About My Blog.

Welcome! This is "Catatonic Digressions."
Most readers don't understand my blog's title. It's an old inside joke from a forum long gone. I was going to change it, but since it's been "confusing" for so long, I decided to leave it. Don't worry about what it means, the content of the blog is what matters...or not

Unfortunately, my blog isn't what I set out for it to be. A sick woman in Orleans, MA began stalking me in 2007 on Myspace. Since that time, this woman obsessed over me to the point of having the police come to her home and threaten to confiscate her laptop. She is a racist and anti-Semite.I could no longer blog freely, knowing this nutbag was just going to take the photos I'd post and put them on a child exploitation website.

This site is only up for the information it has that others might need to know about. That information is about "Seal Shepherd" aka Michael McDade, Kat McAboy aka Marilyn McAboy and Veronika Hompo, a self-proclaimed Nazi.


I'm a real person. I'm real and I don't pretend to be someone I'm not. After years of putting up with online abuse by manipulative, pathological liars, attention whores or narcissists, I've had it. Don't bother me with pathetic drama. I have no time for these types of people and their need to absorb others' time and attention.

This blog is no longer used. I've retired it for the most part unless something very important comes up.

Yes, I'm Still Alive!

Hello, friends, acquaintances, strangers, the lurking passerby and my stalker! I'm still here. I've come across quite a few topics to blog about, but just haven't had the time to sit down and compose a neat and fresh blog entry. I've also had a lot on my mind I've wanted to blog about, but I feel I still have to censor myself because I know the stalker still lurks in the shadows of the zeros and ones of the internet, and it keeps me, unfortunately, from posting what I want to. Trust me, it ticks me off. Had I not seen a tweet from someone just the other day — a little twitter blurb stating that said annoyance had still been trying to annoy — I'd have started openly blogging about everything I've always wanted to. for now, I'm still on hold…

Catch you all soon. 




My dear cat Buster from April 2005.
R.I.P. Buster, we all miss you!

(Yes, I rescued him off the streets, of course! The friendliest feral in Long Beach!)

There Really is No Telling!

35 lbs of Psilocybin Peanut Butter Cups meant for Bonnaroo intercepted by Tennessee police

Nearly 35 pounds of Psilocybin (hallucinogenic) mushrooms baked into about 500 chocolate peanut butter cups were intercepted by Murfreesboro Police vice detectives before being sold at Bonnaroo music festival beginning Thursday in Manchester.

Vice detectives Wednesday raided the Kingwood Drive home of suspect Charles Culver, 22, and located the illegal drug with a street value of $10,000, said police spokesman Kyle Evans.

"We have seen an increase in LSD over the past several years and this is another form or substitute for that drug," Evans said.

"The affects are hallucinogenic in nature, similar to LSD. They are very dangerous and there have been incidents of people dying the first time they used this drug."

Origin of the mushrooms is not being disclosed.

"There's no telling how many lives these detectives have saved by keeping these drugs off the street and they should be commended for an outstanding investigation leading to these arrests," Evans said. [The Murfreesboro Post]

There really is no telling.


Between the Lines from ZDNet.com: AT&T's Really Bad Week (and I Still Can't Have an iPhone with Verizon Wireless.)

I WANT an iPhone. I DON'T want AT&T. I had an iPhone when they were first released. I actually returned it. Yes, me, the Apple pusher, the Mac manic, the one who would never turn away an Apple product actually returned an iPhone — because it was useless to me without my wireless provider.

AT&T's really bad week: The network reputation hits keep coming

Posted by Larry Dignan @ 3:42 am
It’s safe to say AT&T is ready for the weekend. The telecom giant has had a horrid week with a backlash against iPhone 3G S and complaints about the network. The latter item may create the most lasting damage.
For now, much of the focus is on AT&T’s upgrade pricing for the iPhone 3G S. Simply put, if you want the new iPhone and you’re still under contract you won’t get it for $199. You’re on the hook for $399. Apple iPhone fans, the types who are used to upgrading when a new device is available, are pushing a Twitter petition. AT&T informs folks that it is listening to the complaints.

Lost in this hubbub are the anecdotal signs that the reputation of AT&T’s network is taking a hit. When the Apple-AT&T exclusive iPhone deal ends we may learn that AT&T emerged with its reputation in tatters. A bad reliability reputation will last well beyond the iPhone exclusive. Let’s recap the signs that AT&T’s network is becoming a punch line:

  • As reported by Sam Diaz, WWDC attendees chuckled when AT&T was mentioned at the iPhone 3G S launch. Apple was laughed at when it was mentioned that AT&T would support MMS. AT&T wasn’t mentioned in the same sentence with tethering. And you know that “S” is a joke waiting to happen. Speed? Try slow.



  • AT&T promises a significantly faster network. That’s good news for iPhone users. The bad news: It’s an admission that AT&T can’t handle the iPhone traffic and is slow about upgrading its network.

  • Verizon Wireless is deftly taking advantage of AT&T’s network troubles. Last month, Verizon Wireless chief Lowell McAdam said that AT&T’s “ceiling for their network will be the floor for our network.” McAdam called AT&T’s announcement on its network upgrade old news—about a year old. He also noted AT&T’s promises to upgrade speed are spin.

  • Even Howard Stern, who chose a BlackBerry Bold over the Palm Pre, notes that he can’t make calls on AT&T’s network without being dropped repeatedly. Stern’s sidekick Artie Lange—and others on staff—mention that Verizon Wireless is flawless. Verizon Wireless usually has to pay for a commercial like that.

And the hits just keep coming. Don’t be surprised if Jay Leno and David Letterman start knocking AT&T in monologues. It’s not immediately clear how AT&T can counter the perception that its network can’t hang with heavy data usage, but it better figure out something quick.
It’s nice that AT&T is listening to the iPhone pricing backlash, but it may be focusing on the wrong problem.
