Forum: Blue Blood Boards

What do you all think about ratings type sites? You know the ones where people can upload pictures and people rate the pix.

So I think I'm going to try to settle down to go to sleep. I like to be off the computer for an hour or so before I hit the sheets. The internet makes things sorta stressful in slumberland otherwise. Sometimes I think my whole life would be different if I naturally kept a "normal" sleep...

Apparently a dominatrix is running for government on the Marajuana Party ticket in Canada. Info available here

I've been thinking about the fact that in times of personal improvement I tend to blow my dough helping other people making cool projects, instead of taking care of myself. I think this is because I am scared of improving my situation. I identify as disenfranchised, so I have trouble reaping the...

I resisted the trend of keeping a journal online for a long time. Eventually I gave in to the pressure. I kind of liked it for a while, especially when I could comment on other people's and get comments from them. But the thing about most journal sites is that they have no context. I mean,...

So I'm trying to decide what types of Blue Blood swag to order. Do you all like standard T-shirts or any other special sort of imprinted cool stuff?

I used to go to a whole lot of shows every month. It seems like it is not as many now. I used to go to arena shows, but, once I'd seen a few really good shows in small rock clubs, I was sort of forever spoiled. A really good band in a small packed club of people who are into it is one of the...

So, in explaining what Blue Blood is, people tend to use a lot of labels and sometimes words like gothic, punk, dark glam, burlesque, psychobilly, deathrock, fandom, literary, rock, etc. can be useful to describe it, but I wonder what term truly applies. I think a lot of people are into a similar...

I think one of my biggest problems in life is that I just can't be motivated by money. This means I tend not to get paid what I should on some things. On the plus side, it means I never have to shrink from looking myself in the mirror because I know I will go hungry before doing certain things I...

Anyone here ever read Obediance to Authority?

For a long time, my biggest regret in life was that I did the higher learning plan. Now that I have finished paying my student loans and gotten my brain out of hock and am a successful creative person, I am less sorry. Do you think a university education is of benefit?

I was kind of jangled last night and couldn't settle down to go to sleep, but my TiVo had picked up Caddyshack. Damn but that movie has some fine moments. I remember the first time I saw it, I thought the star should have been the hot degenerate guy caddy and not the two-timing blond with weird...

There is a saying, "you can't make any new friends once you get your first real piece of furniture." It is certainly harder to really connect with people once you are out of school, but I hope the furniture thing is not true. Although I'm pretty furniture-challenged, so I'm probably okay.

I once got a B on a term paper I thought was damn good on the topic of therapeutic impact of self-mutilation. It was for an upper level seminar on abnormal psychology. Recently the topic has come up over and over again. I think some new service did a story on some "goth" girl who cut herself or...

Just watched the Slither video and, in some respects, given the wealth of talent that went into that band, I know I like Velvet Revolver, but I have not decided how much yet. I need to hear more of it. But, damn, watching that video, those guys are ROCK STARS and Scott Weiland just has that...

Do you think someone who wants to kill him or herself should be stopped? If so, under what conditions?

Apparently the comic book distributor I used to lay out the catalog for is doing a promo with a bunch of stores across the planet to raise interest in comics and is giving stuff away July 3. You can check what stores are participating where you live here.

Just watched one of those poker shows on TiVo. A construction worker from the Pacific NW won over $400,000. Anyone here play poker? Anyone here any good?

I finished uploading the fun snapshots from my San Diego trip. The following are a few of my favorites, but the whole lot of them are posted now at http://www.spookycash.com/fun/0604cybernetexpo/ Did you know you can get good gourmet beer by the carton in San Diego? Apparently you are allowed to...

Do you think online blogging is a passing fad? People have kept some sort of diary since man started scratching on cave walls, but the character of online journals seems to have moved away from the usual intent of a journal and into a weird land that has an entirely different feel and I think does...

So apparently Howard Stern got his fines paid for him by Viacom and is back on the air in a number of areas. What do people think about it?

What payment methods do you like to use online when paying for auctions, site memberships, publications, clothing, toys, etc.?

So something that has been on my mind lately is the way various areas of the internet tend to press people to either be part of a cesspool of the lowest depths of depravity and lack of morals or ethics . . . or else the pressure is to lie about who you are and what your motives are and what you...

My mom used to make me these little English muffin pizzas that were so yummy. I made myself some a few months back and they were total comfort food. Does anyone else know what I am talking about here?

I just saw an episode of that show The Casino and they were shooting machine guns from helicopters. I gotta find out about doing that. I think I'd like it much. Do you like to go shooting?

I think that over time more and more people are getting their news online. I know that I am more versed in current events these days just because I am online too much to avoid it if I tried. Generally, the newspapers I tend to read are the local sort of hipster weeklies for whatever city I am in...

Szandora did a show with Thee Swank Bastards at The House of Brews and they'll be there again on the 11th and the 18th. Forrest and I came and hung out. We got to meet charming Jay Goldstein who is shooting a bunch of Szandora's performances and such for Szandora.com and who has the coolest cell...

I haven't had any coffee since Wednesday. I know drinking as many yummy iced lattes as I like is bad for me. But I have a bit of a headache coming on and I know coffee would fix that right up.

We used to be guests at DragonCon every year when we lived on the East Coast and even moved to Atlanta because we had so much fun at that convention. I decided to steer clear of it after the main organizer ran into legal problems. Was wondering how it was these days?

That movie traumatized some people I know, but most said it was ridiculously overrated. As of today, I am officially replacing all of my friends who didn't think it was good.

Our very own Agent Aeon is of course the punk rock French maid and you can see a clip here. What do you think? I haven't set up sound on the comp I am on, but I can read some French.

I've noticed that a lot of people, women especially, tend to dump all their friends whenever they get a new significant other. Of course, guess who gets to hear about it when the new sweetie becomes yesterday's news. I've also noticed that a lot of people expect that anyone in a relationship...

I remember being a little kid and complaining to my mom that I was bored. Do you ever find yourself bored when you are in the middle of doing something that is supposed to be fun playtime?

Are you generally tidy, generally messy, or a total slob, or a total neat freak?

She says she hurt her shoulder, but hopefully not too badly. She was holding on tight enough to her kitty that the cat did not go through the windshield. But car accidents are always a scary thing. Everybody send good wishes to Keiko to get well soon and get a massive settlement from the...

Here is what I got. Actually kinda accurate I think. Not sure about the soundtrack and I am a Leo though. http://images.quizilla.com/J/Jai16/1099786774_radiction2.jpg Your Beauty lies in Contradiction. Controversial, unpredictable, and never what anyone expects. You appearance and your...

Do you find yourself acting or being crazier during the holiday season?

So I keep getting this spam with the header "Cheating Housewife Services" and it makes me picture a sort of Soldier of Fortune website where you can hire someone to kill your faithless spouse. I've never opened one, so maybe that really is what it is. Today, however, I received one with the...

What does iPOD stand for? Do you have one? Do you like it?

Unrelated to the funny bus story, but here are two of my favorite snapshots from the same day. Actually two of my favorite pix from the trip period I think, but I'm still getting bunches ready to post. http://www.spookycash.com/fun/janinternext2005/b0103internext05/0103internext059333.jpg ...

I watched the first season of The Apprentice and kind of changed my opinion of reality shows. Enjoyed the season, agreed with the final choice of winner, thought it looked like a fun game to play. I watched the second season and thought the whole season blew. I couldn't understand how they...

Would you rather know something awful or suspect something awful? If you know, then you can actually act and make decisions based on the info. But, if you only suspect, then you don't have to be upset because there is always a chance the awful thing is not the case.

Happy birthday, Bunny! (And, no this is not an April Fools post.)

Do you ever eat chocolate? What kinds do you like?

I am so bleary-eyed this morning I may go back to bed. I would like to smack whoever came up with daylight savings. I like dark just fine and have no need to packrat daylight.

What designers/stores would you like to see more press on? When we shoot fashion, it is always nice to introduce people to new things but also to have an idea what they enjoy already. :rryumy:

Apparently I am: the Wit (52% dark, 30% spontaneous, 16% vulgar) your humor style: CLEAN | COMPLEX | DARK You like things edgy, subtle, and smart. I guess that means you're probably an intellectual, but don't take that to mean you're pretentious. You realize 'dumb' can be witty--after...

I'd worry about this one, except my whole family is really into their dinner and I did go to high school in Europe where I was legal drinking age. On the rare occasions I drink a lot, I generally prefer to drink beer. I scored: Bacardi 151 Congratulations! You're 132 proof, with specific...

To TheNonconformist_Illusion our newest troll: How did you find Blue Blood and what inspired you to sign up for the forums? To everyone else: We've seen a real uptick in trollish nonsense lately. I think I have an idea why, but really fake trolls or real trolls are all trolls in the end and...

I am soooooooooooooo sleepy. Who else is sleeping just dandy at the moment?
