Specific criticism of smart growth, neotradtional, forms based, new urbanism and other top down planner schemes to increase urban extent and density. Ventura County, California specific examples.

List of Things I Learned From the Casey Serin Saga
#1 Never post your personal information (for yourself or members of your family), and never, ever, ever, post details of your personal finances, on the Internet. Just don't. Fate has a way of rendering that information relevant and dangerous in the most surprising of ways.
#2 If you make yourself a public figure, people will hate you no matter what. Any failings, real or perceived, will be used as an excuse to mock your family, your religion, your fashion sense (or lack thereof), and anything or anyone with which you are publicly associated. The solution is, quite simply, to ignore it. Any attempt to fight, or conciliate or (even worse) try and befriend the "haters" will backfire horribly and result in only more derision.
#3 If you make yourself a public figure, people will provide surprisingly valuable feedback and criticism. Unfortunately, the critics are very difficult to distinguish from the "haters" (and a few might play both roles.) The way to tell the difference is in the details; legitimate critics will focus on specific issues and have concrete recommendations, while the "haters" will shoot at anything that moves into their line of sight.
#4 Acknowledge and respond honestly to criticism. That doesn't mean you have to agree with it. Acknowledge it, and if you intend to follow it, say so, and then do it. If you disagree, say so, but at the same time, you need to admit it if you turn out to be wrong. On the flip side, if the critics were wrong, you are fully justified in holding them to it.
#5 Don't publicly attach yourself to another person unless it is someone who is worthy of emulation and has a proven track record of success. Don't try to leach publicity off of somebody else, it just looks pathetic.
#6 All those things that people always say about having a clear vision, setting concrete goals, putting together a plan, getting an education, and working hard, are for real. Having high aspirations without any preparation, without a plan, and without any hard work is what psychologists call delusions of grandeur.
#7 Don't flout the law. This lesson hasn't been fully illustrated yet, but I think it will at some point.
Here is the re direct. I do not think it is over. Is this old news? Last blog comment was April, 2007. Thoughts Thinkers? _________________________
Welcome to AbleBuyer.com January 11th, 2007
Here is a basic install of WordPress. Please be patient as I am still trying to settle my mess from 2006 and get going again. It’s taking me longer than I thought.
1. See IamFacingForeclosure.com for more on that. 2. Contact me or join my mailing list to be notified of major announcements.
I’m still playing with slogans, business plans, investment strategies, etc..
I took it a step further. I viewed source, edited the HTML to put my "FIRST & MURST" at the top and then printed it out and tacked it to the wall above my monitors so that I can look at it constantly and be reminded of my biggest goals in life. :)
The reason the gubbermint cannot or will not prosecute Serin is that the WHOLE FRAUDCONOMY™ is based on fraud, bubbles, ponzi. Its the new paradigm™. ™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™
I can't believe I changed my plans for the podcast tonight. BTW, this algae reminded me of Casey's Modesto pool: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2007/05/31/international/i132216D01.DTL&feed=rss.news
Okay, I just got my copy of The Big Lebowski in the mail, so I'm out for the day. Gonna get some groceries™, beer and kick back with The Dude. (The original Dude, that is, not The Dude of Firsts here at EN.)
Wait guys - don't leave yet!! I am thinking of ideas - I'm an idea man, remember?? How about an auction for my virginity? I hear some girl is gonna film her herself loosing it to some dude and is gonna get paid for it!
Reading IAFF was a once-in-a-lifetime experience for me. All the elements for a fascinating story came together in this blog -- RE, grifting, haterz, intimate financial and personal information, highs, lows, betrayals and reversals of fortune.
Many contributors made me laugh, inspired me and most importantly made me think.
Why is Galina's picture on his myspace page? I thought she was OFF LIMITS... ----------------------------- LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL OMG, is there something wrong with me? That is effing hilarious!!!!!!!!! LOLOLOLOLOLL
Wow, while we are reminiscing... remember way back when big bad LossMitPro was gonna tell everyone about copyrights, and lay off hiz boy Casey or else, and how he was gonna save the sweet fair hand of Princess Galina...
Why... [cue up flashback music & fade...] it seems like it was only yesterday...
It should be available for download from TalkShoe after the talkcast -- same deal as with Casey's talkcasts, but without the naggling worry that you might be providing Casey with a dirty penny of income.
I love you, CHJTS and Benny too. Would you care to be a part of the auction for my virginity? Nigel says he is determined not to loose out on this once in a lifetime sweeeet opportunity so bid high and bid often!
I'm sorry but I have to repeat myself about seeing IAFF news today:
BAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa HA HAAAA HAHAHHAHAHAHHAHA
On man, this is funny.
Imagine Casey trying to get a W2 Loser Job. Imagine his co-workers knowing that this new person sees them as Loosers, working for a Looser, in a Looser envrionment.
I left work early to pick up my new glasses, AND also to catch the talkcast (goign to grill up a cube steak sandwich with 2 slices of bacon and provolone cheese, NICE)
So, I can only listen if I call? I do not really want to talk to him again, but I want to hear every word. Who is calling in tonight to reprezent the EN Haterz?
Yep, I'm here. I'll cover the 'cast, maybe call in for a few minutes. I did answer your emails and resond to requests. Unfortunately today's activity crushed my mail server and I'm busy tracking lost messages and doing workarounds. Let's see.
and steph....we will be able to hear you just fine.
the longest I can do the talkcast is until 7pm because I have to be somewhere at 8.
I would have done it tomorrow in place of caseys' usual friday night foreclosure..but I am going to the beach in the morning and wont be around until sunday afternoonish.
I was just thinking about this scenario -- he seemed a little too successful with the money last week. If you think about the worst case (the Case) -- it certain follows, because now, I suppose, he has to pay back the advertizers as well?
No, imo, he is not selling. It is his mistriss/drug and he has re-directs on the IAFF finale page to slick advertisers, technorati articles about him and EN (he he) and his other blog. Oh and his "my space". It is the grandest of all cliff hangers. No where is LMP to be seen.
4:47 and 4:50, I also think maybe he is still planning on selling it. Remember, he agreement with his wife said that should he violate the contract IAFF would be ONLY a blank page, however the current page is not that.
(I'm surprised that Casey would write a detailed note to Swaby. During the last callins Casey seemed down on Swaby)
I think the other posters that wrote that his message on IAFF doesn't preclude him from starting a 'isurvivedforeclosure.com' portal for foreclosure... 'recovery'?
Just to prove to the Loverz that we Haterz can talk about other things... what do y'all think about the new Google map search function that let's us get so close we can see Steph's toe ring?
I wondered how long it would take for the wrecking ball (blue) that is Casey Serin to realize that his creditors were going to see that money and call him for it. Can you imagine the lunacy of letting everybody, (including all your family), that you borrowed from know that you are pulling in all that money?
You've got to admit, he went out in grand, self-destructive style. Here's hoping his family gets him a psychologist and a lawyer, and it needs to be in that order.
I think the collections heat along with the family pressure got to be too much for Casey.
LPM stepped in and brought other mitigators on-board. Lender-ignore-mode was becoming impossible at this point. Same for tax-entities and there's also the possibility that civil suits were being threatened by Caseys personal lenders.
The threat of criminal charges is an on-going consideration.
At this point the blog still has value. I think LMP advised Casey to cut and run with the money before it's too late.
84 comments:
Murst!!!!
Murst again!
last?
Last first!
Fifth?
Doh! Not murst after all.
C U R S E D
Is the talkshoe at ID: 34513 or 34478 ... there appear to be two versions (??).
I think the comments link is deceptive. It should be "1 first, 1 murst, 3 attempts at first/murst and nn Astute Observations." where nn = total_comments - 5
Minth!
Oh, how I will (not really) miss IAFF.
dm, why you gotta hate on all our firstness? If only you had the gutz to try for first.
I'm totally jealous, that's why I hate. Just like I wuz totally jealous of Casey's sweet RE success and bizness chops. :)
I'm seriously going to get FF&M one of these days...
"I'm not talkin' 'bout pleasure boatin' or day sailin'. I'm talkin' 'bout workin' for a livin'. I'm talkin' 'bout... sharkin'! "
benoit it is 34513 ..the other one I screwed up on not realizing the default is EST not PST.
so I made the other one a test one to see how it worked.
So 34513 is the correct one
(since I can't make the talk session . . . )
In an effort to avoid facing the inevitable fact that the Casey drama has been a waste of my time, I decided to put together this, the . . .

@ABL:

™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™

You could also use "the Dude" approach and remove all outside distractions and devote yourself 100% to First.
technorati has a list of Casey's gone stories and Patrick.net wants to know who EN will out next.
good stuff, imo.
http://patrick.net/wp/?p=468
#8 Don't confuse notoriety with fame. Different animals, and they will bite you in the ass.
#9 Never censor discussion after you've allowed it.
#10 Don't blog about breaking the law, and then flaunt it and get pissy when people bring it up.
#11 Open your mail when you get it.
#12 If it's free, and on the web, it's worth what you pay for it.
#13 Victims attract predators. See: sick gazelle. LossMitPro was to be expected.
#14 Pleather is always a bad choice.
#15 Guns and women are sexy
#16 If someone tries to sell you a house, Google their name.
I'm trying to clear my schedule for the next week to focus full time on becoming lord of the mursts.
New topic.
My screen name feels wrong now, I'm thinking of changing it to "America's Most Hatted Blogger". What do you think?
I can't believe I changed my plans for the podcast tonight.
BTW, this algae reminded me of Casey's Modesto pool: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2007/05/31/international/i132216D01.DTL&feed=rss.news
(Ex) Trainwreckwatcher:
Having high aspirations without any preparation, without a plan, and without any hard work is what psychologists call delusions of grandeur.
You give him too much credit. Casey's problem is that he suffers from delusions of adequacy.
So, if Casey give money back from the adverts he had... does that mean he won't have $1,000 in cash on the kitchen table Friday?
Where will Casey get his sweet media fix? (reading here?)
Who will Mocha fawn all over drunkenly now?
These are important questions. I need some answers.
Okay, I just got my copy of The Big Lebowski in the mail, so I'm out for the day. Gonna get some groceries™, beer and kick back with The Dude. (The original Dude, that is, not The Dude of Firsts here at EN.)
I would love to join the podcast tonight but I have nothing to talk about.
You think you have it bad!
Caseys Sex Life, now no one will ever understand our names. We will fade away like so many Casey memories...
*sigh*
Snowflake is not done by a long shot, our little attn whore has now technorati link in his "goodbye" message.
I can see him now, sneaking into the bathroom with his pda making edits to his blog that is supposed to be all gone.
Wait guys - don't leave yet!! I am thinking of ideas - I'm an idea man, remember?? How about an auction for my virginity? I hear some girl is gonna film her herself loosing it to some dude and is gonna get paid for it!
I could do that!
Reading IAFF was a once-in-a-lifetime experience for me. All the elements for a fascinating story came together in this blog -- RE, grifting, haterz, intimate financial and personal information, highs, lows, betrayals and reversals of fortune.
Many contributors made me laugh, inspired me and most importantly made me think.
Can somebody please post an MP3? I'll be engaged in massive focused action tonight. West coast, looser W2 job, etc.
Why is Galina's picture on his myspace page? I thought she was OFF LIMITS...
She's been OFF LIMITS to me for years.............
Why is Galina's picture on his myspace page? I thought she was OFF LIMITS...
-----------------------------
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
OMG, is there something wrong with me? That is effing hilarious!!!!!!!!!
LOLOLOLOLOLL
Almost 20,000 page views AT EN today - Casey must be sobbing in the bathroom as he hides to check his PDA....
So, um, how long did Casey actually uphold his contract™, assuming he bit the dust yesterday?
I'm going to miss yet another podcast, and I had this special poem to read just for CHJTS.
Oh well.
I have to go inspect the roof of a facility.
Adieu.
Wow, while we are reminiscing... remember way back when big bad LossMitPro was gonna tell everyone about copyrights, and lay off hiz boy Casey or else, and how he was gonna save the sweet fair hand of Princess Galina...
Why... [cue up flashback music & fade...] it seems like it was only yesterday...
BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Can somebody please post an MP3?
It should be available for download from TalkShoe after the talkcast -- same deal as with Casey's talkcasts, but without the naggling worry that you might be providing Casey with a dirty penny of income.
@ mejustme
That is what I'd like to know! Where is the $1000 cash on the kitchen table going to come from? Only about 24 hours before that payment is due...
Poor LMP - he has been diligently working on next Wednesday's post .... to educate us unwashed barbarians.
At the risk of repeating myself - 100,000 sperm and HE is the one that made it????????
OMG! I hope I don't get sued!
@mejustme -- he signed the Agreement on May 17th; so just under two weeks.
So: how long is he going to honor the Consequences?
stephj.
You can still call in on your cell phone and hear the talkcast.
It gives a live feed via your cell phone ......you can be anywhere and still here it.
and talk too when I unmute you.
I am trying to plan a couple cool things for it.
If it goes badly I will cut it off at the half hour mark.
but if there is allot of interaction I will take it to the hour and beyond..I am hoping rob dawg will call in for a q and a.
and benoit too.
and all the other haterz...hell even the supporterz can call in and lambast the haters.
hell even the supporterz can call in and lambast the haters.
Hopefully Mocha will be nicely baked when she calls in...
well I was trying to get into Casey character by taking a nap..but since it is the middle of the day and light outside I couldnt fall asleep.
@CHJTS
Just went to your blog - why the hate for Benoit? Enquiring minds want to know!
spacecasey.
I dont hate benoit.
I am just busting his balls a little bit.
ya know..shit talking amongst the boyz (tm).
Benoit can take it.
He knows I love him.
(plutonic way--not casey/nigel way)
Best news I've heard all day!
I love you, CHJTS and Benny too. Would you care to be a part of the auction for my virginity? Nigel says he is determined not to loose out on this once in a lifetime sweeeet opportunity so bid high and bid often!
I'm sorry but I have to repeat myself about seeing IAFF news today:
BAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa HA HAAAA HAHAHHAHAHAHHAHA
On man, this is funny.
Imagine Casey trying to get a W2 Loser Job. Imagine his co-workers knowing that this new person sees them as Loosers, working for a Looser, in a Looser envrionment.
The thoughs are endless...
NPR -- All things considered; doing a story about Sacramento houses still on the market with green pools -- and the inevitable mosquito problem. LOL!
casey's sex life.
Call in to the talkcast in a bit and we can auction off your virginity......
we will have people type messages and take their calls if they have any questions regarding your virginity.
I hope rob is around to start a new thread for the talkcast in a bit.
When is the talkcast?
5pm PST = right when I am driving home. Bleh.
Ditto.
I left work early to pick up my new glasses, AND also to catch the talkcast (goign to grill up a cube steak sandwich with 2 slices of bacon and provolone cheese, NICE)
Naked Jeeps are too noisy to call in with my cellphone. I'll be on the road for an hour. So... ::whine:: Once again, I miss out.
So, I can only listen if I call? I do not really want to talk to him again, but I want to hear every word.
Who is calling in tonight to reprezent the EN Haterz?
er, tomorrow night rather.
CHJTS
Do we need to sign in to talk on the podcast?
Yep, I'm here. I'll cover the 'cast, maybe call in for a few minutes. I did answer your emails and resond to requests. Unfortunately today's activity crushed my mail server and I'm busy tracking lost messages and doing workarounds. Let's see.
We need Galina Serin to call in and tells us how it all came down.
We also need Steve Serin to call in and let us know if his foot is still in Casey's Ass or if he manged to get it out by now?
That is why you are the Alpha Man, Dawg,
yes spaceycasey you do.
and steph....we will be able to hear you just fine.
the longest I can do the talkcast is until 7pm because I have to be somewhere at 8.
I would have done it tomorrow in place of caseys' usual friday night foreclosure..but I am going to the beach in the morning and wont be around until sunday afternoonish.
Does anyone think Casey is selling the site?
I think his "team" advised him to do this.
I was just thinking about this scenario -- he seemed a little too successful with the money last week. If you think about the worst case (the Case) -- it certain follows, because now, I suppose, he has to pay back the advertizers as well?
MOIST!
Did anyone answer Ogg's question of who posted last? That should be as special an honour as FIRST!
@All you freaks
I have to get on the road. For some reason the talk-cast page isn't coming up; I'm suspecting it's my work's firewall at work.
So, I will regretfully be unable to read my oeuvre to everyone, so here it is:
Ode to CHJTS
- By Stephanie J.
CHJTS is a capitol Fellow
Even if he thinks my Jeep is Yellow.
He has been spying on me for some time
From a hunting blind up in the pines
I really think he means no harm,
Probably because he knows I’m armed.
His promises of Motel dates;
And Beer demands, they hold no weight.
He must know this truth right now,
It might break his heart somehow,
Yes, he could stalk me until 2011
But my will always belong to the Original Kevin
(He was my original admirer, after all)
No, imo, he is not selling. It is his mistriss/drug and he has re-directs on the IAFF finale page to slick advertisers, technorati articles about him and EN (he he) and his other blog. Oh and his "my space".
It is the grandest of all cliff hangers. No where is LMP to be seen.
4:47 and 4:50, I also think maybe he is still planning on selling it. Remember, he agreement with his wife said that should he violate the contract IAFF would be ONLY a blank page, however the current page is not that.
(I'm surprised that Casey would write a detailed note to Swaby. During the last callins Casey seemed down on Swaby)
I think the other posters that wrote that his message on IAFF doesn't preclude him from starting a 'isurvivedforeclosure.com' portal for foreclosure... 'recovery'?
I do hope Casey is miserable right now.
my heart, of course... oops.
@Rob ... for later.
Just to prove to the Loverz that we Haterz can talk about other things...
what do y'all think about the new Google map search function that let's us get so close we can see Steph's toe ring?
RingS
Love you guys... Have to go.. sick of the office. Later.
I may call in. If not, it will be fun to listen to you guys talk about stuff.
I wondered how long it would take for the wrecking ball (blue) that is Casey Serin to realize that his creditors were going to see that money and call him for it. Can you imagine the lunacy of letting everybody, (including all your family), that you borrowed from know that you are pulling in all that money?
You've got to admit, he went out in grand, self-destructive style. Here's hoping his family gets him a psychologist and a lawyer, and it needs to be in that order.
I think the collections heat along with the family pressure got to be too much for Casey.
LPM stepped in and brought other mitigators on-board. Lender-ignore-mode was becoming impossible at this point. Same for tax-entities and there's also the possibility that civil suits were being threatened by Caseys personal lenders.
The threat of criminal charges is an on-going consideration.
At this point the blog still has value. I think LMP advised Casey to cut and run with the money before it's too late.
AWESOME job BENOIT!
I'm in blog love with following unless they're taken:
* Benoit
* M. Singh
* Homey DA Clown
@ Akubi: I'm in blog love with following unless they're taken: Benoit
