So in complete contrast to my last journal - which I still think is some of the funniest stuff ever. Wow, there is a lot of video about gang violence in Buffalo on youtube.

I think I might have found one of the funniest site ever - Engrish.com I don't know what makes Asian's mistranslating into english so funny - but it is. I think it is a combination of wrong word selection and not understad the cultural signifiance of certain words. ANyways - it cracks me up so much.

So here are some of my favorites from the signs/posters section

Hope they don't have one of these signs at the airport today, lol.




If only we had a picture of (e:lilho) and (e:hodown) here


I would definately rather eat squirrel than anything that looks like it: e.g. rat?












How do you enforce this?


Serioulsy is this dog flavored ice cream?


Also for (e:lilho)

I install Simplify Media on my iphone 3g. It lets you listen to your itunes library from anywhere in the world via your phone. Not only does it let you surf and stream your library, it displays lyrics as any good music player should. All the linux ones do, the one for my not phone does. I always wondered why the iphone or itunes itself does not. This is what apple should have done a long time ago. It is awesome and free for the first 100,000 downloads.

Had a semi stressful work day. Not because the work was so hard (although I ironed out a lot of bugs) but because I was trying to wrap up any lose ends before Vegas. We went to lunch at Anchor Bar today and I ate mild chickenwings - basically with no sauce. It was pretty good, better than I remembered anchor bar being. It makes me wonder if I just didn't like their hotsauce. We went because our new co-worker just moved to Buffalo for the job at Roswell and had never tried it.

Afterwards, I worked out so hard at the gym. It feels good. According to their much more accuratre looking scale I weigh 158 which is much better than the 153 I weigh on my scale at home.

On a side note, Holy crap, Apple is worth more than google today. I can't believe this - I saw it on macrumors:

- Microsoft (MSFT) - $255,648,204,000
- IBM (IBM) - $169,964,678,000
- Apple (AAPL) - $157,012,662,240
- Google (GOOG) - $156,392,862,560
- Cisco (CSCO) - $142,125,692,160
- Intel (INTC) - $135,658,860,000
- Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) - $111,866,423,760
- Nokia (NOK) - $97,746,699,520
- Research In Motion (RIMM) - $71,143,935,000
- Disney (DIS) - $59,257,501,500
- Dell (DELL) - $50,483,256,060

Cleaning
It takes a lot for me to think someone is truly disgusting but my former tenants win the prize. The house looked liked it had never been cleaned in all the years they lived there. I never seen an apartment as dirty.

The stove had enough grease on it the allow an elephant to slip through a needle hole. The freezer had ice cream all melted in it, a bottle or ranch dressing an some cheese remained as if anyone was going to use it. Everything, was as filthy and disgusting as it could possibly ever be.

To make it even more fun the stupid fucking bitches, I hope I never see them again, glued the god damn windows shut. Who the fuck glues windows shut. I have a picture to add to this. Yes, hot glue, like the craft kind - on most if not all of the windows - all the fuck the way around.





Months ago I asked the downstairs tenants to move upstiars, which has been renovated now -as I wanted to work on the bathroom. They insisted on staying and apparently , in all the years that they lived there they never once wiped off the ceiling or wall after taking a shower to the point that it looks like this now - argh. It was never intended to have no ventilation. In fact it was never intended to never be cleaned. When we get back I am going to have to tear of the walls and put in a walk in shower as rehab is impossible.



Basically, every tenant has been terrible and trashed the place in one way or another or has not paid rent, or broken their lease, or whatever - its always something. I am so over that ghetto. I wish the school would just buy it and make it into a parking lot - and you know how I feel about surface parking lots.

I can't just blame the last girl to leave, the other two had plenty of time to clean their own rooms before they left. They kind of just stiffed her at the end with the cleaning - which shows how shitty of people they really were. Any decent person would have cleaned their own room before they moved out so their remaining roommate - or in this case the landlord would have to clean up their filth.

There was just so much garbage left behind. This is only a portion of it. There is also a ton of trash in the basement and attic.




(E:lilho) helped a ton by mopping the floors and cleaning the bathroom. (e:terry) and I also manged to tile the counter in the upstairs apartment. This extra house has been such a financial and time drain. I think it was probably the worst decision I ever made in my life - to have a rental property. Right now, it has been empty as we are doing repair work and costs about $500 a month to operate and that is without the repair costs, new floor in the kitchen, new stove, new refrigerator, $7000 worth of paint a couple years back.

Call me elitist but it will be a happy day for me when I never have to cross to the other side of Richmond ever again.

Just stop reading now if you aren't up for a very angry rant.

Adora
Yup, Adora - I fucking hate you. My family, did a lot for you because you had this poor african immigrant student sob story and they felt sorry for you. Now looking back, I just feel like you are such a manipulating, thankless bitch.

So the whole time you were studying in America, going to D'Youville for nursing I just kept thinking - why the fuck should I give you anything - its not like anyone was forcing you to study in America. It would be like me moving to Sweden for school and then manipulating everyone into feeling sorry for me because I am just a poor American from upstate New York. Now you drive a fancier car than me and go to Duke for medical school, go figure.

I still can't get over that after everything, you couldn't even clean your room before you left and you subtracted the security deposit from her last months rent. I am so angry I want to spit in your face. You even sent some lame-ass card thanking us for everything we did - meaning you recognized it - but you couldn't even clean up after yourself.

Remeber the time (e:paul,42649) - that you decided to make the non-electrically inclined upstairs tenant do electric work on Christmas Eve - forcing us to leave our family party and come save you guys from darkness. My father was so mad.

That upstairs tenant came to me to complain how you would always be manipulating him into doing stuff which I totally believe because you are such a whiny fucking manipulating bitch - God I hate you so much.

Remember the day of my grandmothers funeral when you insisted on coming to the graveyard and then in the middle of it needed to go home because of some religious observance that prevented you from attending the buffet. I was so mad that I had to leave on the day and take you home. If it had not been for my father I would have left you there.
