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.

Please, join Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, and follow them on Twitter and Facebook.

Facebook’s new Timeline: Here come the gifts!

Facebook’s new Timeline: Here come the gifts!



By Jason



Our Security Advisor Sean Sullivan has playing around with Facebook’s new Timeline layout.
His first impression is that it’s designed to encourage you to share and encourage your friends’ media consumption.
In the endless attempt to monetize a free service that about one billion human beings rely on, Facebook is also encouraging you to give your friends more than just warm birthday greetings. They want you to give gifts.
Here are some of the gifts my friends are recommended to give to me:

Yes, I am over 21 years old. Sean found that if you’re under 21, Facebook recommends chocolate instead of wine.
It’s natural to speculate that Facebook wants to become a recommendation engine that serves you media and gift recommendations based on your interactions. This — as always — will lead to some unintended consequences.
Perhaps, the next time you change your relationship status to “single”, your friends will see this gift recommendation:

Note from me: The last thing I want is anyone using this feature on Facebook. I won't use it when there's a special day for a friend, relative or acquaintance, so I seriously hope no one uses it when my birthday arrives. Unless there is a "The I Have a Psychotic Stalker" Knife Set...in purple or green, thank you. ;)

Story summary:
This is a heart warming story of love and adventure. In order to reunite his family, a young prince of the sea cat kingdom travels to a far away land in search of his younger sister. Can he find her and save the kingdom?  Once you start to read this book, you will love the constant surprises and beautiful illustrations.

Author and illustrator:
Phoenix is my pen name. My family name is Chiu. I was born in I-Lan, Taiwan. My highest diploma is a bachelor degree from the Applied English Department of Ming Chuan University. I worked as English sales secretary in import and export companies for several years. I now lives in the United States. I loves writing, drawing, cooking, and photography. I had dozens of essays and healthy recipes published in the World Journal Newspaper and World Journal Weekly Magazine between 2009 and 2010. Recently, I has devoted myself to creating children's story books and illustrations. The World Journal Newspaper has published eight of my children's stories. They are A Girl Stole a Book” ,“Ran Away Cat”(series) , “The Cat on the Patio”, “The Poor Horse”,“A Little Girl Wrote the Diary,Cat Prince(series)”, “The Poor Artist in the Valley(series)”,, “Sea Cat”(series). Every story of mine is written to inspire children to be their best. My writing is fine and delicate. When children read my stories and see my cute, lively and bright pastel illustrations, they will feel as if they have been transported to another wonderful fairy tale world.



Editor:
The book has been edited by Mr. Rousso, my native born American husband, who revised this book in American English. He has a doctor of law degree from the University of Washington in Seattle,U.S.A.

Phoenix wrote a letter to parents and grandparents:
For you, what is the most precious gift in the world? When you and your children read this story, you will find out. There is nothing sweeter than the family love. That is the moral of this story. Reading is a good way to cultivate your children's better angels. In this story, they will learn about the brave spirit of Vegas and his love of his family and Susans kindness.

This book is for children age 6-12, but you also can read it for your children if they are under 6.
  I hope you and your children enjoy this book very much.

The inspiration of Sea Cat:
This story is inspired by Phoenix's two lovely cats, Orange and Vegas. Vegas looked like a gentlemen dressed in tuxedo. It was adopted from Human Society. Orange is white as snow except for an orange spot on its back. It was a street cat but Phoenix decided to adopt it after it visited her many times. Orange and Vegas came from different families but they loved each other very much like brother and sister. Therefore, Phoenix writes this special warm feeling into this book.
