Dear Rogers,

Hey listen,
I cancelled my service with you guys because you put that internet bandwidth limit up at only 60GB. I think I went over my limit by about five bucks the last time you billed me. And frankly, I really don't want to pay for that extra bandwidth I used because that is the reason why I refuse to be your customer.
Any chance you could just strick that last five bucks I owe because of your new limit?
Thanks,
- Mike.

Way to NOT go Ticketmaster.ca

>>sent to sales@ticketmaster.ca in response to "well, what can you do?"

Hey.
  I understand that there are only so many tickets to go around. But I also understand that tickets were being sold exclusively through you. So why then, after waiting by my computer at ticketmaster.ca until 10am, should I have a problem getting tickets. I even had that answer to that "skill testing question" that you had to do. I was set up!
  But then no. The "special live promotion code" box had to have a special code in it. Not the answer to the question (alloftheabove), which would have been the obvious choice, but a special code that I'm guessing was only accessible BEFORE the tickets went on sale. How the hell does that make sense?
  I sat there for a half hour trying to figure out what your fucking code was. Trying such classics as "d", "alloftheabove", "all", and "allofthem"... And your link to www.ticketmaster.ca/promo/15088.com which was to explain this whole code shanagan was BROKEN! That's real organized, guys. Good work. I noticed the link there on the live 8 info page. I copied right from that location. YOU PUT A .com AFTER THE 15088!!! ONLY JUST NOW AFTER ALL THE FUCKING TICKETS WERE SOLD OUT DID I DELETE THE .COM MANUALLY AND HIT ENTER TO FIND THAT THE PAGE WAS STILL THERE. AND THE ANSWER WAS ALLOFTHEABOVE BUT WITHOUT 'OFTHE'!
  You have no idea how frustrated I am. I expect some sympathy because you guys really SUCKED on this one.

Peace,
- Mikey.

fickle is thy nature

A few weeks ago something terrible happened to me and my lifestyle. If you don't know about torrents at this point, you're in a sad state of missing out. There are hundreds of torrent sites out there distributing everything you could ever imagine from books to movies and music, programs, games and more (I think I've seen one person seeding AIDS one time).

But anyway, a few weeks ago my favourite torrent site, elitetorrents.org, was discovered by the FBI (and ICE - whatever the fuck that is). This meant that it was shut down permanently and there was to be no more sharing of the newest movies (the ones still in theatre - but i could get dvd quality from this one site), no more getting the newest music releases before they were available in stores (I had weezer's new one about two weeks ealy!), and worst of all, no more watching TV from my computer.

I stayed current with quite a few television shows... and since the FEDS took my site down, I have missed the last few shows. I don't even know how Lost ended!

Yet today, I look at the way I feel.... and despite the empty media space in my brain-hole, I'm still happy. Perhaps one day I'll finish the series... but I guess I never really cared if Jack and all those fuckers got off the island, or if they were eaten by polar bears, or if they all had mad island sex together. Who cares?

'sup,... ah... yo.

hey.
I hate moving. But I invite you to my photo album. http://spaces.msn.com/members/undrunk/ ... it's possible that you might have to be msn enabled to view it... but that's just the way it is, so deal with it.
Does anyone need an electrician apprentice to work for them? I need a job... and until then the drinks are on you, so pray for a lottery win.
