silly spammers

Question Comments Off

Why do I get all these spams wanting me to buy fake rolexes? I don’t even wear a watch. Is there that much of a market for them? Does anybody get a spam that says “Bu y a gen uin im1tation R0lex for 0nl-y $75!” and think to themselves “wow what a deal I need to click this!” ?

It wasn’t the cancers btw. I shall live to see another day

The site should be fixed now. I got hosting by a hosting service since BellSouth DSL is retarded and I didn’t feel like messing with it anymore. And I got tired of listening to people complaining. Tell me if you see something broken, because then I’ll put it on the fasttrack for fixing.

I don’t have a lot to talk about. Work is going great.

I got nothing

Actually there is something I’m excited about, and that’s stock prices:) I got stock options as part of my, uh, whatever you call it…hiring package…and our stock is doing well. They have to vest, which means that after working a year I have access to 1/4th of the options, and then so many more per month for 3 years. So I’ve been watching with great interest, I can see now why stock tickers are so popular. Yesterday if I could have cashed in my options I would have made over $11,000…for clicking some buttons on a website. So anyway, paying rent on an apartment irks me so I’ll probably hold on to them until they’re worth enough and enough vest so I can get the down payment on a condo or house and use it for that. That’s cool because I don’t really want to save up for that…ha.

I’m going to a company picnic saturday. I feel all old and crap. That’s strange

I think I have cancer. I need to figure out all this insurance stuff (I have health insurance but don’t really know how to use it) and go see a doctor before I die. I don’t want to think about it…and then what do I get in my mailbox but a mass email about a guy I knew in school, my age, who just died from skin cancer. Ugh.

So few people can read my website that I hardly bother to update it. I’m doing well, my apartment is a mess, I have a lot of responsibility at work and I’m hard at work on that. Except for right now cause I needed a break.

I got a Beretta 92FS, it’s beautiful and amazing and tears through ammo so quickly it’s like striking matches under $20 bills.

Also I finally got rid of the Saturn! Hoorah! I didn’t have enough credit to buy the car I wanted, so I bought a 2004 Celica to keep for a year or two, make big payments on, and then trade in. It’s pretty nice, was a dealer demo car that only had 8600 miles, is basically brand new. My parents helped me by cosigning so that was cool. It looks a lot like this.

saturday I went to eric (anderson)’s wedding. The program said jon and ryan cain were both best man. however ryan was not at the front. apparently that morning he and jon wrecked a golf cart and ryan hit his head and had to go to the hospital. he didn’t make it out.

funeral is friday in south carolina. wednesday people from Novell are flying out to meet with us thursday and friday about porting our product to Novell Groupwise. Since that’s my project I really need to be there and it was quite a dilemma but I decided I can’t miss this. I wasn’t best friends with ryan or anything but I have known him for many years and I find that I’m more upset than I’d expect. so anyway of course nobody here gave me a problem about missing the meeting, and perhaps i’ll make some of it. bah

My friend lindsay just left a little while ago, she got a brand new Powerbook and needed a lot of help with moving her music from her ipod and setting the machine up and stuff.

El Amigo friday night after graduation. Graduation + Rellim/Esthero lvl60 party. But mostly graduation.

I spent the night on the floor of my apartment friday night and my parents got there at about 8:15 saturday morning. they brought my waterbed and we set it all up, but didn’t fill it because i have to have renter’s insurance before i get to put water in it. then we went to the apple store to get my sister her new ibook and ipod. also a printer. cause it was all tax free. They also bought me shoes because it was tax free weekend and my mom say you need clothes? and i say well i need shoes. so we wandered around the mall a bit after putting rachel’s computer stuff in my trunk. I almost got these but i went with these instead. They sure are more comfortable than the crappy shoes I’ve been wearing. I tried on steve madden shoes at the steve madden store and they were very uncomfortable. I left there in a hurry. the things people do for fashion.

then we had moz and me and my dad drove to kennesaw to buy me the desk I wanted. The idiots there marked it tax-exempt so hey we took it. We set it up, it’ll fit in my room with my bed, so that’s good. just barely though. my chair’s not in there yet but i’m thinking it will fit. I hope i don’t have to move it to the living room cause it is arduous.

that is all.

listening to the new emery right now…it’s ok

i got my apartment finally…I’m not going to say I’m disappointed…but the old adage “you get what you pay for” always holds true. I don’t mind that it’s small…don’t mind the fact that there’s no overhead light in my room…don’t really mind that all the appliances are old…but i do mind that the bedroom isn’t big enough for my computer (I don’t think). i have a king size waterbed and I finally get to use it after sleeping on dorm beds for 6 years…but i think it’s pretty much gonna fill up my room and not leave room for my big desk. most people just say “so?” but it is a bother to me.

this morning i moved a big load to the apt, then I went to the mall when it opened and went to the apple store. i signed up for the apple credit card and bought a 20 gig ipod and iskin. I don’t have money for it at the moment, but I can’t handle packing and moving without books or music stimulating my brain. so I did the apple credit deal and get 90 days with 0% financing, and I’ll have plenty of money well before my 90 days are up. I am definitely not an advocate of buying on credit without the money to pay for it, and detest the thought of paying interest on anything…but I figured i’d bend the rules a little bit here since there’s no interest involved.

after work i kept myself awake long enough to go to wal-mart and get a light bulb for my big lamp for my bedroom (since it has no light). I kept remembering things i needed and ended up spending like an hour in walmart. most of that time was spent wandering around looking for air fresheners. i finally asked a lady with bad teeth. they were in the grocery section, of all places. apparently all the home sanitation type things are. how odd. i felt really out of place buying home goods. i bought a black shower curtain/liner with black metal hangy things. I thoroughly enjoyed hanging that up. I have no idea why. I also bought a cheap crappy frame to put my big casablanca poster in. i am not sure how to affix it to the wall though.

i have to have renter’s insurance before setting up my waterbed. need to figure that out. i need renter’s insurance anyway cause i have too much expensive stuff to just lose it all.

then i fell asleep for 3 hours on the living room floor. i was really tired.

work is ok, if a bit boring

hrm it’s time to start a new book but i believe i’ve already moved them all. that presents a problem. i’m quite bothered by that actually.
