Ok, the video does have sound so trying this again. Happy brettcajun?
Month: August 2009
Duh!
Here
Still here. Just busy busy busy. In a nutshell I’m:
- disgusted/sad over greedy corps masquerading as “grass roots” efforts and spreading outright lies and fear regarding healthcare reform.
- happy over last week’s moto-ride. One of the best yet.
- adjusting to me new (old) schedule well.
- working on a couple projects that are consuming a lot of my free time.
- having hot sex with random hot menz.
There probably won’t be a WWMD this month as I haven’t gotten around to fleshing one out so-to-speak. No worries, I’ll get to it on the next go-round.
The new roomie is working out exceedingly well so far. We rarely see each other because of opposite schedules. Last weekend, he took it upon himself to do a very nasty chore, steam cleaning th e common areas. I was so surprised (happily so) to come home from my moto-ride and discover he’d done it for me. What a trooper! The old roomie is doing ok too.
The new rims for the bike are on back-order and won’t be here until September. I’m sad but can’t help it.
The boy is doing well. I miss him at times but we still talk daily.
Ok, that is about it for now. More later when I have some more time.
Oh, here. Enjoy a ‘purdy picture!
Uptick
In news of the probably not-so-exciting category, I’ve noticed a huge jump in scam related spammy email lately. My email filter does a pretty darn good job of filtering out the crap but I do often quickly scan thru it to catch any false-positives. So anyway, you probably remember the old Nigerian money scam and its many 100’s of variants. Usually written in poor English about someone somewhere in the world trying to access or “free up” millions of dollars from a deceased/deposed person of some sort and “if only you would help” you could have a small percentage (in the millions) for your time and effort.
What this tells me is that people are once again falling for crap like this. It could also just be unscrupulous souls trying to take advantage of the poor economy and people who are desperate for cash. While I’m sure the latter is part of it, these folks focus on scams that work. I get about 10-20 a day now which is a huge spike. Used to, I’d see one every week or so. To see this many all at once is scary to think about.
If you’ve been living under a rock somewhere just try to remember “if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is”. In other words, don’t be an idiot. Of course, I prefer my granny’s version, “believe none of what you hear and half of what you see.”
