10 Things That I Wish Would Be Swallowed Up In A Blackhole...

10) The Octo-mom: Please go away and take those lips with you...
9) Most Rap music: Seriously, why is this crap still around?...
8) Toe rings: Unfortunately, most of them reside on an unpolished, crusty little toe...
7) Those weird breakfast sandwiches like the McGriddle...
6) Fashionistas: Most of them look like they were high when they got dressed...
5) People who blow their noses at the table. So gross...
4) Those little pieces of fuzz that sometimes inhabit my sweaters...
3) Phones that double as a walkie talkie.
2) Ugg boots.
1) Beyonce. Please shoot yourself into outer space and never come back...

Ahh Memories...

So recently, as I was perusing the annuls of some my friends Facebook accounts I see a picture of a girl that I used to know when I was in high school. Mind you I didn't just know her, I HATED her. Now hate is a pretty strong word you might be saying and I would agree, and I don't tend to use the word lightly. This being said, you can understand that my gut reaction to seeing her picture was one of utter vomit inducing chagrin. Although the name has changed, her beady little eyes are the same...

A little background to the story. I'm pretty sure she grew up poor. Her sister was of dubious infamy and she was not attractive. She had a lot of strikes against her but I got along with her at first. Even defended her when people made a snide comment about her. She was basically a wall flower and generally likable.

Then...one day she wins a student council election and the next thing you know she thinks she's the homecoming queen. She starts acting different towards people and becomes a totally changed person. Starts dressing better, actually starts wearing decent make-up. I think she is doing well for herself until her head gets bigger than it should have.

But I digress... that's not why I hate her. I guess her new status entitles her be free to say whatever she wants, or so she feels so, and then...calls me faggot because I didn't care for something she made in class as a project. I wasn't rude about it I just wasn't fawning over it. She got a laugh and then felt it was "okay" to continue to call me that whenever she wanted. The fact that she used to call me a "faggot" is why I didn't like this asshole. The fact that she used to do it in front of people is why I hated her. The fact that she would laugh afterward in her funny little Spanish accent is why I HATED her.

So my question is this: Is it still okay to despise someone after all this time? Is this something that we naturally feel or is it something that I have conjured up to hold onto past feelings? I actually haven't thought about her at all until I saw that picture. Interesting thought...

Ahhh, The Grocery Store...

"20 Most Annoying Things at the Grocery Store"

Here's another interesting article from WalletPop. 20 things that piss you the fuck off at the grocery store.

While reading this, I was brought back to the days of my old neighborhood here in Hartford, CT. Actually, since I just moved it would have been within the last month but who's counting...Anyway, all of the irritating habits and situations listed here could be found ALL THE TIME in ANY AISLE! Being that the nearest grocery store was basically near one of the worst parts of town (think about that old man who was run over and left in the street while people walked by), you get to experience some of the worst attitudes and manners outside of NYC and Jersey.

I would have to agree with #5 "express lane abuse". But what kills me even more is when this occurs and the cashier doesn't say shit to the offender. A simple "I'm sorry, this is the express lane", would suffice. But, alas, they usually do nothing. I was in line once in said grocery store and the person brought 2 shopping carts into the express lane. Yes, 2! I was totally ripped as it was and when the cashier just rolled her eyes, took a deep breath and started to scan their items - I lost it. I simply asked the person if they were aware of the 10 items or less sign right in front of them and the response was, "Yo no hablo inglés." After hearing that I figured it was probably not a battle that I was going to win so I ate crow and waited my turn.

One thing that I did not see on the list and seems to be running rampant is "People who don't know how to use the electronic/payment pad". I don't know what world these people have been living in for the past 10 years, but everywhere you go these days payment pads abound. Do you buy liquor? Payment pad. Do you rent movies? Payment pad. Do you buy clothes at Wal-Mart? Payment pad. You have to have used one or two somewhere sometime prior to coming into the grocery store today. Some people even act like they don't even know how to swipe the damn card through the machine. Even though there is a picture and arrow showing you which side to swipe and what direction, it obviously is too much for some people to handle. Then of course the simple act of remembering their PIN number can be a test of wills and patience. God forbid if they need some cash back...

The crying kids are annoying yes, but what's worse is the mother of said kid going all ghetto on the child. Here at previously mentioned grocery store, not only will the parents scream back at their kids but they will also string a nice clustering of obscenities into the tirade. I can't tell you how many times I've heard "shut da fuck up" or "I gon kick yo fucking azz" drifting on the air over the shelves from the next aisle. The parenting seems to be measured in how loud they can yell and scream at the kid. The louder and more offensive, the better. Whatever happened to dignity people?

Another item that wasn't covered are the people who are on the cell phone the whole time they are in the store. From the time they set foot in that door until the time they leave, whether it be shopping for food, roaming the aisles or checking out (which really sucks), they are on that phone come hell or high water. Excuse me? You want me to pay for this shit I brought up here right now? How dare you interrupt my phone conversation. I was telling my baby daddy about that bitch in aisle 3!

Here's a side note observation: I'm not going to say ALL of the people because that would not be accurate but MOST of the people are paying with an EBT card (food stamps) yet they have the most expensive phone, their nails are done exquisitely, they have the good wigs (real human hair probably) or weaves and the name brand clothes. I don't have money for food, but I have money for my nails and hair! Nice to see our taxes are going to good use...

I like the combo offenses as well: the screaming profane mother on the phone who forgot their PIN number. Yep, I'm going to miss that store. Good times, good times...

Driving Woes...

"Latest excuse for driving 80 mph in wrong lane? Texting"

Texting and driving? Can you say stupid idea?

Interesting combination of idiot actions here. It's bad enough to not pay any attention to the road because you are text messaging your girlfriend sweet nothings in her phone (allegedly, maybe he was breaking up with her? Maybe she was a he and he was his boyfriend? Who the hell knows...) then you add on the fact that you are drunk makes it even more ridiculous. Then you add driving down the wrong lane of traffic at 80 miles an hour to the recipe and you have the makin's for a big ol' mess on the road. Most likely your splattered head on the pavement.

I really do think that people are way too distracted on the roads these days. If it is not cell phones, it's your iPod. If it's not your iPod it's your DVD player. If it's not your DVD player it's your navigation device. If it's not that it's you picking your nose and so on...Whatever happened to the fucking radio and getting directions before you left the damn house? Is it too much to ask that you take the 2 minutes you need to look up the directions or make that VERY IMPORTANT phone call or watch that Miley Cyrus movie before you leave the fucking house?

And why do we need a DVD player above the dashboard of a vehicle. Isn't that just inviting the prospect of a severe flaming inferno of a head-on crash to happen? I suppose next we'll have to wear weird glasses or some sort of headgear to watch 3-D movies while we drive. One's that allow us to split our vision in half- one eye on the road and one eye on the yo-yo that goes up and down in the movie (a regular 3-D go to effect). Perhaps then, someone will invent a device that splits our attention as well?

The other day we were driving to go out to eat and I saw this women with a fucking Whopper in one hand, a cigarette in the other and her head cranked to the side holding the cell phone to her ear oh and yes - SHE WAS DRIVING AT THE SAME TIME! The only thought that came to mind was that this is why people get killed on the roads. This is why our insurance rates are astronomical. If she had to make a sudden stop what was she going to do? Throw down the burger, stomp out her cigarette and put the person on hold first? Amazing...

I must admit there is one thing that garners my attention every time I see it and that is someone so wrapped up in fishing that big ass booger out of their nose they lose all sense of reality and forget that they are on the road. I guess the only reason why I am watching is to see if they eat it. And sometimes I'm not disappointed...

Coincidence? Probably Not...

Okay, this is going to sound far fetched but it has happened entirely too many times to be a coincidence. Last Friday's latest hijack kinda set me off.

I think a certain other blogger is ripping off my material.

There, I've said it. It seems that when I post a totally bizarre story it interestingly enough shows up on his site either later that same day or the day after with the same link associated with the story.

Now, I know that it is a free country and all but dude, DO YOUR OWN FUCKING RESEARCH! Or at least thank me for finding the article. A few friends have said that I should either change the URL of my site or kill off this one and start anew. Unfortunately, I have worked my ass off getting this one where it is so I think that I'll stay put...for now.

So shady and lame and you know who you are...Mario.

It is kind of flattering in a way but at the same time a little gratitude would be nice. That's all I'm saying...

Needed To Be Said...

"Woah 'Mamma' ... Gay Crowd Snubbed?"

Totally ridiculous...

Alright, something has to be said about this crap.

I AM SO TIRED of people shoving gayness up in everyone's face. This doesn't make you any less of a human or better of one.

I AM SO TIRED of non-gay people threatening to kill the gays because they can't get married. Just let gays get married and they'll most likely shut the fuck up. What do you care anyway? Is there some secret list of marriages that you are keeping in your well fortified safe that you have to keep tabs on? Are you trying to save the planet by not having as many flowers slashed down because of an overflow of weddings that may or may not happen? Does the fact that the little grooms and brides that go on top of a cake will now have to be sold separately bother you?

I AM SO TIRED every time something such as this "snub" happens it's because "we're gay". No, it's not because you are gay but if you keep this shit up, it will be. Nobody likes to go to parties where the hosts are crybaby assholes. Just keep that in mind...

HELLO! The damn movie isn't even gay themed! Just because us fags like ABBA and that the music of ABBA just happens to be the tie throughout a movie doesn't mean that said movie is automatically "gay"! Get a life fellow faggots.

Sometimes I feel embarrassed of the gay community because we get caught up in such ridiculous drama. So the people didn't show up to the opening. WHO THE HELL CARES! Maybe they didn't feel like working that day. Have you ever woke up and said, "Oh screw it, I'm calling out today."? We have all done it at some point in life and who are we to judge someone else for doing the same thing?

Get over it and move on...

Drama In The Parking Garage...

So...This morning I was tongue lashed by an ugly women with a bad wig. What, you say? Well, it all started with a simple question...

I am driving into the parking garage and parking in my usual area when I see this guy wearing a Hawaiian shirt and jeans. No big deal, right?

So I park and get out of my truck and then see another guy (I used to work with him before he transferred to another floor) wearing a Hawaiian shirt and jeans also. No big deal, right?

So I walk to the elevator and see ANOTHER person, this time an older haggish looking creature wearing a very bad wig, which was on slightly crooked and quite possibly had a chin strap, who was also wearing a Hawaiian shirt and jeans. So I ask her, "Is it Hawaiian shirt day on one of the floors?". She then precedes to rip me a new asshole and claims that I am being rude by having the nerve to ask her that. She also screams a question as to whether she should return home and change just to satisfy my fashion taste. The first thing I thought was "Fuck you", but instead of saying that I tell her, not only was her response rude but she should leave her crabbiness at home before she comes to work Crabby McCrab, (yes I did call her that).

So we are walking out and I didn't bother to hold the door for her...

My question is this, Was it entirely rude of me to ask that question or was this Harpie just looking for a fight?

You Tell Me...

So, I'm going to sound like a total racist here but it is what it is...

The building that I live in is a fairly nice 5 story condo enclave with "key access only" around the perimeter and a lobby accessible only by a key and call box which every unit is hooked into. Sounds pretty safe right? We have parking by permit and security that patrols every so often (I can't really say they are effective but they are present).

So, there was virtually a zero percent crime rate on the premises until (at least since I have been there and it's going on 3 years as of August)...here it comes (the racist part)...several black families have moved in. Apparently, a few owners have decided to buy up the empty units and rent them out. Since said families have moved into the complex, we have had several cars broken into, a motorcycle stolen, a few of the garages have been broken into (some have had the fencing separating them cut with bolt cutters) and items stolen from these privately owned garages, the laundry room has become a dumping ground for all kinds of shit like garbage, old unwanted clothes and miscellaneous household items such as air filters, pots, etc. The elevator has had the lights replaced at least twice because someone keeps popping the light bulbs, not to mention someone has taken to etching all kinds of graffiti into the doors of said elevator with a key possibly and there is now trash being left all over the fucking place like the hallways, elevator and grounds.

We recently got a notice from the association stating that "someone" has recently been throwing their cigarette butts out the window of their unit and has started the bushes directly below them on fire not once but twice!

Isn't there a fucking pre-rental screening of the possible occupants? WTF?

I feel like I have now all of a sudden been moved into ghetto-ville. I also have a guy (yes he is black also) who just moved into a studio down the hall from me. Apparently, there are now 5 people living in that studio including a very loud girlfriend and her 2 year old child, a shady looking 6 foot 7 inch friend whom I have caught "accidentally" trying the doors of other's on the floor and some random guy who shows up every other week. And believe me, they are not quiet in the least.

So you tell me, am I racist or am I right? I don't see any coincidences here actually...

WAH! That Dog Is Dirty! WAH!...

"Muslims outraged at police advert featuring cute puppy sitting in policeman's hat"

Complainers are the worst. It's like they intentionally seek out shit to cry about. I bet there have been a few instances where a dog has saved a Muslim's ass throughout history and the dog probably didn't even think twice about it either.

I am getting so sick of these dumbass religious groups butting their elitist noses into everything and anything. Just shut the fuck up and mind your own business. Like you have nothing better to do than to create drama about a cute little puppy.

I am actually kind of perplexed because you usually don't hear of this kind of crap happening outside of the US. I know that everyone has a right to their opinion and that is great; just don't shove it down everyone's throat. If you don't like dogs, then don't get one. If you don't like the poster, than don't look at the God damn thing. Simple as that.

Looking at that picture has got me thinking. I would like to pose my pugs in the same manner but with a Santa hat. I think it would make a cute Christmas card. Maybe I'll send them out to some Muslims, LOL...That was sick, ha ha ha...I just have to make sure that the stamps have baby pigs on them...

Gas Pains...

"Oil rises as gas prices hit all-time high: The national average price for a gallon of gas rises to $4.086, with 33 states paying more than $4 a gallon. "

Before you know it they will have loan applications at the gas pumps .

I don't know where you live but here in Connecticut, the gas prices are fucking outrageous! I had to fill my tank up yesterday because it was empty, duh, and I nearly shit my pants when I saw the price meter keep going up and up and up... I ended up putting in over $70.00 fucking dollars. I was so pissed. When in the hell is this going to stop? There is no good reason why these assholes keep gouging the public. Then you have the God damn Republicans who don't want to do anything about it. Makes me totally sick.

I have now decided that I am going to buy a scooter and have been looking through the Internet feverishly. I actually saw one that was modestly priced and a Honda for that matter...

Tennis Bitches...

"Tennis Champ Justin Gimelstob Says He Wants to Make Anna Kournikova Cry"

It wasn't that bad, come on...

I laughed so hard when I read this. I think that the press is making this into a dramatic affair rather than what it was, a joke. If you knew who Gimelstob was before the diatribe heard 'round the world, then you would realize that he was probably making fun of her in a light-hearted manner. Besides, she is a bitch and never really amounted to anything on the tennis court. She never won a title and actually, I don't think she was really into the whole work ethic thing. She partied way more than she played.

The media has now replaced her with that ugly snatch Maria Sharpova and this is one person I don't get. She doesn't look particularly stunning and in fact she looks quite average, but they play her up as this Playboy centerfold. She has zero personality and most of the women on tour can't stand her because of her attitude and diva demands.

I read that a concierge at the Plaza in NYC was fired for addressing her personally when carrying her bags. Apparently, we mere mortals are not to address her or look at her unless specifically asked to by her majesty. I also watched a match between her and Tatiana Golovin on ESPN one night and she was getting her ass kicked until Golovin rolled her ankle. Scare-a-pova then acted like a douchebag and didn't even have the courtesy to go to the net and ask if she was okay. I think she actually asked for a time delay violation be given for the injury at one point. The announcers were really taken aback and Mary Carillo (one of the most famous female sportscasters, and former tennis pro herself) called Sharapova "cold". She eventually turned her back to the girl as she lay there crying. I totally thought she was a piece of crap after I saw that.

I also read an interview during this years Franch open with Mary Pierce and they asked her who was the one women she disliked on tour and she said right off the bat, "Sharapova". LOL...

Lazy Ass People...

I need to vent here for a minute...I am so sick of lazy ass people getting on the elevator only to go up or down ONE FUCKING FLOOR. Take the stairs you lazy turds if it's one floor up or 2 floors down!
