Welcome to Scooby’s World…

well it seems that i have all but given up on the blogging platform. i thought it was cool when i first got into it about 6-8 months ago, but i just dont have the time to put into the blogging community and network with all the awesome peoples i found out there. i wish i could, but its just too hard for an amateur to monetize a blog and make it profitable. so i’ll just keep this going without a posting schedule, and add a few random thoughts here and there as i remember it. and then i’ll tweet it out, so you guys can still keep track of me that way. tell a friend too, i could always do with a few more Twitter followers. find my Twitter link over there on the right —>

anyways, here’s a little anecdote i recently shared with some of my forum friends.
hope you enjoy.

so did i ever tell you guys about my spider story? :hmmm: …

this happened when i was in 4th grade. got up at 7 in the morning to get ready for school, which started at 8. had breakfast, brushed my teeth, changed, etc. this was in the fall/winter because i remember it being dark still. so 7:30 comes around and i sit on the couch in the dark living room to watch some Jetsons before i leave. the lights are off and the curtains are still shut, its just me and the glow of my cartoons. i like Astro. i guess i have a thing for talking dogs. anyways, i see this vertical line on the tv screen, which was weird. i try to focus for a better look, and it turns out its not on the screen it was actually a thread of spider silk coming down from the ceiling. and it wasnt even near the tv. it was right in front of me. so i look lower and the damn spider is actually at the end of it going straight down towards my lap. ahhh fuck.  whatever, i wasnt really afraid of spiders. so i grab up above at the silk so i can transport the spider to the sink, but when i pick it up, the spider is gone. wth. so i stand up and try to shake my clothes off in case he jumped on me and thats when i feel i sharp sting on my crotch! :faint: WTF?!?! apparently i had not zipped up my zipper when i had gotten dressed earlier and the fucking spider got its way into my tighty whiteys and bit me on the crotch!!! holy shit did that hurt like fuck. i ran to the bathroom and took all my clothes off to shake out, but there was no spider to be found. i then went to inspect the area, and sure as shit, the fucking spider bit me. lucky thing it didnt catch me on the wang though. it was just above.

so yep. i got molested by a spider that ran away and was never to be seen afterwards. and i had to walk to school that morning. do you know how uncomfortable it is to walk to school with a spider bite on your crotch? yeah, it kinda sucks. i think i had a big ol’ bite mark for a week after that. the kind that turns into like a big boil. ewwwww. and of course i didnt tell any one coz i didnt want anybody to have to go lookin at it. just had to walk very carefully for a good long while. :/

suffice to say, i hated spiders for a very long time after that.

Happy New Year and welcome to 2009! :champagne:

for the few of you who have been here before in the past month, welcome back! and for those of you who are new here, feel free to stop by any time! so… what exactly is Scooby’s World? well, it’s the newly constructed home of me, ScoobySnacks, here in this giant interweb of ours. it’s my own little corner of the blogosphere where i’ll be talking about all kinds of random stuff that i find interesting. now i realize this may not be a very smart strategy to begin with, but who’s to say a website needs to focus on one subject to be successful? and if eventually i find i niche to corner the market in, then so be it. but until then, ScoobysWorld.com will be your one-stop-shop for all things balanced between your nerdy cyber world and your AFK offline life. ^_^

we’re going to start off slow and steady here, and i’m aiming to fill at least 2 new entries a week to begin with. but don’t be surprised if down the line i’m in randomly talkative mood and you see dozen fresh posts in a day!

now i know that this place isn’t completely polished and in full working order yet, but do please feel free to check back often. its gonna be a learning process for me too. so maybe once i’ve taught myself the ropes, i’ll let you in on all the little tips, tricks, and tweaks i’ve leared about the ins and outs of blogging.

so a little bit about me: my name is ScoobySnacks. i’ve been traveling the internet for quite some time now and have seen many things. but theres always more to see and more to learn. i’m a foodie, i’m a nerd, i’m a gamer, i’m philosopher, i’m a student of the world. i’ll share my sacred cooking tips, my astonishing insights, my ponderings of unimportant things, the musings of life, and the many facets of geekery, movies, music, television,  gadetry, techno l33tness, pro wrestling madness, failed backyard gardening, travels to Hawaii, roadtrips around California, cheap wines, restaurant reviews, cartoons from the 80’s, the finer points of internet marketing and making money online, how to peice together a new PC, the conversion of a Mac hater into an iPod fanboy, tasty pineapples … and hell pretty much everything in between and anything else that floats my fancy.

so let’s kick of the new year amongst friends! make your self at home! have a look around and leave your mark where ever you please. and tell your friends to do the same. ScoobysWorld.com is now open 24 hours for your enjoyment! :shiny:

:party: .dj.

have a prosperous 2009!

so tonight me and the gf went to Dave & Buster’s for happy hour. on wednesdays all of their arcade games are half price, including the ones you can win tickets on. i was playing the giant Spin & Win machine when the gf says “Hey, isn’t that your ex?” i thought she was talkin the crazy talk, but i took a look and whuuuut? that girl looked looked exactly the same as my ex! granted its been about 5 years since the last time i’ve actually seen her. maybe more, but still. i was quite taken aback.

i spent at least 10 minutes staring at her trying to determine if it was even possible. which it cant be since she lives on the other side of the country now. but this guy who she was with didn’t look exactly like her husband. well he did, kind of. which is why i needed more than a double take to get my brain straight. it was probably more like an octuple take. it was weird. it completely threw me out of whack. she had the same eyes, same smile, about the same height and build. it was her doppelganger. seriously, i really had my doubts whether it wasn’t her or not. made me feel kind of tingly. like nervous tingly. like “wtf is she doing here?” kind of tingly. but i looked at her and she looked at me, and nothing happened. no reaction. so i guess it wasn’t her. so then we left. but my gf still wasn’t sure. she almost dragged me back for a second (or 10th) look, but i said no way, i wasn’t having any part of that. so she went back while i headed for the car. and while she was off on her mission, apparently an encounter took place.

when she got back, she said she actually talked to her. she asked the doppelganger if she had a sister named so-and-so. the doppelganger laughed and gave a “what is this crazy chick talking about?” smile to the guy that she was with. but no she didn’t have a sister named so-and-so. but she didn’t say “Hey, my name is so-and-so!” either. so guess i’ll never know. actually i will know, because i’ll myspace her in a minute. but i’m pretty sure she’ll say “Nope, that wasn’t me.” ah well. either way, it was still a surreal experience.

and i have no idea why the gf wanted me to find out if that was really her either. girls are weird.

i have no idea what i would have said if it actually was the ex.
anybody esle have some kind of experience like this?
