You know what bugs me the most? It's when people in public places don't respect the space around you. There I was in church this morning waiting for the boys to finish their Sunday school classes and as usual after breakfast at the church cafeteria, Mrs. Spiff and me would head outside to the open waiting area and read the Sunday papers while waiting.
The waiting area has a couple of benches for all the parents to sit, chit-chat, gossip, read the papers, catch up on old times, whatever, while waiting. There sitting next to me is this lady who was fiddling with her cell phone. It didn't bother me at all until she turned on the music on her phone at let it blare loudly while doing god knows what on her cell.
Now, that really ticked me off, I don't want your silly annoying music being forced upon my ears. Get a headphone or one of those bluetooth headpiece devises and blast your music all you want but please don't have it playing loudly while there are people next to you. Come on, have a little respect for peoples space. On top of it, it was that annoying crazy frog tune and now it's stuck in my head and just won't go away.
Sometimes people really have no respect for each other. Another example would be people who just light up not bothering there are people like me who don't smoke and don't need to inhale your horribly unhealthy cigarette smoke that comes right from your god awfully stinking lungs! These people can really be such an inconsiderate bunch of morons!
Imagine, you're having a nice lunch in a restaurant and right next to you, this totally inconsiderate nincompoop decides to light up and ruin your lunch by happily smoking away not bothering about polluting the very air around him and totally ignoring the no smoking signs! It's a restaurant for goodness sake and there are children around. Both Mrs. Spiff and me don't smoke (never have, never will) and we can't stand the smell of smoke, but unfortunately my mom smokes and it gets on my nerves at times too ...
Sorry to be bitching on a Sunday but inconsiderate people irk me to the max! How would they like it if one day I put on a swimsuit and blatantly walk around in front of them? Ok, ok, I know that has no relevance to the topic but it sure felt good saying that ... LOL! Ok, enough of bitching for now. Happy Sunday folks :D

A Prop For Ya ...
This is basically a follow up post to the earlier one that I wrote about the missing props. Well, I discovered the reason why I have zero props and a lot of you guys too (some even have a negative zero ... LOL) is because the people at Izea Social Spark has clamped down on prop fishing and updated their terms and conditions on giving and receiving props.
They have decided that you cannot fish for props by leaving comments such as 'a prop for you, hope you'll prop me back too' which is considered prop fishing. So what they did was dock everyones props to zero or even lower cos of this. What a bloody strange thing to do I would say.
Why offer the feature if you can't use it to prop other users? It's not like it's an abuse of the system to get more assignments or anything (maybe it is but I don't see how, call me a doofus if you want). It's just a fun way to get connected with everyone other user in the Social Spark community. It's like a welcome gift so to speak.
So, I'm sorry people. If I do add you as my friend on Social Spark, I'll definitely prop you but whether you get that prop or not is an entirely different matter :D Anyway, just typing the words prop, props or even propped will give you some warning message saying that they've detected spam in your comments and will now erase your hard disk with a thousand smelly armpit fleas or something along those lines ... hehehe ...
But as long as they give me some good assignments, I shall not complain too much. As for right now, I'll have to go find some acne cream that my older boy asked me to get on the way home.

What Happened To All My Props, Izea?
You know, I just finished an assignment for Social Spark and logged into my account just to check on who added me as a friend and to see how many props I have and had the shock of my life! There I was with a whole total of zero props. Now, what the heck is going on?
While I'm not really bothered about how many props I have and all that as long as I get assignments that can make good money, but I know for a fact that I have a total of 70-80 props at last count. I don't know about the rest of you but I am slightly irritated by this.
What if it happened to all the cash I have in there? I don't really have millions of dollars in there waiting for me to cash out but I do have some and what if one day I log in and discover that my cash balance is a big fat zero? Then what? If it can happen to my props, why not my money, right?
I hope those people at Izea will look into the disappearing props and assure me that whatever money that I have in there is safe. And if you people at Izea are reading this, I happen to think you guys are the greatest and the bestest and please give me more assignments ... LOL! Ok, with my suck up for the day done, I can get back to the serious businesss of blog hopping ... LOL!
Have a great and totally awesome weekend, people :D

Viva La Victory Hair!
Let me get straight to the point here. Have you heard of this game called the Ultimate Flirting Championship? No? You haven't? Gee, are you on even from Planet Earth? LOL! Anyway, it's organized by Extreme Style by VO5. Don't tell me you still haven't heard of it?
Darn, you really need to get out more often, go out meet someone with that same sexy hairdo that you have, go over, ask her or him (or it ... LOL!) for a date, maybe a dinner, using one of those sleazy pick up lines of yours, then when things start heating up and a spark appears. Well, you all know what one spark can lead to, ya? Yes, a spark that would lead to totally messing up your sexy hairdo and giving you that all important Victory Hair look!
And if your spark does take off, then why not try the online flirting game and see if you really still got it or not. All you need to do is find another player and start flirting. Go on already, try it out by clicking the widget below. Yes, yes, this is the third time I'm asking you to click my widget but trust me, it's a pretty fun game. In fact, go on and add the widget in your own blog and get your friends to test your flirting skills on. Just be careful you don't too much of a spark going cos you just might burn down the house ... LOL!

The Sequel: A Lamer Post!
I managed to catch So You Think You Can Dance just now and it's down to the top three with 2 eliminations being done today. And just one more week before the grand finals. Lets just say that after last nights performances, I'm rooting for Hong and C.C. They were absolutely in their element last night. Anyways, I can't wait for the finals.
Ok, ok, I know you all know that I'm just trying to fill up an in between again by just blabbering away with anything that comes to mind and it's not my fault that they need an in between for every assignment, right? Besides, the money is really good :D
And on another note, I'm so darn glad that tomorrow is Friday. Actually it already is Friday and I should be in bed instead of sitting here and blogging away. I'm glad that I don't have to work this weekend. I really need the rest. I think I'm just going to vegetate around the house the entire day! The week has been a crazy one and I do need to de-stress by catching up on lost sleep :D Have a great weekend folks!

A Pick Me Up
What's the worst pick up line you've ever heard? It could have been one you tried yourself on some babe that you had the eye for or it could have been you heard before. If you asked me, I really wouldn't know cos I'm such and innocent little spaceman who never flirted in his entire life ... LOL! But I must say these are some of the most cheesiest I've heard laid my ears upon.
'I was blinded by your beauty so I'm going to need your name and number for insurance reasons'
'If you were the new burger at McDonalds you would be the Mcgorgeous!'
'Are you from Tennessee? Cause you're the only TEN I see'
Now if those are not cheesy, then my name isn't Spiff, the Spaceman. I'll bet if I tried those on anyone, they'd probably call the cops and have me thrown in jail and melt the key or something. Maybe I'll go and try it out on Mrs. Spiff and see if I get hit on the head or not ... LOL!
Anyway, you're all probably wondering just why in heavens name is a happily married spaceman talking about pick up lines? Well, it's all because of the Ultimate Flirting Championship game by Extreme Style by VO5! And please don't tell me you haven't heard of it cos I've seen you guys talking about it on your blogs and all that :D
But just for the sake of you people out there who really have no idea at all just what this is all about, well, it's basically a game where you play to outflirt your opponent by coming up with the best pick up line you can think of so you can get the Victory Hair, which is what happens when two bodies meet, collide and generate a whole current of electricity coursing through your very veins! Or something along those lines.
If you haven't already played the game, then I suggest you try it out by clicking the widget below and follow the instructions. I tried it out already and so far I'm pretty useless at it. I mean, with a pick up line like, 'Were you arrested earlier? It's gotta be illegal to look that good' just how do I expect to win? LOL! Anyways, go on try it out, better yet, put the game widget in your blog or website or something. Who knows, you just might be better at this than I am :)

A Lame Post
I know this is a lame excuse for an interim post but I seriously have no idea what to post. I've had an awfully long and tiring day and my mind is just not up to coming up with some far fetched story about Zorkian bugs and me. Maybe when I'm well rested and all that I'll tell you about the time that Zorkian bugress (that's a female Zorkian bug just in case you didn't know ... LOL) gave me the eye!
So, since the brain isn't working I'll leave you with some more silly copied from the internet jokes. I told you it was a lame excuse for a post ... LOL!
The middle-aged man was visibly shaken when his Doctor advised that he had only 6 month's to live because of the terminal disease that was detected during a recent physical check-up.
The Doctor suggested that he should get his "house in order", make sure his will was current and ensure all final arrangements were in place for the funeral. He should then make plans to enjoy what might be left of his life, to the fullest.
"What will you do for the last six months?" asked the Doctor.
His patient thought for a few minutes then replied, "I think I'll go and live with my mother-in-law."
Surprised by the answer, the doctor asked, "Of all people, why in the would you want to live with your mother-in-law?"
"Because it'll be the longest six months of my life!"

A Stokke, A Tripp And A Trapp ...
It's been a pretty decent day today. It rained quite a bit in the first half of the day, then the sun came out and brightened the place. It's actually just the sort of day to stay home and laze around. Unfortunately I still have to work though.
But I'm thankful that the workload is pretty decent. Managed to finish quite a bit of work today and am able to do the rest at my own pace for now so I'm not as stressed as I was the past week. And I'm also going to take leave tomorrow cos I have some personal matters to attend too.
I'm actually looking forward to heading home, but then again, I'm always looking forward to going home :D The past two weeks have gone by real fast. I've been working non-stop and have actually neglected my blog for quite a while. Ever since I started blogging I've checked my blog at least once a day, minimum but the past week has been a record of sorts cos there were times when I didn't even have the chance to log in for 2 whole days! Can you believe that? 2 whole days!
Anyway, now that things are settling down a teeny wee bit, I can spend some time here trying to figure out just what a Stokke Tripp Trapp is! It sure sounds Austrian to me but then it could also be Jamaican, I don't know, you tell me ... LOL!

Busy And Hating It ...
There I am on one hand complaining I have to much work to do and here on the hand I'm sitting and blogging. LOL! I still do have tons of work to be completed but I seriously need some 'me' time in the office. My clients have been taking all my time since last week and I don't think I want to give them anymore just yet.
I've been going home feeling like a walking zombie all week and I don't know how long I can keep up my zombie routine. In fact, I haven't even been eating properly. Not that I don't want to but I just don't have the strength to eat at times. I've probably lost some weight which is really a good thing cos then I wouldn't be needing all those Phentermine pills that I was thinking of getting at one time to lose weight.
Yes, I'm still obsessed with losing weight and I still am on my diet. I've kinda really gotten used to it and I know I'll be sticking with it until I lose a respectable amount of weight. Which will probably take a few centuries or so ... LOL! I'm actually pretty hungry right now cos I haven't really had a decent lunch today. I only had 4 slices of bread and coffee for lunch and I can't wait to head home for some decent dinner. I wonder what I should eat for today?

The Mother-In-Law
Ok, I was think just what to write as an interim post. Those of you who do assignments know just exactly what I'm talking about. And sometimes it can get really difficult trying to figure out just what to write to fill in the blanks.
Of course I could just go on and on and on about this and it would probably bore you to death. And besides I've still got loads of work left to do so I'll just leave you all with this short joke which I found to be hilarious. Some of you may have heard it before, but hey, what's hearing it once again :D
A newlywed farmer and his wife were visited by her mother, who immediately demanded an inspection of the place. While they were walking through the barn, the farmer's mule suddenly reared up and kicked the mother-in-law in the head, killing her instantly.
At the funeral service a few days later, the farmer stood near the casket and greeted folks as they walked by. The pastor noticed that whenever a woman would whisper something to the farmer, he would nod his head "Yes" and say something. Whenever a man walked by and whispered to the farmer, he would shake his head, "No" and mumble a reply. Curious, the pastor later asked the farmer what that was all about.
The farmer replied, ''The women would say, 'What a terrible tragedy' and I would nod my head and say, 'Yes, it was.' The men would ask, 'You wanna sell that mule?' and I would shake my head and say, 'Can't. It's all booked up for a year.
