in the mornings, I have a set routine. the last thing I usually do everyday before leaving the house is sign onto Yahoo! to check my mails. well, this morning there was a little surprise waiting for me:



I was a bit surprised. I mean, I know I'm popular and all, but shit... 4000 emails? I'm not Strong Bad over here. so I open up my inbox, and discover that some creative e-thug has sent out tons of spam emails advertising a 'Canaddian' (sic) pharmacy using addresses such as r2xqmy@ES.com, and since I have my email set to catch mail sent to invalid addresses, I received hundreds upon hundreds of bounce messages from people rejecting 'my' spam. so I cleared out my inbox and spam folder, and shortly before 11a went to work.

fast forward to like, 20 minutes ago: I get home and check my mails. I am then greeted with another surprise:



this in the space of six hours, folks. so I clean out my inboxes, again, then go ahead with changing my settings to make another address my catchall address. the point? not sure. I just really hate spam.

anyone who knows me well knows I'm horrible at dealing with things that relate to death. especially when it comes to cemeteries and funeral homes. one thing that frightens me to no end is the exhumation of buried coffins and the remains in them. I honestly had no idea of this concept until about ten years ago, when I read a book about my church's history and found out that one of the previous buildings had a small graveyard next to it, and when encroaching downtown development threatened the church, they de-interred the existing caskets and moved them to Oakland Cemetery. the idea of this completely scared and disgusted me; the image of vaults being moved on flatbed trucks through the city stayed in my head for a long time. then, me being me, I just like forgot all about it.

fast forward to today: I click over to the Star Tribune website for the day's news and I find out that there's an investigation on in central Minnesota regarding a fifty-year-old death case. not only that, but they include a photo on the front page. not a file photo of the victim in question, but of a burial vault being lifted out of the ground:


good lord, Strib! warn a brotha'. if this isn't a totally morbid picture to look at, I don't know what is.

...I feel it in my toes
Christmas is all around me, and so the story goes
I feel it in the wind, everywhere I go
so if you really love Christmas come on and let it snow

IT'S SNOWING. I'm so glad.

I discovered today that my website is now blocked by my employer's surf control filter. I believe that for non-specified sites, the filter is bandwidth-triggered, so thanks everyone at work for driving up my traffic so much that I can't see my own site.

also, today I got the dubious honor of hearing the new single fron Maroon5 Train. oh man, what happened to this group? I realize that these guys are no Beatles, or even Pat McGee Band, but fuck they sure got mediocre fast. that 'Calling All Angels' song was old almost upon release and this new one called 'Riding on a Butterfly' or something equally retarded sounds like something that Jack Johnson or Jason Mraz wrote in a drunken stupor then discarded. it kinda makes one nostalgic for 2000, when this group's presence was still somewhat fresh and not at all bothersome.

Cities Sampler time in two days, bitches.

yes, I really was this bored. it actually got up to over $100m before I got really sick of adding lines.

I know, it's sad.

everyone out there has either received a message from me or is way out of my league.

if someone can possibly invent some other medium in which to meet people through I'd be grateful
