Apparently she has been under rug swept.
Alanis Morrisette (are you still alive?) take note. 10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife is not ironic. The other night I called T-mobile on my cell phone to add my wife as another line on my cell phone plan. It took 20 minutes, 3 transfers, 2 calls and my wife intervening to actually make that happen. What is ironic about that? 1. They are a communications company and they weren’t communicating with either each other or me. 2. There was some serious interference on either my side or his, but at one point in the phone call, the Customer Service Agent said, “Wow, the connection on this line is really bad.” 3. I asked this agent if I could give him my home phone number and he could call me back. He said they were only an inbound call center, so unfortunately, he couldn’t call me back. From a call center. Of a cell phone company.
Many people thought this was a picture of him inventing the phone. This was actually his hearing aid.
As you all may know, from either my past posts, or from my bitterness in every aspect of my life, I hate phones. If Marty McFly came to my house and said you can only take 100 trips to the past, future or present, 1 of those trips would be Alexander Gram Bell’s house, circa whenever he was inventing phones and tell him to not invent the phone. Either that or smash any the phone right before he invented it and tell him to just skip to texting or internet. I would tell him of the horrors of a dark, evil and downright scary dungeon-like place called a call center. I would show him pictures of rich, teenage girls with nothing better to do buy talking on phones about the fact that they were too tired from carrying all the $1000 pair of shoes they bought.
“I see Dead People…”
The worst part of the phone is the noise. If you’ve ever seen any horror movie ever, the best way to scare someone completely senseless is to turn the lights down, make it completely silent and then surprise someone with a loud ring from a phone. Add the creepy “voice modification” on the other end and you have yourself a complete heart attack. Noone every died of a heart attack from getting an email or text.
Such noisy (and may I say deadly) shoes.
You know what else makes noise? Other people. People wear shoes with noisemakers(not just clowns), others swish when they walk. Do you know what kind of shoes don’t make noise? Socks. But the worst noise is the one that comes from the big facehole between the nose and the chin. We were given five senses for a reason. The most important sense is the common sense to not to ever use it(the facehole not the common sense). It is always getting people in trouble, and nothing smart has ever come out of it. So just follow the Anti-Nike slogan and just don’t use it. If you have something smart to say, which you don’t, type it or use a pencil and write it down, then throw it away where no one will ever see it. Let my eyes tell you the story. They say: Don’t talk to me. Leave me alone. Go away. No, I don’t want to do that.
Quit encouraging them to make something of themselves.
Other people’s kid’s are noisy. First they cry and babble. Then they try to walk and talk. Soon they are learning how to build things, make things, be constructive, etc. Please parents, don’t encouraging children to grow and learn and experiement. All that will ever do is lead to more noise. That has never been a good thing. This will just give them the confidence to be leaders and builders and creators. In other words, you are just teaching them to make more noise. As you know, leaders just talk and shout and motivate. No one wants to hear more words. Builders are pounding nails, hammering things, pushing knobs and switches and powering things up. More noise. Creators are typing, and molding, talking to a camera and inventing things like phones. Noise. Please just teach your kids not to talk, not to cry and not to be “anything they can dream of being”. Because noise.
Destruction is so close. Only 40 trillion years to go. No need to make your bed.
Please, if you want to do your part of saving the planet(which will die out eventually in 40 trillion years anyways), stop making noise. Don’t wear shoes, stop being another person, definitely don’t be a phone and most importantly don’t be other people’s kids. Stop dreaming of being something in your life. Just be the most noisefree, insignificant person you can be. Be all you can’t be. Recumbentibus!

That’s why I try to avoid politics and such, because I’m not near enough informed about the issues and most I don’t really want to know about.

I avoid talking about politics (and religion) like the plague, just because people will always have such differing opinions (and beliefs) that all it will do is cause needless arguments where no one will listen to anyone else. Everyone is so determined to FIGHT TO THE DEATH for their opinions. I’m one of them. That’s why I’d rather keep mine to myself and just avoid that sort of thing at all costs. I say let people have their opinions and don’t try to make me fight for mine because you sure as s*** won’t change them. And people can’t ever have discussions about it without arguing. There’s a BIG difference between discussing and arguing. I just don’t want to argue opinions because . . . they’re OPINIONS. Everybody is entitled to their own. You know what I mean?
And also, I honestly just don’t care about politics in the slightest. Mostly because they don’t make a difference in anything, or there’s nothing anyone can do to make a difference in them, if that makes sense.

I try not fight about politics or religion either. Politics are boring and I don’t know anything about them anyways, so I wouldn’t be able to contribute anything meaningful. As far as religion, I have mine and I’m committed to it, but I try not to be in people’s face about it. People used to try to fight with me on my mission, but I usually tried to just steer it toward the common things we believed in, instead of fighting about it. Debating it just does no good. You rarely hear of anyone changing their minds about something so huge as religion by arguing about it anyway.
Besides, isn’t the unofficial religion of Kentucky the Wildcats anyways? That is just coconuts. There we go, now we’ve gone full circle.

As for the way politics actually work? Don’t know, totally don’t care…
EXACTLY! This is what I’m saying! You will NOT change anyone’s mind about something like religion by arguing with a person about it! It baffles me why people bother trying.
There’s a huge difference in living your life by example or whatever, and pushing your views on people. I seriously respect people who can have their views and not feel the need to sway others toward them (or attempt it).
HAHA, yes, the unofficial religion of Kentucky is the Wildcats. You get the ones who prefer Louisville, and that’s totally fine (but apparently not the other way around . . .). But you’ll never hear me pushing them on anyone. I just love them.
And you know…I was totally joking about that, but … isn’t that the way it SHOULD be?
People just living their lives, loving what they love, and everybody being happy in the things they want to worship?
(Totally not saying I worship them, but …I’m sure you get the connection.)

Maybe Mean Girls is YOUR all time favorite. Or one of them since you don’t really have favorites (that you know of). I think people should debate important things like was Final Fantasy 7 or Final Fantasy 10 better? But for only discussion sake. Some vidiots get a little riled up about even games. Seems like people should just have discussions in a grown up way. Seems like some kids are better able to deal with differences in opinion than politicians. I even did a post about the bitter debates that were going on a couple years ago and compared them to children not getting their way.
They just need to understand that we should be trying to reach common ground as opposed to fighting about petty differences.

So I finally bought my brothers old one and have been with them ever since. It get the best when I glomed onto my crew with Gears 3. We are trying to get Borderlands 2 going, so I will probably getting it soon. If I get it, I will give you a shout. Though you will probably be busy writing all your triquels.

Husband and I talk about the GameCube sometimes. Lucky we both agree that it was extremely underrated because I would argue for days about that. I WILL say I’ve never touched a Wii, which is kind of a bummer in some ways (that I never have and the whole thing in general).
We talk a lot about how games have changed, and that’s all well and good, but I really think it wouldn’t hurt to have some of them get ‘back to basics’…Such as what Nintendo did with the Wii. Might be fun (the Kinect is), but more often than not, when I’m gaming? I just want to sit and not flail around.
I swore I would never touch an XBox (might’ve said that), but 360 ended up coming out with all the better games. Plus, I LOVE THE GAMERSCORE/achievements. I have issues.
As for FF music, I used to do just that. With 10, I would open it up, go to Mt. Gagazet, and just leave it up. LOVE it. Even still, I love the music there.

The Gamecube did get kind of a bad rap, but because of the small discs and lack of games. I think Nintendo has always had a lack of games because they never keep up with the tech of the other two and try to go their own way. With the Wii it worked, but really started to fade near the end. This Gen they go hosed. I actually like the Gamepad, but they just never seem to get anyone else on board, but their own developers. If they could listen to other developers and their feedback they might be able to compete. I love the XBox for their Xbox live and the fact that they games are more grown up, which I am now.
