I like posting random personals ads that I come up with so they don’t get lost into internet oblivion. I had an inspiration the other day and I just had to write this one. Not a great response, but I didn’t expect any. I just posted my creativity in the appropriate forum. 🙂

Why is online dating so difficult? Is it because of the cover of anonymity that people become more inconsiderate and picky? With so many seemingly great men to choose from, women can simply delete or ignore someone who doesn’t fit her perfect ideal. At least in the offline world she would be held accountable for at least saying “no, thanks.” (same goes for men, too) Or am I confusing the issues and is it simply a matter of logistics—that women can’t even reply to all the emails they receive from these sites?

Sometimes it’s possible to make no mistakes and still lose.

This website made me laugh so hard I cried. Seriously.

…I’d seriously consider doing it. It will be two weeks tonight that my car was dropped off at their service center. They still do not have an injection pump for my car. I was told last week that they would have it by last Friday (a week after the first estimate). It was not there. Then I was told today. It was not there. Then I was told tomorrow. You can guess what they’ll say tomorrow. Plus it’ll be at least another day until they get it in my car, assuming they even know how to do that. Plus to get a cheap plane ticket back to Vegas I need about 5 days warning—but I absolutely will not book a return flight until I hear from them that they have the friggin’ IP and are putting it in my car. Their rating with me has slipped from a C to a D. Anyone care to go for an F?

Here’s a fun personals ad that I thought up. I posted it as a bulletin on MySpace and Friendster so my friends can get a kick out of it. :) Who knows, maybe they’ll pass it along to their cute actor friends (who get the joke). At the very least I would hope it demonstrates my creativity and sense of humor.

NOW CASTING: g/f role for new reality

OPEN CASTING CALL for a new reality, “My Girlfriend” Producer/director now holding ongoing open auditions for the following role:

MY GIRLFRIEND (F): Mid to late-20’s, cute, “girlfriend type.” Spunky and upbeat recurring supporting role, with a possibility for contract extension and upgrade to leading co-starring role. Not a lot of lines from leading man but very good screen time. Mostly improvisational dialogue. Some singing/dancing may be required and must move well. Comedic timing is a plus and any special skills will be considered on an individual basis. There is no pay. Credit, copy, and some meals provided. Callbacks TBA. Role open until filled.

I am alone again in my heart. I refer you to a previous entry I made in my blog, of an old poem I once wrote.

I won’t go into the details of what prompted me to post this blog entry. It’s private. I suppose the purpose of this entry is to proclaim my sorrow to the universe in an attempt to get it to pity me and throw me a proverbial bone.

Some word of mouth marketing itself led me to the book Word of Mouth Marketing by Andy Sernovitz. So far I’m enjoying it and learning from it. And here’s some unsolicited marketing from myself to you. (Warning: it’s not all that positive. But it’s free and honest.)

1. Sahara VW Customer Satisfaction Review: POOR

My car broke down in Vegas last week. Actually, I was past Vegas but Sahara VW in Vegas was the closest dealership. It turns out I needed a new fuel injection pump. This was last Monday that my car broke down. They called me the next day and gave me a ridiculously high quote on fixing the IP, plus they wanted to put on a new timing belt, vacuum hoses, and fix the leaky CV boots. I told them, “just the IP, thanks,” and they said it would be until that Friday that they got the part in! So I got a round-trip flight home ‘cause I sure wasn’t going to stay in Vegas for a whole week doing nothing.
