Celebrity WTF's

I have a few things to get off my chest today regarding some celebrities. Bear with me - I obviously read far too many gossip sites during my daily blog crawls. I know it, and frankly, I'm okay with it. If that is one of my worst habits, I'll take it!

So, in no particular order:

W-T-F is up with Madonna's face?!



She has clearly had too much work done, and is fighting the aging process with a ferocity that I would expect from someone as strong-willed as Her Madgesty is rumored to be. So, I get the oddly line-free face, I get the eye job and brow lift and laser peels.

But, the cheekbones are new, right?






Am I wrong, or is she starting to look a leetle beet like:



Jocelyn Wildenstein, AKA The Cat Lady?





Right?! Aaaaaanyway.

W-T-F is up with Lindsay Lohan these days?!




Now, let it be known that I was pulling for this girl. I loved her in Mean Girls, and she was such a cute kid. What happened with her life as she grew up in the Hollywood spotlight is such an old story that it's almost a cliche, right? Child star with too much money, too much freedom, and God-awful parents develops a nasty drug & alcohol problem that ruins her credibility with movie-makers and fans. She starts losing jobs and spending too much money, does the obligatory sex tape, then amps it up a notch and gets lesbian cred with a fellow addict and fame-whore....

It's timeless, really. It's also freaking sad as hell, and it all comes down to parenting as far as I'm concerned, because you don't see Dakota Fanning and her kid sister out there stumbling out of clubs at 4 AM, now do ya?

Now, I hear Lindsay's thisclose to releasing a porno. Dude. W-T-F?

That's it for now 'cause I gotta run. Happy Saturday!

You can call me Al.

"What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet."

Romeo and Juliet (II, ii, 1-2)


I've never liked my name much. I've made my peace with it, but I just still have no idea where my parents came up with Beverly as a name for me. I mean, Beverly is kind of an old-lady name. It's not Agnes or Mildred or anything, but it's up there. I have one of those baby name books left over from when I was trying to think of wtf to name my children, and it is supposed to tell you what other people think of your name. Like we care, right? But anyway, the general consensus of that book was that, for many people, my name conjures images of overweight waitresses.

NOT THAT THERE'S ANYTHING WRONG WITH THAT. Ha.

My sister has vivid memories of being six years old and voicing her objection to my parents' choice of names for me, before I was born. If only they'd listened to her! I will say that as a kid, my classmates were hard-pressed to come up with a terrible nickname for me, apart from Beverly Hillbilly (clever) and, once puberty hit, Beverly's Hills. What can I say? I've got jugs. (shrug)

I am a huuuuge fan of nicknames. Once I like someone, one of the first things I do is to come up with something goofy to call them. Hey, we all have our quirks, and that is one of mine... and that's just scratchin' the surface. Sometime in the mid-90's I dubbed myself bevtastic and it has been my email moniker ever since. I also answer to Bev (duh), Bevy, Bevster, The Bev, Bevelaqua, and... wait for it... Beaver. Yeah. Whatever. My name actually means "From the Beaver meadow," so the fact that it's also a euphemism for the nether regions doesn't bother me too much. Besides, I'm kind of a dirty minded little freak, so it's all good in the hood. ;)

Recently I took one of those FB quizzes which asked: if you could change your name, what would you change it to? I was stumped. I had no answer at all! For all that I don't care for my name, I don't know what I'd change it to if I was so inclined.





So, I guess I'm gonna stick with being the Beav.





What about you? Do you like your name? If you could change it, what would you change it to?

Blackberry history

Blackberry history and messenger


Blackberry history / The BlackBerry is a wireless handheld device introduced in 1999 as a two-way pager. In 2002, the more commonly known smartphone BlackBerry was released, which supports push e-mail, mobile telephone, text messaging, internet faxing, web browsing and other wireless information services as well as a multi-touch interface.

BlackBerry Messenger

Newer BlackBerry devices use the proprietary Blackberry Messenger software for sending and receiving text messages via Blackberry PIN.

Third-party software available for use on BlackBerry devices includes full-featured database management systems which can be used to support customer relationship management clients and other applications that must manage large volumes of potentially complex data.[8]



BlackBerry Messenger (abbreviated BBM) is a proprietary Instant Messenger application included on newer model BlackBerry devices. It was developed by Research in Motion. Messages sent via Blackberry Messenger are sent over the Blackberry PIN system; thus, communication is only possible between two Blackberry devices. Exchanging messages is also possible through obtaining discussion or chat rooms, which multiple blackberry devices are accessible to communicate. In addition to offering text-based Instant Messages, Blackberry Messenger allows users to send pictures and other files over the Blackberry network.


Instant messaging (IM) is a form of real-time communication between two or more people based on typed text. The text is conveyed via devices connected over a network such as the Internet.


Overview

Instant messaging (IM) are technologies that create the possibility of real-time text-based communication between two or more participants over the internet or some form of internal network/intranet. It is important to understand that what separates chat and instant messaging from technologies such as e-mail is the perceived synchronicity of the communication by the user - Chat happens in real-time. Some systems allow the sending of messages to people not currently logged on (offline messages), thus removing much of the difference between Instant Messaging and e-mail.

IM allows effective and efficient communication, featuring immediate receipt of acknowledgment or reply. In certain cases Instant Messaging involves additional features, which make it even more popular, i.e. to see the other party, e.g. by using web-cams, or to talk directly for free over the Internet.

It is possible to save a conversation for later reference. Instant messages are typically logged in a local message history which closes the gap to the persistent nature of e-mails and facilitates quick exchange of information like URLs or document snippets (which can be unwieldy when communicated via telephone).
