I’m running out of room for new flair.

You can send me your favorites, but they have to be good enough to bump one of my existing pieces of flair or no one will see them!
Posted in freeliefI’m XP, and I blog too much.
Or at least in too many separate places.
I’m going to attempt to combine all of my blogging pursuits into one giant mix-tape of who I am.
Stay tuned.

CafePress has a new political design contest, where you can create your own t-shirt message in minutes and submit it for a chance to win pretty huge prizes.
Although I have entered a few of my own ideas, I want you to vote for a design that is NOT mine. There are many designs that do not deserve to be a finalist (any reference of a specific candidate is disallowed), but this one does:
Click the “stars” graphic below the image to rate the design with 1 to 5 stars.
There are a lot of ignorant and hateful designs up; names spelled wrong and brutal language. I haven’t seen the N-word used in reference to one candidate, but I’ve seen the C-word used in reference to another. There is so much ignorance out there.
What is worse: there is so much APATHY as well.
“Who cares?” Are you serious?
People died so YOU can vote. People continue to die, today, fighting for the same freedoms we in America too often take for granted.
Do vote, but don’t choose a candidate based on rumors, lies, age, gender, color, religion, sex appeal, net worth or popularity. Visit non-biased sites like FactCheck.org and OnTheIssues.org to see what each candidate is DOING versus what they are SAYING.
Then, either VOTE or STFU for the next 4 years.
I’m XP and I approve this message.

That’s not a good sign.
Posted in freelief10:20 a.m. Enter Alltel store. Greeted with a friendly “Welcome to Alltel!” by an associate helping another customer. Position in line: 3. Annoyance factor: 2.
10:45 a.m. Finally addressed by associate just clocking in for the day. Annoyance factor: 5.
10:47 a.m. Exhibit A: dead phone. Associate establishes phone is D.O.A. and inquires as to cause of death. Unknown, but likely related to obvious cosmetic damage. Places me on corded landline with insurance agent of ancientness.
11:04 a.m. Discover that the insurance on dead phone has been wrong ever since I swapped it with my teenst when associate announces that dead phone will be $95 to replace. NUH-UH. No, fix that. Not my fault. Fix now. Annoyance factor: 9.
11:12 a.m. End call with agent. Associate checks status: FAIL. Agent did not validate claim, no can has new fonez. Calls insurance again. I wait. Annoyance factor: invalid entry.
11:24 a.m. Leave Alltel store with new phone and $50 lighter than 10 minutes ago. Teenst must not break new fonez no more. 6,000 minutes a month = too much minutes. Phone did not get broken, it simply gave up.
