WAAAY Overdue Rant

Sorry for the lack of non-football posts, but if you have been reading and following my picks you should be thanking me for the money i have won you, go ahead thank me , I'm waiting..... ok moving on you bunch of ingrates.


One thing that i have noticed lately, and i am guilty my self, is getting personally offended when someone hasn't seen a movie you like, especially if it is an uber popular one. Over the years i have personally pissed off many a person by admitting that i have not seen Star Wars, you would think everyone i know is a third cousin of the director or something. I have done this recently when the kellster has admitted to not seeing Shawshank Redemption which is shameful, see i cant even type this without doing it. Watch next time you are in a discussion and you admit to not seeing a movie, the other person will say "REALLY" with an astonished look on their face. I don't see why people get so protective of the movies they like, they feel if they like it, then you must like it too, which could lead to overhypage, but that is a topic for another post. I love when the person proclaims you must immediately go rent said movie or stop and drop everything you are doing and go ahead and see that film. Actually while we are here lets tackle overhypage. I'm not talking about endless commercials on television, have you heard there is a new Vince Vaughn movie coming out about couples and going on a retreat???? cuz i sure as heck have. Im talking about word of mouth overhypage. If you talk up a new television program or movie and say statements like "the funniest movie ever" the person goes into the movie already expecting the best movie ever chances are it wont live up to it. Personally i love when i got to a movie and am surprised when i come out as to how good it was. I would much rather have that than go in there with the expectation of laughing my ass off and only kind of laughing my ass off because it always leaves you feeling like it should have been better. That is why when i tell people what i thought of a movie especially a comedy i try and not over sell the movie. Same goes for a lot of things like when someone suggests a restaurants, if you expect the best meal ever chances are it will not live up to expectations, where as you have a great meal at a different place you feel like you have discovered a hidden gem.

This feels great typing this much, at work i have been cube hopping basically sitting where ever people are out because my computer broke over a week ago and instead of giving me a new one, us bank being the cheapo place it is, has to send out technicians out to see if they can fix the problem. A week later and i still am using others computers, the main place i go is to my neighbors cube who is on part time hours right now, her keyboard is from the 1980s i hate it, the space bar sucks, it sticks or you really have to push down hard on it for it to work, I hate typing on it. Speaking of computers i should be glad i am alive, the guy they sent out to fix it is probably the most creepy guy i have ever met. He is about 45 5 foot 4, red hair and he mentioned within 5 minutes of meeting him that he was a soldier. I was thinking there is no way i would feel safe if he was protecting the fridge on the biggest loser ranch after the cameras were turned off never mind the county. I can only hope he was Canadian. He is one of these people that laugh after every sentence no matter if there was a joke or not. We had the most awkward conversation, at one point he turned to me and said you have a good sense of humor, if this a movie or something there would have been creepy music playing in the background to signify that he was a stalker and i was a goner. Long story short he failed to fix the problem so he had to order a mother board, that is supposed to come tomorrow, so hopefully i make it home tomorrow without being kidnapped and duct taped in this computer geek's mother's basement. Oh yeah the worst part is when he got there he asked me for a "leave behind document" i printed what i was emailed but he said he was supposed to sign a leave behind documnment and that this paper was not a leave behind document and that his only instructions were to have a leave behind document, needless to say he say the words leave behind document 454 times in a 12 min span and if he said it one more time i would have flipped and stapled the leave behind document to his forehead while screaming "how do you like this leave behind document" just typing this story makes me angry. He managed to become the quickest inside joke of my groups history, can not wait to see what he has in store for me tomorrow. Just goes to show most computer guys are weird.

I was doing laundry in our basement and of coarse there was a dryer that still had clothes in it, I always feel so awkward moving peoples clothes out, especially if they are girls clothes. Thankfully i have never been caught, that would be weird if someone walked downstairs and I'm sitting there touching their underwear. Too bad there was not some sort of penalty for waiting too long to remove your clothes, now that most places take cards now instead of quarters there should be some sort of way to overcharge. Poor quarter, that used to be the most important coin now is being slowly phased out like the worthless penny, dime and nickle. Most laundry machines take cards now, most parking meters have a central pay station you use. The quarter used to be all big and bad bossing around the other coins, now he is back down to reality, like any cartoon/ show when someone has power they abuse it and during the episode they usually lose said power and are back down to the ranks of the people they pissed off and begs for them to be friends again, poor George Washington, he was above all now hes as useless as tits on a bull, thanks dad for that expression. Yeah i know that was probably the most random tangent but i liked it and that's all that matters you feel me?

How come people become so nosy in the supermarket? if you watch next time you will see that when a person walks by a carriage they will look in and judge the person on what they have. If you have fruits and veggies then the person thinks you are a healthy person, that is why you should pick up random items like tampons or anything embarrassing and put them in the cart of a person when they are not looking, when they get to the checkout counter they will be embarrassed. Even though you don't care about the 15 year old pimple covered teenage that is ringing you up, i bet you must feel the need to explain to them that the baby ex-lax is not for you, or that adult diapers got in there by some accident. It is a hard prank to pull off because you gotta time it right but big payoffs. payoffs sounds like playoffs which reminds me the sox playoff game is starting soon so i must go watch.

thanks so much bloggers its been a thin slice of heaven
