I'm pissed off at Kanye West because the fuckhead caused me to lose my name on Facebook. I've been swag here for nearly 11 years, and I was Swag Valance on Facebook since the beginning. Then the shithead decides he's going to rename himself "Swag" for a while, and then a bunch of his wannabe fans glom on to the "swag" name, inundating Facebook sign-up requests.

One day I log in to Facebook and discover that my name is considered illegal because of his ass and I have to choose a new one.

Fuck Kanye.

I changed my name on Facebook two years ago and have been barely back since.
:lol:

What if your name really was "Swag", would you have to show Facebook your birth certificate?

Yeah, been here about three weeks now. So far I've had two football "discussions" with people:

First was at a bar soon after I got there, we were talking to a couple people, then sports came up, and eventually I said I like Italian football (well, "soccer"). One guy said "Oh, so you like AC Milan then?" (like that's the only Italian club that exists), I was so horrified, my husband was amused though. :(

The second was when a couple guys came to our apartment to deliver furniture, we had the CL final on at the time. One of them asked if we were going to watch the WC, and we said yes. He said he follows the Mexican NT and my husband said that he liked Rafa Marquez when he was at Barca. The guy had no idea who that was. :lol:
Goes to show that the rest of the world seems to only recognize the Champions League and not league play in Italy.

As for Rafa Marquez, well, at least it wasn't Cuauhtémoc Blanco doing a send-off when half the fans outside of Mexico think he died a few years ago.

:lol:

Probably. It's taken me a while to get to the bottom of what happened. A couple years ago my login just got rejected and I got a nasty message saying that my name wasn't "real" and I had to change it. So I did (to something even more stupid and unmemorable).

It's taken me a couple of years of hindsight and registering on other social media sites to figure out what probably happened: Facebook likely got inundated with a lot of signups with "swag" in the name after Kanye did his mini-stunt and they decided to crack down on any existing and all future names.

So yeah -- I am guessing I would have to send a copy of a fake passport or something to get it back. I also realized I could have slid by their detection if I simply called myself "Swäg Valance". It's a complete pattern match and no other heuristics are involved.

Survived 9 days at Malaga, survived Metallica concert (which was utter shit), survived a date while having a massive hangover, now I only need to survive the weekend and I'll be just fine. :tup:

He is one of the worst parts of modern 'society'. him and his whore wife. It's sad to think that people actually do worship them.

    She is a professional whore. She's really not done anything else.

    Lots of money you don't need, a system, and discipline.
    I had a 2 weeks training working with Metatrader 4. I thought I'd get to be a trader but in the end they tried to 'convince' me to get in with my own money and start doing it. OR I could get a demo account with 10k, do one trade per day (with minimum 30 pips profit) and trade for a month. IF I end up with more positive than negative trades then I could get a job. IMO it was an impossible thing to do. I had many trades worth 220-270$ but those wouldn't count.
