Waiting on Things, Don’t Feel Like Blogging…
A few things are in limbo right now, so I don’t have anything super important to blog about on this post.
The inexorable wheels of justice are grinding me down.
In the past when I had no major news l would resort to posting a foreclosure-related email or something creative / random that comes to mind, though I usually found a way to keep it on the foreclosure topic one way or another. For this post I don’t feel like being creative for your guys. The blog is closing soon so I don’t need to work so hard. Maybe I’m getting lazy or trying to break a bad habit.
I realize now my blogging efforts have been for naught and the last 10 months have been ill spent.
Some of you don’t realize how much pressure it is to keep 8,000+ daily visitors coming back. Well, I normally don’t think of it as pressure but rather something I just do (for the last 10 months). This is the first time in my life I have an “audience”. My life and the blog have integrated so much that I found myself in the past making certain choices with the perspective of how “blogable” it will be. Always thinking of a new angle!
I only know how to manipulate not produce anything of value.
I’ve poured too much of myself into this thing - both in time and the level of exposure. And I’m now paying the price. It’s quite steep. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve had fun too. And received lots of amazing benefits. But is it worth the hurt and pain that I caused to people around me and to MYSELF?
I've comitted too many crimes and now it hurts. [Note: it has just barely begun to be uncomfortable. The hurt is coming but for Snowflake he cannot imagine worse until it happens. Never could, never will. Remember all his "I never imagined she would..." or "they are bluffing..." commernts?]
And stop bugging me about stuff I promised I was gonna write about, spreadsheets, questions I didn’t answer, etc. And don’t tell me “But you promised!”. I’ve broken so many promises… it’s sad. The guilt. The consequences. I can choose to close my eyes but the effects are still there.
I'm still in work ingnore mode and BTW all that talk of changing was an outright lie to try to heep my empire and marriage.
I need to start telling myself the truth. I’m great at deceiving myself (and others). Telling myself the truth includes admitting that, YES, indeed I left my wife. I’m not talking leaving physically necessarily. Of course bringing the blog back up and leaving to Australia for a month was definitely the last straw, even though I tried to deny it.
But I'll be damned if I admit the haterz™ were right all along on everything.
But I’m talking about attitude. I “left her” in the way I’ve been pursuing MY goals and MY business - leaving her to the side. All the “short cuts” and impulsive decisions didn’t help either. I left a long time ago. Years ago.
I need to justify my lack of remorse by pretending this is something that happened a long time ago.
Perhaps everything that has been happening to me is one BIG slap in the face. A slap in the face to wake me up and open my eyes. I hope I can wake up quickly enough.
I have hangman's remorse. Dead boi walking.

Nah. This is just the "depressive" part of the cycle. Casey will be riding high on an "itsallgood" wave by the Friday talkcast - that's my prediction.
@ Rob Dawg
I know you can't share everything, but once the blog goes down, will there be EN updates on the perp walk and the impending court trial? For my .02 he can keep the blog as long as he answers to his crimes.
I can share everything. We still have sources. They are just quiet now because nothing is happening. Given the value of the event we probably won't be the first to cover the perp walk but there will definitely be details galore and information on and from the other players. Heck, this could turn into the first trial by internet in history.
I think we're finally there. That point about 80 minutes into the movie. We've spent that time looking at all the clues, the foreshadowing, yelling at the screen to the protagonist, "WAKE UP! DON'T YOU SEE WHAT'S COMING?!?"
Finally, the big storm appears on the horizon. It's so obvious now, no one could miss it. The behemoth bears down upon those poor unfortunates that refused to accept the truth. Now comes the entertainment of "I told you so!" as we watch cheerleaders and jocks get torn to shreds in gruesome, horrorific ways.
Oh wait, this post wasn't about the housing bubble. Eh, I guess it works for Casey's situation too :P
"It's easy to spot the abandoned homes that lenders seized from cash-strapped owners in Chula Vista. Look for a dried-up front lawn, broken windows and – the dead giveaway – a green, swamplike swimming pool."

$500 Million Dollar Bailout Extended to US Mortgage Borrowers
Jul 24, 2007 -- Several different US states have or are set to announce multi-million dollar bailout plans for mortgage borrowers who are in danger of losing their home. Will the money come from taxpayer pockets?
Should borrowers who signed loan documents be held accountable for their actions? While some would answer with a resounding yes, lobbyists have convinced several US states that the answer is no. As a result, states like Massachusetts, New York, and Ohio will collectively extend nearly $500 million to delinquent homeowners. Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Maryland have similar plans in the works.
State Bailout in $ Borrowers to be Helped
Massachusetts $250 million 1,000
New York $100 million 500
Ohio $100 million TBA
Pennsylvania TBA TBA
New Jersey TBA TBA
Maryland TBA TBA

Prices Rise, Existing-Home Sales Decline in June
"modest gain in home prices" ?
When released a year ago median price was $231,000 but now (no doubt due to better data :) the median price for june 2006 is given as $229,300 and as if by magic we have a gain!
Thats not a bail out for borrowers, its a bail out for lenders.
and its disgusting.
so the average borrower needing bailing in Massachusetts is going to get 250k? I wonder if I buy a condo now, and I stop paying claiming predatory lending, am I eligible, where do I sign?
Hey
Are the trolls are sleeping in late, or just sucking their dad's junk while wiggling their finger in their own butt hole?
Sure is quiet around here when they disappear..
Maybe Casey can get the supporterz together and start Losers Annonymous conference call on Friday.

Gov Patrick of Mass came up with another gem yesterday.
http://www.boston.com/business/articles/2007/07/25/foreclosure_plan_would_make_lenders_pay/
Basically it is a mandated cash for keys program.
Maybe Casey can get a job to head it. His grifting ways sure fit in well with the corrupt group up there.
I'm still at a loss. I seriously hope some bombs drop for him (Dallas style). He has had every opportunity to pull himself out of this mess.
Rob -- I'm still in work ingnore mode
... and spell-check ignore mode as well! ::ba-dum-ching:: ;-)
God I love it when they start flailing and splashing about...it's human "pot-luck".
Whine: Bite!
Holler: Bite-bite!
Scream: Bite-bite-bite!

Oh great. The lender not only rewards the delinquent payers for not paying their mortgage by giving them first and last month's rent for free, but pays for their moving expenses!
Why not also make the lender responsible for finding them a decent place to move to, and helping them pack? These people are suffering for God's sake!
It seems like the country is leaning towards protecting the irresponsible Caseys of the world and jerks like us who pay our bills are on our own.

It pays to play the victim in this country. It's never your fault. Always someone elses. Philip Morris MADE me smoke and I got cancer. McDonalds MADE me eat their big macs and I got fat. The predatory lenders MADE me sign my loan and now I am going to lose my house.
What happened to the notion of accountability in this country? When did we lose sight of the concepts that define us as a nation? Especially the notion of being independent and NOT expecting government handouts or expecting the government to save us from our own stupidity?
Honestly, if they ever wonder why the nation is in a downward spiral, its due to the fact that the true hard workers and the fiscally responsible are now depressed and resentful. They are tired of all this horseshit and I think, for the most part, want people to begin running their OWN lives and not expect to be coddled by the government teet.
Casey personifies this. A typical generation Yer with a massive sense of entitlement but no sense of accountability. Or common sense. And finally, no 'cents'. :-)
But geez. Our health care costs are at nightmarish levels. Thanks in large part to lawsuits. Our REAL inflation rate is growing faster than our wages. Thanks in part to this easy flow of credit and absolutely no recriminations for over-extending oneself. Or, as it seems, no recrimination for even committing fraud!
Thanks FBI. Go fuck yourselves. We'd prosecute a guy for being caught on a 7-11 survelence camera for stealing a loaf of bread. But hey, steal $2.2 million? That's ok cause we are the FBI and we only go after big fish. Blow me, you pretentious, self-righteous, holier-than-though douchebags. If $2.2 million isn't "big fish", than I would love to see their definition.
Standard issue delusional Casey..
"Yeah, I left her.."
What a tool..
Good Luck G!
Rob Dawg: Your analysis of his post was fabulous..
4 hours and still no trolls.
Do you think Marty had finally thrown in the towel and called off the virtural trollerz?
Might he have been gotten a call from the same folk(s) who ruined Murseboi's day?
Where could those trolls be off to?
The Price is Right website to attack Drew Carey getting Bob Barker's job???
It is getting real quiet around here. When this happens on the boat, we batten down the hatches, and tie off the sails cause it usually means a nasty storm is coming soon.

You guys keep asking why flippy is still blogging instead of just pulling the plug. I wouldn't be surprised if his site going down doesn't correspond with the release of the book.
Tom,
I agree with almost everything you said, apart from singling out Gen Y'ers as the problem. (I'm not a gen Y myself BTW).
Greed, self entitlement and fiscal irresponsibility is pretty much a given for every generation presently in this country. It's not the Gen Y'ers that are insisting on unreasonable pensions or health plans, after all. Moreover, there are plenty of baby boomers that have stuffed themselves in RE speculation and HELOCs too.
There is plenty of blame to go around.

$500 Million Dollar Bailout Extended to US Mortgage Borrowers...
US $500 mil is like hunting grizzly bears with a BB gun at this point.
@Harold,
What you say is true. As a Generation Xer, I know similar statements were made in regards to my generation.
Ultimately though, I think this really started with the Baby Boomers. Prior to that, people still had the Great Depression and WWII on their minds. People seemed a little more level headed and less greedy. Or perhaps that is just my perception. I wasn't actually alive back then.
Nowadays, its MTV Cribs. In the 80s, it was "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous".
Now don't get me wrong; I have no problem with people wanting to be wealthy. My issue resides in those individuals that feel they are entitled to wealth but do not have the mental acumen or strong work ethic required to achieve their goal. Often, that is a fault of the way we portray the wealthy. All the get rich quick philosophies give the impression that it is 'easy' and 'anyone can do it'. But naturally, like any flim-flam, its all talk and no substance.
Maybe what really bothers me is just the sheer ignorance I see demonstrated in our society. The whining Casey's who feel nothing is their fault because they didn't 'know'. 'Nobody told me'. Yada yada.
And geez, look at our leaders. What other country in the world (other than Iran) can have people running for a nomination and raise their hands in self-righteous idignation when they are asked if they don't believe in evolution?
We are a laughing stock. We've become that rich kid down the block who has wealth through his parents but is actually dimwitted.
And that's sad.
Investment Outlook
Bill Gross August 2007
Enough is Enough
Low policy rates in many countries and narrow credit spreads have encouraged levered structures bought in the hundreds of millions by lenders, in an effort to maximize returns with what they thought were relatively riskless loans. Those were the ABS CDOs, CLOs, and levered CDO structures that the rating services assigned investment grade ratings to, which then were sold with enticing LIBOR + 100, 200, 300 or more types of yields. The bloom came off the rose and the worm started to turn, however, when institutional investors – many of them foreign – began to see the ratings downgrades in ABS subprime space. Could the same thing happen to levered structures with pure corporate credit backing? To be blunt, they seem to be thinking that if Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s have done such a lousy job of rating subprime structures, how can the market have confidence that they’re not repeating the same structural, formulaic, mistake with CLOs and CDOs? That growing lack of confidence – more so than the defaults of two Bear Stearns hedge funds and the threat of more to come – has frozen future lending and backed up the market for high yield new issues such that it resembles a constipated owl: absolutely nothing is moving.

If the states bail out deadbeats who are over their heads with their mortgages and bring them current, what incentive is there for them to pay on the new mortgages? They've already been bailed out once and will come to expect the mortgage equivalent of the Greenspan put. There should be a concurrent lien placed on the home to capture any potential future equity appreciation.
Oh, you got me good Dawg! I thought Casey finally had an epiphany.
By the way, I'm looking to cut a deal to buy a bridge in New York and lease it back to the city. Anybody have any leads?
Hey Kidz,
Don't forget to vote for the 6 Degrees of Casey Serin to Einstein Win-Win Winner!
