A typical…

Episode out of my life. Imagine it, America, 2009…

It’s Wednesday night and I’m planning on going to bed within the next hour or so. But before I do that I figured I’d check my mail, try to update my-space (see what I did there?) a little bit and see what’s new in the world of the web.

While I’m on myspace I check for an app that allows paypal to run on myspace. In case you haven’t noticed none of the paypal links work there anymore. They apparently decided that it’s all spam or something.
Well it’s highly annoying and I wish I had four thumbs so I could give you four thumbs down myspace!!

Anyhow, browsing through the apps I saw that there is a thing called shopit. It’s an app by shopit.com and it’s a virtual store. It basically lets you set up a little store, put some pictures up with it and choose your method of payment. The best was that it created a widget for myspace that displays said store and let’s people buy stuff from it.

So I thought that’s a good idea and created one. Then I got over exited and told it to link it to Facebook. then my account got changed to a Facebook account and there were login problems.
Smart me just created another account and put it on his myspace. Well the problem was that in order for you to buy from the widget directly you had to sign up for shopit and I figured my customers don’t want to do that. I want paypal! It worked well in the past.

Then I realized that I have a perfectly fine little store on my website, and that people can buy conveniently from there like they used to from my myspace. So I case you would like to buy any of my awesome T-Shirts or the new DVD release of me vs. Brodie Lee with all our matches from our CHIKARA feud, please check it out here:

So back to my story… I ended up deleting my shopit account since I decided I don’t need it.

Funny story you think? Well I thought so too except that after it all was said and done it was 2 hours later and I wanted to be asleep already!
But that’s just me and happens all the time! I see something online, want to try it and then realize I don’t really need it… Same thing happened when I decided to buy some webspace a little over two months ago.
God bless refunds!

Today I woke up with lot’s of energy though! And when I saw I won’t have a Banana (or nana, or naner) for my Müsli I decided to take action and go to the little store that’s conveniently located about 500 yards from my residence. So I still got my great breakfast and now have a way more productive day than I had last night!

Have I mentioned how much fun classes at your local gym are? No? Because I’m about to take one! Until the next time!

Hey, Claudio -- you tell us all about the different coffees you buy -- what do you make when you're at home?
