Elementary, My Dear Watson

Wednesday, March 03, 1999

I just have to let you in on a secret, it'll kill me if I don't!  I've been doing some cyber sleuthing, I guess you'd call it, and $20.00 later I'm amazed at what I've found.  You see, x (formerly the wife) had the nerve to call me repeatedly from her new lover's house last week, wanting this, and wanting that.  I never answered the phone but thanks to caller ID, I now know the lucky hehehe one's name and phone number.  No biggie, not if your normal, but I'm not!

Curiosity got the best of me, and since the phone book didn't yield me an address for the new boy toy, I turned to the World Wide Web to see what I could dig up on this guy.  I started digging through my cluttered and grossly unorganized favorites (bookmarks), knowing that at one time I had saved a couple of "sleuthing" sites for future reference.

Wow!!!!!

I found a site that sounded good, promising me all the public information they could find on everyone matching the name I gave them.  A few clicks of the mouse later, and a $20.00 charge on my credit card (something I can't afford right now) and all I had to do was wait on an email from this place, an email telling me everything I'd ever want to know about this guy.  And all without getting off my ass!

This evening when I checked my email, there it was just waiting on me to take a peek.  I must say the adrenaline boost was awesome as I sat here staring at the header, almost afraid to open the message.  I opened it, fully expecting to find info on every other tom, dick, and harry with that same name, but no info about him.

Boy was I wrong!  I now know when his birthday is, the month and year not the day, his social security number!, and his current address, as well as his previous three addresses.  I also know how much he makes a year (I already know where he works), how much his house is worth, and how long he's lived there.  I know more about this boy (he is a boy, by the way) than x does, except, of course, how long his penis is, and what it tastes like.  You'd have to ask her about that kind of stuff.

Okay, now that I know what I know, what will I do with this information?  Nothing, not a damned thing!  I did it on a whim, to see if information is as easy as the experts say it is to retrieve.  The thrill of the hunt and the subsequent capture, it's over and I'm happy with the results.

As I sit here with a big 'ole shit-eatin' grin spread accross my face, I should be worried.  I mean, boy toy could be researching me, finding out the same kind of information I found about him.  I doubt it though, he doesn't look like he'd even know how to turn a computer on, let alone figure out the complexities of a two button mouse ;)

Good Night!
