Get a Life, Bro
This joker in Dallas is already in line to pick up his pre-ordered iPhone 4. Launch date is when? The 24th? You’ve got like 6 days. Make yourself useful in this world.
Only Apple creates these kind of problems
Stop Skinning the Android
Look at this ugly ass screen. The time is already shown on the status bar. Why do you need a huge ass clock? It's a waste of app space.
You know what’s ruining the Android OS for smartphones? Custom user interfaces developed by hardware companies. I’m talking SenseUI and MotoBlur. Absolute wastes. What is wrong with the standard Android user interface? It’s fine. Anything to fragment the OS more…
So what’s so bad? 1)They’re ugly 2)They slow the phone down and 3)If Google releases an OS update, you can’t get it right away – either because it’s not compatable or because HTC has to tweak it before it gets updated.
Second of all, HTC is a hardware company – what do they know about software and UIs? This is why I hate the Droid Incredible. Hardware wise, it’s really good. But I’m just turned so off by Sense that I probably wouldn’t get it.
It’s bad enough Verizon has to mess around with the Android UI on the Droid. See, when 2.1 was released, Verizon took about 3 months removing features from it. Seriously, what the F? The original Android 2.1 OS was supposed to have a 3D app drawer and 5 homescreens. Verizon was like “nope” and kept the laggy assed app drawer and kept the three screens. The closest device to a pure Android experience is the Nexus One, which already got 2.2. I want 2.2 badly, but Motorola and Verizon devs need to probably strip all the cool shit out of it before sending it over. Mark my words, I won’t be seeing Android 2.2 on my Droid until next fall or later. (Such a shame because 2.1 is SO SLOW).
See I love Android to death and am not a huge fan of Apple, but I have to admit – having only one device helps. You release a new OS and everything updates at the same time. Not this notion that when a new Android OS is released every carrier and manufacturer needs to tweak it first before everyone gets it.
I was going to write lot more, but just read this Gizmodo article. It sums up my point to perfection.
Cut Out This Maybe Bullshit
You know what’s terrible? A maybe. If you haven’t noticed, I don’t like uncertainty. Give me a yes or a no. I hate bullshitters – give me a straight, to the point answer. Simple as that. Seriously – want to get anywhere in the real world? Be a CEO? You need to make decisions. And this ramble has nothing to do with people messing with my head. It relates to…
Facebook events! Nothing pisses me off more than when people RSVP to crap and say “maybe attending.” Like are you serious? It is either a “yes, I’m going” or a “no, I hate you/ no, I have something else to do/ no, your event sucks.” I literally had someone admit to me that he or she clicks maybe to be polite. Because declining an event is apparently an insult. Well you know what? Grow some balls and stop being so polite. Because to me, a maybe is a “I’m really not going to go, but I am too much of a little bitch to decline.” It’s the worst when I’m reading the maybe list and know someone on there who wouldn’t be caught dead at the event. And then I just shake my head in shame.
It could be that Facebook is annoying as hell and you need to get rid of your 321 event notifications. In that case, click the “remove from my events button.” That’s what I do. It doesn’t confirm you as a guest, it doesn’t put you on the decline list, and the person can plan accordingly. Be like me – I know my shit.
The only exception is college parties. People hop around and I understand that in college, people show up if they feel like it . For college parties, that’s totally fine because anything goes. But if it’s a formal event and you’re maybe-ing, you’re a moron.
PS -It’s 4AM, I just watched two episodes of Dexter and it’s absolutely hilarious and have absolutely no business being awake, let alone blogging. But only 3 people read these anyway, so who cares. I set this to auto publish at an hour people are actually awake.
People Looked Like Fucking Freakshows in the 1980s

Someone explain to me the point of the 1980s (besides the fact that I was born then). The decade sucked ass. I was only 2, so I don’t count myself as part of that mess decade – the 1990s were exponentially better. My point? People looked like fucking freakshows:
This picture has been on the internet since 1995, sue me.
First you get the whole big hair thing. It’s fucking nasty. Who’s idea was it to start that and why did it catch on? Protip: big fuckin lion mane rat nests are not attractive. Anyone who ever had their hair like that at one point should be eliminated. See that kid in the picture to my left? I’d probably piss the bed if I woke up and found nasty gross thing in my room. Then you have that dude. If you take his head and hair and superimpose it over his torso, they’re the same size. That can’t be right. I’m pretty sure that even if I tried, I wouldn’t have the slightest clue where to begin to get my hair looking like that. You need to do legit work to make yourself look like that much of asshole.
Then you have the whole hair metal rock scene (James Maresca, don’t read this part, you will be heartbroken). Hair Metal: Absolute garbage. You have classic rock in the 70s which is ballin that got suddenly transformed into thrashy noise. I can tolerate Bon Jovi and maybe 10 80s rock songs max, but for the most part, it’s crap.
<<I have nothing else to say here, I’m just filling space for layout purposes. Yes, this is ghetto. Read on below.>>
Absolute nightmare of style and pop culture, the 1980s. At least people look normal today. And don’t give me any of the “oh that was the style back then” bullshit. You all looked like morons.
