I sit here at midnight to tell you all I am to stressed to blog. So why am I blogging? Dunno why exactly except to tell you all I am too stressed to do so. Which I have said twice already. I am trying to get back in the swing of things & I have not traded with any bees. I feel bad. But damnit I am just too stressed to do anything online right now. I even dropped out of all my swaps on swap-bot.com. I have never done that. Nighty night sleep tight because I won’t. My period started after not having one for 3 months & I am about to die here.

P.S. I have a new crocheted square pattern to write up. A No Holes Granny Square!

I am sitting here watching VH1’s I Love The New Millenium. They brought up guyliner. They discussed how it is a fad only for emo bands and those who think the world is falling apart such as the emo people do. Yes you hinted sarcasim there. All you emo people who whine about nothing need to grow up. Anyhow incase you have never heard of the ‘fad’ here is a few definitions for you.

From Urban Dictionary…

1. Eyeliner for guys.
4.Eyeliner applied on a man. Once formerly the territory of only homosexuals,punk rockers and showmen, well-applied guyliner is slowly but surely becoming more socially acceptable for heterosexual men who ascribe to metrosexualism, glamour, and general fabulousness.

Wikipedia has no definition or entry for guyliner sadly.

I have a correction for the dear people at VH1. Guyliner, or rather eyeliner, has been around for many many years. It started in the rock/metal scene (the late 60s & early 70s) as a way for the performers eyes to been seen more clearly as eye contact is important. For people like me to really grasp the meaning of some songs I must look into the performers eyes. The first man I saw wearing eyeliner was Ozzy Osbourne in 1986. Doing more research he was wearing eyeliner before I was born (I was born in 1980). The next guy I saw wearing eyeliner was Alice Cooper. Then there was pretty much every punk band wearing eyeliner as well as Axl Rose, Marilyn Manson, Trent Reznor, Kirk Hammet, David Draiman (Disturbed), & Jonathan Davis. Guyliner was important for a lot of performers before the emo scene came about.

Guyliner is NOT an emo fad. The emo genre has taken it to new heights and sadly (in my view) has made it harder for men to wear eyeliner. They already had issues being labeled homosexual for wearing eyeliner but now they must also have to deal with being labeled an emo and homosexual. Really now come on. How many men do you see wear eyeliner that is homosexual? Not that many if any at all I am sure. No I am not a fan of the emo genre. I hate the fact that the fad of men wearing eyeliner is all ‘new’ when in fact I grew up idolizing men (performers of heavy metal & rock music) wearing eyeliner and make up. Carlos Mencia has made his view on the emo genre public on one of his shows a few weeks ago and I invite you all to watch that skit. It is called I Can’t Go On.

With all this being said…. Jared Leto looks much better without eyeliner while eyeliner makes most men look 100% better. I guess this turned into a rant about the emo genre. Talking about the emo genre cutting yourself IS NOT an emo fad either. But that is for another post when I am willing to let you in on part of one of my most dark secrets.

P.S.  Thanks Rachael & Lisa.  I will try those suggestions to fix the images on my site.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have a problem with my theme. Nothing major really but rather bothersome to me. The image on the left is how my site looks in the Flock Browser and that is how it is intended to look. The next screen shot on the right is how it looks in Internet Explorer. It is missing background images for all images governed by the footer, flickr, flickr265, img-right, & img-left div tags.

Below is my CSS for the following tags….
.img-left {float: left; padding: 3px; background: url(img/wrapperbg.png)repeat top center; border: 1px solid #666666; margin: 6px;}

.img-left img {border: 1px solid #666666; }

.img-right {float: right; padding: 3px; background: url(img/wrapperbg.png)repeat top center; border: 1px solid #666666; margin: 6px;}

.img-right img {border: 1px solid #666666; }

#footer { text-align: center; background: url(img/footerbg.gif)repeat bottom center; color: #666666;}

#flickr {text-align: center;padding: 3px; background: url(img/flickrbg.gif)repeat top center; border: 1px solid #666666; padding-top: 25px; padding-bottom: 25px;}

#flickr img {border: 1px solid #666666; background: url(img/wrapperbg.png)repeat top center; padding: 3px;}

.flickr {text-align: center;padding: 3px; background: url(img/flickrbg.gif)repeat top center; border: 1px solid #666666; padding-top: 25px; padding-bottom: 25px;}

.flickr img {border: 1px solid #666666; background: url(img/wrapperbg.png)repeat top center; padding: 3px; width: 80px; height: 80px;}

.flickr365 {text-align: center;padding: 3px; background: url(img/wrapperbg.png)repeat top center; border: 1px solid #666666; padding-top: 25px; padding-bottom: 25px;}

.flickr365 img {border: 1px solid #666666; background: url(img/footerbg.gif)repeat top center; padding: 3px;}

In the Nekkid theme Melissa gives a CSS sheet to make fixes for IE… Do I need to add something to it to make it look right in IE?
