I’m a shitty blogger.
Okay, so I haven’t written in my blog in about two months. Everyone’s been hassling me about it: people online, my dad, I think the security guard at my company mentioned something lately. Whatever man. Let me tell you why I haven’t been writing lately:
Tom Sherman is boring and busy.
I haven’t even been keeping up on other people’s blogs. I think that maybe I’m too cool for blogs now. I’m pretty much testing that theory out, and testing out the theory that real life is better than blogs. I’m also testing out the theory that you shouldn’t write blog entries at 1:30 in the morning when you can’t think straight and your normal standards for quality of writing are in the dumper.
But whatever dude!
While I’m in the midst of the worst piece of crap I’ve written in the last year, I’d like the take this opportunity to make a couple of observations:
- Those Fedex/NFL commercials could be a LOT better done, and the one with Joe Montana is just sad. He looks almost geriatric.
- It’s been cold outside but I’m pretty excited about long johns.
- I get really, really angry when our communication and transportation systems don’t work perfectly. Like, we had a lot of snow tonight and the trains were running slowly. It’s a goddamn electric-powered train and I think it should be just fine. So that’s annoys me.
- I’m really really tired and this is incoherent, but I was just feeling bad about not writing anything for so long and getting hassled by everyone so I decided to write SOMETHING.
- I’m supposed to get a $50 rebate check from SBC but those assholes are claiming it’s going to take “10-12 weeks” and then “2 weeks” for processing after that. What kind of bullshit operation are they running. What kind of shit is that. I mean take the fucking form out of the fucking envelope and mail me a check. Three and a half months my white ass.
- Google’s taking over the world and people are too goddamn stupid to realize it’s a more dangerous movement than Apple or Microsoft ever was or will be.
- Three and a half months!!!!!! are you serious!@#!@#!@
- Also Comcast raised their Standard Cable rates to like $50/mo, which is some bullshit
- I’m feeling like this is more like an email than a legit blog entry, but don’t complain. I’ve been writing for nearly 6 minutes now.
- wait, i think i just ran out of things to say, and also i think i’ll write this sentence in lower case
Say hello to the worst crap I’ve written in a long time ughhhhhhhhh
Update: Hey it’s a couple of months later and I got that damn rebate check! Like, “months early.” (Underpromise and overdeliver, right?) Except now SBC overcharged me for DSL, and their confusing bill had December’s DSL usage with January’s phone bill. How’s that for integration? Well, take the bitter with the sweet.

You ARE alive! Writing something is better than nothing. Hey, whatcha want for Christmas?

Bah. I got a kick out of that.
“Three and a half months!!!!!! are you serious!@#!@#!@” Aren’t you Mr. “Cheap, fast, good. Pick two?” In this instance you’re picking one, and it’s not “fast” or “good.”
And, Dad, get this man a new computer. He’s always whining about how his computer is on the verge of meltdown.

Tom Sherman Too Cool For Blogs
Last January, I attended Blog Walk 6.0 in Evanston. There were some impressive people in the room that day, but I particularly liked Tom Sherman. He was young, brash, smart, cynical, unaffected and angry (and I imagine he still is)….

Hey man, i just stumbled on to your blog. Its nice to know im not the ONLY one getting fucked by those SBC assholes. I got six buisness lines and two with buisness DSL. I think they fuck with my bill on purpose just to see if i will raise a bitch and try to get my shit fixed. NOT ONE MONTH GOES BY without me having to place a call to fix some fuckup. Not to mention you have to talk to five morons and two supervisors about what your problem is just to get them to lift a fucking pen. Its rediculous.
Now they bought out AT&T, and what better way to get a facelift for a company that is shit than to use someone elses name. What a bunch of cocks! ok thats it, all i have to say, im done, just had to vent. Thank You.

came to this website by googling SBC overcharge. They changed the rate to $19.99 from $14.99 before the contract end.
I don’t know what to do, I will not ready to give up yet.
