The Last Rant

May 29,2001

Hey everyone! I'm back and hopefully by the end of the day I'll have done a lot of work on this site. As you may have noticed, I'm starting a new tradition of having the previous rant on the same page for easier viewing.

Hopefully now everything is stabilized enough for me to do more frequent updates. If you take the time to visit the page, you deserve new material.

Surprisingly, even though I've been busy, there isn't really anything new and exciting to report. By the way, new quote of the day is up. Even if I don't update the main page, I'll probably get a quote up every day or two.

Don't you hate how old people never seem to understand computers? They don't even get confused by hard stuff that even gets me, it's super easy stuff.

At work, this guy works with his computer every day and couldn't figure out what was wrong with it. Turns out the computer wasn't turned on. This is a person who designs precedures to make parts for airplanes. Doesn't make you feel like flying does it?

I'm trying to teach my mom how to e-mail, and it's like trying to teach a 5 year old calculus. Look, I'm no expert, but I know how to e-mail. Maybe some of my readers don't though, cause I haven't got feedback in a while.

It seems as if the angelfire people don't listen to me. The first thing I see logging on to my webshell is an ad for Anna Kournikova photos.

Look, I'm serious, I don't want to see that again. What kind of pathetic people visit these pages? Look, while she is very attractive, she is never going to fuck you. She has her choice of any man she wants, and she's dating hockey players and actors. You don't have a chance. So get your dick out of your hands.

On that sick note, I bid you all adieu. Remember to do what makes you feel good, so long as it doesn't involve anything illegal, or ass-fucking.

May 23, 2001

I'm sorry for the infrequent updates. Life has been busy the past couple of days. I'll still keep the promises I made though.

For you wrestling fanatics, next update should be on the weekend to be conservative. Check each day. Quickly, that was the best Raw I've seen in a long time.

The music page should be done by the end of the month. I just need to add all the lyrics.

Speaking of music, I'm listening to the new Staind album right now. Honestly, I'm glad I picked it up so quickly, because it's the best album I've heard since S&M by Metallica. Honestly, anyone into Limp Bizkit and Incubus should pick it up right away. Even if you're not into those bands, you should still try to sample it. The mix of songs is so great that there is definitely something for everyone.

I also picked up Tantric and Tool. They are great albums as well.

By the way, to everyone I owe e-mail to, don't worry, I'll answer on the weekend. By the way, I have a secondary e-mail address: mccormick_justin@hotmail.com. Feel free to use it at will.

Quick comment: What's up with those crappy commercials with the guy and the girl and the pizza that isn't delivery. Why would you lie about pizza? Why wouldn't they be able to tell it's not delivery, because they both pull the same trick. Besides, the pizza crust tastes like cardboard, it's easy to tell the difference.

By the way, on a quick personal note, I think I've done some growing in the past few weeks. I have decided to make some changes in attitude and demeanor. I really feel a bit more mature now. There's still a lot of work to do, but I definitely feel better about myself. There's no more late-night regrettals. Doesn't mean I still won't be silly sometimes, as the last paragraph proves.

Sorry for boring you guys with that. It's just I kind of feel proud of myself. Especially with the patience I've shown at work. But that's a story for next time, as it's getting late.

A quick thanks to everyone who's reading the page regularly, and gives me their feedback. I'm here to entertain you guys, and I'm willing to put into effect any reasonable suggestion. I feel honoured that you guys take the time out of your busy day to read what I say and send me feedback. It's very flattering.

Until next time, remember, be yourself and stay true to your beliefs. There's only 1 person's opinion that really counts, and that's your own. If you can look at yourself in the mirror in the morning, you're doing all right. Later y'all

May 20, 2001

Well, like I said, two weeks later.

Sorry for the delay, but I've been pretty busy. This is actually the first time in a while that I've had time to do stuff.

I know one thing I haven't been doing, and that's writing an I.S. paper. I was feeling guilty, but not anymore.

As far as other matters, well, the problem is that I have been busy with a bunch of shit that's hardly interesting, or any of my readers' business.

I did pick up the new Tool album. It's awesome, and fans of the band should pick it up. I'm planning to give in and pick up Linkin Park. "Crawling" is in my head all the time. Also, I'm planning to pick up Tantric, Staind, and the new Sepultura.

Actually, the Staind album is going to be the first album in a long time that I pick up on the rele

May 6, 2001

Well, sorry. I know it's been a while since I updated.

I would like to say that I've been busy, but I really haven't. I've just been pretty lazy.

Since I know my adoring public can't wait to hear from me, I'll get right to it. Keep in mind, I'm writing this late at night, so it won't be my best.

Mel sent in some quotes, and I'll add those tomorrow. Keep the feedback coming!

I don't like to put personal stuff up here anymore, but I'm putting this cause I need to know something.

Is it normal for your ear to block up so you can only hear a bit from it? It's happened to me 3 times in the last 6 months.

Usually, it goes away after a day or two, but now it's stayed since Friday. Do I have something wrong with me?

You know it's pretty bad when you're lying down on your right side and you haven't been able to tell that your mother has been talking to you for the last 5 minutes.

Tell me what you think.

Also, I want to talk about driving. What is with all the assholes on the road nowadays?

The other day, I'm going to the bank and I see this dipshit in a driving school car. Turns out he's the instructor, just going to the bank.

Now, get this, he enters through a lane meant for exiting, talking on the cell phone, eating a sandwich.

And he gives my dad the finger for having the audacity to do something legal, such as using the right lane.

Remember, he could be teaching someone you know.

Really encouraging for me, since I'm going to get my license now that I have the money.

Then, there's the story of the Detroit Red Wing whose car was scrapped.

The real funny part is that he was gassing up at the time.

A 70 year old woman swerved off the road and hit his car. If I'm right, that caused a fire as well.

It's so nice to know that we have such strict standards for drivers.

Next thing you know, they'll start giving licenses to blind people and people without arms or legs.

Since they have such strict rules for young people, maybe they should start thinking of regulating other people more harshly.

My proposal is that no one over 60 drive. Also, you should have to pass a driving test every 3 years for men, and every year for women.

I'm sorry to say that, but the fact remains that most women don't know how to drive.

Sad but true.

If it makes you feel any better, we men don't clean very well.

That's why we leave it to you.

Oh well, I can see the hate mail from here.

Nothing I'm not used to.

On that happy, chauvanist thought I leave you, my adoring public, until tomorrow.

Or 2 weeks from now, depending how I feel.

April 25, 2001

Well, I'm back. I mostly have some housekeeping stuff to do. Then, we'll see if I have time for a social commentary.

First, the feedback has started better than expected. If you haven't checked out that section, there is a letter from Phil and various things from Maria.

Actually, most of them are just e-mails sent to everyone, but I'm stealing them and calling them feedback.

Also, Maria provided quotes for the quote of the day section.

I decided to add them because Anthony has been lazy and hasn't updated.

Watch out Anthony, or you'll lose your position.

Just to be clear, feedback doesn't have to be a long thought out paragraph.

If you're checking out my page, just send me a quick hello.

I want to know who my audience is.

Now, for the social commentary.

I was reading on the metro newsboard that the parents of the victims of the school shooting in Colombine are suing producers of violent video games and violent movies for 5 billion dollars.

What the fuck is wrong with them?

Honestly, I don't think that violence in the media killed your children.

I think psychotic people with access to guns killed your kids.

Honestly, if watching violence made people kill, I would have killed a million people by now.

Shit, Bruno would have killed everyone.

I was raised on G.I. Joe and pro wrestling, and not only have I never killed anyone, I've never even been in a fight.

Honestly, I'm fed up of all this violence in the media crap, especially from those ignorant Americans.

Maybe people should concentrate on how easy it is to get guns in that fucking country.

I think the prerequisites are if you have index fingers and if you can breathe.

And both of those are optional.

Come on, a six year old living in Harlem can go out on the street and buy a revolver for 20 dollars and a bag of crack.

Hell, in Texas, they learn how to shoot a gun before they can walk or talk.

In fact, I think it's illegal to be unarmed in that state. Hell, the punishment's probably the death penalty.

And don't give me that guns don't kill people, people kill people crap.

When's the last time you saw someone kill a group of people with knives.

Or a bum kill someone with a rusty spoon.

Now there is some logic to that argument.

I mean, if you want someone dead, you will find a way to do it.

In that case, I think guns should all be taken away anyway.

It'll breed creativity. And I'm for anything that promotes originality and intelligence.

As for the people that like their guns to kill animals, I'm reminded of a quote from Titus, when the father is talking to Titus as a little boy.

"It's o.k. son, we don't need guns because we have penises."

Nevermind, doesn't it sound like these parents are trying to benefit from their children's death?

"Oh well, our only son is dead. But we've got millions of dollars. Good thing he died, the house was going to be repossesed. And I never liked that snot-nosed kid anyway."

Anyway, that's just my opinion.

I look forward to your comments.

April 18,2001

Since I usually don't update this quickly, (at least, recently) feel free to check out the rant from April 16 at the archive.

Now that rant has proven something to me. That many readers do not e-mail me. I mean come on, the address is right there. The last rant should have got me some hate mail.

This means one of 2 things.

First, my readers are too stupid to use e-mail.

Or, that there is no reason for you guys to write in.

But wait... Now There Is.

I have added a new section: viewer feedback. Send me an e-mail, and I will print the best ones in that section. Now I want to see mail from everyone, including my friends.

Actually you know what, if you guys start sending me e-mail, I will provide links to your pages free of charge.

How generous of me.

I've also decided what to do about Quote of the Day. Anthony, you get your wish. You now run that section. Send me an e-mail with quotes as often as you want. I'll print them. Now leave me alone.

By the way, there's one condition. Not all the quotes can be yours. I'll allow some, but quote other people too.

That reminds me. If anyone out there would like to have their own section on the page, they are more than welcome. I would like other contributors with good ideas. Then, maybe this site can be more entertaining.

Well, with the housekeeping out of the way, it's time for me to ponder something. I was reading this book, and all of a sudden, the book says that masterbation improves self-confidence. What was really weird was that this was a book about free trade.

Anyway, what a bunch of bullshit. I mean, to me it improves depression.

The fact that you're masterbating means that you want to have sex, but you weren't able to find anyone that was willing to do it with you. So, you had to resort to one of your hands.

And I tell you, when you're sitting on the can with your cock in your hand, you don't feel that great about yourself.

Especially not if you forgot to lock the door and someone comes in.

And you really don't feel good if they point and laugh.

Anyway, that's all I have to say, so I look forward to your feedback.

Oh no! I just realized what I've done. Oh well, I look forward to hearing from the whack crew.

April 16, 2001

That's right, I updated. Everyone can get off my back now.

Seriously, I've been busy, so I'm sorry. After this week, I should be able to update a bit more, since most of my work will be done.

The bad part is that I haven't gotten any work done on my music page. I'm still optimistic that I'll be done by the summer, but don't count on it.

Quote of the day may be finished. Often, so much happens in a day that I forget some good stuff. Plus, it's been creating major conflict. Tell me what you think.

The wrestling page is something I hope to improve soon too. I know there are a few of you out there that enjoy it, and I promise to have that running smoothly by June too.

I guess I have to get working then.

Anyhoo, my life's been pretty much the same. An o.k. weekend. Watched a movie with Phil, Jeff and Sarah, went to a baseball game and went to Bruno's. It was fun.

The worst part about all this school work is that I've been drained of all my creative juices. I cannot think of anything funny anymore.

You know, I want someone to tell me what bunnies and chocolate have to do with Easter. When Christ came back after death, did he get pissed, kill a rabbit, dip it in chocolate and eat it? Somehow, I doubt it, since Christ is a fictional character, but hey.

Maybe it's in the Bible, another good work of fiction.

I can see it now: Psalm 9:14: And God commanded that all should eat bunnies out of chocolate to represent His son's coming back to life. And all those that didn't should be anally violated at the Gates of Hell.

Well, I think I'm going to Hell now. Or maybe not. Since God doesn't exist, that means Hell doesn't exist either.

The only thing I have to worry about is those damn religious nuts killing me because they don't want their lies being exposed.

Anyway, I gotta go. Hey, what's that flash of light? I think I'll go check it out. See ya soon , if I don't get struck down by lightning.

April 8, 2001

I have nothing witty or funny to say, but I'm updating anyway. Some would probably argue that I have never said anything witty or funny. They're probably right too.

Anyway, the weekend was fun. Sarah's was a blast, as I got to see everyone drunk and stoned through sober eyes. I think I enjoy being the responsible one more. I'm fed up of being a pathetic drunk. That being said, I'm bringing booze to school tommorrow. That's just to hide it from my parents though.

Saturday, I went to a dart tournament. The name of the town escapes me now. Another reason to not be an alcoholic. Anyway, I finshed 7th, one game away from 6th, which actually paid money. Oh well, at least I got experience. I actually finished ahead of a couple of good players, so it wasn't all that bad.

Besides that, nothing much happened. However, I have only slept 7 hours all weekend, so I'm not in a happy mood. I'm in the middle of my after 11 depression, making me even worse. My god! I sound like a woman.

As I sit here listening to music, I have to wonder something. How come depressing music cheers me up? There's nothing like a somber heavy metal ballad to brighten my day. That reminds me, my music page is still being worked on. Hopefully, it'll all be up and running by June, when I get some more free time.

Speaking of updating, I'll update quote of the day Monday or Tuesday, so you'll have a reason to drop by.

Until I remember the name of that fucking town, this page won't be updated.

April 5, 2001

Holy crap! I updated. Wow! I've been pretty lazy the last few days, and I apologize for it. I know my adoring public needs to hear me speak.

Right now, I'm not in the best of moods, as I'm tired and Bruno just yelled at me. Then again, I was bothering him when I was reading....

Anyway, it's been an entertaining couple of days. Anthony snorted hot pepper for 4 dollars, so I guess that proves something about him. The fact that he blew the money on slot machines proves something too, I guess. If I wasn't so tired, I'd know what that is.

In other big news, Sarah's having a party tommorrow, so I'll have an update on that shortly. All I can say is, "All right! Another house to yack in!"

Also, I found out Kalen is having a party during Easter. Guys, I say that we crash it. It'll be like the old times.

Now, another thing that's annoying me is everyone bothering me about quote of the day. I swear, if another person says that I should update, or that something they said should be a quote, I'm taking it off the page. I'm pissed about this.

Now, I can't think of anything creative,witty and funny, so I'll just go. Until my brain functions, this page won't be updated.

April 1, 2001

I had promised a rant about christians and abortion, but I'm not in the mood to rant. I'm way too fucking tired.

Anyway, I haven't updated as much as I would like recently, because school and life keep getting in the way. It's probably going to be like this for another month, so get used to it. Soon, school will be over and hopefully I'll have time to make this webpage exactly how I like it. There's still some work to do.

The weekend wasn't entertaining at all, except for watching Wrestlemania, which is the highlight of the year for wrestling fans. Today, though some stuff happened. Sarah bit me again, as I went through her lunch. The look on Anthony's face was hilarious, as he was probably shocked by how much of psycho his girlfriend can be at times. I think he was happy that he had just bought her a rose.

Also, I got my university acceptance today. So, for the next four years, I get to slave away in a place with a different name. Honestly, I don't know if you have noticed by school is like a cattle show. First, the students are herded around from class to class. Then, we go about judging who is more worthy through marks. It's like comparing the quality of beef.

I think the whole thing that annoys me is that in school, half the stuff you do is useless. Now, you do learn some valuable stuff knowledge-wise and life-wise, but some stuff is just useless. It's all memory work. Students forget half the stuff 20 minutes after the test because they just study the night before. They don't let knowledge creep in. I know because I do this. A great example for me is math. Last semester, I went to only 8 classes, but I got 86 because I studied for 9 hours before the final. Today though, people were asking me questions, and I had no fucking clue what to do. It made me think about how I wasted my time and how the school system should be changed to prevent that.

Look at that! Where did that come from? I thought I was too tired. Guess not. Well, I'll be back whenever.

Until I find something funny to talk about, this page won't be updated.
