I am passionate about my love for music because music is pretty much my world. I don't really know what I would do without music in my life. I don't even want to think a life without music because it would really make me sick to my stomach. I try to listen to all types of music. Rock music, country music, pop music, R&B, classic rock the list could go on and on. I love Pink Floyd and Britney Spears the best. A weird combo but its my taste of music. I am becoming a big Lady GaGa fan. I love The Beatles. I could go on and on about music but I won't. | |

|  ABC's new show, FlashForward, looked on paper to be a captivating affair. We have the promise from the network that it will be the answer to the withdrawal symptoms that all the Lost fanatics will no doubt be suffering from when the show reaches its conclusion next summer. We have a genius high-concept premise - everyone on Earth blacks out for two minutes, and while unconscious has a vision of their life from six months in the future. The mass black-out causes world-wide bloodshed, and ten million people perish as vehicles collide, fires rage, and planes fall from the sky. The cast is also very promising - the ubiquitous British lead actors are all there (we are taking over the USA starting with their TV schedules!): Joseph Fiennes (Elizabeth, Shakespeare in Love), Sonya Walger (Lost), Dominic Monaghan (Lost, Wolverine), and Jack Davenport (The Talented Mr. Ripley, Pirates Of The Caribbean trilogy). The first episode delivered in spades - explosive carnage, an intriguing FBI investigation, and the set up for the rest of the season in place as all the lead characters deal with the impact of what visions of the future they have witnessed, and question their inevitability. But then, sadly, the show fell flat for me (and many others - most of the people I know who started watching the show, even those with usually less discerning tastes, have switched off). The continuous repetition of the flash forward scenes was tedious by the third time around, and the obligatory "will the ex alcoholic fall off the wagon?" plot is dull beyond belief. The entire show is built upon us questioning what fate will actually befall these characters, and whether their future is inevitable, but in the end we don't actually care. The problem, I feel, is that this first season is based on a single novel, and it must be a struggle for the writers to stretch the idea out in a manner that will lead in to forthcoming seasons (see also: Prison Break). There is a constant feeling that this show is not really going anywhere definite. It is billed as a follow-up to Lost, but what the makers of FlashForward seem to have neglected to notice is that JJ Abrams and co had an entire story arc spanning multiple seasons planned out before season one began, and have known all along how the show will progress and eventually conclude. I don't get the sense that FlashForward's makers have any where near this level of forsight. FlashForward is now taking a mid-season break after ten episodes, and I hope that when it returns in the new year the writers will have had time to step back and really think about what stories they want to tell and how they will crank up the action and move away from all the hand-wringing and melodramatic dialogue that this show is getting bogged down in. Because come the new year, Flashforward will be competing for viewer's attention with the remake of V (more of that in a future entry), the end of Dollhouse (again, I will write about that soon), season 8 of 24, and most significantly, the sixth and final season of Lost, the shoes of which no show can fill and it was unwise all along of ABC to think that FlashForward could. | |

| Another belated set of gig photos. This was my fourth time seeing the Wildhearts, and Paul's tenth. It was the first time Paul had seen them sitting down, as a security guard took pity on him after seeing his crutches and let him sit in the reserved seating area upstairs. I opted for the front of the moshpit, of course, and as a result my photos are somewhat unfocused. The Wildhearts played the entire of their new masterwork Chutzpah in the first set, which went down a storm among us hardcore fans who already knew every word off by heart. My personal favourite moment from this set was Tim Smith, a tribute to Cardiacs frontman Tim, who suffered from a severe stroke last year which has left him unable to play guitar or sing. The anthemic chorus goes "HALLELUJAH, HALLELUJAH, HALLELUJAH, all praise that the greatest man who ever walked on the earth is still around." Brings a tear to the eye every time. The second half was a storming set of fan favourites, some getting dusted down for a live outing for the first time in years. Truly, The Wildhearts are the greatest British rock band of the last twenty years and every one who was at this show knows it. 1st set: The Jackson Whites/Plastic Jebus/The Only One/John Of Violence/You Are The Proof That Not All Women Are Insane/Tim Smith/Low Energy Vortex/You Took The Sunshine From New York/Mazel Tov Cocktail/Chutzpah
2nd set: Nothing Ever Changes But The Shoes/29 x The Pain/Red Light,Green Light/Sick Of Drugs/Suckerpunch/My Baby Is A Headf*ck/A Geordie In Wonderland/Just In Lust/Caffine Bomb/I Wanna Go Where The People Go

Why do you drink Egg Nog around Christmas only.

do you know why they Disney movies the bad guy always loses or dies

| hey you,
I knocked over a box with a marker and avatar sunglasses. I remember they were a big thing in the 80's. Micheal Jackson and Tom Cruise rocked the look. Micheal Jackson's avatar were part of his moon walking look along with the glove. He is missed greatly. Tom rocked the look too. I love the avatar sun glass look best on Roger Waters but you may know that already. He looked so sexy back in the late 80's and early 90's with avatars, a suit coat with jeans and a sexy mullet. He pretty much wear almost anything and rock the look to me. Even if he were naked. No comment. That was prevy of me. Good lord!!

| hey you,
I am suppose to call my Dad soon. I have been sitting around on YouTube and drinking soda. Not cool huh? I wonder when they will be back. I am not counting on them being gone to long. I know I can hear cars but we are not the only house on the block. I wonder what the Hamptons are like. I wonder how it is to have everything but a Wal-Mart Super Store. Carrie Underwood said that about being famous not having a Wal-Mart Super store. I would love to have a big house, nice car, really high priced name brand clothing and to eat at fancy places to eat. I think every girl wants to be a princess like Paris Hilton in away. I am happy living of love and the blessings God has brought to me. As they say in Animal Farm "Every animal is equal but some animals more then others" I think that is how it went. Read the book it pretty damn good. It true that people who are rich and famous have so much and others are trying to get by. I feel that the statement about other folks do get more power and money then others. Its not fair in away but life isn't fair. I kind of wish it was.

| hey you,
I am back. I think Debbie and Don went to go look at the bed. The mail came but no mail for me. I made a misteak of words that I misunderstood. It was so little of a mess up. Don still got pissed. He is in a lot of pain so I can understand why. Men are babies when it comes to pain. Thats why God choose us women to give birth. I don't think a man can handle childbirth. Women I think can. I am not going to feel ashamed of something so small. I watched a show on cheatig that made me sick. Cheaters really never change. If I can't trust someone why would I stay with them it would be stupid to take them back. I am puked when I heard a guy slept with his girlfriend or wifes mother. That is a shitty thing to do to your child. If my mother did that I would never talk to her again. Though my mother never shocks me anymore. Its all about her. No one else but her. I am not close to her. I don't trust the woman. She never cared for me and I no longer give a fuck about her. She thinks she can hurt other people. She is going to be a lonely old woman. She made her bed and she has to sleep in it.

| hey you,
It seems like yesterday I was buying my first Pink Floyd CD and even my first Britney Spears tape. I am twenty two years old and I am still not sick of "Bye Bye Bye" by N'stink. I am still a big fan of The Wall and other Pink Floyd. I am still not sick of looking at certain pictures of Roger Waters. Though things have changed in many ways music is still a big part of life. I can still watch certian family movies from when I was a child and cry. I am still Libby. I love cats and Dr.Pepper.

| hey you,
I am pleased to say I try to help out. I only took out a sack of trash but I asked Debbie to help out but she said she didn't need any help. I am very happy for former class mates that have familys and having babies and getting married. I wish the best of luck with the children. A baby is a gift from God. I want to have a big family someday. Lots of babies. I want a lot of girls but in the end if the kid is healthy that is all that matters so I would not having a little man in my life. He will be a perfect gentlemen. I will raise my kids to be little ladies and gentle men. I hate rude kids that grow up to be rude adults. My parents taught us kids so say please when asking for something and thank you after getting something. If we were rude we were punished. Parents are not suppose to be friend they are parents. You raise your children to be mature adults not wild and rude adults. I am for times outs. I am not big on slapping or the soap treament. That is abuse.

| hey you,
I have my life back together and I hope things will get better as the years go by. I have noticed even the way I type is much more grown up. I had an E-mail sent back from one of the Pink Floyd admins that the way I was typing was really annoying. I then looked back at the way I was typing and it was childish so I changed my typing soon after. I know I still have things to work on. I am really bad at put things off and I do open my mouth without thinking. I think I opened my mouth last night. I called this guy a jerk and I don't know who it was. Not even his name. Well he may not be able to get mad at me because I never heard of him. I only now he is a guy and a doctor. That would be one out of a lot of people in this world and what not. Don was not to happy but he had a good reason to be pissed. My cheeks turned red. It felt like my cheeks were on fire.

| What if I really failed both courses now because I haven't done my homework? I only have six courses done then and failed three? Insane...
I am staring at the text in front of me and it is too late anyway and the words just don't get in... Oh well, I managed quite well the last two semesters. And now... I have no idea, this semester's been quite fucked up. I don't know what I am doing (at university) anyway...
Either what you want or what you think could be useful... If neither works... Anyway... I think I might go to bed now because my head cannot stand any more um, pressure. ^^
Good night and I'll dream of what I cannot do... including my Spacemen story, effin! | |

Roger is sexy. I can look at his pictures all day and day dream of X-rated shit. I am weird like that. I wonder if I am crazy. I am not like most girls my age.

| hey you,
I am bored. I want to do something crazy. I feel like buying beer. Opps I forgot I have no money. I guess Diet Dr.Pepper is safer then Bud Light. I have craved a cold beer for awhile. I am just not a good drunk. I am not crazy about hang overs either. My best picture of me was taken when I was hung over. I tell people I was sick. They don't need to know. It was embrassing. It is like your light headed and I ate food like crazy. Hang overs suck!!

| hey you,
I have been busy doing nothing. I guess Debbie was on Youtube all night. I wish I could pull all nighters. I use to stay up late like around 4 in the AM. One night I did pull an all nighter but I crashed in the afternoon. I was grumpy and bitchy and crying like a small child then I layed on the coach and fell asleep. That was the last all nighter I ever had. I used to wake up early in the AM and made food. My Dad found out and chewed me out. He has done the same thing to so he had no room to talk but he was right. I use to blog and shit at three o'clock in the AM. I was a crazy teenager. I did some crazy shit in my days but not to crazy.

| hey you,
Do you know what I think is weird? When I can remember things that happened a long time ago from when I was two to five. I can remember the day we set out to move from New England to Nebraska. I told my parents I was not going to move and that I was going to stay with Grandma. I think I got use to living in Nebraska after my parents divource but I thought if we lived in New England my folks may have stayed together but when I was older it came to me that if we stayed in New England they would have divourced sooner. I am in Oregon. I see big mountians in the background. My mom and sis moved to New England with my mom's father. I have a crazy family.

| hey you,
What have I been doing most of last night or today? Sleeping. I have been having the most scary or weird dreams ever. I mean I was talking to a ghost of a fallen soilder that died in WWII. Then I looked into the mirror and all I could see was the pale women with brown hair looking back at me. I ran all I could see were dead soilders all in my Dad's house. I saw a blonde girl looking back at me like she was going to kill me. She was tall and skinny and very pretty. I woke up after that. I was weirded out. I had some more weird dreams of a family of teenage girls that were getting knocked up and stuff. It was very odd. I was a wake at one point in the AM to take my meds and eat. Debbie is up. I saw the pictures of Brittany and her lovely baby boy. He is so cute.

| Since I'm seeing Alice Cooper this week, I should really bring my gig entries up to date. Starting with my second Punilux gig this year. After years of thinking we'd NEVER get to see them live, it was a real treat to get the chance to see them once, let alone twice! The set list was virtually the same as last time - most of Laughing Academy plus some b-sides and new tunes. The super-exciting thing about this gig, however, was that whilst on my way to the ladies' room, who should I bump in to but lead singer BRIAN BOND! I started grinning like a maniac, said "Alright, Brian?!" and shook the man's hand. I told him how much I enjoyed the last London gig and that I was really looking forward to that night's show. He seemed very nice and friendly. Paul also managed to get his crutches signed by guitarist Nevilluxury and drummer Steve Sekrit. ( Photos! ) | |

| hey you,
is Roger Waters that bad of a dude? I am sure he has done some stupid things but hasn't everyone? I don't like the bashing of Roger. Some people are real cunts and are brave enough to say nasty things about Rogers singing, music, looks whatever they can say to bring him down. I am pretty sick of it. I am into love with Rogers choice of cars. I wish I could be with him but that would make me a stalker. would it?

| hey you,
I am feeling bored. Life can be lame ass at times. I wish I could talk classes for writing and history. I really love to write and history has always been neat to study. I love to learn rare facts about shit that happened two hundred years ago. I miss school. The learning part. I love to learn something new. I am such a big nerd it is not funny. Some guy came to the door. A sales men. Those people bug the shit out of me. I try not to let sales folks in my house or those weird mormons that try to turn you into a weird mormon. LOL. I can be a bitch at times.

| hey you,
I spend time trying to be this perfect person. I am sick of ass kissing. Some people want you to kiss there ass. I do a good job to bring myself down. I can't be perfect and make people happy 24/7. You just can't do that. It can't be done so why even fucking try because there is no real reason. I messed things up on almost a couple of weeks ago. I am not a bad person. I don't think I am but I messed up tonight. Not as bad as the other day but it pissed people off. I need to hide. I hope I can stay up to watch House. Its House day.

| hey you,
We went to Safeway again Debbie and I. We bought pop, bread, and dinner. I could not find out how to use the damn cart. It took awhile to start working. Debbie didn't believe it and thought I was BSing her. I grabbed a cart and bought pop for me, Don and Casey. We went out of the store soon after. I admit dinner was good tonight. I would like to thank the folks at Safeway for making the meal. I have had only one can of my pop. Which is good. Law and Order is on. I took the trash out. It was to the point that things would fall out of the trash can. I just took it out and put a new bag in. I said something stupid and a little rude. I was not meaning to be rude but it came out very rude. I guess I made an ass of my self. Don was more angry. I think he is still mad at me for something that happened almost two weeks ago. I don't really know because I can't read peoples minds though it would be really cool if I could. I feel dumb about what I said. I will not lose sleep over it.
Love
