Why can’t you just say “blogs” when referring to blogs?

September 3rd, 2008

I dont like the word “blogosphere”. I forget why. Oh ya. cuz its lame and unnecessary. It turns a single sylable perfectly encompassing descriptive word into a 3 sylable attempt to paint a bigger, broader image of lameness.

Reading something on the “blogs” is no different than reading something on the “blogosphere”. You just sound more lame if you use the latter.

quit it.

Sometimes crazy bitches call me at 2AM

August 4th, 2008

I was using a number that used to be mine but currently isn’t while talking to a friend so I clicked over a beep only to hear a voice ask the always retarded question “do you know who this is?”. So of course they were hung up on. Since I had nothing to lose I called the number back when I was done with my call and asked what they wanted. When they played the “do you know who this is? who is THIS? is this Richard?” game they got dumped again, but called back. Enraged.

This psycho started screaming, much to my amusement, that “you fukkin lied Richard! you fukkin LIED TA ME!” for a good 30 seconds. It was. AWESOME. I had to hang up on her before too long just to let them know that such inappropriate outbursts can’t be rewarded, but it was fun while it lasted.

The list of who it could be is blank since I haven’t lied to anyone since middle school, so who knows. This freak sure thinks I did though. Wonder how the rest of her night went…

UPDATE: I looked up the number and its an actual crazy person. Not a moody snotty girl from LA like i’d assumed - an actually clinically unstable girl from the midwest who suffers from mood swings (aka being a bitch for no reason) and frequent depression over the fact that she is frequently used as a human condom by skeezy guys who like fat chicks (yes, she’s actually morbidly obeise) and then throw her away. Sad actually. Don’t know what she thinks she was lied to about, but like her, it doesn’t matter.

I’m so over this

August 1st, 2008

Months ago this girl was driving me back home from the airport and kept saying “I’m over it!” when referencing things in stories she told during the drive. I commented on the phrase and she noted how its her new thing. Through the context and course of the conversation, I was led to believe that this phrase was unique to this person.

Thus you can imagine my dismay, when later I would come to hear it everywhere. Amongst other sothern california girls, on myspace, on tv.

I was misled. and betrayed.

So naturally I killed the bitch.
No one misses her.

If you would like some free used underwire bras please let me know. They are definitely used, but otherwise clean and in good shape. They no longer fit me, but it seems like a waste to throw them away. Maybe you are in need of bras. Maybe you are doing a craft project. Maybe you have a fetish for bras. Whatever. Sizes/colors are as follows (pictures upon request):

Dark Gray patterned satin 34D
Pink satin w/bow 34C
Purple satin Victoria’s secret 34D
White satin 34C(?) - is torn at the sides

5:09pmRichard

thats a good one

you could be like “its for my mom”

or say “no one else knows i wear these, but i just had to ask you to sign!”

Making new friends on Myspace

July 2nd, 2008

Myspace has, for a couple months now had this awesome unique feature (it’s different from Facebook’s because this one is in a yellow box) where you can write a message to someone that will appear along with your friend request when you friend them. I’ve never had the chance to use this great new feature though cuz I never request people on myspace.

BUT… today. I was on one of my friends profile cruzin for lay-dehs, cuz I’m creepy like that, and I saw this one chick and was like “hm, she looks like maybe she’s cute” - so when I realized that she’s the same chick I disturbingly singled out in another photo on this same friends profile months ago - I figured a rare requesting was in order.

Then the yellow box dilemma. Gotta make a good first impression so I come off as sexually desirable, but not aggressive. Appealing, but casual. Show interest, but still be mysterious enough so she has something to pursue. I thought an intimate fact about myself would do the trick, so I started hammering one out. If you go beyond the height of the box, it cuts off the top so you can’t see it, so I took that as a warning to keep it simple.

Needless to say, the coolness displayed is overwhelming. Hopefully not TOO overwhelming for her, since she’s Russian like the friend I know of her from — so really, maybe she only knows limited english and I’ll seem that much more charming. Probably. We’ll see.

Now. we just play tha waiting gammmmme….. yessir….. *nods*……..

It’s a polar bear, because you’re at the North Pole

July 1st, 2008

I… watched an episode of The Office on Hulu.com and although I had seen the first 4 episodes in 2006, I decided now that I like it and must watch them all. So I am. back to back. most of every day.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaand….
In the teaser clip of episode 33, season 3, Dwight rattles off a string of popular brain teasers in an attempt to stump Ryan and he never even finishes his last one.

Dwight: Brain teaser. I have two coins totaling fifteen cents; one of them is not a nickel. What are they?
Ryan: A dime and a nickel.
Dwight: No, I said one of them is not a nickel
Ryan: But the other one is, I’ve heard that before.
Dwight: Ok, a man and his son get into a car accident. They are rushed to the hospital. The doctor says, there’s no way I can operate on this boy
Ryan: Because he’s my son. The doctor is the boy’s mother.
Dwight: A man is found hanging from the ceiling
Ryan: He stepped on a block of ice, hung himself and the ice melted.
Dwight: A hunter-
Ryan: It’s a polar bear, because you’re at the North Pole.
Dwight: DAMNIT!!

If you saw this and wondered what the hell the actual riddle is, then you’re me. Or at least you’re like me. In that regard. Not in others. Well, maybe others, but not exhibited by this. Anyway, the full riddle iiiiiis:

A hunter leaves his base camp one morning and travels one mile due south. He then turns and travels one mile due east. At this point, he shoots a bear. Taking the direct route, he travels one mile due north and is back at the base camp. What color is the bear?

The answer, of course, is white, because (as Ryan said) it’s a polar bear and the hunter is at the North Pole. But why?  Mmmmbeeeaaacuuuuse…….. [pause, while I look it up]……….

The only place on earth in which one can go south, east and then north and return to his starting position is the North Pole, because the longitudes meet there. Of course….

PS: this post includes text plagerized from sources that are not my brain. suck it.

Mmmm. I wan a piece of that

June 29th, 2008

Just to cover my bases against possible future controversy (but mostly just cuz it’s funny), I took a screencap of this myspace reply I just sent to this girl saying that she “looks delicious” in her main pic among a few other things: Her main pic at the time was a cake.

Right after I sent it, I had a vision of it falling into enemy hands after she had changed her main picture back to one of herself, so I had to clarify in public that I’m not a myspace sextalker - I’m just hilarious.

The part about going to bed at a decent hour is valid too… I’ve become much more sensative to this fact in my old age. Can’t stay up all night with no negative effects of it the next day like I used to back in my youth.

In 37 1/2 days, I’ll know if the data on my laptop can be saved

June 26th, 2008

Last week my 17 inch Macbook Pro crashed while I was using it so I force-powered if off and finished the nights work on my desktop PC. The next day I powered up the Macbook and after a prolonged Apple screen, would receive only a blinking question mark every time a reboot was attempted…

Took it to the Apple store. The “Mac Genius” (I use quotations as a double meaning since its the phrase Apple describes the position themselves, but also that I am skeptical of the validity of the title - both of which can be represented by quotes and would be ambiguous to the reader on which I was trying to convey if I didn’t just tell you “both”. man, I’m awesome) said the hard drive is broken and I need a new one. So I bought one from a local computer store and started to dissect the computer to install it. I did… and stared at it awhile… thinking of all the gorgeous pictures of myself and the time spent editing the 5 or 6 videos on the old hard drive that would be lost forever.

Apple Macbook Hard Drive Replacement
(this is actually just some random person’s picture on photobucket cuz I was too lazy to take a picture and upload it myself cuz its so many extra steps to do it on the PC. my open mac and the new/old hard drive look exactly like this though, so whatever. screw you guys)

The data recovery place that Apple recommended I go to if I wanted to save the info from the busted drive gave me an estimate of $500 to $3,500 before I told him to die and hung up on him (or politely said “okay, thank you so much for the info, have a great day, goodbye”. whatever). But I couldn’t just leave the stuff on there only to be recovered years later when I could afford the time, energy and cost.

So I unhooked the new hard drive and put the old one back in. Tried a few things I found on Google. No use. Got a tip on a software fix, since the hard drive was clearly not physically broken as I found out through other tests I did and went to Apple to buy it. Upon checkout my card was declined. I remembered my current balance and totally lied to the guy and said to give me a minute to call my bank and get the issue resolved. Instead, I bolted out of the mall and back into my car and deposited some checks into my account at my bank 5 miles down the road and zipped right back to the mall in under 5 minutes and told the same guy to try the card again. When it worked he was surprised and asked what the problem was. I blamed it on my exorbitant and luxurious travels abroad for business and pleasure and the bank just has a sensitive “suspicion of lost or stolen card” policy. He was very impressed. And I was very a liar.

I brought the software home. Data Rescue 2. It came with no directions. Just a CD in a box. Ok… I start running it. It goes great for about 20 minutes. Stops the scan at 60 gigabytes. Freezes for about 40 minutes. I call the software makers. They say when it reaches a corrupt cluster it could take a few hours. I say okay, just wanted to see how to proceed - but also, just as a side note - this “estimated time remaining” number isn’t accurate…right? Because it keeps bouncing around from thousands to several thousands of hours. The guy says no, it could in fact be accurate and that he’s heard of drives scanning for up to a month, but that the people do indeed get their data afterward.

Dammit…

That was last week..
So far the scan is up to 75.5gb on a 150gb hard drive, making the progress till now a consistent 2gb per day.

So… continuing at this pace.
with 75gb to go..
at 2gb a day.
2 into 75 is….
37.5 days

Dammit…
