Drinking and Driving. Pointless Story or Entertainment?

The Post

A friend called me up last night, speech slurring and bubbles lightly floating out of his mouth. He was excited about what had happened to him just thirty minutes earlier.

Apparently he and his friends were joy riding while filthy drunk. They were stopped by a cop and, upon seeing that my friend was the drunk driver, asked my friend to get in the backseat. Then he turned to the passengers and asked, “I’ma need one of you boys to drive this baby home.”

I thought to myself, If the driver is drunk, the passengers are FUCKED UP as well.

I’m happy to say that my friend’s friend, Martyr ( real name protected so that real person doesn’t try and sue TD.GAD.AY for defamation of character) drove them all home safely… but not before almost running them into a pole (my friend’s exact words were, “He almost ran into a parked pole.” Now tell me if that sounds right), and running over an elderly woman who was jogging at midnight. WHAT ELDERLY WOMAN JOGS AT MIDNIGHT, AND IN THE INNER CITY?

Conclusion

If you’re going to drink and drive, make sure the designated driver only takes a sip. I’m a bad influence- make sure he doesn’t drink any. And if you all drink, make sure the driver is a good actor. He can pretend to be sober, and you guys could get away with it.

If Sploggers Can Make Money So Can We!

When I found out how drastic the situation is with Splogs, I completely flipped my wig (went crazy!)! The amount of money they're bringing in is insane. The sad part about it is they're ruining the blogosphere, yet what they are doing is not illegal. And they're cashing in(!) on simple techniques.

Splog= Spam + Blog


Sploggers put up sites that are mainly for advertising purposes. What they'll do is put up a site similar to Hotmail called www.homtail.com. Of course HOMTAIL is not the same as HOTMAIL. They do this because people often misspell the word and end up putting in HOMTAIL. This, of course, is a rather open and adult site, as the title explains that. I'm sure when writingup.com gets more popular, they'll be a splog online like: www.writinup.com. You notice what's missing? WRITINUP.COM instead of WRITINGUP.COM.

Three splogs made over $75,000.00 dollars between the months of August and October of 2005. These were just splogs! Can you image how much money is in the blogosphere? Well, if you've signed up for writingup.com, you have a clue. This proves that blogging can bring in nice money. And depending on how good your blog is, it can make you rich almost over night.

I've done some research and found out why and how these websites make so much money. They have link pages that are on their website. They link to websites that have over thousands of links which puts them higher in the search engines. They also fill their splogs with keywords and garbage. A site might say:

Seek a feather, mercury sites, banged upsite the nozzle. Make shift gun powder, hairy seeing glasses...

And this type of stuff will go on and on. The key is that they fill this crap with high paying keywords. A person will go to this website and click on the many ads they have around the content and KA-CHING! The owner is making money.

They're website titles are also filled with keywords. In the upper lefthand corner you'll see:

Money-marriage-cars-clothes-phones-dating-acting-blogs and birds

From this title they will receive high rank with Google because the title suggests they have lots of content and info for readers. In reality, they don't!

Now, of course Google, Yahoo and MSN are trying to fix this problem. They are making where computers can't put out spam blogs for people to go to. I mean, if lots of people keep going to websites that have no good content and are only used for revenue, they'll stop googling or whatever else they do to reach these websites. This will be bad for the search engines and they'll loose people's interest.

You can, however make this type of money if you have these three things:

1. Good Content/Lots of Content

2. High Paying Keywords

3. Sufficient Number of Links to Your Blog/Website

This information, while discouraging to the positive bloggers and blog readers, is a plus for people who wish to make money online. Doing it the right way can ensure constant readers, which mean more visitors, more clicks and

KA-CHING! More money. Happy blogging!

So Many Damn Rules When It Comes To Dating

What’s up with these dating rules? There are so many rules that come along with a damn date that it all becomes ridiculous. Remember when a date used to be fun? Of course, we’ve all had our share of bad dates. You met a guy who looks great, is tall, handsome, mature and focused… Well that’s how it appears, because this guy actually sells socks online and only makes about $5.00 a week. God forbid you live in an expensive city like New York. How the hell is this type of guy paying his rent?

Ladies, you’re not excluded. You’ll meet a guy and have on a $200 dollar purse, and less than $10 dollars to put inside of it, yet you’re screaming that a man has to make money and BLAH, BLAH, BLAH. In my experience, it’s a couple’s job- if the relationship ever gets to marriage- to work as a team. Some men still follow the barbaric, “I Work, You Clean” tradition, but that was when women didn’t have as many career choices as men did. Now that women are becoming more doctors, lawyers and POSSIBLE FUTURE PRESIDENTS, do you think I’ll spend $100 dollars on a meal each time I go out on a date and this woman is probably counting more Benjamin Franklins than I am?

Now don’t get me confused with a guy who wants to be supported by a woman. For the sake of romance, I’d pay for the first date, and maybe the second. But if thoughts pop up into our heads about having a relationship, I want her to pull out her pocket book. You want to know why? Because I need to start finding out if we’re financially compatible. If we fall on hard times, can we pull together as a team and work through it? But that’s going way further than the first date, isn’t it?

The truth of the matter is: there are rules that must be obeyed. But at the same time, you were asked to go out on a date because you are a human being, not a robot. And this is real life, not an exam- well I guess it is slightly an exam. But I’d hate for a female to give me an image of a perfect gal and it’s false. She’d tell me, a week later, “Oh, I really am a homicidal maniac. I just wanted to pass the first date exam.”
