My OnLine Empire

Just about every year, I like to present an inventory of my online activities that I like to share and spread of interest to visit. Please give some love and visit often!

Websites:

The Mexican Beauty: Olivia Harrison http://darksweetlady.tripod.com
Dedicated to the widow of George Harrison and mother of Dhani Harrison to show her as her own person other than being known as a “Beatles wife”. This is my very first website I created.

The Beatles’ Children http://beatlechildren.tripod.com
Dedicated to Julian and Sean Lennon, Heather, Mary, Stella, James, and Beatrice McCartney, Dhani Harrison, Zak, Jason, and Lee Starkey. Step children also included.

Dedicated to the friendship between Cynthia Lennon and Maureen Starkey, the two late ex-wives of John Lennon and Ringo Starr. A fun, simple, and small website

Enchanting Isabel Gillies http://enchantingisabelgillies.tripod.com/
Dedicated to the actress and author. Best known as Kathy Stabler from Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and her first book, Happens Every Day, about the breakdown of her first marriage was on the New York Times bestseller list.

Blogs:

Jeannette’s This & That http://jac925.blogspot.com/
Random celebrity pictures posted, entertainment purposes. From history, music, and acting with time-to-time quotes and little opinions here and there.

Culinary blog of my own recipes, celebrity recipes that intrigued me, and pictures of my food. Admittedly not as active as I would like it to be but definitely worthy to look into and try. Hopefully in the near future I will get it back to being active again.

Inspired by my quips on This & That as well as saving my old blog posts from MySpace that I abandoned as majority people also have. This blog is for my writings from opinions, experiences, favorite lists, poems, etc. that I am willing to share to the public online world.

Dedicated to a fictional TV family from Law & Order: Special Victims Unit after getting sick of years of constant “EO” (Elliot and Olivia) love from certain fans who wanted Elliot to divorce his wife and hook up with his partner. As a fan of Kathy, I wanted something to prove that, yes, Elliot did love his wife and to straighten out any errors that the viewer may have.

Dedicated to, well, John and Cynthia! With quotes, pictures, and some personal opinions weaved into their lives and underrated love that constantly gets overshadowed by John's love story with Yoko Ono.

The Beatles Wives and Girls
Dedicated and focused on Cynthia Lennon, Maureen Starkey, Pattie Boyd, Linda McCartney, Yoko Ono, Olivia Harrison, Barbara Bach, Heather Mills, Nancy Shevell, Astrid Kirchherr, Jane Asher, May Pang, Nancy Lee Andrews, and more.

(admittedly abandoned for now due to personal reasons)

My own public twitter account where I post whatever I want to post! Mostly lately been about General Hospital, but still, it's mine.

Yahoo Groups
I usually include them but instead I am not. I rarely go there anymore except for Mary McCartney Photography to move things there to Tumblr before I delete it permanently. I don't like all the upgrades Yahoo has done, making it hard to navigate and post photos- nevermind to delete or move around in an appropriate albums!

Iron Chef Mini Rant

I miss Cat Cora and Mario Batali on Iron Chef Showdown (aka America). I can't stand Alex Guarnaschelli... I believe she skated through competition by hardly doing anything impressive on The Next Iron Chef and got the title by her best buddy Geoffrey Zakarian, who just joined before she did. Amanda Frietag was robbed: she cooked her heart out and deserve that title.

Ocean Dreams

The wind blew against the sea
buried treasure was near the Key
Seagulls flew above the ocean
knowing that their prey was at the location

Sand washed against the shore
like it has done so many times before
Ships carried trades that are in need
with international people to feed

Sun rose from the water
it didn't cause a disturbing bother
Doing it's regular nature by the time
knowing that every other time

Explorers discover something new
an independent kingdom grew
The ocean is filled with wonderful creatures
never spoil the goddess of all kinds of nature

Originally written in 1998

Sunset, Sunrise

It is the end of the day
a giant golden ball settle on the ocean
Disappearing from the view
yellow, red, and orange blend in
Sun rays touch the soil of the Earth
clouds cover their white dust to light grey
with pink, purple, and turquoise
Setting into the new world to shine below
leaving the outer space to take over
the magic of the cycle
It's the beginning of the night
Stars appear brighter and brighter
the moon glows with shades of what and gray
Everything is now quiet
not a sound other than mother nature
Crickets begin their nightly chirp
a cool feel reach to the haze of the fog
Flowers open their petals to release their fresh scent
Morning comes with sunrays hitting the sky
Colors of pink, yellow, and blue
Birds sing and catch their prey
the action is starting to happen
It's the beginning of a new day

Escape

Escape
but where?
Anywhere is possible
to find the answers that need to be solved

Escape
away from the hard hand
the hand that rules with an abusive fist
Run too fast, causing a rapid heart beat
carry the tradition to freedom

Escape
to find the way to explore different situation
reach high up to the northern star
Find a route to find the way home
hide when it is possible to...

Escape
to the freedom
the right

Escape
to the freedom
that is to be served
Find the way to express the right
keep the faith that has the right to take over

Fight for the freedom
Fight to escape

Originally written in 2000

Good Bye

Now it's time to say goodbye
as time goes by
The days went fast or slow
I write when I'm high or low
I create dreams, stories, and poems in my head
'till the day I'm alive to dead
You will stay or be gone
but you will never be done
See you wherever I'm there
so you could go anywhere
So, goodbye now

Written in 1998

Queen of Hearts, The People's Princess, and Mother

I was 15 years old (almost 16), living in an apartment with my mom. It was late in the evening, I could hear and see the TV from my bedroom and overheard something about Princess Diana being in a car crash. She was in critical condition... It wasn't very long until the news came in that she died. That prompted me to go from my room to the living room to watch. Mom was a little freaked out strange to see her shared birth year as Princess Diana plus the death year (1961-1997) while I realized that I was the same age as Prince William. Instantly, my thoughts, prayers, just about everything went to her two boys that now had to go on without their mother by their side. The following morning, the local paper had the biggest and darkest font I've never seen before: DIANA DEAD. I still have that newspaper. 

The day of her funeral, I got up early to watch. When I saw that unforgettable small bouquet in front with the card that said Mummy, I cried. I did shed tears before during that week, but that moment I bawled my eyes out. I always thought she was beautiful, worthy to have a happily ever after; I remember Diana being in just about every imaginable media out there, before and after her divorce. 
While Prince Charles was not husband of the year to Diana, I do genuinely believe that her death devastated him. All of the sudden, he became a single parent. I do think he did a splendid job with William and Harry, from the way they are today- they're very close as royals could be. Diana will never be forgotten!
