Quote - You've tried Blender Cookie, Blender Guru, Blender Nerd, BlenderUnderground, BlenderArtists.org? TONS of tutorials and video tutes. There's a metric ton on Vimeo as well on everything under the sun ;). I'd start with Blender Cookie and watch the Basics videos. Blender can be VERY daunting without at least the basics on how to get around. There's soooo much to it.

I have a subscription to Blender Cookie on YouTube, so yes I know what you are talking about. My problem is sorting out the good ones, as many of them are made by people that hardly know the software themselves or by people that skip information because they assume that the viewer can discern what is being done. Also, some of the tutorial videos are too fast paced for me, or they put in a lot of extra stuff that is not needed, "muddying the water" so to speak.

As for your other suggestions I will look in on them and see what they have to offer.

By the way, I have a two year old Toshiba Laptop with 500 gb hard drive and 4 gb RAM. as for my graghics card I have no clue what type it is or what it will handle, but I think it will probably do the job. I really don't know much about such things.

Stay awesome!
