make this friends only?

i'm going to stay. i'll make it friends only, i'll go through my past posts i think and delete a pile of crap, and i'll try and blog every day - only this time i'm not going to blog serious stuff, i'm going to post whats on my mind at the moment and make it more light weight. not so much a journal, as a quick daily thought. 

what do you think? 

and if i make it friends only, how do i make sure you are on my list of who will see it? and is there a way to get rid of people that hve friended me who i dont even know? i actually have about three such people...no idea who they are.

i had three journals here at one time -one was for my photography the other was to goof around and try new layouts in. and this one.

lately i've felt the need to go around the internet and delete all the crap i've left behind, thats just spam and junk. so gone are my two accounts, numerous websites i started but really didnt find anyone visiting and blogs etc that are really not important.

i'm thinkign of deleting this account as well actually. i really dont feel the need to blog anymore and although i have many friends here, i often forget to come here and read stuff. If i could get a live feed from here it might make a difference - remind me when you're updating... but i've tried and it wont work.

the other thing is i might keep it, but go friends only. i have about 20 people on my list here who signed up to read my journal entries, and i've never met them here, they've never commentd on my entries and i have no idea why they signed up,, so if i go friends only, it will weed those people out. 

i'm finding i really dont have anything to say though, these days.  

 

Tom talks about his trips to africa and why he works with world vision, at great length. also talks about retirement, producing, touring, and more. 

the interview is up on the website of Dim Lights Thick Smoke Production (DLTSP) an on line rock magazine of sorts, as an audio file. 

find it here: http://www.dltsp.com/?p=297#more-297  part one, and part two link is on the right side of the page. Part one is 11 minutes, part 2 is about 15 minutes and feel free to leave a comment over there,... david from dltsp would love to know people visited his new site. 

thanks.

i cant believe how much i got accomplished this weekend... partly due to no internet downstairs so i got stuff done, but parltly cause i had a plan and a list and stuck to it. i have to go back to lists! we'll see how much i can carry this over to my working life tomorrow :)))

 ive been going back through my journal, editing and deleting things, cleaning it up so to speak, and i found this entry, which made me smile, and i needed a pickmeup. this did that too ;)

You tell Donna that she is an inspiration to a lot of people including me. The new album has been influenced by her fight, courage and undying faith in a God who truly gives a shit about our every need and that God has heard our prayers. For that I am truly thankful. Donna is a gift from God and I as many others, treasure her. You tell her she IS "Canada's Bono". She lives what I write and talk about.
You can put that on the U2 site.

Thanks for the update John.

Hey since God is listening to her right now,...tell her to pray for me to get another job so I don't end up homeless. LOL. 


Indeed, when i bought this album just a few months back, my name was in the credits list. shocked me. was nice.

thats the question.

not been here for a long time i know, and chances are nobody reads this anymore, but such is life and i still feel like writing tonight :)

who am i? i dont know. i know how i used to look. i know how i used to dress. and the style of my hair and my coloring and the shade of the eyeshadow i wore, and even the style of earrings i chose... but none of that fits me anymore. 


my hair is darker, my skin is darker, even my eyes seem darker due to darker shorter hair i think. none of my golden brown eye shadows suit my skin tone any more, and neither does my peachy blush. its too orange. my earrings are too thin and dangly for short hair as the short hair changes the shape of my face (i used to hang on to long hair to make my face look longer and less full). the shirts that have collars and button up, looked preppy when i had blonde long hair. now they make me look typically middle aged business woman and i dont like it cause its not me. 

who am i? i'm still trying to figure it out. i've been collecting pics of short hair that is curly, wavy and straight , analyzing face shapes and coloring etc, as well as studying makeup styles. things have changed dramatically since i first learned how to put on makeup. no longer do women feather the darker shadow out from the crease to the outer edge, its now the smokey eye look or morning after the night before rocker chick look. i actually went last weekend and had a woman at the department store shiseido counter do some makeup on me, and bought a 4pak of new eyeshadow. she went alittle wild with it and since i'm not used to color it was a shock of course, but she toned it down some and i quite liked it for an evening look. of course, i cant reproduce the same effect, so i'm going back to get hter to show me how. (she used smokey grey shadow and some bright emerald green sparkly to highlight)

as for clothes and hair, i'm not quite there yet. its been jeans and tshirts mainly cause its all i can fit into these days, but i'm wanting to do jeans and some kind of nice tops rather than tshirts. i just havent found the right ones yet. and.. actually i think it all stems frm my hair. if i could get the hair right, the rest will follow. 

try it sometime. put on your favorite outfit, do your makeup, then wet down your head and slick your hair back off your face and make it as unnoticalble as possible. we always do our makeup After our hair... and thats why i think.. because our hair defines to some degree what kind of mood we are in, or whether we are preppy, punk, conservative, romantic, sporty, etc. 

speaking of which, its time for another hair cut tomorrow. this time i know more what i want rather than 'do something'. cant get hte same girl, but they're all good there and i only want a few bits off, so shouldnt be a big deal and after a week its usually the right length to work with anyways. i've decided to not fight the curl for awhile and see what happens. and i wish it were darker actually... myself and a friend of mine both like it darker, which it is if its curly. if i straighten it, its quite brown and i like it closer to black.

well,, off to bed. still sick with this damned cold/flu. a woman tonight said her nephew has it and has had it for nearly two months. since its viral, antibiotics wont do anything, so its just rest, good food and vitamins.

i may try and catch up with you all this weekend, but if i dnt get to your journals, and there is something of particular interest, feel free to leave a link back to it.
