Mrs. Beauty M. Perhols,

 

I missed seeing you tonight. I hope you had a good time at Laurel’s and that you are feeling better.  Arrow’s “brokeback mountain” viewing party and gay cowboy night was pretty fun.  He had his friend Mike from high school over and the three of us took shots of beer all through brokeback mountain whenever the special music played, Head Ledger repressed his man love, Sarah Glyenhaal (Arrow) wanted it in the butt, the wives cried or there was a man in a saddle.  We drank a full case of PBR during this game and then had some whiskey and went down to Kyla’s party.  The party really sucked and I just chilled by the snacks and waited for Arrower and Mike to be ready to go home.  I am sad I couldn’t see you tonight, but I guess you were pretty tipurple and still sick, so that’s okay.  I don’t know why you kept apologizing on the phone today for last night and this

Sadness

Tuesday, February 26th, 2008

me: thank you for the birthday wishes :)

9:15 PM Skywomanrose: happy birthday

  ( =

  I’m probably not the first

  but it would be cool to be the first

 me: you are the first

 Skywomanrose: yeah ( =

  I hope you have the most awesome birthday in the world!

  I wrote some decent blogs today.

 me: thank you :)

 Skywomanrose: you should read it when you get a chance

 me: i’ll go look

9:18 PM beautiful writing. want me to add you to my blogroll?

 Skywomanrose: sure

  i added more to my how to lose a guy blog

9:19 PM i’m so insightful

  it cracks me up in my cheese factor

9:20 PM me: let me go look silly

9:23 PM i looked at my stats

9:24 PM my blog received 35x as many visitors as the best day previously yesterday

 Skywomanrose: yeah well… think about it

  new information

  shocking

  sad

  provoking

9:25 PM it’s real

 me: yeah

  makes sense

 Skywomanrose: people respond to what is real

 me: true

9:29 PM do u think i should rewrite my blog on Fred and clean it up?

9:31 PM Skywomanrose: no

  just leave it

  people are going to it for comfort

9:32 PM but I would do something with it afterwards…

  not really sure what

  you should prob ask the family what they’d be comfortable with

 me: i did

 Skywomanrose: you’re not a news publication

  well

 me: they didn’t say anything

 Skywomanrose: then just respect whatever their wishes may be

  aw.

  i c

 me: good call

 Skywomanrose: well…

9:33 PM allow people to greive

  but don’t make your site focus on mourning him either

 me: how do you mean?

 Skywomanrose: the whole thing about death and dying, is to celebrate their life

9:34 PM me: right now my blog is #1 for his name

 Skywomanrose: He would not want people who cared about him to be miserable and dwel

 me: yeah

  i glaze way over the details

 Skywomanrose: so, since you are not a new publication, keep it on the human perspective…

 me: want to see what i wrote originally before i took it down?

 Skywomanrose: he lived is more important that he died

 me: ok

  yeah

 Skywomanrose: you know what i mean?

 me: yeah

9:35 PM you are smarter at this stuff than me

 Skywomanrose: he was so important to these other people..he made such a huge impact on the lives of others…

  i’ve dealt with this kind of thing before

  my dad

  my grandma

  soldiers

  i knew a kid in high school who hung himself

9:36 PM i have had a few family members die

 me: yeah… what do u think i should do different, anything?

 Skywomanrose: and i know my grandparents are not going to be around much longer

  right now…

  i don’t think you need to do anything

  make sure you ask first before posting info about a memorial

  they may not want the additional attention

9:37 PM me: ok

 Skywomanrose: they may need help raising money for burial, b/c he was so young

  you should ask

  he probably doesn’t have insurance

  life insurance

  you can offer to post directions as to where people can contribute to the burial costs (but not in those words)

9:38 PM me: i dont even know how to approach asking that

 Skywomanrose: it looks like you took on the role to provide info

 me: his family is pretty wealthy too

 Skywomanrose: well…..

 me: it might be insulting

 Skywomanrose: then you probably don’t need to then

  i assumed b/c he was young and just out of school

  that he didn’t have life insurance to cover such things

9:39 PM me: i’m sure he didnt

  but i think his family did well.

  how would i ask?

 Skywomanrose: you probably don’t need to.

9:40 PM you can always let them know, if they need any assistance getting information out, you are there.

  and leave the ball in their court

  that way you’re not pushy

 me: i sent his bro a text message letting them know i would add, change or delete anything they wished

 Skywomanrose: if they read your blog, they’ll see your intentions are good.

  then you are fine

9:45 PM me: thats true

  thanks :)

9:46 PM Skywomanrose: but I wouldn’t keep it at the top of your blog forever

  let console people and inform people for awhile

  but soon enough, like them, you gotta let it go.

9:47 PM me: how long?

9:48 PM Skywomanrose: don’t know

  that’s for you to decide

 me: i dont know

  till after the wake (next week)

9:49 PM that sound good?

9:50 PM Skywomanrose: i think so…

  maybe a week after the wake

  then back to normal

 me: ok

  brb, gonna mix up some comfort food

  made myself a monster mozza salad

   ;)

9:52 PM Skywomanrose: lol

  some comfort food

9:55 PM me: back

 Skywomanrose: i am not hungry at all

  my aunt made me eat

  booo

  but i didn’t eat much

  anyhow

  plus i was full from that crap you made me eat earlier

  my aunt thought i was fired when i got home

9:56 PM me: aww… what’d she say?

 Skywomanrose: i told her i didn’t think they’d fire me if I tried really hard to get fired

  b/c i showed up to April’s just a couple minutes after she showed up

  and i felt like i owed her an explanation

9:57 PM but she was fine with it

 me: yeah

 Skywomanrose: she wasn’t mad at all

 me: why should she be mad?

  what’d u tell her?

  she is family, i’m sure she’ll be supportive of you right now

9:59 PM how are you doing?

 Skywomanrose: i am fine

  i told her that you and i had decided not to date anymore

  and this time for sure

10:00 PM then i cried, and was like, ok fine he decided it

 me: oh Skywoman, you didn’t have to say that. i’m sorry :(

 Skywomanrose: and then i told her you were a retard and that I was the one who kept telling you we should stop and that you were finally aggreeing with me

10:01 PM and of course i told her it was the right thing to do, it was practical

  that we still care about each other alot

  and that we just had to go our separate ways

  blah blah you know

  so

 me: what’d she say? just listen?

 Skywomanrose: apparently my mouth can’t stop when i’m crying

10:02 PM oh she was nice about it of course

  saying of oourse i’ll be fine

  it happens

  blah

  very understanding

  while i was crying like a bafoon

 me: that’s good

  not that you were crying, but that she was nice and understanding

10:03 PM Skywomanrose: ah

  it’s fine

  get it out

  get over it

  move on

 me: you guys just talk about that?

10:04 PM i’m glad you had someone to comfort you

10:06 PM Skywomanrose: yeah

  it’s fine

  how are you

  better?

 me: i cried on my way home and felt terrible

 Skywomanrose: aw

  sorry

10:07 PM do you always cry you dork

 me: now i have my comfort salad though

  no

 Skywomanrose: ah

  sorry

 me: not before

  with tower it was different

  i messed up and she didn’t want to see me anymore

  i cried then

 Skywomanrose: lol

  dork

  so you did cry

 me: that was the only other time i have cried when someone and i broke up

10:08 PM Skywomanrose: i don’t always cry

  but..

  i suppose i’ve cried a bunch when i get hurt

  but then again

  i am chic

 me: it’s good to let your feelings out

  yeah

 Skywomanrose: and it’s expected of me

 me: i am the female of the relationship ;)

10:09 PM Skywomanrose: i think we were both the chics

  so we were lezzies

  though you are more butch

 me: haha

 Skywomanrose: i was the lipstick lez

  lol

 me: we are ridiculous :)

 Skywomanrose: i totally get off and men and women finding me attractiv

31 minutes

2:29 PM Flaker: I went yesterday. Stop sending me text messages you’re racking up my bill.

2:30 PM me: $.15

  you son of a gun

2:31 PM Flaker: dude you’re off the schedule, tuesday, thursday, saturday, it’s what we do.

 me: i just go when i have time

  if it is weds

  i’ll go

  we ate out yesterday

  supposed to be a day off

2:35 PM Flaker: I went in the afternoon cause I knew we were having dinner I plan ahead.

 me: i am going to work out tonight after work, you want to do something afterwards?

2:37 PM Flaker: I’m seeing Katie later.

 me: oh

2:39 PM Flaker: how was lunch with Skywoman?

 me: good

  talked to her

  i think i may be making the wrong decision

2:40 PM but

  i am sticking to it for now

  she is really funny and great

  but we just aren’t on the same life track at this point

  i think she wants a stronger commitment from someone

  and i dont want to move to the suburbs



50 minutes

3:31 PM Flaker: dude you remember last night when that one girl told me that I was wrong and the dry is not the opposite of sweet. Well wikipedia agrees with me. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wine_terms

3:32 PM And while wikipedia is of course not a perfect information source, but I’m gonna trust it over her because it validates my old belief.

 me: dude

  it says it is the opposite

  except for sparkling wines

3:33 PM Flaker: exactly

  thats what I said

 me: oh ok

  good job

  want a medal?

   ;)

3:34 PM Flaker: no I want that girl to call me up and go oh, I’m sorry I should keep my big mouth shut and not contradict people I don’t know especially when they are right.

  that’s all I ever really want.

 me: haha

  here i’ll do it for you:

  Flaker, you are always correct.

  always

  never ever wrong

  do you feel better now?

 Flaker: yeah it’s not satisfying when it comes from you.

3:35 PM me: lol

3:36 PM Skywoman just posted a blog

  i think it is related to me

3:40 PM Flaker: She titled her blog after a bad chick flick.

 me: that she did

3:41 PM its kind of amusing in a sad way though

  i wonder if i looked like this

  i was like this on monster roids

  Skywoman on roids

 Flaker: That makes you (matthew maconohey)sp.

 me: lol

3:43 PM not sure what i say in return if anything

3:44 PM Flaker: If you want to stay broken up, I’d say , say nothing.

 me: you are also a heartless man

  but i think that i wont say anything

3:46 PM although maybe it will be better to be there for her

  hmmm

3:49 PM Flaker: you’re going to end up back sort of together with her. I give it about 4 days.

3:50 PM me: i won’t do it unless she is okay with me having sex with other people at the same time as i am with her

  and she wont be

  so doubtful

 Flaker: of course by saying this I am giving you impetus to prove me wrong, but… we’ll see.

3:52 PM me: we’ll see how good faraway is tomorrow

  lol

  j/k

  i dont really want to date her and her damned dog

Talk about the Oil Crisis

Saturday, February 23rd, 2008

Things are alright, I’m taking a break from the computer, I really need to rest my wrist and shoulder before it gets any worse. So I’ve been catching up on all the marketing and investing books. Going through the 20 hours of SEO seminars I have on dvd.

 Iol, man, I think it’s a little late to call the guy now since it’s been like 2 weeks since we sent the proposal. Man, I fucking hate service/client work, maybe I should just focus on affiliate marketing.

Dude, I read about that story on your site, nice job leveraging someone’s death;X sick bastard.

 Nice, maybe Oil will fire Trickle and make you the director of search.  Did they find someone to replace me yet?

 Oilman is here and seems cool.  He doesn’t much like trickle.

Stupid records guy.  Try calling him.  Never surrender!!!!!!!!!

I put my people wiki aside for now.  Working on my blog- i got 35x more hits than i’ve ever gotten before and 100 comments when i wrote a post on this dude that died.  I am thinking about putting some shopping reviews pages on it too.

 Nick: no you did, but i didn’t make it to ivars until 345 so i wasn’t hunger at all

11:21 AM you have to come to happy hour at ivars or mccormicks one night, they have the best deals

 me: sweet

  what are they?

11:22 AM Nick: ivars, everything goes to 3 4 or 5 bucks, so you can get fish and crips for 5 or chowder and cornbread for 5

 me: inside the fine dining area or in the mass produced section?

11:27 AM Nick: wow fuck my the man just left the company

 me: !!!!!!!!!!!!

11:28 AM direct the man?

 Nick: yeah

 me: what now?

  u independent or what?

11:30 AM Nick: i dont’ fucking now, i have 6 months until iam supposed to be

 me: are u in the office alone?

 Nick: well no, my the man won’t leave for a month

11:31 AM but he just took the other job

 me: where?

 Nick: across the street working for the agents, as there in house guy

11:32 AM me: hmm

  do u think they will continue to pay ur salary, then set u loose?

 Nick: i have know idea what they are thinking

11:33 AM me: has he told the home office?

 Nick: yeah he just did

11:34 AM hmmm

 me: u should think about what u want out of them

  salary till the end of your contract, but you start working independently now?

11:35 AM Nick: well that could be nice, but i havn’t been able to work on my business plan and start marketing like your supposed to do in the last 3 months

11:37 AM maybe i can work from home sopporting another loan officer for a few months, and then role out of the program.

11:38 AM me: if i was you, i would send the ceo an email telling him you really like the company and have the loan stuff down pat and would like to take over your old the man’s position right now

  and since this is such a surprise, you would like him to continue your salary as you get started

  and ask to have his office

11:39 AM Nick: well my the man said he is not allowed to tell me, but they is a job for me at marcus

 me: really?

  send the current ceo that email and see what they’ll pay u at the other place

  what is marcus?

  a bank?

11:40 AM Nick: Marcus and Millicap they are the big real estate agent house

11:41 AM me: what would u do

  same thing?

11:42 AM Nick: glenn need support

 me: hmm, i wouldnt do it

  be ur own loan officer

  that’s why u got in this, right?

11:43 AM Nick: don’t worry i will figure it out, i want to finish out the program and let them make me a loan officer

  if they let me start now it will be hell, but i would still do it.

 me: definitely do that

  tell them u want the support though

  6 more months salary

  and the office

11:44 AM Nick: yah i don’t know

 me: shoot for it- worst they can do is say no

  and they will feel pressured to give u other stuff

11:45 AM Nick: The office is $1,600 a month so, i don’t know how they will feel about starting me early and paying ofr all the expenses

 me: be confident

  tell them what u told me

  u do all the work now anyways

11:46 AM Nick: well, they know that, they know i handle the work, but glenn brings in the business, he knows 15 years worth of clients

 me: hmm

  perhaps salary + work from home?

 Nick: i have to start off with almost no contacts and just start cold calling

11:47 AM I think it makes more sense for me to stay under BM umbrella

  if i got to marcus they won’t turn me into an officer because glenn will already be there and they are not really a bank

11:48 AM me: yeah, dont do that

 Nick: fuck, i am going ot have to adjust

11:49 AM i was sitting pretty easy, i was just going to ride this out until sept, now things get interesting

 me: be proactive

  talk to ur ceo asap

 Nick: yep

11:53 AM yeah i sent him an email

  i am heading down to lunch

11:54 AM me: later



28 minutes

12:22 PM Nick: hmm, interest maybe i can keep this office because they signed a new 2 year lease

  just last month

12:23 PM me: oo

Re: interview

Sorry I haven’t gotten back to you sooner, dude.

I actually don’t have an IM, as I am not the most computer-oriented of dudes. I could ask one of my roomates if they would be down for me to use their IM handle for the interview. How’s Sunday afternoon, preferably after 2?
