30 More dollars you Sprinty duche bags!
Okies...

Here are the facts. I need some opinion on this my peeps.

I have a social addiction, and have done well to curb it since I haven't had a phone. Ok, not so much curbing as much as hanging out with only 1 person, but that's not so bad when she's as cute as she's been. I'm gonna lay down some facts, and I want you to let me know what I should do...

1. I have been paying for phone service this month sans phone (bout 65$).

2. I have to pay the replacement fee for my phone and have finally ($50) so it's on it's way.

3. I can pay an additional fee to have it overnighted typically it's $15 bucks, but since tomorrow is the weekend it more ($30).

4. I can however pay to have my phone overnighted on Sunday and it would get here on Monday and that would cost ($15).

5. I feel like I'm going to explode if I don't have my phone back in a few hours let alone days, and well if I don't get it overnighted at all it'll get here on Thursday for "free" ($0).

6. I can't stand not having a data card in my phone, and this will be the 3rd one I bought for it and they were each about $50 after shipping so this one will make the grand total for data cards kinda high ($150).

so really is another $30 bucks all that bad to be able to chat with folks again? I da know.. you tell me.

I think I want some Chinese food. I'm going to go to Great Wall (the last place my phone was in my presence and where we were the last customers at midnight that fateful night. Where they say they didn't see any phone before I even mentioned my phone.... phone stealers! Yes, I will go there and order something yummy... then punch that dude in the fuckin' face.

Any economist will tell you, don't worry about the sunk costs (the previous $100 for the first two data cards). That $ is gone, forget about it.

If you can't stand the thought of life without the data card, buy it.

And if it was me, I'd spend the extra $15 to get the phone by Monday, but not $30 to get the phone earlier.

But then, I don't know how much "extra cash" you have lying around haha...

I'm am just a rat
Category: humanist
Ok,

Aside from any issue with having anything to do with heart breakers who sleep with ex-bestfriends I have upped my level of ratttiude!

First, however, I am not going to be banding with said heart breaker, the party of the 2nd part decided that it would be bad form to join forces with me for good reason that need not be stated here (there will be no underwear airing on my laundry line). I'm sorry for any ill will that might have been caused by it, but that's all behind us now...

Ok... now recently as a part of my humanist philosophy to better humanity I agreed to donate some blood to an experiment here at work (Roswell Park Cancer Institute), but I didn't want to just sign up blindly, or be constantly harassed to be included in future experiments so I did some probing and the research sound quite fascinating.

I could go on but why not just rep the doctor who's conducting the experiment and put some text from one of my messages to the research scientists up here for you to read:

... For this particular study, an investigator is developing the methodology to look for very common damage to DNA of a particular sort that can than be used in studying some specific hypotheses regarding cancer risk.

We really appreciate your helping out...

I'll go deeper into my ideas about humanism and such latter, but check this dude out, and check out what research you can aid that might cure a disease in your great grand kids by just giving up some blood, and some time to someone like Dr. Box (::snicker::..., yeah his name is Dr. Box!).




lilho - 01/11/07 12:33
sorry about the band thing. i really didnt care anymore, the harm has already been done, and what better way to celebrate than to have a band together. and anyway, this whole situation could have made some great lyrics...
metalpeter - 01/09/07 20:14
Quick questions are you starting a new band or getting an old band back togather and do you have a name Yet? Don't be affarid to let us peeps know if you play anywhere.
brit - 01/09/07 18:27
toneeeeeeeeee

I made hummus and it sucks I need some binding stuff, bring it toooo meeeeee !!!! x
libertad - 01/09/07 17:12
can they tell yet if your have damaged dna or is this something they are working on being able to do? Would they tell you...sorry your DNA is a wreck?
mrmike - 01/09/07 16:59
That mean you have to really think outside "Dr Box"?

My Zelda Like Quest
Category: nerd
do...do-do, do do, doot, da do!
do, do do, doot, da do!
do, do do, doot, da dah, doot, da dah doot

[continue to imagine Zelda musics playing in the background]

Ok... today marks the beginning of the end of my phonelessness.

I just finished the last dungeon and now I'm heading back to IT village past the town of Allen at 901 Washington where the other 2 pieces of the TriForce of communication lay wating.

1. The TriForce of Law - And affidavit that states that I in fact did loose it and am not scamming them for a free one.

2. The TriForce of Identification - A xerox of my NYS drivers licence that proves that I am me

And lastly the sacred ...

3. TriForce of Sprint - A copy of my last bill!


With these and the force of 50 American dollars I can unlock the secrets of the universe and no longer be an caveman with a can and a string. We'll see how long it takes to come back after I send this here letter out...

Until then life remains as drab as it wanna be, unless I'm hanging out with Megan, who happens to be the bee's knees....

I'm going to SPoT to eat a sandwich and read a Chuck Palahniuk book that mysteriously appeared on my stairs days after New Years with a Joanna Newsome album in a brown paper package. Found it when (e:terry), (e:brit) and I came back to my flat to pick up a board game we tried and failed to play before karaoke this friday. I digress, should any of you (e:peeps) see this post and wanna hang, come on down to the down of town and we'll have some fancy coffee drinks...








theecarey - 01/09/07 16:20
nice- which Palaniuk novel? I am an avid fan.
ladycroft - 01/07/07 17:45
zelda! i'm re-playing ocarina of time for the millionth time!
mrmike - 01/07/07 16:11
mmmmmm......fancy coffee drinks
imk2 - 01/07/07 14:26
oh god, you just made me remember my dream last night. i lost my phone and was dreading the $500 i would have to dish out for a new one. and then, in my dream, i remembered that you said our insurance covers us if we loose them. and then all was good with the world.

New Years Revloutions!
Category: unnerd
Ok,

I hate new years resolutions, mostly cause they're never taken seriously, and when they are it's usually not something that should have waited a year, but... I'm feeling giddy right now so here goes.

1. I hope to start a small government in my pants by this time next year!
2. I will most certainly get a phone before the year is over.... but only gawd knows when since more disaster has stricken since last I posted...
(hence the desire to die)
3. I will live to see my self not die!
4. I will not go to the gym until all the resolution people are gone...
5. I will make more home meals since my cooking is better than just about every girls who've I've ever date (ok, Becky's quesadillias were kinda svelte but she was just a mean person so she don't count)
6. I promise to shave vycious at least once more, possibly this time with a small half-Asian girl assisting me. (cause it's funny!)
7. I promise to make my computer work, or blow it up with dyn-o-mite (yes the Jimmie Walker kind).
7. I promise to give (e:vycious) his number seven back... which he really shouldn't be that upset about not having since it's kinda lame.
8. I promise not to make resolutions that are stupid or not entertaining to at least one other person, since really they're just comic relief for the richer, thinner, more productive selves we all keep locked tidily away in the sticky oubliettes of our minds...
9. I may have a cheese sandwich in the next 10 minutes
10. I will program a bunch of stuff...


There's my tenleven revolutions.

Ok here's the sad news... Phone still gone, now debit card gone and the wait for new phone broadens, I think I've contracted some kind of stomach flu, my compys still broken, I still can't dunk a basketball, double dutch still confuses me, and I'm waiting for my liver to end up missing, but on a lighter note

I HAD THE MOST FUN I'VE EVER HAD ON NEW YEARS AT (E:PMT) 's

Thanks sooo much for having that shindig guys... You dudes rock. Pray for me (I mean it).




imk2 - 01/03/07 10:24
yes i agree,

wii party, wii party, wii partaaay!
vycious - 01/03/07 00:01
i will respond to your resolutions, as following:

1. just keep your ambassadors right where they are!
2. at this rate, you're right. but probably more like end of this year...
3. technically you never see anything you do.
4. what about those of us who keep our resolutions?
5. yes.
6. no. nice try. almost had me.
7. fire!
8. yes.
9. yes.
10. yes.

happy new year, baby!
jenks - 01/02/07 23:59
wii party wii party

glad you had fun at the party, but i feel like I didn't see much of you... Might that have had something to do with a little redhead? ;)
But I agree, funnest NYE ever.

But I did meet kim, and we DO kinda look alike...

nice resolutions. And nice use of oubliette!!

I don't cook often, but when I do it's not half bad. I should challenge you to a cookoff.

(you are getting random semi-private conversation via comment since you are phoneless and I don't know how else to reach you.)

mk - 01/02/07 23:29
i love your fourth resolution. i wonder how long it takes for the resolution people to realize that they will never actually follow through on their plans? i bet you'll be there in no time!
