Werty

I have not updated this site in a very very very long time. I have been very busy of the last few years rehabbing an old storefront into a house and building a business.

This about sums it up: My prized werty.net coaster stuck to my glass the other day and fell and shattered. How sad. That is similar to this site.

Since the first month of the new year is coming to an end I guess I should wish everyone a happy new year, that and check one of the second checkbox on my blogging checklist on my New Years Resolution.

I have not update this in a while, and there are quite a few reasons for it, but here is a quick update for anyone who cares.

So I turned 30 the other day (I have an August 19th Birthday)and this blog turned roughly 6 years old. Thanks to the peeps who took me out to dinner!

Ever since I moved back to the city I have crazy busy. I have been working some long days…like 10am until 1:30am… last week I went a bit crazy and was up until 5 am 2-3 nights brainstorming some new ideas, as well as re-addressing some old ones. One night I laid out plans for 6 sites, including logo ideas, slogans, and community features.

Today I turned 29. It was the same as 28 but with a wicked hangover.

I went out last night to a Lithuanian Restaurant, had amazing food and tons to drink. Then played some darts and was hoisted in my chair 29 times. Today I felt the pain of last nights events, and swore off drinking for at least 24 hours.

They have a sense of humor…

I was forgot I scanned this awesome picture the other day. It is from the anti static bag they put a laptop in (you can see my laptop in the background). It shows some helpless little cartoon character who had enough of the living world, and is deciding to enter the dying world. The little shit puts a bag over his head, and chokes himself with his hand.

I decided to celebrate steak and blowjob day a few weeks late this year, and I celebrated it myself…

Things have been crazy for me. Work is going well and I have been really busy, which is good.

Some big news has happened for some friends of mine. A few nights ago my son Sami and his gf Maria had a sweet baby boy. They have yet to name him, which is a common thing in Finland (so they say??). Little Werty is quite cute. I am convinced if if keep calling him that it may stick.

In the last 12 months I have ordered 5 computers from Dell, 3 laptops and 2 desktops. I did all of this ordering through their small business department and have been treated like a king with each order. Not only have they treated me great when I am ordering their customer support has been superb as well. Here is a breakdown of some of the orders:

Yeah I know I bitch a lot, but I do not care. This little rant is about why I think FedEx sucks…

So as you may have read I was in Canada for about 5 days and I was expecting a new computer to arrive. Dell built it too fast! Anyhow it was sent via FedEx and I made arrangements so that they would not leave it on my porch while I was gone.

Last week / weekend I was up in Canada visiting some old friends that I have not seen for a long while. It was one certain dudes birthday, and I got to see one of my favorite Goldschlager guzzlers. This trip was pretty awesome. I got to see Rae spend money like some sort of high roller, got to visit people and got to get my drink on.

I was interviewed by Michael Gray aka GrayWolf the other day for his series on local search.

I am actually not to experienced with pushing a tiny brick and mortar via PPC, but will gain more experience with it in the next month or so when I have to promote my dads sweet site (built by me!!) Naper Valley Masonry – Naperville Masonry. That will be an interesting experiment.

I woke up this morning (or early afternoon if you want to be technical) and decided to make coffee. I usually drink some Earl (of) Grey Tea and brew it kind of dark, and that gives me a nice amount of pick me up. Today I opted for coffee which I rarely drink and I almost jump kicked through the ceiling. What a difference that makes.

I got a kick out of this email. I signed up for health insurance when I moved back to the wonderful US of A 6 months ago. Oddly enough I have never been to the doctor or anything along those lines since I returned, so I was thinking it would be something about how to actually get what you are paying for out of the shitty insurance that I bought…to my suprise is it was an email trying to upsell me on 2 services that I could purchase through eHealthInsurance.com and actually had nothing to do with my BlueCross BlueShield policy I signed up with. Sneaky little pricks.

The Meat Coma.

I guess I coined the phrase meat coma on 8.26.06 at 11:07am (Chicago standard time)

The meat coma can be defined as the tired state a person is put in when they consume too much meat.

Usage: Wow those three steaks were delicious, but I think I am slipping into a meat coma.

In Paris, Aaron and I went to this giant rock festival called Rock en Seine, which was held in a suburb of Paris accessible by the subway, or by a taxi. It was miles outside of the downtown area and would be holding a large outdoor music festival with probably 40-50,000 ticket holders. It seems like both the planners and the city of Paris did a shit job preparing for this huge musical event. Here are some examples of why Paris needs to remove their head from their ass if they plan to have a successful outdoor music festival again:

Aaron: I need links, desperately

I feel warn down after a week of traveling. camping, consulting, and being pampered. I feel physically and mentally tired but I feel like I have seen and lived more in this last week then in the previous 20 odd years of my life. I learned a lot about myself and I think a lot about others, or at least the way I do, or should interact with them. I had lots of time to reflect on myself and the situations I wind up in, found happiness, loneliness, sadness, and fulfillment all in the same week.

I plan to play around with this for a while and see where everything goes. I will have to re-organize all of my old post, and give them new titles and categories, but it should be awesome. I will also be experiementing with various types of plug-ins and tagging that is available. Either way this is a good move and I am looking forward to see where this thing goes.

This site is pretty cool, I learned about it on threadwatch.org.

By 20 second summary. It lets you create lists of things you would like to do and talk to other peoples or read feedback on people who think it was worth doing. It is kind of cool from a motivational standpoint… I dunno either way they are worthy of a werty.net link.

This is just a reminder to myself of the name of something. I talked to my Mom today for a little bit and she told me that she was at the eye doctor and was diagnosed with macular degeneration. It is some sort of eye problem that leads to distorted vision, then blurred vision, then partial blindness it seems like… I am pretty worried about this, and I am uncertain how far along she is with it… hopefully it is the early stages and it can be stopped with proper combination of vitamins…

It has to have been a few months, but my grandpa was put into a nursing home. His legs would go out on him and he would hit the ground. Not Good. Well he has been going through therapy, gotten used to a wheel chair, things like that and is doing a bit better. There is a rumor that he will be able to come home in a few weeks. Now normally i should be happy about this, but I think it is really bad. Him and my grandma live in a standard chicago style bungaloo, if you do not know the style, there are stairs that lead to the main florr, and stairs that lead to the basement. The doors are small and it will be hard for a wheel chair to manuver around…not good. I guess it would make sense if my grandma was ripped like little richard sandrak, but she is not. So I do not know how they are going to handle all of the problems of getting him in and out of the chair, up and down the stairs, etc. etc. etc.

I wanted to test out to see if any of the pixels were burned out and I used the following site:Dead Pixels Test. All is good.

I have been busy with work.
I am trying to start getting a social life again.
I want to start working out at least 3 times weekly. I gained like 5 lbs in 2 weeks…and it was not good weight.
I have had a small headache for a few days.
I am going to be getting a good size tax refund this year…now I will have money for crank and whores…
I am thinking of buying property…like a condo or 2 flat… It is kind of scary, but kind of smart at the same time…rent is a waste…the only downside to buying a place would be living there for X length of time.
I might just save a pile of money and invest it in something stupid…maybe nanotechnology (joke…nanotech is actually the future)
fantasy-sports.com is for sale
werty dot net is now a PR5, kinda funny considering it is a piece and I do very little to optimize it
A while back I posted a spammy posting to a girls site who was selling a horse trailer…it ended up ranking high for all illinois trailer searches and sold…someone made 10g’s from it…it was not me, but cool either way.
I will change this layout of this site at some point…if I can get help with the CSS conversion.
I fall in love twice a day
Chai tea is the drink of the gods
I cut back on my drinking
Chicken and waffles is a great meal
I am going to toronto in like a month, and cannot wait…I am craving a break
I have a little bit of saving now and want to blow it on electronics…
I might be getting a free green tinted TV this week from a co-worker.
HellBoy the movie is TERRIBLE
City west theatre is ghetto on tuesdays.
I am ghetto on the weekend.
Anthony logistics hand/body lotion smells damn good
Vitamins will one day rule the world
B12/B6 in turbo doses=healthy mind
It is fun to be a jerk
I hate the blue line
Mornings are for chumps
Reading is good
People are not
I need to start painting/photo/sculpture again.
Hot dates rule
There are 2 types of massages…
Corn Syrup will be the death of us
I won a free song from Itunes
Social Networking is stupid
show me your tits
It is good to have friends
Carbon Monoxide, the silent killer
Things should be cheaper, and we should be paid more
I will never be able to afford a good view
Summer is just around the corner
I need to have a yard sale
I cannot wait to BBQ
I can out shoot 90% of the population(photography)
Based on my experience, blondes can have fun
The glass is rarely empty
My plate is always full

blythe dolls

these things look amazing…i guess there is a group of people who make their own clothes for them and take photographs of them in strange locations…

It was a doll that came out in the 70’s and is now made again, and is getting quite popular. Hopefully someone from can clue me in to why they are popular and what people actually do with them?

So uh… I was down in Florida at Pub con in Orlando and it turns out that I actually got in a little bit of trouble with the law… apparently it is illegal to wrestle with an aligator. Well it finally caught up to me and I now need to find a Florida criminal lawyer…kind of crappy since I am a broke ass. I found a guy who seems to do a good job, but he may be way out of my leaugue as far as Criminal Attorneys go… eeeeek I dunno.

I normally hate these things, but I thought this one was pretty good:

The following is an actual question given on a University of Washington
chemistry mid term. The answer by one student was “so profound” that the
professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of
course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well.

This is a pretty interesting story from my message board. here is the original thread:
Attention dog owners

Well it starts like this: “My dog really really stinks. I give him baths about every two weeks and the stench doesn’t come from his body fur. The stench mostly comes after he’s been itching his face. Do you think that he just has bad allergies and his face gets stinky with snot? Or what else?

Not long ago and far away, Santa was getting ready for his annual trip…but there were problems everywhere.
Four of his elves got sick, and the trainee elves didn’t produce the toys as fast as the regular ones, so Santa was beginning to feel the pressure of being behind schedule.
Then Mrs. Claus told Santa that her Mom was coming to visit. This stressed Santa even more.
When he went to harness the reindeer, he found that three of them were about to give birth and two had jumped the fence and were out…heaven knows where to. More Stress!
Then when he began to load the sleigh, one of the boards cracked and the toy bag fell to the ground and scattered the toys.
Totally frustrated, Santa went into the house for a cup of coffee and a shot of whiskey. When he went to the cupboard, he found the elves had hid the liquor and there was nothing to drink.
In his frustration, he dropped the coffee pot and it broke into hundreds of little pieces all over the kitchen floor. He went to get the broom and found that mice had eaten the straw it was made from. Just then the doorbell rang and Santa cussed on his way to the door. He opened the door and there was a little angel with a great big Christmas tree.The angel said: “Where would you like me to put this tree fat man?”
