Holy Zipper! It Failed!
Last night (Friday), I received a pleasant surprise just before the start of my movie: The zipper on my two-week old cargo shorts failed. I made a pit stop before the start of the movie and just as I finished, the zipper fell off.
It turns out that the zipper isn’t even metal, but plastic! Hey, I know I’m not an expensive dresser, but damn, a zipper made of plastic!? I’ll be returning this pair over the weekend for an exchange. It wasn’t much fun trying to cover my very open fly while walking home from the movies.
Track My Location In Real-Time!
I just added a new tool to my iPhone 3G: InstaMapper. What does it do? It’s a GPS tracker that will, at my discretion, provide real-time location updates from my phone. What does this mean? You can follow my whereabouts anywhere in America via the map below.
Why am I doing this? No one really cares about my whereabouts, however, I thought it would be an interesting addition to my ongoing ’social experiment’ of using different technologies to interact with the world. One great use I see for this new tool: My upcoming travel expeditions!
Where am I now? Find out …

Just Happend: Moving Truck Clips Traffic Pole
Just witnessed a moving truck (18 wheeler) smash a traffic light pole at the corner near my apartment. The screeching sound of colliding metal was almost unbearable!
The cause: The driver misjudged and turned too soon. In residential areas, wide right turns are essential to navigating an 80,000lb vehicle without incident.
Woman Cheats on Boyfriend (And Doesn’t Know Why)
This is one of those WTF?!??! posts.
When I read stories like the one below (and I do read them frequently, I might add), I’m left in awe over the denial of such selfish and inconsiderate acts. For a long time, I used to think that women couldn’t possibly be capable of cheating. Boy, was I wrong! After clubbing myself a few times over the head and waking up from my fantasy, I learned that women were just as capable of the same (if not more).
This woman explains on a forum that she’s cheated once again (yes, she’s cheated several times before) on her boyfriend and she isn’t sure why. To me, this reeks of someone who doesn’t want to be accountable for her lack of consideration for others.
It’s unfortunate that her boyfriend has stayed around this long, and having been in this situation myself, it’s not always easy to sever the emotional bond you’ve established with someone. However, he’ll need to eventually figure out for himself that he deserves more than the inconsideration and infidelity of his girlfriend.
Reading stuff like this reminds me of why it’s great to be a single man. I don’t have to concern myself with anyone’s integrity, trustworthiness, etc. I’m just better off without the majority of people that make up the dating scene, which is a big cesspool of desperate, attention-seeking and lonely souls.
I recently moved across the county with my boyfriend of 2 years. We have had issues with my cheating in the past, but I thought we could move past it. He had the ability to forgive the past and wanted to be with me forever. For some reason I just can’t let myself be loved and happy. I have cheated again and am moving back home to my family. We have made a perfect home together and I have thrown it all away. I hate myself for hurting him, yet I continued to do it. I am so lost. I know I need to leave him so he can move on and find true love, but I struggling getting out the door. What if neither of us can get past this. What if this damaged relationship we have is the best that we can do? I am supposed to be packing right now…but I am sitting here writing this instead. I need to leave, but I am so scared.
Tough shit, I say.
Late-Night Movie: ‘Pineapple Express’
Tonight, I’m going to see the Seth Rogen and James Franco comedy, ‘Pineapple Express’, at Midnight. From the trailers, it looks like a hilarious movie and Seth always seems to come through with an entertaining flick. I’m all about having a good laugh!
