Last night a guy came in to our building. My bud lived in this building a floor upstairs of mine. We were walking from buddy's unit to mine through the stairs and when I opened the door to the stairway, I didn't know the dude was sitting behind the door on the floor shooting some crap there. He scared the crap out of me sheesh! I think I might have kicked his leg actually. I screamed. Buddy ran to the front to see what happened and the dude murmured he was tying his shoe lace. Yeah right. I went to grad school too dude.
This chemical consumer then went to the other dude that lived two doors away from me and held a sandwich shaped tissue wrap in his hand on the way back when buddy and I went to grap a beer in 107. I called the manager this morning and complained for no security guard at the front desk for an hour with the door opened last night. The mental ward's management is too busy to listen to my complaint.
[Photo from ILoveMyUrbanLife.com] My door is beat up. I have no phone jack, no Internet. My neighbors are convicted murderers, retired / practicing drug dealers and crazy Russian ex-girlfriend of one of theirs who still sleeps in the building somewhere with her 7-years-old son telling me about their affair in tears. I had a crush on her Russian boy who told me about the migrating birds all flying to Downtown lately though. I was just afraid his mom would offer me her son so I kind of took off after slightly socializing with the boy, cuz the security guard did tell me in the past, in Rosslyn Lofts, there were times when people would just drop infants off in other people's units and disappear. I don't know what I'm gonna do if suddenly I have a 7-years-old Russian son. I think I might really just keep him and take him to watch birds with me everyday, you know? I already have a pair of binoculars anyway. And I did have a wonderful time watching the pelicans in Pismo Beach. There're just so many big rocks and cliffs where the pelicans and seals just hung out. They're so cute and free. Oh god, speaking of that, I love watching birds. It's so relaxing.
Why would I live in Downtown instead of Pismo Beach? I think it might be for Angelique and the pain concentrated I can witness everyday here. Just to celebrate for that I'm not shooting crap. Just to celebrate for that I'm not thrown off the fire drill from the 11th floor. Just to celebrate that I left the jerk behind and embraced the insanity of life. When I see the birds in the sky in Downtown and my neighbor's kid's face smiling, telling me about them, it kind of worths the ridiculous crap I put up with.
The other day, I opened my door at 6:30AM and instead saw a yellow bath mesh and some half-full sample-sized bottles of bath products there. [scratch head] What the fuck? Did somebody take a shower right outside of my door on the hallway when I was imitating Ella Fitzgerald on DVD at night?! I think that could be a flirt. Nah, just kiddin'.

Nothing Compares to You
I was working in East L.A. It's as poor as Downtown but the visibility of such is not as obvious. It's a different junkie and crime culture out there.
I was pumping gas today and a woman, with the pores on her face all eaten up by drugs already, came to me and asked for some bus change. When did I start being able to identify the junkies' faces? I think it started when I met my Cuban drug dealer neighbor on wheelchair next door. He always opens his door so I see him everyday. His entire person, is eaten by drugs. He calls me the Asian bitch when he talks to his girlfriend in his apartment. I can hear it.
So going back to the woman in the gas station. She had a sweet voice, was blonde, in her 40s maybe, equally torn as I. I was pumping the regular class with my door wide open at 5PM, and playing Sinead O'Conner's Nothing Compares to You very fucking loud that everybody hated. I told her I had no money. She said she really liked the music. So, for a minute, not for any reason in particular, I looked at her and she looked at my car, we spent some time together listening to Nothing Compares to You. Two broken women, one song. Sinead is haunting. Will everybody please stop reminding me of him?
It's been so lonely without you here
like a bird without a song
nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling
tell me baby where did I go wrong?
I could put my arms round every boy I see
but they'd only remind me of you
I think she was beautiful. I don't know what happened to her. But she was probably born blonde and pretty. And now, I don't know, she's probably sleeping with strangers to make a buck to buy crack. She probably met the first guy that broke her cherry when she was younger, laid on his chest like in heaven like every girl does, stared at his light brown tiny nipples thinking they could build a beautiful house and raise some beautiful kids together too. When she went to bed in her parent's house's bedroom in Little Rock, she probably thought of her knight in shining armor wondering what he was doing too. She probably thought the pores on her face and her pussy would stay tight for as long as she wanted cuz she's so pretty too. She probably thought she was willing to do anything for him too. She probably felt that was the greatest love of all too. He probably told her he loved her too... Argh, I'm running out of breath...
And tonight, a few hours after I met her when I'm sipping this nasty Umani Ronchi Montepulciano D'abruzzo 2004 alone in the the Banquette that tastes like ketchup mixed with hydrogen peroxide before my gig, she probably is staying in hell for another night too.
I have no pride
If somebody put a tape recorder in my psycho-therapy room, here's what it'll hear:
Downtown Chick: Shrink, I have a question.
Shrink: What's your question Downtown Chick?
Downtown Chick: Why does my love marry a virgin instead of me? I thought he liked making love to me.
Shrink: I don't know him, so I really don't know why he marries a virgin. Maybe he likes someone more submissive?
Downtown Chick: I'm submissive! What're you talking about? I let him go all the way in my butt! That was so big! You know how big it was for a size 4 girl's butt?! I'll never forget that for the rest of my life!
Shrink: But you also have your own opinions about everything else from homelessness in Downtown to advocating democrazy in Burma, don't you?
Downtown Chick: Well, no, not really, I was the cuddliest little kitten. I did everything he wanted. I was there only when he wanted to see me and shut myself off when he didn't call me. I even told him I would hook him up with my girlfriends and have sex with other men to entertain him when we're talking dirty about other people in bed. He was God. Come on, who goes that far for a man except me?
Shrink: But you're still not submissive.
Downtown Chick: I AM SUBMISSIVE!
Shrink: Did you hear yourself?
Okay, time to go to bed, alone, again.

2004 ADELAIDA--Paso Robles
Sorry, no photo. I could have taken my chunky dinosaur Sony digital camera out and shot a picture of the half bottle by the candle light but I didn't hehe... I'm not a food blogger... Just trying to make a journal off some good experience with my dinner companion. But this's a great one. Had it in Cambria. Super nice aroma, full-bodied, smooth, not dry, fruity, rich flavor but is not thick and heavy. I always love full-bodied even with vegetarian vietnamese rolls, so this can go with really anything for me.

Catch me if you can
Somebody is trying to find out who I am. The stats's climbing.
It started this Sunday. Somebody reported me with some stupid excuse just to force me to come out from the bushes. A chain of very fishy conversation with the domain registrar asking about my identity was initiated, threatening to close this domain down. I was confused. I was dumb enough to believe it and complied. Luckily, an hour later, my bud raised the question of that was my host or a person faking my host. I immediately kicked around and backed it up. Problem solved. No one caught me so far. Poof. Almost! Gotta be more careful. The guard's trying to take me back to the asylum… I'm not going back there… Those wackos're gonna make me exercise, eat healthy and think in my right mind so I can't talk crazy anymore…
Who's trying get Downtown Chick? Is that another downtown chick? Maybe a downtown dude? Hm… Know what? He'll never be able to track me down.

Lasagna, foie gras and sangria. Now this's life...
I wanna introduce my hero Bob of Foggia for today's Italian lunch. His homemade deep-dish lasagne with New York ricotta, mozzarella, provolone and parmesan cheese is too good... I think my friendship with my French dinner companion was seriously challenged when he asked me what dishes I wanted him to make and I said lasagne and tiramisu. As much as we successfully made our first chocolate soufflé to celebrate for our dysfunctional codependency on Downtown-Chick-invented-Chinese + French food and wine, Italian dishes still always live at a corner in my heart... Especially Bob's! I think those popular Italian joints like Celestino, Santorini, Mi Piace, Buca Di Beppo, Louise can all just close down if Bob happens to be competing in the same area. But you know where this Italian guy lands? Lakewood! Crazy! That's how some Hong Kong girl in East L.A. would get to know about his place. By the way Louise really makes me want to throw up.
I'm really a little too pampered with fantastic food these days. Last Friday, dinner companion and I went to the beach. He got some radish, crab meat, foie gras, cheese, bread and champagne and we ate it under the stars on Newport Beach. The foie gras was like good sex I think. You know what I mean. No need to say more. You'll never forget it. I don't want to go into detail how it's made and don't plan to have it again in particular but it was memorable, just like a past beautiful love.
That was good time but that's another story. To continue recapping my lucky chow week, the next day, Wikimond took me to Ciudad. I had been to Ciudad years ago but I didn't remember how the food tasted like anymore. The little tiny dishes of everything were not bad but the best was really their sangria in a late summer night. I think we both had 3 or 4 glasses. It was amazing near the patio heater at night. I had so much fun with my encyclopedia friend. Seriously, did Wikimond do 10 degrees in college? Is there anything under the sun that he doesn't know about? I think this German guy should be the President of the United States.
Dinner companion and I are heading to San Luis Obispo this weekend for the Hearst Castle. I heard I should wear flip flops. I bought a Hepburn style podka dots coctail dress when it's on sale... Oh well.

"The fuck" in my binoculars
I saw Grass-eater two nights ago. He came to the mental hospital I went to. I did not even know he was coming because he did not write back after I told him that was the only place I could think of where I could forgive him.
I did not forgive him, because he put nothing in my bowl. I wanted a little sugar, or salt, or anything, but he poured me nothing. The "mediation" was unsuccessful. But the love of my life, when I first saw his face, the first time, or the 100th time, felt the same. It felt the same as the first time he kissed me in Golden Gopher. The man of my dream. The part of me, that still loved him and retained memory of him, was devastated. "She" was a so dead person.
I decided to therefore buy a pair of binoculars. I would no longer love anybody the same way I loved him for the rest of my life. I would however observe, just like other sickos in the old buildings, the rise and fall of love of these people in Downtown. When people love one another, and when they no longer love, and separate. And if this gets too poetic for a crazy woman's blog, you need to understand, comedians have feelings too. Plus, I'm only a part-time wacko. As much as I enjoy being the "funny girl", I do have a reliable car, a real job, loving supportive real friends, parents still married and loving each other, and perfect health. I have already deleted my early email communications with Grass-eater, but he did quoted "Your soul is oftentimes a battlefield, upon which your reason and your judgment wage war against passion and your appetite." when we first met. Kahlil Gibran was right although the quoter however was in question. Sometimes, I happen to appreciate love feelings, and enjoy voyeurism.
So I have been ebay-window-shopping for a good pair of binoculars. I think "observing"or what you can call "stalking" is more acceptable in Europe than the U.S. Think about Kieślowski's characters in Red and Amelie. Hitchcock's Rear Window period is already so gone for the U.S. We are so suppressedly interested in others' lives where there is almost no way we could know about them. As much as Grass-eater was a completely gentle, nice, behaving, appropriate Mid-western gentleman, he would fuck my ass so well the first time we casually met until I could no longer stand his x-large sized sex. This's the world we are living in. Unlike the Japanese businessmen who put their fingers in the pussy of the schoolgirls or secretaries under their skirts in the subway, who immediately show up as the conservative businessmen / husbands kind after the train stops, it is just simply more fashionable for the American men to appear "open-minded", "accepting" in a "diverse" environment, then fuck the smoking hot Asian mistress really well but marry the wife who doesn't fuck them. This's such a great healthy relationship culture in L.A. we're living in with prejudice and superstitions disguised as normality.
I had not been fucking quite a number of guys for a while already by telling them that I did not like sex. I'm not sure about other women with issues but in my nut case, I'll definitely be more interested in watching other people having sex with my future binoculars than having sex – with those men that I don't give a fuck. You can't argue against that, it really was true that literally I didn't give a fuck to and about them. As much as I don't want to admit, sometimes, for a number of reasons, we date guys we hate fucking, especially when we're very fucked up ourselves, if you understand what the fuck I'm talking about. Oh, don't I sound familiar?

On drugs
[Photo by Francine Orr, L.A. Times] Last night some dude told me the Rosslyn Lofts used to be under the police custody because there were too many people smuggling drugs and committing crimes. The security guard of that building at that time also told me how much of a hell it was when he was working there. He also said there're times in the past the police would actually push people to some of those hotels to do drugs so they didn't have to do it in the streets.
I'm thinking Edith, Billie Holiday, many people and I all have lived in these hotels at certain point of our lives. I can even feel them in the air. Yes, I can. They talk to me every night through the night breezes when I get home. The suffering spirits and myself are all neighbors.
When you hear Edith's singing, when she lounged that "Quand…", it was like there was an enormous stomach of air from men that used her, hurt her then left her she breathed out although she's only 4'8". She had never experienced the happiness the woman in the song was having about meeting the man of her dream and spending her life with him. That was only a fallacy. For a woman in despair, singing about perfect love is definitely a torture to her soul. No wonder she had to shoot morphine.
I read one of Billie's greatest performances was her recording of I'm a Fool to Want You. She came out from the studio red-eyed, and her version became so unquestionably the best. It's natural. Just the pain from being raped, prostituting then being duped by some aholes again and again already exceeded the quest for the love that was never available to the woman in the song. Of course she's the best. You tell me, who can handle so much pain without shooting heroin?
Even I am on the edge of contemplating death at some point because the idea of injection's just plain scary. My skin happens to glow and feel supple. I'll never get close to any needles. But as much as I know I will always live, I am tempted to die instantly sometimes. When the pain is too overwhelming, not just a bit of it, not just an abstract amount of it, but actually as much as it becomes enough to blow my consciousness up when I remember how I was looking at the models in MOCA, felt Grass-eater's lips were just next to mine, slightly turned around, they touched and we smiled at each other like a couple. How he held my hand when we're walking off Grand Avenue and he had to stop at the middle and kissed me on the lips. Then he whispered to me in the night air that it was unbelievable how much he felt from it just from kissing me. And now he is getting married to a woman that was always a girlfriend the entire time he was seeing me of which I was unaware. Of course I know such a scumbag is not worth my life. But the pain drowns me. I cannot breath. It blinds me. I cannot see. It crushes me. I'm in pieces. It's almost like I can feel the pain all the junkies in these old buildings around me suffer now, the alive and the deceased all these years. I wish somebody can just shoot me.

"Baby, this's my heart, you can cut it. I love you, forever."
I had an emotional injury earlier this year. That's why I've been cognitively paralyzed for quite a while and in recovery. What happened? Well, metaphorically speaking, a Chevron truck of the biggest tank of gas that you'd even shiver in your cheap Japanese coupe when it got so close on the 710 crashed into my Hello Kitty Honda Accord and blew my brain up. Ever since then, what I do everyday are just work and write.
Of course, I'm not gonna write screenplay. That's too provincial for a disturbed, crazy woman like me. Everybody in L.A. writes screenplay. So what. Instead, I only write stuff that get men that broke my heart in trouble. So now I'm writing a kick-ass x-rated love story about Grass-eater as my top-priority project every night. I stare at the street where he kissed me, his trees, his lamp poles, his open lots, right in front of his home, sip some cheap beer with almost no food, and write. You think Bukowski is tragic-cool? Not even close. That dude's just a drunk fuck. Wait until you see how a mentally disabled woman on her $8 Ikea folding chair with Miller beer in hand writes, THEN publishes it. As much as I know nothing I write is libel or invasion of privacy and Grass-eater will have no case, I have asked my lawyer friends, read about them and am prepared that not even until next life, but just soon after I publish it, I may see his lawyer's letter in my mailbox and meet him again in court. Woo! I'm gonna see my used-to-be knight in shining armor again in the U.S. Supreme Court! How new! I've never been sued before. :-D
Why do I have to do that instead of let it go? Cuz I'm sick of being silenced. How many times have mom and dad and these men tried to drive me out of my nut head so they can take over it? Since the moment I sat on the couch in the model unit in this building, read through the terms and signed the lease of this apartment in Downtown and my own head after Grass-eater scorned me, I make no deal with anybody that shuts me off again. I have my own place, and my own head, and they are both under rent control either in the sense of the City of L.A. or my emotional security, so no one can kick me out as long as I pay rent. Ever heard of the story of Echo and Narcissus in Greek mythology? She was punished for talking too much. Know what? I'm SO going to talk about grass eating all out aloud! Instead of repeating the last few words others say like how Echo is cursed to, I fuck that narcissist dude's brains out AND write about him. He may only see his own reflection on the river. He may only run away from me as far as he can because he is frightened of the burning flame in me, but I know so well that he is going to remember how it was like when my beautiful naked body was in his bed every morning he wakes up hard and the intense writing I do that he dares not even read. This's not even feminism. This's simply hysteria.

What a wonderful world
Edith Piaf said she was more afraid of solitude than death.
To live without love is more tragic than to die.
I think I'm much luckier than she. I am surrounded by things that love me. When I blog, Blogger's and Wordpress's "auto-save" looks after me and regularly hits "save" for me every other minute without me even asking for it. I think their engineers must love me. My neighbors also play their reggae and ghetto hip hop so loud which I believe they must be doing that to invite me to their crack parties. It also makes me blushed. The buses also say "hi" with their transmission noises when they pass my street even late at night. Of course, my neighbors opposite to my building give me a morning kiss with their eyes through the windows every morning when I wake up naked. And my sexy Filipino receptionist gives me a "hate look" every morning I step into my office. I'm sure she means it well just to celibrate for another new day fresh out from rehab for me. And oh don't forget the Latino teenagers scandalously soaking-wet-kissing, grapping, snuggling like they're about to have sex right in the street on Broadway, I'm sure they are just showing me how passionate a man and a woman can get about each other and so… Ever heard of using affirmations to assure our confidence and faith in life? "I am living in love. Everybody loves me. I'm never alone."
The colors of a rainbow…..so pretty ..in the sky
Are also on the faces…..of people ..going by
I see friends shaking hands…..saying.. how do you do
They're really saying……I love you.
I hear babies cry…… I watch them grow
They'll learn much more…..than I'll never know
And I think to myself …..what a wonderful world

Eggplant and pork, on choy, hot chocolate and croissants
I actually cooked this weekend! Indeed, I had almost never cooked in the past 14 years as I can recall. But I managed to remember how Mom taught me to cook everything with her universal paste: corn starch, salt, sugar, soy sause and put some minced pork, eggplant together and fried some on choy. This's pretty incredible I have to brag about.
Dinner companion and I went to watch La Vie en Rose after I finished cooking. Aw, that's heavy. I could not speak. For a personal reason. I did not know who Edith Piaf was. Grass-eater sent me a CD of her songs after he told me about her. I wish that did not happen. Dinner companion asked me what I thought about the movie. I really could not speak a word. He looked into my eyes and asked me what happened. I was scared. I was haunted. I told him about the "shit" I had been carrying on my back all these years. He told me it's okay. Everybody made mistakes. We had my Hong Kong dinner at almost ten o'clock after that movie of two hours.
Hot chocolate and croissants for breakfast. I was a little girl. I had cooking chocolate added to my croissant. I didn't even know cooking chocolate is different from the usual. I'm impressed dinner companion could tell me about this pack he bought it from Spain of 80% cacao. 80% cacao?
Cantaloupe, wine, cheese, and more...
Aw I had some cantaloupe last night... There had not been cantaloupe for quite some time. But like everything else, when the karma is ripen, things happen.
I had never had cantaloupe over Port wine before. It tastes very special. A little bit bitter to me. But drinking it alone is a bliss.
Never had I enjoyed the cantaloupe, the wine, the cheese, the very complicated aroma, the mixed sensations when I slowed down, contemplated things just the way they were and allowed myself to stop doubting life and wondered how we could just enjoy the very simple success of just living as a human being, our jobs, our families, our health, our passion, our vision, our cheese...

FLORESVILLE -- As of 4:29 p.m., Jan. 12, Wilson County Attorney Russell Wilson has withdrawn his suit against Floresville City Manager Andy Joslin. A copy of Wilson�s notice of nonsuit without prejudice can be downloaded from the link below.
Wilson filed the suit Nov. 7, alleging that Floresville�s city budgets contained �material misstatements� about the city�s true financial standing. As a result of meetings with Floresville City Attorney Louis Rosenberg and former Floresville City Auditor P. Malcolm Gulley, Wilson said he believes the errors have been corrected.
�I�m pleased that the City got its bookkeeping issues resolved, and that the revenue numbers shown to the public now reflect the amount actually received.� Wilson said.
Gulley reiterated to the Wilson County News that the numbers reported as actual income and expenditures in the city�s fiscal year 2012 budget worksheets reflected unadjusted totals. These totals, he said, likely were generated due to an error with the city�s accounting software.

Editor's Note: This was written by the Ebyline staff, a site that connects publishers with the right freelancers for their work. Check them out on twitter: @Ebyline and on Google+. You're a good writer, and you know it. If given a keyboard and Internet connection, you could craft ingenious articles in no time, but the only problem is –you're not getting the work you need. Sitting in front of your computer all day, twiddling your thumbs, checking Facebook, and getting lost on the 'top 10s' of Buzzfeed isn't going to pay the bills! You need to get your name out there, and [Read more…]
3 Essential Tips to Stand Out as a Writer
http://www.freelancewritinggigs.com/2014/01/3-essential-tips-stand-writer/Don't Forget Grammar in Your Social Media Posts
http://www.freelancewritinggigs.com/2013/08/dont-forget-grammar-in-your-social-media-posts/Marketers break grammar rules with catchy slogans and tag lines all the time. Unfortunately, those creative liberties have a nasty habit of bleeding into social media posts and updates – a place they simply don't belong. Spelling and grammar errors in social media posts affect your credibility, making it look like you don't know what you're talking about. That's the last thing a business should portray to potential customers – or a writer to readers. If you use social media to advertise your product or services, we encourage you to take a quick read of the grammar points highlighted below [Read more…]
Patience and the Long-Distance Blogger
http://www.freelancewritinggigs.com/2013/03/patience-and-the-long-distance-blogger/Blogging offers writers great rewards. We get to share our words with others. We educate and entertain. If we're really lucky, our blogs generate income or interest from book agents. To do any of this, however, you need readers, and in the early days of any blog, readers are hard to come by.
Use Your Writer's Website to Receive Steady Freelance Jobs
http://www.freelancewritinggigs.com/2013/02/use-your-writers-website-to-receive-steady-freelance-jobs/If you're like most writers, you enjoy the part of your job that entails putting pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard). You're probably, however, somewhat less fond of marketing. Many of us squirm at the idea of cold calling or attending networking events. That's why it's so important to have a strong professional website. Once it is up and running, it can bring you a steady stream of referrals with little or no further effort you your part. These are features that will help your website attract customers
Talk Your Way to a Job
http://www.freelancewritinggigs.com/2013/02/talk-your-way-to-a-job/The popularity of social media in today's job market has made everybody believe they can talk their way to a job. It gives them an excuse to visit their favorite social media site and say they are doing it as a part of their job search. While freelancers and job seekers can find jobs on social media sites, it needs to be handled carefully to be successful. When looking for freelance writing gigs, it is important to let people know you are open to receiving new clients. One of the benefits of social media is the people you are associated [Read more…]
Corporate Blogging – It's Just Smart Business!
http://www.freelancewritinggigs.com/2011/01/corporate-blogging-its-just-smart-business/Recent reports and surveys are showing more business owners are getting plugged into blogging and social media as a means to connect with potential online clients and have a little extra marketing. With blogging, these two targets are easily obtainable – that's considering you do everything 'by the book.' Blogging has proven itself to be a great method of spreading the word potential consumers and clients about your products or services. It's also proven to be a great medium to connect business owners with their existing customers in a very "hands on" approach to customer service. The technology behind blogging [Read more…]
10 Interesting Social Media & Blogging Stats
http://www.freelancewritinggigs.com/2011/01/10-interesting-social-media-blogging-stats/I recently came across a collection of stats as they pertain to social media and blogging. I found it to be a powerful collection of information to have. Especially while reflecting on old blog posts and considering future topics, social media goals and methods in which I can increase my traffic. With this kind of knowledge you can customize a long-term agenda that will fit in line with some of the current trends. When it comes to blogging and social media – now is not the time to get left behind. Social networking usage among seniors 65 and older grew [Read more…]
Everything is Optional
http://www.freelancewritinggigs.com/2010/09/everything-is-optional/I'm here to tell you that there's no law requiring you to blog twice per day. There's no rule demanding a professionally designed website. You can live without Twitter and Facebook if you'd like. You don't need to comment on this post to show that you're a part of this community in hopes that will somehow put money in your pocket.
Everything is optional.
The Facebook Fan Page Saga Kicks Off
http://www.freelancewritinggigs.com/2010/05/the-facebook-fan-page-saga-kicks-off/In a previous post I said I wasn't too on board with the whole making a separate Facebook page for your blog (or pages for your many blogs as the case may be). However, after Facebook introduced "Like" vs. "Fan" I felt better about pages in general and finally created my very own blog page. Yikes. Why the change of heart? One was because of the "Like" issue – something about the term fan rubbed me the wrong way. Secondly, I thought it was time for a page because my blog's page views have shot up and I'm writing there [Read more…]
(Mis)Communication in the Social Media Age
http://www.freelancewritinggigs.com/2010/05/miscommunication-in-the-social-media-age/I miss the pre-social media world sometimes, back then ignorance was bliss. Communicating Back Then Growing up in the 70′s meant no cell phones or Netbooks. We sent all our correspondences via snail mail and any phone calls came to the house or office. Most of us had one phone in our homes, but some of the more well off families had extensions upstairs, and even separate phones for the kids. No one ever called during dinner hours or after 9:00. We received our news from newspapers, magazines or one of a half dozen television stations and always had to [Read more…]
Introducing the Like button at Facebook!
http://www.freelancewritinggigs.com/2010/04/introducing-the-like-button-at-facebook/Just a quick heads up. Today, Facebook decided that "Like" is a better wording choice than "Become a Fan." Interesting news because we JUST discussed this here; with me and others noting that, "The wording, "Fan" is off-putting." In fact this wording is one major reason I haven't felt compelled to create a separate page for any of my sites. Currently I only have a me page. What Facebook says… "Introducing the Like button – Starting today people will be able to connect with your Page by clicking "Like" rather than "Become a Fan." We hope this action will feel [Read more…]

How to Use Twitter Lists to Find Freelance Writers – and Freelance Writing Jobs
http://www.freelancewritinggigs.com/2010/04/how-to-use-twitter-lists-to-find-freelance-writers-and-freelance-writing-jobs/Twitter lists have me torn. On one hand, they seem like a popularity contest with the most popular Tweeters landing on the most lists. However, at second glance they become something a lot more useful; directories listing freelance writers and freelance writing clients. Honestly, I don't know many folks who use the various Twitter lists each day. I ignored them until recently, but finally realized they were valuable both for those looking for work and for clients looking to hire freelance writers. What are Twitter Lists and Why Should I Care? Twitter lists are user-generated lists of people and businesses [Read more…]
3 Ways to Use Social Media to Boost Your Client Base
http://www.freelancewritinggigs.com/2010/03/10-ways-to-use-social-media-to-boost-your-client-base/If you've been following me for a while you know I believe there are no right or wrong ways to use social media, and often complain of "social media police" telling us how we should Tweet or use Facebook, However, that doesn't mean I don't believe we shouldn't use social media to give our careers a boost. There may be no exact rules, but there are certainly tried and true methods for using the social networks and other social media tools to achieve success. What I like about using online tools for networking and landing clients is how they're so [Read more…]

Should you separate social networking from your friends & family?
http://www.freelancewritinggigs.com/2010/03/should-you-separate-social-networking-from-your-friends-family/Darren had an interesting post up last month at Problogger; maybe you caught it – Dear FaceBook Friends, I'm De-Friending Most of You [It's Not You, It's Me]. The post was his public rational as to why soon he'd be deleting all his work contacts from his Facebook account. Darren's not the only one doing this either. Lately I've seen many folks creating their own Facebook fan pages, Twitter accounts and other work-personalized social network accounts that allow them to specifically network with work pals and contacts vs. personal real-life friends and family. Here's an example; say your name is [Read more…]

http://www.freelancewritinggigs.com/2010/03/are-you-abusing-your-online-friends/Does this sound familiar? You're an aspiring blogger looking to make yourself known in a popular niche. All the blogging books and blogs tell you in order to do this you have to network heavily including commenting at other top blogs to bring in traffic. You do. You don't just comment you become THE top commenter. You add your opinion to every single post and even drop some links if you can get away with it. As soon as your blog starts picking up momentum you forget that other blog. You don't come by and comment or participate in community [Read more…]
40 Lessons Learned in Ten Years as a Freelance Writer

Don't jump into it blind: When I'm asked to give tips for new writers, my first tip is always to research before beginning. It's not enough for a writer to wake up one day and say, "I know. I think I'll write. Yeah…that's it." [Read more…]

The Freelance Writer's Guide to Facebook
http://www.freelancewritinggigs.com/2009/11/the-freelance-writers-guide-to-facebook/When my social media clients ask me the difference between Facebook and Twitter, I tell them it's all about communication; Facebook is the extended family picnic while Twitter is a rock concert. Both Twitter and Facebook are important networking tools, tools to use to build relationships online, while knocking them out of the ballpark by taking them offline. To be honest, I was reluctant to embrace Facebook. I wondered if it was a more grownup version of MySpace except not as spammy. To my delight, Facebook continues to evolve for the better. Many people use it as a place for [Read more…]

Creating a useful and successful blog networking plan
http://www.freelancewritinggigs.com/2009/06/creating-a-useful-and-successful-blog-networking-plan/Social networking isn't that hard. Anyone can tweet, leave comments, ask for link exchanges, or IM readers and blogging pals. These are all general networking ideas that can work. However, if you're focusing on the wrong blog networking tactics for your specific blog you're wasting your time. In my mind we network for one basic reason, to draw readers to our blog. Maybe you're networking for another reason; to get read for personal reasons, to promote a cause, to get a job, or to gain clicks on ads, but it really all comes down to getting people to your blog [Read more…]
Wanted: Someone Who Gets It
http://www.freelancewritinggigs.com/2008/12/wanted-someone-who-gets-it/by Deb Ng Warning: Brief rant up ahead. The other day I had a frustrating talk with someone about building community around a website. He's going for celebrities and shock value rather than reach out to bloggers and social media, even though the bloggers and social media experts embraced the business early on. He called bloggers "amateur hour." (Hint: Don't wonder why no one is blogging about you, if you dismiss bloggers as amateurs.) I submit we can give you something the expensive, hot shot P. R. firms can't. Now that more businesses are looking to build up community and [Read more…]
Social networking is fuzzy – what's your take?
http://www.freelancewritinggigs.com/2008/11/social-networking-is-fuzzy-whats-your-take/I was making a list of social networking methods for blogs, plus discussing it with Deb, and I realized that some of the methods I use are pretty fuzzy. Many social activities cross over with blog promotion and the other way around, and it all mixes up with building your own blog community. For example, if someone finds you through Technorati and you become pals and maybe score a gig through that friendship, is it blog promotion, or are you doing a little networking? Fuzzy business. That said, I'm going to cover some blog networking methods over the next few [Read more…]
Social Media: Obama Gets It
http://www.freelancewritinggigs.com/2008/11/social-media-obama-gets-it/by Deb Ng A hat tip to Wendy Piersall at Sparkplugging for tweeting this story. I promise, this isn't a political post. One thing that impressed me about Barrack Obama is how he realized the importance of a web presence. He and his team embraced social media and used it with positive results. Obama had a presence on Twitter (with 130,000 followers, mind you) and other social networking sites. He knew it wasn't enough to stump to the crowds in person, he had to do reach out to the online community as well. In fact, most of Obama's campaign funding [Read more…]

AuctionDrop, which collects and sells consumers' wares on eBay, has donated its services to raise funds for tsunami survivors.
The company is soliciting donations of used and new CE products, including cameras and computers, which it will sell on eBay. All of the net proceeds from the sales will be donated to CARE's Earthquake and Tsunami Relief and Rehabilitation Fund.
Following the company's regular business model, donors can drop off their contributions at any of the 3,700 UPS stores around the country for shipment to AuctionDrop's centralized processing center. (The CARE fundraising code to enter on the UPS form is 00198.) Donated items will be photographed and listed for sale on eBay. Once sold, AuctionDrop will issue a check to CARE, while all unsold items will be donated to The Salvation Army.
The online auction house will absorb the cost of packing, shipping, processing and eBay fees by waiving its standard commission on sales.
"We all want to help the victims. That's why we've opened up our organization to aid in the relief effort," said AuctionDrop's CEO Randy Adams. Added Thomas Reynolds, regional director, CARE, "AuctionDrop offers an incredible chance to be a part of CARE's disaster response simply by donating electronic equipment that you no longer use every day."
Call (866) 376-7486 for more information.
This TWICE webinar, hosted by senior editor Alan Wolf, will take a look at what may be the hottest CE products at retail that will be sold during the all-important fourth quarter. Top technologies, market strategies and industry trends will be discussed with industry analysts and executives.

SendUit: Share Files up to 100M Simply and Privately
Thu, 21 Jun 2007 22:56:34
The folks at Tumblr have another equally simple and equally useful (IMHO) web application.
Here's what it does… It lets you share files privately without having to go through a lot of setup magic. You upload a file of up to 100MB to their site, set an expiration period (e.g., good for the next 30 minutes), and then give the web link to the upload file to whoever you want to get it. That's it. Simple and useful.

3 Cops Shot In Another Senseless Shooting
Clearly, the availability of guns is at the root cause of another shooting. Last edited by Elmer; 12-28-2012 at 01:08 PM.. |
Did an Officer loose control of his weapon...or did we just jump to a conclusion and decide he brought it with him after already being arrested?

All this does is show that even those who are well and responsibly trained can have their guns taken away from them and used for malice.
I wonder how the NRA would respond if they were posed the question of "what if a few kids overpower the armed police officer they suggested be at every school and go on a shooting rampage". I for one think they would dig themselves an even bigger hole. LIIIIIIIINK - http://www.huffingtonp |
Clearly, the availability of full body, bulletproof armor is the root cause of another death. It should be ultra, super-duper clear. Crystal, in fact.
I have a couple friends who are British cops. There has been an increase in the amount of UK cops carrying firearms, largely due to the dramatic increases in attacks and assaults on police officers, in the last 20 years or so. They have armed squads driving around for some years now, with assault rifles and handguns, and some cops are carrying handguns concealed under their tunics, so as not to upset the public and the tourists. An average 14 percent of all officers within England and Wales were assaulted during. 1992 [europarchive.org] Assaults on police 'hit 60 a day' [bbc.co.uk] Some of the attacks are worse than others.
If only England had effective gun and grenade control, this would never have happened.............. Despite the public hue and cry about it, more and more British cops will be carrying firearms in the coming years, as England's demographics and culture becomes even more violent. Unarmed victims make easier targets, even if they're the cops.

When I took my CCW class, a guy spoke about when he was a cop he responded to a burglary where both he and the perp both unladed their mags trying to shoot each other from 20 feet inside a home and neither one was hit. Figure at least 20 rounds at close range and neither could a damn thing.
Clearly the answer is both should have had nunchucks or throwing stars to get all ninja on each other's asses. The root cause is obviously the extinction of the modern-day ninja. |

TV Personality 'Yvonne Ekwere' Loses Car
Entertainment reporter, Yvonne Ekwere also recognised as Vixen lost her Toyota Camry on Saturday, July 28 to robbers.
According to reports, she parked the cat at the right wing of Oriental Hotel in Lekki, to attend the Ynaija Hashtag party.
'Vixen was shocked when she couldn't find her car when she returned an after searching the entire building, it dawned on her that it had been stolen', the Net Ng reports.
According to the Net Ng, attempts to recover the car proved futile as there were no CCTv cameras installed in that part of the Hotel.
'Tell anyone who cares to listen, ORIENTAL HOTEL is NOT SAFE! My car disappeared into thin air last night at their parking lot. Be very careful', Vixen ranted.
However, she isn't releasing a statement to the press until she speas with her management company.

The Legion forces are divided, half the team is stuck in the 20th century with no apparent way to get home. The other Legionnaires decide to hold tryouts to beef up their numbers. Let the zaniness ensue.
Some of the prerequisites to try out for the Legion are the same as in previous versions of the Legion but not all. One rule they share is 'no technology powers'. This should be known as the 'Kid Quantum' rule. This seems like a pragmatic thing to me. You don't want a piece of technology to fail at an inopportune moment. Anybody who's used a computer will agree with me.
A rule they don't follow in this reboot is 'no duplicate powers'. I found the original rule lame. What's wrong with a new Legionnaire having the same powers as a current member? A Legion full of people with powers identical to Superman would be a formidable power (boring though).
The character that epitomizes the Archie Legion for me is Kinetix. She's sweet, effervescent, funny and a great pal to the other Legionnaires. She's custom made for the Archie Legion, she'd stick out like a sore thumb in the original version. I was NOT HAPPY with her fate in Legion of 3 Worlds.
Another great Archie Legion character is Jeka Wynzorr (Sensor). Much like Kinetix Sensor is super-sweet, energetic, and very funny. She's also one of the few non-humanoid Legionnaires. Her humanoid version (after being Hypertaxis-ed) is pretty sexy too.

After playing this game for a while i got so addicted, such a great game to pass the time, and the people people that keep complaining about the ads that dont go away here's an easy solution for the Internet Explorer just go to file and put the window to work offline after that the ads should stop, for other web browsers ur on ur own
One of the best games on newgrounds!
I love all the Gemcraft games the graphics are amazing and they work well on my slow little computer.
Fun and addicting but...
In the middle of the game the ad would start loading a bar, once its finished there is no add, just a dimed screen and a frozen bar, cant clik no anything after that. No data is saved if this happens and it happenes alot! Another reason why ads are so anoying!
Damn! is fucking addictive! lol xD the game is great in every aspect. It deserves a glorious ten! and also i liked de no pop-up option ^^

(i'm not trying to hate the game in anyways i liket the game what pissest me off the most is the ADS nobody cares for that shit you want to have virses in your computer? no huh then why have ads its ok to have a bar for them NOT A VIDEO ON THE FUCKING GAME FOR A AD this is not for gameinabottle. i have to say atleast he worket hard on the game. people who do ads just make something up,make a video about some shit,get more money. they will pay for the video like ads to run but some do not some can get away this easy... ANYWAYS they was good for level one wish i can still play it but the fucking game got stuck and now i can't... can you fix the plomblem plz

For its eighth and most recent appearance on Mountain Stage, the iconic Western swing band Asleep at the Wheel traveled to the birthplace of country music in the border town of Bristol, Tenn./Va. Led for more than 40 years by singer-guitarist Ray Benson, the group was conceived in the tiny town of Paw Paw, W.Va., in 1969. Since then, Asleep at the Wheel has become the world's undisputed king of Western swing bands.

"Pink Champagne," a song on Caitlin Rose's second album The Stand-In, presents Rose's voice in its sparest purity and veiled shrewdness. She sends her voice skyward, the notes as buoyant and light as the bubbles of the pink champagne she's singing about. Her high trills could, with only a slight shift in tone and attitude, become self-conscious with a Betty Boop coyness, as they do once or twice on The Stand-In. But most of the time, Rose keeps her music grounded in the details of yearning, heartache and a welcome sense of gratefulness and enthused energy.

Imagine the capital of Somalia, Mogadishu, in the 1980s. You can't, right? Neither can most music critics. That's why the recent re-release of a record by a popular '80s-era Mogadishu dance band has caught the attention of critics lately.

For decades, the Austin Lounge Lizards have been trying to keep their Texas hometown weird. Armed with an alt-country sound and precise harmonies, the members have been spoofing politics, religion and romance for as long as most Austinites can remember. Now, they're releasing their first studio album in seven years, Home and Deranged.

Burt Bacharach has written huge hit songs, each recognizable after just a couple of notes: "Alfie," "What the World Needs Now," "That's What Friends Are For" — the list goes on. He's written 73 Top 40 hits, along with musical comedies and other collaborations. He's won Oscars and the Gershwin Prize. His songs are often poised on the edge between poignancy and joy, or sometimes the reverse.

"'The World Is Changing' is groove with a message." That quote, a pretty good summary of the music of Femi Kuti in just nine words, comes from Juan Gélas, the creative director of a new video for Kuti's new song. Femi Kuti is a saxophonist, trumpeter, keyboard player and singer and songwriter. The son of legendary afrobeat musician Fela Kuti, he carries on the tradition of mixing Nigerian beats along with jazz and a healthy dose of politics. Juan Gélas says, "Femi Kuti continues to be a leading protest artist out of modern Africa and his voice talks to us all."

Guest Mix No. 12: Victoria Kim
Victoria Kim are yet to release anything, but that's soon to change. The duo are set to release a 12" - which is available for pre-order here, on boutique Sydney based imprint, The Finer Things. It doesn't end there however, with the pair joining the illustrious Templar Sound family, as well as having a forthcoming release on Breach's Naked Naked label. Taking influence from a diverse range of sources, their sound is something which we think is best heard - rather than written about. Their mix starts off in somewhat unknown territory (for us anyway), before moving towards more familiar floor-orientated business. Enjoy.
