MySpace ain’t all that

Criminal Records started using MySpace for the comics newsletter, so I joined MySpace. I know it’s the latest and greatest thing on the ‘net, but I really hate it. It’s full of wankers and adverts.

It started as a place for musicians to post samples and tour dates and suddenly about a year ago, the teenagers found it. Now it’s the hottest blog spot on the internet and I hate it.

I guess if you’ve got nothing else or if all your friends are on there it’s worth the hassle, but I find it clunky, ad laden and hard to use. Eh, I guess I’m just used to my little corner of the web!

I have to say something!!

That bitch Cynthia McKinney is at it again. Gods I hate being in her district! It’s embarrassing. She’s an embarrassment to Democrats, Blacks, Whites and the whole state of Georgia.

I don’t know how anyone black or white can look at her and her father’s legacies and honestly think that she is an effective Representative. WTF? If black people are really that gullible, then I guess we here in Atlanta (or the ATL if you’re a rapper) are screwed! She was booted from office by those of us in her ever-changing district that are sick to death of every little thing being racial. So the guard didn’t recognize your fat ass? Big deal!! Do they have to memorize the hundreds (thousands?) of government people that go through the gates every day? I mean, fer chrissakes! Yah, right Cynthia, it’s just YOU.

I detest McKinney and all she represents. She represents the worst of black culture and the worst racism of anyone in public office. This is not the first time she’s bludgeoned a guard and then yelled racism and I’ll bet it won’t be the last if she’s re-elected. She’s currently under investigation for misuse of her funding, but I guess that’s accepted by her constituents as well. After all, she did use the funds to bring Isaac Hayes to her political fund raising party. It’s disgusting.

I look forward to voting against her yet again. Now, if we could just get the majority of this district to agree that she’s useless and get rid of her. Riiiight.

I hope someone in her office finds this post. Not that it matters, cuz, you know, I’m WHITE and therefore do not count in this district. Feh. I have got to scan the offensive postcard she sent out a while back. It’s entitled “Meet me in the neighbor HOOD!” and has NO white people at all in the collage on the front. Oh, but she’s not a racist because she’s black. Riiiight.

Party shout-outs!

Ok, it’s Wednesday already and I’m just getting to the party details! Busy: uumm YAH!

So, I’d like to thank everyone for coming out for our 2nd Anniversary party! It was a fabulous party with just enough food and just enough booze. There was so much conversation that I couldn’t keep up!

As I mentioned in my last post, I have a bizarre party story. We all stayed up way too late; the time change really messed with us. It was about 3am when there was a knock on the screen door. We all looked at each other then I got up to see who it was.

There was this young black guy standing there grinning like a ‘possum, asking what’s up and do I have a light? I was startled, to say the least, that a black guy would traipse up a driveway to a white person’s house – much less at 3am!! Hell, in this neighborhood, he’s taking a chance at a black person’s home!!

So, after I picked up my jaw from the floor, I said, yah, I got a light and fetched the lighter. By then all the menfolk had gathered on the porch with me and this guy. He’s still grinning and asking what we’re up to and can he join the party. I’m stunned, but determined to find out what the hell he’s up to, so I ask him his name. He says Moo or something and I said, no, your REAL name and he says Amos. Huh. Right. So, this goes on while the menfolk are freaking out that I’m talking to this kid. He’s obviously crunk or something because his speech is slurred. Finally I tire of the game and I tell him that he needs to motor. He kind of stands around a minute more then wanders off the porch and across the yard to the street. He wanders over the hill and away.

We are all standing around flabbergasted that the guy had the guts to come up to the house in the middle of the night. The boys were certain he was looking for trouble, but I think he was just high and looking for something to do. Heh, crashing a white party is certainly one way to live on the edge in this neighborhood!! LOL

It was beyond bizarre and after that we all decided that we should probably crash after that much weirdness.

Kudos to the couple who had too much fun in the office after everyone crashed. Teehee! I enjoyed the show immensely! (Yes, I’m a voyeur, but this was listening. What is that called?? Whatever it is, it’s still perverted and I like doing it. :-> )

It was a great party and we thank those who brought gifties and nibblies. We can’t wait for the next one! It’ll be the middle of May for Nick’s birthday, which is May 10. I’m thinking May 13 for his party. Look for the evite!

Pollen!!

OMFG the pollen has exploded here in the last 48 hours. We cleaned the house for the party Saturday and today I came to the Mac to find it completely coated with a pollen layer. ICK!

I was standing on the deck looking for a bird and a CLOUD of pollen came off the privet and blew over me. I felt the particles hit my contacts. Again, GROSS! It’s much worse this year than it has been in while.

So, the party was really really great! We had a great time and I want to thank everyone for coming out and bringing gifties! :-)

More on the party later, I have a bizarre party story to relay! But for now, I’ve got to go clean up the heinous mess from the party and the pollen. More later!

Hyatt Downtown RAWKS!

I made our reservation for DragonCon last week via the 800#. It never works out well because those people don’t work in the local Hyatt and they don’t see all the actual booking info, they only see part of it. I had to book 4 nights rather than 3, etc. etc. So, today I called and talked to Internal Reservations, which is the actual reservation desk at the Hyatt Downtown and not only did I get the res changed to 3 nights, but the Reservation Manager remembered me from last year and he gave me a FREE UPGRADE to a suite!! W00t!

So we’re booked into a suite on the THIRD floor for the Con! How bad ass is that!

Yah, last year, we had some issues (see this entry) with the safe in our room and our checkout so the Res Manager told me to ring him this year for a free upgrade and he did it! I can’t believe it! I gotta say, the Hyatt’s Customer Service has always been good to me. They do what they say and they are really nice, too. It’s a breath of fresh air when most “service” these days is surly and uncooperative. I just love the Hyatt! :-)
