I like cake. I guess you could say I love cake. I love cake so much that if I died and they did an autopsy on me they would find that I have frosting flowing through my veins.
I was watching this show on Food channel which isn't a channel I normally watch because I find myself drooling after awhile lol. This show was called Ace of Cakes and they really do make some cool looking cakes. I have to give them props for that. I went to their website to see how much they charge for a cake. They say that since all of their cakes are different they can't give you a specific price but they require a minimum of $1000 for all their cakes.
HOLY COW! $1000? For a cake? I like cake but not that much. Sorry but I can't afford a $50 cake. The best I can do are the $15 cakes at Albertsons. If I were ordering cake for a wedding that would be one thing and even then I'd probably be looking at $200 at best. But for a birthday party, the birthday boy/girl will have to settle for either homemade or grocery store cake lol.

Friendly Spam
Is there such thing as friendly spam? I don't know, all I know is I much prefer spam fried and on bread with mayo.
I get a lot of emails every day advertising something like porn, penis enlargement, weight loss, and from various companies like Pepsi and Dairy Queen and even news emails from newsmax.com. I don't care for them, I just immediately delete them, that is if they don't find themselves in my spam folder.
If it wasn't bad enough getting those spam emails, I get tons of other spam from people that I know. Friends send me spam constantly. I get either petitions or chain letters and they are all guilting me into sending them to 10 or more people. The petitions say that I have to sign my name at the end of the email then forward it to 10 people and those 10 people sign it and forward it. First of all, those petitions don't do any good because they never get to who they are intended to go to and 2nd whoever they are sent to don't take them seriously.
The chain ones say if you don't send it out to 10+ people you will have bad luck. I don't believe they will give me good or bad luck. No voodoo priestess enchanted an email to give you good or bad luck OK. There is no luck with chain letters or chain emails.
The spam I hate, really really hate are religious emails that friends and family send me. Sometimes that's all they send me and when I email them they don't even respond to my emails at all so I start to wonder why I even have them in my address book at all. Why don't I just block their emails from coming to me. I hate religious emails. It's like they are shoving their god or Jesus down my throat. I don't send gay emails to everyone shoving homosexuality down their throats so what gives them the right to do that to me?
This one person who I met on the greyhound as I was going to visit my aunt in 2000 or something who I gave my email address to sends me nothing but religious emails and yesterday she spammed me with about 10 emails with all of her YouTube videos. Yeah, I've seen them and they aren't new, I don't know why she feels the need to share them with me again. One of them is a video of this guy in his 50's or 60's and he's sleeping with a laptop on his lap and he's sleeping sitting up but hunched over the computer and she's laughing and saying MySpace addict. I didn't see MySpace up on the screen. It was just the desktop with icons. How does that make him a MySpace addict? It just makes him a laptop addict. That makes no sense to me so I don't even respond to it.
Frankly, I'm sick of getting emails from anybody because that's the only crap they send me. I think there are 2 people who send me emails with conversation in them who I correspond with and that's it. All the rest feel the need to spam me on a daily basis. I don't mind the jokes or the puppy/kitty/baby pictures, those I love to see and the jokes and comic strips are really funny. But don't shove god/chain/petitions down my throat unless you are prepared to get a 20 page email about homosexuality.

WTF?
It's not what you think. WTF stands for Work Time Fun. I got this game last night because I have been extremely bored. I can't crochet anymore and all the games I have I've played and even though I'm not finished with them I wanted something new. I still have that $25 gift card for Game Stop but I don't know when I'll be able to use it so until then I got this.It was only $9.99 at the PlayStation Store and it has all these mini games inside it like counting chicks for example. There are 3 types of chicks. Male, Female and Dead lol. You push the chicks over with the right arrow button on the left side of the PSP then you decide where it goes. If it's a female chick you press the X, if it's male you press the O and if it's dead you press the triangle and it goes to heaven.
There is also a game called Pendimonium (I think that's the name) where you work in a pen factory and you have to put the caps on pens. But some come out upside down so you have to turn it right side up, put the cap on it then go to the next one.
Yeah, it does strain your eyes and it does seem to be strange but oddly addictive.
One of the games is similar to frogger, you have to get this little guy safely to the other side and keep him from getting hit by a car and you gotta eat the mushrooms in the road along the way. Yeah, you have to be doing mushrooms to play this one lol.
There is a baseball one which I am terrible at and a boxing game where all you do is press the x button many times but I never win that one.
Oh talk about winning, WTF is like a job, you have to "go to work" by doing these mini games and you get a paycheck depending on what tasks you've done. Since I just got the game I'm not that far into it so I can't explain what you get in this game but one of the things I saw from YouTube is you get this fun little thing that is eyeballs and from what I've seen on YouTube that is really fun especially for parties lol.

EverQuest
In March 2007 I paid for 2 years of my EverQuest subscription and that 2 years is up in a couple of months. Before they automatically charge me for another 2 years for $200 I would like to prevent getting shot in the foot by myself of course for not canceling in time lol.
I really had a good time in EQ for the 6 years I played it. The last year doesn't count for my 7 years because I haven't played it for a year. But the amount of time I did play it was so much more fun than I could even say.
Every time I got online someone would invite me to a group and if they didn't I would have to just go to a zone where I knew would be populated and start shouting or saying out of character /ooc that I'm available by saying my race, class and level followed by LFG (Looking for group).
I had so much fun playing with friends and strangers would usually become friends unless they were a douche in the game then I'd never see them again. I can't replace the fun that I've had but just hope that I get something similar to it again in my life. Maybe perhaps in real life? Then again I don't know anyone who wants to kill gnolls or giant skeletons.
I still have until mid March to play it so I'm going to be making some appearances here and there to say hi before I can no longer log into the game.
I heard that Sony will store all of your stuff in their systems for 6 months but after that you either have to pay for 1 month then cancel again and do that every 6 months or you just lose everything. I don't know, maybe things have changed. We will find out soon enough. I would like to sell my account since I highly doubt I will ever play the game again. But then again I'd only consider it if it's someone that I know and know for a fact that he knows how to play a high level wizard. I don't want to sell it to someone who has no clue what he/she is doing. That would be a definite insult. And they must change the name from Xanapus to something else. I don't want anyone to have that name but me.

Guy eats his eyes?!?!
Texas Inmate Pulls Out Eye, Eats It
GASP! This guy killed his wife and 2 kids, pulls their hearts out of their chests, puts them in a plastic bag and throws them away then he turns himself in. Then while in prison he pulls out his eye and eats it! Then he takes his other eye and eats that too! WTF! DUDE!
Where is Nancy Grace when we need her?
Nancy Grace / Casey Anthony
Edit: Before you read this, this post has nothing to do with Casey or Caylee Anthony or the case currently going on so if you are doing research then I feel it's best if you look at the next google result which is probably where you found this. This was a rant because I was annoyed with seeing the same thing over and over again and I meant no disrespect to Nancy Grace, Caylee Anthony or her family. Thank you.
God love Nancy Grace. She is on this Casey Anthony kick where every episode of her show is all about this tragedy with Caylee Anthony. Isn't anything else happening in the world that she can talk about?
I stopped watching her show because it's all the same stuff, showing the video of her in jail talking to her parents and her brother on the little screens and talking to people about this and that. I think that if there is a development in the case then fine, come back to it but come on, give is something else.
Sure, she had 1 episode this week about Jett Travolta but at the very end it said "Remembering Caylee Anthony". UGH! Why not Remembering Jett Travolta?
I love Nancy Grace, she's brash and honest and isn't afraid to speak her mind and I love that about her. But I mean come on, talk about something else.
I really feel sorry for this child who was brutally murdered and I'm shocked that a mother would do this, looking up neck breaking and how to make chloraform and actually kill her child like this. Don't get me wrong. I just don't want to hear it night after night.
