So, I was on craigslist's rant and rave section and they hit a nerve.
I'll go ahead an appologize to anyone in the three-rings community, but when the inevitable war breaks out between Evolites and Bibleenos, and you're on the Creation cause the world is 10k years old side.... I'm gonna have to put you down.
In either case, here is my attempt at avoiding the bloodshed, as posted on craigslist.
Isn't it obvious that God created Evolution? It is!?!? Alright! I WIN!
Someone below was right and I'm afraid that the Bible could be just like the telephone game in kindergarden. What the original message was is now scrambled, but not entirely.
The important parts of the Bible talk about how to make choices for the right in your life. The rest is just a story to illustrate the points.
The way I figure, what we KNOW now through science is still reconcilable with the bible's life advice.
Didn't God give us this magnificent brain so we could think outside the box and bring two seeminly unrelated topics together. Afterall, God set all the rules of physics for our universe, we're interpreting them now. He set the rules for evolution, we're just now discovering them. To think otherwise is to spit on God's face for the gift he gave us; the gift of reason.
Got kinda heated there at the very end. Enjoy your brains!

05/19: Tell your friends
On May 5th I started my first day of my new job. But you all know this because May 7th I made a post about the change.
I'm still here. During my first week I sold 1 car. Not so hot, but just fine for my first week ever. On my second week, I sold 4 cars. A 400% increase. If I continue this trend, I'll sell 100 cars a day in no time. But I need something first.
In order to make car sales, I need people to come in and buy them. And what do people need to do that? No, not money, that's what financing is for. What people need is incentive. And what better incentive than a friend of theirs telling them to go. But a friend of theirs needs incentive to tell their friend to come buy a car. Enter the referral program.
If your friend comes in and tells me that you sent them (include name and phone number, or address) and you get $50 cash (or check if I have to mail it to you).
Yea, I have a lot of time on my hands around here. The downside is that I have to spend that time here. If only I could make car sales from a remote location via some sort of interconnected series of wires. I don't think jobs like that exist though.

I guess I wasn't able to handle the bright lights of the bus driving glory so I've hung up my driving gloves and left the glamorous scene.
They wanted me to attend a 20 hour "TEA (texas education something something) certification." They sprung that on me after I thought I was finally done w/ training. So I said bollocks to that, and put in my one week notice. That was about two weeks ago.
I started my new job this last monday (the 5th).
My position title is "Bilingual Salesman." I'm the only Spanish speaking salesman at Eckert Hyundai. It's a good position to be in considering that if any spanish speaking customers come in, I'll get that deal.
Here's were you come in. How do I get Spanish speaking people to come in?
So far, I've been led to believe that my boss thinks I'll be good at the job cause he's ordered ads in the two periodicals that I looked up for him after a trip to Ester's Bakery in Denton. He put my name on the ads (my middle name since that one's actually in spanish) and my number. But I want them to come faster. How do I get that?
Since there has not previously been a spanish speaking associate here, I get the feeling that even fewer hispanics have made a habit of coming than the few that go to other dealerships. Although I was amazed at how many hispanics came in to best buy and bought up loads of stuff, so I know there are mexicans w/ money out there. You can't deny it.
Oh, also, if you are in the market for a car or know someone who is, then... well you know.
(btw, I checked and craigslist does not have a spanish language section outside of spanish speaking countries pages)

04/01: Classy people classin' it up
Laugh it up fuzzball:
Blotter:[James] reportedly punches, injures [Lexi] at a party
Blotter:[James] reportedly punches, injures [Lexi] at a party
Officer Bracht (Camci's brother in law) was the reporting officer on a "special call."
For anyone who hasn't caught it yet, Friksy Dingo is a loveable romp set in modern times about a billionaire playboy who's caught in the middle of a plot for world destruction.
Watch it and you will love being more confused than you've ever been and love every minute of it.
For those of us who did see it and grew to love it I have news. We had our hopes expertly dashed by those bastard writers who gave us this pleasure just to take it away when they weren't able to afford their Louis Roederer's Cristal sipped from Golden Chalets while flying across the world on their private Concord jets to one of their many island vacation mansions.
Where was I? oh yea, I have news. New episode. BAM!
New Episode Link
Also, I have my Coast Guard Officer interview. For those of you who didn't know, I'm in the process of applying for an officer postition with the Coast Guard.
Interview went well. I think the panel that ran it really got a good feeling about me after getting to spend some time with me. Hopefully I can make the selection committe in Washington think I'll be good for the job after only knowing me on paper. Of course the notes that the interviewers forward to them are going to be a big part of the selection.

It's about time to start thinking of voting on setting a committee to decide on voting on a date to schedule a date to schedule the three-rings party right?
Also, Analytic, this might tickle your fancy to see just how much money you would loose in the market.
Virtual Market
Only two of my portfolios are losing money, the other one has google and apple stock.

09/04: Andrew Keen is Nazi Scum
Stimply told me about this Andrew Keen guy, and he told me this guy was a fool, but damn, I had no idea how much of a jerk-f*%k he really is.
Apparently, blogs are the devil's work, but not when he does it.
He appeared on The Colbert Report and made a real ass of himself. Stephen made an ass of him too though.
His argument is basically that the internet is worse than the NAZIs. He's even got the British accent to prove he's an stiff elitist.

08/22: Dumb people do dumb things
I was with Stimply and Camci at Taco Cabana the other night when something very strange happened. The notoriously 24 hour chain restaurant was putting up its chairs to close the lobby for the night.
This came after a shocking message from my brother down in Austin that he and his friends showed up to Taco C late the other night to find it closed. Now I can't explain that;
But I asked the lady who was locking us out of the building while we sat out on the patio what was going on, how long had they been doing this attrocity, and most importantly why has this lamentable change taken place.
She was quick to make up a story (we could tell it was made up because it seemed exagerated and she seemed rushed to be done telling us about it) about how some guy got his throat slit just a couple of weeks back and they were the only TC open 24hour in the area (which is BS), but now they're not.
After playing Detective Google for a few minutes, I found out the less exagerated truth about the Denton area Taco Cabana.
Everyone can blame this deuche-bag for our woes.
Now, I know a thing or two about stupid assholes, after all I do live in this world, but putting some random guy in the hospital for guacamole on your Lexus SUV that he obviously didn't put there is pretty bad. Then again, don't you know who he is? He's the UNT athletics director's son, "ooooohhh, aaaaahhhh..." well then of course he's innocent...
YOU BE THE JUDGE!
In good news, I"m Hotter than Hell is comming up and I've already gone on like... 4 rides in the last 6 months. I"M Ready!

07/13: "But I see the bulls!"
This is just an update to let everyone know we"re still alive and that none of us got gorred by any bulls.
Kiki and I ran three times and Camci ran twice so that she could video film one of our runs.
I"ll give a full debriefing later, but the main points are:
We"re international superstars (we were in the paper under a sea of people and in funny pants)
Camci"s dad shows no fear
Kiki narrowly saved his face from a bull horn ripping it off
Ickis got flipped by a "baby" bull
"it"s scary"
