefully plenty on the days after.
Happy Christmas to you and yours, Mayo.
Awesome Mayo! Very cool! Thans for sharing and the well wishes. Right back at ya babe! lol
:0
WTF!? Thans= Thanks. My hands are cold ok? ;)
the first pic looks like sperm swimming around.
Thank you, Mayo! I wish the same for you!
Dude! You shoulda seen my profile pic that I used to have! It looked kinda like these pics!
Thanks for sharing them!
I hope you have a wonderful Christmas, Mayo! ♥♥♥
7:38,
Haha, doesn't it though?
Smoke that's what I thought of! You should link that pic so Mayo might could take a look at it.
WHOA, neato bandito!
Boom!
Cousins have just left and we were eating huge amounts of sugar, I have the biggest headache now.
I almost forgot to say, Merry, Bright, Happy, Joyeux to you too, Mayo. This is a lovely thoughtful gift from you!
And i know how much you love the light. :D
That's for you, Mayo. That's actually kind of because of you, too. I took that pic while I was in Disney World hanging out with Jules and Fimble Star. How cool is that?
Merry Christmas, Mayo! ♥
I'd like to add that I think it's funny you use garland on your tree. What's up 1982? Haha just playing witchoo mayo.
I gotta run, good night everyone and Mayo, thanks again! I like this post a lot. ^_^
Bye Jules!
I like the curly-swirly one. :)
That's funny, Smoke, because I was sitting here trying to figure out which one was my fave and I think I like...well, it's a tie, I like the 2nd and the 3rd ones.
Nah, it's not a tie, it's the 3rd one.
Yep, yep!
I am definitely fan girling the second one.
Merry Christmas Mayo
Thanks for the pictures. I love them. Hope the holidays are everything you wish for and more.
Hi Carrie!
I was leaning to that one too, but there's just something about the third one!
How are ya today?
Hey Carrie! Hey Elena!
LHM liked the last one. He was like, "Whoah! That looks cool!"
The third one reminds me of like, Jetson cars or something. And hey Solly and Smoke and Elena! How is LHM feeling, Smoke?
Hey Smoke tell LHM that the last pic is my favorite too.
Hi Elena!
Yeah, Carrie, there's something outerspacey about it.
Hey everyone
You know it's weird but I've been sick all day and have actually spent the whole day sleeping.
I finally made myself get up so I came here to see what's going on and was so happy to see Mayo's photos. They've made me feel better.
Will do, Elena! :)
He's feeling much better today, Carrie. He got knocked out with some cough medicine and super-duper antibiotics last night. He hasn't had a fever today, thank goodness! So he is now back to running wild. Yay!
Elena,
Fight that shit off! Don't let it get you down!
He is now running around sticking my shoes in his daddy's face yelling, "Smell! OMG! Smell!"
I do not have stinky feet. I don't know what he's talking about. ^_~
Z-pack and Norel DM. It worked for LHM, Elena! ^_^
I'm glad he's feeling better! And I of course refuse to believe your dainty proncess feet smell of anything other than spring posies.
Hee-hee! ^_^
Okay, raise your hand if you have already tried to take a pic like Mayo's.
Z-pack?
Smoke what is that?
Bwahaha! Spring posies!
Ha, I wouldn't even know how to begin to do that. Me, not so artsy with photos. :)
Happy Holidays Mayo! I dig your photos. :)
Elena,
Only the baddest ass antibiotics on the planet. You take em over a period of a few days instead of weeks.
Carrie,
I was trying to be extra clevah with my lame ass LG. I ran up to my Christmas tree and jiggled my phone and thought I could recreate Mayo's magic.
No such luck.
Hey, maybe it's not the phone that's lame after all. Maybe it's just me.
Boo yow!
Hey Andrea!
Yep, it's a five day deal, Elena. You take 2 pills the first day and the one for the next four and that's it. Usually works like a charm.
Solly,
I tried to take pics like this of my tree right after I put it up and it didn't work out so well. That's how I figured out how lame my tree was!
Okay, off to finish The Dark Knight! Later folks!
Have a great night!
Tomorrow is Christmas Eve! Yay!!!!!
I experienced the magic of the Z-pack one Christmas when I went to VA, and ended up with a double ear infection. The doctor actually called other people in to look at it, they hadn't seen such a bad one in an adult before. I just didnt' have time to be sick, and I kept trying to Christmas wish it away, yeah, um, not so much. But it was bad enough I got narcotic pain killers, so that was a plus! :)
Night Smoke! Have fun!
Yeah, Smoke, I don't think there are enough lights or something. Oh well, oh well, oh well...Night, night!
I hate the damn blinking weather bug. Seriously, Mr. Winter, I am not digging this(well, I am, literally) anymore. There's already a good 14 inches of white crap on the ground, and they are talking 6-10 more by tomorrow evening. And I have to work, and just this shit is so not funny anymore!! Bah humbug stoopid White Christmas.
We're supposed to get more snow tonight too.
Gosh, guys! I have no idea what snow or a white Christmas is even like and I don't think I'm even sad about it.
Revel in your non white Christmas, Solly. Well, I guess I do like a white one, but you know, more of the two or three inches variety, this big flump of snow is just getting ridonculous. And oh noes, Elena, you too?
I am sick of snow! Blackadder Christmas is on! Gotta watch it!
I wouldn't be sad about it if I were you sdock. A white Christmas looks really nice on a Christmas card but in real life it's a pain.
We're watching Elf for the forty leventh time.
Oh anon
I love Blackadder.
I've never seen it, but I have heard the name. I just looked it up on Wiki, and looks like something I would like, being the Anglophile I am.
I'm watching The Icki Twins on Double Shot of Love.
I'm almost embarrassed at myself.
The last time it really snowed here was like 19 years ago. We got a few inches and stuffs. It was pure chaos. We totally can't handle that shit.
Gotta admit, also haven't watched Shot of Love, much less the Double one. :) Hey, did you check out Momma's Boys? I admit it, and I said it waaaay before Gerard did, I loves me some trashy reality tv.
*squeals*
Mayo, I love those photos! You must have a really good lens. Mine never come out that interesting.
Oh, and Solly, yeah, growing up in VA. I don't think we even had a snow plow. One inch and school closed, heck, I remember one time snow was just forecasted and school got canceled. It was quite the culture shock when I moved up here.
I know what you mean, sdock. When I lived in Charleston SC one morning they got about an inch of snow and it was like the world came to a stand still. They were canceling school and shit. The guy I worked for called the store and wanted to know why I was there. He thought I should have stayed home. I was like, "Dude I'm from Kansas this ain't nothing."
Hey Amy! My husband and I have slowly been watching Snakes On a Plane over the last couple of days, and I told him the whole Snakes in a Blouse story. He thinks you're nutz.
Yeah, we were always praying for a snow day and the one time it really snowed was during Christmas break and it was fun but created such a mess. It didn't take long for us to be like, "okay, we're done with the snow." And then it melted and we haven't had to deal with it again.
Carrie, I know. I love me a good reality show. But this one, I can't decide if it's amazing, if it's awwh, or just plain awkward with a little ewww mixed in.
Oh, I hate it when it gets all awkward and you have the wincey face while you're watching, yet it is still hard to look away, no matter how guilty you feel for still looking. :)
LOL CARRIE!!
"I HAVE HAD IT WITH THESE MOTHERFUCKING SNAKES IN MY MOTHERFUCKING BLOUSE!!"
But, I didn't get bit. :)
That's still one of my favorite blog moments. :) I think that was courtesy of MJ, maybe? The movie, it is quite deliciously horrible, we just watch it in installments, I haven't figured out if it's because it's so bad we can't take it, or if we are savoring it.
i don't like Mayo's jizz pics.
Oh, but the second one isn't so jizzy, is it?
jizz killed the blog.
Oh, only if you want it to. How are you anon? Are you dealing with snow?
It's night, night time for me, Guys! Only gotta work half a day tomorrow. Christmas Eve and all that craziness!
Have a wonderful evening!
Mayo, thanks again for the pretty pics and thoughtful words.
Night, Solly! Enjoy your freaky non snow Christmas!
Ha, I got to be 69, dude.
Eeek.
Whatever you do...
... scratch that.
DO google Depleted Uranium.
And then get PISSED FUCKING RIGHT GODDAMN OFF ABOUT IT.
brb, housecleaning.

VERY nice photography, Mayo, VERY nice. Really impressive shots! My favorite, I think, is the third one. It reminds me of comets, hundreds of tiny multicolored comets racing through space. Christmas comets.
I hope you and SS go over to Ergo's to check out all your gifts, and all the others that folks have made or left. There's some really cool ones so far.
Merry Christmas to you, my Mayo friend. May Santa leave you all the wishes you've wished and all the dreams you've dreamed.
Goodnight Mayo, and thanks.
Dear SS,
So...I'll bet one of those Ss (or would it be S's, or even Esses) stands for Santa. Yeah?
"Shitsubou Santa"
or
"Santa Shita"?
I kind of like the second one. Has a kick to it.
Hope I'm on that list of yours, Santa S. Which one? I'll let you decide. ;)
Goodnight, baby. I love you.
My heart to yours, always.
Stop trying to beg him for some kind of present. It's pathetic. Every time you talk to him its awkward. I hope his girl friend reads your stalker words to him and laughs at you.
Pruddy pictures. Happy holidays Mayo.
You like laughing at people don't you 12:03. I wonder how many people laugh at what you say every day.
Anon: is this your business? Did I address you? What concern is it of yours? Are you SS's girlfriend? He's never said one way or the other if he even has one. So, you don't like it?
Scroll past it. And quit worrying about it, you'll drive up your blood pressure.
12:03, stop being jealous. You don't wear it well and it's pretty damn obvious.
Also, it's Christmas Eve, go Grinch it up somewhere else.
Anyway, this is my last login for tonight. I need to get the 3 days of dishes done. Yech.
Goodnight Lovelies, Mayo and SS@
See you all tomorrow!
-A
Goodnight Amy, have fun with those dishes...
Merry Christmas Eve!
Anon, if you wanna poke Mayo, get on the bus
bless his little heart!
Mayo
Thank you again for sharing the photos. They are beautiful. As I sit here trying to write this I know in my heart that I shouldn’t. Tonight darkness seems to be in control. Maybe it’s because I’m not feeling well and slept all day. Maybe it’s because the added pressure of the holidays is getting to me. All I do know is that I’m alone. The girls are all at various parties, so I must wait up for them. If that weren’t the case I would be sleeping again. Shit, just how many hours can a person sleep out of the day? Unfortunately I know from experience the number. I just wish I felt like doing something, anything but I don’t. I don’t want to watch TV, I don’t want to read and what is hardest for me to take is I don’t want to write. Writing is usually what saves me in times like this. It makes my mind stop thinking about my emotions and concentrate on something else. Well, not tonight. I can’t string words together.
Shit, okay, enough. Mayo, it is my deepest wish that this holiday season brings you joy. Hold your loved ones close to your heart.
Night Mayo
Elena
You obv. think that SS is Frank. You said so yourself and you know he's married. How do you know Jamia doesn't read it? If I was her I'd be laughing at your pathetic ass. It must feel good for her to know that all of these pathetic fangirls want her man but at night she's the only one he goes home to. You never mention her OPJ. You like to pretend he belongs only to you. But she exists and he loves her. It is her that he will be cuddling up with on Christmas. You are nothing more than a creepy fan who goes over the line.
12.51 GTFO with this shit. No one cares. Not the regulars here not SS.
Dudes? Did you check my emo teardrops?
L it is good to see you I m ok want to go some place else I don't feel comfortable here.
Why not, MJ?
My opinion is not welcome here.
Goodnight L, and MJ, just because I may personally not agree with your opinion about certain things, does NOT mean it isn't welcome. I like other points of view, makes me think. Doesn't necessarily mean I'll all change my view, but yeah, with the thinking.
Hey 12:51, did you lose that citrus reamer I got you for Christmas last year? I can find a whole host of nasty little things for you to shove up your ass this year too if you'd like.
Starting with your head, following with your foul attitude towards others, and ending with my foot.
How's that sound? Merry Christmas!
-A
Mayo and SS,
Here it comes! I hope you're ready and that you enjoy yourselves over the next few days!
Two more sleeps!!
*dances off to bed*
Mayo (who I called out on my blog, but all in fun, dude, all in fun), and SS, Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and all that stuff. To my Blog Sisters, dudes, you are invaluable, can't even begin to let you know what you all mean to me. I hope you all have a wonderful holiday, and I am still so glad that I "met" all of you.

I know who the anon is. If you want to know, leave a mesage here. i will email you.
Happy Christmas Eve, BlogBelieve!

Come on, you all knew it was gonna be colored all shades of red and white!
Happy Christmas Eve Mayo, SS, Ergo, Sweetcheeks, Amy, J, L, Elena, Carrie, Martha, BI; the probably soon to arrive Sdock and Smoke; the (still) missed Kass, DL, RW and Possum; various anons, watchers and lurkers; all lovers of silver and gold (tinsel, garland or ornaments) in the land of blog!
How are you all on this warm (for me) Christmas Eve? Happy, well and feeling the holiday cheer (or will be by tonight), I hope!
Mayo: Thank you for the shiney presents/pictures! I think I like the first and third ones best. The first one looks like you captured music notes dancing through the midnight sky! Quite happily dancing, I might add!
The third one reminds me of a meteor shower. The brilliant, fiery colors of the universe raining down on mother earth!
I'm not particularly fond of that second one. It reminds me of a canine heart (preserved in a jar and infested with heart worms) that I would see every 4 months at Billie Jean's vet's office. That thing was disgusting! But, it is the thought that counts and I'm sure you weren't thinking heart worms when you took or posted the picture. ;)
Thank you, Mayo. I hope your holidays are filled with warmth, love, smiles, laughter, joy and lots of wonderful HUGS. I hope the same for you SS!
Don't forget to visit Ergo's blog. That goes for everyone!

Carrie: I took a peek at your place. You know I have trouble resisting temptations that are dangling right in front of my nose! You're too funny!! Thanks for the LOLs Carrie!
Elena: *huge hug*
Now get out of bed and go drink...
I mean FIND some holiday cheer!
*big wink and another hug*
L: It's so good to see you around. The circumstances surrounding your feeling the need to comment last night were/are definitely not good; but, having you (and J) around is ALWAYS great. At least, it is for me!
*huge hug for you too*
Amy: What's that tune your humming? It's a catchy one!
Sweetcheeks: Did you finish wrapping all your presents? I bet they're beautiful, no matter what you say.
Mya: I'm loving my soaps!!! Thank you so much!
BI: I have something for you in the refrig at Ergos! Maybe it's under the refrig! ;)
Martha: It's always great to see you around here, too! I miss your jokes and your stories.
Before this turns into yet another novella (and because I really do need to try to get a few hours of sleep), I shall move on to the usual...
Today's submission for your reading pleasure and pondering consideration:

It makes no noise at all,

While quite unselfish, it grows small.

Hi PJ, Bikey, It's Me, DA, P Anon, Fruit Punch, Fang Bang, SC and Magic Pie!
PS: How are you and the family, FASC? I hope you're all feeling better.
You too MissT!!
Sdock: You're too fast for me! Or, maybe I'm too slow for you...
;P
Happy Christmas Eve to you!!!!
I just got this in my e~mail:
Dear Wendy,
You've got a trip coming up! We just wanted to send you a reminder about your flight itinerary.
Yeah, like I'm gonna forget about THAT!
;)
But, this made me laugh:
IMPORTANT! A valid, government-issued photo ID will be required for check-in.
Each passenger must have the proper documents for travel outside their country of citizenship (e.g., correct visa, up-to-date passport). For documentation requirements, contact the embassy or consulate of all countries involved in your travel itinerary (include transit countries).
For passport/visa requirements for travel to/from the U.S., visit http://www.travel.state.gov
Now, if I didn't already have my passport and valid government issued id, wouldn't it be JUST A LITTLE LATE to get them?
I think it would be!
I'm off to try to get some sleep now. Have fun spoiling LHM, Sdock!
*blows kisses to blog believe*

*BIG HUG FOR YOU*
You're a wonderful and strong woman,Elena.I'm sure everything will be alright in the end.
Right,I'm really off.
Bye!
Kapu, Did you get the Christmas gift? If you did its back on the other post and I missed it.... I hope you got it!!!
"I've had e-fucking-nough.
You still here 12:51? Thought everyone had left and it was alright for you to slink out from under whatever slime covered rock you came from? Show yourself. I want to talk to you.
NOW!"
Hahaha come on! Throw a tantrum! It's funny. Just because we are not on the same time doesn't mean there's some big plan. We just say what we think is the truth ..... our opinions. It is funny to watch you squeal after we leave though.

December 24, 2008 12:25 PM
I'm so glad that making people squeal turns you on. It's sad really....making fun of people so that you can have a laugh. It must mean that you don't get enjoyment out of everyday things. Instead of making me mad,i feel really sorry for you. Merry christmas anon.
I am still made up with flu but I wanted to pop in to wish everyone a Happy Christmas.
Have a fantastic day everyone
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I did muster up the strength to put together some gifts for you all. Here's the link:
Pressies
See you all when I'm less snotty.
xxxxxxx
I'll try that again eh?
Pressies
Fuck, I told you I was ill.
Why won't it work?
Pressies
Third time lucky eh?
Oh fuck I give in.
I do know how to do this but it doesn't seem to be working today. Just like me.
Anyway, http://whoknows61.blogspot.com/2008/12/happy-christmas.html
Check it out but really, don't get too excited.
TS the anon is obviously jealous of the special connection that the OP'S have with SS. The special comments he gives them. Maybe no one else knows about it but they always hear him. He is always speaking to them. He hears their words and answers them. If other's can't see it that is their problem. There has always been a special bond between SS and the OP'S. comments like that are just showing jealousy.
I did get it, 11:49, and it was wonderful! I showed it to my friends and the loved it. Thank you so much!
Now I have to tell you guys all something hilarious!
TS the anon is obviously jealous of the special connection that the OP'S have with SS. The special comments he gives them.
No, i'm not jealous of nobody. I was referring to a certain anon that gets pleasure from laughing at people. I have never said anything about the op's. If you read OR if you can read what i wrote, i was defending not bad mouthing.
Okay, so I have TONS of videos on my youtube, right? And I never bother to take old ones down or clean them out or anything. I had no idea that I still had the lol "trailer" for the MCR LOL "movie" that my friends and I were making up there.
With me so far?
Well I get a message in my inbox today telling me that one of them has been removed by a copyright owner; guess which one? My Chemical Romance had the video removed due to "copyright infringement!"
This was the message:
"A copyright owner has claimed it owns some or all of the audio content in your video Demolition Lovers Trailer 1. The audio content identified in your video is Interlude by My Chemical Romance. "
The beautiful irony of this is that I actually still have written permission to use their music if, indeed, I still wanted to. I halfway had a mind to point that out to them just to be a bitch, but then, two things: I'm glad they took the video down because I honestly forgot that crap was still up there , and 2: I wonder if that might have gotten Frankles in trouble. Like maybe he can't really pull that particular string, you know? Dude was just being nice; turning around and being like "BUT FRANK SAID I COULD" might just cause trouble for him.
Still, though. You guys, I wonder what's making MCR decide to get all crappy like that? I know it's been crappy with them for about a year, but they just keep hitting new lows.
Either way I'm glad that vid is gone. O_O
TS, I was agreeing with you. If you read my comment maybe you would understand that.
Speaking of Youtube, I'm just about to upload a new video in a bit. ^_^ So it's weird that that should come about today, huh?
Oh, hey there Twisted!
Jules,
I dunno, but this might have something to do with it being removed...
Warner Youtube Divorce
That's interesting, Solly. But ll the other MCR ones are still up. O_o In fact because I had earlier been searching for RE4 videos, one came up recommended to me today, and it was an RE4 AMV using an MCR song. And there are at least three RE4 AMVs that use "Dead."
Very odd, huh?
Well, I'm not going to touch it. It's too much bother, I wanted that video gone anyway (I had no idea it was even still up there) and I suspect I'd be causing trouble for Frank if I did so.
Very odd, indeed, Jules. I dunno how they would even begin to remove all the stuff that supposedly infringed on copyright anyways.
OK I'm pretty sure I know how the OP's feel about Jamia. I was there the one time someone made a comment on their porn that the story was like Frank and Jamia, OP-J deleted the comment and said that mentioning Jamia was an insult. They dont' like her BIG DEAL!
I have personally witnessed and seen MUCH worse things being said by others about LynZ! How much has MJ and Kapu called her talentless and ugly and a whore? Why is THAT OK but it's not OK for the OP's to hate Jamia?
Too right, Solly. They had to be pointed in the direction of that video in the first place. O_o
I have personally witnessed and seen MUCH worse things being said by others about LynZ! How much has MJ and Kapu called her talentless and ugly and a whore?
You have personally witnessed no such thing. I never called her ugly or a whore--in fact I've said I think she's very beautiful.
Talentless though, yeah. Everyone knows where I stand on the whole "who needs to play the music when I can do a backbend" philosophy, and then to call those actions, as well as being in a band that thinks hate speech is hilarious, "feminism," just is a truckload of fail.
Wasssssupppp????
Who said that?
Oh! Why would anyone be hating on Jamia? That's not nice. :(
Let's spread some love people! Be nice! YAY!
Who said what?
*looks over shoulder*
I just don't understand why the OP's get yelled at for hating on Jamia but no one defends LynZ.
Love spreads her arms, waits there for the nails
I forgive you, boy, I will prevail
Too much to take, some cross to bear
I'm hiding in the trees with a picnic, she's over there, yeah
Yeah,yeah,yeah
Yeah,yeah,yeah
She didn't scream, she didn't make a sound
I forgive you boy, but don't leave town
Cold black skin, naked in the rain
Hammer flash in the lightning, they're hurting her again
Let me put you in the picture, let me show you what I mean
The messiah is my sister, ain't no king man, she's my queen
I have a dream, I've seen the light
Don't put it out, say she's alright, yeah, she's my sister
She didn't scream, she didn't make a sound
I forgive you boy, but don't leave town
Cold black skin, naked in the rain
Hammer flash in the lightning, they're hurting her again
Oh, oh, ooh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Let me put you in the picture, let me show you what I mean
The messiah is my sister, ain't no king man, she's my queen
I have a dream, I've seen the light
Don't put it out, say she's alright, yeah, she's my sister
^That's what your comment made me think of, Princess! :) I love that song.
Hee-hee! ♥
Gah, I miss Mustard like super duper hard today.
Just stating the obvious...
LHM is trying to beat my ass.
o_O
LHM! Stop that! Santa is watching you! >.<
I got nine minutes to go!!! Whoop! Whoop! See you guys later!
XOXO
Kapu obviously someone on here hates you and probably reported your video to youtube. There are so many videos using MCR's music and yours got pulled down, that's not a coincidence.
Anon, I just don't know who would do that or why. It's just weird.
However if that is the case, then why is it that these people who hate me are always doing me inadvertent favors? ^_^
If that's true, then that's way lame and way scary to think about that someone would take that kind of time and effort to get a video pulled just because they didnt like who posted it, but what else is new when it comes to this place? Stranger and meaner things have definitely happened here.
Smoke, drive safely!
Fo' sho, Solly. Fo' sho.
Welp, I just uploaded another AMV though--because I am that much of a geek--so I hope if that's the case they leave htis one alone. Or I will run and tell Jared! Haha, kidding. Nah, I'd just re-upload it on my private site. :D
To one and all.
I wish you a Christmas that makes you smile, reflect and pulls slightly on your heart.
May all your wishes come true.
From mine to yours.
For Mayo:
Man In Black
You've got to know your limitations. I don't know what your limitations are. I found out what mine were when I was twelve. I found out that there weren't too many limitations, if I did it my way. Johhny Cash
Mayo, I give you "The Man In Black". Partly because you know how much I love Johnny, hell I've
done nothing but say his name probably like a hundred times to you, but mostly I give this song to you because I think if we can ever figure ourselves out
and who we are, we'll finally have our shit together. Here's to us both doing that! Here's to us both doing it our way!!
Yeah, so how lame am I this year? I went the youtube route because there's no way that I could ever give you a gift that even compares to the gift of friendship that I have gotten out of this place. Thank you, Mayo. This whole thing is pretty unfuckingbelievable when you sit down and really start wrapping your brain around it.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays and all that good shit!
For SS:
Boy Named Sue
Sometimes I am two people. Johnny is the nice one. Cash causes all the trouble. They fight. Johnny Cash
SS, I gave you "Boy Named Sue". Did you know that is my nephew's favorite Cash song? Yep, I was just sitting here typing and listening to songs and he runs in here..."play that song I like so much! play that Sue song!" I picked this one for you because I also like the message behind it.
The idea that we can take what we think is the worst possible thing in our lives and use it to our advantage. Well, that and because he has to be like one of
the first dudes to say "Son of a bitch" in a song.
Just like with Mayo and my other BlogBelievers, I don't know how to even put into words the things that I have learned from you. You have taught me to constantly be aware of others and their feelings, but to mainly be aware of myself and by that, I mean that I now try and take that extra step, make a little extra effort, try a little harder, give a little bit more.
Thank you, my friend, Merry Christmas to you and your whole family.
For BlogBelieve:
You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space.
Johnny Cash
Here's something that I put on my blog last year, and yeah, even though I've borrowed these words before I think they still sum up
perfectly just how I feel:
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to My BlogBelieve Family!
When I think of all the times we've shared
from the silly to the sad
You've been the greatest friends to me
through good times and through bad.
We love to get crazy from time to time,
that's what friends are supposed to do
But when times get rough
there is never a doubt that I can count on all of you.
We have the kind of friendship
that endures til the very end
Because I can't imagine my life without all of you-
You are all my forever friends!
I borrowed that from someone else and changed just a couple of words.
LOVE YA'LL!
Thank you Mayo! Merry Christmas to you too.
&
To everyone else here.
(:

Still, though. You guys, I wonder what's making MCR decide to get all crappy like that? I know it's been crappy with them for about a year, but they just keep hitting new lows.
Kapu
I hate to burst your hating on and blaming the boys in
MCR bubble but it's not MCR's fault.
Warner and youtube are now divorced. Contract renewal negotiations failed.
That copyright message came from youtube. Since Warner would not renew their contract youtube doesn't want the music of any Warner bands on any video they host.
It doesn't matter if you do have written permission.
Youtube will no longer show videos with the music of any Warner band.
Try finding Madonna, Green Day, The Red Hot Chili Peppers. You won't.
The divorce of Warner and Youtube
4:12,
That has already been discussed.
4:13
I missed hearing the ringer for the end of that discussion. Are you the ringer master?
Yep.
Do you have something new to add?
BTW
I didn't see any talk of the Warner and Youtube divorce. I saw false accusations being made again.
It is not someone's fault this was done to Kapu.

Doesn't anyone read the news anymore 4:13?
hello everyone!!
Merry Christmas everybody.

merry christmas to you also "it's not MCR getting crappy"!!
Aaaaactually, that's not the email that I got. The email that I got was that Youtube was specifically contacted by the holder of the copyright to that one particular song. And the rest of them are still up, which is weird.
Umm, anon, you're not going to change how I feel about what they've become, either way. I was quit with them the day they took MSI on the road; and if I hadn't been then, then for sure the day that Gerard made a bunch of girls simulate an orgasm for him. Vince Neil much? No thank you! The 80's were bad enough the first time. ^_^
Hiya FASC! :D
They won't be up for much longer. As soon as youtube finds them
they pull them. Do you have any idea how many videos using music from Warner bands are on youtube? They won't all come down overnight.
Youtube is not Santa Claus.
This is not a conspiracy against Kapu. She isn't the only one who had a video pulled. Thousands have.
Merry Christmas anon. Bye bye.
hi K!!
how are you doing?
I never said it was a conspiracy, anon. O_O But thanks for finding me important enough. I just thought it was really odd and sudden.
I've also got other clips up using songs from bands on that company and those haven't been pulled. It's just very odd.
But actually, I'm very glad it was taken down because it's just something that I kept forgetting to see to.
And, again, in case you missed it: You're still not going to change my general opinion of MCR. :)
Happy holidays! :D
I'm good, FASC. Just huuuuungry.
How about you? Is your kid feeling any better? I hope so!
4:33
I think I love you!
Happy Christmas xxx
K, all of mine are better except for the middle one, who is better, but the cough goes on and she is so run down and knackered! but no germs anymore so that's all cool!
thank god it could have been alot worse.
poor miss T being poorly, and did solly say fim is ill with the flu?
I'm not trying to change your mind Kapu. I'm trying to get the facts to 4:13
the anon I was addressing.
Merry Christmas Kapu.
Bye bye.
4:41
The feeling is mutual
I'm sure.
Happy Christmas to you!
Well, anon, then I have Warner to thank for taking care of that little forgotten item. ^_^
FASC, I'm glad the worst of it is done! I'm all lung-hacking as well. Fun! Green tea with honey really helps a lot. I hope your middle kid is 100% soon.
cheers K!!
man, this evening has flown!
gotta go now, it's nearly 10pm and we have to sort the stockings out and all the "santa" gifts!!
i will pop in tomorrow just to say a brief happy chrimbo!
so for now, night everyone!
night mayo and SS!
i was 169!
Good night, FASC! LOL, you were, you tart! Enjoy your holiday.
I gots a run, too. Dinner, don't ya know. :D Later all!
Merry Christmas!!!!!!
And whatnot. Happy holidays to everyone, no matter what hemisphere you're in.
Mayo, brilliant pics, not at all sperm-like! :P
I hope you're well hun, and I enjoyed the 'Rudolf rant', quite right!
SS, I'm thinking of getting you Honkey the wonder horse for Christmas. Special stuff!
And to all of you, thank you for making this year special, you are all such wonderful people.
*hugs and kisses*
xoxo cupcake
Merry Christmas, SS!
Hi Cupcake!
I hope you're well hun,
Boy, did I read that one wrong! O_o
Hi, Solly!
Hi, S(S)S! Thank you very much, and to you as well. All the best good fortune in '09 to you and your loved ones. ^_^
OMG, you posted BLACKADDER! I adore that show and Mummy K was just talking about it at dinner earlier.
I have this one on VHS somewhere. Right on! :)
Merry Christmas, Jules!
Is it me, or was he weirdly really hot in that role? O_O
"I've always found you 'fowl' Mrs. Scratchett, and more than a little."
Favorite line!
Merry Christmas to you SS! Good to see ya back.
Where's SS?
Awwww, SS. :)
You took all the 'fucks' down! I can pull up your page again at work! Yay! Hahaha!
Merry Christmas, dude! Hope yours is awesome!!!! ♥
Back to putting together crazy WWE wrestling rings! See you guys later! ^_^
Belle. He wrote it at his page. He wished everyone a Merry Christmas and wanted love, laughter, health, and happiness for us all. There's also clicky links to videos to watch.
And the videos link to Blackadder's Christmas Carol, a definite holiday classic!
Yay! Merry Christmas to you too SS!
hello only on for a second, about to have xmas lunch
miss you all and
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!
(and I called elena this morning and talked to her!!! It was so cool!!!)
Merry Christmas mayo
Merry Christmas SS
:]
As we all know, Christmas is that mystical time of year when the ghost of Jesus rises from the grave to feast on the flesh of the living! So we all sing Christmas Carols to lull him back to sleep.
Ergo!!
Sorry I missed you! I'm sorta watching the Nightmare before Christmas...
I hope your Christmas is going really well, so far for me, one Christmas wish down, one or two more to go!!
Merry Christmas, Peter!
"And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were so afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men."
"That's what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown."
Merry Christmas to the residents of BlogBelieve. God bless us, every one.
Hi Amy! Hi Ergo!
Hallo J!!
How's Christmas Eve going for you?
I finally figured out how to turn the flash off on my camera, resulting in some pretty pictures of my tree. Not as nice as Mayo's, but it's got this neat colored glowing lights thing happening.
Hi everyone. Merry christmas to all those who celebrate it :)
Hallo Amy! Hi J
Hey BC! Merry Christmas! *hugs* It's officially Christmas here, it's 12.20 a.m.
Going pretty well, Amy, all I have left to do is find a gift bag for my mom's presents and wrap my niece's birthday present, and wee-hoo, I'm done! How about you?
Hallo BC! *hugs* I hope your celebrations are going well!
J, I had all my wrapping done last weekend, had Chinese Food for supper, Mister's conked out on the couch, and The Nightmare Before Christmas is playing in the background.
And I understand that what I'm about to say is more blasphemous than Baby Jesus as the Shepherd's Baby, but I..
...
I'm not really finding myself absorbed in TNMBC.
*expects to be clubbed now*
I am the Virgin Mary. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
SOMEONE should stop the Anti-Christian messages here.
'Sokay, Ames. I like the movie too, but it's like a lot of others: if you've seen it a lot, then sometimes it's not as...gripping as it once was.
Did either of you put presents at Ergo's? I did this morning.
Outrageous, How dare he say such blasphemy. I've got to do something.
