20091130-Making Space

Standard

That morning we listened to `El Rushbeau` on our local radio station HOT TALK 560 AM KSFO. He mentioned the global warming scammers or certain scientists had shredded ORIGINAL papers to make room for more current or fraudulent data!

In the past few days, I too have been `making space` on my WordPress.com weblog by deleting out ALL the videos and audios. I don’t feel the URGE to renew my 5GB Space Upgrade and have tried to upload some photos via Shareapic.net, in the hopes of linking back these images to my weblog entries.

But baby-sitting administration at that particular photo site would have to review the photos to make sure it complies with their `Clean Content Policy`. So that means I would have to wait for their APPROVAL!

Maybe I should just renew my subscriptions here at WordPress.com and just be done with it! Sheesh!

20091130-Tweaking Again

Standard

If you have not already noticed, my current theme is:

P2 by Automattic

Requires WordPress 2.9 beta or greater. A group blog theme for short update messages, inspired by Twitter. Featuring: Hassle-free posting from the front page. Perfect for group blogging, or as a liveblog theme. Dynamic page updates. Threaded comment display on the front page. In-line editing for posts and comments. Live tag suggestion based on previously used tags. A show/hide feature for comments, to keep things tidy. Real-time notifications when a new comment or update is posted. Super-handy keyboard shortcuts. Helvetica Neue for you modern font lovers. And more to come…

Tags: blue, two-columns, fixed-width, rtl-language-support, right-sidebar, white, light, widgets, front-page-post-form

And I’ve been playing around with the P2 Options and selected the following:

20091130-Seeing Dots

Image

Okay, fine! Out of frustrated boredom, I’ve switched my theme (AGAIN) to P2 by Automattic. After all, bloggers here at WordPress.com owe our thanks to the folks at Automattic for providing us different themes to choose from, right?

With the `P2 Options`, I chose the Polka Dots as the background image and selected to `hide the sidebar` and `display the titles`. It’s the eye candy of rainbow colored delights that makes my weblog feel all fruity.

Here is the `Polka Dots` image of the P2 background:

Also, the gravatar is displayed to the left of the author, followed by the time/date stamp and tags. The funny thing missing is the category from the `Recent Updates` mode. The title is bold and big, followed by the text and a horizontal line to separate each blog entry.

20091130-Nice Day

Standard

Today is beautiful (unlike fat people whose flabby wings under their upper arms will never take off gracefully into the air). Lots of WARM and VERY bright sun with clear blue skies. Finally used leaf blower after a few days of cold and rain. Stillness of wind now. Eeek!

20091130-Prune Faces

Standard

I’ve concluded the people with prune faces are not beautiful. That means they are worn out and something is wrong with them. Physically, I noticed people who smoke marijuana have long, drawn faces and vertical lines running up and down their cheeks. People with prune faces are mostly older farts.

There are lots of older farts in our parish. Most of those parishioners are mental nutters, who have problems which run all the way past their necks and over their heads. They have had bad experiences with relatives who take them for granted and lost lots of money and real property over the years.

The religious place is full of emotional psychos too who won’t stop interrupting people praying. The old Senora wouldn’t leave Maw alone and Maw told her to: GO AWAY.

People think they are right and use stupidity as a reason for not knowing proper protocol, like praying silently and NOT loudly. Last Friday, I had to hand a brightly colored paper of pink to and old Vietnamese man who just finished prayer the rosary. The Vietnamese in front of us wrote in her language on that paper, telling the old man to shut-up.

So attending church is not as peaceful and as holy as I expected because people are NOT sincere. The people working and volunteering for the church are yelling and screaming at each other. Lots of gossips and rumors are said. Most of them want FAME by having their names on the weekly bulletin.

I imagined attending or being among people whose sense of well-being and overall `feel` are beautiful and not pretentious like golden nuggets and shiny diamonds dripping from their wrinkly, decaying bodies.
