Thanks, writer!

"Do you know that near where I grew up called Jenks Rd? They used to take us out there in drivers ed. Its this country road that seems normal. When you drive west on it, theres a little dip that blocks your view of the road and then boom its like a roller coaster.
I think it dives like 80 feet.

The first time it scares the shit out of you but then its a fun ride. The story goes that the guy who lives in front of the hump will come out and chase you if you keep going over the hump enough times.

Anyways what I mean to say is that in some ways Jenks Rd is like you. Sometimes theres ups and sometimes theres downs, but damn if it isn't a good road."

And I'm sorry to anyone I've hurt- I certainly never meant to.

Ok, this is getting ridiculous.
I bought a new computer in... february?
And the old one has been sitting on my desk next to it since then. I don't use it. I just keep thinking maybe someday I'll want some of the old info/apps off of it.
But it's been 6months now. And I haven't wanted anything.
AND the new line of imacs just came out, which I'm sure made this one devalue like crazy.

So it's time to get off my butt and sell it.
And I don't know where to start. Craigslist? ebay?

But I figured I'd ask here first...

It's in perfect shape. I even have the original box, install CDs and all that stuff. Even the receipt!

specs-

iMac G5.
Bought 10/26/04. Paid ~$2200

20" monitor
1.8ghz G5 processor
512mb RAM (upgradable)
160GB hard drive
built-in wireless/bluetooth
24x CD burner
8x DVD burner

It does not have a built-in iSight camera- but I have an external one I can include if you want it.

and it has AppleCare on it, which is still valid.

There is nothing wrong with it. It is not unacceptably slow or anything. And I take good care of my stuff, so it's not scuffed up or anything.

I only upgraded b/c 1: i had a credit at the apple store and 2: I wanted the intel processor.

I will restore the hard drive to the way it came. But I can also upgrade to OS 10.4 if you want.

I'm asking $600, which is about where they're going for on ebay.

So....

I'm not working today. Which means I can sleep in. Which means I can stay out late the night before.

So, I was looking for something to do. Started calling friends.
One girl said "I'm at the casino with the king of the douchebags".
Then later I got a message that said "uhhhhh. The douchebaggery has begun!"

In the meantime I was talking to a (cute!) friend, and we were trying to figure out what to do, but we are both very indecisive, so it was super painful. We finally decided that we should at least eat. But he didn't really feel like eating in. But I really didn't feel like your usual take-out fare- pizza/wings/subs. So we finally had a brilliant idea: WEGMAN'S! So he picked me up, and we went to wegman's. And it was fun.

But to get back to my story...

So one friend made the douchebag comment. Which I mentioned to the other guy. He said "www.hotchickswithdouchebags.com" I figured he was joking. But, it's a real site. Sort of funny, but sort of taking a somewhat funny idea WAY too far. It's mostly a bunch of people posting pictures like this:




and making fun of them. Apparently there's a whole new 'douchebag' vocablulary that I was unaware of. Including the obvious ('bag) and the derivative ('baguette), and then going on into scrote, scrotology, scrotologist, grieco, bleeth, lobster, etc etc.

But anyway, so I told her about it, and her reply, which I think is priceless:

You mean www.snootyfox.com?

aaaah, hahaha.

(one of the few things about being late for work is seeing this sunrise)
