The good, the bad and the ugly.

February 20th, 2007 by cooper

The good news and the bad news, for you and for me.

For the next week or so I’m going to ligh­ten it up here in hopes that in a week from now the world will have chan­ged, everything will be pea­ce­ful, ever­yone will be happy, all evil will have disap­pea­red and we can get on with life. Chan­ces are good the situa­tion is not going to change of course and we are back to where we star­ted and I will be back to pos­ting things which are not always that plea­sant to read.

The other good — some peo­ple actually remem­ber posts I wrote two years ago…

In the meantime.

The bad news: In the words of my (oh so hot for a tech geek) coder man, “your host hosed your site”.

Life goes on eh?

I’m going to play a little; if you hap­pen to have your face stic­king out of my blog log side­bar at any given time you may just find your­self exposed.….….……in won­der­land or not.

I’m gonna click on a ran­dom stal­ker, go visit their site then come here and tell you good peo­ple all about it.

The ugly:

Scratch that part, there just isn’t any ugly around here.

    Did I miss something? Are peo­ple upset about something you said? I admit, I don’t nor­mally read other people’s com­ments, so I may have mis­sed something. Any­way, I hope what you want to hap­pen, hap­pens. But I like what you write.

    I think “hosed account” means fuc­ked up the whole thing not hosed it down for rot­ten con­tent. I’m sure someone would have liked to hose it down for con­tent they didn’t agree with at some time or other but I don’t think that is what she meant.

    What points do I get for suf­fe­ring through the dj years?

  3. TwistedNo Gravatar says:

    She’s pro­bably tal­king about me. Though, I was already expo­sed on here before. Could I be that “spe­cial” to get another hono­ra­ble mention?

    Hmm, not sure. But, for the record, I only came to view the site, because I was going to help you in the WP.org forums. You left two help requests there, and no one else had bothe­red to help you, so, I was going to “try” to give it ago.

    Of course, I was log­ged in to my “MyBlo­gLog” account in Fire­fox, and ope­ned your site in Fire­fox as well. Hence the rea­son for my face to be on your side­bar. Also, if it’s me you’re refe­rring to as being a “stal­ker”, believe me, I’m not stal­king you.. ;)

    I was just going to try and lend a hand in the WP.org forums, but, I don’t think I can though, because I’m not fami­liar with those types of issues. As for expo­sing someone, or, anyone as such, you really don’t have to, their sites pretty much tells the world about them­sel­ves any­way.. so…

    coyote: No the guy who loo­ked at the back end of my site told me that. It has nothing to do with what I write it has to do with other things.

    casey: exactly, for a blond you are very smart. You are still blond right casey? Points? If I had a point for every time.….…..

    twis­ted: Don’t flat­ter your­self I was calling them all stal­kers long before you came around and I am just having fun with it.

    You wouldn’t need to be so para­noid if you would stop pos­ting things on your site which you know are bla­tantly wrong.

    Haha, Ok. Wheew!

    You wouldn’t need to be so para­noid if you would stop pos­ting things on your site which you know are bla­tantly wrong.

    I know, I guess most was writ­ten for con­tro­ver­sial enter­tain­ment rea­sons though… Really, I don’t even have much time to write on the VB blog any­more, hence the rea­son for brin­ging aboard 3 other writers.

    A lot of the time, I don’t even post “new” stuff. I just bump the old junk to the front­page. And again, which 98% of it, was writ­ten up while I was drunk, and pis­sed off.

    Hence the rea­son for the name “Vin­dic­ti­ve­Bas­tard”, because a lot of that was just relea­sing angry fee­lings, thoughts, self opi­nions, and such, towards ex-girlfriends, female co-workers, and so forth…

    I should have just writ­ten a lot of the crazy talk on a blog, on the localhost, or even on paper I guess. But, I didn’t.. so, now it’s publi­cally acces­si­ble. Since then, I just figu­red screw it, and just pos­ted about whatever…in a weird, psycho­tic way…

    I know you don’t like my VB blog, and out of res­pect for your other com­men­ters, vie­wers, and even you, I’m not lin­king my name in here, with the com­ments I’m lea­ving. If you could, or wouldn’t mind doing, it’s up to you though. Maybe hide/remove my “face” from you sidebar? ;) :)

    Again, it’s up to you though. ;) Again, I’ll try my best to help you in the WP.org forums, though, I might not have the best ans­wer for everything sigh. I hate seeing peo­ple go “unans­we­red” in there… Which of course, has been hap­pe­ning to you lately. :(

    Tech­ni­cally, I haven’t even been in there much either sigh… I’ve just so wrap­ped up in other stuff. Any­way, even if you do write up another article on me, I wouldn’t care. I don’t want another “battle of the words” with you again. Once was enough for me! LOL!

    My VB blog is, just what it is… Not ever­yone is going to love it, or even like it. Ever­yone can easily just ignore it as well… Again, I’m sorry it upsets you, and I’m sorry for upset­ting you before… Like I also said before, I DO like your blog, I DO like your writings. :)

    I wish you the best with get­ting your hos­ting issues straigh­te­ned out, and again, I’ll try to help you in the forums too. ;) :) Now, I must get wor­king on a theme, which I star­ted many months ago, and haven’t even touched since then sigh.. later folks! :)

    Don’t you hate it when the world and it’s real-life pro­blems intrude on a space where you think you can leave all of that behind. I don’t know what I’d do if my site ever got hosed to the point where I had to blog about it.

    I’d pro­bably just die and get it over with.

  7. OK, I’m going straight to myblo­glog and donate one of my mug shots. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

  8. DawgNo Gravatar says:

    All’s well so far. You seem well maintained.

    I think when someone remem­bers a two-year-old post, it’s ok to call them stalkers.

  9. o ceallaighNo Gravatar says:

    To thine own self be true, Laer­tes … oops, sorry, Cooper. ;)

  10. piaNo Gravatar says:

    I only remem­ber the best of the “I’m just a 20.…” will never
    let you for­get that because you were always so much
    more.

    Blog­ging can be dan­ge­rous for peo­ple who give a damn

    I deci­ded to blog light. Some­ti­mes I can’t help but throw things in
    I hope you’re enjo­ying the day. It’s beautiful

  11. piaNo Gravatar says:

    Meant to say you’re being espe­cially ran­dom today, and
    I think hosed down is simi­lar to what hap­pe­ned to my blog

  12. jacobNo Gravatar says:

    I’m not a blog log­ger, maybe I should be.

    I indi­ca­ted below I star­ted rea­ding you after your “things I lear­ned in college” but I rarely mis­sed one of your posts from that time on.

    Looks good from here but what do I know I still have an old blog­ger account and a new free word­press account.

    I don’t mind being con­si­de­red a stalker.

  13. JasonNo Gravatar says:

    Heh…don’t mean to laugh, but it’s a sad day when Blog­ger is more relia­ble than WordPress.

    Well, play, dam­mit, play, woman. You deserve it.

    Lol…feel free to steal my avatar…might be chan­ging, as I just lear­ned that some­body here in Oxford appa­rently has a pic of me, lol, being just a tad fun myself with friends (Johnny Wal­ker, good. Jason doing shots of JW…bad.)

  14. kaitNo Gravatar says:

    I have not chec­ked into that thing since I sig­ned up but you know I’m a face­book whore, I wish you’d come back …

    You are fun when you play, something so few know.

  15. kaitNo Gravatar says:

    I meant to say you are fun when you come out to play.

  16. cooperNo Gravatar says:

    mojo: Yeah I’m thin­king of just dying mojo…lol

    inde: A mighty fine face it is inde.

    Doug: I’m extre­mely well main­tai­ned and not only on the back end.

    Yes I do call them stalkers…

    oc: Always.……and I didn’t even have to look that one up…

    pia: Some­ti­mes one must throw away the specifics.…..

    jacob: I enjoy all my stal­kers I think it is impor­tant to have as many as possible.

    jason: self hos­ted word­press is dif­fe­rent, I’ve never had an issue with the free word­press but the self hos­ted allows not only me to mess up the insi­des but my host to mess up the insides.

    I don’t think I’ve ever seen you show up on myblog log. I ima­gine quite a few peo­ple in Oxford have your pic­ture by now Jason.

    kait: yes you are a fb whore, and thanks I am fun to play with most of the time.

  17. jenniferNo Gravatar says:

    I hosed my own sight and then for­got what i named it,

    I’m loo­kig for it now.

    I’m stu­dent teaching and we had a few minu­tes where we dis­cus­sed blogs.

  18. BennetNo Gravatar says:

    Seriously, I’m deba­ting my blog.
    There’s only a hand full or items I’d actually want to hold on to just for refe­rence sake.

    The side bar thing is nice, but is it. another rea­son to spam me?

  19. johnNo Gravatar says:

    ha,

    I remem­ber old posts from dj but didn’t read your blog the first year,.I’m not sure I knew it was here. I think you were hiding it.

    No ugly here is right.

    You’re good when you play, you play not often enough.

  20. cooperNo Gravatar says:

    You all look really cute on my side­bar keep-em coming I am easy to enter­tain these days.

    jen: How lovely to see you again. where ya teaching? See jake or casey as he calls him­self these days?

    Ben­net seriously move to word­press, I’m hating on the blogs­pot­ters these days.

    john: I was just tired of ever­yone and yea ever­yone here is beau­ti­ful. I play as much as I have time to play, one wrong move and zap — I’m out of the running.

  21. I wish I could remem­ber the things I wrote two years ago.

  22. cooperNo Gravatar says:

    Inde: I know you pro­bably remem­ber every word you ever wrote, at least somewhere in the deep dark recess of your mind.

  23. sauerkrautNo Gravatar says:

    I’m not a stal­ker. I’m just your every­day lovea­ble visitor.
