There has been alot of speculation in the rock and heavy metal world I have seen as of lately as to the meaning of the Heartagram, so I am going to give you a little history of it’s oragins and it’s true meaning. The heartagram is heart combined with a penticle or pentagram. then encircled just as a pentagram would be. The creator of the heartagram is Ville Valo of the band HIM and he crated it in 1996 for their first album titled Love/ Metal. The meaning of a heartagram has nothing to do with any faith or religion such as my own, wiccan religion, or any other. It simply means love/hate or good/evil, love and light/ darkness,evil. Sortta like the yin/yang means to other people. which is usually good vs. bad. Ville Valo created this heartagram symbol to mean the same thing and be a symbol for his band so when people saw that symbol , they new it was his band HIM. It has since shown up everywhere from posters to tattoos and even on a popular show on mtv called Viva La bam featuring Bam margera, who also happens to be a very big HIM fan. So the next time you see the heartagram symbol don’t think it is associated with anything other than what it is, just a symbol for love/hate. It describes the bands music perfectly, ballads and love songs and heavy metal!! rock on my friends!!!!

Types of Online Chat Rooms
Chat rooms are indeed one of the best ways of getting in touch with friends. You can also make new friends online using this facility. If you are new to online chat rooms, it is best to learn about different types of chat services available online so that you can get the best of these services. Initially when chat services were introduced only big names like Yahoo, MSN, ICQ, AOL, etc., were offering this service. Though these chat services were free they required you to install special software downloaded from their respective websites. You will be able to make use of these services only from computers in which already the chat software is installed. Not all computers had all the chat software programs installed. You will not be able to get in touch with your friends from any computer you like. This is a great limitation especially when you are travelling. If want to get in touch with people quickly from your friend’s computer it may not be possible unless your friend’s computer had the required software installed.
Then came the next generation chat services that do not require you to install any chat software in your computers. These are web-based chat services like USA Chat Now.

This feature is highly helpful especially when you want to try a chat room before you signup for your free account. You will also be able to test the features of your preferred chat room before you become a member. However it is best to signup for your own account in these chatting websites if you intend to use it regularly so that your friends will be able to recognize you by your chat name.

virus vs. h1n1
Hello bloggers, I know it has been a few days since my last blog but wow have I been sick. I was down for the count for a whole week and the first two days I was in my own bed with a fever aches pains nausea and the works. After a few days of misery I finally went to the doc who sent me to the hospital, lucky me. I have asthma so it was compounded by the illness of which I still didnt know what I had. So I go to the hospital by ambulance from the doc and arrive to secluded room, what the hell? A swarm of doctors and nurses come in and start taking blood running an i.v. running an ekg sent me up for a catscan chest xrays and so on. I by this point am damn mad but to sick to complain. I was there fro 3 whole days before most of the test were back. This whole time im at the hospital I had treatment after treament of steroids, breathing treatments, pain meds thru the i.v. antibiotis and saline drips. I thought i was damn near dead, lol. So anyhow I was told it was not h1n1 but a common ordinary virus that made my asthma take its toll on my body. If it had been the damn swine flu I would be dead!! So I guess the point of this blog is if you have asthma, copd emphazima or any other chronic lung disease and you get even just a sniffle, I strongly suggest you see a doctor right away, dont be stubborn like I was. I am getting better and stronger every day but I just got out of the hospital today so it will take some time. i am glad I was drugged up though because I was in quite a bit of pain and was told I was an ass until the i.v. kicked in, imagine that, me? an ass? Lol. in conclusion hope all you bloggers stay well fit and happy!! Take care ,we only have this one body and it is up to us to take care of it!!!

Smoking Ban!!!
Ok bloggers this blog is a little bit controversial than any that i have done yet. I am not a smoker and I have never been a smoker but that does not make me any less angry about the bans that are popping up all over the counrty on smoking. I dont think it is very fair fo our local stae and federal government to ban anyone from smoking in public areas. Most any place of buisness I have ever been to had designated smoking areas. Sure it is my choice not to smoke but it is also my choice not to go into the smoking areas. It doesnt just hurt the people who enjoy smoking but it hurts the buisnesses that are patroned by smokers. Our rights and freedoms are getting fewer and farer in between, how fair is that fellow tax payers? I understand some reasons are for health I myself have asthma, but I still dont think it should be up to anyone else but the patrons to visit a place that allows smoking. There is a hotspot here in Indiana that is also a concert venue and it was once a place that was standing room only, now not many good shows appear there and there is never a line for anything, i know this is happening everywhere and as a nonsmoking american, I am very sorry that all those buisnesses are failing because our government is bullying you!!! If this is happening where you live i suggest you conact your local state and fed government to voice your oppinion, it counts for something. After all you are tax payers too!!!!! I am sorry if I have offended anyone but i think that everyone should have a say in how even the smallest of things matter to us and our government. Lift the smoking bans and let our country worry about more important matters. The non smokers can handle thier choice of where they wish to visit and patronize as we have for so many years!!!!!!!

Cabin Fever
I suppose it is that time of year for alot of people myself included, who get tired of being indoors. I am gettnig cabin fever so bad that i think im getting depressed. lol. Anyhow, i finally decided to go out and take down the holiday things we had up this year and notice a few bluejays and cardinals flying around. i also noticed the grass was turning green and i thought wow,finally. But then again it is only january so i know better than to get my hopes up like that. So anyhow, as I was finishing up with taking down the lights and putting them away, two squirrels scampered about with a few of my tulip bulbs in their mouth. That explains why they keep growing in places i know i didnt plant. here in the midwest it is warming up to a low fifties this weekend and that is somewhat odd for this time of year but I will take it! i even see buds on the trees so i know i’m not the only one who is confused about this crazy winter. I am just happy to get it over with. I am so anxious to get back out and do my gardening and at the end of the day sit on my swing and bird watch. I often take a book outside with me with the intent to read it but rarely does it get done, i have too many neighbors to watch come and go, lol. So in conclusion of this blog I am glad to know the end of cabin fever is coming to an end for yet another year. Woot woot!!!

Chatroom etiquette
Well it’s another day and one would think that as far as chatroom talk goes it’s always the same thing, but not true. I mean i’m talking about usachatnow people. You never know what you’re going to encounter in here. I imagine like most places you have regs and they contribute to one conversation or another on a daily basis,however in usachatnow we are much more than regs to eachother, we are friends. That might not mean much to some people but to those of us who don’t get out much, it’s everything. i have been here for sometime now and i know who to trust and who to overlook but i try to never overlook anyone unless there is good cause. I think most of us who come here everyday treat eachother and new people as well , with a great deal of respect and would never have it any other way, but thats the great thing i like about being a chatroom member in a respectable room!! But i would like to express that without the great mods and admins that we have it would never go as smoothly as it does. We are not over moderated and the ones we have blend in and are as much apart of conversations as any other chatter. Isn’t that awesome? i certainly think so. I would like to add one more thing before i go, when you are in a chatroom for the first time feel free to talk in the mainroom but be polite and respectful and please do not approach people for personal reasons or unmentionable things, thats not what most of Hope to continue seeing more and more new friends and have fun, thats what it’s all about!!

USA Chat… Now… and Back Then.
My first exposure to this site started way back in the summer of 2006. I was in the process of moving to Boston, and I was initially just trying to kill some time for the final few weeks of the summer before school started. It was the first time I had developed any kind of sustained interest in a chat room, particularly because of my pre-conceived perceptions of people who frequented chat rooms. At first I was skeptical, anticipating nothing more than the stereotypical chat room experience with a room full of anti-social delinquents. I started chatting with a handful of people from all walks of life and geographical regions across the globe, and I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of some of the conversational topics that came about. I quickly developed a core group of people I now refer to as my friends who I thoroughly enjoyed spending time with and talking with. We discuss our personal experiences, laugh, joke around, flirt, and exchange some witty banter that I wouldn’t trade anything in the world for. It provides a social atmosphere that has an uncanny similarity to a café or bar, where people are there to hang out and discuss whatever may be on their minds at the time. Of course, life beckons at times and we all have our daily lives to attend to, but luckily I am blessed to still be able to keep in touch with some of the wonderful people I met when I first came here 3 ½ years ago.
