Various Rants About Things

In this blog, i will go through a few different things that really bother me. They may not bother you at all, but it's not about you.

Remember a few years ago everyone and their dog wanted their kids to have a tickle me elmo? What was with that? paying hundreads of dollars for a stuffed animal that shakes. Why not just get a regular elmo doll, cut it open, put your cell phone in there set on vibrate, and call it everytime you want it to vibrate.

We as a society are all about short forming things. And normally i agree, why write out television, when you could just put tv. But one short form that's really getting on my nerves is High Def. Please never say "high def". If you must shortform high defenition, pleas just say HD. If ever anyone starts to talk to me about high def...i know instantly that they know nothing of what they are talking about.

Ok, here's another thing/people that really bothers me. PETA. No, i'm not bothered by the accronymn that stands for "People for Ethical Treatment of Animals". The short form is fine, who'd want to say that title more than once. I'm bothered by the members of this group. Their ethical compass is way off. Someone should notify them that their are actually HUMANS who are starving, being tortured, being abused, and killed. Did they not get that memo? Because they are more woried that i'm feeding my dog the cheap dogfood with less protein. And for that i should be thrown in jail. It is sickening to me that they get so much media coverage too. You know how we could cure these people...ok, so cut off every members left hand...then see how much they care about rex's protein level.

Have you ever tried to use a 3-hole punch on like 15 papers at the same time? If you haven't, let me explain to you what happens, because i have vast experiance with such matters. It doesn't work. Then you spend the next 15 minutes trying to get your papers unstuck from the devil machine without ripping the holes. Because we all know that there is nothing worse that a binder with that one paper that just doesn't sit right because some knob ripped the hole. After 15 minutes your papers are still stuck, and you say "to heck with it!" and ripp them all out. They you spend the next 15 minutes using scotch tape to repair the damaged papers. I hate 3- hole punches.

You ever have a progam on your computer freeze? And you have to hit ctrl+alt+delete. Brings up the task manager, and you have to manualy "end task" on that program? Well it happens to me everyday. After stalling your computer for like 5 minutes and it finally shuts down the program. Then a pop-up comes and asks you if you'd like to send this error report. I have a question. Where does this report go? Does anyone actually check these things? Does microsoft really care that my mindsweeper game shut down just as i was going to complete expert!? NO. Then why ask me to send the report?
