It was a difficult decision to make, but I’m finally pulling the plug on this blog. I’m just not the prolific blogger I’d like to be. I just felt that it was time to “officially” put an end to The For Real Deal (although it was practically over anyways). I’m sad to […]
Like most people, I don’t enjoy receiving junk mail (electronic or otherwise), but lately I’ve become more and more amused at the absurdity of most junk mail subject lines. Lately it seems that junk mailers have taken a turn for the random.
I’ve been collecting junk mail “From” names for the last several weeks, when […]
I’m lazy. I’m busy. I’m… bulazy. The odd combination of doing so much of nothing that I don’t have time to do anything. I believe that I’ve now raised this to an art form. I have had a few projects going on, that are being dragged out too long. […]
I really needed to vent last night. I realize that the majority of people in New Orleans are not doing all those things, but just hearing about the ones that do really makes me mad at society and human nature. I can’t imagine the desperation that those people there are feeling. So, […]
Amid all the death and destruction of Hurricane Katrina, you might think that people would band together and try to help one another out. While that is happening, that’s not all. From a recent Yahoo! news article:
“We have individuals who are getting raped, we have individuals who are getting beaten,” [New Orleans Police […]
People who know me know that I’m not really into politics. Slowly, however, I’m becoming aware that ignorance is no longer an option.
Since the WTC terrorist attacks four years ago, the U.S. Government is taking drastic steps to stop terrorism. That would be really positive, except… they’ve chosen to fight terrorism by eliminating […]
Hmm…… just started a new blog and already I’m lagging. It’s hard sometimes to think of things to say, or at least things worth blogging about, especially when I’m not into politics or current events. It’s weird, because these days blogs are more than just personal diaries or site update logs. Now […]
The more that I read about copyright and where it’s gone copywrong, I weep for the future of entertainment technology. With record and movie companies determined to make criminals out of nearly every user out there, it’s a scary time indeed for somebody who just wants to enjoy music (or any other form of […]
Are you a bit tardy when it comes to returning video rentals? Fret no more.
In response to the success of Netflix and other online rental companies who are seeing big success with their “no late fee” policies, Blockbuster Video has announced that they they too will no longer charge customers late fees on their […]
I have been feeling very depressed for quite a while, and though lately it’s not been so bad, it’s a feeling I can’t quite shake just yet. But having the cutest baby on Earth for a daughter sure helps!
Been slowly picking up the slack of my post-Harding life. I’m actually reading more. […]
well, i’m two days into my new job at fedex. basically, my job is to scan and label packages arriving from other countries in case they need to be inspected. so my job serves as a function of u.s. customs. still have to work with crazy people while wishing i was working […]
it snowed today. that’s kind of a big deal here, because we don’t get much. however, the weather’s not cold enough so it didn’t stick. which was just fine with me, because i have to go to work no matter what the weather is.
