This is how it looked here 3 days ago, thank God it’s 14°C today. I hate the cold and I know soon enough I will back in the Winter Wonderland Hell of Vancouver. I bought here to get away from the Winters of Vancouver. I know it’s not hot in Vegas in the winter but damn snow?! Argh!!! Thanks it only happens once in a blue moon, and the snow didn’t stick, and the next day it was back to a mild 14°C.
eeps it snowed in Vegas? Yeah and it sucked, it never stuck but still!
a sprinkle of snow on the local mountains here in Vegas…
Two days later it was 15 , and it will be the rest of the week, Thank God!
looks like the observatory in Vancouver? Yeah a house, scary I know and damn ugly….
America is a f*cked up place, they go to Afghanistan and Iraq to help people but in their own backyards they have some amazing problems. While surfing YouTube.com a few years back I typed in “Detriot ghettos”, this was before the “recession”. Most people know that Detroit is the biggest dump of sh*t in the USA. If you compare Iraq to Detroit they almost look just as bad, it’s completely insane. Ans, since the recession things in Detroit have gotten much, much worse. Think of all the bailouts to the auto manufacturers, well they all went to Detroit based car companies such as GM, Ford and Chrysler. There are tons of layoffs and unemployed in the Motor City..
Next time you support US troops think again, the U.S. government should be cleaning up at home before they go over seas to“help people” , steal oil. There is no money in helping people but there sure is in oil sales.
You need to see these videos to appreciate where you live, unless you live in Detroit.. Oh and Detroit is also America’s most dangerous city. On Halloween in Detroit they call it “Devils Night“, which has since since stopped because it got so out of control in 1984 that teens burned 800 of the abandoned homes that line the streets of Detroit’s neighbourhoods. Unreal this is in the USA.
It’s been a stressful trying to get lots of stuff before going to Vegas, and I can’t handle stress very well. So yesterday the branch manager for VanCity on Hastings Street/ Kamloops Street in Vancouver calls me. Hi “I’m so and so from VanCity”. Then, she starts asking what my business is. “I do internet marketing”. The she asks “What EXACTLY do you market on the internet?”. I start thinking, What does she mean by that? Ok, I explain I buy ads online and I promote products for various companies and I make a commission every time I make a sale. The she says “When is a convenient time for you to come in, I would like to meet you.” I thinking WTF. I ask her why do I need to come in, can’t you ask me your questions on the phone? I’m really busy and I don’t have time.” “I really need to see you in person”, she says.
She was really pissing me off, I have NOTHING to hide but why do I need to come? “Is there a problem?”. “No”, she says “I just need to ask you a few questions in person”. Ok, I’ll come in get this crap over with. I get down there in like 10 minutes and she start asking certain companies names I deal with such as Convert2Media, and who they are. The she asks why I am using a currency exchange place on Granville Street to convert large sums of money from US to Canadian currency. I’m thinking why the f*ck is that your business?
Convert2Media is one of many affiliate networks who send checks to me for the salea I make for the products I promote on the internet. I had to explain who a few other companies I deal with are as well, such BULLSHIT. And, The currency exchange place is so I can make an extra 2-3 cents for every U.S. dollar I exchange into Canadian funds”. “They give me 3 cents better for every dollar than VanCity does”, I tell her. That why I use it.
“Why are you asking me these type of questions, you’re making me feel bad and I have done absolutely nothing wrong”, I tell her. “Oh sorry to make you feel that way, I didn’t mean to do that”, b*tch says.
“I didn’t know what type of business you did so I needed to get you to come and answer some questions”. Umm yeah ok and? “Well why did you ask me, and make me feel like I did some type of criminal activity?” I appologize about that, we need to make sure you aren’t laundering money.
Are you fucking kidding me? Since I’m doing good for myself now I’m a money launderer?!
Anyways, I was just super pissed about her dragging me in to ask all that BS. Yes I realize it’s her job, but she called 4 weeks ago asking what my business was and so on. I never went in 4 weeks back because I didn’t want to waste my time on some peon who think she runs the show cause she is a branch manager at VanCity, grr. I figured she was going to ask some stupid questions, and that’s why I never wanted to meet her in person. I never had anything to hide and still don’t. Ask me anything you want, just because I make lots of money working from home makes me suspicious?!
Dear Vancity,
You’re lucky I don’t take all my money and go to another bank, but I’m too lazy to move all accounts, lucky for you assh*les. Your Hastings Street branch manager is a real snag…
I hope this post ranks high in Google for the keyword “Vancity Savings”, bunch of tards.
I woke up pretty early 6:am since my daughter knows my early wake up schedule and beats me to the punch, I have been bringing her along in the stroller for my morning walks. I knew today was going to be a useless work day since one of my media ad buys is all f*cked up. I was making a ton of cash off of it, then the ad server database screwed up or something and my ads basically stopped running. I went from $1000s per day to a few hundred as of right now. It will get fixed I guess one way or another but damn. Anyways no point dwelling on it , since I can’t change and it wasn’t my fault at all.
Oh also a note to all you online ad agencies and anyone who needs to be able to be reached, list a f*cking phone number on your site! And…. Make sure your emails work, when they start bouncing back as invalid address or whatever I start to lose it! I want to spend $20,000 per month with you and I can’t even reach you? Not smart jackass!! I’m on limbo partly today because of this, I cannot buy more ad space and this means lower profits until this fiasco is resolved. Thank God for simple morning walks, nothing can go wrong I walk and that’s it. If I fall I get back up.
Computers are heaven and hell!
Luckily next week I will be chilling in the heat of Las Vegas Nevada. Oh the joy I feel of having something relaxing to look forward. I will be working of course but in a drier, warmer place. And instead of nightly drives to Tim Horton’s drive thru, I can cruise down Las Vegas boulevard (The Strip). It will be nice…….
Now some random pics of random stuff, because I am very random guy.

No Comments »What the hell is wrong with PayPal. They have fraud prevention that actually stops honest people like me from being able to pay. I have done everything they wanted, I added and confirmed my bank account. They want you to add a bank account so they can verify you are an actual person and not using some type of stolen credit card or whatever to open up and account with them, fine.
I did that!
Then I kept having problems saying I need to verify the credit card I was using? Are you f*cking serious, fine! I verified my credit card with PayPal. I tried to make some payments to online advertisers and still I have problems. I call up PayPal and tell them I have verified my credit card, I have attached and verified my bank account so they know I’m a “real person”. They tell me their is nothing they can do and this is done automatically when they PayPal system detects something fishy with the transactions and I should just try again within 2-3 hours.
Basically their fraud prevention, is preventing honest people from being able to pay online, stupid morons. Even if they want to, they can’t allow individuals transactions to go through, it’s all computer automated. Apparently a computer system is smarter than a human being now.
It blows me away that online fraud has gotten to the point where it’s slowing down and stopping legitimate online e-commerce transactions from being able to happen. PayPal you need to get your head out of your ass, and find a better solution. Some of the online advertisers I deal with allow wire transfers and that is the next route I will be taking. I would rather NOT wire $ 5,000 or $10,000 to online advertising network so I can buy traffic to my sites. It does make me a bit nervous but having balls is all part of the game of life, my balls have gotten me pretty damn far. You can’t too far if your’e living in fear or scared. Anyways, if PayPal doesn’t want my business then F*CK YOU PAYPAL.
That is my rant for today…. PayPal sucks
If you type PayPal into Google on the first page there is a site called PayPalsucks.com and the whole site is all about how sh*tty PayPal is. PayPal tried to have the site taken down but no luck and good they didn’t. The Internet is about free speech and no one should be able to censor anyone’s right to voice their own opinion!
