Blogroll Me!
There are people on the net that have nothing better to do with their time
then be nasty to other people online. They post rude comments, spend hours
a day talking about sites they hate so much, that they well, spend hours a
day talking about them. (lame) They mock the owners and posters for their
opinions and their right to free speech. They expect everyone to fit into
their narrow-minded little world view or else they throw a temper tantrum.
To these people I say grow up.
Here's a bit of info people...the web is
a HUGE place. If you don't like what I say here, or who I am, or what I
do, or talk about, or what I look like, or the color of my hair, or
whatever asinine thing you dwell on, go somewhere else. It's
really, really easy. Honest. You just click the little "x" in
the corner of your browser and *poof* the offending, big, mean and nasty
site has disappeared.
I pay for this site. It's mine. That
means I can use it for whatever the hell I want to. Don't like it if I'm
bitching about something in my life? Oh fucking well. Go somewhere else.
Think I'm stupid for expressing my thoughts? Too fucking bad, don't read
them. Somewhere along the line, someone forgot this simple fact: Live
and let live Don't like me, cool, fine, whatever, I don't care.
This journal is NOT for you. It's for me. I'm not in it for popularity or
fame or anything stupid like that. I write it because I need to write and
express myself and get things out of my head sometimes. So read or don't,
it doesn't matter, but don't waste my time (or yours) bitching about it.

Free iPod Guide, Help and Reminders!
Just reminding everyone about the free iPods site. I've had something like 22 people sign up and I now have TWO people who completed offers. Three more to go!  How it works: You sign up. (With a real email address that you can access.) You complete an offer. You get credit AND if you came through my link, I get credit too. So your offer counts twice. You have to do an offer for yourself anyway, so why not make it count double? Then you get your friends to do the same. You need five people to sign up through your link. Once that happens, you get a free iPod. No really. I know it sounds too good to be true. But it really does work.  Here it is, brand new, in the box.  And here it is after I bought a leather case for it. No shipping costs. Nothing. There are some hints and tips to making it work for you: If you don't have a credit card (or a check card with a visa/mastercard logo), you can get a virtual credit card online from places like Webcertificate.com. Also, if you have a PayPal business account (which is free), you can get a Mastercard checkcard through them. That's what I did and this way, I would never run risk of being charged for something that was more then the balance in my account. In my case, I opted for the Blockbuster deal. It's like the netflix concept where you make a list online of movies you want to see, they mail them to you (up to three at a time), watch them, keep them as long as you want, then return them prepaid by dropping them back in your mail. Super easy and a really useful service we ended up keeping. You get two weeks free, $9.99 for your first month and the price has gone down to $14.99 a month thereafter. You can cancel it on the 14th day of your trial or any time you want after that. We decided to keep it since we liked it. Had it for months now and it's really useful. So anyway, I just dump $15 in my paypal account each month and it charges me there. No worries. If it's not in there, it will simply decline. So you never have to worry about losing money on something! Some offer info and suggestions: BLOCKBUSTER ONLINE (more info) Time to receive credit: 2 weeks Credit card required: Yes Final cost to you: $0 (9.99/first month if you don't cancel & 14.99/month after that if you keep it) How to cancel: Sign-on to your account and cancel it with a provided link Sign up for a free 2 week trial of Blockbuster Online. The trick with this offer is that you may not cancel during the two week trial and once you complete the two week trial you will receive credit for this offer on your freeiPods.com account within 1-2 days. Basically - it takes 2 weeks to get credit for this offer. >Here is a link to the terms and conditions of this offer. This is the one I used. And it worked well. Not to mention, we liked the service and kept it afterwards. INFONE (more info) Time to receive credit: 1-3 days Credit card required: Yes Final cost to you: $0 How to cancel: Either never make a phone call or sign-on to your account and cancel. It is really easy to do and costs nothing although it does require a credit or check card. You will receive credit for this offer in 1-3 days. It's very easy to cancel too. This is a long distance company where you call their 1-888 number to make a long distance phone call. There are no monthly charges so if you don't make any calls this offer will cost you nothing. Simply cancel a week or so after getting credit. This is the other one I did for Love's account. It didn't cost me one red cent. It put a $1 charge on my PayPal card but refunded it. Basically, it just wanted to make sure the card was valid. That's it. This one doesn't show up often; you have to keep checking back at different points in the day and even late at night. But it's super, super easy. You just need a phone number. Additional offers which are recommended by others: REALRHAPSODY (more info) Time to receive credit: 1-2 days Credit card required: Yes Final cost to you: $0.99 How to cancel: Sign onto your account webpage and cancel your account. This is another recommended offer. It will cost you $0.99 though which isn't a big deal in my opinion considering this can get you a $300 iPod. Sign up for the service and pay only $0.99 for the first month. If you don't cancel within the first month it is $9.95 thereafter. Your freeiPods.com account will be credited within 1-2 days. AOL FOR BROADBAND Time to receive credit: 1-3 days Credit card required: No - you can use a checking account Final cost to you: $0 How to cancel: Call AOL at 1-800-827-6364. They will try to get you to remain a member but just say no. *This is one of the recommended ones. Wait until you are credited before cancelling this account - it takes 3-5 days for your freeiPods.com account to be credited. If you cancel within the 45 days you will NOT be charged a cent! Note: this does require software to be downloaded and installed on your computer. EVERSAVE Time to receive credit: 1-3 days Credit card required: No Final cost to you: $0 How to cancel: Simply unsubscribe from the email list It doesn't get simpler than this - this one is HIGHLY recommended! You get credit on your freeiPods.com account within 1-3 days simply by signing up for some email offers. No credit card required! Basically - you enter in your email address, zip code, gender and year of birth - that's it! It's a completely free service. AOL 9.0 WITH MUSICNET Time to receive credit: 1-3 days Credit Card Required: No - you can use a checking account Final Cost to you: $0 How to cancel: Call AOL at 1-800-827-6364. They will try to get you to remain a member but just say no. Wait until you are credited before cancelling this account -about 1-3 days. I have heard that some people got credit FAST with this one - from 30 minutes to 4 hours. If you cancel within the 50 days you will NOT be charged a cent! Note: this does require software to be downloaded and installed on your computer. Rate The Offers.com gives user feedback on different offers and ranks them. This is another good resource to determine which offer you want to use. Just read the offer details, the terms and you won't have a problem. I just paid attention to what differnt things I was signing up for and what the specifics were and I didn't end up being charged with anything I didn't approve. I've been interviewed by my local news station about the experience, It's been discussed on Wired.com and TechTV. It's really not a scam and it's a way to really, honestly get that iPod (20gig) or iPod mini (in your choice of any of the colors) for pennies. Even if it costs you $14.99 for the blockbuster deal for example...so what? It's a $300 ipod! So...won't you help me out? I'd love to get this done so I can tell my Love he's getting an iPod for his birthday. If you have questions - ask! (ps: Yes, my pc is still wrong. So I'm a bit inconsistant in my online access right now. Hopefully, if I can try another anti-virus scanner, and get it to run through, I can track down whatever bug might have slipped in.)
