Daily Rants
OK, this is my section of not-so-daily rants. Whenever something new pisses me off, I'll come here to vent about it if it's miniscule and unimportant enough not to merit a page to itself.

Butch, whoever you are, you're a total idiot. Butch is a visitor who, not liking my page, decided he should sign my guestbook and call me a "fucked up motherfucker." Seeing as how I have a child, and still have sex with my wife, I AM a motherfucker, but that still doesn't give him any grounds to call me such. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and I encourage you to share them with me; if you hate me or my page, feel free to express yourself however you like. You won't hurt my feelings; I believe that the greater majority of people are stupid, that they lead totally empty, hopeless lives that will never be filled with any sort of enlightenment. In other words, most people are losers as far as I'm concerned, ignorant losers. That said, there are still quite a few of you out there who are intelligent, articulate, and not completely hopeless. Unfortunately, I don't feel Butch falls into this category. My only request of you, my readers, is that if you don't like what you see and decide to email me or sign my guestbook and tell me, is that you have the cajones (metaphorically, ladies) to include your email address so that I can respond to you and/or enter intelligent conversation with you about whatever it is that you don't like about me, who happens to be a complete stranger. If you don't have the cajones to back yourself up with a little bravery by providing a way to respond, I don't feel that anything you have to say has any merit, that your opinions are merely impotent rants with no basis in fact. If you want to know why I vent about what I vent about, my email address is at the bottom of every one of my pages, and I encourage you to learn what reasons, beyond those that I print, I have for hating Christmas, God, Alanis Morrissette, and/or you.

In the recent past I've been dealing with the author of one select piece of hate mail directed at me because of the content of this page. As always, I welcome everybody's responses, if you disagree with me as well as if you agree. Keep in mind, however, that I am likely to respond to you because I enjoy discussing this page with both its fans and its critics. If you write and personally attack ME rather than my page, I WILL defend myself, so keep that in mind when you write. Don't waste time calling people "chumps, cretins," or more colorful names, it just detracts from the quality of our discussions and is an almost surefired way to get me to list you here among the other stupid people. One last time: if you don't like the page, feel free to write me; I'd love to discuss it with you intelligently. If you're not mature enough to handle that, just throw your insults in my guestbook, because I don't have the time for childish games.
On a final note, I want to thank all of the readers who have been moved by this page, who have thanked me for my frankness and honesty towards the subject matter, those of you who have shared your own personal stories with me because you've felt a kindred spirit in the life I share with this page. I do this page for two reasons: it gives me a venue to vent about the things that anger me, and it has actually helped a great deal of you to read how others have shared your crappy experiences.
Thanks again everybody.

I'm getting pissed at a lot of little things lately. I am especially annoyed with the American press. Ayear ago we were prouncing around, saying how wondeful we were because we didn't make huge issues out of our leaders' personal lives, and would therefore never have a "tragedy" like that of Princess Di. Of course, what has our press been involved in for the past ten months? It wouldn't be an obsession with our nation's leader and his prevalence for getting hummers from interns in the oval office. Who really gives a damn (if you do, I think you're a total loser; and if my opinion of you matters that much to you, you're even more of a total loser)? I'm more concerned with the good he's done our economy, but that doesn't seem to matter anymore. And of course he lied, and of course that's against the law; but please, can you really expect a married man to come clean to the world that he was having an affair with his intern? Martin Luther King was an adulterer, and you don't see folks condemning doctor King for his infedelity (rightly so, I might add). Hell, president Kennedy shared his girlfriend with his brother, and Teddy took his for a one-way swim. Why are they so popular still? Why is Teddy still a senator? It's because Paula and Monica are dogs, because ole slick willy got himself some puppies instead of a model. I'd lie about it too.
I really believe it's time we had a revolution against our media: boycott the sensationalist news papers and television programs, put these journalists at the bottom of our caste system, dump our refuse on their lawns instead of in landfills, trade them for the people of Tibet, anything to make our journalism sincere again.
Same day
Tim Burton. Actually, read my column in the October 98 issue of the Aardvark for this one.

OK this isn't a rant, but if you have a problem with it, tough, it's my page, I get to break my rules if I want.
It's raining today!! Yay!! I love the cold weather so much better than the oppressively hot weather. It's fall, it's fall, it's fall! yay!
A slight rant: my brother-in-law's birthday was yesterday and the wife called him, for more info see the inlaws page.
I'm also a little pissed that oatmeal doesn't taste better.

I just realized something I think is really cool irony. The badguy, everything evil, is portrayed in black all of the time, while the goodguys wear white. I just think it's really interesting considering that priests, ministers, etc. wear black uniforms and suits all the time. Makes you wonder, doesn't it?

I hate web-based email. Yes, it's more convenient to be able to use your email from computers other than your own; for that they're a plus. Otherwise, they suck. First, my account at Mailcity bugs me. I can't email some of my friends because their ISPs view mailcity as a breeding ground for spam, and thus MC is blocked from them. On top of that, they also have a rule limiting the amount of messages you can send in a day. I actually have a legitamate need to email more messages on a daily basis than they allow, and so I was forced to endure yet another web email accout, this time with Hotmail.
Usually, I've had no problems with hotmail. Bill gates' people own it, and the little nerd knows what he's doing. Lately, however, Hotmail has been damn slow -- very, VERY irritating. Then today, it dumps all my files and emails from my folders and address book. Now, I'm waiting for them to finish a system upgrade so I can march through the destruction that's left of my files...ugh.

I still can't get into my email. It's really pissing me off.

I'm rather irritated today. It's Ash Wednesday, go figure.

Again, my stupid email is down. For more than 24 hours now, I've had to deal with this crap again. And this is so penny-ante, but when it happens it's so damn irritating, I struggle to get mad at something else; something new to vent about. I know this is all God's fault...
Gee, I wonder if that'll get me any Christian hate mail...

Well, regular visitors will have noticed I've been away for a while now. Unfortunately there just aren't enough damn hours in the day, so sadly, I don't get around to venting here for y'all, and myself, as much as I used to. There's been LOTS to piss me off though...
Take Y2K for instance. Granted, it's already been bitched about ad nauseum, but what do I care? Ski to the next paragraph if you don't want to read my thought on it... Talk about a flippin' non-event! Even the third world countries weren't fazed by the coming of the damn millinneum. Where's the fun in that? Not one crazed riot, power breakdown, nothing! Man, I was so very sad how much of a non-event it was. Truly. Couldn't at least one pilot have done me and the world a favor, gone crazy and crashed a jet right in the middle of Time's Square? Now THAT would have been a neat millinneum.
Hop on over to the inlaws, they've raised my ire again...
Oh, and doctors. I am so damn sick of my flippin' doctor. Every time I go to see the guy about a health problem, he says it's due to stress. If I had the ebola virus, he'd blame it on stress. Where'd the guy get his liscence? Of course I'm flippin' stressed! I'm a college student with two kids, who the hell wouldn't be? But SHEESH, it isn't the know-all and end-all of my health problems. True story -- blood was coming out of my ass. I'm freaking that it's from cancer or some crap like that, he doesn't even order a test to check it, and diagnoses it as caused by, you guessed it, stress. If I never post here again, you'll know it's because I died of stress.

Man, I am so peeved with Marvel Comics right now. As any of y'all who've read my comics rant know, I hate them for offing my favorite character -- a chica named Magik.
Low and behold, what do I perceive in my monthly Previews? Solicits for a mini that brings Magik back into the Marvel U. Hot damn! I just HAD to buy this. So I forked over the $15 for the mini (minus my 25% discount) and read with great expectations.
They did NOT give me my long lost Magik back. The bastards. Amanda Sefton is the new Magik. Amanda Freaking Sefton! A second string, almost never seen character for over twenty years, and SHE'S the carrot they dangled in front of my pocket book. Oh for shame. For shame.
Then there's this guy Dave that I work with (not myself, there's two of us; dolts). Nice enough guy, fun to talk to. Could he show up for work on time just once? I think he forgets that other people have to wait around on him and would rather be home asleep.

For the past two days my guestbook has gone missing. I don't know whether it's server error, or whether the server decided to dump me without telling, but it bugs the piss out of me. Regardless, I'm not about to create a brand new guestbook, so if you've something you're dying to tell me, e-mail it to me or forever hold your piece.

Cowboy is the COOLEST rock band. I have their first CD, "explosion and collapse" playing 24/7 right now. It freaking rocks!
