elcome my (hopefully) fellow cat lovers?
I gotta say that not all enjoy the feline species ...
My dog is the first that comes to mind
So if your not a lover an owner perhaps a fan? (maybe)?
lol
y now - You've figured that I'm an 'animal' lover.
Not really a "Cat Person" per-say ... If I HAD a choice
between any one pet to own - it be a dog over a cat.
But I've still an affection for the felines ...
Completely different from the dog in so many ways:
Dogs are just so subservant, while the cats independent
with self-reliance and a control freak to any affection shown.
hich truthfully is more LIKE me - in personality.
They remind me of myself in their ways:
Like the cat - I'll purr and show warmth
but it's under my terms, You cant just call
me over (inter alia: dogs) to come
with my tail wagging and ready to please.
Nah ... me, I'm a CAT like affection giver?
I'm unsure if that's good or bad - I guess it matters
if your into how those darn cats love or not??
Which brings me to:
hat animal tendency do you have
re you "Cat-like" or feel some other "animal-spirit" inside you?
Any "wild" side or repressed "animal" inside you - wanting out?
ff topic a little, I have a cat 'snowball' who looks a
lot like the white cat on each side of today's video.
Well snowball doesn't like much of anything
(including my dog)
But all of a sudden -
'Ball' has decided it wanted
a PET of it's own.
Yes, my cat wants an adopt a stray for its own.
The 'Tween' cat started following Ball
around and it looks as if Ball is in control.
Now, animals tend to 'pal' but I think this is
more a master/pet relationship than of equal partners.
The stray cat I branded "Bat" (Ball & Bat)
does as Ball commands too.
Funny thing, Ball is fixed -
So it doesn't fight for the
neighborhood 'heated' cats at all,
but this little 'Pet' of his is also male
and too young to start male
dominance or chase females as of yet.
So by the end of summer I wonder how this will end?
-lol- It is cute to watch them
(until Ball tries to bring 'Bat' in the house with him)
And I feed ball in the house,
so I'm not letting the Cat's 'PET'
get used to any Hospitality
(I did see Ball walk out with one of his kitty treats though)
y comment is one of only two video comments
I send ... I cant give you origins or details on the
"Caturday" video -
and I not even sure how many times I've sent it out.
I think this is the fouth post, I've sent it as is
the last couple times only added the flash in the
background ... which is rare, me not changing a lot.
ideo is Detroit Cities own 'Motor City Madman'
Ted Nugent Cat Scratch Fever/State Of Shock circa:1978
(seems the 70's has been my choice of music all week?)
Ted is tied for second in bands I seen live
5 times - although I really liked his music,
The concerts I seen him in where to
see the other bands everytime.
BTW - Ozzy Osbourn is the one I seen most
8 times for Ozzy, (Ozzfest for each)
ZZ Top 5 times (was for other bands also)
hat's all for today - I hope this finds you well.
Caturday or Saturday either one, I hope it's just full of fun.
And I leave you with my Caturday comment:

Welcome back my blog readers & friends
well, if your reading the blog - hopefully you're
already a FRIEND ... or maybe reading it sways
your choice to become one (a friend)
*shakes head*
(God I gotta start coming up with better greetings!)
I have tried to and sometimes succeed
picking up on peoples vibes, I'm pretty good at it -
Actually that ability made me a pretty good living,
No I wasn't a 'vibe-reader' at the local carnival
*ha*
(at least NOT YET)
I guess I should say it helped a great deal.
Picking up on a lot of down friends ...
Oh, most have convey what's bugging them
and I truly understand why YOU may be a down!
I'm the king of the moods myself - full blown bipolar
So I'm not going to try to push my will of moods on anyone ...
I know it takes your own doing to come out of your funk.
Now, I will pass this little something on
(of help) along with
Tell me about your favorite vacation
Childhood or even more recent spot
that you enjoy/enjoyed visiting for a sabbatical.
Include how it came about or circumstances leading to it.
This is a therapeutic as it gets, to think back
of the pleasant times and family gatherings.
Even remembering the bad experiences can
help distract or relieve your funky moods.
My fondest memory of vacationing in my youth?
Back when my parents were still together and all my sibling
but my eldest sister still lived at home (circa 1970's)
My dad was as hippish/hillbillish as they got.
He truly could live off the land if necessary.
A true out-doors-men as long as there wasn't a
bar around to lure him into as they are known to do
Well each summer we'd pack up the station wagon
and just "Go as the crow flies" and camp wherever the
car would take us. And stay until we ran out of food & money.
Hardly ever do I remember a "TENT" in the conventional sense.
We usually used some canvases that when wasn't a makeshift tent for the vacation,
It would doubled as his tarps to protect his carpentry equipment from the weather.
Yeah, we were po' as they be
But, "IF" we even stayed at those 'fancy' campsites (lol)
We usually just found a clearing in the woods and park it.
I cant recall any of the girls complaining - We just though
that's how everyone camped. I remember gasping at the
big fancy tents and would truly be in awe of the campers.
(RV's were even rare to see, at least at the places we stayed)
Awww memories ... I can still remember picking berries
for the pancakes cooked in a skillet over an open flame.
Black bears & raccoons incidents of stealing our food.
Being discussed by the roadside parks with those smelly "straight johns"
Yeah "The Blue Ridge Parkway" before the highways & commercial sites
Were the sacred grounds of my childhood vacations ...
And just as happy as can be & unaware of our poverty too.
Which is another way to get from the funk,
"counting your blessings"
My mama always said:
"If you think you have it bad,
you don't have to look far to find
someone who is a lot worst off than you.
And during our travels in that beat up wagon & canvas tents
we'd always travel threw mountain towns that people LIVED
under tents - who didn't have a car, beat up -or- otherwise?
All of a sudden as we'd pass those poor souls,
mama & dad would offer them food -
which often meant we'd have to cut our
vacation short.
I cant ever remember anyone
complaining about that either.
When we arrived home,
the little house that looked a
little less 'nicer' always looked
like a million dollars to me.
The grass would be in bad need of mowing.
But as we all grabbed things to bring back
and reflect on the time away ...
At least our family had a -home-
and it made it nicer to come back to.
 Any vaction stories that just make your heart smile?
Please share!
Today's comment is a once run from
about a year ago?
I think I threw it together
when running late, using
a couple items that I'd used
on other comments (ie: Fridays)
I thought I'd add some feel good
music to help sooth your soul ...
And the late great Bob Marley
is just the guy to 'uplift' moods.
So I hope your visit to my blog
was a little 'vacation' from whatever
ales you today - Come back anytime!

I hope 'IF' this day finds you definitely twisted
That your bends and turns at lease had a few
Good stomach laughs & spins from within.
What I used to call "losing my stomach"
The twist & turns of life time ...
Those of even a single day can be diverse.
Even how people decipher the word:twist
Twist, Twister, twisted
All the images displayed here although
very diverse in perception - all derived from
the same search or keyword:TWIST
Sorry I got a little off subject ...
Which YOU probably wondered by now where
this was leading and how I was going to turn
my dibble into a decent subject for discussion ...
Which by now - YOU should know DOESN'T always happen!
But my mind is a little twisted and threw some 'spins & turns'
I might be able to turn my twisted thoughts into something to talk about.
Maybe ...
Actually I just wanted to play
with the word for a bit -
and see how I could twist things around.
Which I dont mind when I get things twisted:
'PURPOSELY'
But I really hate when something I said
gets all twisted around from it's meaning!
Or misconstrued as some entirely different ...
Or as public figures like to say:
"It was taken out of content"
Which I now twisted to this:
      
Have you been a victim of twist
 
I'm sure there's been some sort of mishap
that what you've said somehow got
all twisted into the wrong thing?
I know I've have way too many times myself.
An innocent conversation that somehow turn south.
Honest moment that was twisted into something devious.
Example of mine that I CAN share ...
I Dont want to open any wounds here
This happen several years ago and
I've filed it under "Live & Learn"
And I assure you no malice was ever intended,
In fact -all- parties involved were people who I
genuinely enjoyed their company & USED to
look forward to seeing at one of my favorite bars.
One afternoon while sittng at said bar ...
Just doing what I always did - smiling, drinking, and
talking to anyone who wanted to converse about whatever
(ut oh - "long twisted tail" oops 'Tale' warning)
An attractive lady comes in and sits in the empty stool beside me.
I knew who she was but really never had any kind of
conversation with her before that day she sat down beside me.
Turns out she was a sister of someone who I'd just visited his
home and did some partying with just the weekend before ...
So after we established a conection of sorts - Her brother-
I kept things light and casual, informing her of last weekend
events (not going into details - you never know about family)
So mentioning that I'd seen her brother which I said I also
knew here brothers girlfriend 'Suzy', heck I just seen her
HERE yesterday along with so-and-so and a bunch of other people
who were sitting at the bar - all watching something on TV ...
(etc ... etc ...)
Pleasant conversation ... Not a detail mention (that I knew of)
Actually found I like the gal, she was a "HOT" young teacher
when I was in school and also a sister of a new friend of mine.
So, reading that ... Where did I go wrong?
Can you pick the spot that it turned south??
Heck, I didn't see anything wrong - well ... the next day
I found that 10 minutes effected 7 people and made many
people HATE me ... And honestly got things twisted around!
When I mention that:"I knew here brothers girlfriend 'Suzy',
heck I just seen her HERE yesterday along with so-and-so . . ."
THAT's where I messed up unbeknownst to me
My friend 'Suzy and 'so & so' had a history,
I found (after the fact) that they were having an affair.
Back when I seen them together years ago ...
I honestly thought they were boss & employee
(friends) who hung out? Never picking up on the 'fling'
So, here I got things twisted by accident.
Hurting both Suzy & Will
(which they broke up)
The sister and Suzy hated each other now
then so & so's WIFE was harrassing all the parties ...
And end result - all but the brother was HATING me ...
Talk about twisted
Yikes!
So any thing twisted you want to share?
I learn that day that innocent conversation defiantly can get twisted
 
Today comment has been used 3 other times
It has a couple of my own photo manipulations - I removed others.
I've changed a couple things each time, trying to keep it fresh?
One of the photo's that I always
have to replace - because photobucket deletes.
It's the Titty twister one ...
Seems it's a little TOO naughty for them???
Funny, Drugs or HATE items are never flagged?
Something's I wont pretend to understand!
My music selection "Twisted Sister" classic "I wanna Rock"
Mostly chosen for the bands name
(keeping it as 'themed' as possible)
I also never could chose which
of the "Headers" (Headline) styles
to use ... So I just left them both?
eh, just me being twisted
Well my twisted friend I hope you are well.
And this blog & my greeting was not too twisted
I'll leave you now with said twisted blog greeting:

Memorial Day ... Knowing that I have readers
That are not American & surely don't understand
our holidays - I apologies for all my patriotic flare.
I assure you that my Blog wont be "all American" theme
But as you see - It does have a look of one!
Believe me, there's plenty of our countrymen
who only observe the day as an extended
weekend day - most excellent way of kicking
off the summer season with a good ole "Cook Out"
Wanting to cover all my bases (entertainment wise)
I'm trying to keep my theme that of "Family Time"
as the Mary J song at top alludes towards
And since everyone is not a R&B fan -
I also included a real "classic" to jar
some childhood thoughts of picnic's!
I dont want to try to "hypnotize" you to either thing ...
The American thing -nor- the music ...
You are getting sleeppp-peeeee
*snickers*
I's really about that timeless tradition:
The Cookout,
Or a "Bar-Bee-Que (bbq) for those
who don't do the phonics ... lol
Firing up the grill to do some Grillin'
A good old fashion cookout dates back to
when it wasn't done as an accessory but necessity.
Either way you look at it or whatever you call it ...
It's a GREAT way to either prepare or even burn
some food with hopefully, those you enjoy spending time with
  
Cooking out doors seems to enhance the flavor of the food
or perhaps its just the ambiance or the surroundings?
I believe it's the experience as a whole including the company.
Some folks make grilling a cultural affair when selecting
what to grill, be it the American Hamburgers & hot dogs
or a big juicy steak - authentic items as links or various chicken
Which brings me to my:
 
What's you favorite 'grill' item
I would love to hear some "different" things
I want to try some new things to grill this summer ...
So if you have an original or untradisional item that
you like to slap on the hot coals, let me know!
Oh - and I like CHARCOAL - not a fan of gas grills
Gas is very convenient, but takes away
from the favor and experience in my educated opinion.
Ribs are a grilling item that everyone seems
to have different idea's on HOW they should be made.
I seen people take great lengths in there BBQ ribs
Oh & their BEANS to serve with said BBQ ribs
I enjoy grilling my corn on the cob (in their silks)
which some people find strange, but until you try em'
  
So my grillmasters ... tell me your secrets!
Enlighten me with you grilling ways ...
and help make one of my next meals
be all tasty & relish with you in thought!
If you have a certain item,
what's the "Must Have" side dish?
I await your culinary knowledge!
I've remade today's comment a couple
different ways - each time it's the same results
- just things CAN & DO go from bad to worst
and for some reason MONDAYS
Is when it usually happens to some!
  
From the Alarm not going off
To the "Coffee Incident" a bit later
to that little 'fender bender' that makes
you even later than you already were . . .
(or that @#%^*! ticket you got for speeding)
I believe this is about the 3rd time
I've posted this on your profile - It has a lot
of my own drawings & penmanship on it.
I always enjoy the MONDAY gone bad theme
but as you may already know. I actually like Monday's.
So I hope this MONDAY finds you without any
of the aforementioned stubbed toe or peskiness
But one of delightful events & if included in
the extended holiday weekend - that the extra
day was spent doing what pleases you.
 
After All That?
I got to the place and found a sign: Sorry were 'CLOSED' for the Holiday! {So I hope YOUR day was better} |

 aturday is progressing well
on my end of the screen,
I hope this finds everything
the same on your side as well.
Turning out to be nice weather
Here in my home state (Ohio)
And even calls for temperatures
warm enough to go swimming
Although I don't think the waters
had a chance to warm up enough
Lexy and I took my dog
for a long walk this morning
Funny - my dog is like a rock star ...
Little kids see those little legs
and long body and just want to
pet her ... and even though she's
getting older, She'll let "CHILDREN"
pet her - Adults she's not too crazy for.
What about YOU ...
Do you like adults? (teasing)
Nah, I've mentioned my pets before
and I've talked to some folks here that
have pets ... Rabbits & even Lizards ...
o, What's your pet?
If you don't own one now ...
What kind would you like to have?
Names ...
Age ...
Interesting tail O0ps
TALE to tell?
Like I've mentioned before:
I've got my wiener dog Sassy
she's my 3rd wiener I've had
10 years old and very human like.
I also have a cat snowball 8 years old
Pure white with long hair and I swear ...
Her whiskers are as wide as she is long.
No fish, and recently a mouse that wasn't invited!
(disappeared - but the cats not talkin')
How about you?
Got a fat cat or an old dog
Anda has a bunny I know,
How about a favorite childhood pet?
aturdays Greeting was a
remake that I posted once, but used parts
of on many other comments before.
Wasn't much done to it from last time
but added the hearts from "Rock You"
I took a couple of graphics and made
them smaller and add background & borders.
My song choice was a classic
"Saturday Night Special" by the
Southern Rock legions "Lynyrd Skynyrd"
So, I'll leave you now ...
I hope my computer
allows me to send this
and "IT" finds you -
Hoping you enjoy "IT"
As well as this:

Hello again ...
I'm really 'swinging'
up and down here
So, this will be
a rather short blog.
Actually no beating
around the bush
Here's today's question:
Are you moody
Those who's been
coming to my blogs
awhile know I'm a
un-medicated bipolar.
So that answers
my part - I 'deal'
with it as best
that I can.
So, somewhat rhetorical
but feel free to comment.
My video is Pink Floyd
Sync to the wizard of oz ...
I mentioned that awhile ago
and bumped into it - so I used it.
That's it for today, see you tomorrow
I leave you with today's comment:
nother late post ...
Seems I'm running late on
a lot of things here lately.
I'm the type of guy who likes
to be early for everything!
So - these late postings
here - drive me NUTS!
It actually freaks me out
when I'm running late ...
(as in going to only be a few minute early)
n time - to me - IS LATE!
Knowing that, I cant believe that
people (friends of mine) used to WANT
to come and work for me?
(because I'm mean about those things)
eah, I'm a "punctual" person
Cant figure out why either ...
My folks never seemed to care
what time things were done.
But me ... I like to be early,
even in school - I show up early ...
(At that time) it was to sell joints
but still early! (lol) Which leads into: 
re you a "on time" person?
Runs a little late person?
Or (tisk-tisk) probably going to be late for your own funeral type?
o you TRY being on time or no?
I often wondered why some people
are the "running late" types
on the schedule everyday and yet
never adjust their time accordingly? 
oday's comment was run one other time -
around the first of the year.
I believe it was my first
'colored' background I used.
Cat nap
Dig in for some work
(Just dont get buried in it!)
Play or whatever - As long as the
Cat dont get your tongue!
(otherwords come say "HI")
he weekend has
made it's way back and
I'm not going to fight it's arrival
It's always welcome around!
As are YOU... Always welcome!
Hello again Glad to see
you've returned for another
sometimes meaningless
but ALWAYS colorful
addition of my BLOG!
apologize for my
lateness of today's addition
but at least my tardiness
gave me something to write about:
(Yes Meaningful for once!)
I rarely devote a whole section
of my writing to a friend from
the site, although YOU and my
readers ALL deserve promotion
and praise for different things.
I don't allow my time in life
to be occupied unnecessarily
by people who are nasty &
hateful and mean spirited.
Instead I keep life more positive
by having folks like YOU share
little pieces of my life & enrich it
Just by WHO you are and how you act ...
Not by what you can do for me
-BUT- how you are with people.
ell my friend CHRISTINE
is one of the rare gems that
if you ever are lucky enough
to run across someone who
is genuine & sincere as her ...
Then count your blessings!
So, this sweet gal - going
threw tough times, never
withdrew but kept her chin
up and wouldn't quit on anything.
nd I'm proud to call her
my friend and at this time
offer you a chance to meet
a special person ... you wont
regret it! I never guarantee much
But I'd bet the bank on her!
Please go say HI and wish her well?
lease feel free to post their link ...
In case you didn't know -
One of my "things" I love to do
is have some great (like YOU)
people met each other.
- 
usic videos for today?
Well I wanted the 1977 "FRIDAY" song
but ran into the animated video &
thought it was cool too - With the
disco song not having any video
I thought I post both songs - gives
your options for music to scroll to!
So Enjoy your weekend,
Be sure to say HI to Christine!
See you next time!
Whatever twist you have in mind ...

Seems fitting that it's my Topic for Discussion ...
I've been experiencing computer issues for months
and each time I fix something -or- think I fixed something
It's either not what was wrong or something else GOES wrong!
My RL is in shambles - but, thats not my issue -lol -
It's because its so screwed up and outta control -
That my salvation is by taking a break from said RL things,
Is to relax in the cyber world -here- at the fu Fubar!
So with my escape from reality becoming
a bigger pain than my real life ...
What IS a man to do?
What would you be doing -If- you didnt have a computer
I ask myself that - because all those years
that I spent in a bar 'during down time' (lol)
My barstool was replaced by this chair I'm on now.
I fight with myself every time I look down
and see a 'keg' that's replaced my 6 pack
-lol-
And as I have that internal dialog - I sit down
and turn on the computer to 'research' why ...
I'm starting to worry that I might
very well have to find a new hobbie - anyway
Not that I'd want to - but being unemployed for
much longer it's not the cable (Internet) bill
But the ELECTRIC bill I'll have to worry about!
lol
So giving it thought on WHAT I'd do without my computer ...
I think I'd do more ART or maybe writing or a combination of both
Writing a drawing book? I was thinking about that a lot before.
Then I heard that there really isn't much of a market for them
And finding a publisher for one is damn near impossible ...
another dream crushed by the harshness of reality!
So what do you think YOU would be doing
with the time that you spend on your computer now?
Would you start a NEW hobbie?
Rekindle and OLD hobbie or passion?
Just give TV another chance maybe?
Today's comment was made last night.
I was looking threw my older Tuesday comments to
see if I could find one to re-make and send/post to YOU.
When I realized that 98% of my Tuesday
Comments are TUESDAY TRAIN related.
Which are NOW going to be monthly.
So I thought I'd make something new.
But my computers not cooperating, so
I ran across the computer graphics & just
whipped something together rather quickly.
When I finished the formatting of it (adding the background)
I thought I'd personalize each post - and wanted
to make YOU a personal graphic (that you could save)
Once again my computer wasnt going to have it!
When I found the site that allowed me to make some
neat 3-d stuff complete with special effect and animation.
and I didnt have to upload a bunch - I was ecstatic !!!
Until I made a couple of MINE for practice ...
Noticed that the 'watermarks'* dont disappear,
Kinda threw that plan out the window too!
*(see examples here)
Believe me, if I had the 50.00 bucks to BUY
that program I would - but then again ...
I'd NEVER get any sleep!
So here's my "gift-less" but still thought of you comment:
