Tell Your Fortune Mister?
Okay, okay. I get it. You need another Nigelpalloza. Here it is go wild.
Since I am trying to siphon IAFF's traffic, and Casey got a big spike after his blog-cation, I'm thinking perhaps I should take another weekend off. Perhaps that will get my 2759 unique visitors excited and I can get more than 2 commenters on my blog about a blog. Stickiness is so elusive these days.
I have been trying to convince Nigel to get a reasonable hair piece for the longest time. I mean what good am I, a pleather Members Only jacket without a mustache or really tight hairpiece. You know, one with some blond highlights in it. Casey had it right when he told us that you have to change your look once in a while, and Nigel I tell ya, cheap sunglasses and a members only jacket just won't cut it.
Somewhere in the SDCIA "my favorite chart" thread, Jeff mentioned that not only had he been fired from Taco Bell, but he hadn't held a job for the last **six years** (his wife works). Granted, if he had been raising the kids, that would have strongly aproximated a full-time job (and then some), but his plunge into real estate might have been a way to reassert himself as the "breadwinner".
Somewhere we need a "guru deprogramming center" - it is good to be optimistic, but it seems that society is full of neo-Est'es (Jeff/Caseys), who think that "you create your own reality", and that if they think enough positive thoughts and refuse to think negative thoughts, reality can be bent to your will. You always need to do the worst-case analysis before you do something important...
KC: "I have to come up with 2 months of rent money plus May’s payment by tomorrow. And there is even talk of pre-paying 2 months in advance if we are to stay here. Even though I don’t think my sister-in-law is going to kick me out, there is always that chance."
From IAFF:"My inbox still has about 1000 emails to go through. (It’s like panning for gold. I can see the nuggets but it takes time to sift and refine into something of value). I am looking at several strategic partnerships, potential book deal(s). "
Nigel here. You may be asking yourselves, "Why does that handsome, award winning blogger love himself so much?" You see haterz, Nigel loves Nigel because Nigel is a smart person. Nigel sells pins, Nigel goes to VIP parties, Nigel is a God with Google (as some of you know!). Nigel will now refer to Nigel in the third person. Why you ask? Why would Nigel need to talk about Nigel like that? Nigel saw Nigel's first baseball game and there was this guy named Ricky Henderson speaking. He kept referring to himself as either Henderson or Ricka. I must say that Nigel loved this new way of talking. So all you haterz, Nigel will be talking about Nigel on a regular basis. No more he or I, just Nigel.
Nigel immediately called Casey and told him the news. When Casey picked up the phone, "Hello?" Nigel responds, "Casey...Swaby here...Nigel Swaby." That one comment made Nigel happy since Nigel loves to talk about how great Nigel is. Here's the rest of Nigel's call:
CS: Nigel what's wrong? I know it's you.
NS: Casey you are missing the point. Nigel will now refer to Nigel on a regular basis. It's a win win as you'd say.
CS: Okay. Right now I am trying to pay my wife's sister her rent money.
NS: Nigel feels ya.
CS: I know you are doing well right now, can I borrow some money?
NS: Now Casey, Nigel doesn't loan money to deadbeats. I thought Nigel told you that Nigel wants something significant in return.
CS: You know Nigel, I am not to keen on giving you my site for pennies on the dollar. I may be a dummy, but I am not stupid!
NS: (Snicker) Ok Casey, Nigel will point you to a person that can help. It's the least Nigel can do.
CS: Can you stop talking about yourself like that?
NS: What do you mean? Nigel loves talking about Nigel. Swaby out.
CS: (inaudible)
See haterz? Nigel is not only the brightest and bestest mind on the planet, but Nigel doesn't loan money to friends. Casey maybe intelligent, in Nigel's esteemed opinion, but it's a rule of life...don't loan money to deadbeat friends.
For the first time in weeks I actually went to IAFF and read KC's "Living in a car" post.
My test render ding just sounded, so there's no time to mention each of the nuggets of purest Casey shit in that post. What a fucking asshole. "Held back by marriage". Jesus fuck. Fuck that idiot. I hope he ends up living in his car and then runs over himself.
I'm not a Haterz™, though! I'm a Power Disdainerz™.
Uzbeki Durok--IIRC Jeff at one point described his strategy as building a real estate empire large enough that he could convert it into ownership stake in one or more Walgreens franchises, however many it took for him to make more than his wife's annual income.
Also, I always thought he was kidding about being fired from Taco Bell. You don't really think that's true, do you?
Nigel does not recommend investing real estate profits in Walgreens. Nigel recommends stocks! Nigel does it because they are more liquid than cash! A Walgreen's would tie Nigel down. Can any of you imagine Nigel working the counter in Nigel's very own Walgreens? It would be a waste of Nigel's significant mind powers. You see haterz, Nigel would be spending all day talking to Nigel's customers about the beauty of home ownership in down times. Nigel ain't stupid but Nigel knows that the customer wouldn't buy anything. Then Nigel's Walgreen will be out of business.
"Also, I always thought he was kidding about being fired from Taco Bell. You don't really think that's true, do you?"
Who would make that up? Jeff shows no sign of being employed...

Snowflake:
"Yes, I sometimes feel held back by marriage."
Not to worry hobbit, that problem is going to solve itself Real Soon Now. From dynamic entrepeneur to somebody thinking about the various makes of camper vans...
So he goes from being a RE Mogul wannabe who loves his wife to thinking she is holding him back from his latest great idea...living in an effing car!?!?!
I don't know. I have the feeling he is just playing us here. He knows that each and every argument he makes infuriates us even more. Its like puring 5gallons of gas on the barbecue.
Casey is an honest person. How does Nigel know? Nigel just does. Nigel has superpowers that no other human has. Nigel can sense sincerity miles away.
You haterz made the bed, now Nigel asks that you sleep in it. It's no hard feelings you know. Nigel just hates negativity. Nigel is to blogging that Steven Spielberg is to movies. Nigel is an award winner and makes excellent points.
Swaby out.
(Like that haterz? Nigel added this because Nigel's hip to the times!).
Nigel doesn't understand you haterz. Why should somebody as talented as Casey (he's not more talented than Nigel, but that's an article for Nigel's award winning blog!) be forced to work a bad job like flipping burgers? Not only would it give him pimples but those outfits...! Nigel thinks Casey should work at a Macaroni Grill. This way Casey can eat his favorite food everyday, make a tip and give Nigel discounts!
Nigel would come down to Sacto more often if that were to happen.
Never let it be said that Nigel doesn't care about the less fortunate.
I'm just hoping Casey gets the window fixed as there is potential rain moving into Sac later this week. I'd hate for his pda to get all wet while working at his new desk.
Casey's hopeless. Sleeping all day due to too many opportunities! No wonder Yulia is about to kick him out, imagine her going off to work while Casey's snoring in the bed, and she gets home from work and Casey's still there.
Normal people don't sleep all day unless they were working all the night before.
I wonder about Galina. Does she sleep through the day like Rip Van Winkle too? Are all the nuggets of gold in Casey's mailbox too overwhelming for her too?
"The thought of living in a car or a van has crossed my mined a few times. Apparently, I’m not the only one thinking about it. Living in cars after being priced out of housing is a growing trend"
It's trendy! Okay, then. ---------------------------- >>Having a bus instead of a car would make it easier for me to sleep and I can setup my office there<<
Wild ambition. ---------------------------- >>I can park at friends and family’s driveways overnight to avoid issues with police.<<
Thinking ahead! ---------------------------- >>I can maintain a gym membership where I will shower and exercise.<<
...and learn to "monetize" that shower time. ---------------------------- >>So I guess no living in the car for me… (Unless the wife kicks me out or something. I doubt it.)<<
Boundless optimism. ---------------------------- >>Going to go get that glass fixed and after that make a plan of action for the next 4 months<<
The best way to avoid work is to plan it endlessly! ----------------------------
Sorry, no new post here to cover the IAFF top level rambling Casey just slapped up. I read it. I read the replies. Couldn't even work up enough bile to try and parse that mess of trolling. The "marriage holding him back" when even he sees that it is the only thing holding him up. He's just setting himself up for getting kicked out. Not them, him. Plop goes the weasel.
Someone photoshop an "age-enhanced" version of Swaby, circa 2030 -- completely bald except for the "horseshoe" pattern of gray/white hair around his head. Dressed in stereotypical senior-citizen style, shorts pulled up to the sternum, white knee-high socks.
Be creative, you know... have him at a table at the 2032 Olympics, selling you-know-whats. ;-)
I'm getting the feeling that secretly he wants out of the marriage and for the benefit of his self-image would prefer if she ends it.
I forgot, as Nigel's official #1 supporter, I made this Nigel/Rob Dawg poll to reclaim Nigeypoo's good name, but he isn't doing so well. All Nigel supporterz, please show your luv.
HA! I almost spit out my planters peanuts looking at your Steph pics post... And $9.99 / minute for ME? Would you take a gift certificate for a Jamba Juice?
"Somewhere in the SDCIA "my favorite chart" thread, Jeff mentioned that not only had he been fired from Taco Bell, but he hadn't held a job for the last **six years** (his wife works)"
HOLY #@%&!
Gee, I wonder how he qualified for all of those loans.
I'm sure anyone who's gay would want out of a partnership with a member of the opposite sex.... I can think of several prominent political candidates who... ooops, I've said too much.
I think I've been thick. I just realised that IAFF comments were getting moderated and released at about 12:00 13:00 ish for the last couple of days, so my guess is CS isn't getting out of bed much before lunchtime at the moment. No wonder Y is getting fed up with him.
Good god, man - look at KC's latest post. I mean, just look at it (said in my best Jeffrey Jones imitation of Emperor Joseph II). I'm speechless - his wife is holding him back from his dream of living in a vAAAAAAAN...down by the rIVEEEER. WTF!? He is the most gullible idiot I have ever come across. Get rich quick from Real Estate! Buy precious metals! Live in a van & write a book about it!! As long as he has his modem! WTF!?!?!? Back in the day, during my poor times, I actually went without food for 3 days, just so I was able to pay my bills on time with what money I had, & I had no phone or cable, & especially no IKEA office products.
You know, it's funny or not... but all I see in KC's latest post is "I, I, I... me, me me..."
He makes reference to his wife, and how marriage is maybe holding him back.
But there's not a word about her feelings about this whole mess. Not a word about what SHE will do if ... if they? are thrown out? Or is it just KC being thrown out?
And there's not a word about what KC's wife is doing for a living, now that she quit school to get a job. So where's the job? Oh yeah, she's helping with taxes and paperwork. Been 6 weeks now since she quit school... even with crappy accounting procedures (or NO accounting procedures), Galina must be done with their taxes by now.
All I can figure is that Galina is not a part of the "kicked out" part. But that's just reading between the lines... based on no conversation/planning/discourse/etc with his wife.
I guess we'll know in a couple of days. My money is on KC's wild-eyed surprise when he finds all his stuff piled at the curb (including new IKEA furniture), and the Snapdragon house door-locks all changed. And Galina and Yulia waving at KC from inside the locked front window.
And there's not a word about what KC's wife is doing for a living.
I don't know what she's doing right now, but I do know what she'll be reduced to doing if Casey Serin (provider, husband, bread-winner, all-around good guy) doesn't start bringing in income soon... ;-p
There are the 'Nouveau Homeless' (Casey), and then there are the 'Pro Homeless.'
The Pro's are keen at finding and befriending the newbies, learning what pawnable assetts they have in their posession, and then luring them away from their house/car/van to split a bottle of MadDog... and then be there for the shoulder to cry on when everything turns up missing.
Newest post is not showing up, probably got yanked (somebody might have been reading over his shoulder regarding the "holding him back" bit and got angry.)
I will confess to having considered living in a van, down by the river (just so that I could say it), but in the end, I just ended up parking the old van full of my stuff in front of the AmeriStay Suites "Hotel", where I lived for a couple of weeks before finding another place.
But, yeah, staying in a van down by the river would have been a great story. And cheap.
For those who missed it... here's Casey's deleted post (minus formatting... sorry...)
April 30th, 2007 1:33 pm After Foreclosure: Living in a Car like Anya Peters? I have to come up with 2 months of rent money plus May’s payment by tomorrow. And there is even talk of pre-paying 2 months in advance if we are to stay here. Even though I don’t think my sister-in-law is going to kick me out, there is always that chance. The thought of living in a car or a van has crossed my mined a few times. Apparently, I’m not the only one thinking about it. Living in cars after being priced out of housing is a growing trend according to last year’s New York Times article Keeping It Secret as the Family Car Becomes a Home:
The number of “mobile homeless,” as they are often called, tends to climb whenever the cost of housing outpaces wages, Dr. Hopper said. Last year was the first year on record, according to an annual study conducted by the National Low Income Housing Coalition, that a full-time worker at minimum wage could not afford a one-bedroom apartment anywhere in the country at average market rates.
Now if I was to do that, I would definitely not keep it secret. I would blog every detail of it to show you what it’s like. That’s just my style.
In fact, Anya Peters did just that. She blogged her story of being homeless living in a car, developed a following and got written up by BBC and a bunch of other places, including an audio interview by New York Times.
Man, this all sounds familiar. She even has haters, like me! Here is a hater blog on Anya questioning her story: “Is Anya Peters a homeless person using technology to her advantage or just another con artist out to exploit people with her gimmick?”. I feel for her. I sure know what if feels to be questioned, criticized, misunderstood and exposed. (I’m surprised Anya hasn’t also been written up in Wikipedia like me).
I can tell Anya Peters is a true entrepreneur. She didn’t stop with the blog. She leveraged the exposure and got a book deal out of it!
Here is a quote from a BBC News follow up article on Anya Peters:
A few weeks ago, Anya Peters was homeless and living in a car, hanging around the places where she could wash and eat and keep herself looking respectable. Her contact with the outside world was through an online diary.
But this blog, published under the name of Wandering Scribe, was picked up by readers around the world and has provided a remarkable way out of her homelessness. She has written her own escape story.
The story of her homelessness and her previous life is going to be turned into a book, with a publishing deal signed and the hardback scheduled to reach the bookshops next Spring.
In the space of a hectic few days, Anya Peters was taken on by Curtis Brown, one of the biggest literary agencies in London - and the subsequent book proposal sparked a bidding battle between publishers - eventually won by Harper Collins.
Still living in her car, she found herself in the surreal position of being homeless and taking calls offering her book deals, with reports about her blog appearing in papers such as the New York Times and Le Monde.
Amazon says Anya’s book will be available tomorrow (May 1st). The title: Abandoned: The True Story of a Little Girl Who Didn’t Belong. Here is a synopsis from the UK bookstore:
Abandoned’ is the true story of a childhood full of secrets, abuse and a little girl who didn’t belong. This inspirational story is about how one woman finally overcame her traumatic childhood and adult homelessness to find a place she could call home. ‘Abandoned’ tells the heartbreaking story of a little girl’s abusive childhood and her subsequent homelessness as an adult. Born illegitimately to Irish lovers, Anya was given away by her real mother and brought up in England by her loving aunt. However, her childhood with her new family was far from happy — verbally and sexually abused for years, Anya finally cracked. She was only 11 years old. Then, a few weeks after her violent uncle was taken away by the police for questioning, Anya lost her whole family overnight. They didn’t die, although they might as well have done; they just went away, abandoning her. There was no one else to care, so Anya pretended that she didn’t either. She learnt to shut down, and not to let anybody in. She thought that she had worked through it all, overcome it. But then, several years later, through a series of unrelated problems, her life imploded again. Several things ended together: a job, a relationship, money, luck — and she ended up homeless and living in her car in a laneway at the edge of the woods.
Will I live in the car?
If I was single right now I would just go ahead and try living in the car just for the challenge and experience. It would be fun to see how practical it is and how long I can last. Living in my car would be a great way to save on money.
I was even thinking I can sell all my stuff and raise enough money to buy a cheap van and convert it into a camper or buy a ready-to-go camper van. You can pick up a camper van on cragislist for under 5 grand. (It would be sweet to get one of them VW hippie buses. Hehe!). Having a bus instead of a car would make it easier for me to sleep and I can setup my office there.
All I need is my cell phone, my laptop and wireless card for my laptop. I can park at friends and family’s driveways overnight to avoid issues with police. I can maintain a gym membership where I will shower and exercise. My blog, once properly monetized with ads and other services, can produce enough money to survive like this indefinitely. I think I can live on less than $1,000 per month. (Some guy even wrote a book on how to live in a car). In one phrase it would be the ultimate mobile freedom!
But that’s all dreams.
My wife of 3 years would never go for something like that. Yes, I sometimes feel held back by marriage. The thoughts of doing “my own thing” come quite often. But then, after I think about it, I come to my senses.
I promised to God, to my wife and to all the witnesses that I will love her, serve her and take care of her the rest of my days on earth. I need to own up to my commitments and stick to my promises (for once). I need to do the right thing and “take care of my family”. Intellectually, I know that marriage is a blessing and will make me a better person if I just submit to it. But my impulses sometimes tell me otherwise. I need to control my impulses!
So I guess no living in the car for me… (Unless the wife kicks me out or something. I doubt it.)
Facing opportunity… must focus!
What I really need to do is stop all this scatter-brain stuff, get focused, get motivated and start digging out of this mess. My problem has been that I’m NOT used to having so many opportunities coming at me all at once.
My inbox still has about 1000 emails to go through. (It’s like panning for gold. I can see the nuggets but it takes time to sift and refine into something of value). I am looking at several strategic partnerships, potential book deal(s). To complicated things many partnerships and strategies are overlapping and conflicting.
And add financial pressure and lack of stable monthly income on top of all that. It’s so overwhelming that I will sometimes shut down, sleep all day, and avoid the computer and cell phone for a while. (I apologize for those trying to reach me.)
That’s what exposure will do to you. It attracts people, contacts and opportunities. However, managing multiple competing opportunities is the tough part. To succeed I am having to learn a whole new set of skills and a whole new level of focus. By personality, I already have a hard time saying “NO” and sticking to a strategy without being distracted the next “shiny thing”. This exposure and influx is making it worse.
I have plenty of opportunities to solve my cashflow problems, pay off all the debt and become successful. Again, I just need to make a plan and focus! Tomorrow is May 1st - a nice round date to start something new.
Enough talking. Going to go get that glass fixed and after that make a plan of action for the next 4 months. Signup for my personal mailing list and watch for an announcement tomorrow.
@badjerjim: I think you're wrong, I think the IKEA furniture will NOT be on the front curb. Two months behind on rent qualifies for taking possession of everything that can't be nailed down and that doesn't have a permanent odor attached to it.
If this was a real post, and honest, even partially, he's seriously psychotic.
Nobody, and I mean nobody, sees living in acar as a learning experience to blog about.
If this was real, then Snowflake is bound and determined to be famous. Note that it's more important to know about some lady who lived in her car and got a book deal than it is to actually pay rent - it's like he WANTS misfortune.
Why?
He's psychotic...and it would make a more interesting book.
He'll do *anything* for fame.
That scares me.
I now believe he broke into his own car, to make the Series Of Unfortunate Events™ more pathetic.
I would be willing to wager he'll fake living in his car to get a book deal - meanwhile living at home or at Yulia's.
I simply do not believe a word he posts now.
Believe him at your own peril. I'm not angry anymore, he fooled me too. This is "LonelyGirlinSac".
Nigel knows Casey is trolling you. Nigel finds this funny because Nigel knows all about trolls. Nigel likes trolls. They are cute and fuzzy and sometimes do disgusting yet magical things. When Nigel pets Nigel's troll it likes it...a lot.
Oops, Nigel bad. You haterz are talking about Internets trolls, right? Nigel thought you were talking about Nigel's troll.
What was Nigel originally talking about, oh yes...Casey. Nigel thinks he's trolling you bigtime. Nigel also believes Casey wrote some trollbait that got him in trouble with his little wife. Nigel would never troll on the Internets and piss off the wife. No way. Nigel knows where his bread is buttered.
The NIGEL sent me over here to knock some sense into your little peon skulls. Though I'm unassuming to look at, you DON'T want to mess with me. I don't have ANY sympathy for bad guys AND I'm an avid outdoorsman.
Look, if you don't stop talking shit about the NIGEL, I'll have you know that at the drop of a hat I WILL research some evidence and with that in hand drop the bomb on your haterz asses. You best recognize!
I can multiply your problems, divide your numbers, and reduce you to a fraction of what you once were. Then I'll subtract your difference and carry your remainder out the door. I am the total solution, and yes, my values are absolute.
If I was in Caseys shoes, I'd probably be psychotic by now, or at least hope to be.
Casey and his immense laziness has lead him to this dead end. Life is just starting to slap him in the face. If he can't handle now, he surely won't handle two months from now.
He's fucked himself anyway you look at it. Some people spend the rest of their lives overcoming what he's done. I wonder if that'll be him.
"Signup for my personal mailing list and watch for an announcement tomorrow."
I wonder why he can't put it on his blog. What will he be announcing anyway, that he got his window fixed? That he's written a 4-month plan of inaction? Or that Yulia kicked him out and he's now living in his car?
If Yulia really does boot his arse to the grass he can't go and live with his parents, because he's just blogged about how cool it would be to live in his car. On the other hand, if Yulia kicks out the both of them, they should live with Casey's parents, then Casey can claim that he's only in the house due to Galina.
Mess with Nigel and Nigel will send Nigel's forensic accountant/ninja warrior after you. Nigel don't suffer foolishness very easily. Nigel is tired of being a butt of jokes. Why does Nigel lump haterz together? Because Nigel hates to be the butt...of jokes.
Love Nigel dammit! Nigel sure does. Remember, it's all about Nigel's forensic accountant ninja warrior. He will find any haterz who questions Nigel's integrity!
And no, Nigel will not stop referring to Nigel in the third person. Nigel LOVES the power it brings Nigel.
I'm pretty sure the comments about his wife "holding him back" made Galina snap out of it and remind Snowflake where she has his balls stored (in his manbag, of course).
Okay, okay. I get it. You need another Nigelpalloza. Here it is go wild.

Blah.
Since I am trying to siphon IAFF's traffic, and Casey got a big spike after his blog-cation, I'm thinking perhaps I should take another weekend off. Perhaps that will get my 2759 unique visitors excited and I can get more than 2 commenters on my blog about a blog. Stickiness is so elusive these days.
Meh. We need a Jeff thread.
I have been trying to convince Nigel to get a reasonable hair piece for the longest time. I mean what good am I, a pleather Members Only jacket without a mustache or really tight hairpiece. You know, one with some blond highlights in it. Casey had it right when he told us that you have to change your look once in a while, and Nigel I tell ya, cheap sunglasses and a members only jacket just won't cut it.
I noticed that Nigel can't seem to stop mentioning Casey and link dropping, this time totally out of context in his Whorescopes post.
Somewhere in the SDCIA "my favorite chart" thread, Jeff mentioned that not only had he been fired from Taco Bell, but he hadn't held a job for the last **six years** (his wife works). Granted, if he had been raising the kids, that would have strongly aproximated a full-time job (and then some), but his plunge into real estate might have been a way to reassert himself as the "breadwinner".
Somewhere we need a "guru deprogramming center" - it is good to be optimistic, but it seems that society is full of neo-Est'es (Jeff/Caseys), who think that "you create your own reality", and that if they think enough positive thoughts and refuse to think negative thoughts, reality can be bent to your will. You always need to do the worst-case analysis before you do something important...
Never mind Nigelpalooza -- it's time for Caseypalooza!
He seems even more delusional than ever today.

Uhhhh, pretty sure she's kicking you out..

Hey haterz,
Nigel here. You may be asking yourselves, "Why does that handsome, award winning blogger love himself so much?" You see haterz, Nigel loves Nigel because Nigel is a smart person. Nigel sells pins, Nigel goes to VIP parties, Nigel is a God with Google (as some of you know!). Nigel will now refer to Nigel in the third person. Why you ask?

Until next time, Swaby out.
For the first time in weeks I actually went to IAFF and read KC's "Living in a car" post.
My test render ding just sounded, so there's no time to mention each of the nuggets of purest Casey shit in that post. What a fucking asshole. "Held back by marriage". Jesus fuck. Fuck that idiot. I hope he ends up living in his car and then runs over himself.
I'm not a Haterz™, though! I'm a Power Disdainerz™.
Casey can sift through Nigel's nuggets anyday!
Swaby out.
Uzbeki Durok--IIRC Jeff at one point described his strategy as building a real estate empire large enough that he could convert it into ownership stake in one or more Walgreens franchises, however many it took for him to make more than his wife's annual income.
Also, I always thought he was kidding about being fired from Taco Bell. You don't really think that's true, do you?

Nope, Nigel don't play that.
Swaby out.

So he goes from being a RE Mogul wannabe who loves his wife to thinking she is holding him back from his latest great idea...living in an effing car!?!?!
I don't know. I have the feeling he is just playing us here. He knows that each and every argument he makes infuriates us even more. Its like puring 5gallons of gas on the barbecue.
I think he is becoming more and more full of it !
"I have the feeling he is just playing us here."
Somewhat, but snowflake's greatest weakness is that he drinks his own koolaid.
Sweet Cashback,
Casey is an honest person. How does Nigel know? Nigel just does. Nigel has superpowers that no other human has. Nigel can sense sincerity miles away.
You haterz made the bed, now Nigel asks that you sleep in it. It's no hard feelings you know. Nigel just hates negativity. Nigel is to blogging that Steven Spielberg is to movies. Nigel is an award winner and makes excellent points.
Swaby out.
(Like that haterz? Nigel added this because Nigel's hip to the times!).
Also, still no sign that KC is going to consider the dull W-2 job - it's better to live in the van!
After all, "I am looking at several strategic partnerships, potential book deal(s)."
No burger flipping for our Casey!
Is that Dirtee Penni in the picture?
Remember:
Matt Foley, motivational speaker, who "lives in a van down by the river".
Uzbecki Durok,
Nigel doesn't understand you haterz. Why should somebody as talented as Casey (he's not more talented than Nigel, but that's an article for Nigel's award winning blog!) be forced to work a bad job like flipping burgers? Not only would it give him pimples but those outfits...! Nigel thinks Casey should work at a Macaroni Grill. This way Casey can eat his favorite food everyday, make a tip and give Nigel discounts!
Nigel would come down to Sacto more often if that were to happen.
Never let it be said that Nigel doesn't care about the less fortunate.
galina probably feels held back by marriage too. maybe she'll actually do something about it.
Oh Nigel forgot...
Swaby out!
Nigel knows somebody who would help Galina out. Nigel is connected like that.
Swaby out!
"Living in my car would be a great way to save on money" Casey Serin said.
"I sometimes feel held back by marriage" Casey Serin confessed.
"I will sometimes shut down, sleep all day, and avoid the computer and cell phone for a while" Casey Serin admitted.
I'm just hoping Casey gets the window fixed as there is potential rain moving into Sac later this week. I'd hate for his pda to get all wet while working at his new desk.
Casey's hopeless. Sleeping all day due to too many opportunities! No wonder Yulia is about to kick him out, imagine her going off to work while Casey's snoring in the bed, and she gets home from work and Casey's still there.
Normal people don't sleep all day unless they were working all the night before.
I wonder about Galina. Does she sleep through the day like Rip Van Winkle too? Are all the nuggets of gold in Casey's mailbox too overwhelming for her too?
I sez:
"The thought of living in a car or a van has crossed my mined a few times. Apparently, I’m not the only one thinking about it. Living in cars after being priced out of housing is a growing trend"
It's trendy! Okay, then.

Sorry, no new post here to cover the IAFF top level rambling Casey just slapped up. I read it. I read the replies. Couldn't even work up enough bile to try and parse that mess of trolling. The "marriage holding him back" when even he sees that it is the only thing holding him up. He's just setting himself up for getting kicked out. Not them, him. Plop goes the weasel.
The best thing about Swaby is he makes me realize how intelligent I am and that my life could be a lot worse.
Forty-MURST?
Someone photoshop an "age-enhanced" version of Swaby, circa 2030 -- completely bald except for the "horseshoe" pattern of gray/white hair around his head. Dressed in stereotypical senior-citizen style, shorts pulled up to the sternum, white knee-high socks.
Be creative, you know... have him at a table at the 2032 Olympics, selling you-know-whats. ;-)
These comments are filled with much murstiness.
@ Fannnn:
Marraige is holding him back from being homeless. WTF.
I'm getting the feeling that secretly he wants out of the marriage and for the benefit of his self-image would prefer if she ends it.
I forgot, as Nigel's official #1 supporter, I made this Nigel/Rob Dawg poll to reclaim Nigeypoo's good name, but he isn't doing so well. All Nigel supporterz, please show your luv.
Bonus: exclusive babelicious Steph J jeep photos.
It looks to me like Casey is hoping to call Yulia's bluff.
I think the Dawg is right: Yulia's had enough of the sleep-all-day freeloader. Galina may stay; Casey's out.
(But Galina's no innocent victim here. What the hell does *she* do all day now? Casey is not the only one getting a free ride...)
HA! I almost spit out my planters peanuts looking at your Steph pics post... And $9.99 / minute for ME? Would you take a gift certificate for a Jamba Juice?
>>Going to go get that glass fixed and after that make a plan of action for the next 4 months<<
Remember, fans, he's got until his birthday in September for that sweet deal with $5,000/month passive income. I have trouble with Snowflake's use of the phrase "plan of action". From what I've read, "action" really isn't his forté. Perhaps "plan of inaction" would be more accurate and appropriate? Wasn't there a Snowflake Inaction Figure? Complete with khaki slacks, blue shirt, pda and murse?
I still suspect that begathon and CD money went to another seminar or a pregnancy termination.
It looks to me like Casey is hoping to call Yulia's bluff.
Yep. Either he doesn't think she is serious, or (as some think) it was a troll all along.
I suspect the former, but we shall see.
I'm getting the feeling that secretly he wants out of the marriage.
Well, in Casey's defense, I'm sure anyone who's gay would want out of a partnership with a member of the opposite sex. :-p
"Somewhere in the SDCIA "my favorite chart" thread, Jeff mentioned that not only had he been fired from Taco Bell, but he hadn't held a job for the last **six years** (his wife works)"
HOLY #@%&!
Gee, I wonder how he qualified for all of those loans.
I'm sure anyone who's gay would want out of a partnership with a member of the opposite sex....
I can think of several prominent political candidates who... ooops, I've said too much.
Wouldn't it be awesome if someone talked to Yulia and got her side of the story?
I'd LOVE to hear that.

Again he's touting his mailing list. What's that about?
I like how after he said "going to go get that glass fixed" he sat on his ass for another hour (so far) moderating comments.
Plan of action? All plan, no action.
@ The Original Kevin™
As a Nigel supporterz I'm afraid I can only accept Axe body spray or hair restoration products.
I think I've been thick. I just realised that IAFF comments were getting moderated and released at about 12:00 13:00 ish for the last couple of days, so my guess is CS isn't getting out of bed much before lunchtime at the moment. No wonder Y is getting fed up with him.

Now wait. Just becaue I don't talk about my ninja scribe buddies doesn't mean they don't exist. ;-)
Good god, man - look at KC's latest post. I mean, just look at it (said in my best Jeffrey Jones imitation of Emperor Joseph II). I'm speechless - his wife is holding him back from his dream of living in a vAAAAAAAN...down by the rIVEEEER. WTF!? He is the most gullible idiot I have ever come across. Get rich quick from Real Estate! Buy precious metals! Live in a van & write a book about it!! As long as he has his modem! WTF!?!?!? Back in the day, during my poor times, I actually went without food for 3 days, just so I was able to pay my bills on time with what money I had, & I had no phone or cable, & especially no IKEA office products.
Someone, please stomp his ass.
You know, it's funny or not... but all I see in KC's latest post is "I, I, I... me, me me..."
He makes reference to his wife, and how marriage is maybe holding him back.
But there's not a word about her feelings about this whole mess. Not a word about what SHE will do if ... if they? are thrown out? Or is it just KC being thrown out?
And there's not a word about what KC's wife is doing for a living, now that she quit school to get a job. So where's the job? Oh yeah, she's helping with taxes and paperwork. Been 6 weeks now since she quit school... even with crappy accounting procedures (or NO accounting procedures), Galina must be done with their taxes by now.
All I can figure is that Galina is not a part of the "kicked out" part. But that's just reading between the lines... based on no conversation/planning/discourse/etc with his wife.
I guess we'll know in a couple of days. My money is on KC's wild-eyed surprise when he finds all his stuff piled at the curb (including new IKEA furniture), and the Snapdragon house door-locks all changed. And Galina and Yulia waving at KC from inside the locked front window.
Someone, please stomp his ass.
If he goes living in his car or a campervan, he'll only park up in the "wrong" place and get all his stuff nicked.
And there's not a word about what KC's wife is doing for a living.
I don't know what she's doing right now, but I do know what she'll be reduced to doing if Casey Serin (provider, husband, bread-winner, all-around good guy) doesn't start bringing in income soon... ;-p
Shit musta hit the fan - Casey took down his last post.
Good observation there, badjer.
Could someone post here what Snowflake's latest post was... TheFly is right: It's gone from IAFF.

"Shit musta hit the fan - Casey took down his last post."
We REALLY need to start getting Galina's point of view on all this...
@3:27pm Arthur
You know... you're exactly right.
There are the 'Nouveau Homeless' (Casey), and then there are the 'Pro Homeless.'
The Pro's are keen at finding and befriending the newbies, learning what pawnable assetts they have in their posession, and then luring them away from their house/car/van to split a bottle of MadDog... and then be there for the shoulder to cry on when everything turns up missing.
All good stuff for a book though.
Something strange happened - Casey deleted everything under his last post. He disclosed something he shouldn't have.
Newest post is not showing up, probably got yanked (somebody might have been reading over his shoulder regarding the "holding him back" bit and got angry.)
I will confess to having considered living in a van, down by the river (just so that I could say it), but in the end, I just ended up parking the old van full of my stuff in front of the AmeriStay Suites "Hotel", where I lived for a couple of weeks before finding another place.
But, yeah, staying in a van down by the river would have been a great story. And cheap.
For those who missed it... here's Casey's deleted post (minus formatting... sorry...)
April 30th, 2007 1:33 pm
After Foreclosure: Living in a Car like Anya Peters?
I have to come up with 2 months of rent money plus May’s payment by tomorrow. And there is even talk of pre-paying 2 months in advance if we are to stay here. Even though I don’t think my sister-in-law is going to kick me out, there is always that chance. The thought of living in a car or a van has crossed my mined a few times. Apparently, I’m not the only one thinking about it. Living in cars after being priced out of housing is a growing trend according to last year’s New York Times article Keeping It Secret as the Family Car Becomes a Home:
The number of “mobile homeless,” as they are often called, tends to climb whenever the cost of housing outpaces wages, Dr. Hopper said. Last year was the first year on record, according to an annual study conducted by the National Low Income Housing Coalition, that a full-time worker at minimum wage could not afford a one-bedroom apartment anywhere in the country at average market rates.
Now if I was to do that, I would definitely not keep it secret. I would blog every detail of it to show you what it’s like. That’s just my style.
In fact, Anya Peters did just that. She blogged her story of being homeless living in a car, developed a following and got written up by BBC and a bunch of other places, including an audio interview by New York Times.
Man, this all sounds familiar. She even has haters, like me! Here is a hater blog on Anya questioning her story: “Is Anya Peters a homeless person using technology to her advantage or just another con artist out to exploit people with her gimmick?”. I feel for her. I sure know what if feels to be questioned, criticized, misunderstood and exposed. (I’m surprised Anya hasn’t also been written up in Wikipedia like me).
I can tell Anya Peters is a true entrepreneur. She didn’t stop with the blog. She leveraged the exposure and got a book deal out of it!
Here is a quote from a BBC News follow up article on Anya Peters:
A few weeks ago, Anya Peters was homeless and living in a car, hanging around the places where she could wash and eat and keep herself looking respectable. Her contact with the outside world was through an online diary.
But this blog, published under the name of Wandering Scribe, was picked up by readers around the world and has provided a remarkable way out of her homelessness. She has written her own escape story.
The story of her homelessness and her previous life is going to be turned into a book, with a publishing deal signed and the hardback scheduled to reach the bookshops next Spring.
In the space of a hectic few days, Anya Peters was taken on by Curtis Brown, one of the biggest literary agencies in London - and the subsequent book proposal sparked a bidding battle between publishers - eventually won by Harper Collins.
Still living in her car, she found herself in the surreal position of being homeless and taking calls offering her book deals, with reports about her blog appearing in papers such as the New York Times and Le Monde.
Amazon says Anya’s book will be available tomorrow (May 1st). The title: Abandoned: The True Story of a Little Girl Who Didn’t Belong. Here is a synopsis from the UK bookstore:
Abandoned’ is the true story of a childhood full of secrets, abuse and a little girl who didn’t belong. This inspirational story is about how one woman finally overcame her traumatic childhood and adult homelessness to find a place she could call home. ‘Abandoned’ tells the heartbreaking story of a little girl’s abusive childhood and her subsequent homelessness as an adult. Born illegitimately to Irish lovers, Anya was given away by her real mother and brought up in England by her loving aunt. However, her childhood with her new family was far from happy — verbally and sexually abused for years, Anya finally cracked. She was only 11 years old. Then, a few weeks after her violent uncle was taken away by the police for questioning, Anya lost her whole family overnight. They didn’t die, although they might as well have done; they just went away, abandoning her. There was no one else to care, so Anya pretended that she didn’t either. She learnt to shut down, and not to let anybody in. She thought that she had worked through it all, overcome it. But then, several years later, through a series of unrelated problems, her life imploded again. Several things ended together: a job, a relationship, money, luck — and she ended up homeless and living in her car in a laneway at the edge of the woods.
Will I live in the car?
If I was single right now I would just go ahead and try living in the car just for the challenge and experience. It would be fun to see how practical it is and how long I can last. Living in my car would be a great way to save on money.
I was even thinking I can sell all my stuff and raise enough money to buy a cheap van and convert it into a camper or buy a ready-to-go camper van. You can pick up a camper van on cragislist for under 5 grand. (It would be sweet to get one of them VW hippie buses. Hehe!). Having a bus instead of a car would make it easier for me to sleep and I can setup my office there.
All I need is my cell phone, my laptop and wireless card for my laptop. I can park at friends and family’s driveways overnight to avoid issues with police. I can maintain a gym membership where I will shower and exercise. My blog, once properly monetized with ads and other services, can produce enough money to survive like this indefinitely. I think I can live on less than $1,000 per month. (Some guy even wrote a book on how to live in a car). In one phrase it would be the ultimate mobile freedom!
But that’s all dreams.
My wife of 3 years would never go for something like that. Yes, I sometimes feel held back by marriage. The thoughts of doing “my own thing” come quite often. But then, after I think about it, I come to my senses.
I promised to God, to my wife and to all the witnesses that I will love her, serve her and take care of her the rest of my days on earth. I need to own up to my commitments and stick to my promises (for once). I need to do the right thing and “take care of my family”. Intellectually, I know that marriage is a blessing and will make me a better person if I just submit to it. But my impulses sometimes tell me otherwise. I need to control my impulses!
So I guess no living in the car for me… (Unless the wife kicks me out or something. I doubt it.)
Facing opportunity… must focus!
What I really need to do is stop all this scatter-brain stuff, get focused, get motivated and start digging out of this mess. My problem has been that I’m NOT used to having so many opportunities coming at me all at once.
My inbox still has about 1000 emails to go through. (It’s like panning for gold. I can see the nuggets but it takes time to sift and refine into something of value). I am looking at several strategic partnerships, potential book deal(s). To complicated things many partnerships and strategies are overlapping and conflicting.
And add financial pressure and lack of stable monthly income on top of all that. It’s so overwhelming that I will sometimes shut down, sleep all day, and avoid the computer and cell phone for a while. (I apologize for those trying to reach me.)
That’s what exposure will do to you. It attracts people, contacts and opportunities. However, managing multiple competing opportunities is the tough part. To succeed I am having to learn a whole new set of skills and a whole new level of focus. By personality, I already have a hard time saying “NO” and sticking to a strategy without being distracted the next “shiny thing”. This exposure and influx is making it worse.
I have plenty of opportunities to solve my cashflow problems, pay off all the debt and become successful. Again, I just need to make a plan and focus! Tomorrow is May 1st - a nice round date to start something new.
Enough talking. Going to go get that glass fixed and after that make a plan of action for the next 4 months. Signup for my personal mailing list and watch for an announcement tomorrow.
Letsdoit!

Anybody with the living in a van post still open in their browser, please snag that sucker.
@badjerjim: I think you're wrong, I think the IKEA furniture will NOT be on the front curb. Two months behind on rent qualifies for taking possession of everything that can't be nailed down and that doesn't have a permanent odor attached to it.
Nevermind, thanks badjerjim!
Thanks badj! you're on a roll today.
My call is that he's in serious "apologise to Galina mode" and/or "con the hell out of Yulia mode" at present.
I don't see why you have to delete postings in order to pack.
CASEY'S DELETED POST, ARCHIVED IN ITS ORIGINAL FORM FOR THAT RETARDED CASEY FLAVOR
I don't belive a word he posts anymore.
If this was a real post, and honest, even partially, he's seriously psychotic.
Nobody, and I mean nobody, sees living in acar as a learning experience to blog about.
If this was real, then Snowflake is bound and determined to be famous. Note that it's more important to know about some lady who lived in her car and got a book deal than it is to actually pay rent - it's like he WANTS misfortune.
Why?
He's psychotic...and it would make a more interesting book.
He'll do *anything* for fame.
That scares me.
I now believe he broke into his own car, to make the Series Of Unfortunate Events™ more pathetic.
I would be willing to wager he'll fake living in his car to get a book deal - meanwhile living at home or at Yulia's.
I simply do not believe a word he posts now.
Believe him at your own peril. I'm not angry anymore, he fooled me too. This is "LonelyGirlinSac".
Haterz,
Nigel knows Casey is trolling you. Nigel finds this funny because Nigel knows all about trolls. Nigel likes trolls. They are cute and fuzzy and sometimes do disgusting yet magical things. When Nigel pets Nigel's troll it likes it...a lot.
Oops, Nigel bad. You haterz are talking about Internets trolls, right? Nigel thought you were talking about Nigel's troll.
What was Nigel originally talking about, oh yes...Casey. Nigel thinks he's trolling you bigtime. Nigel also believes Casey wrote some trollbait that got him in trouble with his little wife. Nigel would never troll on the Internets and piss off the wife. No way. Nigel knows where his bread is buttered.
Swaby OUT!
Casey is a joke.
The NIGEL sent me over here to knock some sense into your little peon skulls. Though I'm unassuming to look at, you DON'T want to mess with me. I don't have ANY sympathy for bad guys AND I'm an avid outdoorsman.
Look, if you don't stop talking shit about the NIGEL, I'll have you know that at the drop of a hat I WILL research some evidence and with that in hand drop the bomb on your haterz asses. You best recognize!
I can multiply your problems, divide your numbers, and reduce you to a fraction of what you once were. Then I'll subtract your difference and carry your remainder out the door. I am the total solution, and yes, my values are absolute.
If I was in Caseys shoes, I'd probably be psychotic by now, or at least hope to be.
Casey and his immense laziness has lead him to this dead end. Life is just starting to slap him in the face. If he can't handle now, he surely won't handle two months from now.
He's fucked himself anyway you look at it. Some people spend the rest of their lives overcoming what he's done. I wonder if that'll be him.
"Signup for my personal mailing list and watch for an announcement tomorrow."
I wonder why he can't put it on his blog. What will he be announcing anyway, that he got his window fixed? That he's written a 4-month plan of inaction? Or that Yulia kicked him out and he's now living in his car?
If Yulia really does boot his arse to the grass he can't go and live with his parents, because he's just blogged about how cool it would be to live in his car. On the other hand, if Yulia kicks out the both of them, they should live with Casey's parents, then Casey can claim that he's only in the house due to Galina.
See haterz,
Mess with Nigel and Nigel will send Nigel's forensic accountant/ninja warrior after you. Nigel don't suffer foolishness very easily. Nigel is tired of being a butt of jokes. Why does Nigel lump haterz together? Because Nigel hates to be the butt...of jokes.
Love Nigel dammit! Nigel sure does. Remember, it's all about Nigel's forensic accountant ninja warrior. He will find any haterz who questions Nigel's integrity!
And no, Nigel will not stop referring to Nigel in the third person. Nigel LOVES the power it brings Nigel.
Swaby OUT!
Casey's definitely back in the "high" part of his manic-depressive self.
Man of action, super planner -
sleeps all day with the rent unpaid.
"Think I'll blog about Anya Peters;
that'll make the bad world go away".
Thanks BadjerJim for the text capture and Al Lewis for the Casey-like feel.
Snowflake might have had a moment of clarity, put fingers to the keyboard, posted the latest entry, and snapped back into his reality.
Yeah, right. He's trolling.
I'm pretty sure the comments about his wife "holding him back" made Galina snap out of it and remind Snowflake where she has his balls stored (in his manbag, of course).
