1. When I was a kid, I was a nerd. A major nerd and I loved every moment of my nerdiness. The problem was that any good nerd had a pair of nerdy glasses. So I cheated on an eye exam to get glasses, even though my sight was fine. I wore those glasses for a few years. Then when I gained a little bit of popularity in middle school, I decided that glasses weren’t cool anymore. So, I stopped wearing them. As you can imagine, my vision was screwed. So now I need glasses.
2. Remember, I was a nerdy kid. I used to read everything… novels, dictionaries, encyclopedias, nutrition facts on the side of the cereal box. I was caught reading the phone book. (the yellow pages, not the boring white pages!) When I would get in trouble, my mom would take my books and send me outside to play! I kid you not! She would catch me sneaking books outside, under my shirt!
3. I love Sharpies. I rarely leave the house without one. Ask anyone who really knows me and they’ll tell you that I draw on everything I can. My wallet is covered with an original antgoo design. My iPod case is doodled on. I have a few pairs of shoes, some shirts, jeans and hats that got to know the business end of a permanent marker. If there’s nothing for me to draw on, I end up drawing on my skin.
4. I’ve never done a drug. I don’t know how wierd that is, but everyone else I know has at least smoked weed once or twice. I never have.
5. I used to have a birthmark on my ankle shaped like the state of Georgia, with a mole where Atlanta is… but it has faded as I’ve grown older.
6. I was born with blonde hair and blue eyes… is that wierd. My my mom though I was the wrong baby. The nurses at the hospital called me “the Golden Child.” For the one week in High School when I secretly wanted to be a rapper, that was my secret rap name. Don’t tell anyone.

Okay… I’m kinda getting freaked out by the number of obscenely ugly MySpace pages I come across. So, in typical intraweb fashion, I’m using my blog to complain.

MySpace pet peeves:

1. Children with display names like: sexyMama, hot thang, or lil’ freak nasty fuckbot. If you’re under 18, you don’t know what sexy is. You should, however, learn the meaning of the term “statutory.”
2. People with 7 songs, 2 music videos, a few games, a picture slide show and a live action cow on their page. I can understand one of these things, but it takes forever to fucking load with all this extra crap.
3. Ugly people with misleading display names. (i.e sexyMama, hot thang, or lil’ freak nasty fuckbot.) I understand that sometimes irony is funny, such as when you call a big dude “Tiny.” This however is just grossly false advertising.
4. Some people may not agree with me, but I dislike people with 325,956,432 friends. You CAN’T know that many people; and if you did, there’s no way you could keep track of all of them. When I add someone to my friends list, I intend to keep in some sort of contact with them. I at least want to get to know ‘em.
5. Spelling and grammatical errors. I make ‘em. You make ‘em. We all make them… so I understand this is a bit hypocritical. But learn to fucking spell. If you catch me spelling something wrong. Kick me in the balls and say,
   “Hey! Fix that shit!”

That’s all. I’m glad I got that out of my system. Now let’s all go enjoy MySpace.

Later days.

I’ve been in Augusta for six months now… I got here in November and as I write this it is April. Six months and I’m finally getting on my feet.

I have to admit that returning to Augusta after having lived in Atlanta for five years and vowing to never move back seemed a bit like a defeat. Lately, I’m seeing it as an opportunity. My new job rocks and I’m learning so much about my trade that I didn’t learn in school. I’m getting a load of cash put away to start my own business.

Now that I have a move in date on my new apartment, I’m feeling less trapped by this city. I’m planning some sort of a house warming for the new place. I don’t know many people in Augusta, as most of my old friends have moved away, so I don’t know how this is gonna work out.

More on this later.
