not to reference portnoy at all, not that i want to diminish his complaint, whatever it was, because everybody's got the right to complaint, after all (and you, yes you there, the one who found this post by searching for portnoy's complaint for some book report or whatever, yes you, you have the right to complain too, unless you plaig... plageriz... pla... cut and paste this witty missive into your report, in which case, you did it to yourself so you have nothing to complain about)...
but naturally, ego's complaint is you might be the only one who ever finds all the wonderful words and nonsense i've put on line and written for years, since the dawn of time, even, and i don't have any sort of massive following of crazed fans twittering and tossing underwear (or their cookies, chocolate chip please) at their computers as if i could see (hey, turn on your webcams before you do that sort of thing, aye?) all about how wonderfully in love they are with my amazing cleverness and lovely way with words...
i don't have time for the time it takes to grow an audience of nubile young innocents and their mothers of text phone junkies who worship the written word (i had more written word worshippers in the eighties before al gore and rocky invented the internet, after all)...
i mean, i'm not craig ferguson, but i do have a quip or two worth noticing now and then... and ego, of course, believes i should have millions of ranting and raving fans waking each morning to rush over to their computers just to see what i might have written overnight...
seriously, where are the intelligent people who would recognize the priceless value of reading me?...

more pop complaints
of course there is plenty to complain about in the crap extra and tmz puts on tv (at least tmz mocks itself, i mean, extra seems to take the crap seriously, like the inner thoughts of celebrities is serious news, but then, serious news is even worse crap these days... ignrance is american...
and i really thought sandra bullock was a smarter girl, but then, she did fall in love with a divorsed redneck macho man who's first wife was a porn star (who is not suing him for custody of their kid, real news, right), so i probably should have had a clue (as if i took meeting her seriously, right and the arbitrary nonsense is epitomized by th glorification of kate, who exploited her kids while her husband was vilified for not being as photogenic or cooperative with the cameras and the public sodomizing (figuratively speaking) of the octomom who doesn't even have a name just because she was poor and involved in a fertility doctor's medical mistake...
ambulance chasing lawyers, lying money-milking doctors, exploitation news reporters, and everyone falls in line in pop america only proving that absolute power corrupts people from power money celebrity hungry women who opened their legs for married men who travel around scoring one night stands because the women make it so easy for the men with brains in their penises (and claim they were in love abd deserve sympathy, i mean, they are pitifully transparent, but they chose to spread their legs and they chose to seek the celebrity by prostituting their story for the pop news media) to the men who are so rich that rules and rights and wrongs are meaningless from sex to bombing children to selling drugs under the guise of improving health (so why is there a war on drugs again?)...
but can you put on a little more make-up, i mean, i think i can still see just a sliver of the real you showing through...
and is hollywood taking bets on how long before heather locklear's twelve year old daughter is knocked up?... stoking down the runway with little boys throwing nickles up on the stage... sell that sex girl it may be all you have to offer the world, after all... or are you gonna be a big rock star? (i'll take my nickle back if you do, cha)...
i do miss theatre people though... real working performers busting gut and sweating it out on stage hour after hour in rehearsals and night after night (and matinees), now that is talent i respect... yeah, i know better than everyone, which is why i have the tv on so i can glance up and find all this crap to mock and complain about when i have nothing else do do before craig ferguson comes on to mock all the crap for me...

ATT: too big for it's britches
there are so many different departments, in fact, different companies all under the ATT umbrella all offering different services that the management has lost control and costumer service has fallen apart at ATT...
over the years i've had accounts swallowed up and terminated by ATT and ATT/Yahoo simply because they were duplicate accounts or because ATT could not integrate my accounts properly... I no longer use Yahoo for any services due to their mishandling my accounts creating a situation that sends hundreds of messages a day to my ATT accounts and no one at ATT or Yahoo are able to stop it because the emails are coming from groups I created at a service called FindMail in the 90s... FindMail was bought out by eGroups which was bought out by Yahoo which merged with ATT somehow and when they merged, i lost access to all my Yahoo accounts, including all the email groups that are sending emails... I used to play fantasy sports at Yahoo as well and no longer do for the same reason, I cannot access my account and so i've ignored a half dozen fantasy sport requests from friends this spring...
but the SPAM Yahoo sends through my ATT email is the least of my issues as I simply auto-delete it all... the people in the groups probably long since have written me off as a flake group owner who does not respond to their concerns or complaints... my primary concern is that ATT suspended my web pages so i can not access pages i've had on the web for more than 10 years... trusted for safe-keeping as personal web pages to ATT... do not trust any web service that encourages you to store anything on their services, keep your stuff on your computer and back up drives...
they said i had until march 31 to save my pages, but tonight i find them suspended... and of course support is not available this late...
the last time i called support, just four days ago (when my web pages were still working), it took them eight hours and dozens of transfers to get me to the right department to give me the new POP3 and SMTP addresses... eight hours of jumping through phone hoops for a two minute fix...
that was because nobody knew who was doing what in the various companies that is now all under the ATT umbrella and accessed through a nightmarish automated phone tree that has no clue where to route customers calling in... ATT has simply gotten too big to manage good customer service... so typical of corporate USA and why the country is going down the tubes fast... just check and you'll find statistics like 17 countries have better high school graduation results than the USA...
anyway, though i've explained my issues to dozens of ATT CSRs and a few ATT managers, this is the epitome of meaningless complaint as they are too disconnected, disorganized, and way too big to ever hear it...
