Okay Guys!
For those who follow my blog and drop by to be disappointed by my laziness on a frequent basis, I have found this website...
More like my boyfriend begged me to join this so he could test it. But it's called Twitter. If you sign up you can receive messages for when I update my blog. If you don't sign up, all you have to do is go to this page:
http://twitter.com/MShellC
And you'll be able to see if I have updated my blog there. :)
YAY! Now I think this will give me the energy to update this more...It's sorta like a report card. lol
I'll use it to update other things like when I post artwork on Deviant Art or when I put up more of my voice demos. lol
That is all! I'll talk to you guys soon!
Faithful Five...etc...(lol)
Love, Peace, and Hair Grease!

One question...
They can create a pill that make the penis grow bigger, but they can't do other things like create a pill that cures AIDS, or Cancer, or Sickle Cell, or Diabetes...
They can talk about celebrities on the News but they can't talk about what's happening in 3rd world countries where their lives are wracked with Civil Wars and genocides...
They can afford to drop millions of dollars on entertainment like movies and sports figures but they can't afford to give our schools money to help boost the quality of education that our kids receive...
They can pay farmers money to NOT plant food and produce fruits/vegetables but they can't feed every single last American...
Why?
Because our government and our people have messed up priorities...
There are many more examples of this but it's 4 am here and I need to sleep. I needed to get these thoughts out because they were bothering me.
Until next time Faithful Five (and the rest of you people. lol)

I Don't Understand
Okay so back to this online website that I work for as an administrator:
I am to the point where I feel physically/mentally drained but instead of allowing them to drain me, I've decided to put some quiet hours into effect. The quiet hours will compose of 90% of my life! lol I'm the kinda person who everyone comes to for advice. So they all come to me for advice...
Now my question is, for a website that is based on hip hop and comic books, why is there a lot of drama?! The majority of the drama lies within one group! I don't understand mob mentalities...I don't participate in them either yet I see people who I respect falling in line like sheep everyday.
For those who don't know me, I am a non-conformist through and through. I am used to working for changes. I see things that I don't like and that aren't effective I speak up and try to help foster some change. I guess cats like me are an anomaly?
Most likely because I see adults on a game site who are unhappy because they want to stay in a particular group. Yes, it is like high school! You have your different cliques but these cliques are based on the typical comic book divisions like Heroes, Villains, Vigilantes, Beatniks, and Nomads. Guess what group I'm in? *winks*
Anyways, I understand folks inability to stand up for themselves in real life...But on a computer gaming site? You would think that being over a computer and interacting with people that you'll never meet would make folks bold, but it doesn't. They become more afraid of standing up for themselves, going against the grain, and even leaving their own cliques.
To me, it's SICK AND INSANE. You may call me judgmental but is the site paying these people's bills? It's not like it's a job that supports you and your families. It's not putting food on your tables so why do you care about what people who don't know you think about you?
I will never understand the complexities of the human nature, but dang it...It is making me sick to my stomach.
Give me a non-conformist any day! To all my non-conformists I say, if I could surround myself with you all, I would! I would put all the sheep to one side of the world and we'll rule the other 1/2. Wouldn't that sound good? I think so!
Okay Faithful Five (and you slackers),
Love, Peace, and Hair Grease!

(Insert your own title here)
For those who may not know this, I work on a website. It's a funky site. I started out about 2-3 years ago as a regular member. I wanted to find a place to play cool games and there it was! I got to meet the makers of the site and they were both cool guys so I started to help them out a bit. It started with small tasks and after 2 years, I was finally made an administrator...Which was totally cool in my book. lol
But I'm not here to brag...I sorta need to vent and vent in a hardcore manner. It could be because my sleep was interrupted by a disturbing dream that had me die twice or it could be because, as my friend Gen put it, it's my time o' the month. lol
In either case, I still need to vent. You see, this site started out as a fun kids' site. Adults were there and we liked it because we could regress a lil bit, pretend to be super beings, and interact with each other. Those were the days I tell you. We never took anything to heart and the atmosphere was completely light...We knew each other and the entire idea was, "I KNOW 'Greg' didn't mean that in a serious way because that's not how he is!" The problem is, as the site grew, it became harder for us to get to know each other personally. I know for me, one of my old yahoo instant messenger ids was retired because I had too many people on there talking to me. I could write or create while talking to 5 or more people. It was completely hard, I couldn't take it any longer so I go on there only when people ask me to do so...
But I'm not here to talk about that...
Why is it that adults have to spoil something so innocent? As much as my friends tell me that this isn't true, I still wonder if I'm also part of the problem? When you tease someone you barely know, they are going to take it seriously and explode. In addition, I don't know if you all know this but I can pretty much push anyone's button. I could make Mother Theresa reach out and swing at me...I just have that personality. In real life I don't do that unless pushed to the extreme but on the site, I let my playful nature play...Because it's a game...Right? Well, I don't think most folks know that I'm a very playful person AND I don't know how these folks live...
Some of them *puts on psychologist hat* really seem as if they have a bad life. It's as if people spend their time picking on them so they come to the site to be the big bad person who picks on others. It's their way of sticking it to those who hurt them on a daily basis. Now add my playful teasing nature to this situation...What do you have?
That's right an explosion. In the beginning I was SO careful with how I interacted with folks but they kept poking me playfully. lol But those were people in the past, most of them have left and we even had a few who passed away, which was painful...
At this moment, I'm stepping away from the social aspect of the site. I know...I know..."Max is that POSSIBLE?!" Yes, lol, it is. After grad school, I've pretty much been tamed. I guess it was the 3 years living on my own working full time and going to school full time. If you wanted to get good grades, you couldn't spend too much time socializing...It was nearly impossible! *smiles*
Somehow I blame myself for some of the issues on the site and because of that, I'm going to remove myself. If anyone from that site is reading this, let me ask you something...
If you were a kid and you were reading all of this, what would you think?
I know if I placed myself in their shoes, I wouldn't feel comfortable at all. Heck I would leave a find a child friendly site that didn't allow adults to come play. lol Seriously...
Everyone, including myself, need to think about the purpose of the site and work towards it...If you can't do that, then why are you on an adult site? There are adult sites all over the internet...Join one of those.
Pensively Yours,
Max
