I am trying to sell some items on craigslist and could not believe how shady this world is. Ok, so I put them up on bid and before you know it, you get bombarded by SPAM. Some are really obvious. Like go to this site: xwive.adsi.com and get your money!! It’s like.. uh… I said paypal only dummy!! I’m not gonna fall for this.. but I think somebody could!!
Then some guy with a fake name and fake email sends me this fake paypal payment. I’m no idiot so I know to check my account before I send him my item and sure enough, it was fake. I can tell it’s fake, you idiot!! All the photoshop job and fake email address. I couldn’t believe this guy tried to rip me off. But I bet an average person would fall for this. and I bet he’s scamming a million people every day. I reported him to paypal and then he immediately emailed me that “he wasn’t interested anymore”… After thinking about it, I should have sent him a virus or something but I don’t want him coming after me.
I have also tried ebay, which is ok but nobody trusts me because I only have like 9 stars. How am I supposed to have like 5000 stars like all these superstar sellers. It’s not fair.
I have also tried stubhub and some other sites and those sites are great because it’s a safe and guaranteed but they take such a large commission.
Eventually, I did sell it on craigslist but I would advise anyone trying to sell something on craigslist to be careful. You get what you pay for.
It's my birthday today. I am 29 today. crazyness. my last year of 20's. I will do a quick recap of 28.
The biggest Highlight of the year - I got on the PRICE IS RIGHT!!!
This is my friend Will & Maria. They got married this year. I know they look like robots. This was a big highlight to me because this wedding will probably be the only time where I am the Best Man at a wedding. I knew I couldn't disappoint. I think I wrote the Best Best Man speech EVER. I know it sounds conceited but ask someone that went. I also promised that I would dance the whole night and I never left the dance floor. I was there from the beginning till the end of the last song. I guess that's all it takes to be a Best Man. I did other stuff like multiple slideshows and random errands.
Ekko Church - This journey has been amazing. It's been a little less than one year since ekko has started but I feel like there is so much fruit, especially in me. I am doing and learning things that I never knew before. I am living a new Christian life the way it was meant to be lived. full and abundant. carpe diem. Take life by the horns. I am speaking on a sunday next week (10/18). who would have thought?? that loser, uncool in Jr. high TJ could be speaking passionately about my life to 30 people on a sunday afternoon. God does use the weak.
I bought a house. I am proud of this house because my parents are not well off and they did not help me purchase this house and I am not married so I had to do it alone. I am not blessed w/ an inheritance but God has blessed me with skills, a great job, and an ability to save like no other. I am not afraid of committment to a 30 year mortgage and I pretty much know what I'm doing with my life so I'm not scared to buy a house.
last but not least. when you expect it the least, something great always happens. something great did happen this year and I couldn't have asked for anything greater. i feel blessed, lucky, satisfied, honored, humbled by this woman. I will make her proud.
Rappers have the worst name. Think about it. Rappers are supposed to be intimidating and instill fear in your hearts but if I was an objective person, I would laugh at these names.
ICE-T?? c'mon.. it's just a drink.. why not lemonade?? or Diet COKE.. Ice-T is what I drink when the weather is hot and i need some caffeine.
ICE-Cube. to me, this is worse than Ice-T. At least Ice-T just writes "T" it must stand for something and he's trying to say he's a cold blooded killer so hence the name Ice-T but Ice cube is straight up just Ice Cube.
Snoop Dogg. Ok. Do you know the origin of his name? It actually comes from the Peanuts character Snoopy. How can anyone be intimidated by this name? In fact, Charles Schultz should sue him for stealing his character!!
Eminem. When I first heard this, i was thinking "did they really say M&M?" Why name yourself after a chocolate? I know his name is Marshall Mathers but couldn't he have thought of something else?
50 cent. Ok. I know you're supposed to say "Fithy Cent" but 50 cents? Why not one dollar? it's a little bit more clever than the previous ones but it just doesn't do it for me.
Vanilla Ice. What is up with the obsession with ICE??? i get it.. you're white so you're vanilla.. but why copy already lame names like ICE-T and ICE-Cube and do Vanille ICE???? but vanilla ice sounds better than the previous ones.
props to good names such as: 2pac, EasyE, Run DMC, Jay-z, Busta Rhymes, Ludacris, Queen Latifah, Jazzy Jeff. And to all the rappers I made fun of, please don't kill me
I remember why I hate going to Dodger games. My last Dodger game was about 2 years ago. I left my house at 6:30 for a 7:30 game, and after parking for $15 and walking 30 minutes from my car to my seat, I got there in the 4th inning and Jake Peavey pitched a two hour game and they lost 8-0 and I was gone by the 8th inning. After that, I vowed that I would never go to another game ever again. For some reason, I forgot that vow and I went to a Dodgers-Giants game. It was so incredibly boring and I found myself rooting for the Giants (which means I have REALLY broken up w/ the dodgers). The game was 4 hours long and I was about to shoot myself because it’s hard sitting for four hours for anything.
The video in between in innings. I think they showed the same highlight (Andre Either’s Gaming winning homerun) about 10 times with 10 different effects and songs. I kept saying to my friends, it’s the same highlight!! LAME!!
People care more about hitting the beach ball than watching baseball
Our roll was empty until the 4th inning. 5-8th, it was sold out, empty again in the 9th.
I wikipediaed about Halley Berry, the father of her child, Larry King & his wife and I twittered about how I spilled cheese on my shirt.
There were about 12 pitching changes. Drives me crazy!!!
I left my house at 5:30 on a Friday, got in my chair in the first inning but didn’t get home till 12:30 AM after a 4 hour game.
They showed the Kirk Gibson High-light again. How long are you gonna live off of this? this was 21 years ago..
Bengie Molina took a good 15 minutes changing his shin guards..
Baseball needs to do something. I am a big fan but baseball is just not that fun anymore. Watching the game is just mediocre. People don’t care about baseball. They need to make it quicker for this ADD generation. The in-between entertainment is just not that good. They need to invest in better videos. They should show clips from ABDC or youtube. Something. It just goes too slow.
Anyways.. I’m just ranting cuz I had such a horrible time at Dodger Stadium!! i vow never to go again!!
I just did my Meyer Brigg’s personality test for the 3rd time in my life. I always get the same answer.
ISTJ
It’s easy for me to remember because it says “is TJ” and my name is TJ so “TJ IS TJ”
Anyways, let me read the description. It sounds sooo like me it’s scary.
ISTJs thrive on organization – YES~! I hate chaos and disorder. I think this is why I’m so effective at work and church. There’s hierarchy, tasks, and roles. It fits me so well. My soul doesn’t struggle working in a cubicle like it does with so many people. I actually enjoy it.
will not rest until a job is well completed – I remember in college staying up 20 straight hours to finish the church website and I enjoyed every minute of it.
ISTJs are faithful, logical, organized, sensible, and earnest traditionalists.- faithful. Check. Logical. Double check. Organized. Triple check. I don’t know about earnest traditionalist but I’m not a revolutionary either.
ISTJs prefer dealing with the present and the factual – I’ve been forcing myself to think about the future these days and my calling in life and vision in God but it’s hard for me to do that. I just like dealing with it “Day by Day” (which is a great Dctalk song BTW). Side note: I’m glad Dctalk retired at its peak but that’s left for another xanga entry.
ISTJs respect facts.- you know what I HAAATTTEEE reading fiction novels!! Why? it’s all fake!! I read one page of Lord of the Rings and I was like “Why am I reading this? This is all fake!”
if they are shown the importance or relevance of the idea by someone whom they respect or care about, the idea becomes a fact that the ISTJ will internalize and vigorously support. – This is what I feel about the local church and it was only revealed to me by faith and others in my life.
ISTJs are capable, logical, reasonable, and effective individuals with a deeply driven desire to promote security and peaceful living – yes. I love peaceful living!! I am such a pacifist.
To me, these personality tests help me better understand myself and others. Then, I’m not too hard on myself or others when situations need me to be irrational.
I’ve also done strength finders, but I’ll leave that for another day.
