#TrueBlood S03E09

#TalkNerdyToMeLover's @maniacalmorgan

Guys and girls, if you're one of those "Oh, I'll watch it soon" people, you need to SNAP OUT OF IT! Get on your Netflix, download it on iTunes, or find a torrent... I don't care how you do it, you should be watching this show. This is no Twilight. Sure, it has to do with romance, vampires, werewolves, and other supernatural creatures, but there is no God damn sparkling going on. When a vampire steps into the light, he/she bursts into flames (unless you saw S03E08). Enough with the background, let's talk about what's been happening.

This is a spoiler alert. If you are not up to date (Season 3, Episode 9) do not read the next paragraph.

What have we seen this season? Vampires, werewolves, and lots of man on man action. Honestly, things are getting so crazy, it's amazing. Episode 9 left me with one question, "WHAT THE FUCK IS SOOKIE?!" Oh my goodness. And what's going on with Russell. Eric was left to dispatch Russell despite a 2,000 year age difference, but with his shenanigans... will it still be left to Eric? Will "The Authority" side with Eric and try to find a way to get rid of Russell? So much is going on! Eric said not to trust Bill. Why is that? Bill had been keeping a file on Sookie and her family, but I don't think we really know why. I mean, he said it was to protect her better, but there has to be more to it than that. How about Franklin's resurrection? Honestly, that wasn't necessary. Especially since he got capped by Jason and his wooden bullet (I don't remember Jason keeping anything from The Fellowship of the Sun, but whatevs). I guess Tara has some closure now and we aren't sitting here wondering what's going to happen. She should have just chopped his head off in the first place. We all knew that bludgeoning wasn't going to work. Jason is a whole mess. I don't know what these drug dealers are since Crystal is being so shady, but they are bad news. It's too bad Jason is too dumb to see it. C'mon dude, open your eyes!

Anyway, I look forward to Sunday's episode! Feel free to share your thoughts with me about True Blood!

Darth Vader

#TalkNerdyToMeLover's @maniacalmorgan

Recently IGN.com ranked Darth Vader as #1 in their top 100 Star Wars characters. If you've seen the movies, you know the stories. Prophesied to be the one to bring balance to the force, little Anakin Skywalker grew up to become one bad ass Jedi Knight. Through manipulation, he was turned to the dark side of the force and became known as Darth Vader. Blah blah blah, you already knew all that though. I'm here to show you some videos of Darth Vader outside of the Star Wars universe as well as fan made videos.

What if Darth Vader was a smartass? Not only could he cornhole you with his lightsaber, he could make you feel like a dumbass as well.

How about this commercial of Darth Vader playing golf? He's almost bad as Jesus playing golf in Family Guy!

I don't know what to say about this one. Just, yeeeesssss!

I know this is supposed to be about Darth Vader, but I have to show Yoda some love here too. Break it down, Master Yoda!

My Star Wars posts continue. I can't help myself. It's just been on my mind recently! I can't help myself. I want to be Darth Vader when I grow up!

#Solved: The Mystery of Facebook's Friend Finder

Okey dokey, so to the right of your news feed on Facebook is this little thing called Friend Finder. It's listed below the events, and above the ads ... and its intended purpose is to encourage engagement. It's like YAYY!!! We have your friends over here in this tiny box, and courtesy of the bandwagon effect, we're totally going to say they did this to get you to try it too.

However, I heard people complaining about it, and yet no one claimed to ever use it. Is this like a dirty one night stand from MySpace that we all totally had circa 2007, but have yet to admit to?? Wait, that was just me?? Damnit ... *hangs head*  I digress ...

People complain that they never used said service, yet their photo will appear on their friends wall. I'd like to say that I think you have all become victims of new marketing and packaging. *GASP!!!!* What's that?!?!

Well, nerdy lovers ... back when you first signed up for Facebook, you could search for your friends to see if they were on to add them. Even if you signed up 4 or more years ago - we pretty much all did it initally. Well, what do you think this "friend finder" really is?! It's the old version of "find your friends via email" brilliantly packaged and deliciously placed in your right hand navigation for all the world to see.

So, there you go. Feel better?

#Facebook: Changing the family dynamic one add at a time

Completely unrelated picture, but hahahaha totally had those margaritas, an uhh yeah.OMG, I woke up to one of the most epicly epic messages on Facebook today, and I'm still staring at it wondering how to respond. Okeyyy, so here's a bit of the DL ... I grew up in an amazing family. For reals, my family and I might be going through a rough patch right now with this whole being an entrepreneur thing ... but bottom line ... they are my heart. I adore my family. My extended family however, was always a touchy subject. For reals, they resented me from the day I was born, and I kid you not, when I say I was in and out of therapy my entire life due to the stunts they pulled during my formative years. I wouldn't say I was grateful for it, but just aware that this is prolly why I just choose not to tolerate things from people based upon the label that was placed on them. I have had absolutely no relationship with my dad's sister for my entire life, and yet - she totally friended me on Facebook a little while back, and of course I accepted! I forgave everyone in my life around the time I forgave myself. Life is too friggen short man. Don't get me wrong, I'm not an idiot, just consumed with nothing but love and unapologetic awesomeness. Life is SO awesome, that if they're just coming around ... cool beans! Just don't expect there to magically be a relationship, but I'm totally open and ready for anything you want to start building.

Keep ALL of that in mind before you read this email ...

My name is xxxx, I am a friend of xxxxxxxx (side note, he had to put my dad's sister's maiden name in parenthesis, I'm assuming because he might not have thought I knew who she was otherwise as again - there is no relationship), and I run the wine & spirit shop that they purchased a couple years ago.

I'm on facebook daily, and I'm constantly seeing your updates, links, posts, blogs, etc. Regardless of whether xxxxx gets it or not, I think you're awesome. I'm proud to be a dork, but not intelligent enough, nor remotely creative enough to be classified as a nerd, and thus the reason I'm contacting you...

I'm wondering if you might be able to offer me some advice/help. We've had a fully-functional commercial website for the store for a little over a year now. Ecommerce, and the other services our developer provides are ridiculously expensive. We've opted to get rid of our big, bold website, and switch to a simpler (and much cheaper) website that I designed. Between the website, facebook, twitter, foursquare, and weekly emails; I want to do more.

Here in Connecticut, we have ten other wine/liquor/beer stores within ten minutes drive, it's nuts. Plus, within 30-45min, there are some very large, very impressive stores. I need to stand out. I need to capture my audience, sit them down, and smack them upside the head.

We have as good (if not better) selection and pricing than many of the big, wal-mart style liquor stores. We've got personal attention and service, and we've easily got the cleanest/neatest store around.

The locals should shop here because we've got the area's only Whole Foods right across the street. The rest of connecticut should buy through us because we're on the exclusive lists for many of the hard-to-find wines, liquors, and beers; and we can ship anywhere within the state for very cheap. Outside of connecticut, we still offer the same great prices, personal service, and we can ship to most states within 2-3 days.

In any case, I'm wondering if you'd be willing to coach me a little here and there. On facebook, twitter, and foursquare - how do I capture more people? Any other suggestions for stepping outside the box and reaching new people?

Thanks in advance, for any help you are willing to provide.

xxxxx

PS - if you're too busy, I totally understand, no hard feelings

.... none taken, I'll totally help you out. =) Thanks for reading my nerdy little site, and oh oh oh, here's the diff between a nerd and a dork!
