09:21 pm I've been reading that eBay Guides thing, looking for new ideas for my next books, and I just came upon this:
I'm selling my second PS3, nothing special I made a $240 profit, I'm browsing for PS3 when I spot that the same item I just sold for $840 is selling for $1,100, I though to myself "are they given them away with games?" or free shipping or some kind of promotion because there in no way an item I sold just now is selling with nothing more than what I offer, in faq shipping was $30 more....was it well presented? NO, it had no mare than 4 sentences, mine had picture almost 3 pages worth of words and specs even videos ....so why it sold? the picture. What was so big about the picture? it had a girl, a half naked one in faq posing every part of her body next to the PS3 most of the 8 pictures where just close up of her bottom end next to the PS3. I guess the winner though it came with the PS3 or something because it sold an average of $400 more than the others.
I though about doing it my self and by asking my girlfriend to pose for my next item but I know she will not agree nor will I ask such an honest and respectfully person to do it......so I just ask my causing an man did the PS3 sell, I made $300 more than usual.
"I won't ask an honest and respectful person...so I'll go ask my cousin!" LOL
Now I just saw a feedback he received saying "You are a golden God, enveloped in a veil of excellence" lol...I've had some good ones too, but not quite that...guess I should call my cousin, LOL
My next book:
Weirdest Stuff I Read on eBay Today!
And I did go to Lac St-Joseph yesterday, and it was gorgeous as always :-) Tomorrow I think I'll go to Tewksbury and St-Gabriel-de-Valcartier, possibly even more gorgeous at this time of the year! Then will see if I can get some Halloween fun! Current Mood: amused Current Music: Van Halen I - "On Fire"

01:44 pm - Suck Session Life is a succession of misunderstandings A succession of people who don't even know you Who speculate about you behind your Shoving their speculum right up your
You think you reflect my reality But you forget that a mirror shows everything backwards Get the view from the horse's mouth Don't have the pretension of seeing everything forwards
Life is a succession of misunderstandings A succession of answers coming before questions Don't think you know me better than I know myself Ask. I'm no stereotype.
I'm given every intention in the world Every depiction of who I am; I know who I am Ask. I'm not your stereotype.
Everyone misinterprets everyone Everyone sees everyone as black or white There are no shades in between It's either all good or all bad Bipolar society
People have no definite clue of what they're talking about Yet have the pretension of taking their word as authority And take critical decisions based on it Or push others to take critical decisions based on it
They'll compare you to this and that "Oh he's like this oh he's like that" HEY! I'm no stereotype! Not everything's as it may seem!
I'm a man of contradictions For I stereotype everyone: "Everyone's like this oh they're like that" I too see life through speculums But at least I'm now aware of it.
Still I will trust my speculum on my life, On every part of my life, More than I will trust theirs: They're not even remotely close to knowing. The outside observer just can't know better than I Who's intimately involved.
And when I doubt, I'll ask, For we're not a stereotype.
(To be completed at some other time.)
With this text I talk to everyone, beginning with myself.
I think of all the times where I've had someone I care about be hurt, how I wanted to make them feel better. I'd often tend to take what they were telling me about, what/who had hurt them, what/who may have had them confused in some ways, and demonize it, like "that's wrong, this is wrong too", "you're so much better than that"...and often put the hurter in stereotypical categories, "s/he's like this, s/he's like that".
All I based it on was what I was hearing about, my whole perception of a person I didn't really know (I didn't know them, and didn't know their side of the story either) was based solely on words from someone while s/he was hurt, and someone who's hurt will often say things they wouldn't normally say, feel things they wouldn't normally feel...
I remember times where I'd be saying "I'm leaving this place, my mom did this, my mom did that, my mom is this, my mom is that...I have no mom" (happened often, especially a few years ago; hasn't happened in a long time though, things are fine; still will leave soon no matter what, but not for reasons of not having a good relationship with her), but gradually I'd start seeing things a bit differently, and we'd get to talk, and it would be worked out. I know when I'd tell people though, they'd be like I'd be with those I care about who are hurting. They too would all be on my side about leaving and "not having a mom": she had hurt me, she was seen as a bitch. At times where I felt confused about everything, hearing that just tended to confirm my feelings. Still, after some time, I'd be able to go back to seeing things more positively, and would actually have a talk with her.
The fact is, every person hurts every person sooner or later, so it doesn't mean everyone's actually bad, but if a person hears only the bad about a person, and sees the person they care about being hurt, it's sure their perception of the hurter will be bad, and it's sure they'll communicate this in pretty much any way they think will stop the person's suffering, any way that will have the person feel comforted...Problem is this often is only a temporary short-term "solution" which can actually do more wrong than good in the long run...
That's exactly how I've been most of my life, and it seems many people are the same way. To some extent, it's good to be this way, but to another, it can become bad. I'm realizing there are a few persons I should apologize to, especially one.
I look at how I'd be recently, in the past 3 months when I'd be told things by her, and it seems I'd often take it and be exactly like that. Then sometimes I'd mail an answer, and the way she feels would've changed between the time the letter was received on my end, and the reply was received on her end. When I mailed it, it was relevant based on what I was reading, yet it had changed, and what I was seeing couldn't be seen the same (when what I felt it was in most ways really was a reflection of what I had been hearing/reading). Same thing on my end, I could've mailed her something that was making me feel bad (which I chose not to do much, with the best intentions, but maybe in retrospect it was a mistake), and when I'd get her reply I wouldn't even feel bad about that thing anymore.
These past 3 months have taught me a lot of things about myself. What's happened in the past week has been teaching me a lot too.
Anyway, I think I'm gonna go to Lac St-Joseph and Ste-Catherine-de-la-Jacques-Cartier today. It's so beautiful this time of year, with all the colors in the trees.
It seems I've reached the autumn of my life in some way, but still see beauty through the windy, rainy days. Winter's coming (but last night's snow has melted; any snow melts: just needs a bit of warmth), but I look at spring. Current Mood: thoughtful Current Music: Allman Brothers - "Melissa"

12:38 am - Ruminations When we ruminate it on and on and on, everything always gets worse than it really is.
There's actually negative that can be found in everything (and positive in everything), and in times past where I'd be depressed, I'd sometimes take something positive that happened, I'd take it well, but then would think some more about it...and it seems I'd always end up seeing it as negative (and forget the positive that was in it). I'd then end up adding everything positive together, make it a major negative, add it up to the strongly negative already present...
Then one day I'd get out of my depression, and I'd see how the way I had looked at things had had a direct impact on everything, and that what may have seemed like something to me at the time, really wasn't based on the facts (I actually was often even closing myself to really getting to know the facts), but based on my mood.
I have so many regrets that have come from that. I've closed myself to so much because of that.
In the last couple of days I've been making sure I remember that: it's really all a matter of how I look at things. Not everything is black or white: there are shades in between.

09:49 pm I've been feeling like hell all of last night and all of today because of the withdrawal crap, and having thoughts I thought only must have to do with that, but now I have a tangible reason to feel like hell. I really do always take the best times to attempt going off all that shit, don't I? Current Music: White Lion - Wait

03:16 am - Pictures Don't Do Her Justice A comment I had made a while ago on her Myspace:
I just can't take my eyes off you...and I feel you're looking right at me, well I'm looking right back at you, gazing into the most beautiful eyes ever created, the most beautiful woman ever to grace the face of the earth...the world was ugly before your birth, you came to life and made it beautiful...and I just want to say, many people here first get to know you from your pictures, and all are stunned by your beauty...well I just want to tell the world, as unbelievable as it may seem from seeing how infinitely sublime she is on the outside, she's even more beautiful on the inside than she is out...

12:06 am Well, it's August 15th...It's the National Acadian Day! My great-grandfather was Acadian. I've also been told that Gaudette came from Acadie. (Little known fact: my last name should actually be "Gaudette", but my grandfather didn't like this, so he removed the "te", and I am "Gaudet". Technically, I come from the Gaudette family.)
So, I guess, Happy National Day to me! :-D
I feel there's something else today, but I can't quite remember what :-/...Let me think...

03:15 am Well, it's been over 6 hours since I posted my new eBay listings. Yet, they still don't show up. Ah, good old eBay. I had had listings taking a couple of hours, but that breaks the record.
If they would refund me all the hours I've paid for where I didn't get what I was paying for...I'd be a millionaire by now ;-) Current Mood: awake Current Music: Bob Welch - "Sentimental Lady"

If you don't, you're just selfish!
Interesting thing is that high profile auctions like that can apparently list website links directly in their listings...They can go against eBay rules, while the regular seller can't. Or maybe there's another rule for charities.
