Thanks! I take a lot of my pacing from books, short stories, or essays I've read. I like the way you typically format and pace your blog posts. They're quite excellent as well. Are you a writer? | ||

They're quite excellent as well. Are you a writer? Not for money yet. I am talking to several blogging networks that are interested in picking up my blog, so that is a promising direction it seems. When that happens is just a matter of securing the best offer available. Thank you for always supporting me. If there is anything I can do for you, please let me know. | ||

As for a more normal deal, I ordered my keyboard for like 2/3rds of the regular price via some Amazon seller. | ||

The bed is ruined, because it's this off-white thing. She is so sorry, etc. Literally the SAME day, I get a call from a raffle I had entered into months ago, 30 dollar raffle ticket for breast cancer, and I ended up winning a 1000$ shopping spree at Sleep Country. The same day! I guess this doesn't totally count as a deal but it was such an amazing coincidence. The kicker: the girl had convinced me to enter into the raffle in the first place! ^.^ | ||

That is a crazy coincidence. My dad would pull this move on a tri-annual basis, but he always told me that he dreamed he was sitting on the toilet. Wait a second, why does he sit down when he pisses in his dreams? | ||

When I was a teenager (around 14 if I remember correctly) I had been gifted an iPod Mini by my mother, as I am a very musically inclined person. Shortly after, as the old iPods had quite a few problems, it began to self destruct and eventually stopped working. The iPod though, was under warranty, so I sent it to Apple in hopes of getting it fixed. About two months later I get my iPod back in the mail. It's clearly the same iPod since it has this long scratch in the back from when I left it in my pocket with a boxcutter. I get it out of the box and plug it in, excited that it's been fixed. The catch was....they didn't fix anything. It came back to me, still broken. I called Apple, explained it to them, and they had me send it back to them in order to be fixed. My iPod returned only 3 weeks later and I was quite surprised. I open the box, plug it in, and it still doesn't work. I call Apple AGAIN, and at this point they told me to hang on to my iPod and they would just send me a replacement with an upgrade to the newest iPod. They called me again the next day giving me the tracking number for the package containing my brand new iPod. Being 14 I naturally didn't give a shit about the tracking number, but I wrote it down anyway and left it next to my computer. After a week of coming home from school hoping to see my new iPod waiting on the front porch like packages delivered to the house usually are, it was Spring Break and we went on a family vacation. Thinking nothing of it, we left town for our trip. Upon returning from our trip, as we were gone for the better part of 8 days, I had expected the iPod to be at my house when we returned. It wasn't. So, I went upstairs, dug through the piles of paper all over my desk looking for that silly tracking number thingy. I went online and tracked the package, which it said "Delivered" and had the date next to it. It had been put down that Apple requested a signature for the package when it arrived, but nobody signed for it on delivery. I called Apple AGAIN, and explained the situation to them. They called DHL and inquired into it, and shortly after they called me back and said that they were going to send ANOTHER iPod. I waited about a week, and one Wednesday afternoon while I was down in the basement playing Halo and yelling obscenities into the microphone at my teammates over XboxLIVE, I heard the doorbell. I put the controller down and answered the door for the DHL Driver. I signed for the package and was handed my brand new iPod! Fast forward about a month later, and I'm in our back yard doing some yardwork around the pool. As I clear some debris from around the retaining wall where wind tends to push stuff around the pool deck, I see a bright yellow stickynote. Being the curious person I am, I pick it up to see if there's anything written on it. Written in black sharpie, in hastily scrawled letters it reads "Neighbors said you are out of town, hid your package in the grill on the back porch - DHL" Sure enough, I open the hood of the grill and there inside is the package containing my OTHER new iPod. I still use that iPod today, 5 years later. | ||
