Pr0n, replica watches and phallic enlargement

January 16th, 2009

These must be the world’s most pressing problems….

Forget world hunger, forget peace in the middle east…these problems pale in comparison to the world-wide shortage of porn, the millions of sad people that have to wear geniune Timex watches instead of replica Rolexes and don’t even get me started on the sad, sad statistic that 99.87% of the male population is just too small resulting in a world-wide epidemic of very depressed women.

Well, if you believe my spam folder anyway, all this must be true.

Has anyone else noticed that spam seems to come in waves? For a while, it will all be about prescription drugs…then that will fade and replica watches comes up, then that fades and something else seems tobe the focus.

I just don’t get spammers. I’ve often wondered if the popular thought that they keep doing it because it must be working is true or not. I’m beginning to wonder if instead we’re seeing an almost endless stream of suckers that are paying someone for some get-rich-quick scheme and in return they teach them or enable to spam or something.

I wonder what the next streak of spam will be…………..?

Welcome back!

DOH!

PS no I’m not going to change it as a reminder to myself not to throw rocks in a glass house.

The man behind the lense

January 13th, 2009

I was putzing around with Facebook this morning because unlike many of my contacts on there, I really had no photos uploaded. Anyway, here I am, looking through the nearly 1500 photos in my iPhoto library, looking for pictures of me to upload.

You know what I found?

There are less than 20 pictures out of 1500 that I’m in.

I recognize all of the events that are captured, so why am I not included? Oh yeah, I’m the man behind the lense. I’m somehow the family’s designated photographer. It’s OK though, I actually enjoy taking pictures. I’m not quite serious enough to call myself a hobbyist photographer, but I understand the basics of lighting, exposures and shutter speeds – but not enough to want to monkey with any of them manually. I find it more fun to capture interesting lighting and I enjoy framing the shot just so.

But, the side effect of all of this is that I have almost no pictures of me (and about 5-6 of those shots are self-portraits……::sigh::).
