Comic Book Look..

These images are protected under my ©Copyright -RicTresa 2008

I recently learned a trick in Photoshop that has enabled me to make my graphics appear to be comics. I dig the look and have some plans for a photo album that will look like a large comic book. It ought to be fun! -R

Kid Rock..

Man, I don't know how much my old guy opinion means.. outside of my own self inflation, BUT.... Kid Rock is the best! Now, I don't as a rule like Rap in any shape or form but the Kid knocks it out. YEOW! This image is ©KidRock.

Social Networking 101.. F minus.

Social Networking 101.. F minus. I am done with the online social thing. After joining my first one over 3 years ago the charm has run it's course and I'm done. It isn't like I had a bunch of kooks run me off, or anything like that, (it was only one.. just one.) But you know what? One is all it should take for anybody because like it or not, there are a BUNCH of KOOKS on the loose in the real world, and any one of them could show up on your front porch some night, (like happened to an author friend of mine, a few years back.) My friend wrote romantic novels and he wrote them really good and with style so much so this Kook thought that his books were messages to her to find him because he wanted to make a life with her. Even though he wrote under an assumed name.. she found him and showed up on his door step at zero dark thirty one night, The very door step that him his wife and son were all fast asleep on the other side there of. She didn't understand why he didn't invite her in or why he had a wife and so much did she get Kookier, the cops were called.. she was hauled off and Joe had to move. So that is it and that is all for me folks. I learn from my friend's mistakes... I'm staying on my own playgrounds and writing for nobody in particular forever more. It's allot easier this way. I'll still do my art for others to enjoy and use on their desktops but gone forever more is my presence on a forum in any form other than a shout box or two. I may, (from time to time,) come back to this subject... Maybe, maybe not.

HOLY CRAP! These guys are great. I really like their music.

Fanboy..

Looks like I have a fan base..

I know you are looking, Pussyboy.

I know you are sneaking around, David. Everybody who comes to any of my web pages has their location and ISP recorded into a file that I look at daily. I know, (for instance) that you have looked my pages over, 24 times in this last month. What are you looking for, some mention of you and your silly internet games.. Hiding behind made up persona's? Attacking me on forums pretending to be offended over my use of the word, "Clown?" Well, you are in luck! Because this post is all about you. I don't get you at all... You clown. The last time I interacted with you, (or so I thought) was when we were both members of Spymac, back in 2004. You got some hair up your ass and got offended with nearly everybody in the community.. Started your stupid bullshit of threatening people, (the threads are there for the reading. Good old Spymac doesn't delete the membership accounts.. remember?) *LINK HERE* (Even with Broadband, it is a long loader but with a little patients it is there for the looking.)So anyhow.. like I was saying. You left the site in a huff and that was it! You were forgotten. Forgotten that is until the first of 2007 when you showed up at a online community that I was a member of. This time, though, you came back under an assumed name. "Farandolae." At first you fooled me, I just assumed you were a new member and when you first started posting in the various threads, your writing style got my interest but still I didn't suspect anything amiss. You were expressing your shock at a spymac member's comment about a, "porch-monkey".. I wanted to put you at ease and try to explain to you that the person making that remark was a well known moron and a clown. Suddenly, you launch a tirade against me accusing me of being no more than a racist for suggesting poor edscoble a clown. The very same person you were so shocked and outraged over. Suddenly, I was the beast of the play. Well this 2nd clue really got me thinking. Some things you were saying in various posts were sounding familiar and I googled them, which led me back to you. "Surprise! Surprise! Surprise!" says Gomer Pyle. When I googled your new handle I found out that Farandolae are not real; "Quote" mitochondria (and the fictive entities living within them, the farandolae) "End Quote" It's from a story.. A kids book, *A Wind in the Door* I remembered you telling me once that you home schooled your kids. Billy Bingo! Lookie here! Another piece of the puzzle dropped into place yet I still kept quiet. I didn't give your secret up, well... I did to one person but only after you had insulted her as well but other than her, I didn't tell anybody else, (until today.) I just sat back and waited for you to hang yourself. You really got into the pretending part of the deal and exposed parts of you that you couldn't keep hidden because it is your act. You play the same part, over and over again... You just change the players names along the way. So it was pretty easy to find out the truth, David, and when you just kept posting those, "outraged" posts about that awful website that you had never seen before.. Spymac and all those awful people.. I couldn't help myself. I called a Tool a Tool. I called your hand and laid my proof out on the table for all to see. Suddenly everybody became aware of the fact that you were a phony-baloney. The curtain was pulled aside to expose the Great and Terrible Oz.. Ohh, the drama.. It was enough to flip you out though, didn't it? You reported it to the thread moderator, (who unlucky for you, just happened to be me.) The email came to my email address. In this email you didn't deny that everything I said was true, you made it true by not saying it wasn't so and by lying, saying my post was a personal attack on you and your wife and suggesting that I had been guilty of it in the past, (I have the email with that big fat lie, don't you forget it.) You went on to demand the post removed and so it was removed. I can't figure out by whom, but I have a pretty good idea. He is also a first rate chicken shit such as yourself. The bad news now is that I control this ball park. I have never harassed you or your family in the past, present or future. It is a bald faced lie and you know it. All the links I found were posted publicly on the internet. They weren't behind a password protected website that I cracked to get in. All I did was to expose you as a liar. Get over it and yourself, quit stalking me, leave me alone and move on with your life.

Thank you St Jude..

"God, thank you for all the grace and favors which you have given me through the prayers of your Apostle, Jude Thaddeus. St. Jude, I thank you for your intercession in response to my prayers. I will always be grateful to you and will spread the devotion to you. Be with us always so we may face our problems with courage and serenity."
