Business Tracking and Conversations Website

I recently have been reading some of the blog entries done on JoelX.com and I have found myself quite enamored by his talented writing.  Some of my favorite posts are discussed in this paragraph.  Alcoholics Anonymous Groups and Alcohol Calculator is a post in which Joel discusses the ramifications of alcoholism and some of the problematic issues that can arise when alcohol is used to solve ones’ problems.  Joel Gross also ends up going in depth on the issues of Abstinence only education and why teaching school children in public schools that abstinence is the only way to have safe sex.

I also found after much reading that his post on funny wedding photos and pictures really tickled my funny bones.

Joel Gross does not only talk about “soft” things that are funny or amusing in some way.  He did an excellent post on What is Human? that completely blew me away with the depth of though that went into it.  I am not sure how to define what is human and what is not.  Are you?

Joel also digs into politics with his post on Jon Stewart and Barack Obama’s speeches.   The videos attached to this post are quite thought provoking.

Joel digs into a sensitive and humorous issue when he does a complex discussion of Short Man Syndrome in this post.  I found it to be highly entertaining to read.

stankbrooks: hey Planer, i have a random link development/seo question for you

 me: sure

  whatsup?

 stankbrooks: i think i found my answer, should have googled! haha

4:45 PM if a bunch of people hotlinking an image, does that give you seo juice

 me: if they link from an image or to an image?

 stankbrooks: as in, say i

  and a bunch of people post the image everywhere

  but don’t link to me

  they just post the image, the SE spiders cross that image and do they make note of the image url and give me some juice?

4:46 PM me: it depends

 stankbrooks: i googled, it and found this

  http://blog.searchenginewatch.com/blog/070711-172426

 me: did they just steal your image?

4:47 PM if they use the hotlink yes

  if they copy/save your image

  your out of luck

 stankbrooks: ok, just curious, i think they stole the image

  just wondering

  nice

  cool cool

  could be a great viral idea

4:48 PM me: yeah, but usually people just steal images

  i always do

  i never hotlink back

  and most people don’t

  a hotlinked image can be taken down

  and you’ve lost your pic

4:49 PM stankbrooks: true

4:52 PM thanks man

  take it easy

4:53 PM me: you too

  any plans for the weekend?

 stankbrooks: jeremy and i are going out with the usual ladies tonight, have to prepare a talk i’m giving at ucla, then possibly get stupid tomorrow night with jeremy and others again (sans the usual ladies, aka my girlfriend and her friends)

4:54 PM me: what is your talk going to be on?

4:55 PM stankbrooks: how we started out company, our struggles, what we learned, some of our work, how not to get sued, etc.

 me: cool

 me: jeez

12:36 PM no one will pick fights with you

  lol

 Moham: I know….the funny thing is that he’s the nicest dude as well. wouldnt hurt a fly

12:37 PM although I remember this one night this one bouncer was really pissing him off. He kept fucking with him and he then lost it. It took four of us to restrain him.

 me: geez

  why would a bouncer fuck with him?

12:38 PM Moham: the bouncer kept telling him he couldnt go in the club….he was giving him bs reasons and Tim was trying to aks him why he wouldnt let him go in. The bouncer just said because he didnt feel like it basically a

12:39 PM he told Tim to fucking leave and shit and Tim just suddenly lost it

 me: oh god

  lol

  bet the bouncer was scared

12:40 PM Moham: oh dude the bouncer was shitting in his pants. He called for 4 more bouncers to come and he went inside the building himself

  I was laughing so hard

 me: haha

me: dude

just ended it with Skywoman

10:11 AM i started feeling really guilty about being selfish

and just using her for my own purposes when i know i won’t marry her

and even though she said it was okay and that we could just enjoy what we have now, i think that she hoped for more

10:12 AM so i started talking to her about all that stuff

and told her we should just be friends

and basically ended it online

and now i feel like crying at work lol

i am a giant girl

Flaker: I think you did the right thing.

10:14 AM me: hmm

maybe i should just marry her

and move to auburn

and commute to work

and take care of a kid

i am an idiot

occasioanlly

10:15 AM hmmm

i suppose what i did is for the best

especially since i am going to see other people

although, it would have been much easier to keep going and wiat for her to end it with me

10:19 AM Flaker: Our little guy is growing up. I’m so proud of you…

10:33 AM Flaker: wait, you totally did this to get out of doing anything for valentines day didn’t you?

10:34 AM me: oh god

haha

no

10:35 AM Flaker: I think this is like one of those cartman Tronents, when you appear to be doing a good thing, but in reality only because it serves some petty personal interest.

;

10:36 AM me: dude i am not like cartman at all

so screw you, i’m going home!

Flaker: hahaha

10:47 AM Flaker: looks like I’m going sailing with Sandy this weekend.

10:48 AM me: yeah i just got the message too

looks like the ol’ boy might be coming ’round

Skywoman is messaging me

10:49 AM saying a lot of things

that make me feel bad

10:50 AM Flaker: stay strong

11:09 AM me: going to lunch with Skywoman, be back later

Flaker: And he said let there be sex. And there was, and he saw that it was good.

10:42 AM me: hahahahhaa

  congratulations

  your ego feel better now?

10:43 AM Flaker: That and my swollen testicles.

10:44 AM me: haha

10:45 AM so it was good? all that was dreamed of?

  or was it 17 seconds of joy?

10:48 AM Flaker: It was good, the first time is always a bit awkward in my experience, and having not had sex in two months I didn’t last quite as long as usual, but it wasn’t embarrassingly short. 25-30 seconds at least

10:49 AM me: lol

10:50 AM Flaker: It was a little strange though I’d gotten used to Rachel who I would generally have to smother with a pillow to avoid hearing damage. Katie was really quiet.

 me: yeah its going to be weird not having sex with noisy Skywoman anymore

me: about to head out for a wild night of sushi and booze

  gonna be fucking awesome

 Harm-Stop: sweet

  I like your style

  who are your co conspirators?

4:56 PM I will judge the roster

 me: fletch, ben, kyla, stranger (death), nick fitzer

  a bunch of maybes

 Harm-Stop: ha

 me: ian will join up at 11

 Harm-Stop: I love it

 me: arjun at 9

 Harm-Stop: that’s a solid lineup

 me: faraway

 Harm-Stop: yes

 me: sandy later tonight

 Harm-Stop: sandy?

  nice

  did you arrange that?

4:57 PM me: yeah

  gave him an invite

  he’ll be getting back in from dallas later

4:58 PM Harm-Stop: I whole heartedly approve of your night

  no party slackers

  all solid people by themselves,

  you put them together in a group and you have fireworks

4:59 PM woot woot!

 me: haha

  i’m definitely looking forward to it

5:03 PM Harm-Stop: ok so something about sandy

5:04 PM you have to accept him how he is, and work around him if you want to be his friend

  because he’s not good at being a friend

  but it is worth it to have his thoughts in your life

5:05 PM or that was my assessment

5:07 PM me: i’ve come to the same conclusion

5:08 PM u get my email about him and faraway and that night we had?

 Harm-Stop: yeah

  this is my response

  he actually kinda dicked me a few times with the apartment

5:09 PM I figured $150 I was willing to pay to be friends

  but, ultimately he could never be a great friend

5:11 PM me: yeah thats my feeling

 Harm-Stop: kind of disappointing

me: yo, u coming?

4:52 PM Flaker: yeah I’m supposed to meet up with Ben here in a bit and then we’re gonna bus it down.

4:53 PM me: alright

  death will be there

  u can fuck her

  i give her to you

4:54 PM Flaker: No thanks

  really. No thanks, none at all

 me: lol

  you’ll thank me later

4:55 PM Flaker: man I was blitzed drunk and with no prospects the first time I met her and I still didn’t do it, why would I go for it now that I’m sober and have a source of sex. A source that’s a lot better looking than her at that.

4:56 PM me: dude

  because you have an irresistible need to spread your seed

  and go get on a damned bus

4:57 PM the thing starts at 530

 Flaker: Ben hasn’t showed yet, relax. What’s it matter if I’m 10 minutes late?

  chat with death

 me: u wont be able to defuse the bomb

4:58 PM Flaker: well then maybe I’ll just show an hour late and avoid the carnage.

 me: i’ll hold onto the hand grenade till you get there

  then ram it an inch up your ass for every minute you are late

 Flaker: So you’re telling me I should go to the party with Katie tonight instead?

4:59 PM me: whote

  whore

  i cant speak to u

5:02 PM u r still there

  im gonna kill u

 Flaker: dude the next bus doesn’t even come for 10 minutes chill.

5:03 PM I just got a call from ben he’s said he’s about 10-15 minutes out.

5:04 PM I told you 530 was early anyway.

5:09 PM me: its gonna take 35 mins to get down

 Flaker: it’s quicker with the bus tunnels now, but we’ll be there quick as we can.

5:10 PM I thought you had some coworkers coming?

5:11 PM me: nick is here

  we’re walking down in a min

5:12 PM Flaker: all right, I’ll see you in a little while then.

5:13 PM me: k

Flaker: You speak to our man flynn?

3:41 PM me: no

  you want to try him?

3:42 PM Flaker: I’m in class

3:56 PM me: hmmm

4:49 PM me: fuck

  http://www.lakeoswegoreview.com/news/story.php?story_id=120277611937565000

  they mention me by name and use quotes from my blog

  fuck

4:51 PM Flaker: What precisely did you think was going to happen?

  I don’t see what’s so bad about what they printed though

4:52 PM They said you said he was a nice guy. Big deal. They don’t say the blog was yours.

4:53 PM At most this’ll just piss off Fred’s closer friends cause they’ll be thinking “Why the hell are they quoting this guy that hasn’t been around for years?”

4:54 PM me: yeah

  that’s what i was thinking

4:55 PM Flaker: Fortunately the Lake Oswego review ain’t exactly the NYtimes, but you should be aware that journalists will use anything they can to tell a story, so be careful what you are putting on your blog.

4:56 PM me: yeah

5:13 PM me: u talked to ian yet?

5:14 PM Flaker: in class till 6

  you?

5:15 PM me: at work

  shall we just lift?

 Flaker: we should at least talk to him, I’ll call when I get out, how late are you working tonight?

5:16 PM me: dunno

  just working on my blog

 Flaker: then give him a call

5:18 PM me: ok

5:25 PM me: just talked to ian

  he’s taking Di out for valentines day tonight

  and says we can either do it late in the week or next week

  i told him you and I and lucas would maybe just do something tonight or tomorrow night

  what do you think?

5:27 PM Flaker: I don’t want to blow a bunch of cash cause I’m taking Katie out later in the week, so maybe we should just give this week a miss.

5:28 PM Want to just lift instead?

5:29 PM me: sure

 Flaker: Right, well I’m out at 6 so you can pick me up anytime after that.

5:30 PM me: ok

me: hey

  how are you?

11:26 AM donutsb: hey!

11:35 AM donutsb: that would be great! i’m getting home a week or so later than i originally planned

11:36 AM me: hanging out an extra week or going on a trip?

11:38 AM grand canyon

  arizona

  i’m not sure of the exact itinerary

  santa fe

  the idea of seeing the grand canyon convinced me

  i wasn’t going to go originally because i thought i would need to do comps reading

 me: wow

11:39 AM donutsb: but i’ll just have to be disciplined about it and get a lot done before break

  and during the week i’m home

 me: yeah

  that sounds like a trip you definitely wouldn’t want to miss out on

11:40 AM which of your friends are you going with?

11:48 AM me: hmm

  you’ll have to tell me about it after you watch it

12:01 PM donutsb: how’s work?

 me: tiring

  i’m about to eat lunch

 Flaker: It’s 530 dude.

5:36 PM I’m at a cafe, gonna do homework for a few hours till I go to rachel’s dinner

5:37 PM How was the VD with Faraway?

 me: i ripped her open on accident

5:38 PM Flaker: hahaha

  didn’t even call me to dispose of the corpse?

  you’re not keeping it around are you? Using it until it starts to smell.

5:41 PM me: i cant call u for corpse disposal

  u won’t assist me

  u said

  lol

5:42 PM Flaker: I might help you get rid of people I don’t like, but I’m glad you’ve taken that to heart.

 me: no

  while we were having sex

  towards the end

  she started complaining about her vagina really hurting

  she was making sob/moan noises

5:43 PM kind of kinky

  and she wanted me to finish

  so i did

  and apparently i must’ve torn something a little

  oh wow

  just got an email from her

5:44 PM she said, “I think I had an amazing orgasm, (but can’t be quite sure …too drunk and tired to remember the details)”

  pain does it for her apparently

  lol

  i like that

  good quality to have in a woman

 Flaker: of course you do.

5:45 PM me: funeral was interesting

  so many guys there i haven’t seen in 3 or 4 years

  everybody was better dressed than i was and i was wearing my nicest slacks and shirt

  i was impressed

  i was surprised so many people came

5:46 PM it being the day after valentines and during work hours

  but it was standing room only

  5-600 people

  most of them between21-30

 Flaker: wow, fred had a lot of friends.

 me: yeah

5:47 PM afterwards, a bunch of people went to jillians to catch up and talk

  like 50 guys from the frat i hadn’t seen in a while

  most of them seemed to be very successful

5:48 PM 3 or 4 in law school, couple getting their CPA’s, 2 investment bankers, 3 financial advisors and a bunch of other assorted business people

  a bunch of girls from our sister sorority were there too who were freds friends

  fred apparently was quite the dirtball lol

5:49 PM he a g/f in seattle

  a g/f in oregon

  and other girls on teh side

 Flaker: hahaha, all that come out at the funeral I hope?

 me: no no

  there was a big disconnect between teh people he grew up with

  and the image his parents and family and pastors had of him

5:50 PM i dont think they realized the party animal he was

  it was at an african church

  i liked the preacher

  best public speaker i’ve heard

  his sermon was good,

  and i hate sermons

  lol

5:51 PM Flaker: Did he throw something in there about killing the jews responsible for Fred’s death? Cause that’s how I’d go about winning you over.

 me: haha

  nope

  too long to type

  but i could tell u later

5:52 PM Flaker: cool

  You have plans for tonight?

 me: either go hang out with faraway or go meet all those guys at the duchess at 10

  what are you doing post-dinner?

5:54 PM Flaker: don’t know for sure, dinner is starting pretty late, like 8 so depending on how big a crowd that is I might make it my night, if not Katie and a couple of the other hippy kids were planning on drinking a bunch of wine, might go do that.

5:59 PM Oh dude, by the way, last night after taking Katie and having some sex I had a talk with her, and it couldn’t really have gone better. Basically she said she isn’t looking for anything, doesn’t want a relationship or anything like that, but wants to continue fooling around.

  So I basically have a Fuck-buddy

 me: haha

  congratulations

  is she fucking anyone else/

6:00 PM Flaker: I was stoked, it takes care of all my not wanting to date her issues while still providing me with sex. No, I asked her about that, and she says is going out with other people, and I told her that was fine as long as she told me if she had sex with someone else, before having sex with me again.

  for preventative purposes.

 me: would u still fuck her if she starts fucking someone else?

6:01 PM would u still fuck her if she starts fucking someone else?

 Flaker: nope, she might trust em, but I don’t.

 me: why not

  she has fucked other people before u

  and you dont question them

  right?

6:02 PM Flaker: yes, but unlike you she has been tested since then

 me: ahhaha

  have u asked to see the tests?

 Flaker: hahaha

me: check out the email i just sent u

  tell me what u think

 Flaker: I was just reading it, the man is a god.

11:05 AM Wow

  I think you handled the situation correctly.

  Sandy definitely needs some direct confrontation in his life.

 me: yeah

11:06 AM he’s gonna get it too if he isn’t careful

12:05 PM Flaker: We still lifting later?

12:07 PM me: yeah
