This place is about $155,000. Why should I not buy this place (bonus: I'm Irish). Check out the pictures and video of the place. I need to find out the age of consent in Ireland:

for two decades, i have focused on good temperament and always keeping my composure even in very stressful situations. regardless of if it is in sports or general life, i feel i have mastered it. but, this . . . this mother fvcker, he may have been a rare example of me purposely losing it a bit to teach him a lesson.

another driver has recorded 22 hours of traffic video over two years of another driver routinely running red lights, cutting off other motorists, and putting others in extreme danger. i dont know how the guy behind the video managed to not track this bastard down to his house and prove a point. if you dont have 22 minutes to watch it, jump to different parts and see everything this asshole does:

any of you guys have a good recommendation on wireless, bluetooth headphones for running?

i had a pair that i absolutely loved, but they died in less than two weeks. it was a cheap pair, but they were a perfect fit and lightweight. i usually dont like in-ear headphones because they fall out, but as long as it has behind the neck and ear fit around the outside of the ear, they seem to work for me.

the pic below is basically the same style i had that i loved. the link is what i am contemplating buying. i dont like the ear pieces that just have a wire connecting them behind the head. i prefer something more rigid to help keep the ear pieces in place. im amazed that there are no options of quality headphones with the same design as the one pictured below:

Another craigslist story for you . . .

I'm a platinum member of a hotel brand rewards club. I was rewarded with three free nights at any of their properties in the U.S., Canada, or the Caribbean. Having forgotten about the nights, and with the expiration date of the stay just a week away, I posted an ad on craigslist for somebody to buy the nights.

One guy took the offer. He only wanted two of the three nights, which was fine with me . . . losing the third night wasn't a big deal. He wanted to stay at a particular hotel outside of San francisco. his stay would cost him over $1200 if purchased on his own, so we agreed that chopping off $500 of that (leaving me with $700) was fair.

I explained to him that once booked, there was no canceling. In multiple texts/emails, I reiterated that. He agreed. I told him to be sure he wanted those nights, because I wouldn't be able to use them again if he backed out. Usually, I would insist on the payment being upfront after proving my identity (and assuring them that PayPal, my method of payment, is very good with fraud disputes). But, I did a little research in this guy and saw his background, so I was comfortable with his reluctance to send money until he was in the room. "You have my word that I'll send the payment once I get the room key tomorrow." I emailed him the confirmation of his reservation.

Of course, that never happened. He was supposed to send me payment the afternoon he arrived. I texted him the next day with no response. After a few more texts, a voicemail, and two other calls which he didn't answer over the next 24 hours, I stepped my game up. I first obtained his mother's cell number to call and make sure the guy was alright . . . English wasn't her first language, so she thought I was just a long-time friend calling trying to find her son. I explained who I was and that her son scammed me. She really wasn't much help. I then texted the buyer letting him know that if I didn't receive payment within 24 hours, I would start calling his neighbors (I knew his address) to let them know what a piece of shit he was, followed by his employer. He still didn't respond.

Finally, three days after he was supposed to have paid me, I called his cell number making it appear that the call was coming from his mother's number. He immediately answered and was thrown for a surprise when I told him who I was, as he was expecting his mother to be on the other end of the call. I told him he was a piece of shit, stated I was going to call everyone on XXXX Street, and let his employer know what type of guy he was. He told me to go ahead and do it. He then tried arguing that he didn't even stay at the hotel, so he shouldn't pay. I laughed and told him that it was agreed upon many times in both text and email the day before his stay, that if he canceled or didn't use the nights, I would lose them, so he still had to pay. He agreed to that less than 24 hours before his stay was to start. I asked him if he thought that was a legitimate excuse, why would he have ignored my friendly texts for two days asking about the payment and not responded to any other attempts to reach him. He knew he was being a scamming bastard. After I mentioned his boss' name, he said "what's your PayPal address and how much do you want me to send." Within 45 seconds, before we got off the phone, I already had payment.

Now, people scamming or not keeping their word on craigslist is nothing new. But, this is what surprises me:

This guy has two degrees from Stanford. He is a software engineer for a well known company with many international offices. He lives in a multi-million dollar house. Yet, he was still trying to scam me.

Dirtballs come in all shapes and sizes.

Anybody have a clue?

To discuss NCAA governance, private equity’s interest and the House settlement-related revenue-sharing model.

On a flight last week, I saw this very attractive and familiar face board the plane. She had on eyeglasses and was holding a small dog that was resting on her chest. The line of people in the aisle got backed up, so she stood in front of me for about 90 seconds which allowed me time to brainstorm where I knew her from: I think we used to talk on Instagram a couple of years ago, but she blocked me after I told her that she deserved an upgrade in boyfriends. I wasn't sure if it was the same girl. The Instagram girl had giant mammaries - almost to the point of being grotesque - and this girl had a form-fitting zip up sweatshirt, so it was hard to tell.

As she passed, I started ransacking my burner Instagram account to find her page, which I was successful in doing. I wanted to see if I could find a match with the dog, and I did, so I knew it was her. I saw that she graduated law school and that her mother had passed last year. I saw that she was now taking care of her mother's dog. I knew I was going to talk to her after leaving the plane, but I also knew if she asked for my Instagram name, I couldn't give it to her, as that would show her I was the guy she used to talk to and blocked. I also couldn't use anything as an "in" from her Instagram page, because with her hundreds of thousands of followers, she would know that I was just manipulating something that I saw on her page.

So I needed another in. I went to her Facebook page which only had about 500 friends, and it was public, so I was able to read more personal information about her. There, she went into more specifics about her mother passing. Included in that information was that she was routinely seeing a feather in random places, and she felt that was her mother communicating to her (similarly, after my brother's passing, I also saw random feathers). And at that moment, I knew that I had my in.

Since I disembarked first (first-class, because ya' know, wealthy), I had to decide where to wait for her. I knew if I I waited right outside of the gate, that would seem odd and too aggressive. I also noticed she had no luggage on the plane other than the dog, which meant she would have to go to the baggage carousel. So I waited there. A few minutes after she arrived, I walked over and asked if I could pet her dog. Hot girls are used to getting hit on, so many of them make it a habit of wearing headphones even if they aren't listening to music. It gives them an excuse to act like they didn't hear a guy trying to talk. And she was one of those hot girls with the giant head phones.

I said "I know this is strange, and I wouldn't normally approach a person about this, but when you were boarding the plane, the line stopped with you standing right next to where I was sitting. While you were standing there, I noticed a feather that was half on your dog's head and half on your shirt. There was obviously no wind since we were on a plane, and neither you nor the dog were moving, yet I watched as the feather went from your shirt directly onto my lap in a beeline. And normally, that wouldn't be anything particularly noteworthy to me, but a couple of years ago, I lost my brother, and since then, I would see random feathers in places they normally wouldn't be . . . "

I couldn't finish that sentence before her jaw dropped, she had ripped off her headphones, and a big smile came across her face. She went on to tell me about her mother, the feathers, and everything I was already aware of due to me having read her Facebook post from about nine months ago.

We continued talking. She was landing in Dallas to visit her boyfriend for a few days before Christmas. We talked more, I then told her it was nice talking to her about our shared grief, and then she said "hey, we should exchange numbers, because that's a very odd coincidence." So she handed me her phone, I called my own phone to capture my number, and we said bye.
I told some of my senior leaders who report to me about the exchange, because they are used to my debauchery. Some were surprised it worked even to that level, others are used to what I can pull off, yet some said it had no chance of ever turning into more.

I waited a week before reaching out to her on Christmas, at which point I texted the below message. She then posted the exchange on her Instagram page, which I screenshot and sent to my senior managers, and as one of the females said "WTF, how does this stuff work for you"?

So my question to you all, is am I going to hell for manipulating her grieving her mother? Or am I going to heaven for doing a good deed by giving her hope, a smile, and an outlet to share her grief? It's only a matter of time before she ends it with her boyfriend and starts thinking about how that feather being pushed to me was a sign from her mother about where she should go.

How can any of you be a fan of tiger? He is a huge, giant pussy. How many different injuries can he have to save face when he keeps having bad rounds?

I made this complaint years ago and listed all of the injuries that pulled him out of bad days. This is his fifth time in three years he has had to withdraw in the middle of a tournament because of these mysterious injuries. This is not a physically grueling activity.

What a joke.

Rustic frog in new Albany. Been there or heard of it?

Is a girl who still occasionally rides a skateboard for fun too young to bed?

Hypothetically speaking, of course.

i love this night . . . not because i get to see a bunch of hot slvts in lingerie. i can see a lot better than that any day for free on my computer or in person. i love tonight because every year, without fail, i get random texts from girls i rarely talk to. they ask if i am watching the show, then they follow it up with their own lingerie selfies in thongs/handbras/boyshorts.

two girls have already done it tonight. i dont prompt it by texting them first, asking for their own VS pictures, or anything like that. and im not talking about girlfriends or slvts im talking to. these are just girls who want the dick. sadly, one of them is married.

oh, well. time to punish people for it and make things right. stay tuned.

1) Old people, why do you wear jeans and regular clothes to the gym? 25 years ago, I could understand it. At that time, 60 - 70 year olds were born in the '30s or '40s. When they grew up, athletic wear didn't really exist. But 65 year olds today? They were in their 20s and 30s when athletic wear really started to boom, so they are familiar with it and had to have worn it in their younger years. So why do these fools show up in jeans, corduroys, chinos, buttoned shirts, etc. now? It can't be comfortable. It has to be awful to sweat in. This isn't a financial issue. These people live in million dollar+ houses and drive luxury cars. They can afford a pair of sweatpants. Today, this 70+ year old woman showed up in the gym wearing jorts and a buttoned shirt to get on the treadmill and elliptical.

2) Children's lemonade stands - you're an asshole if you don't give them business, but what are you supposed to do in this area? Every single day, no matter where I walk, there are kids with a stand selling homemade lemonade, homemade bracelets, popsicles, soda/candy. And these little bastards aren't cheap - they are piranhas. A can of LaCroix, which probably cost their parents less than $1 each when purchased in a case, is being sold for $3. The "sorry, I don't have any cash on me" excuse doesn't fly, because they all take Apple Pay. I don't drink homemade shit from other people, so I don't even want the lemonade. I'm spending $20/month at these stands just because I know that when these little pricks advance from their current eight year old age to 15, if I don't give them business, my house will be getting egged. It's a mafia-style shakedown by kids who can't even grow pubes yet.

i have mentioned it before on here, but years ago, a colleague and i invested in a handful of baltimore shell row houses to flip. he had been successful in hiring former felons in work release programs to do most of the labor on properties he had flipped previously. if they missed a day unexcused, they knew they were going back to jail. almost all of them were thankful that somebody would hire them and give them a solid day's pay. they were cheap and good workers. shells were going for $5000-$35,000, and the properties were selling in a month for around $160,000. at the time, we looked into doing the same thing in detroit, but decided against it.

this article talks about how cheap properties are in detroit (and have been for years). one very young kid owns a block of properties. that is fine. but, where the issue lies is that many of those properties arent vacant. the houses have tax liens on them. many of them are sold on the steps of the courthouse for just a few thousand dollars. the residents are forced out with no place to turn.

could you guys do this? im sure you can justify it to yourself; those people decided to spend their money elsewhere or decided not to work instead of paying their taxes. why should they get a free ride when everyone else has to pay taxes? i couldnt do it to people though.

could you guys?

I met this little slvt from around the way (shoutout to 1990s LL Cool J). I've gone out with her a handful of times. Messed around with her yesterday for the first time. But, I have absolutely no idea what her name is. Now, that isn't an unusual occurrence for me. But, when I hook up with a girl without knowing her name, it is usually a one night thing; I meet 'em and play that night with no follow up communication. However, with this one, I actually hung out with a bunch of times before getting her naked. It is way past the point of me being able to apologize and explain I didn't catch her name.

I'm friends with her on Facebook, but her name on there is a joke (i.e., "Alotta Shaken"). I've read through the comments on her Facebook pics/page to see if her friends have used her name. Nope. I've Google searched her cell number. Nope. While she was showing the waitress her ID at lunch yesterday, I think they thought I was having a seizure trying to contort myself to be able to read the name on her ID without it being obvious. When she went to the bathroom, I thought about going through her purse to look at her license, but was scared she would come out or another patron/worker at the restaurant would see me rummaging through her purse and would look extremely shady. She is an interpreter for the federal government, so I can't exactly track her down through her employment.

It's gotten so bad that I had to make a cheesy joke and claim I was going to make that her nickname now, so I used that all day.

Besides asking her what her name is after she has already swallowed millions of my future Heisman winners, what can I do?

is there a cooler, more underrated musical team than daryl hall and john oats? those mother fvckers dont get enough credit.

there has to be quite a bit of gray area on this. police seizing assets for criminal activities has always been a sticky situation with me.

in this case, a minority owner of a hotel was convicted of videotaping and photographing a 13 year old boy undress. as a result, the hotel was sold and his interest ($400,000) was given to law enforcement.

i can understand if the guy was making money from criminal activity and those assets were seized. i can understand if the asset was being used for criminal activities of the owner. but, this could have been a one-time situation that results in all owners losing the hotel.

what if i owned a legitimate company, sold a dime-bag in my office to a friend, and we got busted? this cant be that subjective, can it?

What about the resident liberals? Anything? Anything? Bueller? Bueller?

Ok...Is this acceptable for any of you? Why don’t voters deserve to know a presidential candidate’s position on one of the most important topics of our time? I never bash Biden on here...we all know I’m voting for Trump. But, this is a big deal. My guess is that he knows voters will reject his position, hence his refusal to state it.
