Man… it seems that I’ve been getting into a lot of run-in’s with the cops and judicial system ever since I got my new car, whether it’d be my fault or not…
First, there are all those friggin parking tickets, then the incident of racial profiling up in Connecticut, then the incident where helicopters tagging with laser, and now I get a letter in the mail from the City of Poughkeepsie, NY where someone apparently has stolen my old plates that I had turned into the DMV to have destroyed and has been racking up speeding/parking tickets up the wazoo. If I don’t pay them, the letter threatened, they will have the NY State DMV revoke my current car registration and serve a warrant for my arrest. WTF?!!

Fortunately, I friggin keep every official piece of paper, and have the receipt that the DMV received my old plates and marked them to be destroyed. I wrote a letter to have everything wiped from the record becuase clearly it’s impossible for these charges to have been committed by me since I sold the car that they were originally on, and turned in the plates. This means some jackoff is going around with stolen plates and crap is getting put in my name. Dammit. I wrote down my case, photocopied all the paperwork, and said that if there’s a problem to call me directly. I also motioned that they arrest the person that’s driving around with stolen property, which my now that car should be impounded since its racked up quite a crime spree.

Back in June till July, I went up to Boston and stayed at an awesome hotel at the Sheraton in the Prudential Center. Top of the line stuff, and signed up for their Starwood Points program since I was staying for 6 nights. Becuase it was for so many days and the stay itself cost 2 grand, they were supposed to give me double points so I could have 2 free fridays at any Starwood resort. I go to use them today, to book it for Atlantic City next week, and it says ZERO points… WTF?!

Anyhow, so I call up the Boston Sheraton, and eventually get to the guy in charge of the Points program, and he’s like: I’m sorry sir, I’ll have it fixed right away sir, I’m can’t believe this happened, I totally will personally fix this for you, and just in case, here’s my cell #. OMG! Talk about going way beyond the call of duty to get stuff done. This guy could teach people a few things about REAL customer service! Man I love the hotel industry.

So why am I booking next friday in the first place? Well I have next friday off, so Caroline and I were planning to spend the weekend in Atlantic city to get out of the city for awhile. We might gamble a little, but probably just hang out on their boardwalk, sipping on lemonade, and eat funnel cake. Kind of a mini-vacation. Should be relaxing. Oh yeah, plus those points I earned, can be used on room service food, massage at their spa, and other stuff. Who knows, I wanna see how much I can milk my points for. Hehehe…

And since my last post, I’ve gotten at least 7 emails about whats gonna happen between me and Caroline. First of all, honestly, the only reason I even wrote it up there was mainly for her, because I was really confused about how to approach the subject. We talked the night after on the phone, but for some reason I couldn’t figure a way to bring myself to mention it in conversation. Totally unlike me, since I’m a very upfront type of guy. Maybe I was just scared and chicken shit, I guess… Even Tammy commented that the entry was by far the most candid blog entry I’ve put up in the last year or so…

But to make a long story short, she did say there was a possibility, but that she’d have to think about it more. No problem with me, since there’s really no rush, and it should be up to her. But honestly, I don’t think I want to post anymore on this topic up here, because I’m not too keen on posting my life up here like a soap opera. I’ve got to draw the line somewhere. So unless you know me personally, please stop asking. Thank you.

I’ve noticed that I’ve been getting a shitload of hits lately. 1,400 in the last 2 weeks to be exact. Geez. I guess starting the anti-Mackie Tan website does generate some traffic. LOL I’ve also noticed that a lot of people have voted on my poll. Gee, I know what my priorities are now… hehe… Lose weight and migrate my old content up here. Well those were already on my priorities list, so no adjustment needed. Anyhow its getting late and I’m feeling sleepy…
