So today I get a message saying "Justine has sent you a message".

I open the message, and it reads:

"hello. I was wondering if you are (my full name). Son of (my mother's name) and (my father's name). I am asking because I believe I am a relative of yours and have been looking fo you. Please respond. This is not a joke."

I got one of these "are you(my name)" before, but it was from someone that I recognised that I went to high school with (and has no intention of "re-connecting" with)

This one, however, is different.

If she is related to me, I would have to guess it is via my father, who divorced my mom when I was like 2, and high tailed it to deadbeat dadtown.

I surfed her myspace page and it looks fairly legit as a personal page with pix of her family and lots of her kid, and no indication of "let me show you how to build personal wealth" kind of scammage.

So, on the one hand, I am mildly intrigued, but on the other hand if it turns out to be true, I don't really know what there would be to talk about concerning a father I know nothing about except he bailed on me for my whole life. For instance if she was to tell me he was dead or dying, I would be like "so?".

Sitting here writing this I'm getting kind of pissed at this stranger for making me think about it.

Freakin' internet. ]]> mrklixx http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/blogs/mrklixx/3568-long-lost-relative.html http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/blogs/mrklixx/2427-mexican-food-swine-flu.html Thu, 30 Apr 2009 00:58:16 GMT Had Lunch @ a Mexican restaurant called Matador today. Had a dish called "Pollo Loco" and it was quite tasty. We were the only ones in the joint for most of our meal. Granted it was in between meal times (3pm ish), but it got me wondering if Mexican restaurants in general are taking a hit due to the swine flu. You know, people staying away because they might be afraid that the workers might have visited relatives in the infected areas. I know it sounds silly, but if I thought about it, chances are other people have too. ]]> mrklixx http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/blogs/mrklixx/2427-mexican-food-swine-flu.html http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/blogs/mrklixx/1284-deity-grass.html Sat, 29 Nov 2008 04:06:52 GMT I went out to my car this evening, and I saw Jesus.

And he was lit.

There he was, sprawled on my neighbor's lawn, staring up at the stars. He seemed to be oblivious to the fact that it was 40 degrees outside and he was half naked.

There were people standing around him, but they were lit as well. They were all smiling and looked to be egging him on to make a spectacle out of himself.

All I know is whatever was warming their innards was definitely not the power of God, and someone was paying a pretty penny for it.

I just looked out the window, and he's still out there, blazing away. I bet he'll still be there in the morning, but he'll be completely out and covered in leaves and bird poop. ]]> mrklixx http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/blogs/mrklixx/1284-deity-grass.html http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/blogs/mrklixx/1275-thankful.html Thu, 27 Nov 2008 19:00:06 GMT I am thankful for Satanic fertility: Image: http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/4460/20060704deviledeggs1ve1.jpg (https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1174) Mmmmmmmmm I am thankful for Satanic fertility:

With all due respect , I absolutely shouldn't of said that. Even though it's a nightmare 24/7 being me, at the end of the day it's not rocket science . ]]> mrklixx http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/blogs/mrklixx/1079-10x-irritating-average-person.html http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/blogs/mrklixx/760-apology.html Thu, 02 Oct 2008 23:27:15 GMT I just wanted to apologize about my hissy fit a couple of days ago. Like I told someone else, I have to chalk it up to unexpected temporary depression insanity. I probably need some medicine, who knows.

Anyway, I'm feeling much better now. :thumbsup: ]]> mrklixx http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/blogs/mrklixx/760-apology.html http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/blogs/mrklixx/759-my-avatar.html Thu, 02 Oct 2008 23:17:48 GMT I was asked to explain my avatar, so here goes:


There are actually a couple of different things going on with it. Because my handle is mrklixx (which is another dumb story), I think of the gears going click,click.click. Also since it is basically "gears behind klixx", I think of it as the gears in my head clunking around. :)

Concerning avatars, I am of the opinion (obviously not a popular one, surprise surprise) that one should not change their avatar often, if ever. Because, to me, it is basically your "face" on a board. When people change up their avatars often, it can be a bit disconcerting.

I have, however, wished for a long time that we were allowed to have small pix in our signatures. Because that is something that I would be apt to change to fit the mood. ]]> mrklixx http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/blogs/mrklixx/759-my-avatar.html http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/blogs/mrklixx/753-jozrael.html Thu, 02 Oct 2008 05:16:23 GMT Here's my blurb (hope it doesn't get any on you ;) )

I'm a 38 year old married guy.

While that may not seem like much info to you, it's actually pretty huge, because I've never posted my age and marital status to an internet forum before.

While my body certainly feels like it's going on 40, my mind is split on the issue. I like all kinds of stuff that I did when I was a kid (video games, comics, cartoons, sci-fi, toys, etc), but I don't like kids (get off my lawn!). ]]> mrklixx http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/blogs/mrklixx/753-jozrael.html http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/blogs/mrklixx/732-its-broked.html Tue, 30 Sep 2008 19:29:31 GMT I think my outgoing pm box is broken.
