I just spent 45 minutes on the phone with COMCAST CABLE to get internet. The woman I orginally was working with *seemed great. Got me a great deal, friendly and *seemed like she knew what she was doing.
I was put on hold for 20 minutes so she could schedule an appointment (the package I wanted didn't come with self-install). Next thing I know James thanks me for calling Comcast and wants to know how he can help. WTF?! I just spent 45 minutes going over shit with another operator. Apparently she never finished my job order and I was dumped back in the que. James also informed me the package she was offering me was down-grading my cable which is not an option. Huh? For the rest of my life I have to have digital cable? According to James yes I need to keep those useless 100 extra channels in order for Comcast to also charge me $60 for basic internet. I'd rather spend that $60 a month at my local coffee shop and get free wifi. Fuck you COMCAST.

I'm obsessedCategory: black mac book
with taking my own picture. I used to think it was so narcissistic, now i realize i was just jealous.
ps- no dirty comments i know what that picture looks like. also i just ordered a fruit bowl and the server gave me a spoon to eat it with. i hate spoons. just because it comes in a bowl doesn't mean it has to be eaten with a spoon. fuck spoons.

Yeah, I think there is something wrong with my monitor, because your picture turned out fine at another monitor. Nice haircut! :)

Please tell me my monitor is not dying? All I can see is a luminous blue silhouette of eye-shades, and what I can only imagine is a cellphone with an antenna/straw sticking out of a beverage glass. Is the picture very dark or something??

Holy CrapCategory: humor
In response to "stuff white people like" I give you:
Below is a small excerpt:
Seriously, have you ever been to a reeally broke ass country? Do you see people jogging? Probably not, but let's say on the off-chance that you do. Do you think they paid money to have the right to run? If you see someone running in a third-world country...you better run with them, because that means some shit is going down. That's probably why Kenyans are so good at marathons - they only have one speed when they're running: Stay Alive. Let's put it this way, there is no fucking Nicaraguan Marathon every year. And if there is, it's because some douche from Seattle or somewhere started one for him and all his friends to go to.
Also: Facebook is still blowing my mind. Where do I even begin? How come no one forced me to join back in 1999?

I love the rant about Hipsters
"Here is a perfect example: thrift store clothes. The stuff you are buying (overpriced, I might add) from a thrift store(or vintage) was shit that was hot 20 years ago, but you rationalize it by saying “it’s ironic.†You just picked up the scraps of some guy who is now 30 but wore that stuff when he was 17…oh wait you are 30 also. High school hipsters I get, but old hipsters? There ain’t shit hip about a 45 year-old in skinny jeans. Why don’t you just go to the kids you hated in high school's old houses and raid their childhood closets? That way you can wear the very clothes of those that were such “jerks†to you in high school. How is that shit for ironic?"
This is what I tell my Ex all the time when we talk about what they wear. I always tell her, "I didn't like those clothes back then, I sure don't like them now!"

BloggingCategory: life
A few weeks back I got a shiny new black mac book. I was sure this was somehow going to change my life. Yeah that didn't happen. I've discovered that everyone locks their wi-fi networks, meaning I never use my laptop. Today I got the sudden urge to break my baby out and actually blog. Due to the lack of wi-fi I was forced to go the the local bar. So here I sit:

Sorry Jess.

I wonder if that has to do with the whole elimination-of-analog-cable-next-year thing.
Well I see Comcast is the same as Adeplhia and then Time Warner that when ever you get more services it is free but when you get rid of stuff they call it downgrading and charge you for it, It is Complete and utter bullshit!!!!
