I feel like ranting. Unfortunately technology hasn’t come up with a device that allows us to project our thoughts onto some visual object, such as a PC or a piece of paper. That’d make life so much easier than typing or writing. Nevermind.

Christmas

Christmas isn’t a time of year that I really enjoy or look forwards to anymore, and I really don’t know why that is. I think I stopped enjoying it 2 years ago.

Christmas always used to be a time of year when everyone got really excited and tense, counting down the days until christmas day. I used to spend christmas eve and day at my grandparent’s house, but since they moved out we’ve been staying at home, and just going there for dinner. That’s made things very different. Along with various different situations in the house which have changed things. It’s funny how things can change like that.

2 years ago I really wasn’t bothered about the build up to christmas. The English start building upto it in October, or something bloody stupid like that. You find that people are rushing around like idiots trying to get everything ready, spending money they can’t afford to spend to satisfy other people.

Perhaps it’s just a kid thing? You enjoy it when you’re a kid, and you enjoy it when you have kids… the rest of the time it’s just an expensive day. I don’t know, but I think it’s bollocks.

Well, instead of carrying this part on I’ll just copy and paste something I said to a friend, about christmas.

“It’s a bullshit communist time of the year where everyone gets themselves into more financial problems due to people wanting loads of bullshit presents. The country builds up to it in fucking April and puts all these lame fucking lights up, uses it as an excuse to play music that makes my fucking ears bleed and then parents worry all the fucking time about pleasing their god damn children, whilst trying to keep to the morals of “Oh but christmas is about being with your family”.”

Apparently I ruined her christmas by saying that. Aren’t I nice?

Wardrobes

Have you ever looked at the pile of folded laundry, and the wardrobe, and thought “Why the fuck do I do this?”. I have, far too often.

I honestly don’t see the point in wardrobes. Okay, so they keep creases out of things which crease easily, such as shirts. And you can see your clothes easily, but otherwise, they seem pretty pointless. You’ve got all that space heightwise that isn’t really used, so they’re a waste of space. Then you’ve got to mess around with coat-hangers. Those things are bloody annoying and pointless too.

I’ve decided that as soon as I get paid I’m burning my wardrobe and getting a chest of drawers. Then whoever does the laundry will probably put the clean washing on coat-hangers out of spite.

Numeric Ordering

Have you ever noticed how Windows orders things with numbers in a weird numeric order. Like 1, 11, 2, 22, 3, 33, etc. I mean, how annoying is that? If you want anything to go in the correct order, you have to put 0s infront of everything.

Dogs

So I had a conversation about dogs with someone today. Now, I’ve had a couple of dogs, and I’ve also had (currently have) cats. Dogs are cute when they are puppies; not many people would disagree with that. But when they grow up they’re so bloody annoying, and stupid.

Contrary to popular belief dogs actually are stupid. They’re just easy to train, unlike cats. Dogs have been trained by people to do the stuff Humans can’t or won’t do for years, thefore, through breeding, it has been developed into their genes.

Cats are far better though:

Aside from not having to take them for a walk, or taking them outside for their bathroom business. You don’t have to tell them to shut up because they’re barking at the car that just drove past your house. You don’t have to hide your clothes so that they don’t chew them up. The majority of cats are clever, cunning, proud and cute creatures, from birth to death.

Dogs are cute for 3 months, then they get loud, stupid and smelly.

Dogs might be easier to train. That’s only because Cats have the attitude of “Hey man! If you wanted the stick so bad, why did you throw it? I’m not getting it for you. I’m busy! Get your own bloody stick.”.

So yeah, cats > dogs.

School Children

Ever spoken to someone from school who is having a bit of a hard time with their friends? Not bullying, just general fall-outs? They seem to think that they’re the only person in the world that this happens to, and they get all worried and scared. Talking about how they’re going to kick the other person’s ass if they hug their boyfriend again, or whatever.

Man, school children are so bloody annoying. The way violence is fluid throughout the majority of teenagers. I wish some of them would just chill out, sit back and acknowledge a situation. study what’s going on and then come out with a response. Life would be so much better if they did.

Ah, they’ll never learn though. Things will never change. There will always be pathetic school kid violence. I guess school children being annoying is just inevitable.

Infact, I remember one group of guys from school that were two years above me. They used to hit me and try and take my money for cigarettes, or whatever. They live near me, and I still see them now. They’re nearly 20 and they’re still ugly, spotty bastards. And they still hit me, if I happen to be within reach. Otheriwse they’ll just throw something at me. That’s at 20 years of age. I mean, fuck! Seriously.

Media

Ever noticed how someone will have a suspision, or an opinion of something they’re not very knowledgable about. Say, parents, for example. They’ll have this opinion, and then something will appear on the news about it. The news also not knowing much about the situation, however, because it’s the mighty news, it has to be true, right?

I played World of Warcraft. Infact, I still do, just not as much anymore because it’s become quite dull and I’ve had other things to do. However, a few weeks back there was something on the news about it and I could just see my parents glancing over at me when it was mentioned, as if all of their opinions and suspisions had been confirmed.

Man, I bloody hate the news and the way it gives people the feeling of confirmation when both parties are entirely wrong about things.

They just emphasise the bad, because the bad sticks a lot harder than the good does.

Ask anyone to tell you a good thing that happened in the 2001, and I bet they’ll stutter and think for a while. Ask anyone to tell you a bad thing that happened in 2001 and the World Trade Center’ll be there straight away.

End

Well, that was quite the rant. I’d like to say I feel better now, but I don’t. I had nothing comical to say, so I thought I’d spew some stuff that was on my mind. That’s the point of a blog, right? If you want to check out my blogging idol, check out Maddox.
