What About Your Friends?

Maybe I’m being a little over-sensitive but the following exchange struck a nerve with me. I was chilling watching the video for Beyoncé new single ‘Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)’ and a friend of mines had IM’ed me on Yahoo!: Continue reading »

Ordering 1 dozen of premium roses with vase: $69.99
Paying extra shipping and handling fees to ensure a Valentine’s Day delivery: $16
Surprising the ‘BF’ at work with a bouquet that looks like Charlie Brown X-Mas Tree: Priceless.

Spent all that money and you shipped a bunch of flowers that look like this.

Been fairly busy with the new job and loving it. Here’s just a little something til I get to posting regularly.

So Yea, I’m On Facebook

Thursday, August 9th, 2007

I’m generally weary of any website that touts itself as a social network. Maybe I’m just getting old and I’m failing to keep up with the kids. Where instead of putting any type of effort, creating and showcasing a designed website, people flock to sites like facebook, myspace and such to generate what amounts to a clusterfuck of brightly flickering colors, images, horrendous coding and Internet predators.Yes, I admit that I really don’t get the point of social networking site but I guess that ultimately proposes the $10,000 Peso question; Why am I on facebook?

I understand the context that yes, this is a social networking site i.e. networking in a online social environment. But doesn’t that sound like a big crock of shit? Can you truly have a honest to goodness social and networking experience online? Certainly online networking cannot hold a candle to events where interpersonal communication say like a company picnic or a dinner party. Maybe I’m comparing apples and oranges but tagging a picture of that funny face you made at the Christmas Party last year in someone’s online album wouldn’t have the same effect as showing off your photo album at the family barbecue and explaining that funny face. But I digress.

So to answer the from above; why am I on facebook? I really can’t. Blame the fact that I keep getting facebook invites from all my frat brothers and after the fifteenth one, I finally decided to accept, not really knowing what I was getting into. I know, I live on the edge. I really don’t have high expectations for this site or my profile. There’s a chance I could say ‘Fuck this!’ and delete it all next week. All I can say is that my name is Tony, and I’m on facebook.

*Edit* I guess If I were to write a entry about being on Facebook, I should at least put a link to my Facebook page.

I Found It!

This song was been bouncing around in my head for a few weeks. Every time I try to recall it, I get the lyrics confused with Corinne Bailey Rae’s song Breathless but after countless Google searches I found it.

STOP CALLING MY HOUSE!

I don’t care who you think I am, you got the wrong damn number! I don’t care how you got my number, stop calling it! You couldn’t have gotten my shit from a chatline, because 1. I don’t do chatlines and 2. my shit is all local. I usually don’t put folks out on blast but that shit, calling my house seven times in 5 minutes, was not cute. So Anna, you retarded bridge troll, here’s your 5 minutes of Internet infamy.

5 Things…

5 Things You Didn’t Know About Me
Just a simple meme to kill the time during my dipsalicious vacation.

1. From September to April, I’m serverely ashy. As the temperature drops, so does the moisture in my skin. Doesn’t matter how much lotton I use, as soon as I hit the cold Fall/Winter air, my name goes from Tony to Ashy Larry.

2. I watch Telemundo, and other non-English programming. I can barely speak English, let alone a second or third langauge, but the commercials on these station seem so much better than the one broadcast on English-speaking stations.

3. I hate clothes shopping. I think its something that stems from childhood and back-to-school shopping where mom is picking out shirts and pants that are either completely horrid or just lame. I like to look nice, would love to have a wardobe full of dope gear, but if it involves pulling shit from off a rack and fitting rooms then I guess I’ll stick with the jean with the worn hole in the crotch. On the flip I can spend hours upon hours in Best Buy, Circuit City and the Apple Store. Also I don’t actually own any pants with crotch-holes.

4. I haven’t bought a comic book and over two months. While evaluating my finances and trying to save money to do work on my house, I cut back on some the non-essentials in my life. Unfortunately I dropped comics right in the middle of what was promised to be the biggest comic crossover since Crisis on Infinite Earths. Insert sad emotion here.

5. I still play with toys.It’s no secret that I collect action figures but after bringing them home I take them out of the package and play with them for a good five to ten minutes. Afterwards I place the figures on their stands/bases and leave them to collect dust.

On The Last Episode Of…

I was truly trying to get through this month without saying a word, but I guess I really couldn’t do that. There has been a lot on my mind lately from whether or not I want to keep this domain name to ways to cut back on expenses since I don’t get paid again until Martin Luther King Day. I find myself not wanting to leave the house again, I’m not sure if that’s a sign that I need to go back on the Zoloft (not a literal statement) or because I’m playing broke again.

In any rate the house is coming along, even though I haven’t had the time to time, energy or money to start putting money into it. I would like to wait until spring to see how work pans out; hopefully nothing bad will crop up from now until April. My cat, Jinx, is adjusting well. She mostly eats and sleep like most cats and is getting pretty big.

I’ve been dying to do a redesign for this site for a few weeks now, but that issue of time keeps me from sitting down and butchering someone else’s wordpress template. Maybe I’ll go back to cutting up K2 while I’m off for Christmas.

Also I have a few entries in the works, one regarding my trip to back home to Philly and a Video Podcast as well.

First Part’s Done

Don’t know why it took me a week to sit down and get this done, well actually I do, but that’s a story for next year. Anyway I have one of my items posted on ebay: my Sirius Satellite Radio. For the last 3 months my radio has been collecting dust because when I use the service, I use the Internet radio version. So since I’m cutting back, why not change my account from receiver (no Doogie Howser) to Internet, save some someny monthly and hock the equipment. Here’s the auction link.

And I hope everyone has a safe holiday. I’ll be spending mines volunteering at the Salvation Army in Chicago, sleeping and watching gawful television marathons.
