[edit] August 2008 Post Summaries

Watch Casey Work LIVE 10-5 PST

August 29th 2008: Casey outlines his plans for a day of massive focused action live on his bedroom webcam. He claims to be doing it for accountability, but Haterz™ believe that vanity is the motivation. His 10-5 "work day" is stupefyingly dull, as he doesn't seem to do anything productive and never sits still for more than about fifteen minutes.

I’m a Professional Blogger and Internet Marketer… That’s My JOB

August 28th 2008: Casey admits to feeling down after the talkcast of the 26th. He says people telling him to get a job are getting on his nerves. He realized over the weekend that he already has a job, as a professional blogger, and explains that people will pay him to do it. Reasons why anyone would remain unclear to everyone else.

Casey.TV Acquired!!

August 26th 2008: Casey announces his purchase of the casey.tv domain name. According to the comments, he spent $500. Apparently the domain names serin.tv and caseyserin.tv, which Casey already owns, weren't sufficient or shiny enough.

Focusing on The Right Thing

August 25th 2008: Casey regrets regretting opening the blog again, so he implies it'll be open for a while. He says he'll do an 'Internet Fast' on Sundays - even though he updated his Twitter with stunning regularity on August 24th. He devises a new mission for the blog - to document his path towards wealth and riches (even though that's what all his blogs have been about). He's concerned a bit about the success going over his head. He also mentions trying to win Galina back. Again.

I’m Such An Arrogant Person

August 24th 2008: Casey hits on the "disturbing realization" that he might just be an arrogant, narcissistic prick who threw away his marriage just so he could bait Haterz on the Internet. He refuses to believe that Galina has ditched him permanently, and laughably still thinks he can "win her back". He ponders how to simultaneously balance blogging and suppressing his humongous ego, and in typical Casey fashion, decides to "sleep on it".

Old Photos, Lazy Saturday, Reality TV Angle

August 23rd 2008: Rather than doing anything productive, Casey writes nearly 1,300 words focusing on his favorite subject -- himself. Casey points out that his Flickr account is reactivated, and talks about his upcoming appearance on Nigel's KoiCast and his decision to enter the AmericanTVStar reality TV contest. Casey mentions that he told his family about the blog, and their reaction was "mixed". In the comments, Casey mentions that he went salsa-dancing with a "female friend" at Club 21, which is later revealed to be one of Sacramento's well-known gay clubs. Casey claims "he didn't realize it was a gay club", since he's not a details guy.

GoldSpring (GSPG) and Me... For The Record

August 22nd 2008: Another post in which Casey pumps GSPG, while desperately trying to convince readers that he is not a penny stock pumper. He posts an intriguing chart showing GSPG's performance over the past three months. Hater BelowTheCrowd points out an interesting analysis of GSPG's chart, using it to base speculation that one or more people have been manipulating GSPG's stock price.

Waking Up Late on The Positive Side

August 21st 2008: In this horrifying edition of TrueCasey, Casey goes to great lengths to film himself so as to appear as if he had just woken up; observant Haterz noticed Casey's already-combed hair and melodramatic eye-rubbing to indicate that the whole thing was just another troll. To the dismay of anyone unfortunate enough to witness the video without prior warning, Casey's bare, hairless, scrawny upper body is prominently featured. Multiple viewers report the video to Google as "obscenity or pornography".

My Own Reality TV Show?? Sweet Opportunity, But...

August 21st 2008: Aiming to take his life to a new level of surrealism, Casey talks about a supposed offer that he has received to audition for a reality television series. Initial investigation by the Haterz seems to indicate that at least one of the people behind the "series" has a possible history of collecting money from acting hopefuls and then vanishing. Has Casey been spotted as a mark yet again?

Stop Hatin' and Lets Help People Escape Their Mortgage!

August 20th 2008: In this post, Casey rebuffs the Haterz' criticism in a video, regurgitating his old talking points on education and W-2 jobs. He proceeds to wax idiotic on the economy in an attempt to justify why people facing foreclosure would possibly want to buy an intangible e-book from a penniless grifter.

Nigel, I'm Sorry

August 19th 2008: Casey posts another video, this time while sitting in his parents' backyard. At one point during the video, Casey holds a pink flower and, after realizing how he must appear, tries (and fails) to convince his viewers that he is "not gay." In the comments section of this post, Casey engages in some debate and discussions with the Haterz, thanking them for their opinions.

I Get Knocked Down But I Get Up Again

August 19th 2008: Casey admits to already failing his "96 Hours of Massive Focused Action" challenge, as well as canceling his appearance on a Talkcast scheduled with Nigel for that evening. Casey posts another video, at the end of which he can be seen performing trampoline tricks for no particular reason.

Fresh Monologue and a Classic Video For Ya, Productivity 100% on Escape My MORTGAGE!

August 18th 2008: Casey posts a video he filmed in his "Prelude to a Ferrari" (also known as Vdubs 2.0). During the video, he babbles incoherently for more than 30 minutes, bizzarely remarking at the beginning and end that he hoped the video would turn out to be "under 10 minutes." During the video, he rambles on about a variety of topics, including his personal spiritual beliefs, which Casey describes in the blog post as "weaving some spiritual stuff in there," seemingly proud of his oratorical skills. Casey also comments that he is "getting very motivated" because of the blog.

96 Hours of Massive Focused Action

August 18th 2008: Casey lays out his plans for a 48-hour work week, claiming that he will work 9-5, Mondays through Saturdays. He emphasizes that there will be "NO PERSONAL BLOGGING DURING WORK!", but quickly proves his inability to stick to even his own rules in that regard.

Gold Prospecting in The California Foothills

August 16th 2008: Casey and an "old-timer prospector friend" go panning for gold in a small stream. They predictably find nothing. Casey returns home, and gets dressed up to serve drinks at a "social event", in another in his series of "odd jobs".

Toilet Picture was Too Much, Here is a Video

August 16th 2008: Casey posts a bizarre YouTube video of himself, most likely inebriated or on drugs, wherein he apologizes for the urine picture, mumbles incoherently about the Federal Reserve, and gives a brief tour of his room -- an 80 square-foot space decorated in 1970's style. Allegedly operating on little sleep, Casey says he can't think straight because he hadn't napped the whole day. Casey whispers throughout the video, so as not to wake his parents up in the next room. Casey's strange behavior on the video leads many commenters to again speculate that he is mentally ill.

Dollar is Trash, Gold is Real Cash

August 15th 2008: Casey posts some conveniently-cropped charts and articles from "unbiased sources" such as Gold-Eagle.com, which espouse his gold-bug fantasies. Casey initially posts a picture of a dollar bill floating in his own urine; the picture was later removed because of his admitted "lack of taste".

Early Riser Challenge v2.0 - Wakeup at 6am for 26 Days Till My Birthday

August 14th 2008: Casey revives his failed early riser habit (setting the bar a little lower this time around at only 26 days instead of 30), and reveals that he needs multiple self-help gurus to learn how to turn off his alarm clock and get out of bed.

Internet Marketing, EscapeMyHouse Plan and 20% Success on Freebie

August 14th 2008: Admitting that he failed yesterday's goals, Casey shows off an excerpt of a "freebie" for his e-book, and decides that a market definitely exists for his foreclosure advice -- even though the same advice can already be obtained at no cost, and better-written by actual qualified professionals, elsewhere online.

Plan For Tomorrow

August 13th 2008: Casey diligently jots down a checklist of the day's goals, then proceeds to have 0% success seeing any of them through.

The Roadmap - War and Depression - Buy Gold and Sweet Mining Stocks Like GoldSpring (GSPG)!

August 12th 2008: Casey stays awake all night on a manic bipolar cycle, rambling about dollar inflation, American concentration camps, and the imminent arrival of World War III. He proceeds to pump Goldspring, angering an entire platoon of investors on the Yahoo message boards.

Taking Action

August 11th 2008: Casey trolls with a picture of himself wakeboarding, while other people are working... at jobs. He vows less talking about stuff, and more action -- which may mean reducing his daily nap time down to merely 14 hours per day.

Vision For the Blog and Commitment

August 10th 2008: After going to church, Casey rationalizes that Jesus wants him to be a chronic moocher. He has more commitment than before to continue the blog. No word on the "involuntary commitment" that's sure to befall him soon enough.

Saturday - Gym, Friends, A Little Business

August 10th 2008: Casey pumps iron, talks with another 20-something divorceé over dinner, and resolves to start working on an Escape My House e-book.

I Really Don't Know What I'm Gonna Blog About

August 9th 2008: Casey fiddles with his portrait and the sidebar text, and asks for suggestions from readers as to what to write about within his own personal life. Clearly a difficult decision, since he has no life.

Casey Serin Back Online with a Personal Blog

August 8th 2008: Casey makes his triumphant return online, blogging from his room at his parents' place.
