Classiness, Thy Name is Busty Heart

January5

Do you ever wonder what washed up porn stars do after they turn 40? I highly doubt Busty Heart saved up for retirement, because rather then retiring to live her golden years on a golf course in Leisure Town, instead she’s come up with a circus freak act: Using her saggy breast implants to crush objects. Like watermelons.

Yikes. Tell me that isn’t painful?!

A Whole New World!

January3

I’ve finally made the switch from blogger (weak) to Wordpress (infinitely superior)! It was actually fairly simple to make the switch since Wordpress has an “import blogger blog” button, that will import all of your content from your blogger blog.

Here are my top 5 reasons why Wordpress is better then Blogger’s blogging platform:

1. Wordpress has hundreds of thousands of cool plugins/widgets to customize your blog in practically any way imaginable.

2. Wordpress is more search engine friendly then Blogger.

3. Wordpress has a vastly infinite selection when it comes to themes/skins.

4. Wordpress is more user friendly.

5. All the cool kids are switching from Blogger to Wordpress. There has to be a reason why that is…

So my blog has been moved to its new home (complete with new look), redirects are in place, custom tweaks are mostly done, co-op is set up, cool plug-ins have been activated and I’m back to blogging :).

So, let’s use one of these cool new plugins now, shall we?

Paris Hilton Pays $200,000 to Ruin a Bentley

January2

paris hilton pink bentley

Paris Hilton has paid West Coast Customs $200,000 to completly ruin a perfectly sexy Bentley Continental. She had the car painted Pepto-Bismol pink, with pink rims, pink trim, pink/black interior, pink grill and a whole lot of other pink crap. I have to say that Paris now owns the ugliest car I have ever seen. You couldn’t PAY me to drive that monstrosity.

You could have very easily sexed up a Bentley with a pink paint job or pink accents, but the color that Paris chose and the sheer overkill of “MAKE EVERYTHING PINK!” is just plain ugly. Kinda goes to show what a great “designer” Paris Hilton is. (Have you ever seen anyone wearing her clothing line besides herself? Nope. And there is a reason why…)

Ebay Has Lost Their God-Damn Mind!

November6

I used to sell on Ebay, but stopped selling on Ebay over a year ago because of the constant fee hikes that eBay imposes on it’s seller (like eBay doesn’t make enough money). Over the Halloween season, I decided to give eBay another shot and have come to this conclusion: EBAY IS A TOTAL JOKE. It’s not even close to being worth selling on eBay and you can tell that there has been a major decline in quality sellers, since nearly everything on eBay is total crap (shipping straight out of Taiwan) or overpriced (because the sellers have to pass on the cost of doing business on eBay to the buyers).

Say you bought a book for $5 and want to sell it for $10 (standard retail markup is 100%). If you sell that book on eBay for $10, it’s going to cost you $2.25 in fees, plus the $5 it cost for the product, so you profit a whooping $2.75 for a $10 eBay sale. Ebay is taking nearly HALF of your profit!

Say you have a $15 shirt that you want to sell for $30 on eBay. That will cost you $4.54 in fees, leaving you with profit of $10.46 on a $30 sale.

Ebay hides their fees by making them difficult to understand and by making them variable. You can check out the current eBay fees here:

http://pages.ebay.com/help/sell/fees.html

But, don’t forget about the Paypal fees too (Paypal is owned by eBay):

https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_display-receiving-fees

Also, eBay has decided that sellers can no longer participate in the feedback aspect of eBay. Sellers can not leave negative or neutral feedback for a buyer, no matter what. But buyers can leave negative or neutral feedback for a seller. Gee that seem fair?

Ebay is lame. I hope they go out of business soon. :)

Backstreet Boys Bird Dancer

This video is so incredibly cute and funny! Apparently this cockatoo really likes the Backstreet boys and totally rocks out when he hears them…

Am I crazy or does that bird have mad rythme!?!

Blogger is Weak

Blogger is pretty lame, if you ask me. I am going to switch over to Wordpress soon. Then I will blog more, I promise :).

Changing Your Name When You Get Married

August25

I was never the little girl that dreamed about getting married one day. As a matter of fact, I still have zero desire to ever have a wedding. Weddings seem a little cheesy to me, not to mention a waste of money. If marriage meant anything anymore, perhaps I wouldn’t feel that way, but with the average divorce rate nearing 50% it’s obvious that vowing to be with someone for better or worse is not taken to heart (or, 50% of Americans are liars), so why make such a big deal about getting married? I can think of 1000 other things I would rather spend $20,000 on (the average US couple spends between $14,000 and $43,000 on their wedding!).

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a bitter old maid (yet…haha…just kidding), I love seeing people get married that are truly in love. And seeing a little old man and women hobble down the street holding hands is probably the cutest thing ever.

Any how, I’m totally getting off topic here! Along with not ever “dreaming” about getting married, I never wanted to change my name. It seems strange to me that a women loses her identity as soon as she gets married. BUT, that all changed when I met Stefan. Ever since we started dating I couldn’t wait to become Summer Rest :). Now that is a great name…haha

Thanks to Conner that took the picture above. He found Summer Rest Road in North Carolina.

It’s not a Liger…

July3

It’s a Whirlcat!!

Ever since I was a kid, I knew what all of our baby animals would look like when they grew up. That’s the beauty of “purebreds”. But is that nearly as fun as discovering new species in the tropics?!?!

Well, in Puerto Rico, when you adopt a baby animal, you have no idea what it will end up being. Take for example, the cat we adopted (after finding him starving in the middle of the road). We thought he was a mere cat. But, no. I have decided that he is really a cross between a weasel (long body), squirrel (outrageously fluffy tail) and a cat. Chichieto is a Whirlcat. Who woulda thought…

My friend Carrie has two (Puerto Rican) dogs from the same litter and you would totally not believe it. One is tiny (8lbs?) with a short brown coat and the other dog is 4 times his size with a long ivory-colored coat. I really thought she was joking when she told me they were brother/sister.

I’m SO Sick of People The Don’t Do Their Jobs

July2

I’m so incredibly sick of people that don’t do their jobs. Today I spent most of my day chasing people around (via phone and email), trying to get them to do their jobs. I also found out that my license is expired and there is a warrant out for my arrest in the state of California. Not because I did anything wrong, just because people don’t do their fucking jobs.

Last time I was in San Diego, I made sure that the DMV had my current address, so that I would receive the paperwork I would need to renew my license online. It never came. Although I did get a bill from the DMV for registration (OH, so you DO have my address, huh?) What else did I receive? A letter from the court telling me that I didn’t complete my “work service” and that a warrant would be issued for my arrest if I didn’t clear this up with them. I already cleared this up with them. Someone just isn’t doing there job (on my tax dollars).

I’ve had a claim filed with Kaiser for reimbursement of medical bills, for 8 months now. It’s just sitting in someones file waiting for me to give up calling and asking for status.

Six months before 2007 taxes were due, I hired a CPA/financial planner to take care of my business stuff (taxes/investments/etc). When I emailed them 2 weeks before taxes were due, they decided that they couldn’t really help me. They were nice enough to file an extention for me (enter sarcasm here).

I hired a Quickbooks “specialist” that was supposed to get my company books fine tuned. I gave him a $1200 retainer, that he promptly cashed (within 2 days). Then I stopped hearing from him. Until I finally threatened legal action. Now, he wants me to jump through a bunch of hoops to get my money back. So I’m flying back to San Diego to sue him in small claims court, to get my money back for work that he never performed. Because, you know, actually DOING the work that I gave you $1200 for is entirely too hard.

I can see it now. As soon as I get back to CA, I get pulled over, while driving with a suspended license, record run to reveal a warrant out for my arrest and arrested. Wasting more of my time. Time that could be spent trying to get people to do their jobs, or, dare to dream, doing my own job. All because people are too fucking stupid and/or lazy to do their fucking jobs, and it’s all somehow my problem.

Nigerian Internet Scams

June22

Man, those Nigerians are getting trickier and trickier. I got this email from “FedEx” the other day and nearly fell for it! The email is simply so well written and convincing (My favorite parts are in bold)!

Authoritatively, this is the FedEx courier service company mailing you in respect of your parcel that was brought to this company to be delivered to you by one Mr. Grahams Gilliam. Before the delivery protocols commenced, there was a misunderstanding between the Central Bank and the National Insurance Corporation of Nigeria (NICON) over the Insurance Certificate which caused the delay of you receiving your parcel for the past one year.

I seriously feel bad for honest Nigerians. Nigerians are known world-wide for being scam artists (well, attempted scam artists, because they don’t seem to be very good at it) and I’m sure that generalization follows them around when they travel outside of Nigeria.
