SPAMMER PSA: shaunmarsh78

Sunday, September 27th, 2009

This is for any community leaders and/or admins of social media websites. Please read on.

Sometimes it’s hard to decide how much personal information to put online. There’s the obvious things like addresses and real birth dates, but what if those things are required to explain something. Either way, I’m going to leave certain parties rather vague in this post.

Thursday, September 3rd, 2009

In case you haven’t met me in real life before, I’m a nice guy. I’m generally nice online too. Unless, my skanky wife Justine has been out all night and forgot to give me some lovin’. See… there… that… I can be funny too. It’s a personal joke that only a handful of you will [...]
