Dumb Ass
So i got this call from a guy today about how his photo was up on my website. Well the picture is a photo of me so apparently I am this other guy. Here is the phone call and e-mail.(All personal information has been removed.)
“Hello this is the real Brandon Duke you have your… my picture on your website. and uh, it says photo by Justin Dukes art network i mean artwork by Zach Mather but that’s my picture so I’m just wondering how you got it and what’s going on so give me a call back my number is… thank you. ” (listen to the message)
That message was then followed by this e-mail, which was sent to me at 5:47pm and then again at 9:22pm.
“From:Duke, Brandon
To: info@brandondukes.com,
Date: Thu, Apr 17, 2008 at 5:47 PM
Subject: just kidding
This is Brandon Duke I called you earlier about the “Borat pic” I was just kidding you can use it if you want I was just messing with you.”
What does that even mean? Is he giving me permission to post myself online? For all those wondering the picture he’s talking about can be found on my other website brandondukes.com. I honestly have no idea how to respond to this… I actually have no plans to respond… Mr Brandon Duke, if you want me to respond then quit being a DUMB ASS.
Things I hate
I have decided to compile a list of things I hate, in no particular order.
- Up-selling, I mean come on RadioShack! If I’m buying a headset jack do I really need batteries or a Bluetooth headset?
- When counting coins and there are the exact amount (or more) coins than in a roll, why the need to open a new roll, come on people.
- When people assume things about others… it’s quite the nasty habit.
- Getting up early.
- Being lied to, the truth hurts but finding out you’ve been lied to tends to hurt more.
- when people assume things.
This is not an exhaustive list quite yet but I’m sure I’ll add more to it later.
If Jesus Had A Tattoo
I had an interesting conversation with a friend a couple of months back he made the comment to me that “Jesus had a tattoo.” Now, as someone coming from a fairly conservative religious background I’ve heard from birth that tattoos are evil and destroy your body. Therefore the thought of Jesus having one would be outrageous, right?
I now realize that tattoos are not “the mark of the beast” they are simply a form of art. We are all unique and we all choose to express it in different ways. As I thought of the idea of what if Jesus had a tattoo what would it be? Well blog community this is your chance to shine, take the poll today!
Also if you have any good ideas for polls let me know as I am launching the poll section of my website with this poll.
The Game
Get a Clue
You do not have a Monopoly on cool
Step away from your daily Operation
And take some Risk
Stay out of Trouble
Sorry life does not always go your way
It’s not one big Candyland
Live your LIFE it’s more than a game
21 till 21
It just dawned on me that in 21 days from today I will be 21 years of age. This is just one of those interesting things that only happen once a lifetime really. Maybe it’s just that I’m super excited for my 21st birthday. Yes, I’m a little scared to I hear after you turn 21 it’s all down hill, or maybe it’s all up hill, or is it over the hill and what is it with this metaphorical hill anyway?
Well keeping that in mind I’ll leave you with this quote “[life] it works so much better when you follow though”
