The diseased states
As I sit here at my computer at home, I think about the many things plaguing the country. (pause) Now that I'm done with that I'll think about something worthwhile to write about. It has come to my attention that Florida has become what I'd like to call a "diseased state".
A diseased state is a state where society is poisoned by the amount of crappy things that happen there. Unfortunately this last year has not been too good for Florida. With wave after wave of crazy things happening there it's no surprise that the state is becoming crippled.
First was the hurricane craze, where hurricanes just seemed to want to line up and smash the crap out of Florida. We also had people seeing the Virgin Mary in a sandwich that ended up selling on eBay for almost $30,000. You can see, a whole lot of weird stuff is going on.
Now add the Terri Schiavo incident and the woes of Florida go way up. Republicans who don't like the government were asking for the government to intervene? Isn't that one of the signs of the Apocalypse? She finally passed away. After almost two weeks I was beginning to think she was immortal. That left the state open for its next big thing.
This turned out to be pedophilic murderers. So now people in Florida have to worry about the growing trend of sex offenders trying to kill their children. It's sad really.
This disease is apparently contagious. Now it looks as though Georgia is following in its footsteps. Two children mysteriously die and now a woman is missing after she was apparently jogging. I'm living in Utah and we've seen that before. Hey guys in Georgia, check to see if her fiance purchased a new mattress recently.
It seems that every state becomes diseased every once in a while and weird things happen there. California is one(though I think they could have a chronic illness) Texas occasionally. Every state seems to have its time.
So hopefully the disease can be contained in Florida and Georgia and it doesn't start filtrating down into the other states.

Nothing much
Well, I posted some more photos over at O Foto Blog. Other than that I haven't really had much to post about lately. Perhaps it is because I am very lazy and would rather pass my time watching TV, than writing things that hardly anyone will read.

Episode of Retardedness II
Oh man, I thought I was smart. I really thought that I would have a great haven't-done-anything-stupid-in-a-while streak going. That ended today when I received a very convincing email, from someone claiming to be from PayPal.
Apparently there were some things that I needed to verify with them. I was initially suspicious about the email so I hesitated. Note: Your initial reaction is probably the right one. I checked and double checked to make sure everything looked legit. I've seen scam emails before and this actually was the best scam email I've ever seen.
I ended up giving them the info they needed, and, needless to say, I'll be getting a new debit card from my bank in a couple of days. I really felt retarded when I found out it was a scam though. (Speaking of which I should double check my bank account) I was able to take care of everything in time, so I shouldn't have anything to worry about. This is definitely the most retarded thing I've probably ever done online.

Online Video Rentals
Well, I've finally succumbed to the temptation of getting DVD's in the mail. There are really only two big options when it comes to this: Blockbuster and Netflix. After some consideration I decided to go with Blockbuster and here's why:
So we'll see how it goes. I get my first three DVDs on Saturday.
1. Price: Netflix is $17.99/month, Blockbuster $14.99/monthThose reasons were enough to make me choose Blockbuster. Supposedly, Netflix has more titles, but when you get up into the realm of tens of thousands I don't think it really matters that much.
2. Name: I think Blockbuster will be around a little longer than Netflix will.
3. Coupons: Blockbuster includes two coupons for free in-store movie or game rentals each month. Since Netflix doesn't have regular stores, they can't offer that.
So we'll see how it goes. I get my first three DVDs on Saturday.

New Project
So my new project is up. It's called Caption Comics and it basically works like this: I go online and get a series of photos. Then, I figure out a way to tie them together in a story. The result is absolute hilarity. Check out my comics and tell me what you think. I'll try to do one a week for now.
