Yeah, it was Sixpack's avatar for a while or maybe it was in his signature.

So I has this guy IM me out of the blue from Mexico City stating he knew me and was a friend of mine. Never heard of him. He sent me his pic, didn't recognize him. Started sending me mp3s of good music. Still didn't ring any bells, but I appreciated the songs. Weird Tingly Feeling is going on? I don't know anybody in Mexico. I'm all confused.

I thought so too, at first. I figured that at any minute, he was going to link to some website or send me Tool.bat and try to get me to run it or something, but he didn't. Very odd.

Sending music? Does that require a "direct connect" of some sorts different from that of regular chatting?

If so, he may be trying to steal yer Ips and sending you his trojans.

Nope. Came right through the chat windows. I think Demo is right. It's coming from DOWNSTAIRS!

Wait, I don't use my computer upstairs from Mexico. Nevermind.

I wouldn't feel right posting his pic for the world to see. Also, fuck spending this money. It's sitting in my savings account waiting for the day when the price of gas goes up to $15 a gallon.

Mine is going in my account so I can use it to fix my car and start spending my regular money on gas again.

I haven't seen my check yet.

In other news, today is the last day of insanity schedule! I can now return to my normal night shift instead of pulling 48hours at a time with less then 6 hours of sleep inbetween.

*does happy dance.

The bad news is that today I have 38 eight-year-olds all to myself to get ready for a dance recital.  :-P
It'll be fine. It's just one more day until sleep anyway.  :-D

Whelp, the Boy Scouts are officially on my shit list. Got asked to make a donation from one of their scouts while I was on the way out of Lowes. Halfway though my, "No, thank you" the scout leader or whatever it is when they're old and still play dress up also starts asking for my money. I tell him "No" as well and he responds with this gem: "Do you even love your country?"

What
the
fuck?

You're gonna question my patriotism because I don't want to donate my money to continue to fund a junior paramilitary organization* that isn't exactly know for its tolerance? I just kept walking. No point in telling him where he can take his junior brownshirt league*. What is this country coming to where if you don't give your money away to an ALL AMERICAN FUCK YEAH organization, you're suddenly a commie pinko America hater?



*Slight troll here, but dammit, I'm pissed
