star had the oddest nightmare 'frown' it was about her hearing.. it wasn't gone, like some would assume.. no it got so sharp.. that ANY noise hurt.. even a whisper..
ever do a bone head move? well star did. I did a scratch off, one of th e items was a fifty dollar win.. but because i hadn't read the instructions that time i threw it out.. well i got a couple of more and THIS time read them so i went back to the trash can to see if the card was still there. someone had already snagged it 'face desk' so i won and LOST fifty dollars.
hmm, star had another dream that she remembered upon waking. it was odd i was watching a bunch of kids on a feild trip, and then they where on the bus heading home when they had an accident..
the bus was sent over the side of a bridge an dall the kids and driver and teachers died.. well then their in heaven on a road and the bus driver is taking them to their parts of heaven and one o fhte kids, his family ran a little store, kinda like the gas stations but without the gas.. and the bus driver's supposed to drop them all off at thei rcorners before he goes to his own little peice of heaven..its just.. odd as hell i normally don't remember my dreams. EVER.
My day has officially sucked. beyond three people. not one of my friends or family have decided to wish me a happy birthday. i knew it was going to su ck, what with my mother being dead and all. but i thought I'd at least get a HAPPY BIRTHDAY.. none of my online friends beyond one have even said anything to me about it this year. so star's not exactly happy.
I've been rewatching a favorite series. 'Alien Nation' I so believe they should of continued it or at least given it a better ending then they did. it sucks that they went and slapped on a sloppy ending.. even if it would of been good as a 'stand alone' I found most of the series on Youtube. Lets hear it about that.
(all links go to youtube)
all episode information found on Wikipedia
As resentment toward the Newcomers builds, Matt Sikes and George Francisco investigate a string of murders that appears to be the work of a giant, insect-like creature that Purists claim is connected to the Newcomers, and Matt receives information from his dead former partner that may lead to and uncover a greater evil.
George and Matt go undercover to investigate a prostitution ring, and George's uncle Moodri, a Tenctonese Elder, convinces Buck to face up (and confess) to a killing Buck had committed in self-defense.
Matt and George struggle to cope with both their respective rebellious children and each other while simultaneously trying to protect a sex-crazed witness from a mobster.
Amidst a bloody city-wide riot, Matt and George must stop the hoodlums who lay siege to the police precinct in order to raid its evidence locker for contraband.
As Halloween approaches, a series of grisly murders is patterned after the mythical Tagdot, a Tenctonese boogeyman who severs the hands of his victims as they bleed to death.
In the wake of an astronomer's murder, George and Matt must prevent an Overseer from sending a signal into space which could result in Earth's enslavement.
Someone has been murdering Binnaums, a unique caste of Newcomers required in Tenctonese procreation, putting stationhouse janitor (and binnaum) Albert Einstein in grave danger, and Sikes and George fear it is the work of Purists intent on preventing Newcomers from multiplying. Also, the Franciscos make plans for a third child.
George goes undercover to track down a murderous female Newcomer who has been using a dating service and a Tenctonese love drug called Sardonak to lure victims, while Matt must deal with the attentions of a male Newcomer who has taken Sardonak but fallen for Matt instead. In this episode George takes Susan some cut flowers which seems in conflict with the movie Alien Nation: Dark Horizon where living flowers are preferred.
A mysterious Tenctonese artifact is passed along from person to person, leaving a trail of dead in its wake ... including someone very close to the Francisco family.
While George's being featured on a news show special as a model Newcomer starts going to his head, Matt investigates an attack on a Tenctonese porno star.
When George is implicated in a scandal involving the disappearance on his watch of several kilos of an illegal narcotic known as "Jack", it is up to Matt to clear him ... an effort that strikes close to Matt. Also, the Francisco family prepares for the transference of the pod from Susan to George.
Matt's vacation plans are thwarted by the return of The Doctor, a ruthless serial killer who eluded him years ago, but during the investigation George worries that Matt is hiding something from him.
George's investment in a Tenctonese fabric company is jeopardized when one of the firm's corporate executives meets with foul play, Buck protests against worker exploitation at the firm's factory, and Matt sells one of his lottery tickets to Albert ... only to see him win.
Cathy is reunited with a boy from the Newcomer slave ship, but when he exhibits bizarre behaviour and appears emotionally troubled, she goes beyond the law in her attempts to intervene.
Matt and Cathy struggle with their romantic feelings for one another, while George and Matt's partnership/friendship may implode due to George's promotion over Matt and a plot to exterminate the Tenctonese race via a deadly bacteria unfolds.
more to come but that's the episode I've gotten up to. gotta love youtube, allows you to see things you aint seen since your child or youth hood.
In a recapitulation of the series cliffhanger, Alien Nation: Dark Horizon begins with Susan Francisco and her daughter Emily falling victim to a newly developed bacterial infection that was created by a group of human Purists to exterminate the Newcomer species. There is also a new sub-plot running parallel to this one, the story of Ahpossno, a Tenctonese Overseer who lands on Earth to find any surviving Tenctonese and bring them back into slavery. The idea of a signal sent into space by the surviving Overseers was explored in the Alien Nation episode Contact.
It follows the television series format of two parallel storylines. The first plot is about a seemingly human-Tenctonese hybrid child involved in a sinister experiment with a Newcomer scientist disguised as a human. The sub-plot is the budding relationship between Matt Sikes and his Tenctonese neighbor Dr. Cathy Frankel. The relationship between Matt and Cathy was an ongoing theme of the Alien Nation television series.
The plot follows human detective Matthew Sikes and his Tenctonese partner George Francisco as they investigate a mind-altering Tenctonese artifact being used to lure followers into a deadly cult. The artifact used in this film was the same one from Alien Nation episode Generation to Generation.
In this movie, detective Matthew Sikes and his Tenctonese partner George Francisco investigate a group of Tenctonese called the Eenos. The sub-plot involves Tenctonese binnaum Albert Einstein and his new bride May attempting to have a child (with George's help) -- a reversal of the Alien Nation episode Three to Tango.
The plot introduces the idea that among the Tenctonese slaves, there was a resistance movement called the Udara who were implanted with hypnotic suggestions to act as sleeper agents. Now, here on Earth, someone has found a way to activate these sleeper agents, and send them out as assassins.

star was in a thread during the event and we brought up Bruce Cambell. now THERE'S an actor. he can make the silliest things sound serious or super cool
'Hail the king baby'
or
'Give me some sugar'
as was brought up one by me one by Eastriel: and bloodstainedwings: 'nods' its great when you find people who like things you watch.
of his films i liked evil dead 2 better then evil dead one which isn't the extent of what i've seen him in but a tthe moment all i can think of haha.
He has had cameo appearance in the first 3 Spider-Man movies.
I love Bruce Campbell. Miscreant introduced me to his movies.
I really liked him on Hercules, Xena & Brisco County.
Miscreant got me one of his action figures from Xena.
I kept hoping they would make another Evil Dead movie with him.
He was also in the remake of McHale's Navy, it was a pretty good movie.
Alien Nation ~ haven't thought about that series in a long time.

Star ~ I'm sorry I missed your birthday.
haha I love Alien Nation, gotta love youtube 'nods enthusiastically' and aww Thanks Damia Flagg: i had a rotten birthday 'sigh' another show i love is 'Star Trek: Voyager and Star Trek: Next Generation'.. their good series's.
I'm sorry your birthday was rotten.
I'm not expecting mine to be that great this year, I would love if we could go camping again, but with all the doctor bills that doesn't seem very likely this year.
I liked Star Trek: Next Generation, but never really got into Voyager.
My brother always thought Deep Space 9 was the better of the series.
I started watching Charmed again, but now I have misplaced the next disc.
I've also been reading the Sookie Stackhouse books, still have to find the last few of those.
TrueBlood was a good show, or what I have been able to watch of it was good, but the books are better.
Still can't imagine Eric looking any different than he does on the television show, while Sam on the other hand would look so much different.

I like both series but not a lot. yeah they cancled it because of i think it said a 'war' or something or tensions leading to one and not wanting to antagaonize.. me and josh, my room mate, just think the really really good shows get bad airing times a lot of the time..
something i found on facebook, just a cute.. story that had tears coming to my eyes.
Quote:
A Minister passing through his church
In the middle of the day,
Decided to pause by the altar
To see who come to pray.
Just then the back door opened,
And a man came down the aisle,
The minister frowned as he saw the man
Hadn't shaved in a while.
His shirt was torn and shabby,
And his coat was worn and frayed,
The man knelt down and bowed his head,
Then rose and walked away.
.
In the days that followed at precisely noon,
The preacher saw this chap,
Each time he knelt just for a moment,
A lunch pail in his lap.
Well, the minister's suspicions grew,
With robbery a main fear,
.
He decided to stop and ask the man,
'What are you doing here?'
The old man said he was a factory worker
And lunch was half an hour
Lunchtime was his prayer time,
For finding strength and power.
I stay only a moment
Because the factory's far away;
As I kneel here talking to the Lord,
This is kinda what I say:
.
'I JUST CAME BY TO TELL YOU, LORD,
HOW HAPPY I HAVE BEEN,
SINCE WE FOUND EACH OTHERS FRIENDSHIP
AND YOU TOOK AWAY MY SIN.
DON'T KNOW MUCH OF HOW TO PRAY,
BUT I THINK ABOUT YOU EVERYDAY.
SO, JESUS, THIS IS BEN,
JUST CHECKING IN TODAY.'
.
The minister feeling foolish,
Told Ben that it was fine.
He told the man that he was welcome
To pray there anytime.
'It's time to go, and thanks,' Ben said
As he hurried to the door.
Then the minister knelt there at the altar,
Which he'd never done before.
His cold heart melted, warmed with love,
As he met with Jesus there.
As the tears flowed down his cheeks,
He repeated old Ben's prayer:
.
'I JUST CAME by TO TELL YOU, LORD,
HOW HAPPY I'VE BEEN,
SINCE WE FOUND EACH OTHERS FRIENDSHIP
AND YOU TOOK AWAY MY SIN.
I DON'T KNOW MUCH OF HOW TO PRAY,
BUT I THINK ABOUT YOU EVERYDAY.
SO, JESUS, THIS IS ME,
JUST CHECKING IN TODAY.'
.
Past noon one day, the minister noticed
That old Ben hadn't come.
As more days passed and still no Ben,
He began to worry some.
At the factory, he asked about him,
Learning he was ill.
The hospital staff was worried,
But he'd given them a thrill.
.
The week that Ben was with them,
Brought changes in the ward.
His smiles and joy contagious.
Changed people were his reward.
The head nurse couldn't understand
Why Ben could be so glad,
When no flowers, calls or cards came,
Not a visitor he had.
.
The minister stayed by his bed,
He voiced the nurse's concern:
No friends had come to show they cared.
He had nowhere to turn.
Looking surprised, old Ben spoke up
And with a winsome smile;
'The nurse is wrong, she couldn't know,
He's been here all the while.'
Everyday at noon He comes here,
A dear friend of mine, you see,
He sits right down and takes my hand,
Leans over and says to me:
.
'I JUST CAME BY TO TELL YOU, BEN,
HOW HAPPY I HAVE BEEN,
SINCE WE FOUND THIS FRIENDSHIP,
AND I TOOK AWAY YOUR SIN .
I THINK ABOUT YOU ALWAYS
AND I LOVE TO HEAR YOU PRAY,
AND SO BEN, THIS IS JESUS,
JUST CHECKING IN TODAY .'
.
If this blesses you, pass it on. Many people
will walk in and out of your life, but only
true friends will leave footprints in your
heart
.
May God hold you in the palm of His hand
And Angels watch over you..
Please pass this page on to your friends
& loved ones. If you aren't ashamed.
Jesus said, ' If you are ashamed of me,'
I will be ashamed Of you before my Father.'
.
If you are not ashamed, pass this on.
So, FRIEND, this is ME ...
"Just Checking In Today"
Gotta love face book you find some really touching stories.
Quote:
Just had to share this touching story:
When an old man died in the geriatric ward of a nursing home, it was believed that he had nothing left of any value.
Later, when the nurses were going through his meager possessions, they found this poem. Its quality and content so impressive to the staff, that copies were made and distributed to every nurse in the hospital.
One nurse took her copy to a newspaper. RESULT: The old man's sole bequest to posterity has since appeared in the Christmas editions of magazines around the country and is still appearing in magazines for Mental Health. A slide presentation has also been made based on his simple, but eloquent poem.
And this old man, with nothing left to give to the world, is now the author of this 'anonymous' poem that is viral across the Internet.
(**TISSUE WARNING**)

To Soon Old....(cranky old man)
What do you see nurses? . . .. . .What do you see?
What are you thinking .. . when you're looking at me?
A cranky old man, . . . . . .not very wise,
Uncertain of habit .. . . . . . . .. with faraway eyes?
Who dribbles his food .. . ... . . and makes no reply.
When you say in a loud voice . .'I do wish you'd try!'
Who seems not to notice . . .the things that you do.
And forever is losing . . . . . .. . . A sock or shoe?
Who, resisting or not . . . ... lets you do as you will,
With bathing and feeding . . . .The long day to fill?
Is that what you're thinking?. .Is that what you see?
Then open your eyes, nurse. You're not looking at me.
I'll tell you who I am . . . . .. As I sit here so still,
As I do at your bidding, .. . . . as I eat at your will.
I'm a small child of Ten . .with a father and mother,
Brothers and sisters .. . . .. . who love one another.
A young boy of Sixteen . . . .. with wings on his feet
Dreaming that soon now . . .. . . a lover he'll meet.
A groom soon at Twenty . . . ..my heart gives a leap.
Remembering, the vows .. .. .that I promised to keep.
At Twenty-Five, now . . . . .I have young of my own.
Who need me to guide . . . And a secure happy home.
A man of Thirty . .. . . . . My young now grown fast,
Bound to each other . . .. With ties that should last.
At Forty, my young sons .. .have grown and are gone,
But my woman is beside me . . to see I don't mourn.
At Fifty, once more, .. ...Babies play 'round my knee,
Again, we know children . . . . My loved one and me.
Dark days are upon me . . . . My wife is now dead.
I look at the future ... . . . . I shudder with dread.
For my young are all rearing .. . . young of their own.
And I think of the years . . . And the love that I've known.
I'm now an old man . . . . . . .. and nature is cruel.
It's jest to make old age . . . . . . . look like a fool.
The body, it crumbles .. .. . grace and vigour, depart.
There is now a stone . . . where I once had a heart.
But inside this old carcass . A young man still dwells,
And now and again . . . . . my battered heart swells.
I remember the joys . . . . .. . I remember the pain.
And I'm loving and living . . . . . . . life over again.
I think of the years, all too few . . .. gone too fast.
And accept the stark fact . . . that nothing can last.
So open your eyes, people .. . . . .. . . open and see.
Not a cranky old man .
Look closer . . . . see ME!!
(poem supposedly written by David Griffith from Ft. Worth, TX. Whether the circumstances of when/where is was written are true or not, it does not detract from the meaning & feeling these words convey. --CG)
Remember this poem when you next meet an older person... Try to see the young soul within them. For if we live long enough, this will be all of us.... one day.
FEEL FREE SHARE THIS POEM... for "The best and most beautiful things of this world can't be seen or touched. They must be felt by the heart." smile emoticon

The first child: When we were expecting our first child, people celebrated me as though no woman had ever had a baby before. I was showered with gifts and attention by family, friends, family friends and friends of family friends' dogs. Upon arrival of the baby, visitors crowded the waiting room and lined up around the block. You have never seen so many homemade lasagnas in your life.
The next one: Umm…where did everybody go?
2. Documentation
Your first child: Photo documentation began before my pregnant belly was even visible and continued weekly (more like daily) throughout the first two years of our daughter's life on the outside.
The next one: Any pictures that captured my second pregnancy were inadvertent until near the end, when we decided we had better take a few shots on purpose just to prove it happened.
3. Illness
The first child: The baby was sniffle free her whole first year of life.
The next one: Due to the infectiousness of her older sibling, now in preschool, the baby has had a runny nose since the week after her birth. She can see us coming with the snot sucker from across the room and it takes all three of us to hold her down to use it.
4. Time Management
The first child: There was no time to do anything but care for the baby. Outings were carefully timed so as not to anger the gods of Nap. I could not commit to any plans without a caveat regarding the likelihood of my cancelling them, because one day's schedule could not predict the next.
The next one: I cannot conceive how I ever felt busy caring for only one child and though I continue to respect naps, it would be impossible for me to make the world stop spinning in order to always accommodate the baby at the exact moment she is ready. (By 'the world' I mean my preschooler, by 'spinning' I mean spinning.)
5. Nursing
The first child: I had great big hopes that my breasts would rebound post nursing.
The next one: All hope is lost. But I'm still pulling for pelvic realignment.
6. Attentiveness
The first child: We rushed to respond to night time crying for the baby's sake.
The next one: We rush to respond to night time crying so that she won't wake up her sister.
7. Cleanliness
The first child: The baby got a complete wardrobe change upon receiving the tiniest drop of spit up.
The next one: Wipe slobber and spit up off with other parts of the clothes she is wearing, the clothes I am wearing, rub it off (or rather in) with my thumb, dangle her so she launches it onto the ground. In short, use whatever method of cleanup is most handy and carry on. Spit up and slobber are nothing compared to what her sister uses to dirty clothes. Exponential laundry increase is one of the great shocks of having a second child.
8. Development
The first child: We encouraged motor skill and ambulatory development. Praised all accomplishments.
The next one: Have strapped to the floor with duct tape knowing what difficulties baby mobility brings. I try every day but still cannot physically move in two opposing directions at once. Once the baby starts running around, I will have to decide which child to sacrifice in order to chase after the other.
9. Safety
The first child: Any baby proofing done was to protect from the dangers of the house.
The next one: How could anyone think a house is dangerous compared to a three year old? This baby climbs the stairs by herself on the way to her daily sibling self defense class.
10. Closeness
The first child: I wanted to hold her all the time, she was my first. Her sleeping on me was bliss and I had the leisure to doze at random with her at any point during the day.
The next one: I want to hold her all the time, she is my last. Her sleeping on me is rare because her sister does not recognize my right to be still.
11. Productivity
The first child: On the weekends the family ran errands together. It seemed we had all the time in the world and every trip was novel. There were two of us and one of her…nothing could impede our progress.
The next one: Divide and conquer. This took a few trips to figure out. Inevitably, one of us would have to make an emergent potty run into a store with the toddler, while the other sat in the parked car nursing the newborn. This left no one to accomplish the errand. (To ease your suspense, it was me in the car.) As I write this I realize that during the week, I run the errands by myself with both girls. Hey wait a minute, that's not fair…
12. Organization
The first child: The house became increasingly scattered with baby gear and toys. I was excited when she grew out of all those clunky baby gadgets such as the activity mat, exersaucer and high chair, until I realized bigger kids have bigger stuff.
The next one: Minimal adult possessions remain. However many attractive receptacles I can find, they are not enough.
13. Benefits
The first child: Had the benefit of all my attention. Good thing because I had no idea what I was doing.
The next one: Has the benefit of my experience. Good thing because I am busy explaining to her sister why she doesn't get all of the attention anymore.
14. Life Impact
The first child: The shock of parenthood was tremendous and the realization that I couldn't turn back was scary like I swallowed a boulder and jumped off a bridge.
The next one: Times two.
15. Lovability
The first child: Brought the most powerful of all love into my life for the first time.
The next one: Brought the most powerful of all love into my life for the first time, again. (My apologies if the sentiment makes you throw up in your mouth, that is just the way it is.)
Happy Fourth of July Menewsha, I had a great day, got to rp a bit with a friend, got some ibprofuen, however it's spelled, for my migraine i woke up with, played some games, then went to josh's mum's for a Fourth of July BBQ which was fun. she is one meaaan cook.
Missed the parade though, but that's okay, i don't think i would of been to comfortable there anyways. i can always find it online to watch. Wish Mene had a little flag my avi could be waving or something..
So I'll jus thave to supply my own, i also made a 'Fourth of July playlist' on spotify. 'nods' which is a good thing I think anyways.
Right so my sister Wanda who, since her and doug's falling out two month's after mom's death, hasn't had any contact with me because I've kept in contact with Doug, our baby brother, by four years from my perspective, texted me last night, not to wish me an extremly late happy birthday, oh no, not even to see what's up.
she texted looking for a Friggen DISC For the wii. the wii she gifted me. with said disc inside of it. so i ignore the text. because really, it was uncalled for. she hasn't talked to me at all since her little 'your laughign at my misfortune' all because i was talking to my brother. Well s he CALLS today, i hang up on her, she calls back, i shut the cell phone off. because really what RIGHT does she have to call me? she's wanted shit all to do with me since she cut off contact and she has the gull to call looking for a stupid fucking disk. i wasn't dealing with it.
