A Saga of Phone Calls
July 20th, 2007 10:14 am

When I chose my cellphone number over a year ago I was going for something that was close to my brothers phone number. Little did I know that the former phone proprietor had a similar namesake to my own. It wasn’t long will I was taking calls for his booty calls, young women that I spent 20 minutes on the phone with trying to figure out how in the world I knew them. Finally, it dawned on me that I didn’t know who these people were.

The booty calls stopped (when I stopped providing the booty) and I lived in peace for a while.

Then another kind of call started coming, blockbuster, once a week would call me and tell me they were going to start charging me for my overdue movies. Turns out Tom never changed his phone number on his blockbuster account. Then today I got a completly different kind of call.

Check it via my chat logs(or logz if you’re “GaNgStA”

Ronin 10:28: DUDE!
ok, you know how I’ve been getting phone calls for this Tom dude for the last year and a half?
they’ve mostly died down

Jon - 10:29: yeah
Ronin- 10:29: but this is the call I just got:
-: Hi Tom?
Me:- Nope, this is Dan
-: oh..I was trying to call this number ###-####
Me: Yeah, thats my number but that’s not me. Who were you looking for?
-: Tom ***** from Vizad
Me: Wait…from Vizad?
The guy that had my phone before was at VIZAD!?

After tracking Tom for a while, I finally know where he is. Now the game is on!

Nice … Although I don’t think vizad has been around long enough for someone else to have had that number and worked at Vizad before you got your phone.

I got the weekly blockbuster calls on my skype phone when I had it…

Sorry, Vizad is my friends internet marketing company.

Sam: I think that he must have put his old phone number in out of habit.

preston is thoroughly convinced that tom and i are anti-matter - like we are just two slightly different incarnations of the same being. i didn’t believe it until i was at a meeting with him and i was working on my blog and tom reached into his messenger bag and pulled out the exact same computer!

OK, honestly. That is just weird. Weird. Especially in light of the fact that it’s only one digit off of Sam’s. And Jon Sandy’s number is one digit off of Jen (Preston’s wife and the owner of Vizad). Seriously, that is some weird weirdness.

Ok ok. I was about to start apologizing for this mess, but then I remembered that I was inadvertently referring “free booty.” So now I only feel half bad.

I think that number was on a Vizad email signature for about a week (I know, I know…nice one Tom) but it’s been fixed for some time. Hopefully the rest of the calls will taper off.

If you’d like to spam my current number to even things out, maybe we can reach some kind of agreement. Sorry man.

Tom

P.S. If Jenna calls, tell her I’m not taking her back.

PPS. Shep and I are most def anti-matter.

Seriously weirdness - Tom and Dan, I think you guys should get together and Rochambeau (southpark style) for the name and the number…
