Twelve Years Of Being Annoyed By Chloe Sevigny

Told You So, Beeyatches!

2008-11-21T00:00:00.000-08:00

To revisit the Casey Serin days, this clip is such a laugh. (My god, it even uses the term "liar loans")For all of us who wheedled, cajoled and threatened to strangle people who were defying the natural laws of "how things work", this is a great parody.Now, as realtors walk into restaurants across America and ask for pre-printed applications to become waiters; as former bankers try to sell

For Laura

Sorry we haven't been able to connect lately. I really hate that I haven't been available to hear all about the trials, tribulations and excitement of your new life. Along the same line of thought, I heard this song a couple of days ago...one that I haven't heard in at least a decade, but one I occasionally hummed in my head before I met you. I always thought it was such a beautiful letter so

Ummm...It's a Snake...

2008-09-12T23:58:00.000-07:00

I can only guess that, since this is really the origin of children being creaed, there is an argument that this is somehow appropriate:But really, who the fuck lets their kids climb out of the head of a giant penis?

Home Invasion or Car Robbery

2008-08-21T00:41:00.000-07:00

If any of us were given these two options, knowing that one would be inevitable, the answer is unbelievably simple. Of course, I would prefer that someone damage my property rather than terrorize me personally.But when the lesser option happens--when you walk out to your car in the morning to find your car glass bashed to fuck by a sledgehammer--you really look for an optimistic viewpoint to

Creepy

2008-07-29T00:09:00.001-07:00

Last night as I lay in bed, somewhere between sleep and reality, I remembered a creepy coincidence.A year or so ago, I got a call from a friend. He says, in a kind of halting and disturbed, though not scary, voice, "I...just...got...the...STRANGEST...voice mail." I jumped in, as I was cooking dinner, and said with a funny voice, "Was it Samuel L. Jackson telling you there were snakes on a

Loss

2008-07-22T01:09:00.000-07:00

When it happens, it's often unexpected but always permanent. Loss changes us. Sometimes it occurs in small, maddening forms. I had forgotten my password to this blog, for instance. It was seemingly irretrievable, floating in the ether, and so was a form of communication that had become important to me. It frustrated me to no end. And the more I fought to try to remember the magical passkey that

Hmmmm....

2008-03-07T01:47:00.000-08:00

Anyone else think that this looks like a vagina?

2007 Year in Review

2008-01-01T02:26:00.000-08:00

I have to admit, I'm a little surprised. (Then again, maybe I shouldn't be, considering the copious quantities of champagne I've consumed tonight....)I encountered people tonight who actually cried, so thankful were they that this year had come to a close; people who were longing for better days in the new year. On the other hand, there were others who were so thankful for what the past year

"All Who Wander Are Not Lost"

2007-11-08T02:09:00.000-08:00

In my younger days, I decided to piss off overseas for an indefinite period of time. I bought a ticket, but as it worked out, it was much cheaper to buy an "around the world" ticket that included multiple stops, rather than the few that I had originally intended. I found this to be a 'happy accident' that even afro-puff Bob Ross would nod his approval toward.I had planned to put all of my

2007-07-25T04:02:00.001-07:00

Jaysus...do I even remember how to blog at this point?Thanks to all who have stopped by recently to check in and leave notes. I have an unholy amount of email to sift through in this Inbox, so if you dropped a note and I haven't responded, know that I'm getting to it.I also still owe you the remaining parts of Dustin Haywood's take on Casey Serin, so will get that queued up as well...I've been

Forums O' Fun

2007-07-11T16:51:00.000-07:00

CaseyHaterz.com is a cool new community started by long-time Casey Serin 'hater' The Dude.The site is mere days old, having launched on the auspicious date of 7/7/07. Yet in three days, the CaseyHaterz forum already boasts over six hundred registered members. The Dude has confessed that he's been a bit astounded by the turnout. Here's what he has to say about the community:Anyone who's

More From Dustin Haywood

2007-07-11T02:52:00.000-07:00

I said yesterday that Dustin Haywood, previously referred to as “Rich Dad’s Son” at “I Am Facing Foreclosure,” is perhaps the antithesis of Casey Serin. While the two are close friends, Dustin has followed a far different path than Casey Serin.Of course, I didn't know that at first. And in one of our early emails, my fraud meter went off when Dustin Haywood mentioned that he had sold a

Meet "Rich Dad's Son"

2007-07-10T00:30:00.000-07:00

Casey Serin's distorted half-truths and outright lies have many people coming forward to tell their side of the Casey Serin / "I Am Facing Foreclosure" events. Dustin Haywood, often referred to as "Rich Dad's Son" at IAFF, is one of those people.Early readers of "I Am Facing Foreclosure" will recall that "Rich Dad" and "Rich Dad's Son" came into the picture in late October of 2006. The premise

An Inside Joke...

2007-07-07T21:14:00.000-07:00

So, when you listened to Casey Serin's most recent Friday Night Fraudcast?Did you feel like you were going crazy?You know?....Particularly when the woman with the question voice?Just wouldn't stop talking?You know the one?Every sentence that came out of her mouth went up at the end?So instead of making statements, she was asking questions?And then she tried to talk Casey out of committing suicide

Casey Serin, Sociopath

2007-07-03T15:06:00.000-07:00

This is my response to the question "What's Wrong With This Picture?" Casey Serin's cycle of deflection and manipulation has continually reminded me of something I've seen before. And after looking into it a bit further, I'm convinced that Casey Serin is a sociopath.Sociopaths are the individuals with Antisocial Personality Disorder. In her book, The Sociopath Next Door, author Martha Stout

What's Wrong With This Picture?

2007-07-03T13:40:00.000-07:00

Something has been bothering me...In reading or listening to Casey Serin interact with his audience, the conversation always follows a certain, telling, pattern. First, Casey Serin adopts a jovial approach to offset abject criticism. The most recent Foreclosure Friday Fraudcast offers as good an example as any."ENDGAME Yeah, if you were my brother I would kick your mother-f*cking ass when

Was I Wrong About the Timeline?

2007-07-02T04:10:00.000-07:00

Casey Serin says he's now back in the U.S., which would mean my guess that he would miss the July 5 deadline was wrong. And I have to say, I really do hope I'm wrong on this one. It would be good news that Casey Serin is back on U.S. soil, within the grasp of law enforcement, and more importantly, within the grasp of his family.I posted yesterday about Casey Serin's plans to hustle his way

Casey Serin's UnderLYING Agenda

2007-07-01T10:26:00.000-07:00

Is Casey Serin really headed back to the United States? If so, he's been planning a rather circuitous route home. A few interested parties started forwarding me some information about Casey Serin's Australia trip, several weeks ago. Each one asked that I hold off posting anything about these plans, in the hope of talking some sense into the wayward fraudster. Now that Casey Serin is claiming

Jackass of the Week Award - The City of Hot Springs, Arkansas

2007-06-28T17:56:00.000-07:00

Bumbling Barney Fife wasn't allowed to put bullets in his gun when he patrolled the streets of Mayberry. It was a given that he was a hazard to public safety. This was a funny repeated theme in the tv series, with the Don Knotts character running around doing crazy slapstick.But in real life, many police officers exhibit that they do not have the judgement to carry an loaded weapon in public. Now

Remembering the Stonewall Rebellion

2007-06-27T19:50:00.000-07:00

As cities across the United States host parades this month, it's an appropriate time to acknowledge the act of defiance that catalyzed what is now known as "Gay Pride." Local news stations like to show some of the more outrageous participants of Gay Pride parades and festivals. After all, the scantily or bizarrely-clad make for good viewing. But there's a rich history to these parades, making

Nigel Swaby Seeks Internet Asylum

2007-06-21T19:11:00.000-07:00

Since Casey Serin has kicked his former little buddy Nigel Swaby to the curb, the "Man of a Million Blogs" mortgage lender has been seeking internet asylum. Sticking to his old trick of trying to garner as much redirected traffic as possible, Nigel Swaby seems once again pulled into the aura of the ExUrbanNation crowd...the very same folks he has repeatedly gone out of his way to repudiate.I

Cross a Cheerleader, Fear Your World

2007-06-14T20:25:00.000-07:00

Hell hath no fury like a cheerleader whose pom-poms have been knotted and sullied. Such is the case with Casey Serin's former cheerleaders, who have turned against him with more venom and vigor than any so-called "hater" could ever muster.First, there were Nigel Swaby's attempts to slough off Casey Serin and make nice with the critics, who saw through his antics as just another attempt to whore

Marty Stewart, Crybaby

2007-06-14T11:54:00.000-07:00

In my opinion, of course.Casey Serin's so-called publisher Marty Stewart consented to an interview with cnet's Declan McCullagh earlier this week.Marty Stewart starts the interview on a hostile tone, implying that anyone who has seen the web pages where he and Casey Serin had parked content must have hacked his server.(The good folk at Caseypedia have transcribed the conversation for those who

Casey Serin Flees the Country

2007-06-11T19:39:00.000-07:00

Were law enforcement agencies getting close to arresting Casey Serin? Now that we've learned that he's fled the country to Australia, that certainly seems plausible. After all, the website Myebid has been posting a listing for the sale of "I Am Facing Foreclosure" for over a week now.It's difficult to tell if this is really Casey Serin posting the website for sale, but as of this evening, the

Getting Past the Color Barrier

2007-06-07T14:06:00.000-07:00

Color...is it always about black and white? No, of course not. Often, it's about red, white and pink.I'm talking about wine, of course.With the warmth of summer upon us, it's the time of year that fervent red wine drinkers hate to acknowledge--it's just too hot to drink red wine. As the seasons change, so does the palate, but staunch red wine drinkers are often loath to abandon their favorite

Is Anyone Surprised?

2007-06-06T16:33:00.000-07:00

Below the Crowd pointed out that Casey Serin and "I Am Facing Foreclosure" are back online. And yet, I just don't think anyone is going to be surprised.Casey Serin has never been able to live up to the terms of a contract, apparently even one with his wife and family. I imagine the past week has been an emotionally draining one for Casey Serin, mustering up his best con artist (or, as T prefers

Casey Serin in "Whipped" Magazine

2007-06-05T10:44:00.002-07:00

A prominent Casey Serin Hater sent this my way. It's a fitting tribute to include some Casey Serin paraphernalia here, since the little bugger just can't stop surfing the blogs. I happened to notice him on these pages at around 1:30 last night, and I wonder if he was sneaking in some internet addiction after Galina Serin and Yulia Suprun had gone to bed.And that thought makes this image that

Good Riddance

2007-06-03T12:49:00.000-07:00

Akubi wanted me to write something about Casey Serin's final Friday night fraudcast. So after the obligatory jogging and yoga, I spent the afternoon listening to the replay.I've been a bit surprised that I haven't really been able to muster any feelings one way or the other about Casey Serin's disappearance into the ether. I think this comes, in large part, from just not believing a damn thing

Okay, Fine, Let's Talk About Casey Serin

2007-05-31T08:30:00.000-07:00

Over the course of the past two weeks, I've paid far more attention to the goings-on at the brilliant Caseypedia wiki than I have the little fucktard himself. I love this site for two reasons: a few months ago, Casey Serin whined to the wikinazis about the portrayal of him in his wikipedia entry. They threatened to pull the plug on the entire entry, although much of what was said in those pages

Jackass of the Week Award

2007-05-29T15:16:00.001-07:00

With Casey Serin hogging so much of the "public jackass" spotlight, it's often difficult to find someone who deserves the award more than him.But as I was traveling last week, I was knocked in the head by the story of Dean Hancock, whose sense of entitlement gives Casey Serin a hard run for his borrowed money.Dean's son Josh Hancock was, until recently, a relief pitcher for the St. Louis

You Guys are Great

2007-05-29T13:49:00.000-07:00

I knew a lot of people who read these pages are pet people, but I typically avoid writing about pets. Like I said yesterday, I'm well aware of the fact that, for as charming and irreplaceable as we find our own pets, other people just don't care. So thank you all for your encouragement. I've been in full-blown pout mode, particularly as the vet kept calling to report fever spikes. Luckily,

Cat-astrophe

2007-05-28T08:16:00.000-07:00

What a horrible week.As you might have read in a comment post, last week was a jumble of twenty-hour work days in an attempt to finalize a huge contract that took me to three cities in as many days to meet with principals and shore up loose ends before the holiday weekend. I was then assigned to touch base with a client in a fourth city, and arrived exhausted, prepared to do nothing more than

Another Dumb-Ass Casey Serin Scheme

2007-05-18T13:06:00.000-07:00

"Countdown to Beg-A-Thon Two" at I Am Facing Foreclosure shows that Casey Serin intents to replicate his goofy internet panhandling in less than an hour.Since this round of the Casey Serin Tent Revival Meeting will commence at 2p.m. Pacific time, the whole plan seems even more ridiculous than normal. After all, in announcing that he will hold the "Casey Serin Welfare Hour" in advance, he's given

Saving the Heathens or More Christian Hypocracy?

2007-05-17T08:20:00.000-07:00

When the fundies go after a new target audience, I tend to arch an eyebrow with suspicion. Much of my cynicism comes from seeing first-hand so much of the "good" work done by missionaries in foreign countries.Now don't get me wrong...if you feel a calling to pack up your life and go to a region of the world where people are suffering and starving and you work your ass off to plant fields, dig

Busted!

2007-05-16T08:35:00.000-07:00

Casey Serin's little media spree this week has had some funny consequences all around. On Monday, for example, his technical (in)abilities were on full display, as C|net readers found, alternately, a "File Not Found" page or even better, a search engine list of related "hater" sites.I got my own taste of it this morning, when I was woken up by a phone call from an ex, suspiciously chipper

Caveat Emptor

2007-05-15T18:59:00.000-07:00

Let the buyer beware; let the deadbeat look over his shoulder.Truly, when you repeatedly evade responsibility, deny accountability, and generally screw people over, it creates a life lived in a constant state of heightened awareness. There must be a sense of always waiting for something to crawl out of the darkness and bite you on the ass.At least this is the case for I Am Facing Foreclosure's

Why No One Should Visit "I Am Facing Foreclosure"

2007-05-15T13:38:00.000-07:00

With Casey Serin's repeated outages with his "I Am Facing Foreclosure" web drama, frustrated visitors have turned to the so-called Hater Pages for their daily dose.That small fraction of people who have been able to access the site without encountering a "file not found" error report that Casey's latest post is that problems within his marriage are causing him to consider taking "I Am Facing

Did You Just Hear of Casey Serin?

2007-05-15T07:14:00.000-07:00

Casey Serin earned a whole new round of trainwreck-watchers after yesterday's piece on C|net. The compelling title, "Casey Serin: The World's Most Hated Blogger" drew thousands to read Declan McCullagh's well-written and informative piece.If this is your first exposure to the madcap financial time bomb that is Casey Serin, here are a couple of pieces to round out your knowledge. A Casey Serin

Timing Isn't Everything...

2007-05-14T17:04:00.000-07:00

But it can absolutely break your ass if your timing is off.Just as Casey Serin misread the marketplace and managed to fraudulently purchase eight properties in four states at the top of their respective markets, so too was his razor-sharp timing with today's none too flattering c|net article.Casey's free hosting relationship with Heekee has been on the skids for a while now, as the host had asked

Put It All On Red

2007-05-14T08:00:00.000-07:00

I have mentioned before that, in previous incarnations, I worked on the Hill. But, with Casey Serin revealing his intentions to sell casinos and get a big win of his own, today seems like an apt day to reveal a little-known Aspeth factoid:A bridge that I traveled between the public and private sectors was just such an endeavor. I worked as a part of a multi-billion dollar multi-national that

Casey Serin Wants to Sell Casinos

2007-05-14T04:54:00.000-07:00

First and foremost this morning, I'd like to thank C-net for including my fuck-filled vitriol against Casey and Galina Serin in the article, "Casey Serin, The World's Most Hated Blogger?"C-net is even kind enough to use quotes from me, with liberal uses of asterisks:"That frank admission [of Casey Serin's mortgage fraud] has led to calls to "Send Casey Serin To Prison"--a petition to the FBI has

What Should Have Been...

2007-05-14T02:55:00.000-07:00

Let it be said, I hate the wikinazis.I had previously developed some strong feelings about them when the "Casey Serin wikipedia" page was under contest. At the time, "R-boy" single-handedly took the lead and kept that page from being deleted entirely. In my mind, the wikinazis were acting as uninformed asses, because there was nothing in the "Casey Serin wikipedia" page that he himself had not

"The Power of Negative Thinking"

2007-05-13T08:54:00.000-07:00

Learned sources say that "I Am Facing Foreclosure" has been down since the early a.m. today. Knowing Casey Serin's sleep schedule, that means it will be late afternoon before he even knows the plug has been pulled on his website.Casey Serin's overwhelming optimism has frustrated readers since last Fall. And, it turns out, there may be scientific data to support the idea that an all-encompassing

Just. Stop. It.

2007-05-12T09:30:00.000-07:00

One popular trend that has been annoying the hell out of me for quite some time is the resurgence of roller derby. I find its very existence to be an incredible joke, and I recoil every time I see a poster advertising a bunch of scantily-clad butch girls on wheels.My knee-jerk reaction to this pseudo sport comes from the idea that it is somehow an empowering feminist movement. The women

"Fair" to Whom?

2007-05-11T07:28:00.000-07:00

Liabilities and restrictions on property owners have been continually litigated in U.S. courts. Perhaps the most severe law that affects property owners is the so-called "Fair Housing" Act.By definition, Fair Housing prohibits discrimination in the sale, rental, and financing of dwellings, and in other housing-related transactions, based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial

To them, I'd like to extend a hearty Thank You for reading, appreciating and passing along the rants compiled in these pages.I'm just now having some morning caffeine (and of course, still going through terrible vacation-and-rum withdrawls!) so please forgive me when I inevitably blow it and forget to include

It's a beautiful thing to spend some time away from media and information. But it hits you immediately upon return, thanks to the banks and banks of televisions that are bolted to airport walls these days.A little distance from the tele always causes me to laugh for a little while upon being re-exposed. So here's what I'm wondering:Who's grand idea was it to resurrect a former Spice Girl to

Some Things Stay the Same

2007-05-09T20:07:00.000-07:00

While I've been away from the water cooler, the blogosphere has churned away without me. In reading various blogs, one of the ironic comments I keep coming back to is Nigel Swaby's claim that "No wonder bloggers never get taken seriously."For someone who has repeatedly shelled out cold hard cash for paid press releases of his own myriad blogs, I find this statement highly amusing on its

A New Lexicon for Crazy

Casey Serin’s more disturbed side comes out in his catalogue of favorite websites. But other links point out that Casey just might indeed recognize that all is not well in Caseybrain. He is almost as obsessed with personality, development and psychology as he is with religion and food. He starts with “40 Developmental Assets” that create healthy, caring and responsible adults. Perhaps

Back Away From the Train Wreck, Slowly

2007-05-09T08:50:00.000-07:00

While Casey Serin has proven to be an endless source of entertainment for millions around the globe, there is a much darker side to him. As I said in the first post in this series, we also find someone who can present as quite disturbing. That Casey fancies himself a Christian comes as no shock to readers. But the depth of this ranges from the benign to the commercial. There are national

Too Much Snark for One Post

2007-05-09T07:19:00.000-07:00

What *does* a social bookmarking site reveal about a person? In Casey Serin’s case, we learn that, while in the throes of multiple foreclosures, he still likes to go off for a nice massage . There is also mention of checking road conditions for a ski trip.And possibly in preparation for entertaining the other prison inmates, Casey Serin has been looking into both hip-hop and ballroom dancing.

I'm not a "vacation" kind of girl.

Right now, I'm sitting on a hardwood deck bar overlooking one of the most spectacular cays I've ever seen. I've got a frosty rum cocktail next to me and my only concern is keeping sand out of my laptop.I arrived yesterday, and spent most of the day scuba diving in turquoise waters, then lounging on a white sand beach the consistency of powdered sugar. I returned to my villa and found that

Were There Other Online Scams?

2007-05-02T18:23:00.000-07:00

Casey Serin has continuously purported to be a real estate investor. But his saved files show a much stronger inclination toward making money online. Casey Serin’s Earth Mission Blog only dates back to Jan 2006, but his interest looks like it goes back to June 10, 2005 with his discovery of ProBlogger: Helping Bloggers Earn Money! Casey Serin’s interests, not surprisingly, then take a turn

While Casey Serin was blogging about his desire to repay “every dirty penny,” his saved web links betray him. In fact, on September 23, 2006, he started a folder called “bankruptcy.”A few days later, he finds a perfect source for his “liar loans” schtick The same day, he finds another source he tags “blog it,” seemingly in an attempt to show the world, “See! I’m not *this* bad!”In a separate

What Could Social Bookmarking Reveal About Casey Serin?

Wow. WOW. Okay, kitty kats....we’ve all suspected for a while that Casey Serin is crazy. But “crazy” doesn’t begin to scratch the surface. As it turns out, Casey Serin is one cracked fucking nut.I stumbled across a list of favorite websites that Casey Serin saved. At first glance, it reflects the same Casey Serin that we have seen over at IAFF for the past eight months: obsessed with quick

So Casey Serin managed to beg the rent money to pay to Yulia. How disappointing for her. I don't know about you, but I'm thinking it came from his parents, who seem in no hurry to have his neverending foreclosure story move in with them.To celebrate, he's off to Lake Tahoe. Tells Galina he needs to "get back to nature," but follows that by saying that he'll spend the time catching up on emails

Will Yulia Stick to Her Deadbeat Deadline?

2007-05-01T14:41:00.000-07:00

The blogosphere is pulling for long-suffering Yulia Suprun, the sister-in-law who has been housing and feeding her deadbeat brother-in-law Casey Serin and her sister Galina Serin.Per Sercasey, Yulia dropped the bomb that he's going to have to come up with the two months' missing back rent and prepay an additional two months' in advance (via certified funds, no less) if he is to stay in her

Well, after spending most of the weekend beating my head against my desk, I think we've got a more workable and visually appealing version of the blog.I was sick to death of the green (sorry, Leigh!) and wanted to shift into some warmer tones. As for functionality, there might still need to be some tweaks, so let me know if you have problems with anything.Again, clicking on the title will

Live Long and "Prosper"

2007-04-29T18:45:00.000-07:00

"Prosper, America's first people-to-people lending marketplace, was created to make consumer lending more financially and socially rewarding for everyone. The way Prosper works is intuitive to people who have used eBay. Instead of listing and bidding on items, people list and bid on loans using Prosper's online auction platform. People who want to lend set the minimum interest rate they are

New Layout!

2007-04-29T03:58:00.000-07:00

After all of that green, I had to go to the other end of the color spectrum. I'm far from thrilled with the overall look, but at least at this point, the blog should be fully functional. While there are still some things that need to be worked out, I do hope it will be a lot more user friendly!A tip: By clicking the post title, you should be able to see all comments for that particular post.

Casey Serin and the Case of the Disappearing Money

2007-04-28T19:37:00.000-07:00

No doubt, Casey Serin's readers want to flog him.A repeated source of disgust in these pages, Casey Serin had the gall to hold an online beg-a-thon just a few weeks ago.Yesterday, his report that his car has been broken into and that sister-in-law Yulia Suprun is threatening to kick the Serins out of her house if they don't cough up two months' back rent has raised even more red flags.Casey Serin

Standards and Practices

A few weekends ago on the Chris Matthews Show, panelist Cynthia Tucker made such a shocking statement, I thought my neck would snap as I jerked my head from the kitchen to the living room to look at the television.As part of the usual routine, I was making some early morning coffee while the Sunday morning commentary shows blared in the background. While I tend to disagree with a lot of the

Not Suspending Disbelief Just Yet

2007-04-27T18:03:00.000-07:00

Fuck. Just getting caught up. Basically sat here all day waiting for a client to make a fucking decision and he calls 1) near the end of the day, 2) kept me on the phone for nearly three hours, 3) making my fuck-all do-nothing Friday actually seem like a lot of work, since I 4) didn't finish until after normal business hours.All that aside, thank God I'm not Casey Serin.V-dubs has been broken

The Things You Find in Your Blog's Logs...

2007-04-26T15:54:00.000-07:00

Most of the time, a blogger's logs are a great tool for gauging the traffic for any given topic about which we may write. To this day, I bemoan the fact that the satiric piece I wrote about Anna Nicole Smith's death got far more pageviews than, say, the piece on the Most Popular Event in the World. In rare instances, logs reveal more than we might expect. For a couple of weeks, I had noticed

More Casey Serin Nigel Swaby Bad Bidness?

2007-04-26T02:57:00.000-07:00

Does anyone else find it strange that Nigel Swaby announces he's going on vacation, and at the same time, Casey Serin goes missing?I'm just saying...the last time both Casey Serin and Nigel Swaby went quiet from the internet, they were trying to set up some shady sweet deals in Salt Lake City.Let the conspiracy theories commence...

APRIL, 2007Not 48 hours after begging his haterz and dancing like a little monkey for $220 to keep the CashCall wolves at bay, Casey Serin shows his appreciation by posting “I bought 1.3 million shares of GSPG on Friday via my corporation.

Casey whines and blames the haterz, but a couple of months later, will admit that Duane walked out because Casey himself wasn’t living up to his obligations. Namely, Duane wanted him to have constant contact with his creditors, and Casey

A Casey Serin Primer, December 2006

2007-04-23T20:44:00.000-07:00

DECEMBER, 2006Casey Serin starts the month with the idea that he will stop getting up at noon or later everyday and will start actually rising in the a.m. Trust that this will not happen for long. When he does manage to rise early, he treats himself to some well-deserved (in his mind) Jamba Juice and Starbucks, reminding readers that each drink further bounces his checking account and

2007-04-21T20:12:00.000-07:00

Let’s face it. Americans are breeding their humans stupider, lazier, and more ill-equipped to cope with life. This has been a slow but definite decline since the Greatest Generation, who somehow produced the hedonistic and slothful Baby Boomers, who grew up to do a 180-degree shift into S&L scandals, accounting frauds, and corporate takeovers.The Baby Boomers managed to be the poorest parents

2007-04-21T14:07:00.000-07:00

On any given day, there are perhaps two dozen daily and weekly papers that cross my desk. What this ultimately serves to do is reinforce my worldview that people are strange.The area where this is typically most evident is in different technological developments. Of course, this comes from the fact that, in creating watch "Flipper Nation." This humorous mockumentary follows two earnest young entrepreneurs who are determined to successfully flip houses in a down market.Casey Serin fans and critics will be particularly
