I think I'm getting social anxiety. It's getting to the point that I don't want to be around people.

I've noticed this over the past few days but I just got a minute to say something about it.
It's not even Thanksgiving and all of the Giftmas shit is out in full force!
What the hell happened to Thanksgiving? It's my favorite holiday during the year and now the consumerist whores want to delete it to make more room for Giftmas.
I am already disgruntled with the christians and now I'm totally disgusted with the whole lot of them.

| Good deed Friday |
[Nov. 13th, 2009|03:57 pm] |
(This is from last Friday, but I didn't have any time to post it until now.)
Friday night I was on the train headed westbound. I looked across the way and in an empty seat across from me was a billfold. I was debating with someone on the phone on what I should do with it. A guy sitting in the seat behind it suggested that I give it to a TriMet person. The next few stops we rode through I didn't see any TriMet people. I would of handed it off to the MAX driver, but I was in the second car.
I pick it up and look through it for a second. I stop when I got to the kid's ID (yep, he was a kid, just barely 18). I didn't see anything with a phone number on it and I hoped that the address on his ID was current. I didn't get a chance to return the wallet to the kid on Saturday because I didn't want to miss the last bus headed out so I wouldn't have to walk forever to get home.
On Sunday I had some time to kill and I decided that I'd try to return the billfold to its rightful owner. A quick bit of Googling and I saw his house but Google couldn't tell me if a phone number was associated with the house. Nobody has land lines nowadays. After a bit of trekking, I finally found his house.
I knocked on the door and this nice lady answered and I asked her if the kid lived here. She said he did and I asked her if I could see him. She said sure and called him out over to the door. Before he shows up, a man standing behind the woman (not sure if it was husband/boyfriend/etc) asked me what I wanted with the kid. I said that I had his billfold and I'd like to return it to him personally so I know that he got it back safe and sound. The guy's attitude changed after that and a few minutes later, here comes the kid.
I asked him if he lost his billfold Friday night on the MAX on car 201A in the balcony. He kinna shrugs and said that he did. I told him that's where I found it and I picked it up because I wanted to return it. I've lost my ID once and I'll never go through the process of getting it back ever again! The man asked me if everything was in there and I said that I didn't know. I stopped looking when I found his ID behind his bus pass.
The kid was exstatic about getting his billfold back! While all of this is going on, the nice lady slipped out and slipped back in the door again. She handed me something and before I realized what it was, I tried to give it back to her. I told them that I didn't do this looking for a reward (and I wasn't). I needed to put a little bit of good out in the world because apparently I had sent some bad out and it came back to me in threes. She wouldn't hear of it and as soon as I tried to return it, she shoved her hands in her pockets and pretty much made me take the reward.
I'm not about to turn down free monies!
Anyways, I was just happy that the kid had gotten his billfold back in tact with everything in it. |

This is the wallpaper on my Netbook (e-penis ... it's BLUE!)
This is a picture of the St. Johns bridge at night. I laid down in the middle of the road and centered my phone (as best as I could) between the two yellow lines and took a picture. I like to call it "Bridge to the Future" because you really don't know what's at the other end of the bridge. It could be a dropoff into a black cauldron, or it could be the first day of the rest of your life, or it could be the bridge to your dreams. Who knows? |

So today I'm sitting in the library charging up and reading the Internets. Next to me is this geeky looking twerp with all of his shit spread out all over the table. I glance over on his screen and it appears that he's drawing some sort of furry art. All I could tell is that it was a red animal of sorts with yellow eyes.
Anyways, I'm sitting here reading through emails and this kid belches about every minutute to two minutes. After about 20 mimnutes of this I'm getting fed up of hearing this kid belch. After an obnoxious belch I look at him and say, "Dude, do you mind?" He looks at me like I'm holding a 12 guage shotgun to his face. I finish my sentence, "dude, you've been belching for the past little while and it's gross and I wished you'd at least cover your mouth." He got all emoface and butthurt and snaps at me, "I'm getting the librarian." I didn't think any more of it and kept reading emails.
A few minutes later I get a rent-a-cop come over and ask me what's going on. I tell him that I'm sitting here quetly minding my own business and this kid is belching like a brewery and I asked him to show a little respect by at least covering his mouth. The RAC tells me that I seemed "grouchy" (I can't remember the word he used) towards the kid and I said is that all I asked him to do was show a little respect and have some manners.
I packed up my shit and went to another table. When I passed the kid standing over by a bookshelf, I looked at him and said, "Fucking crybaby." |

I know I haven't posted in while because I've been watching Lost. I charge up, do errands, and get back to watching Lost. I'm on the last episode of Season 3 and I'll be starting Season 4 tonight.
Weather's been real nice lately and I've been enjoying my time at home. I've slipped into a relaxed schedule and it's nice not having to rush around and do everything all at once. I've got an active list of things I need to do and I'll get to them when I get to them. Some of the things have more priority like laundry, because I'm running out of clean socks.
Went out to Tora and CK's last week and CK showed me this game called Fuel. It's a post-apocolyptic racing game and it looks like fun!
Had a GREAT turnout at the Roxy meet Sunday night! Saw a lot of folks from Eugene and I was totally surprised. I had to commandeer another table so we called it "The Big Kids Table."
Another cool thing that happened is that I'm on Staff at CampfireTails! A better place has been located for next year and from what I hear, it sounds really nice! This year we had 40+ people and next year we're looking to double that number. It's an outdoor con kinda like Camp Feral but it's set in Oregon instead of Canada. I really enjoyed myself the last time I went and I recommend that everyone should go too!
So yeah ... Life is good! |

[Sep. 1st, 2009|05:17 pm] |
Last week I was heading out to the Stadium Freddy's, and I passed this guy sitting on the ground. WHen I walked past, he looked up at me and said, "Hey whitey, wanna support a good cause?" Calling me whitey is one way to definately piss me off because I take it as an insult. I said to him, "Is that supposed to be funny?" He didn't have anything to say to that. I looked nat him and said, "On second thought, yes. I will support your cause. However, I get to slam your dick with my Mag Lite. Pull it out and I'll slam it and I'll give you $20." I got the deer in the headlights look in return and I walked off.
The second guy called my bluff. I was waiting on the 9 at Broadway and Irving and this guy came up to me and asked me if I had change for a $5. I said that I didn't. A few seconds later it hit me that I had $4 for lunch and a wad of quarters. I started digging through my backpack and the guy asked me if I was sure I didn't have change for a $5. II told him not to be so pushy and give me a minute. I told him he was in luck and I gave him 4 $1 bills and 4 quarters.
After that, he told me he was a missionary and had just gotten back from Europe. He rambled on for a few minutes longer but I really wasn't interested in what he was saying because I disagree with half of what they're trying to do. It's nice that they're going to these places and setting these people up with housing, clean water, etc, but the part I'm against is how they infect the people they're helping with the Christian religion. I didn't tell him that because I really wasn't interested in getting into an in-depth conversation with him. I wanted to get on the bus and go get some lunch.
A few minutes later he got to telling me about how he met Jesus and how he had this vision and etc etc etc... I asked him if he for real met Jesus and he said he did. I asked him if he had ever planned on seeing Jesus again and he said that he was. I told him that the next time he sees Jesus to tell him I want my $2 back. He said something about give and take, and I stopped him and said, "Yeah, Jesus took $2 from me and I want him to give it back!" Shortly thereafter, the bus pulled up and I piled on. The guy got on after me and called my bluff. He tried to hand me $2 and I told him to keep it and that I wanted Jesus to give it back to me himself.
I should of taken it that way I could of had my lunch money for the next day. |

[Jul. 31st, 2009|06:47 pm] |
OK, so for the past few days, I've been passing Bike Gallery on my way into Portland on the #15 bus. I've been seeing signs in the windows saying something along the kines of "HUGE BIKE SALE". So today I stopped by and took a look around. They've got a sale on Trek bikes. Since I'm wanting to get one again, I wanted to talk to someone about them. I stood around for a good 15 minutes looking at bikes and waiting to be approached by a salesperson. No dice. So I walk around and start looking at the rain gear and spandex they have on display (spome if it is really cute!). Still no one comes to assist me even though I've seen a couple people who work there doing nothing.
The thing that REALLY pissed me off? A chick walks in and they all immediately greet and speak to her!
I feel so discriminated against because I don't have tits. I was still waiting for a salesflunkie to come and help me and I was going to let them have it about how I felt discriminated against because I didn't have tits and a twat. I guess they all saw the fuming exclamation point above my head and decided to leave me alone. A few minutes later I left.
I'm thinking about going by there in a few days and trying the whole scenario again. I did see some stuff that I want to take down SKU numbers and info on and see if I can find it cheaper on the Internets. And I still want to look at bikes.
If I don't get any help this time, I'm gonna pull the farmer trick who wanted to buy a Chevrolet truck but no one would assist him because he was dressed in his raggedy farm clothes. After about 20 minutes of sitting in the dealership, he stands up and yells, "I'll go buy me a goddamned FORD!" Someone comes over to help him and he points at the truck he's already picked out and says, "I want that one right there." The salesman asks him how he plans to pay for it, and this old farmer pulls money out of every pocket and says, "I'll pay cash."
I think next time I'll yell, "I'll go over to Performance Bike, AT LEAST THEY SPOKE TO ME WHEN I WALKED IN THE DOOR!" |

| Grinding gears |
[Jul. 9th, 2009|07:47 pm] |
Ya know what grinds my gears? Today and yesterday I did a little browsing at the enclosed retail compound. It's time to trade in my kicks and get a new pair. As usual, I didn't see any shoes I liked because everything is geared for 16 year olds. I guess us older people don't wear shoes anymore.
Anyways, I stopped at Meyer and Frank (Macy's to the rest of y'all) and browsed the Adidas stuff for a few minutes. I found a pair of black Adidas shorts that are looong like I like and will look good with my Triple Threat jersey I got awhile back. One pair. Nothing else. The other shorts they had are the sag-variety. Ya know where ya have to sag 'em to make 'em come a little bit below your knees. I'm too old for that shit and I don't like doing it.
What really ground my gears is I looked at some Nike shorts and they were about the exact length that I wanted. I didn't get them because I grew up wearing Nike and I got sick of it. I've moved onto Adidas now.
How come Adidas won't make looong basketball shorts like Nike does? Nike is apparently making a killing doing so and you'd figure that the Adidas people would take notice and start making loooong basketball shorts too.
If anyone sees some kool looking Adidas shorts with a 12" inseam (I think?) PLEASE let me know!

I'm out in the middle of nowhere with my netbook (e-penis --- it's BLUE!) and my Blackberry 8900 and I'm randomly checking teh eljay and email.
This is the exact reason why I have the mobile equipment I have. I don't like being tethered to a desk to use a computer. Now I can go *anywhere* where I can get cell coverage and have teh internets.
After all, the Internets is serious business
I'd also like to thank ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) dennisthetiger for making the connectivity possible!
My USB keyboard light will be in in a few days so I won't have to use my Mag-Lite to see the keyboard with anymore. Now all I need to find is a polarized glare screen for it and I'll be set. |

If I had one wish, here's what I'd want.
I would love to be able to suntan without getting sunburnt.
If I had 3 wishes,
1. Be able to suntan without getting sunburnt.
2. Have a skinnish semi-muscular body with no body hair and and to be able to eat without gaining weight.
3. Have the eyesight of an eagle.
Now, where's that infamous crossroads where I can strike up a deal with Legbur?
the first one will never happen. The second one might happen with a lot of plastic surgery, and the third one? Not a snowball's chance in hell. |

| I scammed TMobily today and it felt gooood! |
[Jun. 30th, 2009|05:40 pm] |
| [ | Mood: |
| |  bouncy | ] |
So check this out. Last week sometime I saw a post in ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) damnportlanders about TMobile and contracts and whatnot and it got me to thinking, "Hey, my contract is coming up for renewal soon, lemme see what I can get out of it."
So today I called TMobily and asked the (foreign sounding) lady who answered when does my contract expired. She wanted to know why I was looking for such information and I told her that another provider has come to me and offering me a great deal on service and a new Blackberry for an amazingly low price of $150. The foreign sounding lady said that they could meet and beat that deal and that she was going to transfer me to someone else to discuss it. The 8320 is about a $300 phone new and that was what I was interested in getting, at first.
She transferred me to the customer retention department where I spole with Teresa. She mostly repeated what I told the first lady and said that she could get me a Blackberry 8320 for $75. She also told me that I had been "grandfathered in" for the Blackberry Data plan. Everyone else pays $29.95 a month for it and I only have to pay $19.95 a month. Sweet! We got to chit-chatting and she was trying to offer me various other plans including the 5 Favs that TMobily has and I said that I have more than five friends (but I neglected to mention the part that they were all on TMobily too). I said that I was interested in keeping my current plan (1000 anytime minutes, free nights/weekends, 400 texts, and TMobile to TMobile calls are free). The last part of my plan, the TMobile to TMobile thing normally costs $5.95 a month, but for the next year, I'm getting that part FREE!
After some more chit-chatting and talking about butt-dialing (yes, she said butt dialing XD) she mentioned that she had a Blackberry 8900. I've looked at one of these and I've checked the specs on it and it's a really good phone (at least I think so anyways). I asked her what kind of deal she could cut me on one of those and she said that she could get me one for $150. This is normally a $500 phone!
I had to go into another two-year contract with them which doesn't bother me one bit. She also told me that I'd also been a really good customer (I always pay my cell bill on time) and that I could get away with doing stuff like this.
Bottom line? Want a new phone? Call your carrier and ask them how much it would cost to break your contract or ask when your contract expires and they'll send you to customer retention and from there you can work out a good deal and get the latest and greatest phone for one hellova discounted price! This works for TMobile, but I'm not sure how other carriers will react.
Yay! Blackberry 8900 will be in my blue paws in a week!!! |
