Conversation with desperate manhunt dude started around 12:30 a.m. and ended around 1:50 p.m. on Thursday, May 15th, 2008. I had just woke up and got out of bed. Around the middle of the conversation I started doing laundry because it had to be done and I was really kinda getting bored with this guy. This is another example of the type of stuff I deal with when I give out my yahoo messenger screen name lol.

DesperateJJ: hey whats up
David (ME): I just woke up actually
DesperateJJ: ok
DesperateJJ: want me to let u go
David (ME): no it’s cool i can chat. i’m just doing some morning excercises is all nothing too strenuous though
DesperateJJ: ok
David (ME): What’s up?
DesperateJJ: what have you been up to haven’t talked to u in a while
DesperateJJ: nothing up just bord
DesperateJJ: and trying to find a bf
DesperateJJ: your pic is very nice looking man
David (ME): I’ve been working on getting in better shape mostly, and have been spending a lot of time building up my website, staying at home trying to save money…. thats pretty much it.
David (ME): I don’t mean to be rude but I’m not sure I remember talking to you.
DesperateJJ: i know what you mean whats your website called
DesperateJJ: i’m in phenix city
DesperateJJ: we have chatted before but not long becouse you hade to go i think we may have talked 2 times
David (ME): My website is at www.earthtodavid.com …. I have recently redesigned the whole website so it’s easier to navigate and read now.
DesperateJJ: ok
David (ME): Do you have a picture you can send me so that I can see if I remember talking to you?
DesperateJJ: yes
You have received 1 file from DesperateJJ.
WKW.jpg
Open (Alt+Shift+O)
David (ME): Thanks for sending your picture but I still don’t remember talking to you.
DesperateJJ: you are a very nice looking guy
David (ME): Is it raining in Phenix City?
DesperateJJ: well i’m sorry
DesperateJJ: yea
DesperateJJ: is there
DesperateJJ: do u rember i told u i would like to meet u and u said maybe someday
David (ME): yes it is raining here.
David (ME): No I’m sorry I don’t remember saying that.
DesperateJJ: i don’t remember what all we talked about sorry
David (ME): Well I guess there is no sense in dwelling on the past.
DesperateJJ: you right
DesperateJJ: so have you found sombody yet
DesperateJJ: on man hunt there is some better pic of me there screenname is xxxxxxxxxxx on manhunt
David (ME): I’m not necessarily looking for anybody. I am perfectly happy living my life on my own right now. That doesn’t mean I wouldn’t go out on a date with a guy if a guy I was interested in came along.
DesperateJJ: kool
DesperateJJ: so would you like to go out sometimes
DesperateJJ: where in opelika do u stay
DesperateJJ: if i give u my number would you call me sometimes
David (ME): Dude your sounding a little desperate there. Chill out, enjoy the day……. I don’t know anything about you and I’m sorry but I’m just not feeling a date thing with you and I don’t call strangers I’ve never met.
DesperateJJ: ok understand
David (ME): Ok well…. I have called a few strangers I can’t lie lol…. but it never got me anywhere haha.
DesperateJJ: understand
DesperateJJ: i’m just so lonely thats why i guess i sound desperate
DesperateJJ: do u still have the goattee
David (ME): I don’t believe in loneliness. You should find something in your life that you enjoy doing and can enjoy doing on your own. Something that means something to you. Loneliness is what you get when your not living your life to it’s potential and finding meaningful things to fill your life with. Loneliness is not something you get because your not dating someone. Get off your ass and live life. The right guy will come along soon enough, but he won’t if your gonna sit around pouting about being alone…… that is just my philosophy on that.
DesperateJJ: your so right
David (ME): I’m glad you see it that way lol.
DesperateJJ: kool
DesperateJJ: hey david are you hairy r smooth just asking
David (ME): Yes by the way I still have my goatee.
DesperateJJ: kool u r cute with it
David (ME): I’m a little furry but I don’t cause carpet burns.
DesperateJJ: kool
DesperateJJ: i like a little hair on a guy
DesperateJJ: i like you you are so nice
DesperateJJ: you still there
DesperateJJ: nice talking to you
David (ME): Yes I am still here.
David (ME): I was updating my ManHunt profile.
DesperateJJ: ok
David (ME): Read this and tell me what you think lol.
David (ME): Yes I’m gay as a 3 dollar bill, but I am not a sissy. In fact I can’t stand sissies. I can’t even stand the slightest hint of a sissy! If you are sissified then please stay the hell away from me. Very masculine guy here. Quiet most of the time but I have some moments now and then. I’m into the outdoors, love the lake, hiking, kayaking, working out, riding my bike, taking long walks, blogging, keeping up my website (ask me for the address - - - you’ll like it I promise). I love movies and music, enjoy shopping (both in real stores and online). I am very selective with who’s dick I put in my mouth. Want to know more? Ask me.
DesperateJJ: i like that
David (ME): Oh I forgot to say that the title to my profile on ManHunt…. to go along with what I just wrote is “You Ain’t Never Met Anybody Like Me Trust Me”.
DesperateJJ: sound good
DesperateJJ: i like it
David (ME): cool
DesperateJJ: i wish i could meet you sometimes
DesperateJJ: nice talking to you
David (ME): Later dude
DesperateJJ: later

I’m starting a new category on my website called “Songs I Jam To”. It’s sort of a self photography thing where I take pictures of myself jamming to songs that make me dance on my mp3 player when I’m out walking. It’s also a way for me to share the music I like to listen to. I took this picture yesterday while I was walking through an open field when the song Cars That Go Boom by L’Trimm started playing on my Sansa Fuze. I love this song because it takes me back to the 80’s and my roller skating era.

A blonde walks into a bank in New York City and asks for the loan officer. She says she’s going to Europe on business for two weeks and needs to borrow $5,000. The bank officer says the bank will need some kind of security for the loan, so the blonde hands over the keys to a new Mercedes Benz SL 500.

The car is parked on the street in front of the bank. She has the title, and everything checks out. The bank agrees to accept the car collateral for the loan.

The bank’s president and its officers all enjoy a good laugh at the blonde for using a $110,000 Benz as collateral against a $5,000 loan. An employee of the bank then proceeds to drive the Benz into the bank’s underground garage and parks it there.

Two weeks later, the blonde returns. She repays the $5,000 and the interest, which comes to $15.41.

The loan officer says, “Miss, we are very happy to have had your business and this transaction has worked out very nicely, but we are a little puzzled. While you were away, we checked you out and found that you are a multimillionaire. What puzzles us is, why would you bother to borrow $5,000?”

The blonde replies, “Where else in New York City can I park my car for two weeks for only $15.41 and expect it to be there when I return?”

A blond walks into a library and goes to the information desk. She assertively says to the librarian, “I would like a burger and fries!” The librarian, looking confused and outraged answered, “Miss, this is a library!” The blond then whispers, “Oh. I’m sorry, I would like a burger and fries….”

As some of you may have noticed, that when you visit my blog, you may have heard an audio advertisement. If not, not to worry as they only play for a select bunch of users at random and based on many factors out of my control for the time being. But the possibility is there. Why am I letting my readers know about this?

Well I want to share this new monetizing possible alternative to you. You too can add audio adverts to your website or blog. And this type of advertizing is called “Pay Per Play”. The best part is that each and every visitor is money in your pocket, regardless if they return in a minute, a day or dont even have a sound card. And if you get in on the Beta testing before it closes, which I have been recently told is very soon. You will be able to earn money off people you referred to the program! Not a bad way to make some extra money.

Today I did something I normally don’t do. I went jogging after work. Normally I don’t do anything that even remotely resembles exercising (except dancing maybe) on the days that I work, but I spent the whole day at work looking at all the younger guys with their tight muscles and I kept thinking to myself “God I wish I looked like him.” And then I kept telling myself “your never going to get in shape if you don’t start doing something about it”. And so that was the reason I went jogging. I want to lose some weight and buy a weight bench to start working out. I want to see what I can look like with a broad chest, big arms and strong shoulders. I’m tired of being wimpy! I hope this is not just another one of my excercise phases. I’ve been through too many of those. I want to get into a work out routine and stick with it. I can’t afford to pay to go to a gym so I’m gonna have to invest in some equipment of my own. I have a Tony Little Gazelle Glider already and it’s great. I just need to start using it more. I really want a weight bench though so I guess I need to start doing some shopping. Anyway I don’t think I’m gonna go jogging tomorrow because today was the first time I went jogging in a long time and I don’t want to overdo it. I’ll probably just go for a walk or work out on the gazelle for a little bit. And maybe I’ll do some push up’s and sit up’s too. I added a page to my site called Harder Better Faster Stronger where I’ll be keeping up with my workouts. Check it out. There are two pretty cool videos of some guys doing a dance routine to the song harder better faster stronger by daft punk. That song is the theme song to my new start at getting in shape.

I titled this post the most beatiful tree I’ve ever seen. What I meant to say was this is the most beautiful tree I’ve ever seen photographed online. I found this photo at the Best Picture Gallery website. Take a look over there. There are some really beautiful photos to see.

I am fascinated by this. I’ve never seen anything like it.

For anyone out there looking to order business cards I wanted to tell you about VistaPrint. I have used their service several times in the past and I can tell you their products, service and delivery time is worth every penny you might spend with them. If you are a first time customer with them you can get an order of 250 FREE business cards and all you have to do is pay for the shipping. Vistaprint’s cards are great quality products, but they also offer other cool stuff to promote your business such as T-shirts, Sticky Notes, Hats, Postcards, Envelopes, Letterheads, and Invitations. I should also tell you that if you subscribe to their email updates they will periodically send you email sales that offer you all of these products from time to time at dirt cheap prices. Check out VistaPrint for all of your business promotion needs.

And……….. if your looking for something a little different from your normal business cards you can try the mini cards made by MOO.

And……….. if your the crafty type who runs a craft business (like I do occasionally) then you could get yourself some markers, card paper, scissors, stickers, paper cutter/trimmer, colored pencils and other card making supplies and craft your own.

Sharing with you the three main blog sites where I’m currently downloading my remixes.

I’ll be posting a page on my site soon with even more.

I went to see Iron Man at the theatre tonight. I loved it, and here is my review. Robert Downey Jr., who played Tony Starks (Iron Man) did an excellent job of acting in this movie, even though I don’t know anything about the Marvel Comic character other than what I saw played in this movie. I have to say that Robert Downey Jr was looking pretty hot throughout most of the movie. I don’t know when he started working out but it paid off. Gweneth Paltrow was also enjoyable in the movie as well. I think there is an almost perfect balance between the storyline and action scenes along with the special effects in this movie. There wasn’t a single period of time that I sat in the theatre watching this that I got bored. The whole movie is really good. It is much better than I had anticipated that it would be. I will definitely be wanting to add this movie to my dvd collection when it is released on disc.

I have been making these since I was a little boy. I’ve been thinking of making some to sell.
