You Are Educated, Now Act that Way
I was about to go to bed since I need to get back on normal time, but became enraged when I was browsing through a certain social media website and saw someone typing LYk dIsSSS oMGGggggg!!!!!1 What enraged me more was that the person was a well educated, college graduate. Yes folks, this is the type of trash that is getting hired. I ranted about this back in 2005. While reviewing that post, I realized that I was talking about high school girls st the time. Yes, it still makes you look dumb, but looking back, I can cut them some slack. The moment I saw a college grad do that, my blood boiled at our ignorant society and utter stupidity.
Years ago, I wrote a program that does that to a computer. It spams the capslock key on and off so that the typing lOoKS LIkE tHIs. It is a prank and is designed to piss people off. By no means is this supposed to be used for any other purpose and the fact that people go out of their way to do this is sickening.
Apparently, people go out of their way to do this. Does it make you cooler? Please comment and let me know what the purpose of this is. Enlighten me. The only thing I can think of is that it makes you look like a fucking dumbass, so stop doing it. I hope your future employers read it it and not hire you due to your flagrant stupidity and feeble grasp of the English language.
Generic Laptop Rant #324
I hate my laptop. It’s old, slow and has a bunch of quirks that are pissing me off. It’s hanging in there, but it’s on its way out. I refuse to get a new one until Windows 7 is out, plus I don’t really feel like spending money right now (bad economy, I cut spending like everyone else). The latest annoyance? Severe overheating. That’s right. Anytime, the CPU is at 100% for about 5 minutes or more, or the fan is slightly blocked – BOOM, power down. This is becoming very frequent during high CPU tasks such as video encoding/ playback, photo editing, Google Earth, etc.
I’m kind of scared, because this happened to someone else with my exact model. It started slowly, but eventually wouldn’t stay on past a few seconds. So who knows when this thing will kick? I can tell you one thing though. It’s annoying as hell to be in the middle of something and then it just powers down. Fuckin’ stop that shit. Bitch ass trick.
Here’s Whats Wrong With The Law + Other Rants
See at this point I really don’t care anymore, and I shrugged it off and thought it was funny actually, but this is what pisses me off about strict law abiding places.
So I’m out for the night designated driving people around, and we’re hopping from place to place. 1) Some places just don’t care about IDs at all. No comment. 2) Most other places are chill and ID the people drinking – which is perfectly fine. I understand they don’t want to get shut down and lose their liquor license if we rat them to cops/ are undercover, etc. 3) The stupid ass places don’t let you in if you’re not 21. And here’s my problem with that. There were like 4 people there and I’m clearly the only person standing up straight. With less than 3 weeks until I’m 21, I’m the responsible one driving these guys around making sure they don’t die. So what happens? I get thrown out. Meanwhile it’s perfectly fine to continue serving drinks to the others (some of whom are literally no more than a month older than me – clearly much more mature and able to drink more responsible). It is clear that they can’t even stand up straight at this point and are falling all over the place, but they’re a month older and 21, so it’s fine.
So lets analyze this. People who are 21 and a month older than me who can’t stand – it’s OK for them to drink until they die. Me who just wants to sit in a chair and wait for these people to finish so I can take these people home safely – “Get the fuck out.” This makes a lot of sense. Therefore, I urge my readers not to follow the law, it’s awful and kills people.
And here are other things that suck:
- The Yankees – I love them to death, but their overpaid players all suck ass and can’t win ballgames. Texiera is useless (right now). They have a beautiful new stadium no one can afford which is empty all the time and makes us look as popular as a AA team. We also have monument cave – formerly monument park and really nice but is now in a cove-like area that’s. In addition, I propose renaming it to Wiffle Ball park, since the design is severely flawed and generates wind patterns that cause 229323 home runs and make the Yankees lose.
- Group projects – No one does what they should do and I always clean up after them. It’s 3AM and I need to finish a paper. Instead, I’m ranting
- Tom Cleary – Tom shut up. If you ask us if you should wash your jeans one more time or if the bathroom is a mess, I’m force-feeding you Ambien (a sleeping pill). You’ve repeated yourself more times than this dude I know with OCD (who also gives me an ulcer).
- Illness – It’s not that I’m really sick, but it’s just lingering around and needs to go away.
- The weather – Sucks balls. Not only did it rain for the past week, it’s getting depressing .Please stop. Also, it’s steamy as hell and gross. Summer is coming soon which is awful because it raises my electric bill, and it’s hot and annoying. Give me cool weather.
- Moving Out – School is over and I’m going to be home. This is lame as hell because I get to see the same 4 people all the time and can’t meet anyone new. Plus, any hopes of me getting things accomplished (which I need to be at school to get right) are now on hold until September
Fuck yaself, I’m pissed.
Headphone Wires

Portfolioso
You know what pisses me off to no end? Headphone wires. They are by far the biggest pain in the ass waste of my time ever. No matter how carefully and neatly I wrap them around my iPod, they always manage to get tangled into the worst possible knot. I don’t think I could actually knot the wires as much if I tried. I mean seriously… You take the wire and wrap it around the iPod in circles. You’d think it would just unwind the other way. But no.
I just spent 10 minutes getting these headphones untangled and I must have taken out 6 knots and fished the plug thing and the earbuds through various loops 20 times. This should not be happening every single time I put the iPod away. This is not helpful when you already spent an hour in traffic to get 15 miles since the parkway is closed because the sewers suck ass and cause the roads to flood due to never ending rain brought on by fucked up jet streams and you have to go through one-laned side streets with two minute traffic lights on each corner. (Run on sentence much?) I just want to listen to damn music already. FML
