Samtagious!

Go visit App World today, the Wordpress for Blackberry has been updated now with better media support–photos, video. I’m making this post as a test using the app right now! So, it looks better than the past iterations, its pretty easy to navigate and use and it definitely has a lot of features for blogging on the go! If you haven’t updated — do it! If you haven’t got it — what the heck are you waiting for? Yay WordBerry 8-)

This one has a slider homescreen menu, 10 icons showing. Tiny profiles icon on top left corner for setting tones from homescreen. Custom hourglass–cute little pink punky skull with rotating colours. I made the wallpaper yesterday in a fit of colour passion and I spent half the night modifying the icons to fit properly.. You can get the icons here: iconza but try to remember to link to them if you do :-)

Enjoy!

Working on a theme based on this wall, I made it tonight and it must become a full theme. If you like it you’re more than welcome to use it as/is :-)

I freely admit, I am anti-Olympics but its a double edged sword as far as I’m concerned.

I’m not against the games themselves, allowing the young people a showcase of and for their amazing skill and talent. That is fucking wonderful, really.

I am against the organizations that run the whole mess and the promotion of hunger and desolation they create in the host communities. I’m against the establishment forcing views and thoughts on the public and policing them, even their very thoughts, on an overwhelming Orwellian scale.

I’m all for those awesomely athletic kids showing off what they’ve worked so hard to accomplish, but I’m dead against the asshats who use them and the people who support them to pad their own coffers at the cost of moralities, common sense and often, at the cost of humanity itself.

The government is sweeping homeless people and serious addicts under the rug for appearances for the sake of making the city look cleaner or more presentable. They’re putting them up in empty condos and vacant spaces overtop stores in the shopping areas.  Is there a long term plan for these people? Some sort of rehab or assistance program? No. After the Olympics have ended–these unfortunate souls will be tossed back into whatever alley they were harvested from.

Now rents have gone up, poor people, already struggling to get by, are losing their apartments because the buildings have either been deemed unfit to look at and the landlords must empty the places so as to “prettify” them or else the slumlords smell a bigger profit in the visiting morons who are too blind to see that people are cold and hungry, and they snap up these blessed lodgings in the now sanctified and holy city which is hosting this archaic procession.

Businesses have been forced to change logos and shop colours that they’ve had for years if not decades, for the sake of not infringing on the sacred and blessed Olympics. Are they being compensated? No. Not a single dime for their troubles. Almost every one has been a small “mom & pop” growth and they’re being forced to concede to something ridiculous, just so the officials can make everything “pretty” for the bigwigs who’ll inevitably turn out for this ridiculous spectacle.

Yes, ridiculous spectacle.

This is no longer about the young athletes or their incredible accomplishments, it hasn’t been for a very long time. This is entirely about the almighty dollar and a pointless aesthetic status for the host city and its trumped up value/importance.

It is yucky and vile, plain and simple.
Its all just totally damn wrong.

I made something for site owners/bloggers but its not my usual fare. I remember many years ago when I first started blogging–I was really confused as to what was legal and/or proper in the blogosphere, also a few times I had folks step out of line in how they treated me and a few of those folks said to me “Well, you didn’t have a disclaimer, what do you expect?” and then I created a basic disclaimer but it really didn’t cover much at all, this gift I have made is a little more comprehensive, and you can have it..

Here: “My Generic Disclaimer” <–fee free to link it, copy it, use it.

Take whatever you need, get inspiration from it, I made it for you. To the best of my knowledge it is legal in Canada (where I am) and in the USA (where the majority of my guests/readers are from) as for anywhere else–I have no idea but you can certainly do some research and modify it to your needs…

It doesn’t cover every possible scenario but it covers most of what a blogger would need so I hope its a bit of a help to those of you who may have been looking for something similar..

This is a delicious super saturated ultra grrli pinkness full of Hello Kitty love! I have a pile of HK inspiration coming up, stay tuned!

I know, I’m a billion years behind getting stuff done, its been a long and stressful period. My family even missed Xmas dinner because of the flu, that really sucked, but we made up for it by having a bigger and better feast on New Years Day which was the fifth anniversary of my Love and I, we’re very pleased ♥

Sooo anyways… Getting beyond the cutesy Yule theme that was up here for far too long… I created this gorgeous pink theme today. I love these colours, they’re fierce! And a new theme treat for you because you’ve been patient! I can promise that you won’t find this theme’s background just anywhere either, I made it totally on my own–original! Haha, but I really think its sweet…

Here ya go, Emote (with just a touch of Kawaii) for the BB 8900…

A lovely Yule theme for my fellow Pagans out here, perfect for any sort of blog especially something by or for a Pagan friend :-)  The layout is tiny, very narrow. Its a simple yet interesting and very green theme.

Another holiday theme for Wordpress. I was feeling creative, also my meds ran out so I’m pretty edgy with pain. I hope you like this, its simple yet quite appealing, I think :-)
