I wanted to quickly add some rules of life.
8. Don't be that guy. That guy is the one who wears his Puddle of Sum Rejects Hero Romance T-shirt to the PSRHR concert. He also jumps up and down and cheers for the souvenirs expelled from the air gun, and vomits in public places after heavy drinking. Don't be that guy.
9. Don't trust people who spell chamois "shammy" or sell any product advertised to be a "shammy". I realize that Americans are too lazy to be expected to try to figure out how to pronounce chamois. That's why you call it "Super Cloth" or "Wow Towel". Those are bad examples, but you get my drift. If it makes me feel like an ignorant American to buy something, I don't care how great it is, I can't do it.
10. Horoscopes aren't real and indicate stupidity. If someone asks you what your sign is, unless they are jokingly picking you up, you should deduct respect points in your mind. If you don't need anything from them, feel free to criticize their stupidity publicly. Other things that are fake and can be ridiculed: Ghosts, Magnets that cure diseases, Chiropractors, Psychics, Bigfoot, Loch Ness Monster etc., Heaven, the soul, God, Jesus in a dog's asshole, and most other religious based beliefs.

Ebay, how I hate thee
This can be categorized as a rant. I'm killing time waiting for some training class so I might as well use my time constructively to complain about something.
So after I decided to leave TMobile due to their suckness, I went through a slight fiasco with Verizon, then got my sister to get me a plan in her name to get a discount with them.
I listed my Sidekick on ebay. It's basically new since it's the one they sent me to replace my damaged one. Two people bid on it, both with (1) ratings, which gave me no confidence that I had actually sold my item. The high bid was actually 305 dollars also, which I'd say is 50 to 100 dollars more than I expect it to sell for, although the original bidder put 300 as their maximum bid.
Sure enough, the auction ends and the winning bidder, someone calling himself "anointed88" i.e. my love of Jesus has replaced the rational thinking sections of my brain, wrote me an email to tell me that he didn't want the phone. I sent him an email telling him that was too bad, I guess he would have to re-list it once he got it. After some back and forth during which I told him he shouldn't be using his mother's computer if he can't read and he accused me of trying to extort money from him, I gave up and filed an unpaid item report.
Apparently after you leave one of these reports, you can't leave negative feedback and no one else can actually see that this loser has unpaid item reports filed against him. Ebay claims that if you get too many of these you will be kicked off ebay but I doubt it. They're in the money making business, not the excluding people who pay their bills business.
I really want to fuck up this kid's life, but he's not really all over the internets. He has a christian singles profile, in which he misspells "exersize", and a myspace (www.myspace.com/anointed88) replete with bible quotes. He's also bought quite a few useless pieces of shit lately, like this yin/yang razorblade necklace here and yes it is as awesome as it sounds.
