My New Arrival!

2008-10-25T14:25:00.004-07:00

Well, it has been a hectic week with the arrival of my new little friend.

Her name is Arista, and she is 7 months old now.

This is a picture of Arista in the middle, and Sophie, her sister is on the right..(The little one)

She is an AKC registered Papillon, often called the "Butterfly dog", because of the ears sticking up almost from birth. Papillion is French for butterfly also! This little pup is 7 months old, and weighs a big whopping 5.5 pounds. However, if you would like her to jump, she can jump a big whopping 6 feet, sometimes reminding me of a jumping jack. Although, you really need to watch their jumping, so they don't hurt themselves. By the breeder she was called Bonnie's girl, or Baby Doll, but I renamed her Arista, meaning "the best" in Greek. Papillons are very easy to teach, and they learn very quickly. Basically they behave very well, and have a great personality. They are also somewhat clown-like.

I already have a Hybrid Chinese Crested Powder puff/Papillon. The two seem to get along very well, even though both are females. But, they both always seem to fighting to be the dominant one. Sasha, my other dog is now about 2 years old, and weights about 7 pounds.

This is Sasha after her very first clip

It is important to have a very good breeder if you would like to buy a well bred Papillon, so some of the prices are quick high. The breeder I used is a member of the AKC, and a well known Breeder here in AZ. Here is some information about this Breeder:

AZ Skidmore's Papillons Puppies Available! Males & females. AKC. Champion bloodlines. Show & pet quality. Tri & sable colors. Sometimes tiny. From Skoor, Kenmar, Cadoga and Glenmary lines. Call for more information & availability. Visit website: http://www.valspaps.com Arizona
Valerie Skidmore (480) 391-1593 / Email: vals_paps@lycos.com

Valerie just had two litters of different colors, which will be ready for a very nice Christmas present for your family, or yourself. Normally, her females go for about $1200 and the males $1000, however the best way to find out about them is to call her, or you can even email her. The great thing about buying a dog from Valerie is you can always call her if you have problems or questions about your new baby. She also is great about making sure you are satisfied about your choice of a new pup. If you would like a perfect pup, you would not be dissatisfied with one of hers.

These are Lillie's new babies. (If you click on the pictures, it will bring you to all the available dogs Valerie has.)

These are Penny's pups, and the same prices $1200 for female, and $1000 for a male

Now, if you go to the website on Webshots you will see some other dogs which are older, and they are less money than the brand new pups, accept for one female called Sophie who is $2500 because she is a teacup. There are also some Corgi/Papillon mix pups for sale and the females are $600, and the males are $400-$500. Below is two different pictures of them...they are quite cute if you can't afford a purebred Papillon. Just a note, all of the Skidmore pups, and adult dogs are AKC registered, with champion bloodlines.

Marti's pups are Corgi/Papillon Mix. Two males on left, Two females on right born 7/31/08
Prices for these pups are $600 for a female, and $550 for a male. This is a friend of Valerie's that is selling these pups.

Marti's Papillon-Corgi Mix born July 31, 2008.

So if you might be interested in buying a Papillon, give Valerie Skidmore a call at (480) 391-1593 and talk to her about her dogs. If you might be interested in the Corgi/Papillion mixes please also call the same number. She will be able to answer any questions you may have, and if you want an older dog then she can give you a quote on them also....All of them have been hand raised, and socialized.

Why Do I Feel This Way?

2008-09-14T11:52:00.002-07:00

Sometimes there is a reason for feeling crummy, but when there isn't what do you do? What do you do when you feel sad, and nothing seems right? What happened to that courage that I had, but now is gone? I ask myself all these questions, because I am feeling sad, and am not sure as to why. It seems I don't feel like doing anything, blogging, digging, writing, playing games, nothing! I could just say I have 'writer's block', and call it quits for awhile. I do watch a lot of movies, however I have seen so many, one is running into the other...in other words, I forgot what I saw to begin with.

Yes, DO SOMETHING!! Okay, what? Well, I am asking myself what to do, and really should know...BUT....sometimes when your feeling sad, you forget all those wonderful things you do to get yourself out of a "slump". Hmm, yes a SLUMP...what is that? I think we all have been there, but where is there? *Check out this video below, at least I haven't lost my scense of humor.*

From MadTV called "My Slump"

Some of my other blogger friends handle their own slumps a certain ways, maybe I should ask for some advice. Kelly who writes the blog: "What This Song Means To Me...", has this great post named "Three Ways To Banish Negative Energy". She uses music to make herself feel better, this seems to be reasonable. Mike who writes the blog: "livelife365" which is about "Healthy Living Personal Development Entertainment Every Day Every Way". He wrote a post called: Just Do It? Ten Tips to Get You Started. This also is a great post to read when your feeling down and out. Another person, Dr. Rob has a blog called: Rob’s Megaphone which has to do with "Where laughter, fun, and writing intersect." Dr. Rob uses laughter to keep himself, and his readers from the slumps. (I just noticed he awarded me with an award, which I will check back later on. Thanks Rob!) Although there are many more, the last person I am going to mention here, is someone we fondly call 'Da Old Man', his blog is called: Crotchety Old Man Yells At Cars. He also uses humor like Dr.Rob! As you see, all my friends have their own way of keeping themself from going under, so what is wrong with me?

I guess I am reaching out here, and wondering if there is anyone out there that can help me figure this out. I should be able to do it myself, and not need help. However, I believe there comes a time when we ALL need some help. So here I am asking please........

HELP

The Night In A Haunted Cemetery!

2008-08-25T10:00:00.001-07:00

Just a small bet between friends became the fright night of our lives. A small group of teens decided to make a bet with their four friends to spend the night at a known haunted cemetery. The bet wasn't for much, but to us $20 was a big chunk in our pockets, so we accepted, thinking it couldn't be that bad. I was one of those four. We made up some excuses for our parents so they wouldn't think anything of us spending the night out.

About 6PM as the sun was setting, the four of us wandered to the cemetery. We all were full of pride, because we kept thinking nothing bad will happen to any of us. We all started to look for a place to spend the night. A nice tree would be nice, and we all had sleeping bags, food to eat for the night, flashlights, and etc. We were full of excitement as night headed in. We didn't really believe all the hype about the cemetery being haunted. We finally found a nice place to settle down for the night, and with just a short bit of sunlight left, we were able to set everything up.

As night fell, in the distance we could hear an owl hooting, which sounded rather eerie, as the moonlight cast weird shadows upon the headstones of the graves. We had been told that we had to walk through the graveyard during the night, that we just couldn't sit there. So off we went walking from one grave to another. We still weren't scared, however the eeriness of the night was rather somewhat ominous. All of a sudden we heard this very loud screeching sound, and all of us jumped as it was a bone chilling noise. We found out later it was the owl we had heard earlier, and he been frightened by something.

We saw a white figure floating above one of the headstones, and we wanted to get closer if we could to see what it was. As we got closer, the figure seem to turn and stare at all of us for a moment, then sort of floated away. What was strange is we weren't able to distinguish if it was a male or female, it certainly wasn't a person.

It was definitely a ghost or spirit! I think we were more curious than scared at this point till it started to swoop down on us, and screeching this terrible ear piercing sound. What a horrid noise, it sounded like this thing was in agony. It continued the swooping down upon us, and screeching as if to tell us something, however we were too scared to think about what it might want. We all seemed to be just standing there, like a 'deer stuck in the headlights of a car'. That is called the flight or fright syndrome. It reached down and grabbed one of our shoulders, and then we started to run.

We ran, and ran...finally getting back to our sleeping area. Well, you do realize that no one was going to sleep on this night, we would be just happy when the night finally passed. The ghost did not follow us, however, it kept on screeching those horrid screams. I began to wonder if somehow it was in some kind of pain. It is quite curious to think spirits or ghosts can even feel pain.

Well we decided to lie down and try to rest, since we had time ahead of us before we could leave, and some already wanted to leave. We heard other eerie noises in the night, some were the owls there, others sounds were hard to distinguish what they were, although they certainly were unsettling. Time was passing, and soon the sun would be up, and we could leave. We did keep hearing the sounds of the ghost we saw earlier, but it didn't come back near us. We were happy about that one for sure! I think we all must have fallen asleep because of a sudden it was morning, and we all could go now. WE HAD WON THE BET!!

How Do We STOP The Harassment And Cyberbullying Of Bloggers By Some Shifty Characters.

2008-07-27T11:03:00.000-07:00

Lately there have been some certain characters from twitter that are getting off by harassing other bloggers, and some companies. Some of this is done on Twitter, and some is done on Friendfeed. Several people have been targeted, and now I have been one also. It seems that Amanda Chapel from Strumpette is attacking me on twitter. A number of people do not believe that Amanda Chapel exists, but in fact is a man named Brian Connolly also from Stumpette. Amanda Chapel has been harassing a friend of mine by the name of Igor Berger, or Igor the Troll forever because she has in her head that he is promoting porn, which he is not. I finally got fed up with her mouth and said something to Amanda. Igor is not the only person that she has chosen to pick on, there have been many.

I would like to show you one of the conversations that Amanda had with me on Twitter. Just take a look at the Twitter feed between Amanda and I. She/he is nothing but a Cyberbully to many bloggers, and companies. She is an Internet Troll! She claims she is a woman, but many have found out that she is not, that she is actually a personification of Brian Connolly. We don't need these Cyberbullies in Social Media. Igor made a video with panties on his head saying he was Amanda Chapel, and Amanda tried to tell me that this was porn, and was very disturbed by his video on YouTube. If Amanda can use her panties as her avatar, I guess Igor can put his wife's panties on his head and make fun of her. Oh. you never seen a guy with panties on his head, well I have, and normally they may have a reason to do so as Igor does.

Igor's Rendition of Amanda's Pantie's Avatar

Amanda Chapel's Avatar From Twitter

I think that the only reason he made this, is because she is trolling Igor all the time, and accusing him of things he never did, or would do. She continues to accuse him of being a pornographer, which he isn't. Just because Igor coins himself as "Igor the Troll", doesn't make him one. I believe he also did this, because Amanda Chapel, uses a avatar of a woman with just panties on for Twitter. She/he is now accusing Igor of hiding behind me, as she calls me a "Bedridden Paraplegic Paranormalist Porn Beard", and yes I am bedridden. That didn't make me as angry as another thing she said to me from Twitter:

@SkyeWolfie If you think Igortheperv's porn is funny http://tinyurl.com/6xs4wu , your a sick fuck, too.
12:45 PM July 20, 2008 from web in reply to SkyeWolfie

I am not the only blogger that has written about this Cyberbully, one person I found was Jeff Jarvis from Buzz Machine, who wrote a post called "Fake breasts"

What interests me is why someone goes to all this trouble to troll. What’s the agenda? Who’s the real target? If this were terribly sophisticated it could be an effort to spoof and ridicule bloggers or PR people. Naw. It could, indeed, be performance art or a book proposal: How I fooled those damned bloggers. It could be someone who hates PR people trying to make them look bad. It could be a case of missing some meds (or secretly longing for a sex-change operation). It could be a vast PR conspiracy to say what PR people have to be too polite to say — after all, Amanda, Chris the alleged intern, and this guy Connolly all hail from Chicago. Coincidence? Yeah. I don’t believe in conspiracy theories; the world’s not that organized. I think this is simpler: Amanda has a hard-on for Edelman. “She” attacked Steve Rubel when he joined them; she went after me only after Richard Edelman defended me against Chris the alleged intern. I have a suspicion that Amanda lost a few clients or a job to Edelman. Who cares?

There are just so many more that have written things about Amanda Chapel and Brian Connolly. I am not sure I would have said anything to her at all, accept for the fact she continued to harrass my friends. I continued because she continued to call me names, which she herself is guilty of accept for being bedridden.

Igor has a Room at FriendFeed, which is call "Igor the Troll" Room, and there are two feeds that I would love for you to take a look at: One is called, "Who-Is-Strumpette", and the other is called, "Amandachapel-How-Dare-You-Call-Me-What-You-Are". I really would appreciate it if you would please read both of these feeds, and let me know how you feel about this, either by commenting here, or on FriendFeed.

Since Amanda calls me a Paranormalist, I just thought I would search for a way to stop her harrassing my friends on Twitter. Low and behold, I found some spells from the Wiccans. I have decided to throw in a few for those who feel they may need these against Cyberbullies! Oh, sorry some may ask what is a Wiccan? A Wiccan is someone who practices the religion of Wicca.

Wicca is a pagan, nature-based religion popularised in 1954 by Gerald Gardner, a retired British civil servant, who at the time called it Witchcraft and its adherents "the Wica". He said that the religion, of which he was an initiate, was a modern survival of an old witchcraft religion which had existed in secret for hundreds of years, originating in the pre-Christian paganism of Europe. The veracity of Gardner's statements cannot be independently proven, however, and it is possible that Wiccan theology began to be compiled no earlier than the 1920s.

They use different spells during ceremonies for certain things, and I have found some to bind a person from their harrassment which I am going to put a few here:

A SPELL TO BIND BULLIES You Need: 3 black candles black thread one black pen a piece of paper an empty glass jar This spell will not hurt your bully, it will just make them leave you alone. Do this spell at midnight on a Saturday of a waning moon (a period of time between a full moon and a new moon, the light is decreasing. The opposite is the waxing moon, when the moon is moving from a new moon to a full). Set the candles in a big triangle shape, big enough so that you can sit in the middle. Light the candles. Write the bully's name on the paper, and draw an "X" over it. Fold it three times. Say: "I bind you (say their name) so that you cannot hurt me anymore, both physically, and emotionally. Get out of my life, leave me alone. I bind you (say name) I bind you." Then tie the thread around the folded paper, and pop it in the jar. Screw on the lid. Snuff out the candles (never, NEVER blow out candles after a spell, it pushes the magick away). The next day, bury the jar off you property, or you can hide it in a closet where it will not be found. If the black candles you used are small enough, you can put them in the jar (do this at the end of the spell, not after you have screwed the lid on). If not, burn them later until there is nothing left of them.

BINDING Get a large white candle, the kind that drips wax, and set it up on a tray. Affix to it a photograph or other image of the person you wish to bind. Make a ring of sea salt around it. Make a second ring with protective herbs. Fill the rest of the tray with images that represent what you are binding the person from: pictures of your family, keys to your house, legal documents, whatever. If the problem is too complex for images, write what the person is bound from on slips of paper and place them around the candle. Papyrus, or paper made from cotton or linen work best for this. Use red ink if you are angry, purple ink if you are sad. Wrap the candle and the image with black thread (linen, if possible). Invoke Isis and Linda, the Binder With Linen Thread. Say out loud what you are binding the person from. Light the candle and leave it burn until the wax begins to drip over the thread and image. Burn it every day for a week, until the image is thick with wax. Use this as a meditation device to direct your will to binding the person.

To Banish Slander, Libel Or False AccusationsYou Will Need: white paper red pen powdered Cloves (about ½ cup) a small bowl or short glass a censure charcoal On a small piece of the white paper with the red pen, right the name of your accuser or libeller BACKWARDS, nine times, in a list. Roll up this piece of paper very small and place in the small bowl, then pour the powdered cloves over top. The paper should be completely covered.
Every morning and evening for seven days, take a pinch of the cloves and burn them (be careful not to uncover the paper), inhaling and watching the smoke while envisioning and meditating on the accusations or libel against you or your loved one also "going up in smoke." Start your morning this way, end your day this way.
On the seventh night, burn all of the remaining cloves and the paper with the writing on it. Feel that the libel and slander is done, that no one will believe these false statements and that it has all turned to ashes for the one against you.
When the ashes have cooled, dispose of them in living water, a river, stream, lake, the ocean. If you do not have a source of living water near you, down the drain works in a pinch. Remember to always know that you are telling the truth, and the truth will prevail.

Well I hope this may help some, and if anyone decides to try one of these, let me know please. None of us need Cyberbullies after us everyday. And let me tell you Amanda Chapel is quite capable of showing her true colors as many of you already know. I don't know Amanda, but you may be sorry you ever decided to call me a Paranormalist. You should not make fun of someone who studies the paranormal....YOU WILL LEARN!

The White Ghostly Figure Floating Over!

2008-07-05T11:50:00.001-07:00

When I was younger my older brother and I used to fight over who spent the weekend at our grandmother's. We were supposed to take turns, but that never worked. This one particular weekend, we both got to stay there. Our grandmother and grandfather decided to try both of us at one time, they weren't sure that would work or not. For the most part it did work out, however since both of us were there, we decided to see what we could get into or what we could do to have some fun.

Our grandparents lived on a short road at the very end of the road. However, there was a short dirt road past their house, and at the end there was an old broken down house. We decided to go down there exploring to find what ever it was we could find. The house appeared to be falling down, and we should have been worried that we may fall through the floors, but we were just kids. The picture above is really a good replicate of what the house looked like to us.

This inside of the house kind of looked like this picture, as it hadn't been lived in for a very long time. My brother and I walked around inspecting everything there. Being kids, it was it was quite an exciting find....all the old things sitting around. We decided to split up, and check out the different rooms. So my brother went to one room, and I went to the another room. I was looking through an old desk, and found some old papers, a newspaper, and some other stuff.

We had left early in the afternoon, but it was started to get later, and the sun had started to go down. All of a sudden, my brother let out this blood curdling scream, and went running to where he was. His foot had gone through the floor, and he was stuck, however, he seemed so scared, and told me he had seen something. He could hardly talk, and I really didn't believe him at all....He was always pulling stuff on me. He told me about a ghostly white figure that was moving through the room like she was floating across it. While he was talking a mile a minute, I was trying to help him pull his foot out of the floor. His face was as white as a sheet, but I just thought that was because he got his foot caught.

The room that he was in, seemed to be an old living room, or parlor, it was hard to tell. I looked around, and noticed a mirror on the wall. It was quite old, and had some cracks in it, but what really frightened the living crap out of me, as I looked at it, I swear I saw a man's face starring at me. As I moved around a bit, his eyes seem to follow me, and I was terrified, and wanted out. But my brother's foot was still stuck in the floor, so I needed to help him, and it was getting darker outside. Our grandparents by this time were probably wondering where we were. I tried not to look at the mirror at all, to get my brother's foot out. Then over my head, was the ghostly white figure of a woman, that my brother said he saw. She was just floating above me, like she was wondering what I was doing. I wanted to run!! But I couldn't leave my brother. My brother was just wiggling trying to get his foot out, and sitting there as white as a sheet, and he started whimpering.

This figure was of a woman, and in her hand she was holding what looked like some dead flowers. She was wearing a white gown, and her face was wrinkled with furrows. She appeared extremely sad. She appeared to be wanting to make sounds, or was trying to make sounds. I was terrified! I started to hear the shattering of glass from another room, and began really pulling on my brother's foot. I wanted out!! Finally, his foot came loose, and I asked him if he could run. Before I almost got the words out of my mouth, he was up and running through the house towards the door.

We both ran down the dirt road towards our grandparents house, and finally made it. As we ran into the house, they both were asking where we were, and we were telling them what happened, however, of course, they didn't believe a word of it. We were just a couple of kids trying not to get into trouble for being gone so long. That was the last time that both of us got to stay at our grandparents together over the weekend. After that, we had to take turns on the weekends. Neither one of us never set foot in that house ever again. I think later, someone bought the land, and tore it down.

I Am Possessed! A Poltergeist Has Invaded My Soul!

2008-06-30T11:59:00.006-07:00

Skye B. says, "I am Possessed! The poltergeist has invaded my soul! Call the Exorcist to bring Holy waters and rid of me of the beast!" HELP!!!The Beast has been released!

This story needs to be told chronologically. We are going to take a look at why someone would one minute be fine, and the next minute become like the Beast! First of all, I was asked to Digg a particular story. The story's name was: Ferris Bueller Wannabe Faces 38 Years - Changing His Grades I dugg the story, then made a comment, which someone promptly made a very negative remark:

SkyeWolfie +74 diggs
on 06/20/2008 Dugg by friends: igorthetroll
That is a bit excessive, 38 years in jail for an 18 year old just for changing grades! My cousin just sat here and told me how she changed her grades when she was a kid, and all she got was punishment from her Aunt.

My sister's boys decided to counterfeit some money off the computer when they were younger, and even though my sister had a house full of FBI agents, they let the boys go with a very stiff warning.

This boy should have just got a stiff warning too, what did he really hurt nothing but himself.

This is an injustice of Human Rights!! (This was my comment.)

Lies, lies lies. If anyone were to be investigating counterfeit money, it'd be the Secret Service. Get your facts straight before trying to improve you Internet ego.
xptweakerntn
Block User
Comment buried! (This was the remark to me.)

I was not lying, nor was I looking for any kind of Ego trip nor trying to improve my Internet Ego! Well this really upset me, and I went on the defensive. I am thinking my comment wasn't that bad, what the heck! Damn these Internet Trolls!!

In the meantime, a good friend had written a post named: "Japanese Women Vanity". He had made a video "as a social experiment to dissect female sexuality in Japan." After writing my comment to his post, I decided to hunt for a video that may fit female sexuality in Japan to put on his FriendFeed Room, "Igor The Troll: All Social Media Trolls are Welcome", that I am a member of. This is the video I put on FriendFeed:

This video may not be suitable for all ages.

Well, I decided to go back after a bit, to see if anyone commented on my video. There were two comments after my video that I posted, and I immediately got very defensive. My anger flared up, and I responded to that person on Twitter.com, with a comment that I just wouldn't post any more...I became the Beast!!! What I did, is totally misunderstood the person that wrote the comment.

Take a look at this post, I have a few pictures of Japanese hostesses http://www.travelinasia.net/fo... Yes, Japan use to be very open to sexuality in tis history, but it got some negative brainwashing from the West.Now Japanese women just play attention game! Lead men on but no Sex. Is is some kind of power ego trip? Some sort of sadism? Anyway thanks for sharing. - Igor The Troll

WOW!! Something hit me right between the eyes, and I am not sure what. BUT, boy was I angry, and upset! I guess the psych damage that the Digg Trolls did on me got into my brain, and told me that Igor was saying that I was on some kind of power ego trip, and into sadism, because this was my response to him on Twitter:

Hey Igor, I didn't put that video in there to offend anyone, was looking for Japan's sexuality, and don't know enough about Japan. 09:14 AM June 22, 2008.

Also, I am on NO Ego trip, nor a sadist.........damn I guess I just won't post anything anymore!!!...terrible thing to call me.............. 09:16 AM June 22, 2008.

You have to realize that Igor and I have been friends for quite awhile, and for me to come off on him like this, something had to be in my head, and it wasn't good. Igor was not calling me these things, he was referring to the video, and whoever made the video. Okay, where is the psychiatrist's couch? :) LOL!! You may ask, what in the world made me respond like this, when I don't even really know. Sometimes it is really funny how we respond to someone that is not trying to hurt us, but it is just because some idiot decided to attack me on Digg. That is why I called them the Digg Trolls, which really is just a derogatory name for people who leave nasty comments to others and try to upset the whole channel of how the comments might be going.

The Internet Troll having his fun for the day!

So the Poltergeist invaded my very soul till I turned into that Beast. I actually told Igor that it wasn't a Beast, it was my alter ego that had consumed me....that it was another personality. He responded with this, repeating part of what I had said to him: ""No, didn't you know, that is my alter ego, or other personality, lmao!" Fascinating juxtapose Poltergeist has invaded you soul to alter ego! Wow nice stuff!" I think we could do some analysis on this, and ask why this actually all happened to my ego? Now really, what would Freud say? The psycho-analytic concept of Sigmund Freud is the ego, super-ego, and id.

Id, ego, and super-ego are the three parts of the "psychic apparatus" defined in Freud's so-called structural model of the psyche; they are the three theoretical constructs in terms of whose activity and interaction mental life is described. According to this model, the uncoordinated instinctual trends are the "id"; the organised realistic part of the psyche is the "ego," and the critical and moralizing function the "super-ego."

Oh well, we probably don't want to hear about all this, to much goblygook. Lets just leave it this way, something came over me and took over my brain so I reacted this way.

Another Near-Death Experience!

Some of you may have read my post: "As I Neared Death, The Experience Of My Life", well this is another story, which happened long ago.

Here how the story goes, I was living in an apartment with a roommate, which I didn't know at first, but he was extremely psychological unbalanced. As time went on I began to realize just how sick he was, as he pulled all kinds of things. One of those, was throwing me around the apartment, and up against walls. As time went on, things became worse, and one day he threw me up against an old hook on the wall, and I hit the back of my head, knocking me out. It was time for me to move out, and find another place to live. You would have thought I would have done it before, but part was fear, and the other part was I wasn't sure where to go. He had told me if I left him, he would kill me, and my feeling was that yes, he would definitely try.

My job became in jeopardy, because of his constant calling, and asking me what I was doing. He was going to school at night getting his masters, so was home most of the day, doing not much of anything, It seemed the more he sat and did mostly nothing, the more he became angry. So when I did eventually get home from work he was angry over really nothing, and started right in again. There were arguments over mostly nothing, and he didn't like anything I did. The tension was building between us, and I wanted him to move out, but if I mentioned anything he would just explode. I was in an abusive situation, and just didn't know what to do about it, or where to go, because I knew he would follow me wherever I went. He had also told me that he would kill me, and I believed him. Actually, he had tried a few times when throwing me around up against the walls.

Well, one day was what I would call the end, and almost the end of my life. This day he was particularly angry for some reason, and asking me to do things that I found unreasonable. I was lying on the bed watching TV after a long day at work, and all of a sudden he jumped me, and started choking me. His hands were around my neck, and I soon realized that he was choking the life out of me. I was fading quickly.

It felt like I was drowning, but I also had a very comfortable feeling come over me, or a feeling of euphoria swept over my body. I knew I was dying, and wondered how I was going to get out of this, because this person wasn't letting go. And, at this point I couldn't even scream anymore, which I had been doing. All of a sudden I felt my body floating in mid air it seemed. I was looking around, and then looked down, and could see my body limply lying there. His hands were still around my neck, and I could see my face, and the back of his head. My eyes were closed, and I seemed to be gone. I looked around the apartment, and everything seemed to be in the same place, however, there was a bright round ball of light towards the ceiling over my shoulder to the right. I kept looking at this, and wondering what it was. Time to me didn't seem to be moving at all....actually, I am not sure at this point how much time was going by. I also couldn't feel my body anymore, nor his hands tightening around my neck. Everything seemed to be standing still, as what I thought was my body was floating above my actual body.
The light was getting brighter, and also coming closer. I wanted to go towards it, it was beautiful. I floated somewhat near it, and started to look inside. I didn't see , or hear anything in there, but it was a wonderful feeling of warmth surrounding me. At this point I wasn't paying too much attention to what was happening to my body lying on the bed....time was still!

All of a sudden there was like a whoosh sound, and a feeling of being thrown back through the air. Something was pushing me back, and down towards the bed. It almost felt like a hand. It seem to tear at me, and it hurt. I was just above my body, underneath him, and looking around, I noticed that his hands were loosening from my neck for some reason. Slowly I entered my body again, and then I screamed. He shook his head, and let go of my neck then. He just fell back into a chair near the bed, and started crying like a baby. Other then my neck hurting quite a bit, I was fine. I have no idea how long this went on, but it couldn't have been that long, because I think if it was that long, I would have died.

As you might have guessed this was the last straw, and I finally did get away from him through the help of the Police. They took me to a place that could help me, after having me checked at the hospital. It also was a place that he would have no idea where I was there.

Is Westward Ho In Phoenix, AZ Haunted?

2008-06-09T14:29:00.014-07:00

There is a place in downtown Phoenix called Westward Ho, and one time is was a luxury hotel. Opened in 1928, it was the city's first high rise resort, where all the very important, and famous people gathered at. Marilyn Monroe actually rented the Penthouse, which was the 16th floor year round.

"When the Hotel Westward Ho opened in 1928, it instantly became a Phoenix landmark. As the city’s first high-rise resort, it symbolized all things lavish, swank, deluxe. Well-heeled locals and Hollywood stars roamed its hallways and ballrooms. Clarke Gable, Marilyn Monroe, Al Capone, and Martin Luther King were among the famous and infamous on the guest list.
By the 1970s, the Westward Ho had fallen into neglect. The property was purchased by a group of investors and eventually converted into a federally subsidized housing project. Today, the Westward Ho is home for disabled adults and low-income seniors. These residents may be less famous that their predecessors, but they’re no less colorful. Full of character, rich in history, rife with personality – all true of the Westward Ho itself and those who call it home.
- by Troy Aossey"

Underneath the Hotel was known to be a parking garage for the hotel, a bowling alley, and a few other things, however at some point this caved in, and most people from Phoenix know that Al Capone's car was caught under there. While looking for some information about the old hotel I found the Wikipedia had a page about it being under the National Register of Historic Places for the US.

"Westward Ho is a skyscraper located at 618 North Central Avenue in Phoenix, Arizona, formerly occupied by a hotel of the same name. When completed in 1927, the 208-foot (63 m) hotel was the tallest building in Arizona, a title it held until 1960.
The Westward Ho was one of the city's premier luxury hotels until it closed in 1979. In 1981, the sixteen-story building was converted to housing for senior citizens, and the building was thoroughly remodeled between 2003 and 2004 at a cost of over $8 million USD.

Contrary to popular belief, the Westward Ho does not appear in the opening sequence of Alfred Hitchcock's film Psycho. In the original, the camera zooms in on the downtown Hotel Jefferson, which still stands, although in modified form. In the Gus Van Sant 1998 remake of Psycho, the camera zooms into a window on the 8th floor of the Westward Ho. But when Marion Crane (Anne Heche) leaves the room, the number on the door is 514.
Westward Ho currently supports a large radio transmitter antenna, mounted asymmetrically, which reaches a height more than twice that of the building itself. The antenna was used by KPHO-TV from its 1949 sign-on until 1960 when KPHO moved its transmitter to South Mountain."

As far as the antenna, it is still used today. The residents of Westward Ho, are able to watch movies on a certain channel. They also are able to connect to that for cable, and Internet, which they have a very nice computer room for the residents there. Another reason the antenna wasn't moved was that because the building became part of the US National Register of Historic Places, therefore they had to leave the ugly antenna too.

The building itself is just a beautiful building, inside and out, and now very well taken care of, back in 1979 the hotel was closed, and it fell into disrepair until 1981 when it was bought, and "thoroughly remodeled between 2003 and 2004 at a cost of over $8 million USD." The hotel was remodeled to fit the needs of the senior citizens, and disabled. However many of the people who live there now see, and feel different things, and believe wholehearted that the building is in fact haunted by the former occupants of the luxury hotel. I actually got a taste of this myself, since I wanted to find out what the 16th floor looked like, so took the evaluator up there. They hadn't quite finished with the remodel up there, and there was no air conditioning there. It was the middle of the summer so very hot there, accept while standing there, I felt this freezing cold air blow through, and the curtains moved. For a place that was pretty stuffy, that was quite strange. I wanted out of there, I am no Ghost Hunter. As I peered down the old stairwell, I thought I saw a ghostly white figure floating near by.

Because of the architecture of this building, I thought I would add some really grand pictures of the inside of the building, and some of these have been restored to their original state.

If you look closely, there is gold leafing around the columns, and also the ceiling, however, they just painted over the gold, which was flaking off. Everything else is original from when they first built the building in the 1920's. The second pictures is just a different view of the same room, however, taken from the first stairwell. People who stayed here definitely lived in the lap of luxury. Another fact that is known by many of the residents today, is that Roy Rodgers stayed here, with his horse Trigger, and Trigger walked up the stairs to his room.
This is the original fountain, which is in the main room of the hotel as you walk in. Not too many people use this though, it is also said to be haunted.

There are two Touring places, that will take you on a Ghost Tour for a price: The Ghosts of Phoenix Tour and SpiritKeep Ghost Walks Or Tours:Hotel Westward Ho Ghosts Tour. The cost is $10.00 for adults and $5.00 for children 12 and under, and the Tour groups must be limited size of 30-40 guests. Now this is for "The Ghosts Of Phoenix Tour". They tell you this on their page to contact them, "Hear the stories about the famous Westward Ho building. Haunted sightings given to us from the residents that live there. The tour will give you historical information as well as a general knowledge of ghost hunting and paranormal investigations." You see it is today's residents that know all the stories, and have seen the different things, whether be day or night. The reason I know so much about Westward Ho, is my cousin lived there for awhile, and I stayed with her for a short period of time, seeing many things. I never did get any photos, which I do regret. Besides the different cold spots, I saw white silhouettes, orbs, and just figures standing there. Many residents have spoken about their apartments being haunted, and things happening in them. Mostly the sightings have been in the older part of the building, on the upper floors.

The Ghost Hunters have frequented the hotel, and bring all their equipment with them. There are two groups here in Arizona, know as the MVD Ghostchasers from Phoenix and Bisbee, AZ, and the second, the Arizona Paranormal Investigations, which the director has written a book entitled, "Sleeping with Ghosts!" by Debe Branning which is a guide of all guides to haunted hotels in Arizona. It kind of reminds me of Scooby Doo, and his group.

There are other hotels that are assumed to be haunted in Phoenix, and maybe I might write about another. I wrote about this one, because I have seen things for myself, and YES, I do believe it is haunted, as many other residents that still live there today do also.

This is a photo that the The Ghosts of Phoenix Tour took, and you see the orbs in this picture. This is the well area, I guess in the basement. They call this the Vortex.

Just another picture of the well area, with many Orbs around.

As I Neared Death, The Experience Of My Life

As I Neared Death, The Experience Of My Life

2008-06-03T14:22:00.003-07:00

Just recently, I had quite the experience while having surgery on an aortic aneurysm. I was quite anxious, lying on the stretcher waiting for the Surgeon to come in and speak with me before the surgery. Standing there was a rather large man with a nice smile, which was trying to put in an arterial line. At the same time he was telling me that the Anesthesiologist was going to soon give me some, as this nice man called it, "happy juice". I was very scared to say the least, but knew I had a good Surgeon, and he would take good care of me. Then the Surgeon walked in, and let me know that I had nothing to fear, that he would take care of me. Soon the Anesthesiologist walked in, and gave me some intravenous fluid into my IV which was already hanging, and off to sleep I went.

During the surgery I overheard the doctors talking in excitable voices, and I also heard the scurrying of the nurses around. However, it didn't seem that the sound was coming from around me, but it sounded like it was coming from below me. I heard the Surgeon's voice say, her blood pressure is dropping and we need to hurry. I just thought that I must be in ICU, and waking up. However, that is not what was happening. However later, I remember trying to talk, and all I could say is "pain", and "hurt", pointing at myself. Then my cousin walked in and I said her name, but that was all I could say. I look around at myself, and my arms, hands, and legs were propped up on pillows. My neck hurt quite a bit, and my throat was soar. Both legs at my femoral arteries had been cut, and I had immense pain in them. There is a funny thing to this story which I will tell you later, but my bed seemed to me to be quite small and narrow. I couldn't move too much.

I began to tell the nurses that were caring for me the story of what happened in surgery. I told them about hearing the doctors, and nurses voices in the distance, also about the bright light I was seeing. I guess I didn't want to tell them a lot, because I didn't want them thinking I was crazy. Actually, my body felt like it was floating above me, I felt disconnected from my real body, and to the side, I saw like a bright cloud. It looked like a doorway, but not quite a doorway, it is so hard to explain. The voices sounded a bit muffled, and kind of off into the distance. I also heard the movement of the nurses as they hurried to do whatever they were doing for me. I saw the IVs being handled, maybe medication being placed in them. The Anesthesiologist was quickly doing things to my body. Even though there was so much movement, and worried people around me, I wasn't really worried, but felt a feeling of floating, and also a very comfortable feeling.

Now you may ask, what was happening, and some of you know, what I had was a Near-Death Experience . The Wikipedia has a good definition of that:

"A near-death experience (NDE) refers to a broad range of personal experiences associated with impending death, encompassing multiple possible sensations ranging from detachment from the body, feelings of levitation, extreme fear, total serenity, security, or warmth, the experience of absolute dissolution, and the presence of a light, which some people interpret as a deity or spiritual presence.[citation needed] Many cultures and individuals[specify] revere NDEs as a paranormal and spiritual glimpse into the afterlife."

Many people through the years have had NDE's, and lived on to tell about it, just as I did. Now of course, there are many interpretations of these experiences, but mostly they are somewhat similar. NDE's are not unfamiliar to what we call Out-Of-Body Experiences, or OBEs. Scientists have been interested for a long time what exactly is happening within the brain when this happens.

"An assistant professor at the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden. "I'm really interested in in-body experiences: how the brain keeps and updates a model of the world and the body. To have a perception of your own body is the foundation of self-consciousness."

That is, of course, why out-of-body experiences have always been, well, out-of-body. People report such experiences after returning from the "brink of death," or being under the influence of mind-altering drugs — no doubt why the sensation has long been equated with spiritual awakening (and with crackpots). But, today, with new advances in neurology, scientists are better able than ever to locate the physical roots of these bizarre perceptions of self. For example, neurologists have studied amputees who can feel sensation where their missing limbs used to be; researchers think this phantom limb phenomenon has to do with rewiring in the brain's somatosensory cortex. And, in the lab, researchers have been able to make people feel that fake rubber hands are attached to their own bodies. (This was done simply enough, by touching the participants' real hands while having them watch the rubber hands be touched in the same way and the same time.) Now, there are the current Science experiments: the first where volunteers have relocated their entire "selves" — their minds, as it were — outside of their bodies."

Even though the two different experiences are similar, what I had was a Near-Death Experience. Here is a story about one particular woman who also had an NDE.

"A moment later, Florence went into cardiac arrest. She recalls, she says, the sounds of bells and sirens, being in a lift, and someone thumping her chest. But these memories are vague compared to her recollection of a subsequent scene. She was lying in surgery, surrounded by medical staff, yet she was not in her body but up near the ceiling, watching the activity below. She noted that her body on the bed wore a green gown with a split in the middle, and that she was otherwise completely covered. "I was calling out, 'Don't cut me. I'm still awake.' " She saw an incandescent light in the shape of a cone. "Then, boom," she says: her floating self rocketed to the cone's tip and . . . nothing.

That was 20 years ago. "I found it spooky," she says now. "I don't like to talk about it. It was the whitest light you could imagine. It wasn't a dream. It's still very, very vivid."

Florence had what's known as a near-death experience. But as strange as it was, it didn't contain all the elements of a classic NDE. As well as the bright light and out-of-body experience, other people, while clinically dead, see a tunnel, deceased relatives and divine figures."

Now, I didn't see any deceased relatives, or divine figures, and not sure I was quite dead, but near my death. However, I did have some recollections like this particular woman. I did find it rather spooky though! Since what I remember is that I woke twice from surgery, not just once like many times before when I had different surgical procedures. I did try to tell the nurses my story, and they just said, well, maybe you were under lightly towards the end of surgery, and could hear them talking. Now, for one thing, doctors would not talk about you in front of you, neither would nurses, if they thought you were awake. Also, I never had such a strange experience during a surgery. Well, all I can say, is it was the "Experience of My Life."

Oh, I did tell you I would explain the small bed. I first was transferred to Cardiac ICU when I first came out of surgery, then to just the Cardiac Unit about 2 days later. When I got to the floor, the nurse manager asked me why I was in what she called a "Pedi Bed". I told her I didn't know, that is the bed they put me in. Well what they had done is put me in a Pediatrics bed when I came out of surgery, and they are not big enough for an adult, and they also move differently. Even though it doesn't have a lot to do with this particular story, I just thought it was funny that they should put an adult in a bed made for children, and for them to be there two days before anyone noticed.

Death Of The SEO

2008-05-25T11:00:00.014-07:00

Are we seeing the "Death of the SEO"? Yes, I do believe so, unless they make some changes within the inner workings of their Company. Even some of the major players are also thinking along these lines. This is a statement that Matt Cutts stated back in 2006: “SEOs are Criminals”.

"Matt Cutts stated "in an episode of GoodKarma, WebMasterRadio, Matt Cutts equated SEOs to hackers and criminals:
Now there is a bright side. Like at the point when SEOs become illegal hackers. Like when they really start to break the law. And well you could argue if you're signing a ton of guestbooks really fast, or you're doing a ton of trackback or referrer spam, you know that almost does get towards the denial of service attack, but this is the first time where you could actually go to a court of law and you can say, "look, here's my account, I got hacked, here's all the stuff."
And on some level, it is almost kind of a silver lining, in that for the first time you could go, and you know, you could actually get an SEO convicted of doing something like this."

Well, this may tell you something, that maybe we should wake up and find out exactly what is going on. Are the SEO (Search Engine Optimization) criminals? I think some of their practises are just that.
Do we really need them, and are they helping us in anyway? I think not! What are they hiding from us?

Do they even know what they are trying to accomplish, by hiding the real truth from the public? Yes, I think they do, but what they are trying to accomplish is in no way going to help us. That is why they wear the "Black Hats". In the old West, the good guys wore the "white hats", and the bad guys wore the "black hats". Well, it is the same as today, but we are not the ones wearing the "black hats".

"The Most Cutting Edge SEO Exploits No One is Publishing
August 14th 2006 You know that the best SEO Black Hats are doing something more than scraping, using a site generator, comment spamming, and pinging to be raking in more than $100k per month.
But what is it?
Right now, there is way too much good stuff that I simply can’t publish on the SEO Black Hat blog. If I posted these tactics and exploits they would immediately get all the wrong kind of attention. The detailed conversations about how exactly to abuse search engine algorithms, generate massive traffic, and what other Black Hats are doing must remain underground to retain their effectiveness."

While they are making tons of money, what is happening to us. The Public is starting to complain, as they rightly should, and there is a lot of negative buzz around the SEO. It seems to me that the SEO do a lot of spamming. There seems to be a lot of charging to make your blog, or website popular, and to get in into the number slots of the Search Engines. I think there may be other ways to make your website, or blog to show up in searches without spending all the money the SEO would love you to spend.

"A Hearty Welcome to All the New Search Engine Spammers!
April 15th 2007 The family of SEO Black Hats just got a whole lot bigger. Tons of people who thought they were playing by the rules, including sites in every category of the Internet, just got categorized as search engine spammers by Google in Matt Cutt’s recent post."

Where are we heading, well it seems we are headed down the long hallway of the paranormal. Why do I think that the SEO have anything to do with the paranormal, well because they have become somewhat unbelievable, the same way that some don't believe the paranormal. Yes, I find the SEO portray and "describe unusual phenomena or experiences that lack an obvious scientific explanation." There seems to be nothing scientific about the SEO, in my sense of the word. Actually, they don't make sense at all!

I think they must start to change their ways, or there will be a "Death Of The SEO". Then all that will linger behind are the ghosts of the SEO. Now, as some of us know ghosts can be very benevolent, or they can be cruel, and mischievous such as poltergeists. I do believe our SEO characters would become poltergeists. We already know they are quite mischievous in real life, why wouldn't they be in the Spiritual World. Just in case some of you don't know what I mean by the Spiritual World, this is from the "Spiritual World Dictionary":

"If we accept that dying is not the end of our existence but simply the end of the body that carried our consciousness, and that our soul survives and exists somewhere else, then we can accept that it might be possible to make contact with the consciousness and all the emotions and memories that continue on."

Therefore, even though their bodies may be gone, their consciousness, and soul carries on. I have seen this World with my own eyes, since I have had many near-death experiences because of illness. The Wikipedia states this about the Near-death Studies:

"NDE (Near-death experience)
The NDE is an experience reported by people who have come close to dying in a medical or non-medical setting. The phenomenon is considered to be a fairly common occurrence in modern clinical settings (Lukoff, Lu & Turner, 1998) and according to a Gallup poll approximately eight million Americans claim to have had a near-death experience (Mauro, 1992). An NDE may include such factors as: an out-of-body-experience, visions of deceased relatives, visions of religious figures or beings of light, transcendence of ego and spatio-temporal boundaries, the sense of moving up or through a narrow passageway ("Tunnel experience"), life review, and other transcendental experiences (Lukoff, Lu & Turner, 1998; Greyson, 2003; Mauro, 1992). The phenomenology of an NDE usually includes physiological, psychological and transcendental factors that come together to form an overall pattern when numerous NDE reports are considered together. It is this pattern that is one of the main objects of interest for Near-Death studies. NDE-researchers have also found that the NDE is not a uniquely western experience. The core experience seems to be similar across cultures, but the details of the experience (figures, beings, scenery), and the interpretation of the experience, varies a lot from culture to culture (Mauro, 1992)."

Another experience I had just recently during surgery the 15th of this month (May) is what they call an Out-Of-Body experience. This is called OBE, or sometimes OOBE. I remember the doctors talking about me, and talking about my blood pressure dropping, this also could be the NDE that I spoke above about, because I was so close to death. I told the nurses when I woke up, but they just concluded that I was coming out of anesthesia, and heard them talking. I don't believe they would be talking the way they were in front of me. Also, this is not the first time I have experienced this. The Wikipedia has a great description of this also:

"OBEs are sometimes reported to be preceded by and initiated from a lucid dream state, though other types of initiation—ranging anywhere from immediate and spontaneous experiences, to conscientiously controlled and pre-meditated methods (examples of which are widely available in all the most popular books on the subject)—are also reported. In many cases, people who claimed to have had an OBE reported being asleep, on the verge of sleep, or already asleep shortly before the experience. A large percentage of these cases referred to situations where the sleep was not particularly deep (due to illness, noises in other rooms, emotional stress, exhaustion from overworking, frequent re-awakening, etc.). In most of these cases, the subjects then felt themselves awake; about half them noted a feeling of sleep paralysis.[4] Some subjects report having had an OBE during near death conditions."

The only reason I mention this, is because some of the characters of the SEO, seem to me to be acting like they are somewhat asleep, and walking in their sleep. There is a drug that the Native Americans use to place them in the OBE, which is called peyote. Have they all been smoking peyote? I sit here and wonder!

Before I decided to write this post, my friend, Igor The Troll, wrote a post about the "SEO Divas", in which if you read that post before mine, it will give you a great idea of the players of the SEO. I was quite thankful to him for writing it, since it helped me with my post. My suggestion is to take a look at it, because it will also be helpful to you. Here is a short excerpt from his post:

"Do not get me wrong. SEO is important but not as much these guys make you want to believe it is. The basis of SEO you can list on your hands using your fingers! More than any kind of Voodoo, SEO it is content. Content is King! Just ask Matt Cutts and he will confirm with me! You make an interesting page Internet users will read it and link to it. Search engines will indexes it, and more users will find it in search results. Do not try to game the search engines, it is a losing battle, and if you get caught you will be crying, “Why Google does not like me!” at GWHF. You do not want to go there. They treat you like Shit. Just ask Adam Lasnik the Google search engine Evangelist."

These guys are really weird! While I was doing a bit of research on the SEO I came across this page written by Paul Madden an SEO and designer from the UK.

The page is http://www.seoidiot.com/, which is Paul Madden's Personal Blog. He actually calls himself a SEO Idiot. I will give an explanation a bit later, I just found it very amusing. He has also doodled some great caricatures of his buddies, and the SEO players. This is one of Paul Madden.

Here is what Paul Madden says about himself (To the right is a real picture of Paul Madden):

"Im SEOidiot (Although my real name is Paul). I have been addicted to the internet since 1996 and I am always looking for new ways to keep me interested online, nearly all of them involve finding ways to make money…..

Im a simple Adsense Farmer….
I have WhiteHat sites
I have my fair share of ermmm experimental content aggregation sites….
I have a bunch of grey sites
I am a mod over at my good friend Earls forum http://www.syndk8.net/
I am also an avid doodler… i love to cartoon, the cartoon on the top of this blog is one of mine. If anyone ever wants any cartooning work done I can often be persuaded using beer, money or favours….."

This begins to make you realize what the SEO is really after, and it is NOT making your website, or blog number one in the Search Engines, there is nothing here that tells me that they are out for us, they are out for themselves only! They are money hungry scandalmongers! You can spend thousands of dollars buying SEO products to supposedly bring your website, or blog to the number one slot on the Search Engines, however, is this really going to do it? I don't think so. This is why I see the SEO part of the paranormal since science can't measure it. It just becomes an "unusual phenomena or experiences that lack an obvious scientific explanation".

Just in the past day I came across two of the strangest sites while searching for information on the SEO, one was a SEO Cartoon Quiz. Take this yourself, and see how you do, I didn't do that well, but I definitely don't think like they do. You would think after everything I have read, that I could pass their stupid test. I guess that is because I am not stupid! The second site I found was "The SEO Addict", now I also found this quite amusing also!

Does that look like blood? Maybe it is our blood! Have they become another paranormal creature, a Vampire. Makes sense to me if you look at the Modern belief of vampirism.

"In modern fiction, the vampire tends to be depicted as a suave, charismatic villain. Despite the general disbelief in vampiric entities, occasional sightings of vampires are reported. Indeed, vampire hunting societies still exist, although they are largely formed for social reasons. Allegations of vampire attacks swept through the African country of Malawi during late 2002 and early 2003, with mobs stoning one individual to death and attacking at least four others, including Governor Eric Chiwaya, based on the belief that the government was colluding with vampires."

In wrapping all this up, I have to say that I think we will be seeing the "Death of the SEO", it might not be today, but it will be somewhat soon. Now, that is if they don't change some of their ways in dealing with websites, and blogs....and mostly people themselves. I think the one think that they fail to see is that behind the websites, and blogs are human beings with feelings, thoughts, and souls. Mostly they forget that we are not inanimate objects. Therefore we may see the end to the Search Engine Optimization! It will walk off into the "wild blue yonder" of the paranormal.

A Change Ready To Come About

2008-05-23T14:33:00.007-07:00

All of your comments you made on my last post, were quite helpful for me to make a change, and the choice of a new focus for my blog. I wanted to thank all of you that did make comments, and wanted you to know that I did appreciate your feedback.

Right now, I am working on my first post with my new focus. As most of you have asked for, it will have to do with ghost stories, and also the paranormal. However, there will be a unique twist to this. I had a good friend send a "twitter" message to me, which I felt he had a grand idea. Here is his comment: "You can spin everything with Ghosts! The Ghosts of SEO, Social Media, Politicians, Amerika, etc. Just get to know the topic, do a Paranormal." Well, this sounds really good to me, and also I thought it might catch my reader's eye also. The person who twittered this message to me was Igor The Troll, and he has an engaging and provocative blog. He has been a good friend for quite a while, and has been teaching me the ins and outs of the blogosphere. He has also been teaching me a bit of netiquettes... :)

Anyways, I am actually working on something Igor wanted me to write about, and I promised to write for him. I am hoping to do a good job, and make it interesting, engaging, and provocative to all they may read it. I would love to start drawing some more visitors to my blog. It should be finished in just a few days. Mostly, right now, I have been doing a lot of research about this particular subject, mostly so I understand it completely, and know what I am talking about. So this will be the first of more to come. Just bear with me for a couple of days, and it will be posted. I feel once I post this first one, it shouldn't take long to post more. I guess I am nervous about my first. :) I don't want to disappoint my mentor, as I call him now.

Stumped!

2008-05-20T08:32:00.010-07:00

Hey All! I have a serious problem here, and not sure what to do about it. I started this blog a little less than two months ago, and wanted to post some of my poetry here. At least that is what I was thinking about. I had never dealt with a blog ever, however I had read of few of my close friends blogs, mostly having to do with educational material, or their own education. I had a few friends that were blogging about their thesis for school; they were trying to gather their thoughts together using a blog. I said to myself, "Ah, that sounds like a great ...just what I needed to help me with a manuscript I have been trying to write for a Publisher." Now the first post I wrote did have one of my poems in it, however, I guess it didn't interest too many. Therefore, I tried one of my short stories, the went over a bit better, but still not enough. started getting somewhat confused.

I have now read many blogs, and have made many wonderful new friends here in the blogger-sphere world. I have read blogs some very interesting blogs on Human Rights, Political Activism, Educational materials about different countries, computer information, personal blogging, pets, knitting, mother's blogs, and so many others. It is really something though, I have about 21 different Countries, and about 140 places in the USA looking at my blog. I guess some of those may be repeats, but still I love the fact that I get to talk, and become friends with different cultures all over the world.

I received an email the other day, that said, "I was checking out your blog and noticed that you have some great posts. I was just wondering if you had a specific focus of your blog?" Then I started to realize that, no, I really didn't. I have written posts about many different things that I might be interested in, however, there is no sense of direction, or focus. What I am now trying to figure out is where is, and what is my focus, or what should it be. I do have interests in many different areas, and what I seem to have been doing is just writing about whatever pops into my head.

So folks, I need focus, and thought I might be able to get some help with some comments people might write. One of my biggest interests lies in the Paranormal, such as the ghost story I wrote, and the other post about ghost orbs. There were a few that enjoyed my short "Ghost in the House" post. So maybe that is the root I should go? I also like to write short stories, something that may have happened in my own life. I need to forget about my poetry for now, since not many of those that visit my page don't seem to care for it. I also like to write about my dog, she is such a character.

So is there anyone out there that can maybe make a few suggestions to help me out to begin to have some sort of focus? Now, I am asking for some help, so please don't hold back, and let me know what you think, what would you like to read about?

The Dog Stroller

2008-05-12T18:18:00.013-07:00

My sister called me yesterday, and while we were talking, she told me about a dog stroller she bought for our mother. My mother just moved from North Carolina to Florida, with her little Chihuahua. My mother is getting older now, and realized that she could no longer care for a house she owned. She moved into a Community that is called Dawling Park, which is a large community that is basically self contained. They have just about anything you could possible want there, for instance, stores, shops, community events, transportation, houses, apartments, assisted living, and nursing homes. Well, she decided to rent herself an apartment there, and she now lives on the third floor of one of their buildings.

Because this is a Community, there are certain rules and regulations you must abide by. She needs to pick up her little Chihuahua, since the dog's feet are not suppose to hit the floors outside her apartment at all. The elevator is close by, however, in the morning my mother carries the dog down the stairs...I guess she wants some exercise. However, besides walking down the stairs, carrying a dog is quite a strain on her. At least, this is how my sister felt about it. My mother could use the elevator, however, she still has to carry the dog around from the third floor down, and then back up again.

My sister started to frantically searched the Internet for a dog stroller, that my mother could use for the dog. Well she was very surprised that so many sites came up selling dog strollers. However, she found one that had free shipping, and chose that one. She waited with anticipation for the delivery of her new dog stroller. It finally arrived in about 4 days. She was so excited to see it, and how it worked. She owns a small dog herself, so she used her own dog to try it out. She was ecstatic, her dog just loved it! Well my sister grabbed her husband, and took the hour trip to our mother's place to present her with her new dog stroller. Our mother opened the door, and my sister wheeled in the new stroller into her apartment, and was she surprised! Our mother placed her little Chihuahua in the dog stroller, and the dog just loved it. Now people stopped her on the street when she is strolling her dog, not really to see the dog, but to see the stroller. Now because it is basically like a baby stroller, my mother is able to go into places without any bother at all. The dog is all zipped in behind a mess front, and quite comfortable, and quiet. She actually even went into a restaurant with it, and sneaked little bits of food to the dog, as he popped his little head out. She just wheeled him nicely under the table while she was there.

I own a Chinese Crested Powder-Puff Hybrid, who's name is Sasha, and I was thinking of getting one for her. She weights about 7 pounds, and does love to be carried around. After speaking with my sister I looked for the place she order hers, and found it: http://justpetstrollers.com/happy_trails_pet_stroller.html These strollers are not only for the smaller dogs, they are also for dogs up to 75 pounds, at all different prices. The stroller that my sister got for our mother is called the Pet Gear "Petzip Urban Vogue Pet Stroller - Blue or Pink" The picture that is just above is called the "Happy Trails Pet Stroller".at $79.99. The one at the very top is called the "Petzip Urban Vogue Pet Stroller", and costs about $99.99. The prices of these strollers vary according to how much weight is being held, and also how elaborate the stroller is. Below is some information about this site's dog strollers.

Every dog owner knows that most of us "dog lovers" definitely
pamper our pets with all kinds of things such as toys, bones, treats, clothes,
and this seems tome to be the ultimate of pampering. Now you can take your dog
for a walk, without the dog actually walking. It is good for a dog that will only walk for a short distance, and then stop. My dog will do that, she will sit when
she is tired, and won't budge. Also, if you go into a store, shopping
area, restaurant, and etc., no one seems to notice that it is a dog, and NOT
a baby. There is enough room in them for the dog to lie down, and stretch out and
sleep. They are also padded, and the pads can be removed for cleaning. Overall,
it seems to me, that they are a great product, and would be good for particular
dogs. Our mother's dog really loves it, and will stay in it for a long time
without whining or barking. This company also has a Pet Stroller Blog: Tips &
Advice to help explain everything to you. Now, the one that I have picked out is
called the "Jeep ® Wrangler Pet Stroller", which is pictured below.

"Jeep Wrangler Features:
Free Shipping!*
Price Match Guarantee: If you find it cheaper, enter the price and Web site address during checkout, and we'll match (subject to restrictions) Click for Details
A tough, rugged Jeep ® Pet Stroller for your pets!
For cats and dogs (and other animals) up to 30 lbs.
Manufactured by Pet Gear, the same company that makes the high-quality and popular Happy Trails and AT3 pet strollers.
Water-repellent 600 Denier nylon fabric with steel frame -- tough and water resistant.
Jeep ® branding on wheels, handles, and side of pet stroller.
Folds and stores flat (15" high), and one-hand quick-fold mechanism allows for easy folding in just seconds!

Removable pad included
Parent tray contains cup holder and holds keys or cell phone.
Sand Stone color
Assembles in minutes.
Size: 28" x 19" x 40" high. Weighs 17 lbs.">

Now it seems to me that this is the best for the price, which is $95.99 including Shipping, because of it's sturdiness. Even though the "Happy Trails" is about $20 less, I think I would be better off to spend the little extra to get the sturdiness of this particular one. There is also the weatherproofing of the Jeep compared to the other. I think Sasha would love riding in style, and also be quite comfortable in this, as she can stretch out and sleep, or take a peak out, and see where she is going.

This is Sasha, my little pup!

Explanation Of My "Prank Or Mistake" Post: My Dry Sense Of Humor

2008-05-11T14:36:00.012-07:00

I know some that have looked at this didn't get my joke, but I have an extremely dry sense of humor, and I guess it is sometimes too dry. Therefore, I am going to tell you what I was getting at to help you understand my very dry sense of humor. I put only one button that had the page that I really wanted you to look at on this page. That button was the last one. It is called the "Platypus Prank"! It was something someone put into their feed, so that when you went to their feed all you would see if platypuses, instead of their posts. I came across the page while trying to fix my own feed, and thought it was funny.

Just for fun I put the other buttons in there which each go to a different page, which may have something to do with the button. I was trying to just put a fun post in here for you to use your imaginations. Or, should I say, I was bored, and decided to put something in here that I thought was fun. Yes, I am making fun of myself, and my own dry wit.

Now we have some pictures in here, that should make you laugh. At least I hope they do. I guess another way to show my dry wit. So now we have it: I am sorry that I have dry wit, with a bit of silliness, and don't forget about the dry fly on the end of a fishing pole that just didn't hit the water. Well, I must say, I definitely did not hit the mark at all!

Now to get back to it, please click on the last button on the last post, and let me know what you think now. I mean, am I wrong? Is this not funny? I really should know, because otherwise I am just fooling myself, and things I think are funny just aren't. If so, maybe I should have my mind examined, although in my way of thinking, it should be examined anyways. Okay, it is enough now, I have said enough.

I will be posting some things that make sense soon, and have been working on a few things. This last two posts were done just for some fun, and I did have fun with them. Along the way, I have learned a few things which I am told that is a great thing to do. Maybe what I should do is explain why this is not a time for me to be serious.

In three more days, I am going into the hospital to have an extremely sensitive, and dangerous surgery. It has to do with my heart, and I guess you could say that I am a bit frightened about it. I won't be around for several days, so don't wonder where I am, you will know, I will be in the hospital. Now, I could tell you so many humorous, and also horrific stories of hospital stays I have had in the past two years. I think I will save that though for another day. I am not telling you this to look for sympathy, since I want nothing of the kind. I would rather be like yourself, whole, fit, and physical. But I didn't draw that card, God gave me a different card, a different 'roll of the die'. So don't feel sorry for me, just pray that I will be back again to write silly stuff, and show my dry sense of humor.

Stumble It!

PRANK Or MISTAKE? You Decide!

2008-05-06T18:01:00.029-07:00

I found this the other day, and thought I much share this with all. I was looking for a way to fix a mistake I made with my feed, and found this. It either was a prank, or mistake someone made within their own feed. So, here goes!

All you need to do is push a button below: Sorry I am not allowed to tell you which one.

Did you find the right one? Got You! You MUST find the animal!

Delving Into The Paranormal

2008-05-04T11:52:00.026-07:00

The Paranormal

This video shows us different types of Paranormal activity.

There are many different types of paranormal events, such as, telepathy, extra-sensory perception, psychokinesis, ghosts, hauntings, UFOs, creatures, the Bermuda Triangle, and so on. All of these things defies the normal scientific span of our knowledge. Therefore, most mainstream scientists just refuse to believe in the different events people have actually witnessed, even though there may be hard copy evidence. They just think that somehow those that have witnessed a certain event, and have got evidence of that experience have tampered with it. Since the paranormal covers such broad categories, I will be focusing on ghosts, and hauntings. Now of course this is something I am interested in, since I claimed in an earlier story to have a "Ghost in My Home".

Later I may post about some other type of paranormal events, since to me, this is quite interesting. One of those is what they call remote viewing. "Remote viewing(RV) is the idea that a person can gather information on a remote target that is hidden from physical view and typically separated from the viewer at some distance through paranormal means, as a form of extra-sensory perception". I became interested in this after reading a book by David Morehouse (The Psychic Warrior) who had become involved in the Government's Stargate Project. Well, I am getting carried away with myself here. Back to ghosts!

I would like to talk a bit more about the orbs which showed up in my pictures, and I have found some other pictures that I will put in here. Then you can decide for yourselves what they may or may not be. You may ask, "What is an orb anyway?" The ghost hunters say that they be "balls of transparent light we find in photos taken in allegedly haunted places." Another thing they may be is "the energy being transferred from a source (i.e. power lines, heat energy, batteries, people, etc) to the spirit so they can manifest." I do believe that they are small circles of light that the ghost has manifest to try to communicate with you. I do believe the spirits try to communicate with us in many different ways, such as, moving objects, turning lights on and off, making noises, moving shadows, and these orbs.

As you can see in this picture, the perfect circle on the stairway, is just sitting there in the photo, and the photo is the only place you will see this. Although I suppose if you took frame after frame of the same stairway, it might move, like if taking a video of the moving spheres. Here is a picture I took in my home, with those same orbs in the picture. (The orb is over to the right side of the picture, near the blind.)

I have a number of pictures that have these. There is one, that I am not allowed to post here, that has many things on it. Below I have some very eerie videos for you to watch.

This video is of Haunted House. Corrales, NM Built by Don Juan Perea in the 1860's, Perea Casa is a classic 19th century Territorial style...

This next one is called "The Most Authentic Ghosts Pictures Ever...."

This video is called, "The World Of Ghosts, Spirits, And Demons". I found this one the weirdest of all!

"Learning About Paranormal
There are so many unexplained incidents and incredible phenomena that happen to people everyday. We are becoming more and more cognizant of the paranormal, but there has been no way to quantify the existance of it for both skeptics and scientists. Here, we will read and learn about the intangible, and hopefully educate people that just because you can't see a full figured apparition with the naked eye, does that mean they don't exist?"

BEST comment written by Quackster, who actually explained something quite important much better than I did, and I just wanted to share this with you on my post:

"The paranormal and science do not operate on the same terms. Science being that it is provides evidence to theories by having experiments crank out data that is replicated by other people on equipment that is standardized by a third party. Therefore, science cannot necessarily explain the paranormal because the equipment is not always the same and not standardized by a universal third party consultant as well as the data collection may be biased. With that said, I'm not saying the paranormal does not exist. I'm just saying the two don't always mesh." *Quoted, and written by Quackster*

Here is a video that is about someone who was trying to Experiment with the different orbs he saw:

In this video, watch the cat, as it watches the Orb moving back and forth. It is a well know fact, that children, and animals are the ones who can actually see ghosts, spirits, and orbs from spirits.

This video has some closeups of different orbs they caught on video, and I find this fascinating.

This is the last video, and this one has many faces in it, or spirits, and ghost apparitions. These ghosts apparitions, and orbs fascinate me, since I DO have a ghost in my home which is a rather bothersome ghost, which could have become a Poltergeist. The reason I feel I can call him that, is because he is starting to make noises, move things around, and scratch on the underneath of my bed at times. I don't have any videos, however I do have many pictures that have the orbs in them. I did think that the only pictures that didn't have them was my dog's pictures, however, as you notice above, I did find one with them in her picture. Although, that is the only picture they are in, and there aren't as many as the other pictures. I took my cousin's picture, and there is quite a bit around her, but she chose not to have her picture posted here, as I said above. I haven't seen any faces in the pictures, however, I don't have a video camera, and maybe if I did, I might see his face.

I tried to pick out the best videos I could find to demonstrate the appearance of Orbs. There are a number of them to choose from, however I found the ones I posted here the best of the bunch. Are they spirits? Or, they just balls of light that we pick up on a fixed, or video camera? It seems to me that because of the fact they seem to be perfect spheres, that there must be something to it. Also, since children, and animals respond to something we can't see with our eyes without the camera, they must be there. I wish there was equipment that could actually prove that indeed, they are some kind of spirit.

I watch my dog watching, with her eyes following something I can't see, and this is unexplainable to me. Also, she is funny to watch, she is like a cat playing with a penlight, reaching out for the light with her paws. Now of course, if I was using a penlight, I would be able to actually see this. My other question is, are they communicating with her? Me? Someone else? Or, is this just refracted light reflecting off of something else?

I took a look at this site, and for all those interested in ghosts, spirits, apparitions, and paranormal events, this might be the place for you. It is called Ghoststudy.com, and has many different things there that may interest that intrigue for the studies of ghosts, and such.

Maybe this doesn't interest you at all, or maybe you just don't care whether we have ghosts, and spirits moving around us all the time. Or are they angels?----(To me that one is a whole different subject, or is it?) Make some comments, and let me know what you think?

Ghost In My Home!

2008-04-01T13:50:00.012-07:00

This is the starting of a short story about the ghost, I believe lives in my apartment. Many strange occurrences happen quite often. So, I thought I would start to write about it. If you really look at the picture above, your will notice the perfect circles on the pictures. There have been many pictures taken in this apartment, that have those circles, however, there is nothing on the pictures of my dog.

This is just a picture I picked up off the Internet.

STORY ABOUT GHOSTS:

I moved into this apartment over two years ago, and ever since then I have seen many strange things. Before I moved in, because there is a law in my State, that they must reveal that the person that lived in this apartment before me, killed himself here. You see, the apartment had to be cleaned by a special group of people. It wasn't too long before I moved in, I began to see, and hear strange things. Well, ever since I have moved in, there have been many things that have happened, such as things moved, strange shadows, pictures taken here, with odd things on them.

Sometimes pictures are moved slightly, they may just be tilted a bit. Or the dogs toys are moved, after I have picked them up for the night. In the kitchen, the silverware is moved, after being arranged in a certain way. Shades are either pulled up, or closed. I normally keep the shades closed, as my eyes are sensitive to light. My covers on the bed are sometimes pulled down, when I have made the bed already. Sometimes I feel something under my bed, and it isn't the dog. There might be a scratching, or a noise. I sometimes hear strange, eerie noises in the night, and it is not the neighbors.

My dog even sees things, sometimes I look at her and she is staring at something, in a direction where there is nothing to stare at. Sometimes she cowers in the middle of the floor for no reason. I feel sometimes that something has touched me. For example, feeling a tap on the shoulder and I will turn and look, and there is nothing there. There is a piece of carpet that was replaced, a square. The dog won't leave it alone, she has chewed at it, and she never chews anything else accept that. I think that underneath that piece of rug there was blood. Now, of course they need to tell you, but don't have to tell you what happened. All I know that it was a suicide, and it was a young man.

If he is a ghost here, he is not harmful, just seems to want your attention. I don't feel frightened at all, although I don't like to be left alone at night. I took some pictures of my roomate, and there are these things around her. Actually, every picture I took has something on them, accept the dog's pictures. It is quite strange, however I do believe in ghosts. Well, I do wonder. What do you think?

My Small Bits Of Paper

2008-03-29T18:49:00.017-07:00

I would like to begin, with telling your about, "My Small Bits Of Paper." I still use this way of writing even though, we now mostly all have computers that have writing programs to use.

I have been writing since my early teens...and now, lol, I am as you see, 59. Most of my stuff has just popped into my mind, and I would write down my thoughts on small pieces of paper. Sometimes, I would lose some of those small bits of paper...never to be heard from again. When I was in the field of X-Ray, I sometimes had darkroom duty, but there was a small amount of light, and that is where my small bits of paper would somehow become lost to the....where ever. When I bought my first computer, I was thrilled, because I could type them up into a program, such as, Word. However, it was so hard for me, because sometimes my thoughts would just stop, since I was so use to those small bits of paper. So even now, I still write on small bits of paper...lol! Then I write them on my computer into my writing program. This is the first poem I would like you to read, and comment on. Please! I will be adding more later when I have some comments on this one, and if you would like, you may write in a comment, your own poetry, and I will comment on yours...I don't mind a critic, one way or another, but please no rude comments. THANKS

*The Weary Warrior*

A brave warrior sits alone,

Admidst the burning flames,

Among the ruins of the unknown.

The stars shining Brightly above,

This world of torment,

And terror.

The moon ablaze,

With bursts of red Sparkling lights,

From above the torn,

Twisted, bloodshed.

From those horrid,

Bursts of dread.

Oh, Great Spirit

Hear their cries,

Fill me with that

Courage that will not die!
