My Hate Blog

Arrogance Defined

by Vince on Feb.12, 2007, under Random

I’m gonna do something new here, on myhateblog. I try, generally, not to target individual people and rant and rave about how much I hate them, and how much of a prick they are. Through my anger fueled rantings I know when something is constructive and when it isn’t. I try, for the most part, to include some intelligent comments where I can- though this doesn’t necessarily mean all my posts will contain this ;) But today…. I just can NOT avoid the potential for exploitation as for my next subject.

Some of you may be aware of a “Netrepreneur” by the name of Tyler Cruz. Some of you may read his blog and find his information beneficial to your monetary cause. Some of you, god forbid, may even use his site as a source of inspiration to make your money online.

Over the past few months it’s become clear that his blog has become nothing more than, and I quote someone from IRC, a “condo hunting blog”. He’s begun losing focus over the purpose of his blog, which is to provide information for other potential netrepreneurs, and he’s begun spouting more and more bullshit about his new condo, which we have simply dubbed; “the old peoples home”.

Now, I’ve no doubt that Tyler is excited with his new purchase. Clearly excited enough that he feels the necessity to inform us at every fucking step of the way how his purchase is going. But what really gets my goat is how he thinks his readerbase actually gives a shit. People don’t view your blog to find out about your condo, Tyler. They either view your blog to see how your career is going, or to get some hints and tips at how best to make their money online. Your blog has now become the height of arrogance and is, in my humble opinion, a web laughing stock. If you’re that excited about your new purchase, go call your mom – that’s what she’s there for.

Some of you may be thinking “You’re just jealous”. Any of you who know me, will know that this is simply not true. I’m well aware that Tyler hit a niche at the right time, and undoubtedly made a lot of money. Whether or not this is still the case, given the recent restrictions with online gambling, remains to be seen. My criticisms aren’t without the well earned praise. Congratulations, Tyler. Really. You made some money with your sites. You set out to achieve what you wanted. Well done. Why, then, do you think that you’re some kind of God, adorned by thousands, and that people give a fuck about how you’re going to spend that money? People aren’t interested in that stuff. It only further illustrates how materialistic you are, and how (I’ll say it again) arrogant and full of yourself you are.

The base inspiration for this post is the video which Tyler recently added to his blog. For those of you who haven’t seen i, I advise you to go to his blog now and view it. For I will be critiquing the highlights for pure amusement value:

The video begins with Tyler driving into his “underground parking”. I guess this is meant to be some kind of fucking historic moment that he never wants to forget. His girlfriend appears to be the moronic bitch recording the video. How she can possibly do this at his request and still fuck the guy amazes me. Perhaps she has a lisp too and finds it difficult to date?

We then see Tyler walking into the condo. The front of the condo seems to be something out of an episode of the Flintstones, with shitty stone pillars supporting an overhead shelter into the entrance. He then points out that his condo has “boxes”. Boxes? Oh, you mean mail boxes. Sure, we’ve never seen those before. You the man, Tyler. I want me some boxes! He then utters the mortal words; “this is kind of like a hotel”. That’s because, sir, it looks like an old peoples home. Where do they keep the wheelchairs?

“It’s a bit messy because only a small amount of stuff has been put here, and there’s not really anywhere to put it”. What’s, that Tyler? There’s nowhere to put your stuff? How does that work? You just bought a new condo and there’s nowhere to put things? What the fuck do you want, a free pre-written floor plan of all your stuff so you know where you can put it?

Tyler then goes on to give us a tour of his “living room slash dining room”. He tells us where his TV will go and then proceeds to inform us that his fireplace is gas driven, by jumping in front of it like a four year old and saying “tada”. Well, Tyler, with any luck the gas plumbing will be bad and leaky….. I say no more.

We go into the kitchen, where Tyler turns on the kitchen tap to show us the amazing feature of “water”! If you guys don’t have water at home, don’t worry, when you make a few bucks online you can move into a condo that has water as standard. The best part is, you can stop collecting rainwater from dustbin lids – this shit comes out of a metallic thing called a faucet at the push of a button. For real!

Elsewhere within the kitchen we see a broken dishwasher. That’s right, a brand new condo and the dishwasher is busted. Smooth. We see a microwave that has some stupid fan settings on it. Presumably this will be used by his moronic girlfriend, because she can’t cook for shit.

We go into the bathroom, where Tyler says that the bathtub is “unusually high”. Well, I’m not sure about you but it looks like a pretty standard bathtub for me. Maybe a little small for his girlfriends fat ass – which we see briefly when the camera pans across the mirror, but it’s pretty standard. Oh but wait… he forgot he turned it on earlier, so it’s a little wet. Douche. Only a douche would turn on the bathtub in a fit of excitement.

Onto the laundry room where Tyler teaches science. “You can shut the door if it gets too loud.” WOAH! STOP THE PRESS! We have a serious fucking physics breakthrough here. If things get too loud you can shut the door? Why wasn’t I told this at birth? All these years I’ve been leaving the goddamn door open when doing the laundry. All I had to do was close the door??????

We move onto the next day where we see the condo with furniture in. My first observations are; “Dude, your TV sucks”. For someone who claims to have made a shitload of money on the Internet, you’d expect them to have a big ass widescreen plasma TV right? Those things are only like a thousand bucks. No, we see some shitty sub-21″ CRT TV.
Tyler then says that the “acoustics of my TV in here is actually better”. The acoustics? Are you shitting me? It’ s all in your head man. All in your head. What kind of douche thinks about the fucking acoustics of their crappy TV?

We then see the sub-furnished office where he tells us that he’s “treating” himself “after the move” by reinstalling World of Warcraft, and he has the expansion conveniently propped up to be snapped on video. Well, we all know the kind of people who play World of Warcraft, right? This moron hasn’t even finished moving in yet, there’s shit all over the place in his condo and he’s already installing WoW. Does he expect his fat ass girlfriend to finish everything? HELLO! Priorities, sir.

Finally the video is over! Seriously though, I see absolutely no connection with his earnings, his websites and this new condo at all. Am I the only person out there who understands that ANYONE with ample CREDIT can obtain a MORTGAGE? It’s nothing new, people have been doing this shit for years and years and years. Had Tyler bought the condo outright, with website earnings, then I would’ve been slightly impressed. He hasn’t.

What we are left with, dear readers, is a guy who has achieved approximately nothing at all with his so called earnings. A guy who considers himself to be some kind of inspiration and “leader” to people trying to make a few bucks online. A guy who has the absolute sheer fucking arrogance to create a presentation like this in an attempt to somehow dazzle us with the facts and figures of his website revenue. I’m not sure about you, but I see through all that bullshit.

If you’re wondering why I took the time to write this blog post about Tyler, if I “so clearly hate the guy”, then I’ll tell you. I type amazingly fast. It probably only took me 10 minutes of my time to write this blog post. The post isn’t necessarily just about Tyler, if you read between the lines it’s more an illustration of Internet Arrogance in general.

Tyler, if you’re reading this, here’s some advice for you. Stop thinking you’re “the man”. You made a few bucks with some lucky niché related sites. What are you gonna do now that online gambling is fucked? Stop turning your blog into some fucking self-masturbation condo loving freak show. Keep it to business, and business only. Then perhaps you’ll gain more credibility in a field where it really doesn’t pay to be arrogant.

    Hey, let me just start off by saying I love this blog and I always get a great laugh out of your posts when I read them and I usually agree with them.

    However, I don’t think you’re getting the point of what he’s trying to do. He’s just really pumped because 2 years ago he was some bum teenager living with his parents, and now he has a condo. I’d be pretty damn happy too.

    Also, I don’t think his blog was ever made solely for website updates and crap. It’s his personal blog, let him post whatever the heck he wants. If you don’t like it, just delete the feed of your reader. That’s the beauty of it all.

    I’m not trying to be rude, and you can continue thinking of Tyler whatever you want, I just wanted to add in my two cents.

    Michael:-

    All 2 cents are welcome here. Freedom of speech is key. Thanks for reading, btw.

    Clearly you seem to have missed the key points of my post, though. What is it exactly Tyler is trying to do? Anyone can get a mortgage and move out of their parents, it’s nothing new – thousands of people do it every day. All you need is a job and sufficient credit. These days they’ll give credit to anyone in the hopes of screwing them over and taking their home.

    I’m offended you’d think for one second I even have his blog in my reader at all. Occasionally I glance at it to laugh at whatever bullshit condo update he’s posted, and to get a glimpse of the retirement home for myself. Other than that I’m just a passer by.

    For an unjealous passer-by, you certainly parsed that video. Quite the Masterpiece of Spite, sir! Well, if you dont like it, don’t watch it, I say. Tyler has a right to be proud of his achievement and buying a home at his age is a huge thing. And like Michael says, its TYLER’S BLOG! Also, those comments about his girlfriend are uncalled for.

    “Quite the Masterpiece of Spite”. Wow, thank you. I’d like to thank my friends, my family, my dog Trudy and toilet paper for making this award possible….

    The ironic thing here is the “don’t like it, don’t watch it” attitude can also be applied to your comment. Don’t like it? Don’t comment. Unless of course, like me, you were bored and had a few minutes to spare – so thought “Shit, why the hell not?” ?

    So, singling out the comments about his girlfriend, I suspect you agree with everything else I said?

    No. Rather, I was impressed with your Subtle, thought-Provoking Analysis of people who play World of Warcraft, so I decided to respond. In fact, I feel about you what a dog would feel about a fire hydrant.

    What analysis of World of Warcraft players would that be, exactly? I posted no such thing.

    Clearly you’re a World of Warcraft player and used to seeing imaginary shit all day. That explains everything.

    Yet more sanctimonious drivel from the bowels of irrelevance.

    How old are you, really? Do you know anything about mortgages? And how hard it is to qualify for them when you’re Tyler’s age?

    And your reference to World of Warcraft is in Paragraph 16 (assuming you can read your own hackneyed prose). You don’t even recognize Archie’s use of irony. It just went —poof— right over your head. I can tell it took you only 10 minutes. Maybe 5.

    You delete comments too. I notice one disappeared. You’re probably blocking the guy–Archie– from posting too. Such a thin skin– you can’t take the heat either. Grow up.

    Tyler will probably own half of Canada in 20 years and you’ll still be typing your miserable little blog.(Tell us how fast you type– maybe you’ll impress us!)

    Y’know…. my sides are actually hurting from physically laughing so hard at your biased post. There’s nothing sanctimonious at all about what I write. Anyone with a grasp on the English language can quite clearly see that. Unless of course, you’re throwing in some “big words” to try and give yourself a fake air of intelligence. It didn’t work, by the way. None of your other points are even worth retorting to, because of who you are.

    You are Tylers fat assed moronic girlfriend? There can be no other explanation for the genius in the closing statement; “Tyler will probably own half of Canada in 20 years”. That is, without a doubt, the most hilariously idiotic thing I’ve ever read in 2007. Congratulations. Way to give yourself away, you fucking dumb slut. Any ounce of potential credibility you had has now disappeared. Knowing that you’ve read this blog, surely Tyler must have too? Where is the stuttering prick to defend himself, or you? Do you realise what a loser you’re dating?

    Tell me, what’s it like to fuck a guy with a lisp ? Does he spit all over you during sex? Do you enjoy it? For the viewers here, can you let us know if you indeed also have a lisp, and how hard it is for you to pick up guys? Can you tell us why any woman would involve herself in such a hilariously pathetic video recording of her boyfriend moving into his new condo? Surely you must be pregnant right? That’s the only logical reason I can think of. You’re pregnant, and now you gotta stick it out with that loser for the next couple of years, until the baby is old enough for you to leave. Just do me a favour will you? Call it Vince. Ahahahaha.

    Sheese! Hahahaha! What a funny blog! Too bad you got it all wrong. Tyler’s just happy he bought a condo. It IS a big achievement considering he’s like, 20(?) and he made the money for it from websites. It does kinda go with being a netrepreneur because it’s inspirational. And anyway, I thought a blog was for personal stuff. He can put whatever he wants on there.

  • somecunt
    February 15th, 2007 on 3:32 pm

    I didn’t get anything wrong. Tyler got a mortage – that’s no great achievement. There is NOTHING inspirational about getting a mortgage. It has nothing to do with being a “netrepreneur”. If you think it does then you’re in the wrong line of business.

    REAL netrepreneurs BUY their own condos/houses outright, no mortgage necessary.

    And you’re right. It’s his blog, he can put whatever he wants on there. But as with anything on the Internet, expect great criticism and being made fun of ;)

  • Barney
    February 15th, 2007 on 3:51 pm

    What kind of business should I be in? Hahaha!

    Did you read his blog today? There’s a pic of him with a check for $23,000 on it.

  • somecunt
    February 15th, 2007 on 4:04 pm

    You wanna be in an “inspirational business”? Become a musician or an actor. Then you can have your own bunch of screaming fans tell you how much you inspire them and how much they wanna suck your cock.

    There’s nothing “inspirational” at all about making money online, or reading about how much money other people make online. It’s a do or don’t business. You either fucking do, or you either fucking don’t. Being a voyeur won’t get you anywhere. These sad fucks who read his blog should take pity on him and his hideously decorated condo, whilst taking hints on what shitty furniture NOT to buy. That is perhaps the only inspiration you can get from it.

    Am I meant to be impressed that Tyler got a cheque for $23,000? I’m not impressed in the slightest. $23,000 isn’t a lot of money, especially after conversion. It may, however pay for his girlfriends liposuction on that seriously fat ass, which would be a wise thing to invest it in.

    Also, note the seriously homosexual overtones of that photograph. I guarantee you the second that old guy got home, he went into the bathroom and jerked off to a copy of the picture because he enjoys setting up deals with young men. That picture is worth more than the cheque alone, in terms of sheer comedy value.

    Great blog post, probably the funniest thing I have read in a while.

    Have you seen his SitePoint posts, “X months later”. They’re just an excuse to boost his ego a little more.

    Aswell as that, you seen the way he dresses? It’s like he’s still a kid. His watch is probably a few dollars, his clothes are too small and he needs a watch.

    Now onto his condo, as you said, his furniture is shite. If he makes the amount of money he says he does, the least he can do is buy some good furniture. For fuck sake, he hasn’t even got a bed. :| The money he says he makes and he’s just got a shitty matteress on the floor.

    Then onto his car, fuck; I would be ashamed to drive that. What is it? A Toyota Shitbin? I could never be proud of that.

    His videos suck, he sounds gay with his little porno lisp, his condo is shite, nothing to be proud of, it’s got a bath and some cupboards he can use to play hide and seek with his slut.

    Tyler, get a life and some proper sites you prick!

    I really respect Tyler and I do get inspired from his blog, but this post is hilarious. Those of you taking it serious, the guy’s whole blog is about hate – take it with a pinch of salt. How anyone can’t see the funny side of this entry, I’ll never know.

    I’ve seen some pretty funny things in my short life but this has got to be the funniest thing I’ve ever seen on the internet. I almost actually fell off my chair.

    I agree with your comments about Tyler Cruz and found the whole thing hilarious, I also liked Karl’s comment, but what’s with the girlfriend hating? Cruel….but hilarious

    Wow, lots of comments here. Welcome to my world.

    As for people saying the comments about his girlfriend were uncalled for; can you really defend a woman who states that her boyfriend will own half of Canada in the next 20 years? Shit, please. The bitch is just as retarded as Tyler.

    I have to say, I enjoyed the read Vince. Can’t say I agree with it 100% but hey; to each their own right? And, being from Canada… [insert20yearquote], That’ll be the day I become an American.

    Look forward to more posts from you.
