look both ways after you cross.

i just woke up.  when i first wake up, i tend to stumble towards the computer.  because at that moment, i have no appetite yet.  i don’t usually have to piss until an hour or so after i’ve woken up.  unlike most people that need to go right away.  i no longer smoke (it’s been over a year) so i have no habitual need to light up a cigarette and i don’t drink caffeine so i also have no need to fix/grab that cup of coffee…so my feet drag me to the computer to check my email, my myspace, my youtube & now my wordpress accounts.

today’s or tonight’s blog, i guess you could say (my waking up was from a nap…not a complete night’s sleep) is one that i’ve done on myspace before but this isn’t myspace so i’m going to do it here…and the theme: what’s pissing you off?  or since i begin…what’s pissing me off?  it’s generally stuff of very little consequence…just everyday annoyances…the minor shit that gets to me when i really shouldn’t allow it to.  the trivial.  though, if it’s enough to really get to me…how trivial can it be?  no…no, it’s still trivial.  here’s the list.  i welcome you all to submit what’s bothering you…be it a coworker, a family member, a boyfriend, something in the news or whatever you need to vent about.  i may not have any advice to give you regarding it but i’ve found (from comments given) that it’s a great release.  and we all need to let that bottled up shit sizzle out.

1. Fake Vegetarians. Now, i’m not going to say that there aren’t real vegetarians out there.  of course there are.  i’m talking about those little teenagers that claim to be vegetarians simply to fit in with the crowd.  and that also doesn’t mean that there aren’t teenage vegetarians…i just…i don’t know…you can just tell which ones aren’t and which ones are.  like gaydar…it’s meatdar.  you can tell who really eats it and who really doesn’t.  if your closet smells like a hamburger in the middle of the night…come out of the closet (?) with pride…ketchup smeared around your lips…pickle string that needs to be flossed…and those little bits of meat that you’ll be picking out of your back teeth for days.  it’s ok to eat meat.  just as it’s ok not to.

2. Cat Makeup.Cat Makeup for all of you girls out there that did this during halloween…shame on you.  also, i have no idea who the chick in this picture is.  i just grabbed it off of flickr.com.  if it’s you and you want it down, contact me.  i’d be embarrassed about having it up as well.  it’s like all of the girls that dress up as a nurse or maid or some stupid fairy…when you see that your friend (and all of her sorority sisters) is going as the exact same thing…that may be a sign to change your costume and harm yourself (just slightly, though) for coming up with such a stupid idea.

3. Sore Losers. for those of you that voted mccain/palin.  i’m sure you know by now that your candidate lost.  unless you created characters with their likenesses on “second life” and are currently running your own little society with mr. & mrs. maverick behind a kingdom of diamond encrusted pillars ruling all.  for those of you in the “real” world…get over it.  barack obama will officially become our president (for those of you that are in the united states that read this) in january and you know what?  we have to accept it.  so far (even though it’s only been a couple of days) he hasn’t disappointed me.  but then again he hasn’t done much yet.  that the public is aware of anyway.  when/if he warrants shit talking, finger pointing and/or tacky novelty shirts to be made and worn of him…well, i will gladly oblige to do so.  until then… he is your president elect and deserves your respect.  he’s not bush…from what i can tell, he really does plan on doing things for us.  not against us.

4. Chicks With Chihuahuas. does this one really need an explanation?  i mean, yeah…i guess they’re cute dogs but c’mon.  you look fucking stupid walking the streets with one of them in tow.

i’m eager to hear what’s bothering all of you.  if you disagree with something i’ve said…please tell me.  it’s nice to hear from those that feel the same as i do…but it’s equally nice to hear from those that don’t.  it’s a melting pot of a world (not just of ethnicities but of morals and opinions).  vent away…

i leave you with a little sufjan…



when tearing a band-aid crosses the line (thigmacupidus)

Stephen Merchantlast night’s episode of “the office” was one of the best so far this year.  although, i’m sort of biased since it was directed by stephen merchant (co-creator of “the office”).  i hadn’t seen anything new from him…be it acting, writing or directing since “extras” ended.  so it was nice to see his name on the screen again.

the transition from myspace to wordpress is going all right…but it could be better.  so far only a hundred or so views here…but getting people to come from a site they’re used to is difficult.  so i understand and i’m not too bummed out by it.  it’ll pick up, i’m sure.  plus i’ve already met some interesting people on here (via tags) in the two days i’ve been a member of this site.

i watched barack obama’s news conference on msnbc today.  his first since becoming elected.  the guy had me laughing my ass off.  the whole nancy reagan statement caught me off guard.  i loved it.  his plans for the economy sound solid…although, they haven’t changed since his campaign so it’s just stuff i’ve heard before.  so there wasn’t much in there that got me too excited.  overall it was a great conference.  he only skipped one question asked by a press agent (though, i realize it was for security reasons) & other than saying “um” numerous times (which i’m guilty of doing during interviews too, so…it’s not that big of a deal), there wasn’t anything that i saw to complain about.  a swell 19 minutes with the president elect.

there isn’t much else to say tonight.  it snowed a bit earlier but not enough to stick.  i watched the 3rd of episode of “scream queens” which features one of the hottest women in film & television, lindsay felton and one of the worst actors i’ve ever seen in my life, michelle galdenzi.  if this chick has a career outside of a “surreal life” season (which i’m sure is to come), i’ll be amazed.  felton, on the other hand, has been solid this whole season…flawless in all of her “challenges.”  she is the only reason i’m even watching this show.  if she goes anytime soon (which i don’t find likely)…so will my viewings of the program.

have a good night everyone.

i leave you with this…
