The Deception of An Old Mate

Today, I achieved something that I'm not exactly sure that I am proud of... You see, I have an old mate that I used to talk to very often, I would work on ideas with him, he used to record my music for me. Well, eventually, as most mates often do when the time comes, we fell out and now do not speak... So, in an effort to seek a little fun-filled, hilarious revenge, I sent an email to his business email, asking him of his services. Obviously, the naive "business man" should do a little research on potential business partners. You see, I created a company located in East Miami, Florida out of my imagination, created a fake email, along with a fake CEO. So far, it has proven successful and I can only watch in amazement and in a fit of laughter as this old mate digs his own grave in deceit. I will post the emails from time to time so that many of you can watch with your very own eyes.

Have a lovely day.

What the Hell, Twitter?

Dear Twitter,

Okay, so, today, I was mingling around online, and I just so happened to decide to try and restore my old twitter account "@johnaustin" and what happens??? You guys give me an error message stating, "thanks for noticing-we'll fix this right up and have things back to normal soon." So, tell me, dear, what happened? What is this? I don't get it. I shall try again later and trust me, if it happens again, I think that this will be the end of us. Sorry, love, but that's how it has got to be. Have a lovely evening.

Cheers.

The Tudors has got to be one amazing show. I absolutely love it. Although im behind by nearly 6 months, I'm finishing up Season 3 with episode 7 of 8.

Cheers.

Welcome Back

So, as many of you loyal readers know, I go through phases where I will update periodically and then all of a sudden, I won't post anything for months. Perfect example: my last post. From June 9, 2009 when I posted from the beach until today was 6 months and 16 days. For this, I am terribly sorry. I promise to post more often these days. Just a little update with life, since my last post, Rachel and I have been back together since July, I have lost my MacBook, I have moved from China Spring to the San Antonio area, I have become the manager of a restaurant, and last but not least, I have been accepted to Texas Lutheran University in Seguin, Texas. That's about it. So, to you loyal readers, I pray you to continue your never-ending interest in my pointless rants. Cheers.

Walking along the beach + drinking root beer from a tab = Awesomeness.

At&t called about my wireless service. I wonder why this is. They asked about my mother. Weird. Thats something that really sets me off the coaster...

An Open Letter to Myspace

Dear MySpace,

How have you been? I know it's been a while now since we've spoken, I've just been so busy with work and life... and Facebook. Now, before you get upset, I just want you to know that things aren't like you think they are... she's great. I'm not comparing you two together, but I am saying that she gives me more than you ever did. You're not a bad catch... it's not you, it's me... well, actually it is you. I'll spare you the BS. It's all the advertisements and all the spam and fake accounts. Believe me, what we had was great... while it lasted. It's just that Facebook... she's so sophisticated and she knows what she wants. I think I love her. I'm just pointing it out very clear that I am a maturing man who has needs and has to have a place to escape to during the day. You were there for me so many times, yes, but then you started advertising stupid rip-off products and kept telling me things I didn't want to hear about how a "celebrity model" in my local area wants to hook up. It just became to much. I needed more class than you could provide... so that's why I'm with Facebook now. Don't cry, you'll be fine. There are LOADS of punk emo middle school kids who can't wait to put up their flashy pictures and shitty music and rant on about things such as parties and who did what, when, and where. I'm so sorry, MySpace.

I am confident that you'll move on as I have. You'll find someone else. I just know it. If you ever need anything... I'll be on Facebook... Have a good one, my dear MySpace. You were always so great to me, but you just didn't take the cake. I pray you a great life and may you meet many new people.

Good day to you.

Why Some People Will Fail (Epically)

Today's society consists of all different kinds of people. Most of the time, you can pick out which ones are which, you can (both voluntarily and involuntarily) categorize them into social groups, placing them in different groups and what not, within seconds. In the event of this happening, chemicals in your brain are released which heavily influence your attitude and level of respect to that person.

Example: A man who makes $300,000 per year is driving his Aston Martin down the street. He pulls into a gas station where he is approached by another man. This man is homeless, dirty, smells bad, and has no sense of style, fashion, or any sort of degree or any classifications whatsoever. The homeless man, being one of the most honest and loving people to be in existence asked the rich man for a dollar. The rich man, who when approached by this man, automatically (because of the chemicals released in his brain) decides that this man is not worth anything and for the sole fact that he is homeless and poverty-stricken, he must not be worth shit and that if he was going to get any help, in whatever form it may be, he would not use it to his advantage, but to an assumed addiction or problem. The lesson to be learned here is that the rich man, a man of deception and greed is the beneficiary in this case. Although he does not deserve it, he is the one who has the money, nice car and house. The homeless man, however, is the one does nothing and therefore gets nothing. He is to wander around aimlessly, starving and under the weather.

It's never fair when this kind of situation happens, (it really does) but one thing for certain is that when it boils down to it, we are all the same. A man driving an Aston Martin will burn in Hell as much as the thieving homeless man. All we can do is hope and pray for the best. And when everything simmers down, we all will truly see why some people will fail. (epically)

Update On A Soppy Few Subjects...

And so... after one week and two days of being alone, with no girlfriend since two years ago, I feel incomplete. I feel as though I hate my life and there is nothing that can make me happy again unless we get back together. Well... it seems that we are. This has made me very, very, very happy. We have been talking for a few days now, and it is looking like we may give it another shot. To the very few people who actually read this, I know that this is an extremely soppy subject. Oh well. No one reads this blog anyway.

To start on another note, I have lost the place where I reside. You see, when Rachel and I broke up, I was kicked out of her house. (Just a side note, the reason this all happened was because of something I did. Yes, I am taking blame for everything that happened, and no, not because she is the girl and I am madly in love with her, but because it really was my fault.) So, as I was saying, I was kicked out of her house so now I have been staying with a few friends. One during the week and another on the weekends. Blasphemy, isn't it? Well, really, if you were to ask me, I would say that in no way am I in the position to say that what has happened is blasphemy for it is my own fault. In the sense that I do righteously claim that this past week is blasphemy, I am only allowed to say this because I can look back upon my actions and know that I was fully in the wrong.

Last but not least, I also lost my job. You see, I am a full time student. Therefore, my job was a part-time job. Now, you may ask "John, what's the big idea with that? So, what?" well, my loyal readers, the reason that this is so signifigant is because my girlfriend's dad was the owner of the place that I worked at, in result, he was my boss. And so, on that fateful day of March 26, 2009, at approximately 5:45 PM, (in order of importance) I lost my girlfriend, my job, and the roof over my head. What a sad day in my life, that was.

Moving on to a new subject, my new channel (on Youtube, www.youtube.com/pfeschdesign ) has, since its grand opening only 3 weeks ago, has already reached 116 views. I have 7 subscribers. Now, seven may not sound like a lot, but it is. Especially for someone like me, who can only check the channel on the weekends and what not. So, in 21 days, I have achieved 116 channel views, 7 subscribers, and a total of 149 video views. Now, that's not really that great, considering the 149 views is spread out over five different videos. Oh well. I am happy with how this is all turning out. I only hope that it continues to grow. Up and up and out and out.

For some people, this is a very simple thing to do, but for others, it is literally Hell on the neurological system. Right now, at exactly 2:00 AM on Sunday, April 5, 2009, with less than 48 hours left until a 700 word essay is due on Jonathan Swift's use of satire in Gulliver's Travels, I have written only the first paragraph, and this being the only thing that I have written is not even a completed introduction to my essay. Any help out there? I would certainly appreciate it. Maybe I can jump onto the back of a whale and go deep down into the ocean where I will find the answer. Oh well. haha. I most certainly do apologize if this blog turns out to be nothing more than rubbish, I am incredibly tired, and with that being said, once it hits a certain amount of time where I haven't had any sleep, my mind starts to attempt to shut me down, and in mid-sentence, as i start dozing off, I will start to say the most random things. Example: "Maybe I can jump onto the back of a whale..." I didn't mean to say that, but i do remember thinking it. Savvy, no? Well... it is.

In the event that things do turn out as bad as they possibly could have turned out, then things may not be as well as they surely once should have been. In the words of some blogger that I read over a few years back:

"Headphones save lives... I recently just recovered from a bad case of chicken-pox; I want to eat oatmeal, not bathe in it..."

With that being said, that guy really proves an excellent point; that point being that oatmeal was created for the human body's nourishment and health, not to be a sure-fire way to cure chicken-pox.

It is now 2:24 AM and I no longer have any idea on what else to write, for when I create a new blog/vlog, rarely do I write down my ideas/points. Usually, I just think of them and after that, I just let it flow. Sadly, nine times out of ten, I end up leaving something out, forgetting something, and really just get frustrated because it always seems to be something important. Something that really gives a vertebrae of the backbone to the whole thing and its importance of even being in existence. With that being said, I am now ending this blog in the hopes that this all made sense. Cheers, mates.

P.S. The video attached is one that was taken with my MacBook in the dentist's office with my then-girlfriend Rachel. Isn't she just so incredibly cute? I think so. Me, however, I could use a few makeovers, eh?

My New YouTube Channel

I have decided to go a step further than just writing. No one really reads this stuff anyway, so hey, why not try to get viewers instead of readers. I'm willing to bet that in five years, only 10 people will see this blog. What a shame, what a shame. Hope you guys enjoy.

My New MacBook

Today is March 13, 2009, and at 11:17 a.m. I bought my Macbook. Exactly one month after my post concerning my plan on saving for it, it is finally here. It is rather funny how it works. Kind of cool at the same time. My last post was quite short, for again, I was just giving a detailed description on my new MacBook. 

I never thought that this day would come so fast. I am really impressed with it. I hope to use it to its fullest for the next four or five years. 

2.4 GHz

2 GB DDR RAM

13.3" Screen

Aluminum Uni-body casing

Illuminated Keyboard

Mac OS X 10.5.6 Leopard

$1,730.92

This is a great computer (as ALL Macs are) I wouldn't trade it for the most decked-out PC ever. According to my philosophy, PC stands for something. And that something is Piece of Crap.

New Macbook

So, I have been saving up for a new Mac lately. I was thinking it is
time I step up a little responsibility and do something for myself. So
far, I have $436.47 saved up. The total cost of this model, Macbook
2.4 GHz with Leopard, illuminated keyboard, super drive and 2GB of RAM
is $1700. I have $1300 to go. Wish me luck!

The Class of Cigar Smoking

Subject: The Class of Cigar Smoking

Tobacco is smoked all over the world, many different ways, whether rich or poor, in a cigarette, cigar, or pipe, it is still tobacco. However, like Hondas or Lambourghinis, Cigars come in mnay different shapes, lengths, as well as price. A cigar on eBay, manufactured in the early 1800's, belonging to Abraham Lincoln at one point, sold for $16,000. Maduro's "Camachos" tend to be my personal favorite, for they're very rich in taste, while leaving a slight after taste, which isn't bad. It is very smooth, has a nice burn as well as smell, and is slow burning. If you're one who likes to sit and really enjoy a cigar for a while to relax or unwind, I suggest this cigar. When I was 17, I had a friend who worked at a convenience store that would sell me the $.69 Phillies Blunts. I thought these were great until I finally turned 18 and was able to finally buy cigars on my own. I have tried all of the cigars above at a local convention and I rate them as follows:

1. Victor Sinclair Sidewinder: 3 out 5.
    A very nice cigar, price is good. could be better. Nice drag, not too loose, but almost too resistant, but feels okay. Burns for approximately 35 minutes.

2. Maduro's Comacho: 5 out of 5.
   My personal favorite. Has the perfect drag, great taste, excellent fragrance, not too thick, slight after-taste which is not bad in the least bit.

3. Cusano 18: 2 out of 5.
   I'm no cigar critic, but I do know a bad cigar when I taste one. these are terrible and no one should buy them. They burn for approximately 10 to 15 minutes, and leave a terrible after taste which ruins any food or drink you may consume for the next hour.

4. 601: 4 out of 5:
   Great cigar. Great taste. Great Drag.

5. Criollo: 1.5 out of 5:
    The cigar feels loose and breaks very easily. In my opinion, the tobacco could be packed a little tighter, and the cigar wrapped with more care for the cigar itself. I dropped this cigar on a carpeted floor and the lead broke and nearly 20% of the tobacco fell out of the end. The cigar has a so-so taste and a little worse of an after taste. Has a nice drag, but a little loose, most likely due to the poor packing.

Inevitable Perversions of Female Charcters: Lara Croft, Tomb Raider

Ever since I was 10 years old, I have loved the whole Tomb Raider
series. Lara Croft, a fictional female British archeaologist, created
by Toby Garb(who later left Core Design because of the sexuality
marketed with Lara), in 1996, was the number one female video game star for the next 5 years, and is just now making a strong return with
her latest adventure told in "Tomb Raider: Underworld". Lara was an
inspiration to me, as I'm very interested in ancient civilizations and
history. However, with the innocent game and comic book series, Lara
eventually was turned into, by society, a sex symbol, a sexual fantasy
for many, and her once known image as a noble adventurer was invaded
with such media such as the image below. Here, Lara is naked in a
swimming pool, and has a friend over, who is obviously nude as well,
and based on the conversation, there are indications of female
homosexuality between the two. This is bollocks. Pure bloody rubbish.

Lara Croft is a noble adventurer, a gaming icon, a hero to many that
has been marketed far too well as a sex symbol. Society is coming
down. And for this, we should be ashamed.

To Catch Up On A Few Things

It's been a while since my last post. Funny thing is, is that it wasn't my fault. Not completely, that is. You see, here is how it happened.

After my last post, which I sent from my iPod touch, I completely forgot my login password. I just could not remember it. I tried everything that I could think of. It was insane. I could not believe it. Finally, yesterday, I found the piece of paper that had my login on it, and I then successfully logged in. I was so delighted. After a few hours, I have decided to let you in on what has been occurring these past few days. I have just started my senior year of High School. I am down to my last year of childhood. Sure it is sad, but I'm preparing to the best of my abilities to get it done.
I have learned how to hack extremely weak websites. If anyone has ever heard of www.ericludzenski.com, that website has been visited by me, but of course, the owner of that website is a friend of mine, so no damage has been done. On another note, learning to hack websites is not as easy as I thought it was going to be.
I enrolled into a multimedia class where I can shoot photos, film, create animations, and even create an professional quality advertisement for a fake product.
I have been especially delighted these past few days because I have great news. My girlfriend and I have reached our year-and-a-half mark, and I received a silver ring from her which I wear most prominently.
My English Mastiff pup, which I got back in June, has now grown to a whopping 66 pounds after only 5 months of life. She is 2 ft. 9 in. from floor to the top of her back, she is 3 ft, 2 in. from nose to tip-of-tail.
I bought a car. It's a piece of crap, but it'll do for a short while. I spent $400 on a 1989 Chrysler Plymouth, and only had to buy a new battery and a little gas, which is basically a steal for a whole car, especially the good condition that it is in.
I have released a new music album entitled, John Honea Presents: The Pope. It has nine tracks, and has covers of Radiohead's Creep, Coldplay's God Put A Smile Upon Your Face, Muse's Soldier's Poem, and System of a Down's Soldier Side.
It has been a few weeks, but this blog has become somewhat rather smothered by other events and such, and has, unfortunately become more of a hassle than it has been worth. Blogs wont' be as frequent, but they will surely be posted from time to time.
Cheers, you lot.

The Quote of Major Motivation

"Everyone must remember that they're going to be dead soon. "
-Steve Jobs, CEO, Apple, Inc.

**The Mac Guy**

Apple's Big Fail with the iPhone 3G

As many of you know, Apple's much unexpected failure in delivering the anticipated iPhone 3G shocked the nation, as well as much of the rest of the countries debuting the not-so-fancy-now-are-ya iPhone. With Apple's CEO Steve Jobs running around on stage at the iPhone 3G keynote promoting this godly device, people went crazy over the speed, price, and capabilities of the iPhone. What's the big idea here? Apple, being one the leaders in the U.S. marketing squad, surely they must have had the intelligence to plan some sort of preparation for the million + customers coming to get the phone. If they are proud and big enough to boast this new device, then surely they must be able to back up their word, and follow through. In many cases, all over the nation, disappointed customers waited in long lines to get new phone were turned away and were told to activate the phones at home, only to be disappointed again, because the iTunes server locked up from being constantly hit with activation after activation. So to Apple... Its Showtime. Ha. Showtime for what?... to see how many suckers get caught up in the mess Apple can dish out? My Advice? Wait a few days, and try again.

As customers were turned away, more and more people, helpless to Apple's crappy service were left with either an unactivated 3G iPhone, or were stuck with a brick when they tried to update their 1st-Gen iPhones with the iPhone 2.0 Software. (which also uses the iTunes server, so they too were on the same boat as the 3G users.) Just as the picture shows on the left at an AT&T store, iTunes began locking up after a few moments of the iPhone being released. As you can see, the man on the left is waiting patiently as his computer fails to activate the phone. (is that Denise Richards on the left?)

As more and more people begin to finally activate or un-brick their iPhones, Apple will definitely take a blow from this mess. Maybe Apple isn't so great after all... or maybe they have grown too proud, and have failed to serve what they claim they can dish.

***Coming June 28, 2009, the only phone to beat the iPhone 3G... The iBrick. With ultimate paperweight capabilities, an all new brick look, and the same crappy cellular phone that just won't work.***

By the way, I forgot to mention something... I am the proud owner of a 16GB iPhone 3G. :D

Energy Consumption and the Economy

MYTH: California is believed to be one of the highest consumers of energy in the country.
FACT: California is ranked number 2 as one of the lowest consumers of energy in the United States.

However, Texas, being the largest consumer of energy, most of it being Industrial, with its powerplants and factories, is never brought up in a conversation concerning energy consumption. This does not anger me. It amuses me. Where does this "stereotype" come from?

I wonder what would happen to the economy if Texas and California were to switch spots on the graph? Would the economy boost or deflate. Obviously, with inflation occuring in the country this very minute, with gas in Texas nearly $4.25 per gallon, and a gallon of milk nearly $6.oo, we're all headed for an economic downfall. Which... isn't good for the least bit.

Surely there is something we can do. Instead of everyone griping and complaining about the economy, we should demand a change from the government, and change the situation that is causing most of us to suffer. It's not cheap to live these days, so the only thing one can do is keep prices down as low as possible.

Here's an idea: If every single vehicle in the state of Texas alone would be parked in a driveway, and not move again for one week, the amount of gas that would be "saved up" would be tremendous. Think. There are a few million people in Texas, not including kids, meaning, there are a few million motorists as well, which probably use a few million gallons of gas everyday. Now, we'll just use a number. Let's say that in Texas there is approx. 3 million gallons used in ONE day. Now, times that by 7, and you get what... 21.000.000 gallons used per week. Just think. $4.15 times 21.000.000 is $87,150,000. Now take that and apply it rationally to the whole country. It would probably hit 1 billion dollars. If one state can save $8.15 million dollars in one week, imagine what the whole country could do, in effect, allowing gas prices to drop. Just taking a guess, I would say, we could drop gas $1.50 if not more. Tell me what you think. Am I crazy? Or brilliant?
