Pure Rant - 08-11-2007, 01:31 AM


What is up with all the "photographers" on Craigslist looking for free student photographers to give them CDs with unedited images BECAUSE... "we are photographers and can edit them ourself." I came across at least 3 ads like this tonight, they all said something like, "if I could shoot my own wedding I would." I wonder if they shoot weddings for free and then burn them.

<end rant>

Feel free to hijack the thread and rant about something totally unrelated.

I guess that's what I get for leaving the "Casual Encounters" board.

Oh yeah, and I got stood up by a bride in f*ing HARRISBURG a couple weeks ago. You know how far that is from me?! That's like driving to Houston from Austin.

Well.. No wonder you're checking out the "Casual Encounters" board. Anything in Harrisburg?

Just to clarify for the audience, I did not meet my bride in Casual Encounters.

Harrisburg is just a carbon copy of every other city. The DMV is really fast there, tho. But hey, that's a rave, not a rant. I gotta cancel it out...hmm...

Restless Leg Syndrome really bites!!! I get it from being on the darn computer and not exercising. Well, tomorrow I have a wedding so I'll get the exercise but do I really need the insomnia tonight?



I need new smilies!!! GRRRRRAAAAAARRRRRRRRR

I was actually suggesting checking that board out just in case you needed to kill some time after a no show.

I know, just didn't want to confuse the lurkers.

I looked, there ain't nuthin' on there but a bunch of phallic images. (PC term used there)

Tell me about it. It's a real blast when you are alone and every 911 line lights up and the officers are yapping on the radio like it's a CB.
