I’ve been told I do nothing but complain so here is a nice review on an awesome application for Blackberry Phones that I recently found.
The application is called Trapster and it’s probably something I should have had a long time ago. Basically, this application for your Blackberry ultilizes your GPS functions on your phone and alerts you of all police radar traps, red light cameras and more. It’s completely ran by users and actually updated quite often. They also offer it for the iPhone, the Google Andriod, and even Garmins and TomTom’s! You can watch a video presentation on how this works here. The way their system is setup is awesome. They give credibility to users who report accurate speed traps and red light cameras. The credibility is given when more then one user reports a cop in that area and you build up your reputation over time.
So those of you who drive quite often or travel a lot, be sure to download this app to your PDA, SmartPhone or GPS today and save yourself from those hefty fines and increased insurance rates! The application is FREE, so you’ve got nothing to lose!

I’m sure some of you know about my site, BarCritic.com and how long I’ve had it. Well be on the lookout soon as I plan on getting this bad boy launched and you will be able to write your own reviews and look up some local bars in your area. I’ll be starting off first with bars in Maryland and slowly expanding as I surely don’t have the time or travel enough lately to write reviews on bars elsewhere.
If you have any suggestions, questions, comments or whatever else, feel free to post a comment and let me know!
Once I get the site up, running and some traffic being fed to it, I’ll be doing featured reviews and maybe even selling some ad spots - if you’re interested, contact me!

So I haven’t written any posts bitching about anything lately so I figured I’d recap my eventful evening at the Greene Turtle in Westminster for Cari’s birthday.
This place is definitely nice and I love their setup. I love how they have UFC stuff everywhere and even broadcast the fights but I do have some major complaints with this place…
First off, the food was ridiculously expensive for what you got. $13 for 12 boneless chicken wings I think it was and they were about the size of a golf ball…Give me a break. Then we ordered crab dip and quesadillas, both of which sucked as well as far as proportions, taste and price..well, okay, the quesadillas were good but small. You can get the SAME thing at taco bell for a third of a the cost. Moving on - the place was packed, which is expected since it’s one of the nicest bars around this one horse town so that’s not too bad.
The thing that really pissed me off and made the decision for me to never return to the Green Turtle in Westminster was their meathead ‘bouncer.‘ I don’t know who the hell you are, but you’re a PRICK! I had walked up to the bar to grab some drinks since our waitress wasn’t around, I get carded again, put it on my tab and turn around to go back to my table. Some short, meathead fuck decided to go “I need to see your ID” and I politely say “I just got carded.” Next thing I know, he says “You think I’m joking? I need to see your ID!” and gets this huge attitude with me. Mind you, this prick is in a jacket and jeans, not wearing anything regarding the Greene Turtle, so I thought it was some drunk asshole fucking with me since I look quite young. I go to walk away and he says it again, so I show him my ID and he stamps my hand. I didn’t see him the rest of the night until I went to smoke a cigarette outside and came back in and he goes “You again? Going to start more trouble with me tonight?” - I didn’t fucking do anything you asshole - lay off the roids! He also tells one of my friends who was WITH me before that he needs to pay $10 to get in. Needless to say, he got in FREE since we had been there hours before their shitty ass band started ‘warming up’ and I will NEVER return to this Greene Turtle bar in Westminster, Maryland again sadly enough. What’s even funnier is when I went to Sprint in Westminster Mall to get my Blackberry, I ran into him again. He didn’t say one word to me and yeah, he tried to bitch them out - “Why am I the one who’s always getting screwed” Shut your fucking mouth once in awhile and treat people with some respect and you might get somewhere!
That’s all for now. Hope you enjoyed my review of the Green Turtle Bar in Westminster, Maryland off Route 140. If you’ve had any experience with this place or their employees, feel free to leave a comment and let me know!
For the roid injected meat head, I’d love for your bosses and/or managers to see this - Hell, I’m going to email them myself and maybe you’ll think twice next time you decide to open your mouth.
UPDATE: I emailed this article to them through their online contact us form. We’ll see if they have anything to say…Doubtful though.

Yeah, I’m a #twitterholic and you love it.
Figured I’d update a few things here…
Comcast is now installed, but I HATE HATE HATE their digital cable menus up here + it’s slow as hell, so I’ll be looking into DirecTV very soon.
Bought a blackberry curve which I’m hating right now since it’s slow as molasses just like my ‘digital’ cable. Also dying very quickly and I haven’t even made any calls except one 2 minute one!
Still don’t have enough time in the day to get everything done…I immediately demand more hours in a day!
Happy Birthday Cari!!! Well, it was the fifth but I didn’t post it before. 
Ok, it is now lunch time and back to work. Ciao! derp9t5h3g

Figured I’d update my shitty week so far -
Comcast - STILL waiting on them to dig my lines. Been 3 weeks now when it was supposed to be done in 7-10 days. Comcast, your company fucking sucks and if Verizon wasn’t so god dammed slow and still take a week+ to isntall, I’d be GONE! YOU ARE COSTING ME MASSIVE MONEY SINCE I CAN HARDLY WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If I don’t get a call from one of your adminsitrative people today LIKE I WAS PROMISED ONCE AGAIN, all hell is going to break loose.
Payroll - Yay, I get paid and money gets taken back out…wonderful for the bills I just paid. And no, I’m not broke, I’ve got more bank accounts than you can shake a stick at and my money is quite divided.
Sprint Aircard - My computer doesn’t move but my service goes in and out constantly..I don’t get it! Sometimes your decent and other times it takes me literally 3-5 mins to load a single page.

So, I am finally into my new house and got some time to burn before I leave at 4:30am to head to the airport and I figured I’d throw up a new post! I’m heading down to Tampa, Florida for a biz trip and to meet up with the infamous Extreme John. Flight leaves at 7:30am and I’ve got an hour plus drive to BWI! Wooooo!
I haven’t done any work with completely owning the SE results for shitty Preserve @ Owings Crossing Apartments, but I’ve got some decent 2nd page listings already. Just wait guys, this is only the beginning! I will have you begging me to take it down..Believe it.
Onto a brighter note, the house is absolutely amazing and things have really come pretty far in a week besides shitty Comcast but I’ll save that for another post. Everything is in and setup for the most part - with the exception of my office that is still scattered until I find a new desk I like and cough up the money for it. I’m a picky SOB - I know. =) My neighbors have been great so far and the neighbor at the end of my driveway works in software development (I think that’s what he said) and his wife is an RN. Sounds familiar, doesn’t it? (For those of you who don’t know me and if you care the least bit, I work online and Cari is halfway through school for her RN degree)
As far as the house goes, I’d like to thank a few people and sorry if I miss anyone. It’s late and I’m drinking. Every little bit helps and we both appreciate it very much!
By no means are these in any type of order. I’m writing them as I go…I don’t wanna hear it!
Cari - I love you girl…more than anything in this world!
Mom & Dave - First and foremost, thank you both very very much for the tools and EVERYTHING both of you have done for me in the last few years (mom, the last 22+!). Hopefully I can put them to good use around the house! Can’t wait to get ya back up here to help me garden. Hehehehe. Love ya both and wish you the best of luck on the new marriage!
Lenny - Superstitious much? LOL. Love ya bro..and btw, she LOVED the pizza. Brownie points!!!
My future mother-in-law - I’m only a phone call away like I said! Don’t hesitate! Thank you very much for everything you’ve done and for creating such a beautiful and intelligent (& sometimes pain in the butt) daughter!
Extreme John - Bro, you’ve changed my life - Flat out. Not only are you the best boss ANYONE could ever ask for, you’re a great friend and I could NEVER repay you for everything that you have done for me. Not only have you helped me out when I was down and out, you continued to help and still do. I said 2009 will be a good year and I mean it 150%!!!!!!! I could go own but I’ll leave it at that.
Lisa & Michele - You both rock! Thank you both for everything you’ve done for me too!
Michelle - Thanks for the HD gift card, definitely helps since that’s my new playground! Keep her under control for me! Hahahah
Patsy - You’re awesome! You’ve done so much for Cari and I since we’ve all met, I’ll find out somehow to repay ya rather you like it or not! ;) ..and thanks a ton for that delicious chili and the crock-pot!!!!
If I forgot ya, don’t feel bad. I still love ya! As Jamie Foxx said, blame it on the alcoholllllllllll….
To end it, here’s a picture of my view off the deck aka my remote office!

Figured I’d post this too before I forget.
A nice neighbor who recently left this place (Do you really need to know why?) was talking to me about a month or two ago and I remember him speaking of the infestation in his apartment. He made multiple complaints to the health dept AND the idiot managers/employees at the Preserve @ Owings Crossing leasing center…and guess what? NOTHING WAS DONE! Imagine that. They could give two shits about anyone here. All they care about is their paycheck but its funny because every time I go in the leasing center, there is someone new.
THE PRESERVE @ OWINGS CROSSING IS INFESTED WITH ROACHES!
Yeah, you read it right, roaches and NOTHING was done. No wonder he wanted to move. Now I’m lucky enough not to have any creatures crawling through my house but have also read some reviews on these horrible apartments that mentioned bugs…How does this place stay afloat?
If you haven’t noticed Preserve @ owings crossing - I am going to literally OWN every single search term for apartments in Reisterstown along with any having to do with your name and your parent company. I will spend my valuable time just to make sure I can get at least one person to ditch this section 8 property. I hope you guys have an SEO GOD to pull you out of this one. -laugh-
Here is a nice little list of big search terms in Google for apartments in Baltimore that I’ll use to my advantage:
baltimore apartments
baltimore apartment
apartments in baltimore
baltimore md apartments
baltimore apartments for rent
baltimore maryland apartments
apartment in baltimore
apartments in baltimore md
apartments for rent in baltimore
baltimore county apartments

As you can tell, I hate The Preserve at Owings Crossing in Reisterstown, Maryland from my recent posts and I have to say, I am more then ecstatic for my settlement tomorrow!!!
Two years in this horrible apartment is more then enough time and I am ready to get to my HUGE house. Hey, may not be huge to you but for myself and Cari, a 3br/3ba and 4 floors + 2 decks is more then enough - not to mention the almost acre of land! I’ll have my OWN driveway and wont have to worry about being towed so the property can pinch every penny out of me.
I will update with some more pictures and all as we move in and get settled in. Things are nuts right now as I’m sitting on the floor with my laptop. Yeah, the couch me behind me - oh well.
Speaking of parking and this shitty apartment complex known as The Preserve @ Owings crossing, I just spoke to a neighbor who also got towed but they got their car out for FREE! Just another thing I can use to my advantage when I SUE YOU IDIOTS! And believe me, I haven’t forgot - just busy trying to get out of here and don’t have time to run to the courthouse!
Once again, I’d like to send a F*CK YOU out to the management and ignorant neighbors at The Preserve @ Owings crossing. I cannot wait to get out of this place and should never never moved here since day 1.

..and we’ll leave it at that.
