I’m so annoyed this morning that I have to dust off my 4-year old blog which I haven’t posted on in 2-years, to give you a word of caution.

I had a great idea for a website and I went to what was once my favorite domain research tool domize.com. The domain showed up as available, nice. I went to register the domain on my webhost, and it was available there too. After I went to complete the purchase the domain was, what? UNAVAILABLE?

Die-hard investors of the beleaguered bank are fighting hard to keep Washington Mutual out of the pockets of greedy short sellers.

Short sellers are notorious for artificially driving down stock prices of otherwise healthy companies — or at least companies that have a fighting chance to pull out of murky waters.

The downfall of financial firms including AIG, Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch, including the downward pressure on WaMu and Morgan Stanley are widely beleived to have been at the mercy of unscrupulous short sellers.

A large group of so-called “nudist colony nuns” — names withheld — have emptied out their collective coin jars to put together a compelling offer for WM.

Bolstered by the recent surge in Nude Tellers and accompanying lines of customers aching to put their money where the nudists are, the Nuns released in a statement this afternoon –”We think their brand is moving in a direction that is consistent with the ideals that are at the very heart and soul of nudism. By EOD tomorrow we hope to have not only refitted all WaMu ATMs with a new pro-nude logo, but to also have equipped all WaMu branches with an army of Nude tellers to encourage increased deposits. ”

So I did absolutely nothing productive this weekend except go out and get drunk — oh and play Guitar Hero 3! I really needed a break though; last week at work was killer — I was so stressed out. (boo hoo)

My calling plan on Sprint is getting pricey (averaging over $100 last couple of months) for all the additional minutes of calls I’ve been making. This seems like a bad deal, especially when MetroPCS has unlimited plans starting at $30 — it’s time to give MetroPCS a spin.

If you recall, a few months ago I was having an oh-so-awesome time trying to keep my old pad but after a failed attempt to convince the lords of the land not to extract more gold from my satchel, that exposé quickly digressed into me trying to find a new home in a hurry. I hunted all throughout the peninsula, (because the east bay is too ghetto even for me), and because I needed to find a place closer to my job. After two weeks of stalking renters on Craigslist, doing the whole song and dance of “I’m an excellent tenant” I found what I thought was the perfect place, but boy was I mistaken.

In ancient Rome, men and women who had been liberated from slavery wore a red “liberty” cap as a sign of their newfound rights as citizens of Rome. Over the centuries the memory of the red cap became a powerful symbol of freedom and equality for all people; it inspired revolution after revolution as free-thinking people united to adorn their hearts with this red hat and proclaim tyranny and oppression an enemy to all. These people gave their lives for the many freedoms we take for granted, and despite all their best efforts can we the sons and daughters of liberty truly consider ourselves free? I don’ think so.
