Today a guy messages me stating he used ICQ rather than forum PM, then copy/pastes the message from the forum that I left him. Ok. I get it. You want to trade traffic. My response? “What do you want to do?” He responds with asking me if it’s ok to ask me questions. I reply, yes, let’s speed this up…get to the point and just ask the questions.

He responds by saying he will contact me later when I have more time.

I didn’t ever say I don’t have time, I just want you to ask the questions already.

The ten minutes I spent talking to this guy accomplished nothing because he couldn’t even ask the questions he wanted to ask.  Just ask away…it’s that easy.

Or how about today’s weather. It’s in the mid 50′s in late January. Snow and ice are melting. Skies are blue and the least cloudy I’ve seen them in weeks. And of course – what happens on sunny days and nice weather?

Carwash.

I went out for lunch around 1:30 and decided to wash the snow remnants off my own mobile, and of course there’s a line at the carwash. A line. Yes. A line. Are you kidding me? No. I can understand a four car line in the middle of the normal work day, but a ten car line is preposterous.

It went fast and I turned down the magic hand wax; it’s just going to be unsunny later in the week and probably snow again – no point going all out; I just want this white horseshit off my car.

After my trip to the carwash I stopped in Acme for my new favorite lunch. A bed of macaroni and cheese topped with chicken fingers and three containers of bbq sauce for dipping pleasure and an energy drink. Then I noticed they had massive cooked shrimp and added those to the list.

I left Acme, cashed almost a grand in adult webmastering checks, and stopped at the movie theatre to purchase two tickets for My Bloody Valentine. $24. What. The. F**k. For a movie? Really? I can buy the damn movie and show it to everyone I wish in my own home, but for $24 we get to sit in your seat and watch it? Jesus p.o.w.-torturing Christ. At least it came with two pairs of official 3d glasses, maybe I’ll wear them out on special occasions.

Speaking of movies, I saw that Dark Knight was basically snubbed of any respectable award nominations in the Oscars. When Sean Penn, Mickey Rourke, two guys I don’t know are nominees (Brat Pitt is only respectable nominee) over guys who acted in the better movies of 2008, that’s when I know the Oscars are a pathetic joke.

Heath Ledger should be considered the main actor of Dark Knight because without him there is no story. It would be just another senseless crime fighting movie. If you think about it, Batman (Bale) is really the supporting actor. Or better yet, why can’t there be two main actors? Or no main actor but two equal supporting actors. Those characters were nothing without each other. Where’s the justice in handing Heath a deserving reward for portraying the same character that Nicholson couldn’t come close to nailing and he’s one of the best actors of our time. Oscars are a huge joke and the crew from Dark Knight will be cashing massive paychecks. You guys winning your shiny little trophy can sulk in line knowing your movie didn’t generate income close to that of Dark Knight. People running the Oscars are just as stupid. You’d think they’d at least nominate Dark Knight for awards just to get viewership and ratings. Nope. Pure idiocy. No wonder ratings for the useless award show drop every year. I hope Dark Knight surpasses Titanic in all times sales. Titanic was dreadful and only people with a penis who saw that movie were gay males and guys forced by their girlfriends in hopes they’ll get popcorn bag hand-jobs in the theater.

I drove by another carwash on the way home from purchasing tickets for My Bloody Valentine. The lack of brains people have does not shock me. Lines for this carwash extended into main street traffic. It’s a do-it-your-self station and people are actually ignorant and stupid enough to wait in line in the middle of the street and stop traffic for a long country block. I would’ve thrown something at this fat middle aged woman in a minivan if I had to wait on a street for her obese self with 90′s haircut to get off the damn street.

Did she not see the 100 cars waiting angrily in traffic because she stuck out into the street? Go to another damn carwash – there’s about fifty of them within a five mile radius.

Welcome the webmasters shrimp cocktail.

I managed to find content for three websites and now I move onto the editing and uploading to the desired sites.

Looks like its going to be a busy few hours as I sort the items into groups of similar content to make uploading easier.

I’m thinking about buffalo chicken pizza for dinner – quick, fast, and less than a minute down the street.

I had shrimp with lobster sauce in white rice and a spicy salmon roll for breakfast/lunch – it’s totally a fast food day. I’ll do extra pull-ups and drink green tea to spike my metabolism to make up for it.

Lesson for today – backing up content is a good idea, but it’s even better six years later to see your old work and random saved items.

While updating numerous sites, gaining new link trades, and updating some .htaccess files and washing my cats ass, I couldn’t help but laugh at the really old black man who could barely mutter words out during his speech.

I seriously think he may be as old as the first slave. He definitely gave the best and most humorous speech of the day and if I were there I would’ve given him a standing ovation. Unfortunately, two other old guys had seizures. One of them was Ted Kennedy. The other I do not know.

One part of today’s events that bored the piss out of me was the poetry woman who could’ve put a crying baby to sleep out of boredom.

As the Presedential Limo leaves Capitol Hill to begin the parade, I can’t help but notice that the cameramen on top of the White House resemble snipers. Well…snipers with massive cannons who can’t hide too well.

After this I’ll update the database on my stats program to check conversion rates. Then perhaps I’ll grab lunch. I’ve eaten nothing but a bowl of high fiber cereal today. I should probably eat.
