A Wolf In Sheep's Clothing...

Have you ever looked back on your life and wish somehow someone had never entered it?  I mean...NOW you can see that they were/are, NO good nothings but then, boy they pulled the wool over your eyes!  I mean...what is it about people who just totally walk around with a serious cloak of dishonesty surrounding them yet we can't see it?  Some of those people we can easily just toss over our shoulder and keep moving forward, but sometimes you have someone who came into your life like gangbusters and then left just as hard stomping all over you.

I'd rather know that this/these devious devilish people are who they are from the start and not later down the road. I rather others stop being afraid to let you know that this 'new' person in your life may not have your best interest at heart. I've seen times when someone said, after the hurt and tears...'oh...I so wanted to tell you how they were but I was scared to get in the middle'. What?! So you'd rather just stand by and wait for them to hurt me like you KNOW that they are going too?  Then I have to wonder...'what kind of friend are you?'

A true friend would tell me the moment they suspected that this person who has entered into my space, my life, that something may not be as it seems.  A true friend would at least warn you to stay on your toes around this person. A true friend doesn't stand by and wait for the hurt and THEN think they are being a true and helpful friend by coming forward after the fact.

I'd rather someone be a little mad at me because I forewarned them than to wait and have to console them later because I possibly could have averted or even prevented the pain. Maybe this bad person won't do a thing to them, but still...if YOU know they are un-trusthworthy and have a terrible history...and terrible track record for lies, deceit and hurt...I'd still feel better making you aware of this.

If you are my true friend as I am yours...you will know that I'm not saying anything to be mean or cause trouble; you will know that I'm saying this to help you...not hurt you.  I'm trying to help you put on your armor and shield BEFORE the dragon attacks...better to be safe than sorry.

IDGAF

What is with people who just because something happens or something has happened that you don't understand you automatically put 'your take' on it.   You automatically make statements that are just that...statement although made without fact.  So you see something that was written and you automatically group it into something that it isn't at all because you don't know what it's about.

What happened to being maybe a bit considerate and maybe just maybe this person is having some PERSONAL issue's that have made them make a bold statement of IDGAF.  Just because you see this statement on a blog doesn't mean that everything has to be SIM related or should I say, 'Sim community' related.

I started this blog just so I could vent, talk, rave or laugh at things I just felt may not be appropriate to post on Cstyles. I NEEDED this blog because something did happen to me Sim related that I just felt I couldn't fully express on Cstyles.  I did this also to protect others who were not involved in what had upset me and they were still friends with the people who had upset me. I didn't want anyone to feel as if they had to choose sides.
But I also needed/wanted this blog to just be able to release, and to be able to meet people on more neutral ground than them viewing me as 'The Administrator' and just see me as Cece.

Not everybody is going to get along and at times you come across someone who is friends with your enemies...but that doesn't mean you have to make your friend...enemies of your enemy does it?  Of course not!

Let's not be quick to judge someone because you see something that you clearly have NO clue what it means to the person who wrote it.
Let's respect that it's obvious this person is going through some things and basically needed a place to scream.

All caps is considered 'screaming' in writing...caps with bold text...I considered to be seriously screaming, perhaps yelling at the top of their lungs but have no other way to do this other than writing it down.

I'm not going to type out in bold letters something like IT SUCKS and not have a reason behind it.  But  maybe I don't want to discuss this reason right now, if ever...I just needed some place to SCREAM to help me release what is bothering me.

As you can tell, this blog is brand new, not much written yet but hopefully plans to update it on a frequent basis.  I attached it to Cstyles for ease in being to just 'reach' right over and update without the hassle of searching here and there for this or that blog or forum.

What about the title of this blog...?  Does 'Same shit, New Day' pertain strictly to my Sim life or could it be possible that it might pertain to my personal life...or better yet...maybe both sectors of my life?

Don't assume that you can 'read between my lines' of my writing because more than likely you will be so far off track that you will have to wait for the next train.

Think about people's thoughts and feelings before you express how you think or feel about them. How do you feel when someone speaks a false or assumes something totally off base with you.  Don't you wish you could almost literally call everyone to attention and explain 'the truth'.
Or maybe you are so thick skinned that obvious taunts and jabs and non truths regarding you have absolutely no affect on you...but does this mean that everyone else is made up this exact way also? Does it mean you are wrong just because you can handle something totally different than other people do?  Of course not!

Just don't hold it against others who skin is not as thick as yours and they like it that way.  Maybe they like having the ability to 'feel' pain and have emotions.  Perhaps they also like that being so 'non thick skinned' helps them relate to other peoples sensitivity and also not make them quick to NOT think of others before they speak out on a subject.

Just like my blog title...same shit, new day...go figure....

Sometimes one of these...
                          ...is just not enough!

Copycatting is just haters with no mind of their own!

   It kills me that some people just don't know when to quit trying to imitate and copycat!!  Use your own mind and your own creativity! I'm so tired of seeing others trying to steal others creativity and claim it as their own. Get real...get your OWN and stop trying to make yourself somebody else because YOU WILL NEVER BE THEM!!!

DEAL WITH IT!

It's Monday...not so bad a thing this time around...I think...

Oh well...another weekend flew by....but at least this one was not a totally 'fly by' or waste!  I got to spend some time with my little 4 year old God daughter and we had  a blast! It feels so good sometimes to be able to drop down to their little level and just act a fool! Not too much of a fool...remember...they are very very impressionable at that age, but enough to make them giggle is all you need.

I am still amazed at how 'grown' these little boogers are!  We were at the dining table and just talking about different things and I asked her how her grandmother was doing and asked her if she got to see her much.  Not her maternal grandmother, her paternal grandmother and this little thing looks up from her dinner plate, rolled her little eyes and said in a somewhat exasperated tone..."I really don't want to talk about it."  What?!?  Are you kidding me, I just had a child, transform into an adult mind and speak to me like we were on an adult to adult conversation level!! Lol!!

So being observant and not wanting to step on her little toes, after laughing hysterically from her remark...I respected her wishes and dropped the subject...although I couldn't help but still giggle from time to time whenever I thought about it.

Yep...it's been a pretty good weekend this time around, now...let's just pray that the week brings just as much promise!!

Be sure to check out Cstyles Exclusive August creations...totally awesome and more than worth the download!! Trust me...my cc folder is screaming at me since we've acquired so many talented, I mean truly talented creators to our forum. I'm loving every minute of it!!!!

Finally got Ian uploaded!!

Finally!! I got a new Sim off and uploaded!  I feel like this week so far has speed by...maybe my fault since I fussed so much about the weekend flying by.  Note to self....be more careful what I say out loud or write down...seems to be some haters in the day's of the weeks!! Lol!!

Of course Ian can only be downloaded @ Cstyles!  I'm so happyz!! Who knows...I might get another one out this weekend...don't know yet...I am babysitting tonight and it depends on how pooped I am.  I have a big night planned for my little God Daughter and I.  GIRLS NIGHT!! Mani/pedi, making cookies, eating cookies (yummy) with a little icecream and MOVIES!! I'm looking forward to it!

It's Monday again...already?!

So it's Monday already AGAIN...?!  Where did the weekend go?  I feel as if I've been ambushed...robbed...those two precious day's called...'weekend'...have cruelly been stolen from me!  Okay...maybe I exaggerate a tad...but I swear it does seem as if it still should be let's say...Saturday morning!

Yep...Saturday morning...no worries...no work....no endless phone calls from solicitors trying to sell me some junk I don't need nor want, no scams telling me that I've won tons of money from some dead distant relative I've never met who resided in Africa!  Nope...Good ol' Saturday.

I'm too old for Saturday morning cartoons...nah...outgrew that years ago, and I really don't have to rush up out of bed to do laundry or housework because I live alone and...'who cares'!?  Who cares if I need to run the vacuum cleaner and dust the furniture? Who cares if the kitchen floor could use a good old on my knee's kind of scrub or my oven needs cleaning?  Who cares if I truly need to clean all the mirrors in each bathroom?

No one...or at least they shouldn't...if they aren't paying my rent then you have NO right to care! I don't care and I pay the rent!  I'm NOT living in filth mind you...could never tolerate that...no...wasn't raised that way.  But I've learned that it isn't a necessity to race up bright and early...do ton's of housework...only at the end of the day sit back, and although happy that I accomplished something...feeling a little irritated because was it really needed to do this massive amount of housework for myself?

Nope..I've learned to slow down and take it one day at a time...but back to the problem...who stole my weekend from me so I could decide NOT to do all that insane and inane housework?

Should I file charges?  Call the FBI or CIA...who stole those two glorious days from me and left not a hint behind?

Or should I just let it go and wait until the next weekend and pray the weekend thieves won't steal it away from me...

Hot enough for ya?!

Is it hot enough for everyone?!  I'm sooo glad to be back indoors...in my nice air conditioned apartment and not sweltering outside like I was earlier.  Good heavens I make one stop...stayed for possibly 2 hours...give or take an hour...and by the time we went back to the car we almost cooked waiting on the air to finally cool us off!  And this is a brand new car mind you...fantastic air conditioning system...yet we slow baked waiting to finally feel the air hit us.  The best thing was opening up my front door and feeling that blast of cool air rush towards me.

Ah...inside...air conditioner...cold glass of tea by my side...potato chips...and stupid stuff playing on the television...life is good!! Lol!

Finally caught up!

Okay...finally feel like I've gotten somewhere as far as catching up!!  Evie is truly a trooper and steps right up to the plate when it's time to do some work on Cstyles!! What would I do without that girl?! And yay for EvaTer being back and getting better! Eva...hun...take care of yourself doll!

So with the forum caught up...for now...until the next update is due I've continued now working on Elite...at least mentally...ideas and such that I want to incorporate into it. I think once it's up and fully functional it is going to be one hot spot for the more mature Simmers!!

Also I'm still working on the arcade section which has proven to be harder than I originally thought!  I want to have some multi-player games embedded on Cstyles so we can all schedule like a party and games night un-sim related...you know...just a night off from the sims for a bit.

On another subject entirely...I was browsing the premium channels on cable this past weekend and I learned something new...I didn't know that we truly had real live Gigolo's and they are working in Vegas and it's legal! I thought that was just something that was invented for television and movies!! Some pretty hawt dudes on this show and it's more of a reality show...but it's all cool and not at all raunchy.  I consider it to be more 'informative' somewhat 'educational' as well as 'entertaining'.... Lol!

Cstyles gets a new facelift!

So with all the happenings on Cstyles in the past several weeks and basically feeling as though Cstyles had actually been violated, I felt it was time for a tiny facelift. For the site...not for me!! Lol!

So browsing I go...I viewed several different templates and colors, applied several in 'test' mode to see if I liked the look and finally decided on this dark purple with a black base background.  I'm so loving the colors!!!  Once I got it up Evie spotted it and jumped right in!! (I so <3 that girl) and started putting her touches to it.  It was great watching the forum transform and get a total rejuvenation!!!  Such a great feeling!

So it took several hours but finally we got to a point where we both could call it a night and hopefully pick up tomorrow where we left off.

The portal (home page) still needs some work but that is a whole different area so to speak; but it is the most important.  It's the first thing you see when you click on the Cstyles link if you are browsing the web and come across us so it has to stand out a bit.

After this is all said and done I plan to do my basic updates, vid, funnies and put up a new 'member' sim on the home page!  I've got a beauty in mind! Kami uploaded this beautiful sexy Sim that I know deserves front page and I can't wait to show her off!

Well...that's it for now...I'm guessing it's finally time to settle down for the night/day and get some rest.  I was going to go in game and do some things but I just don't feel up to it right now even though my game has been running now for hours. (I hope that's not a bad thing...) I'm just too pooped!

Oh I have such ideas for enhancing Cstyles!!!

Who does this kind of thing...I know who...

Now...who joins a forum, befriends the members and staff...whom all welcomed warmly, then leave to start their own forum, (which I had NO problem with and even try to support all Cstyles members blogs and forums)...but they start their new forum off and it looks like a mini version of Cstyles!!!   First it was the same colors as Cstyles and upon further inspection...it clearly had ripped off several areas of Cstyles and incorporated them into their new forum!!!! Has your jaw dropped yet...?  Be patient...it will!


I visited said site because I had been invited to visit and join...so that is what I was going to do...join their forum. Of course I didn't join after seeing what was taking place over there.

I immediately pm'd this couple and told them that I was very shocked to see the extreme likeness to Cstyles and questioned what they were doing. He, (I'll give names and site info later) adamantly claimed there was NO likeness to Cstyles on his forum...which was of course false. He then tried to convince me that it was extremely hard to make a forum that looked different from another forum because we were so limited! Since when did the WWW, the world wide web become limited...? I mentioned this to him and he stated that it was no different from custom content looking like someone else's...which is a false. Show me 2 forums that look like one stole ideas from the other...?

I pointed out several sections they had stolen from Cstyles and just 'in your face' openly displayed on their forum.

...to be cont.

edit:  I'm writing this not to be malicious, but to show people that this type of action is not good, fair nor respected and yes...I'm taking action against them.

I love this!! Support the real...avoid the fakes!

This is so neat! Evie made this her siggy at Cstyles. WE know the reason and I love that she stood up and continues to stand up for Cstyles. I believe though...this should go to all! Support the originals and decline the fakes!

Murdering Mommy Is Free... :(

So many of you have heard of the Casey Anthony trial (tried for killing her baby daughter) and for some insane reason the jury found her NOT guilty!

I try to be neutral in as many areas as possible, but how in the heck do you see her as innocent. Little babies don't duct tape their own mouths!!

Now...as of now...Casey Anthony is a free woman.  She has been released and is free to do whatever she wants.

Did you see how she dressed all through the trial...looking like Grandma Moses?  Yet the very next day, after her verdict was handed down she comes in court all dolled up!  Hair flowing and down actually looking washed for the first time. Face full of makeup and bright lipstick that enhanced that witches smile!!

Did anyone see fangs?!  I guess she can hide them in daylight...too bad she didn't burn when the daylight hit her face.

But all in all...the truly sad part is that beautiful baby girl...now dead (murdered) cold, who will no longer see the daylight.  She will not be going to first grade, graduate from High School, have her first boyfriend, enter college...get married or have little babies of her own. No...that is all gone and nothing more is left than 'what if's and could have been's'...

Rest in Peace baby girl...

Information on Blogs I'm following and other stuffz

Ok...since this is like BRAND NEW of course I don't have all the blogs I'm following listed.  I know there are like a gazillion more to list but for some reason it is only showing 22.
If'd you'd like your blog listed here, or I don't have your blog listed here and you know that I SHOULD have your blog listed here...please don't hesitate to let me know and I will add it.
Also...If you'd like me to discuss something you have done specifically in the Sims community or real life...let me know and I might highlight it here.
I'm not picky nor a prude so I think I'm pretty open minded on several levels and aspects...plus...I am an adult so please don't think you have to talk baby talk to me or pacify me...I'm a big girl...I will only cry for a little bit! :) <---------#seeshouldbeasmiliehere

So post here...or if you pop over to read something and want your blog listed as blogs I follow...I'm pretty nice on that and will do! (didn't I already say this earlier...scroll up...maybe in not so many words...I will leave it anywayz)

#whyaretherenosmiliesonthisoramijustoverlookingthem

I guess that's about it...for now at least...

I want some chocolate icecream...

#mymindtendstowander

Also...last thing...if you are a creator and you think you have made the hottest thing in Sim history and maybe you want to show the world your creations...talk to meh...I might just feel the same way and post it here with a link back to you...or if it really knocks my socks off...I may even post it on Cstyles!

I know you are probably thinking....'what the heck...why has she started a blog'?

...And I will tell you why.  With a forum you are not able to really 'speak' out on some things that may be of a more personal nature.  With Cstyles being a gaming forum, primarily a Sims gaming forum...it can be a tad uncomfortable to myself and I'm sure to others if I feel like I just need to talk about something totally outside the realm of Cstyles.  I probably won't post much...just when the urge hits me, and it probably will be mostly bullsh*t that I talk about not unless we get a new premonition of the end of the world coming soon! Lol!  I don't know...maybe I shouldn't make light of it...it could be true one of these day's.

Any who...so this is the reason for this blog...and who knows...it might not even be here after a month and that's cool also. All in all it might prove to be way too much to try to keep up with Cstyles, Elite and not to mention Cstyles on facebook is seriously behind in updates...oh...almost forgot to add real life. ::howdidialmostforgetreallife::

See...already it's proving to be more than my wittle brain can handle...after all...I never have claimed to have this 'multi-tasking' thing down pat!

I posted this because this has to be the NICEST and most well built apartments I've ever seen in the game!  I want it!! Please...pretty please with sugar on top!! :) Of course...someone could prove me wrong and come out with the Apartment of all apartments and totally blow me away!
