nice guys finish last

(me rant ahead… you were warned)

I’m a nice guy. At least, I like to think so.

So, why am I always the one getting slammed and getting the raw deal?

Tonight I went out with some friends. Quiet night out at the pub. Although, I was driving and therefore kept mostly sober, I picked up the drinks tab.

Another friend had a party to go to in the city, so I left the pub to take him to train station. We missed the train because it took so long to pay the tab, so I offered to take him all the way into the city (almost an hours drive!).
The friend I have staying with us at the mo from QLD and I decided we should go out to the movies rather than return to the pub, which was good.

At the end of the night, I took the friend back home, to sleep in my bed, because they weren’t feeling too well, whilst I went back to the pub to rescue the two friends I’d left at the pub to keep drinking – had to pull one friend away from the party, and then go pick up the other friend from the train station after the party in the city ended.

All in all, I was today’s taxi and although I don’t mind.. the outcome is hilarious: I have nowhere to sleep tonight now! Yay, guess I wasn’t that tired after all?

It’d be okay if the person I’m kinda seeing, who wanted to catch up tonight after work, had followed up on said request.

Stupid life.

in need of a new domain

Sam — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 14:18:08 +0000

Wanting to do some self-marketing today, I’ve gone on a domain hunt. After registering a couple of joke domains, and transferring some of my other domains to a new provider, it doesn’t seem like I’ve really gotten anywhere. Who the hell would want to own my named domains? Check. these. out.
Stupid internet squatters. None of them seem to be in use at all. Blah! I’m stuck on ideas of what to register.

Hey cyberstalkers, any ideas?

Sometimes, I hope so

Some times when I’m bored, I sit here, refreshing this page for hours at a time. Occasionally it has its great one liners which make inspire me. Lots of times, it’s just full of people’s crap…

Anyway, dunno why, but I thought I had to take a screenshot of this one. In case it never gets to be seen again.
