I re-designed my website for WordPress... so I will be moving to that and leaving you all.  I will stop in to comment on friends from time to time, but I do not think I will be posting any time soon.

If you feel a strong desire to read into my life and comment, you can still do that on my site
sweet dreams yall

So everyone here knows that I am not a fan of ebay or paypal, mostly since they made me sign up for a pro membership just to get my money after selling my xbox 360 in january, they made more money off of the sale then I did, but what I read today really chaps my ass.

I trying to decide if I want to donate wikipedia's parent corporation wikimedia.  I was reviewing their financial statments to see where their money went (does the ceo get a $1,000,000 salary, ect).  well I came across the expenses heading on page 5.  I am a bit upset of the $76,545 in travel expenses... sounds like the FL based corporation is making a few trips to the Bahamas every year...

But what is really really pissing me off if the $45,617 per year in pay-pal fees.  Now lets look at ebay, the owner of paypal:
Ebay (10-K)  According to Ebay's 10-K, their payments division (Pay-Pal's division) had a 2005 net revenues of  $1,028,455,000.00 while the firm as a whole had net revenues of $4,544,401,000.00 (P51) (note, values listed on 10-k are in thousands, thus the added zeros)

It just chaps my ass that with all that money they can not offer free paypal service to a cause like wikimedia.

1) I need a person to study with, for the GMAT... test scores are good for 5 years, might as well do it now.  I am not planning on going back for my masters immediatly, but after reading the facebook group "40 things college admissions forgot to tell you about college" I have decided that I really really want to go back.. and hopefully while still young enough to have some fun.  in two years I will be 25... that might be a good time?

2) I need a person to work out with, I hate going alone to the Gym.  I am a mamber of councourse athletic club, so if you are a member there, or want to join, that would be awesome because I hate doing teh same thing every day, it's nice to walk in and be like.. I think I want to swim laps today, or I think I want to go to spin class today, I like the choice, but I also need somone to go with, its very motivating.

3) I need a girlfriend, I am ready for *brace yourself* a long term relationship //Gasph!
Seriously... I just need a girl to spoil right now, the only problem is that I am screwed when it comes to finding a girl... why?  well I was talking with a friend about my perfect woman the other day... I am a very very picky individual... this is what I told my friend I was looking for (slightly modified)...
David Scherer: seeking long term relationship with woman who he can have an intellectual conversation with, must have knowledge or interest in computers, boating, economics, real estate and photography. Candidate must put up with an overly emotional (yet caring) individual who experiences from low self esteem, poor grammar, spelling and severe spending habits.  Potential girlfriend should realize that david is a pushover for women he likes but shall not take advantage of this. Candidate must be of American, Asian, or eastern European decent (extra points if from a former communist country or from a small rual southern town). Individual must have low self esteem, this helps benefit me as I feel more secure in the relationship if candidate feels I am the best they can get. Candidate must like to eat meat, fish and sushi, yet be in relitavly good shape. Likeness to travel a must to a wide variety of places ranging from the west coast to europe and the caribbean, yet candidate must be able to pack on a whim and travel lightly. Candidate should respect me and my time by keeping dates, showing up on time and not making out with other individuals. When candidate’s “time of the month comes” it shall not be an over-encumbering, bed ridden time, they must suck it up and deal with it like the other 1/5 of the world women who currently are experiencing the same thing. Candidate must like going out, this includes a wide variety of functions from debutant balls and charity functions to bars and clubs, though the occasional night at home relaxing is fine, this is much better accomplished during the week, weekends are for going out. Candidate must like going to college football games, this activity will include beer pong, flip cup, tail gating, getting extremely plastered and yelling profanities at the opposing team. Canidate must like staying over, cooking dinner (or watching me cook for her), a good bottle of wine, and guinness.  Canidate can see herself living some place other than Atlanta one day, this includes all of Florida, NY, NY, San Fransicso and London.  Canidate must be within 20 minutes of me or be willing to drive.
Bonus points include individuals who are proficient in: Scuba diving, snow boarding, fishing (must bait own hook), flip cup, Photoshop, PHP, and Mixology.
Bonus points x2 for individuals who: Live in Buckhead, Midtown or Highlands, know what a windlass is, wear Tommy Bahama clothing and know the lyrics to margaritaville.


4)  I need a roomate, or roomates... I know where I think I want to live, and it's a nice two bedroom place off of cheshire bridge rd., but if I can find like 5 guys and get a house in buckhead, I am fine with that, I never got the frat experience, it might be time...

so I am on my lunch break and I am having left over cajun chicken fettucini alfredo.. and I am sitting there thinking, damn.. this really really good.  Then of course I realize that anything soaked in butter, oil and contains like 100g of fat is going to taste damn good.

so I keep eating, and facebooking and I come across a friend who recently had a baby.  I got ill, physically is, upset to my stonach, I had to stop eating.  The baby was cute, and the mother was as beautiful as ever... but ugh... kids.. the mere thought of kids makes me ill really ill, I hate babys. just the thought of them makes me nauseous... very nauseous.
One day... one day in a far off land I might cahnge my mind.. but really... I much rather adopt a 5 year old... or even better... get a dog.

... I still don't feel like I have property expressed how much I hate babies.....

I think I broke my toe tonight carring a girl who ended uo throwing up on me

Look what the bastards sent me in my email.



argg!!! DAVID WANTS SNOW  I have the most sexy snowboard in the world sitting in my closet... I want to be on the side of a mountain with pepermint schnapps in my camel back looking at the scenery, boarding down the slopes, hitting the blues and blacks, scaring myself half to death.  David wants Colorado... David wants fresh powder.  David has no vacation time this winter thanks to his new job.

So there are some thing you must know about me if you are going to be my friend..


1) I am an extremely passive aggressive individual, I take it and I keep it in, so if I get moody, there is a reason.
2) I come in two forms, outgoing, and Shy. In events above 5 people I go quickly from outgoing to shy.
3) When I drink, my goal is to get drunk, not to pick up chicks, not to get my “game” on, my game is getting drunk and I excel at it.
4) I can be various forms of drunk, I am never angry, mean or abusive, however I can get extremely depressed and lonely… I can have an issues with my phone and drunk texting… If you get one of these, you must brush it off your shoulders and it is not to be mentioned.... ever again.
5) I am a very compassionate individual. To a fault, I care about what other people think to such an extent that I often put them before me and as a result things get worse and not better.
6) I have low self esteem, do not mention my weight.
7) If you wish to do something with me, you must make your engagement, I cannot stress this enough. Be there and be on time. Now I have no problem with spontaneity, however we must plan the time the spontaneity begins.
8) I am a push over, thus I almost always fold to the demands of a beautiful woman. Do not take advantage of this.
9) I am very outgoing when drunk, and very flamboyant, but I am not gay. Remember this.
10) I like to buy drinks at the bar. Do not take advantage of this, true friends pick up the tabs as well.
11) If you are going to talk to me online, then do not use brief one word answers, if you are going to take the time to talk to me do not half ass it, brief, one word answers, or leaving with out saying good bye makes me think that something is wrong, and it will ruin my day.
12) My mind likes to wander to bad things, thus, if I call twice, or leave several IMs and I do not hear back I assume you are mad at me for some given reason, and I worry about it. I do this more often than I should.
13) I am a crude, arrogant, and obnoxious individual, and I am not going to change, so learn to live with it, yet despite this I am also very cultured, I have been to cotillion, my sister is a debutant, I can waltz, fox trot, box step. I choose not to do it because I do not like tying tuxedo ties.
14) I have Tourette Syndrome, in my case I “blink hard” this happens when I am stressed out, when I am tired, and when I am drunk. I can also get head and shoulder ticks… my shoulder will jerk a lot. If this happens I need to sleep or distress. Do not mention it unless I bring it up first.
15) I like Florida, I miss Florida, I am only truly home when I am on a boat. As such I often dress as a Floridian does and I do have issues adapting to what one should wear in Atlanta, I like Hawaiian tshirts, that’s just how it is.
16) I like computers, so you must deal with my geekiness
17) Do not talk shit behind my back, do not put words in my mouth.
18) If you have to cancel on me, just tell me, don’t stand me up because you don’t want to tell me no, and don’t make up a lame excuse, I rather be told no than having to sit at a restaurant waiting for someone.
19) I don’t do drama

what happened last night? Can someone please fill me in?

I have never been a policial person, what I mean to say is that I say what I want, and how I feel, I do not suck up and dodge contraversy, even when it is for the better.  I bring this up because I discovered something recently.  The trend that I have wittnessed in "being political" is to accept all invites to do things, even if they overlap, and the simply not show up to half of them.  This way everyone is happy with you as you are coming to their engagement and not upset when you do not make it as  it has become socially acceptable to not attend events and people simply "understand".
Case in Point: I had invites today that would have resulted in a double booking, I turned down the offer that I got second as I had already had accepted the first (despite I wanted to attend the second invite more), but low and behold, the same person who never shows despite making a commitment too gets nasty because I could not make their engagement.  I mean what the fuck is this all about?  I am sorry that I was raised in a family were we make it to our commitments, show up on time if not early, and are people of our verbal words.  I am sorry that I get upset when I am stood up, because I see that as disrespect. You made a commitment, man up and do it.


In other news.  I submitted a counter offer today to Waffle House, we will see if I get the starting salary I am hoping for, if not, I will still take the job because it looks like it will be a blast.

in other other news, I was considering quitting drinking for a month, I spent over $350 last month (an the same in months since graduation if not more) on liquor and beer in the store and at the bar (quicken is amazing).  In discussing this plan the beautiful Erica Dole instead suggested that I just don't buy any more liquor for 30 days, and it makes sense, I am always the one buying drinks at the bar.. time for a change.  So if you see me hitting on a gay guy, remember, it is for the drinks, I really am straight (I have heard there has been some debate on this topic).  It also means that I will be rationing what liquor I do have left, which consists of about a case of beer, 750 of vodka and every flavor of don julio they make... it is going to be an intisting time...
