You ever notice some people have a tendency to try to moderate the attitudes and temperaments of EVERYONE around them? In my office, we are all adults, and it isn’t any one’s job to monitor anyone else’s mood. So, this morning, my co worker starts eating something for breakfast in our cube: cereal. I make a light comment about it since we’ve had previous conversation about how she wants to eat something different in the mornings but never remembers to get anything else.

But instead of following in the previous thread of our breakfast food banter, she proceeds to extol the virtues of this Particular cereal and insist that I must taste it–dry. Now if I Wanted cereal, I would have brought some. So, anyway, I say no thank you. Not only have I eaten it before, I KNOW I prefer another kind, and I’ve already eaten my tasty breakfast treat.

Well what do you know but the Mood Moderator, hops into the convo and proceeds to agree on how tasty the cereal is and ooh how I should try it! I did say I had tasted it before didn’t I? I remember, shouldn’t she? But no, now I’m being attitudinal because I said no thank you and I don’t want it.

Really?!

I ABHOR people telling me what I mean, how I feel, or what I think. If I was ticked, its because you’re putting more on it. I even had to blog about it!

For the record: DAMMIT!!!

That is all.

And I’m back.

Given it is a Sunday and with the passing of the BET Awards recently, I figured it’d be great to get on all these videos that supposedly “reveal dark secrets” of the “devil hip hop worshipers.” [trigger gag reflex]

Oh and yes by the way, I realize its July 4, I understand that it’s someone’s independence day…can’t say I care so much though.

Dude. I’m not even the type of person that cares to IM strangers anymore, since I gave up Yahoo! chat rooms in like 2001. But because of the funny Chatroulette Piano Guy, I thought I’d try it out. Twice.

The first time, I’m met with a bunch of guys that are either shirtless, or WORSE. Randomly, I came across regular people, who apparently didn’t wanna ‘chat’ with the likes of me. “Sucks for them,” I thought, and proceeded to whimper in my sleeve.

The second time around, maybe a month or two later, I’m met with a LARGE percentage of the same group of shirtless [or worse] guys, this time more vulgarly displayed than ever before. Gross, man.

What they need to do, is just make a porn version of Chatroulette (if they haven’t saturated the internet with that already) so people can go take their nasty ish elsewhere. I understand the nature of anonymity that the internet has wrought, but come ON, man! Have some integrity & self-respect. There’s ENDLESS PORN on the internet for you to pleasure yourself to, why must you pick on unsuspecting strangers??? This is the gross, molesting-uncle version of photobombing. I am not a fan.

That’s all I have to say about that.

One of the reasons babies cry...

I have a family of neighbors living across from me. These people seem to be the only people in the shared courtyard area of my apartment complex that have an infant. Other families around here have small little spoiled children that are allowed to sing horribly annoying songs at the top of their lungs at any time of the day, or cry at the most inane restrictions and conflicts…but this baby, man. This baby…

I can’t stand the mouth of this babe. (more…)
