My sister Kate and her husband Jason went to Europe last week for their friend Darren’s wedding (pictured on the right) and brought “stickas” with them.  They are shown here in Oostende, Belgium with the groom.

MY RANT! Opinions Are Like……….

Posted on by capeannpainter

Most know that Saying: “Opinions are Like a……. everyone has one”.

I recently read a comment saying; Joey is “Lofty” and can be a bit rude with his language and I’m deleting my subscription to GMG.

The Title of his blog is GMG ” My life on the Dock”

Have You ever hung around with a Lobsterman, Fishermen,  factory worker or even a tie wearing office worker! The crap that comes out of our mouths ,Comments about our life, wife, families, etc. is disgusting!  Only nice disgusting stuff. But it helps us get through a day of sometimes mindless work to support our families. That person may not know what her Husband talks like at work. Unless he works in a Monestary I’m sure he’s used a few choice words in his life.

This is Joey’s Blog, His VOICE, His feelings, His view of this city, The view of people he thought you may want to hear. The images they see of GLOUCESTER, MASSACHUSETTS! Maybe if they spent some time “Over The Bridge” they could understand.

 Just like TVor Radio you can change the station. Just click on Iliveinafantasyworld.com if you don’t want to hear his or our shit.

I have to stick up for Joey on this one. He is far from stuck up, or Lofty. He gives a great amount of his time promoting Gloucester and the Businesses,  Artists, Organizations and Individuals that make up this wacko Town. He never asks for Kickbacks, Free Meals, Services or whatever.  He pays for his own meals at Restaurants he promotes here.

 BUT, He can be a pain in the Ass. Such as; Calling 30 minutes before the Rockyneck New Years day Swim or the 1st Gloucester triathlon to get some video for the Blog (just a few of my experiences with GMG), Having Sharon risk her life in the toilet of the Schooner Spirit of Massachusetts to bring computer bound People an experience they may never have. Joey asks for nothing in return. There are no ads on the blog to create revenue to help pay for internet access or programs or Hardware to help make the GMG Blog better. It comes out of his own pocket and time.  He can be a great guy. Sometimes. 🙂    A little F ‘n Nuts, sure Can’t we all. Look in the mirror before you judge someone else. I’m sure some of my posts have caused Joey some problems. I know Mary will never read GMG Because of my Valentines card I posted. But get a life, Have a sense of humor. Enjoy His “Little Slice of his life on the Dock” or whatever he calls this F’d up Blog.  Does anybody really read this blog?

I’m sorry to RANT! But in the the words of my Sweet Sicilian Grandfather, You can kiss my Italian ASS if you don’t like it! (It sounds classier in Italian)

OH, By the way Happy St. Patricks Day to all my Irish Friends!

Here’s a Free Plug for you Sharon!

Joey, you can delete this post  anytime if you’d like.

Using The Good Morning Gloucester Search Feature To Find A Subject You May Be Interested In

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Lately I’ve been getting a lot of requests from people asking for pictures or videos that have been posted in the past. I’m happy to find these things for folks but it occured to me that people must not either understand that I categorize everything that gets posted and also attach “tags” which are associated words which a search engine would pick up if you were looking for a particular thing, or they just don’t know that there is a GMG search engine to begin with.

Along the right hand column there is a search engine. It is below the “Get The GMG Podcast” Button and above the “Recent Comments” section.

Click this text to see a video of how it works

I’ll be giving more lessons on how to get more out of this blog and others.

There are many features you can use to navigate and find interesting things including the category links at the bottom of the page, the search engine, the calendar, and the older posts text near the bottom of the page. I think many people only think that the blog exists as one page and they can’t go back in time by clicking the older posts button. Most blogs including this one are rolling through with the newest posts at the top and as new posts are added the previous one gets bumped down one. Then when a certain number of posts are reached it goes to the second page which you can find by clicking the older posts text at the bottom, and so on and so on back through the timeline of the blog.

I hope this helps. Click on the highlighted text so you can visualize if you can’t understand the wording. Sometimes it’s easier to see it rather than follow written directions. Tomorrow I will highlight the older posts text in a video for those who might not get it.

Working on the Desk

Posted on by Sharon

We did some research on the desk that I bought a couple of weeks ago. It is a Governor Winthrop as many of you identified and was probably built in the 1920’s.  Because it is not in its original state, it has lost its value other than as a nice piece of furniture.

So we began sanding the part that had filler, but found that the wood grain in that area is vertical instead of horizontal like the rest of the surface. I’m not sure how to recreate the grain so that the wood will be somewhat uniform for staining.

Any ideas? Thanks!           —–Sharon

Joey guessed “somewhere in Essex” which is correct. So where in Essex is it?

(This video was done with my new camera. Not bad. Except for my shaky hands!)

Here’s the first clue.

Internet 101

Internet 101

Google is your friend

I get “I couldn’t find this story” or “I couldn’t find this picture on your blog” at least ten times a week.

I explain to these people that there is a search box in the right hand column of the blog and if they type in the subject matter in the search box 99% of the time it will bring up the results that the person is looking for.

For some strange reason people say they tried that but it didn’t work so Ill try it and immediately the results show up just as I thought they would.

Then there is Google. You can always try to do a google search for the results. I am fucking astounded at the sheer number of people who in this day and age don’t know how to perform a google search for something they are looking for.

It’s amazing to me it really is but the fact is that there is a huge section of the population who cannot figure out how to direct their browser to google and type in keywords related to the search they would like to perform into that search box to find the results they desire.

http://www.google.com

I want our readers to find what they are looking for. I want our readers to become better at this thing called the internet. I realize that most of you already understand how to perform a simple web search but I wonder how many of you know how many folks still to this day just don’t get it.

Again, there is a search box in the right hand column of GMG. If you are looking for a video of my sister Felicia’s
Mudiga Steak video for example-

First locate the search box in the right hand column of GMG

Second, type in Felicia Mudiga Steak in the search box

Third click enter

Viola! Results! It’s not magic I swear!

Movie – “The Imaginarium Of Doctor Parnassus”

Posted on by Rob Newton

“Shot through with a bold, extravagant generosity of spirit, this journey behind the literal and figurative looking glass marks a gratifying return to form for Gilliam, whose recent films haven’t quite lived up to his capacities.” -Ann Hornaday, Washington Post

“Longtime fans who wondered if Gilliam had simply run out of steam should have a grand time.” -Daniel M. Kimmel, NorthShoreMovies.net

In modern London, a centuries old carriage stops randomly to present sixteenth century style entertainment. The very old man (Christopher Plummer) who runs the show is carrying a great weight – a deal he with Mr. Nick (Tom Waits) for youth in immortality is about to come due on the sixteenth birthday of his only daughter, Valentina (sweetheart faced Lily Cole). His herald, Anton (Andrew Garfield), who has loved her from afar, must try to seduce five souls before his boss’s newest player Tony (Heath Ledger), in order to win her within “The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus.” Completed after Ledger’s untimely death, the film, by ex-Python Terry Gilliam, features Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell, the film is a tribute both to the late actor and the film’s visionary creator, the director of such cult favorites as “Brazil” and “The Fisher King.”

GOT PHOTOS?

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

From City Councilor Exraodinnaire And Most Excellent Person- The Wonderful, Thoughtful,Hard Working,City Loving, Jackie Hardy!

Hi Joey,
Hope family is well.
As you may have seen in today’s GDT the City is in the process of putting their new website together and we are looking for some nice photos of the City that can be incorporated into the web design…. It may be asking a lot, I do not know, but we are looking for photographers to donate their electronic photos (as large as possible) to the City for no cost with the understanding that they will not be attributable on the photo itself…. there has been a brief discussion that we may have a section of the web page that does say thank you for many different contributions to the city (site) and the attributes for the photos could possibly be there… but nothing firmed up on that (yet)…. I have seen dozens and dozens and dozens of absolutely FANTASTIC photos taken by many people and bloggers in the city… and I am wondering if you could reach out to others to see if they would be willing to donate their electronic photos of the city… we are looking for different types of photos… iconic, action orientated, places, buildings, special settings AND OF COURSE OUR HARBOR… variouis photos that show Glou. in summer, spring and fall (for some reason it was believed that winter … snow…. scenes wouldn’t fit… I don’t agree, so send what you will!!!) We hope to get so many submissions that it will be difficult for us to pick and choose those that will become part of our new web design!!! (photos that will DRAWWWWW viewers to our beautiful City) Here is the email address to send them to photos … of course we would like to have a note from those who do submit stating something like the following… ( I’m no lawyer, so this is my best stab….. check with Mike Wells in our IT department mwells , maybe he has something legal-eagle”ish” to use!)
here is my stab at it:
I ________________ am the owner of the attached photograph and I have the exclusive right to allow the City of Gloucester the right to use the photographs on the City of Gloucester website. I understand that I will not be paid by the City for the use of this photograph, and that I will not be acknowledged/attributed as the photographer for use by the City for same.

Joey and others….Thanks for whatever you can do to help get the word out to all the fantastic photographers – much appreciated, Jackie Hardy

remember to submit photo(s) ASAP as large as possible electronically to photos with the statement above.

our IT dept. wasn’t sure we’d get many folks who would donate… so lets show them differently and swamp the City with photos!!! Best to all with many thanks, Jackie Hardy
