The reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated.


Yes.
To all those who care out there in the great expanse known as the internet, I am still alive. I've just been either too busy with two jobs, two kids and no sleep to post anything or I've been bummed out with the way the economy has gone.
Some quick updates...
I am no longer unemployed. I am working for a printing company and a well known arts and crafts store doing custom framing.
I am overjoyed at the victory of Barack Obama as the United States new President, and I am very pissed off that someone stole my Obama/Biden sticker from off my back window.
I am ecstatic over the price of gasoline being at a record $1.69 per gallon.
I am painting murals again and loving it.
Hmmm...what else?
Pretty much I am just waiting until this economic crisis blows over. But the company with me in that boat is so full its about to capsize!
Nice to hear from those of you who care enough to post something.
Congrats to Damian for hitting the 10 year mark at Tashman.
Yeeaaa!!
Or something like that.
But for now. Its off to bed for some much needed sleep.

wow.
working 2 jobs sucks.
I hope they are not both full time jobs, that can burn anybody out, but thats still better than where im at with no job whatsoever.
I hope I dont have to end up doing that to meet my expenses.

Im still collecting unemployment and not working.
filling out applications, etc.
Im glad gas is down at least.
all of the sudden i was able to fill up my car from for like fifteen bucks-

real nice feeling, i couldnt believe it.

people say its gone down because of supply and demand but I think its because Bush and his cronies let the oil companies get away with whatever they wanted to, he is on his way out and the oil companies wanting to avoid investigation for their manipulation of oil prices, see the handwriting on the wall with the election of Obama and have started lowering their prices to avoid getting in trouble.

just a theory, i cant prove it.

I hope things get better for "tashman", for myself, and for everybody else.

If you know of any opportunities to get employed somewhere that is hiring let me know.

Well, back to the search for work for me.

the struggle continues.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am fine today and how are you? I hope this letter will find you in the best of health. I am Prince Joe Eboh, the Chairman of the “Contract Award Committee”, of the “Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC)”, a subsidiary of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).

The Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) was set up by the late Head of State, General Sani Abacha who died on 18th June 1998, to manage the excess revenue accruing from the sales of Petroleum and its allied products as a domestic increase in the petroleum products to develop the communities in the Niger Delta Oil producing areas. The estimated annual revenue for 1999 was $45 Billion US Dollars Ref. FMF A26 Unit 3B Paragraph “D” of the Auditor General of the Federal Republic of Nigeria Report of Nov. 1999 on estimated revenue.

I am the Chairman of the Contract Award Committee, and my committee is solely responsible for awaiting and paying of contracts on behalf of the Federal Government of Nigeria. My Committee Awarded Contracts to foreign contractors for Drilling and Ecological Matters in the oil producing areas of Niger Delta. We overshot the contract sum by US$25,000,000.00. We have paid the contractors and withholding the balance of US$25,000, 000.00. But, because of the existence of some of the domestic laws forbidding civil servants in Nigeria from opening, operating and maintaining foreign accounts, we do not have the expertise to transfer this balance of fund to a foreign account.

However, this balance of US$25,000, 000.00 has been secured in form of Credit/Payment to a foreign contractor, hence we wish to transfer into your bank account as the beneficiary of the fund. We have also arrived at a conclusion that you will be given 20% of the total sum transferred as our foreign partner, while 5% will be reserved for incidental expenses that both parties will incur in the course of actualizing this transaction, and the balance of 75% will be kept for the committee members.

If you know that you will be capable of helping us actualize this transaction, you should send to me immediately the details of your bank particulars or open a new bank account where we can transfer the money US$25,000, 000.00, which you will be holding in trust for us until we come to your country for our share. Your nature of business does not matter in this transaction. The required details includes your company’s name, address, your private personal telephone/fax numbers, your full name and address, including your complete bank details where the transferred fund will be routed by the Apex Bank.

Note that this transaction is expected to be actualized within 21 working days from the day the required details are forwarded to the Federal Ministry of Finance who will approve the needed foreign exchange control allocation for the release of this money to your account. Please, treat this as top secret. You should contact me urgently.

Thanks for your cooperation.

Yours faithfully,

Prince Joe Eboh

Dear Sir:

Show the enclosed paper to others, make copies if you like.

I am 51, a Paranoid Schizophrenic, High School Diploma, Pentecostal, 6'1" tall, 225 pounds, black hair, green eyes, and get Social Security Disability.

I was born in Forsyth and still live with my parents. My brother Bob is a medical doctor.

I spent 3 years in the No. Dak. State Hospital and had 50 insulin coma shock treatments. I escaped once with a car and butcher knife and was nearly killed by the Police.

I have never stolen, raped, or killed. A psychiatrist, Dr. Martin Freese, said it was a miracle.

I have had sex with over 120 women, most of them prostitutes.

I am a very handsome and charming Virgo, same as Alexander the Great, Ivan the Terrible, John Wilkes Booth, Jesse James, Admiral Bligh, Emperor Augustus, Cesare Borgia, Cardinal Richelieu, Marquis de Lafayette, von Wallenstein, General John J. Pershing, Louis the 14th and Richard the Lionhearted.

In 1965, I received a batch of letters from Wyoming school children, saying that my Buffalo Bill song called Pahaska, was their favorite song and was sung in class every day.

According to neurologists, I have suffered far more than any human who ever lived, because when I was insane, I had skeining power. Skein is found in Goulds Medical Dictionary.

According to psychologists, I am the smartest man ever to walk on the earth.

I would like to personally impregnate hundreds of bright single women in order to produce a crop of great geniuses to improve the world.

Thank you for disseminating this information.

Sincerely,

Tom Lloyd
