Today children, I have a love story for you.

*Note: I was wearing my hat with a big yellow ” ! ” on it, a symbol of quest givers in Warcraft*

Today I decided to go to Bulk Barn (where you can buy candy in bulk) to get Gummi Bears and planned on paying around $1/lb. Well they were only $0.66/lb so I decided to buy twice as much. I got up to the counter and there was this cute blond cashier, Allison, there and she rangs it up and said “Wow, 10lbs of Gummi Bears. How about we say there is 5 lbs and I send you on the quest to call me?” I replied “That’s a good reward for such an easy quest. Is it a daily?” and she laughed. After a second of comparing our stats some old bat got in line behind me and I had to run because I was out of mana.

End Game: It cost me only $4.32, I looted 10 lbs of Gummi Bears, a phone number of an attractive young nerd-girl and got the spring-in-step buff. And people say candy isn’t good for you? I beg to differ.

I woke up this morning, like I’ve done a million times before, and decided “wow, I haven’t eaten since I went to sleep last, I can use some food”. Now given that I went to McDonald’s for breakfast yesterday, I thought I’d just have Eggos today.

Fair enough, I go make 2 Eggos and eat them. I then think to myself “They were good, I’ll have some more”. Of course, I have to open a new sleeve of Eggos since I had just finished one off. The next thing I know I’m ripping and tearing at this wrapper trying to get it open, yelling at the Eggos saying things like “Are you kidding? I eat Eggos like you for breakfast!”. It wasn’t until I said “Oh so you like it rough? Fine! I’ll cut your package off then eat you!” followed by “Yes, I know that it would be easier if I did it in the reverse order!” that I realized the two most important things:
1) I’m not only talking out loud to my breakfast, but yelling at it.
2) I make a lot of sexual references when I talk to my food.

I think from now on I’ll skip breakfast and just have a coffee.

George was a funny guy, I watched a lot of his stand-up. He died on Sunday at the age of 71 due to heart failure. That sucks.

“I think he’s down there now. Screaming up at us”

Took me two days (be it only 10 minutes a day) but I have my phone set up to let me blog. Ill post what plugin it was later. It was either wphone or mobileword (think that was it). I put them both in the way out the door and am using them on the bus now to post this. Its very primitive, but thats all I want so it rocks. Now I can blog from work…on my lunch of course *wink wink*
That said, time to transfer buses so this post comes to an end. Frosted Flakes.

So I’ve finally gotten around to changing stuff up a little bit here. The main things:

So keep an eye out true believers, I’ll get the two completely on their own eventually and all will be super swell.

I don’t know if I should feel sorry for this kid or to pat his mother on the back. In short, the mother woke this boy up to go to school, he told her where to go. In most families, that’s generally where it would end. Well to take it one step further, this boy argued then went and punched a TV.

Now at this point I’m thinking “If he were my kid he wouldn’t be sitting for a week”. Well that’s good and all, but his mother called the police instead! All I can comment to hearing that is “Holy shit, you serious?!” With all the ridiculous laws that you can’t discipline your kids anymore she really didn’t have much choice.

Anyway, over analyzing this here, just read it and laugh at this kid being a dumbass:

It’s true and it’s completely blown my mind. True, I haven’t been blogging quite as much as I hoped due to work, but Blogathon is still always going to be a day worth booking off to do. Unfortunately the Admins of Blogathon decided that they weren’t going to be able to do it this year. Horrible, right?

However, Jen has stepped up to provide an alternative titled Day of Blogs. She hasn’t put together too much info yet, but I’ve contacted her and thrown my hat in the ring to help out any way possible. A year without Blogathon is a summer without air conditioning: Possible but it just ain’t gonna happen.

So I’ll start blogging again here with details of it, and we’ll see where that idea goes. And yes, the other posts are still coming stay tuned.

Now I know I had said that there was a lot of stuff in the works and I was going to start blogging and all that jazz…well I am…just not yet.

Currently I’m working full time (and might I add I’m #1 on my team now for 2 weeks running by a huge margin, that’s right I’m awesome *toot toot*) but aside from that WoW is evil. Evil I tell you! Right now I’m playing a level 69 (giggity giggity) blood elf hunter by the name of Eggos on Boulderfist and lets just say I like to “pwn the newbs lolz”…yeah I’m a BG whore.

Now as for the layouts: There is/was a design made up for SN.net, it just had to be coded. But when doing so I came to the realization of “wtf are these buttons even going to link to?” so that’s going to be put on hold until I decide exactly what the layout is actually going to be used for.

I do have a twitter floating around wherever I put that link at, the user name is Egen. Oh, there it is, duh: http://twitter.com/Egen. so if you’re really in the need to see my fantastic writing on a daily basis, there you go (well when they don’t show a picture of a whale on my page, I’m not that big yet!)

Anyway, I’ll try finding some good news later and prewrite some stuff if I see the oppertunity. If not, yeah. That is all.

We’ve moved, aren’t your thrilled?!
ShirtNinja.net has been struck by a bolt of awesome and split down the middle.

On one side, we’re going to have iRblogging.com: A blog above all else about whatever we want to talk about when the fingers start hitting the keys.
On the other side, we’re going to have ShirtNinja.net: It hasn’t been decided what will be put here in it’s entirety, but I can assure you that it won’t go to waste.

Those said, we can’t just have a simple move! So keep an eye out and the two sides will BOTH most likely get new layouts. Again, welcome to iRblogging.

This is an older post, created in January. I’m going to start blogging again, working on writing up new drafts of some posts so cleaning out these old ones. -Jeff

Well I’ve had enough of Bell Sympatico, they really are assholes. I’ve been having problems with them for months and every time I call them they either A) ‘fix’ it (meaning it seems fast since they disconnected my net completely for 30 minutes) or B) Hang up on me. You might be asking me “Well why didn’t you switch?” The answer is because the only other option is Rogers/Cogeco, and they have a $99 installation fee.

Today, however, I decided to take action on my shitty service (when it takes over an hour to download 200mb when there are over 2000 seeds, there is a problem). Also, the fact that I was clued in to Bell admitting to lowering my transfer speeds during ‘peak times’ set me overboard. I had spent hours on the phone and them ‘not knowing what is wrong’ when really they’re just fucking with me. If I’m paying full price for a full service I want that full service all the time, not just outside ‘peak hours’ cock gobblers.

Where was I? Right, I called up Rogers and asked them what they could offer me for around the same price range. The answer I got:

• Waived installation fee
• 7mbps Download / 1mbps Upload
• 61GB total limit/month
• $44.95/month ($3 off for 6 months, so $41.95/month)

Current package with Bell:

• 5mbps Download / 512kbps Upload (though highest I’ve ever gotten was 3.1mbps download)
• “No total limit” (however my charge seems to fluctuate by $3 every month and they refuse to send me a paper bill)
• $47.99 - $51.00/month

In short, I’ve been getting screwed around lately. I’m going to call up Bell and given them the option of cutting my bill ALOT (I’m talking $30/month max) or I’ll be canceling it come the end of the billing cycle.

UPDATE: I did call Bell, and they gave me a $80 credit on my account. I accepted it but am still planning on switching to Rogers to see how well they can service me. (yeah, had to say it that way, it made you laugh admit it)
