11:40 pm	I mourn the loss of a beautiful and erotic woman From www.cnn.com LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- Legendary pinup queen Bettie Page died of pneumonia at the age of 85 in a Los Angeles, California, hospital Thursday, a week after suffering a heart attack, according to her agent. Pinup queen Bettie Page was credited with helping to usher in the sexual revolution. "She captured the imagination of a generation of men and women with her free spirit and unabashed sensuality," said agent Mark Roesler in a written statement. "She is the embodiment of beauty." Page, said to be one of the most photographed people of the past century, became a recluse in recent decades. Yet, her images continued to be used around the world to market Bettie Page action figures, clothing lines and other merchandise. "Her popularity as an underground, guilty pleasures phenomenon has continued to soar despite the fact that the reclusive Page disappeared almost a half century ago, leading many to believe that one of the most photographed individuals of the 20th century was already dead." Roesler said. The Web site, BettiePage.com, logs about 20 million hits a month, Roesler said. A TVGuide.com poll recently placed Bettie Page as the "ultimate sex goddess," outscoring others such as Marilyn Monroe. iReport.com: Share your trubutes to Bettie Page Page was born to a poor family in Tennessee on April 22, 1923. While her birth certificate spelled her name "Betty," she changed the spelling later in life to "Bettie." At a time when few women pursued a college education, Page earned a bachelor of arts degree in education from Peabody College in Tennessee in 1944, according to her official biography. Her teaching career, however, was hampered by her looks, she said. "I couldn't control my students, especially the boys," she is quoted as saying. After her modeling career ended, Page returned to Peabody College to work on a master's degree, the bio said. Her Southern drawl and a refusal to sleep with a Hollywood producer hampered her acting career, according to her bio. "I didn't like his looks," Page said. "I wouldn't have gone to bed with him anyway. He was a creep. He drove off in his big car and scolded me, 'You'll be sorry.' I wasn't." Page said she regretted not accepting studio boss Jack Warner's offer of another screen-test, but it came while she was trying to save her marriage to her first husband, Billy Neal. Her modeling breakthrough began after she divorced Neal in 1947 when she met a police officer whose hobby was photography. He suggested the black bangs, which became her trademark, her bio said. Not long after, her images were everywhere, gracing magazine covers and locker pin-ups. Page wore nothing but a Santa hat in Playboy's January 1955 centerfold. Playboy founder Hugh Hefner said her appearance in his magazine's first year was a milestone. "She became, in time, an American icon, her winning smile and effervescent personality apparent in every pose," Hefner said. "A kinky connection was added by Irving Klaw's spanking, fetish and bondage photos, which became part of the Bettie Page mystique," Hefner said. "They were playful parodies that are now perceived as the early inspiration for Madonna's excursions into the realm of sexual perversion." Perhaps the most memorable photos of Page were her bondage poses, which she said were all pretend. "I never understood how anyone believed those poses were sexy," she later said. "To be tied up? I don't get it." "She was a remarkable woman, truly someone that changed the social norms, not only here in this country, but also around the world," Roesler said. "While Jackie Robinson was changing the racial attitudes, Bettie Page was changing our attitudes on sex. She became a James Dean type of 'rebel' figure as she allowed people to be less inhibited and look at sex in a different way." Saucy photos of Paige in skimpy clothing or none at all helped to lead the way for the sexual revolution of the 1960s. Page suddenly disappeared from the scene in 1958. It was only decades later revealed that she re-emerged to explain that she underwent a religious conversion and moved to Florida. Her life took a dark turn starting in 1978 after her third marriage failed, Roesler said. Page went through "some mental instability, violent mood swings, and serious trouble with the law" and was eventually diagnosed as a paranoid schizophrenic, according to her bio. Page reappeared in public in December 2003 for Playboy's 50th anniversary party, where she made a grand entrance with Anna Nicole Smith. It was the only time in the past 50 years that Page allowed her photograph to be taken, Roesler said. A private funeral service is planned for Tuesday. Page will buried at Westwood Cemetery in Los Angeles, just a few feet away from Monroe. (1 Comment |Comment on this)

6:08 am	I Am A: Neutral Good Human Sorcerer (5th Level) Ability Scores: Strength-14 Dexterity-14 Constitution-15 Intelligence-11 Wisdom-13 Charisma-13 Alignment: Neutral Good A neutral good character does the best that a good person can do. He is devoted to helping others. He works with kings and magistrates but does not feel beholden to them. Neutral good is the best alignment you can be because it means doing what is good without bias for or against order. However, neutral good can be a dangerous alignment because it advances mediocrity by limiting the actions of the truly capable. Race: Humans are the most adaptable of the common races. Short generations and a penchant for migration and conquest have made them physically diverse as well. Humans are often unorthodox in their dress, sporting unusual hairstyles, fanciful clothes, tattoos, and the like. Class: Sorcerers are arcane spellcasters who manipulate magic energy with imagination and talent rather than studious discipline. They have no books, no mentors, no theories just raw power that they direct at will. Sorcerers know fewer spells than wizards do and acquire them more slowly, but they can cast individual spells more often and have no need to prepare their incantations ahead of time. Also unlike wizards, sorcerers cannot specialize in a school of magic. Since sorcerers gain their powers without undergoing the years of rigorous study that wizards go through, they have more time to learn fighting skills and are proficient with simple weapons. Charisma is very important for sorcerers; the higher their value in this ability, the higher the spell level they can cast.

2:02 pm	why do i get crap for not voting? i am registered. i research candidates and spend alot of time going over records. i just cant seem to find all the qualities in one person. (unless of course I ran) i just cant bring myself to opt for the lesser of two evils. people tell me that i cant complain in the future because i didnt vote. screw that. i was complaining 2 years ago. i can complain because people that run are religious, hypocritical, and full of crap. every year there needs to be a lottery with EVERYONES name. of course you need to be able to vote.(18, legal resident ect.) a fair shot for people to try and fix this mess we call a nation. thats just my opinion. i havnt worked out all the kinks in my idea, i am working on it.

10:49 am	halloween so once again i sat out on my porch for beggars night and passed out candy for all the kids wanting a free sugar high. this year was even worse than the last. let me give you a play by play of what happens 98% of the time. its about 610pm and i havnt had a single child wandering around the neighborhood yet.( its still daylight, but it is fading fast) about 615 i get an incredibly cute little bee who is no more than 3 years old. she manages to speak the magic words as best she can, "twrick or tweet" my heart melts and i give up 2 mini bags of m&ms.(i do not give these to just anyone, as they are my favorite candy and i need to munch on something as i sit on my front step) this goes on for a bit, but then things turn ugly. the darkness has finally set in and the neighborhood is "abuzz"(man that little bee was cute) now, you need to know that i love kids. i really do. but when the older ones start coming by for their treat i ask for one simple thing before i start giving up the goods. i need a joke. i LOVE jokes. I want to know what the cutting edge of knock knock or no arms no legs jokes are these days. i sit there and ask point blank "you got a joke for me" now the little above mentioned bee and other such cute animals, witches, princesses, and superheros are exempt from this. they are just so friggin cute, you WANT to give them candy. even the "good stuff". i then ask an older kid(with nothing but a mask on) "you got a joke for me?" "no" "no joke?" i ask "nah, i used em all" "all of em" i ask because i am confused about the "disposable, one time use" jokes he is referring to. "yup" i am now thinking to myself how hard it would be to come up with a chicken crossing the road joke. something. ANYTHING!!! believe it or not but this goes on for the rest of the night. i got one funny joke. out of 5 big bags of candy. one. what do you get when you cross a ghost with bambi? bamboo!!! that one brought a smile and a giggle from me. that child got FOUR pieces of candy from me. why? because he actually made an effort for his loot. i dont need a long, drawn out, elaborate one. (the ping pong joke) but at least TRY. i managed to get rid of alot of the crappy candy because of this. "you got a joke for me" "nope" i then smile as i deposit one lonely individually wrapped life saver in his bag. what the hell is happening to kids these days. when i went out trick or treating i had at least three jokes primed and ready to go. (mom and dad made sure of that) i dont ask much of the youth today. but holly crap you kids have 360 days to come up with a friggin joke. now could it be just my neighborhood or the cross section of children that come to my door? i dont know. all i do know is that next year i am going to find the least wanted candy of all time and hand it out to the kids who dont even try. as for my m&ms, i will be munching on then with a bamboo and a cute little bee.

1:45 am	this was a funny article in the Des Moines Register a few days ago. i am still giggling!!!! And would you like to buy some therapy with that? KEN FUSON REGISTER COLUMNIST February 3, 2006 At the drive-through: "Hello, I'm Kristi. May I help you?" "I'd like a cup of coffee." "What size?' "Large." "Latte, cappuccino or espresso?" "Just coffee." "Dark roasted, light roasted or decaf?" "Dark." "Room for cream?" "No, thanks." "Milk?" "No." "Sugar?" "No." "Sweet'N Low?" "No." "How about a cinnamon roll?" "No." "Biscotti?" "Nope." "Muffin?" "Just coffee, thanks." "We have a special on pie. Two for $1. How about a couple of slices of hot apple pie?" "Look, Kristi, I'm trying to get to work. I'd just like coffee." "Would you like to donate to this very worthy charity event that we are sponsoring?" "Sorry." "It's a great cause. We're going to walk for -" "Just the coffee, OK?" "Salt and ketchup?" "For coffee?" "I thought you might like some fries. We have fresh French fries. Try saying that three times. Fresh. French. Fries. That's hard to do. Hahaha." "No, fries. Just coffee. I'm sort of in a hurry, Kristi. I need to get to work." "Will this be cash or credit card?" "Cash." "Would you like to buy some traveler's checks? We sell those now, too." "Nope. I'd just like to pay for my coffee with cash." "Do you want me to put your cup of coffee in a bag?" "No, thanks." "How about a cup holder?" "For crying out loud! What is the problem? Why can't you just order something and pay for it anymore? I'm not looking to have a relationship. I don't want to be your friend. I don't want a blueberry bagel or a car wash or an extended service warranty. I just want my damn coffee!" Several minutes pass. "May I help you?" "What happened to Kristi?" "I'm the manager. Kristi is crying. She said you yelled at her." "I didn't yell. I just wanted -" "She said you cussed at her." "I didn't cuss at her. I just said I want my damn coffee." "Sir, we don't appreciate that kind of language." "OK, look, I'm sorry. Really. I just wanted to buy a cup of coffee. I don't want to answer a checklist of questions. If I wanted a doughnut, I'd order one." "You want a doughnut?" "No, I was -" "Sprinkled, frosted or chocolate?" "I don't want a doughnut." "Cream-filled centers? They just came out of the oven." "No, you misunderstood. I don't want a doughnut. I was just trying to make a point. You can't buy a six-pack of beer at the grocery store without some bagger asking, "Where's the party?" Seems like you can't buy anything without somebody trying to sell you something else, or act like your buddy, or try to sign you up for a credit card, or -" "I'd be glad to accept your credit-card application. You will get 10 percent off your first box of doughnuts. What is your phone number?" "I'm not giving you that." "Then I can't give you a credit card." "Good, I don't want one." "Then you'll pay full price for the doughnuts." "I don't want any doughnuts. What is this — Who's on First?" "We have a special on Abbott and Costello CDs." "No! This is ridiculous. You're going to cost me my job." "We're hiring. Want an application?" "No!" "You get free coffee if you work here." "I don't want free coffee." "What do you want, then?" "Coffee. Like I said before. Just a plain old cup of coffee." "I just offered you free coffee." "I don't want free coffee." "You'd rather pay?" "No, but I don't want to work here in order to get it." "Fine. I'll get you the coffee. That'll be $1.50." "OK." "Need a receipt?" "No, keep the change." "Thanks. Those extra 50 cents will put my kids through college." "I'm more worried about my own kids." "Would you like to buy some health insurance? A burial policy for yourself? Would you like to save some money on car insurance?" "No, just the coffee. Please." "It's still brewing." "I changed my mind. I don't want anything. I just want to get out of here." "Please pull forward then." "I can't pull forward. There are cars blocking my path." "I apologize for the delay. When you get to the window, we will give you a coupon good for a free cup of coffee on your next visit. All you have to do is take a few minutes and fill out our customer-service survey. Have a nice day." (2 Comments |Comment on this)

3:12 am	it was just a matter of time......(its no lie, listen to the sound clip) HES GONNA GET YA!!!!!!!!!!! KNBC-TV ELLENSBURG, Wash. - A character in some copies of an Elmo potty training book has an unusual message that you may not want your toddler to hear. The Baby David character in "Potty Time With Elmo" says, "Uh oh, who wants to die?" when a read-along button is pushed, NBC News reported. He's supposed to say, "Uh oh, who has to go?" The publisher said the sound was recorded correctly, but some consumers hear a different phrase due to compression of the digital audio file. Crystal Gillum, of Ellensburg, Wash., said she bought the book for her 2-year-old daughter for Christmas. "It really bothered me, and it creeped me out," she said. The publisher, Publications International, doesn't know how many defective books are out there. Customers can return the books to the store where they were purchased, or they can call (800) 595-8484 for a free replacement. The book is becoming a collector's item, and is being sold on eBay.

2:50 am	WTF!!!! some people are not worthy of the death penalty. just send them to jail and slap 'em with a wet noodle every day!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LEAVENWORTH, Kan. - The business cards got a response, but surely not what their owner had in mind when he had them printed up. They came to the attention of Leavenworth police, who used them to make a drug arrest last week. Sylvester J. Williams, 21, of Leavenworth, was charged Monday with possessing crack cocaine with the intent to sell it, Maj. Patrick Kitchens of the Leavenworth Police Department said. Kitchens said Williams remained in custody Wednesday on $75,000 bond. He said police had heard for some time that Williams had been selling drugs in the area. "Then we heard that he was handing out business cards," the officer said. "In the course of our investigation we were fortunate to come up with one, and we gave him a call." Kitchens said the business card had an image of what appeared to be an alarm clock being hit by a boxing glove and said: "For a quick hit on time call the boss." "When he answered, we agreed to buy some crack from him, we went up there, and we arrested him," Kitchens said. The arrest was made Friday. "It makes our job considerably easier when they advertise and let us know where to get ahold of them," Kitchens said. Copyright 2005 The Associated Press. (Comment on this)

2:32 am	FUCKIN' A I NEED TO GET LAID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! no wonder i yell at people LONDON - Forget pretending you are talking to one person or concentrating on a single point in the audience — having sex is good way to calm nerves before giving a speech or presentation. But Stuart Brody, a psychologist at the University of Paisley in Scotland, said it has to be full sexual intercourse to get the best results. He studied nearly 50 men and women who recorded their sexual activities for two weeks and analyzed its impact on their blood pressure levels when under acute stress, such as when giving a speech. Brody discovered that the volunteers who had sexual intercourse were the least stressed and had blood pressure levels that returned to normal more quickly than people who engaged in other types of sex. But people who had abstained from sex had the highest blood pressure response to stress. Even after taking into account stress due to work or other factors, the range of responses to stress were best explained by sexual behavior. “The effects are not attributable simply to the short-term relief afforded by orgasm but rather, endure for at least a week,” Brody told New Scientist magazine said on Wednesday. He believes that the release of the so-called “pair bonding” hormone oxytocin might explain the calming effect. Copyright 2006 Reuters (2 Comments |Comment on this)
