In nomine Yahoo, et Ebay, et Spiritus Googli...


I've been on the internet for, I don't know, like 10 years now, yet surprisingly the internet knows very little about me. By “internet”, I of course mean the omnipotent entity that created and oversees such sites as Facebook, Ebay, Amazon, and Plenty of Fish (all created from the rib of Yahoo, I might add).

I've spent way too much of my life online for the almighty internet to know so little about me. I equate surfing with praying, and as such have come to realize that many of my cyber prayers have fallen on deaf ears. Yes, I bought a few things for my ex on Amazon, but I am not interested in women's fashion. Hell, I'm not even interested in my own fashion. I bought one women's belt buckle, but that one purchase seems to negate the countless 00g plugs I've bought. Now I receive emails informing me of some line of clothing created/inspired by the crack house of fashion: the Kardashians.

Ebay, on the other hand, at least seems to be trying, although it also seems to have a rather low opinion of me. Despite only having ordered from American sellers, Ebay feels rather confident that I would be interested in .99 deals from China. These .99 deals are also usually accompanied by a $20 shipping fee, and a 4-6 week estimated delivery. See what I'm saying? In essence, Ebay is saying “Hello, unpatriotic American. We know you're an idiot, and we know how little you care about the U.S. economy; may we suggest this 10 wrap fancy tattoo liner/shader gun machine from SuperHonestCowboySeller (99.2% Positive feedback)”.

Facebook? Eh. Facebook is more like a church than the act of an entity. You go, talk to a few people, compare clothing, and brag about your kids. But in order to do so, you have to put something in the collection plate (ads).

Chances are if you're sitting at home, and bored enough to actually read this blog, you already know what Plenty of Fish is. For those new to the whole “Hmm. What should I do until the mail gets here?” lifestyle, Plenty of Fish is a free dating site, where a woman who “tells it like it is” and whose “kids come first ALWAYS”, can meet a man whose idea of a good time is blasting off crotch shots to any female within a 50 mile radius, in the hopes of finding “the one”.

Seeing as how my personality sucks, and I have nothing to do while waiting for the mail, I signed up for POF.

I'm not exactly sure what credentials the internet uses to suggest possible matches, but Jesus...er, I mean Google! No, I'm not interested in the 42 year old that lives in Kentucky. Nor am I interested in the 18 year old mother of 4 in Ohio. As a matter of fact, I try to avoid Ohio, Kentucky, and mothers of 4 at all costs, as I've never had a good time in any of them.

Call me when you find a 30-32 year old redhead within 10 miles of me with <2 kids, and no unconfirmed, yet convenient, medical conditions.

Amen.


Yay, I'm back!

After countless emails concerning my whereabouts, and the status of this blog, I'm finally back. Thank you for the prayers and well wishes, by the way. I'm sure the 9 year old with cancer appreciates being skipped over, but whatever. Thanks.

Anyway, expect to see a bit more activity here in the near future. I have way too much to complain about, way too much to make fun of, and way too much time on my hands.

Luck you.
