| I AM OUTTA HERE!!!! Click here to go to my new and improved site. "OMG RACHEL HI!!!!! LAWL!!!1111!!11!11 WHY R U POSTING ANOTHER BLOGGY THING CUZ U KNO UR RANTS R LIKE SOOOO IN THE OTHER THING && STUFF..." Welcome to a section called TOPICAL RANTS. In other words, when I feel a random rant coming on, I'll post it here. It will be a lot less organized and it will probably not make as much sense as my other rants, but whatever. Yup, still working on the mic deal, but until I get the fucking thing fixed, I'm gonna just...take some steam out on here. TOPICAL RANT 1FIRST OFF, I'm sick and fucking tired of hearing about CHRIS CROCKER!! "LEAAAVVEEE BRITNEY ALLONNNEEE!!!!" It's OBVIOUS this stupid motherfucker created this video to get attention, and now he's gonna have his own show! Well, from what I hear from Jay Leno, anyways. I think it's fucking RETARDED and POINTLESS to give some stupidassed boy WHO LOOKS LIKE A GIRL and who CRIES FOR NO REASON HIS OWN DAMN SHOW! Are these people fucking stupid?! If he can have his own show for crying, I DEMAND MY OWN SHOW SO I CAN RANT AND YELL AT PEOPLE.WOW DO I FEEL BETTER! Secondly, I AM SICK AND TIRED OF OUR LOCAL FUCKING HOSPITAL. I swear to God, they don't pay ANY attention to their patients! While one of my relatives was in that God-forsaken vicinity getting a blood transfusion (don't ask), the beepy thingy went off to alert the doctor(s) that it was time to change his blood pint package whatthefuckever thing. IT TOOK THOSE STUPID FUCKS THIRTY FIVE MINUTES TO CHANGE THE DAMN THING. I SWEAR TO GOD, I'M NOT MAKING THIS UP. GLAD HE WASN'T DYING! AND DON'T GET ME FUCKING STARTED ON THE ER. It's NOT an ER!! It's a room that should be called "COME HERE IF YOU HAVE LIKE FOREVER TO SIT ON YOUR FAT ASS AND WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO WAIT ON YOU! HEY, GO OUT AND GET A MCFLURRY FROM MCDONALDS! YOU HAVE TIME! GOD KNOWS YOU HAVE TIME TO GET A MCFLURRY FROM MCDONALDS BEFORE WE'LL WAIT ON YOU! SUCKERSSS! OH BRING US BACK SOME GRUB, YO! YOW!" The fucking ER needs to be BURNED DOWN and RECONSTRUCTED. FUCKING MORONS! SO ANYWAYS, after they finally DID come and change his blood thing, my mom was all "Are you guys short-staffed or something?" So glad she asked. But guess what? The dumb fucker who's supposedly a doctor answered with: "...I dunno how to answer that..." Kay first off, HIS HAIR LOOKED LIKE 7 OR 8 FRESH DILDOS FROM FLORIDA STACKED ON TOP OF ONE ANOTHER. AND HIS EYES WERE ALL...DEVILISH. And he's a fucking moron for not telling the truth! "NO, WE'RE NOT SHORT-STAFFED, BUT IT'S DONUT DAY!!" Seriously, a HERD of doctors were standing out in the hallway EATING DONUTS! THEY COULD HEAR THE BEEPER THINGY GOING OFF! FUCK, A *DEAF* PERSON COULD! But nooo, they were too busy CLOGGING their ARTERIES with BAGELS or DONUTS or WHATEVER. OHHHH, then a fucking SECURITY GUY walked by and guess what?! HE WAS EATING, TOO! Are these people fucking INSANE?! Yeah, everyone deserves a break, BUT NOT THE WHOLE FUCKING BUILDING AT ONCE! FUCKING BASTARDS! MOVING ON, what the fuck is up with those black panther people?! It's an organization supposedly fighting for black peoples' rights. RACIST MUCH? THOUGHT SO. They keep bringing up about how they were sooo mistreated in the 18-1900's by us white folks. Well I have a question. WHAT THE FUCK DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH **ME**?! I WASN'T EVEN ALIVE BACK THEN! IF YOU'RE GOING TO HATE WHITE PEOPLE BECAUSE OF WHAT WE DID TO YOU 9573897923 YEARS AGO, THEN WE AS AMERICANS SHOULD DESPISE ALL BRITISH PEOPLE TOO, RIGHT?! By the same token! You know, cause they wouldn't give us our INDEPENDENCE?! SEE HOW THAT'S JUST SO FUCKING RETARDED BEYOND WORDS?! SERIOUSLY, GET A LIFE. NOT EVERYONE IS OUT TO GET YOU.Alright. I'm done. And I'm a lot happier. =) | | |
| Hello there, folks. I haven't updated in a while. Know why? Family issues. Tons and tons of family issues. Oh joy. So, seeing as a shit load of family issues have taken over my life, I have not been able to work on my idea or whatever for this site. What's that idea? I was going to create some audio rants that would contain rants (obviously), opinions, your thoughts, and even a little music. Blah blah blah. The only thing holding me back is my microphone on my old computer. It works, but there's this fuckin' annoying crackly noise that annoys me and I'm sure it'd annoy you, too. So, I'm working on this computer's mic since I can't figure out how to record with it. (Both mics on both computers are built in; both are notebooks.) I'd rather record everything on my old computer since it is running Windows XP and this one is Vista. I HATE VISTA WITH A PASSION, but I'll save that for some other rant... Anyways, yeah, that's the deal for the most part. *tumbleweed rolls by*
Rant 25 - Table Games
This rant was brought on by a local issue. Everyone that lives where I do is in a huge debate over whether or not they should offer table games at a gambling center located here. One side is claiming that gambling is wrong and that it's a sin. The other side claims that the table games would bring hundreds of new, permanent jobs to our region and it would help our tourism industry. They also say that even if you don't gamble, you'd still be winning because of the new jobs and all the money the table games would supply. I have a strong opinion on this issue, and I can't even believe that this has become such a huge topic here. There's only one sensible solution, really.
I really think the table games should be brought to our area. Why? Because, like I said, it'd give a lot of people new jobs, it'd help the state, and it would help our area in general. I mean yeah, I understand that some of the Christian church-goers aren't exactly for gambling and all that shit, but no one is forcing them to. We have people that come from different states to gamble, and it's obviously helping the tourism aspect of our area. If you don't like to gamble, then don't go to a gambling establishment, but don't shove your religious beliefs down everyones' throats and don't let this opportunity for new jobs in our area just pass by!
"BUT IF WE DON'T PUT THE NEW TABLE GAMES IN THERE, THEN PEOPLE WON'T GAMBLE!!!" Are you fucking retarded? If someone wants to gamble, they're going to gamble. Why not have them gamble here so we can get a little bit of money out of these people? It'd help our state out, for God's sake. Put your religious beliefs aside and just think about how many new jobs would be created and how many poor, workless people would finally get a job! If people don't want to gamble, then they won't. Nobody is forcing anyone to do anything. But, despite how you may see the world in your little dream bubble, people gamble every day. Take a trip to Las Vegas and you'll see what I mean. Why not have them gamble here so we can get more money and create new jobs?
I really, really think the table games would do nothing but help us here. They would create new jobs, create new opportunities, and the state would earn more money. Nobody is forcing anyone to gamble, so if you're against gambling, then just don't gamble. Don't ruin the fun for others, though. Free will. Just install the table games and let the state earn more money for the people who live here!
Rant 24 - Legalizing Drugs
Now don't go running around in circles for twenty minutes because of the title of this rant, because I'm still kind of iffy about this issue. I think I'm more for than against it, and I have several reasons why.
Okay, so let's just say that they made drugs legal. What would happen? Well, there would be some people that would actually stop taking them. Why? Because, in their twisted minds, they were "getting back" at law enforcement by rebelling by using drugs. So, of course, some of these people would stop taking drugs since they'd be legal and all. This would take care of some of the problem. But what else would happen? Well, a lot of the other drug heads and pot heads would absolutely go crazy with their drugs and they'd overdose. That's over 50% of the drug heads gone right there. Those are the two good things about legalizing pot and all other drugs.
Bad thing about legalizing all this crap? It'd be kind of shitty if the drug heads would magically stop taking such huge doses of their drugs and they'd keep living so they could torture us with their pot headed ways. There'd be even more screwy people in the world to put up with. This whole debate is kind of a double-edged sword.
Another thing: If someone wants their drugs badly enough, then whether or not they're legal is not really going to matter. If someone wants their drugs, they're not gonna give two shits. Just give them the drugs of their choice and they'll be on their way.
I don't really know if this could even be considered a rant. Your opinions on this topic would be appreciated since I'm still kind of iffy about it.
Rant 23 - Music
Ah, music. I absolutely adore music. Music is a huge part of my life, and I love it more than anything. I like all kinds of music. From alternative to rock to punk to even oldies and pop, I can safely say that I like a lot of music from all kinds of different genres and decades. However, there are certain types of music out there that I just don't get.
First off, what the fuck is up with all the slutty girl bands? You know, the ones whose mothers are turning over in their graves and are completely disowning them? Not only the slutty girl bands, but also the plain slutty girls who are trying to make a career out of singing. They all tend to, of course, dress like sluts, sing about slutty topics, dance like they're filming a soft- (or hard-) core porno, and they all can't sing! If it, for a second, sounds like they can sing, then chances are, their voices have been altered. Wanna know why? Because if they could sing that damn well, then chances are, they wouldn't spend hours and hours on end just trying to get their makeup put on right and their clothes short enough to show off their asses and whatnot. They'd spend all that time practicing their SINGING. That's why I look up to female artists like Sheryl Crow. This girl tends to dress appropriately, she's really talented, and she doesn't have to sing or dress like a slut to get anywhere. The girl has actual talent and can easily succeed based on her talent and not on her looks. If only there were more Sheryl Crows out there.
Another type of music that kills me: Rap. Not ALL rap, but most of it really does annoy me. It's all the fucking same! It sucks ass and the lyrics are WAY too repetitive and graphic. I, personally, don't feel like hearing about some black guy getting it on with his "ho." And don't get me started about the fucking videos that accompany this bullshit. Notice how almost all of those black rapper jackasses are grabbing at themselves in their baggy clothes. If you want to masturbate, do it off camera. I don't wanna see that shit! Sad part is, these little "gangsta" kids and teens are soaking in every ounce of this shit and are applying it to their own lives. Great job at being role models, you pathetic morons. And don't get me started about Eminem! I don't give two shits what you say; I think he sucks ass. He's WHITE. Pure wigger. Outside of that, I would rather not hear about some mean-ass dickhead murdering his mother and cutting a kitten's head off and putting it in some poor bastard's mailbox. I hate his lyrics and his music, and most importantly, him.
Speaking of lyrics, I can't stand some of the lyrics just floating around in the music world. There are a lot of stupid kids out there that like to imitate what they hear. Some kid would listen to that Eminem song about cutting a kitten's head off and WHAM. It's just not right. Then, you have the lyrics about rape and murder and whatever else you can think of. Some of these poorly-supervised kids would hear this shit and they'd go out and do exactly as they hear! I honestly don't see what's so "cool" about committing murder, rape, and cutting a poor kitten's head off. It's not "cool," it's CRUEL, you fucking non-human bastards. I hope you people die a horrible death, because it seems that you guys apparently find death and torture "cool." I hope you bastards die in one of the many "cool" fashions you preach about in your blessed, tasteless music.
To sum it all up, the slutty girl bands need to die, rap music needs to have a huge makeover, and the tasteless, annoying, retarded lyrics need to be changed immediately. Let's get some good music back in the world!
Rant 22 - Smoking
Smoking annoys the living bullshit out of me for several reasons. First off, I hate how these stupidasses piss and moan about not having enough cigs to get through the day. Do you mean to tell me that if you don't support an unhealthy habit, you'll just fall down and die? I'll tell you why you get that urge. It's because of some type of chemical or some shit like that that picks up on your nasty habits and will bug you till you feed them. Simple solution: Don't fucking smoke in the first place, then you can't get hooked because you don't know what the fuck you're missing out on. Simple shit, people! When you think about it, drugs and smoking kind of go hand in hand, seeing as both will become expensive addictions that will begin to control you and take over your life. Don't smoke and don't do drugs. Simple.
All these fucking hotlines created to help people quit smoking bug me, too. You know, the ones that have some "nice" Chinese woman standing there in front of the camera saying something like, "We will be there for you on your road to recovery. There are millions of people around the world just like you. With *insert company name here*, you have friends and support." Tell you what: Don't get fucking hooked in the first place. Then, you won't have to call some hotline and talk to some Indian dude about how smoking has taken control of your life and how you just can't take it anymore. Want to quit smoking? Don't buy anymore cigarettes. The ultimate solution is to just not get hooked in the first place, but if you just HAD to pick up a cig twenty years ago, then just stop buying them. They're fucking expensive! To be honest, I don't know how a legitimate person could even afford smoking with gas prices the way they are and whatnot. Taxes are bitches, then you have bills to take care of, car payments, house payments, gasoline, food -- the list goes on and on. Back to the topic of the hotlines and patches and all that shit, I really don't see the need for them. I have a fucking hard time sympathizing with someone when what has happened to them is their own damn fault for not having stronger will power. Heartless? Nah. Know why? Because these smoking jackasses will come around and annoy the living piss out of you and ask you for money if they don't have any cigarettes. Then the ones who are trying to quit talk about how they have gone two days without a cigarette as if they deserve an award for it. Well, I've gone my whole fucking life without a cigarette. Where's MY award?! I made damn sure that I didn't get hooked on smoking in the first place, so therefore, I don't need therapy or whatever. I had the will power to turn down smoking. Sure, you get ridiculed for not being "cool" or whatever, but I'd rather be uncool than I would having to have a fucking lung removed.
"BUT SMOKING IS MY WAY TO RELAX." You know what? If smoking makes you that damn happy and you want to slowly commit suicide, then do it. Just don't smoke around me and don't expect me to have sympathy for you if/when you decide to quit. It's your own damn fault.
"SMOKING OUTSIDE DOES NOT AFFECT YOU!! ZOMG!!!" Fuck that! I can safely say that when someone is smoking outside and is within a ten foot diameter of me, I can still smell the bullshit. That's it, give me lung cancer, too. One person dying from lung cancer just isn't enough, right? Go ahead and stinkify my clothes, too. I swear to God, once you get that God-forsaken smell on your clothing, it's there for good! Kind of sad considering I have yet to smoke before in my life. Yeah, some smoker jackass just had to come around me and smoke. Ruined my fucking jacket. Fuck that! Smoking outside is also ruining the environment.
Alright, I'm done pissing and moaning about the smokers out there. If you're a smoker, just fucking quit, and don't come around me!
Rant 21 - Empty Threats
Empty threats. Some of you may be wondering what I mean by empty threats. An empty threat is a threat someone makes, but never takes any action and usually makes the threat in the first place to do one of the following:
1) Get attention
or, of course,
2) Act tough.
The empty threat that kills me the most is the following: "I'm gonna go commit suicide if ___" (fill in the blank.) I can tell you right now that from my experience, the people who threaten to kill themselves are the very ones who will out-live us all. I'm getting fucking sick and tired of people going around just threatening to pull the trigger on themselves. If you really wanted to commit suicide, then why would you go around telling everyone your intentions so they can prevent it from happening? Do you do it just to see if anyone would try to prevent it from happening? That's my guess. I can't fucking stand it when someone is all: "OH MY GOD WHERE'S THE GUN I GOTTA KILL MYSELF" and someone else has to ruin it by saying something stupid like, "Oh, don't do that! We looooove you too much!" Fuck that! Committing suicide is selfish and stupid, and it proves that you can't deal with reality and life in general. I hate seeing people suck up to these suicidal assholes as if they're the most important beings on the face of the planet. If someone wants to commit suicide, I say have the fuck at it. Just don't tell the rest of the world your intentions before following through, because it's a stupid way to get attention.
This was a somewhat short rant, but there's really not much to elaborate on. To sum it all up, 99% of people who threaten to commit suicide will not go through with it, and they're telling you they will just to get attention and sympathy. Don't let these people fool you.
Rant 20 - Presidential Support Rallies
I know it's odd for me to be bringing up politics, but I figured I'd write a somewhat short rant to point out an obvious flaw in presidential rallies.
Presidential support rallies are to, of course, gain support for a presidential candidate through rallies. They are to inform the public of that candidate's thoughts, ideas, and views. They are to inform and enlighten everyone on where that candidate stands and to persuade people to vote for the candidate in question. So, here's what I don't get: Why do most of these rallies contain people who are already set on voting for that candidate? I think that's rather stupid. Why? Glad you asked.
Doesn't it seem like it would be more convincing if a presidential candidate were surrounded by their toughest critics, haters, and so on? I mean, what good is it gonna do if you are surrounded by people who are already, without a doubt, going to vote for you? What's the point? Chances are, these people have already done their research and have heard everything the candidate has in mind. Wouldn't it make more sense to surround the candidate with critical people and to try and persuade these people that he or she is the person to vote for? Yeah, I know that there are some critical/skeptical people in the room, but notice how the crowd seems to be dominated by clapping folks. I think these rallies would be a hell of a lot more interesting if the candidate were surrounded by people who didn't particularly like him or her, and if the candidate tried his or her best to persuade the crowd to vote for them. If a candidate could successfully do so, then that's obviously saying something: That candidate has some kickass ideas! I dunno, it just seems rather boring to surround a candidate with people who are already going to vote for them. It seems pointless as well. Plus, I think it's fucking wrong to kick the non-supporters out of the room. I think the non-supporters should be able to ask questions and pretty much interrogate the shit out of the candidate (in a nice manner, of course.) It would be more informative and helpful to the public, and politics would be a hell of a lot more interesting, too!
Rant 19 - Miscellaneous
You're probably wondering what the hell a miscellaneous rant is. Basically, it's a rant that covers three or more different topics that are too short to serve as rants by themselves. Now that that's covered, I can move on.
First topic: Taxes. I don't think taxes are fair at all. You know why? Because these stupidasses tax EVERYTHING several times! For example, on payday, you get your paycheck, and they start off by taxing that. Then, when you go to the store, they tax it again. Even when you order shit over the television, they tax that plus however much shipping costs. That's right -- when you order shit from QVC or wherever, they add the shipping in with the total amount of your merchandise, THEN they tax it! How is that fair?! Taxing shipping and handling is just stupid. Everything should be taxed one time, and one time only. And even that one time is a huge pain in the ass. Once they get done taxing your paycheck of, let's say, $500, you're left with, what, $450? It'd be a lot better if they didn't tax it again, but, since they do, that $450 turns into $300.
Second Topic: Spam. I don't know about you, but I am fucking sick and tired of getting perverted spam emails! And the sneaky bastards spell shit like: "V I A G R A @ Haff Price" so you can't set up those message rules to go on and delete the emails so you don't have to look at the shit. It's not only the perverted shit; it's also the misleading crap, such as: "BECOME RIIICH OVRNITE!" What kills me even more are these people that fall for this! If you're willing to give your credit card number to someone you don't even know who speaks like they're from a fucking third world country, you're a moron. Don't give me the "FREE SPEECH" bullshit, either. Why is it that, when it comes to spammers, they have free speech, but when it comes to dissing Bush or something like that, free speech isn't aloud anymore?! Yeah, can you see how that's kind of wrong and unfair? This country doesn't allow total free speech anymore. Need some examples? First example: Some dude wore an anti-Bush t-shirt on a plane, and was kicked off of it. Dead serious. Second example: If you ever diss Bush at one of his little get togethers, you're fucking kicked out of the room. Oh, where'd the free speech go to there? I can't express my opinions about Bush, but a fucking spammer can use free speech to try and get money out of me? Wow, if this country gets any more fair, I think I'll have to move away. Too much fairness for me!
Next topic: Teen movies. There are too fucking many teen movies out there! They're all alike, too! Take that Nancy Drew movie for one. I love the Nancy Drew book series -- I was raised on that chick. Now, they came out with a movie, which stars another teen actress. They just had to adapt the wonderful book series into a teen movie that people would "want" to watch. I am so fucking sick of the teen movies. Almost all of them share the same basic message, too: Girl meets boy, conflict comes between them, they resolve the conflict and end the story with a bigass kiss or happy ending of some sort. Fucking pathetic, mediocre, and over-done. How about some sad endings for once?! Yeah, I know I sound pessimistic, but we need something new!
Next topic: "Clinical" depression. Simply stated, everyone's a little bit depressed. It's called life; get used to it. You live until you die, you go through shit, you hit rough patches, and so on. Everyone goes through it. Deal with it. Find a hobby, for God's sake! Watching movies, knitting, art, reading, computer, volunteering, writing -- the possibilities are endless! Fuck, even start collecting something like stamps or whatever. I am just so sick and tired of people going around saying: "I HAVE *CLINICAL* DEPRESSION!" Well, good for you! Personally, I think people go to the doctor and the doctors put them on meds to get more money. What the fuck good does medication do you?! Most of those "depression medications" have this little message tattooed to the bottle that reads: "If you get more depressed or feel the need to commit suicide, stop using this medication immediately and call your doctor." Yeah, call the doctor so he can put you on a DIFFERENT medication and get even MORE money. And what's up with the part about feeling MORE depressed?! Great medicine, Einstein. Depressed? Find a hobby.
Next and final topic: Disciplinary tactics. I could probably turn this into another rant, but as for now, I'll just do a simple rant about it. Got a little demonic kid? Discipline him. Does he need a slap across the ass? Then, for God's sake, slap him! Don't be afraid to discipline your kids! That's what's so fucking wrong with the world and how it is today. Nobody disciplines their children anymore! If everyone were disciplined, there would be no back-talking, no "meddling teenagers," as everyone talks about, and everyone would be much more polite. The world would be a smarter place if we brought back the paddling system to schools, too. Got a kid that won't pay attention? Smack the bastard until he listens! Actually, if parents disciplined their children at home, there would be no need for this at school. But, assuming that the parents don't really give a shit, I think teachers should be allowed to smack a student. Is he or she talking too much? Smack him! Do something about it so maybe the next generation won't be so stupid. Harsh? No. These kids need to fucking learn how to act before they get out into the real world. Do you think their boss is gonna put up with this bullshit? Hell no! He'll get fired and end up being a welfare bastard that makes $500 a month. Way to go. Seriously, disciplining your children is only helping them out in the long run.
And there's my first miscellaneous rant.
Rant 18 - Scene Kids
NOTE: This is an EXTREMELY long rant, so don't attempt to read it if you have a short attention span.
I don't particularly get the whole "SCENE" deal. I mean, from what I've read, it seems a little...odd. To me, it's a mixture of "prep," "hardcore," and "emo." I, personally, think this label is bullshit. And yeah, I'll admit that I'm not really for labels and stereotypes, but since it's impossible to escape being labeled anymore, I will sometimes call someone a "prep" or an "emo" kid, not because of the way they dress, but because of their personality and their actions. I think each stereotype should be considered a state of mind, but I'm getting off-track here. This could serve as a whole new rant, really. Back to the "scene" kiddies.
I went to Wikipedia to look up this stereotype to kind of understand it more, and it re-directed me to a site called WikiHow. I found an article teaching you how to be a scene kid. I couldn't believe some of the bullshit I read. Here's the original article; I added little comments outside of the quotation marks.
How to Be a Scene Kid
"While a contemporary term for hipster or bohemian and other insiders of art related movements, scene kids are also associated with listening to screamo, techno, punk rock, indie rock, and hip hop, or other forms of unconventional music. If you want to be a scene kid, here are some suggestions to help you along your way.
"Go to shows. After all, that's where the scene is(any artistic movement has a scene), and that's why they're called scene kids. Live for shows. But not all scene kids go to shows, some just mosh in front of school. Keep up with the up and coming bands by doing your research! Be friends with all the local bands, and brag about it. It's very, very important to know your music history (i.e. Norma Jean)! If you're not able to carry on a deep conversation about lyrics, style, and/or band mates, you will be rejected. When not at a show, listen to your music all the time."
Oh wow. Where do I even start with this paragraph? First off, I listen to music CONSTANTLY, but I'm definitely not a 'scene' kid. I don't live for shows, and I hate mosh pits. In fact, I think they're stupid, but I'm getting off-topic. Moving on with the next paragraph.
"Get the attitude. You don't have to be vain and slightly arrogant, but you must be social, yet slightly socially withdrawn.
Be very polite to people of all ages, shapes, ethnicities, religions, etc., after all, that's why most people look up to scenesters.
Think that you are absolutely, without a doubt, the most gorgeous person on the face of the planet. This is something you will have to work extra hard on if you have low self-confidence. Practice this around other friends; compliment yourself often. When you do encounter your first scene friend, be sure to appear overly confident in everything you do.
Compliment others sparingly, but thoughtfully. Remember, people care about people who care about themselves."
Doesn't this section contradict itself? First off, they tell you that you don't have to be vain, but later on, they state, quote: 'Think that you are absolutely, without a doubt, the most gorgeous person on the face of the planet.' You know what I call someone who thinks he or she is, without a doubt, the most gorgeous person on the face of the planet? A prick. A self-obsessed prick who needs to come the fuck back to reality.
Yeah, I understand people should have SOME confidence, but good God, don't go bragging about how you are the perfect person and how your shit doesn't stink. You're human like the rest of us, Scene Kiddie. Get the fuck over it.
"Become active on MySpace. Post a plethora of pictures of yourself and shows you've been to. Add as many friends as you can, including random scene kids, and check out what they are listening to. Download every song ever by that band and research the band's bio. Other sites like Purevolume and LiveJournal have an abundance of hardcore kids as well."
What the fuck is the point of adding people if you're never going to talk to them? I think that's rather stupid and a huge waste of time. And the whole download every fucking song by every fucking band that another 'SCENE' kid listens to is quite copy-cattish, if you ask me. What's the point of downloading all of this music if you're never gonna listen to it and if you hate it? Of course, you can always conform to liking it, but I think that's just plain silly.
"Get hair that isn't curly. You can also have different colors in your hair, but it's not a must. The weirder it is, the more scene. Think 80's metal hair trimmed up with all the sophistication of today. It doesn't matter if you're a boy and your hair is longer; it doesn't matter if you're a girl with shorter hair; what matters is your ability to pull it off with confidence. Also, you can't go wrong with getting it stacked or layered. The idea is to look androgynous with your hair. Spike it up in the back and straighten the sides. You can also straighten the bottom and mess up the top layers of your hair. Or you can grow out your bangs and have them over your eyes."
Isn't the whole 'bangs over your eyes' thing kind of skater-boyish/emo? Yeah, stealing from those two categories. Plus, do you mean to tell me that to be a scene kid, you have to conform to these looks? That's total bullshit. Stereotypes should be a state of mind. Being scene, so far, seems to be copying after others and having the right look. I think that's beyond retarded.
"Wear eyeliner, whether you're male or female (NOT emo eyepaint). If you know how to apply eyeliner, do it yourself, but if you are a novice girl or guy, let someone that knows how to apply makeup do it for you. Males have a tendency to put a "little" too much makeup on their faces, while girls can wear as much or as little as they please."
Back to the last rant I did about makeup and all that other superficial bullshit. It means nothing! Well, I guess it proves that you have nothing better to spend your money on than eyeliner. Wow, great point to prove, kiddos.
"Wear tight, skinny, pencil jeans or straight leg jeans. (NOT flares, bootcuts, or baggy jeans). While the tighter the better, find a decent fit for you because no one will talk to you if you look like a fashion victim. Girls are recommended to have tight form fitting jeans in a vintage or dark wash. Girls can also wear jean skirts or black stretch skirts, as long as a decent pair of leggings are worn beneath (Remember, you can never go wrong with a pair of solid black leggings). Guys should find a decent fitting pair of girl jeans or somewhat of a fitted straight leg jeans aswell, the tighter the better, but remember that the rest of us do not want to be able to see the vein in your thigh through your jeans! And don't forget the belt (Preferably black pyramid belts; white for females), usually worn with the buckle to the side."
Can you say EMO? Are you SURE this stereotype isn't a mixture of prep and emo? It sure as fuck sounds like it is to me.
"Stock up on band shirts or graphic Tees. Band shirts are uni-sex. If you've done your music research, load up on classic band t-shirts (i.e. The Ramones). Get the tightest fitting t-shirt, within reason. Look for shirts that have the vintage feel. If you can actually find a vintage shirt, more scene points. Anything with dinosaurs on it is automatically accepted. Shirts with foil prints on them are also in, as are shirts with any of the following on them: gun, butterfly, bird, skull, lightning bolt, Hello Kitty etc."
Oh, wow. There's the whole superficial thing shining through. And don't even get me started about Hello fucking Kitty! I liked her when I was, what, four or five? I grew out of that fast. It's pathetic, end of story. If you're back to liking Hello Kitty, then don't diss people who still suck their thumbs and watch Barney and Sesame Street, because you're no different.
"Get Classic shoes. Shoes can make you or break you. Vans Classics that are in all black or pretty much any color that matches you. This is part of the standard uniform. Once you get those you can feel free to branch out to any style of Vans you want. Old school Adidas, Nikes, or Converse too. Beat up your shoes too, the more beat up and dirtier they are the better. For girls, ballet flats and other formal low heeled shoes, also boots of any kind are accepted."
Beat up your shoes too, the more beat up and dirtier they are the better. Hah! That reminds me of that one commercial for MasterCard that says: 'Looking like you just hopped out of bed: Priceless,' and it had that nasty-looking guy on there. I think that is so fucking retarded. If I'm going to buy a pair of shoes that cost one hundred or more fucking dollars, I'm NOT going to beat them up, you stupid fucks.
"Accessorize. If you're a girl, invest in necklaces that have guns, hearts, keys, butterflies, skulls, etc. Big wooden necklaces are a good alternative. Do not wear gloves or arm bands of any type. The only ones that are acceptable are the fingerless wrist warmers with either the skull on the back or lace trim. Oversized sunglasses with thick black or white frames are acceptable, and cat-eye frames are another good choice. Hats can be worn with caution, though you're better off without, as it is important to show off one's glory, the hair. Girls should wear plenty of bright-colored hair barrettes, clips, ribbons, and bows. If you're a guy, keep your keys dangling on the side with a carabiner attached to a belt loop. Every scene kid should own at least one bandana (Often black, red and white, and some neon colored ones). Either fold it into a flag to hang out of your back pocket, in a band around the head, or down around your neck. Guys can wear hats if they don't do much hair styling. A flat-brim New Era cap is worn to summer shows with basketball shorts. A knit beanie worn over a bandana during the winter. Hello Kitty is a big deal with both scene girls and boys."
Well, first off, in this day and time, it's fucking unsafe to leave your keys just dangling outside of your pocket. Know why? Because some dumbass thief will see them and beat you down to get a hold of them. Seriously, if there is anyone who is willing to conform to ALL of these rules just to be called 'SCENE', they fucking need a reality check. Now.
"Be a vegetarian or vegan, whatever you prefer."
Aren't you going to tell me how to vote, too? You've told me everything else to do and how to live my life.
"Add unnecessary letters as you type. For example: 'rawwr' 'kiiid' 'baaby' Spelling your name in odd ways is popular as well. So is giving yourself a second name in addition to your first. For example: 'Debby Nasty,' 'Ashley Vogue,' 'Joseph Rotten,' 'Michael Couture,' etc. Also, write very short sentences, and add period at the end of almost anything. Tell people to 'not comment' your myspace pictures. Underline, bold, strikeout, and italicize random words in your writing."
Let me stop laughing first, and I'll reply to this one.
First off, someone who adds unnecessary letters as they type just doesn't know how to spell, or they're sitting on their keyboard. And frankly, the whole 'second name' thing is just really stupid. So, if I were to transform to being 'SCENE', I could be called Rachel Vogue? Rachel Rotten? That's stupid. Don't want your myspace pictures commented? Then, by all means, STOP FUCKING POSTING THEM, or set your album to private or something. That's simple enough.
Just for shits and giggles, let's move on to what's labeled as: 'Scene Girl Characteristics'. I've added comments in italics.
-Skinny, medium or plump, it doesn't matter. Don't Starve Yourself Because You Believe It Is 'Scene' To be Anorexic.
...it's not 'scene' to be anorexic? My bad.
-Often seen wearing tons of black eyeliner/eyeshadow
That's stupid.
-Choppy, multi-coloured hair (Often with extentions; crazy colors bring out the scene) OR totally black long hair, if schooling.
'If schooling'? What the fuck?
-Facial piercings (Snakebites, Septum, nose etc)
Emo?
-Like hardcore and fellow scene boys
But of course.
-Excellent Moshers
-Their MySpace is filled to the top with hardcore music, 'Cute' stuff, friends, and gloomy bear
Of course.
-Must wear skinny jeans OR black shorts, with flats
-Animal print is usually worn, or band tees.
-Little kid hairclips & huge bows
Those went out in the 60's.
Here's the Scene Boy Characteristics:
-Gauges
-Dyed hair, preferably bangs in the face
Emo.
-Tight clothing
Emo/Skater.
-New Era Hat with peak turned up
-Wears usually girl jeans (Levi's has new skinny stretch type pants, 80's jeans are pretty tight or Wranglers even)
EMO.
-Streches(holes in the ear )known as plugs ,flesh tubes stretches
Ow.
-Obsessive with energy drinks and/or soda
-Wears many if not all little kid themed t's (superman, dora the explorer, thomas the train, etc..)
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA!!!!!!! I don't think I'm gonna stop laughing at this one!
-Wear Alot of Band t's. Job For A Cowboy, The Kottonmouth Kings, The Number 12 Looks Like You & Drop Dead, Gorgeous are your best friends (and will earn you loads of scene points)
CONFORMISTS!
Oh, check it out -- TIPS:
-Use old slang like "rad" "stellar" "braw (bruh)" or "dank."
Please remember, this is the twenty-first century.
-Try merging your style with another, such as punk or prep. Keep it trendy, but slightly original.
Ah-hah!
-Never, under any circumstances, admit you are scene. That would make you a poseur, and no one wants to be seen with a poseur.
What the fuck? Admitting you're scene would make you a poser? Doesn't that prove my point?!
-Act regular around your friends, but act hardcore and tough around others.
Oh brother. And it's these very people who go home and cry themselves to sleep at night, too.
-Have as many non-scene friends as possible. reach out to other diverse groups, such as ghetto-fab, and tree-hugging hippies. Behave in a way that is accepted, when in these groups.
Oh, so now you're telling me that I can't have a friend who is labeled 'scene' if I'm scene? How retarded?!
Alright, I guess I'm done scrutinizing the 'scene' kiddos. In closing, I would like to re-state that 'SCENE' kids seem to be a mixture of two or more stereotypes mixed in with snobby-ness and conforming. It's rather pointless and stupid, if you ask me.
Rant 17 - Desperate Folks
There are so many desperate folks out there, it's not even funny. By desperate folks, I mean these girls and guys that change everything about themselves just to get a boy or girlfriend. Are you really that desperate to get a boyfriend/girlfriend that you will change every fucking thing that defines you just to make yourself perfect for someone else? That's pretty bad. My advice: If a guy or girl can't accept you for who you really are, then fuck em! Don't change everything about yourself just to please someone else; change only if you do it for your own benefit.
What kills me is when I see all these girls wearing makeup, concealer, eye liner, mascara, blush, lip gloss, lip stick, fake eyelashes, fake nails, push-up bras, butt suspenders...you know, all that shit. Every bit of that shit is fake and superficial! It makes no sense to me why girls would go through all of this trouble just to get a guy. Wouldn't a girl just stop and think about it and say, "Hey, wait a minute. Do I really want to do all of this every single day I go out just to get a guy? And if I do get a guy, will he dump me if I stop doing all of this?" I think it'd be a lot better for both sides if girls would just keep all the fake shit put away. Leave it alone and be yourself. If a guy doesn't like who you really are, then fuck them! You'll eventually find a guy that loves you for who you are and not what you look like, because really, everyone gets old and everyone will eventually get gray hair, but your personality doesn't have to change. Common sense, people.
It's not only girls, either. Sometimes, a guy will "better" himself to find that perfect mate as well. Lie, even. Guys will lie about their income, hobbies, past times, interests, etc. For instance, a guy would go to say that he absolutely loves C-Span, Book TV, and the news to seem smarter than he actually is when, in reality, his favorite show is Spongebob. Personally, as a girl, I can safely say that if a guy liked Spongebob, but wasn't dumb as a bean pole, I'd be fine with him! Everyone has little "odd spots" in their personality; you just have to overlook them and make the best out of them. Nobody's perfect and everyone's different. Definitely keep that in mind.
Basically, just be yourself all the time. If you do, you'll know that people actually like you for who you are and not because of your makeup or lies. If you don't, then you'll be stuck with having to be fake the rest of your life. It's up to you.
Rant 16 - Foolish Teens and Children
I know I've already somewhat covered this issue, but I've decided to rant a little more on these kids.
The other day, I was watching one of those stupid court shows on television. For the record, I think they're stupid, but amusing and interesting. Anyway, there was this fourteen-year-old girl on there that was PREGNANT. Fourteen. She's still a kid herself, for God's sake! Anyway, the judge asked her why she decided to get pregnant at such a young age, and you'll never guess the stupid bitch's response: "I did it to get revenge on my father!" Oh, wow, WAY TO GO! Here you are, a kid yourself, about to give birth to your own kid. Whose life is over? It's not your father's; it's yours! Stupid idiot! I can't tell you how fucking STUPID that is. I can't believe that anyone would be stupid enough to go out, have sex, and get pregnant just to prove a point to their parent! You know the best revenge on a parent? Nothing. Know why? Because, I've noticed, every time you attempt to get revenge on a parent, it seems to backfire and kick you right in the ass. Getting pregnant to get revenge on a parent is not only a good kick in the ass, but it's a good slap across the face, too. That has got to be one of the stupidest things I've ever heard or witnessed before in my life.
I think the reason she was trying to get revenge on Daddy was because he was never around or some shit like that. Well, I hate to break it to her, but there are millions of kids in the world whose fathers have walked right out on them and their mother. She's not the first kid that ever happened to. It's life; deal with it in a way that doesn't end up hurting yourself. And now this poor bastard she's about to give birth to gets to find out that he was conceived to get revenge on his grandfather! What a burst of confidence that'll be. He'll get to learn that he wasn't conceived out of love; he was conceived out of pure hate. What a great feeling.
It's not only this girl, either. What about these other teenagers that actually commit suicide or something? The kids that wreck cars on purpose are no exception, either. The suicidal teens are probably better off dead so they can stop pissing and moaning, and they'll be out of whatever they were in. The world would be a lot better off if all the people that "threatened" to commit suicide would just fucking do it and get it over with instead of pissing and moaning and getting sympathy from everyone he or she knows. I could go on about the suicide thing, but I think this could serve as another rant. Teens that hurt themselves physically (by cutting or stabbing themselves or some shit like that) to "get revenge" on Mommy and/or Daddy really do need help. They need to get over whatever rule they're trying to protest against and move the fuck on with life. Everyone has rules and restrictions, and some of us have over-protective parents. That's just the way it is. Besides, teenagers have only a few more years to go, and their parents will have absolutely no say in what they do. It's a damn shame that we can't wait just a few more years. Matter of fact, it's a shame that the "You have absolutely no control over me" teen thing has gotten this far. Before yelling at your parents, why don't you put yourself in their shoes? Just give it a shot -- you may think of things a lot differently if you do.
Rant 15 - AIDS in Africa
Just like abortion, I have two views on this subject. I know this is a really touchy subject for people, but I just want to make some points.
There is a really, really simple solution to this problem: STOP SCREWING EVERY FUCKING PERSON YOU COME IN CONTACT WITH! Better yet, how about using fucking protection?! Instead of donating billions of dollars a year for research on a cure for AIDS, why don't we just send people over there to teach the great people of Africa about condoms? I think they'd get a kick out of them, seeing as they prevent AIDS and all. Plus, it will slow down the population of the poor African people a little. I, personally, don't know who would want to bring a kid into the world in the rough conditions of Africa. Seems a little selfish to me, but whatever. I think condoms would do these people a bit of good. It'd be a nice change of pace to see these people screwing one another while using protection. It'd save us all money and time.
Of course, there is an exception to this. If someone was raped, then it's a whole different story. There's no controlling that. I'm talking about the people that fuck each other WITHOUT protection when they KNOW that AIDS is a HUGE problem! It's not only the African people, either. Americans (and all other people) are at fault, too. We're at fault even more, actually. We have a lot more money than those poor African bastards. Condoms can be found almost anywhere. We have no excuse, really.
What irks me more are these fucking American people that go to Africa, bang someone, then they come right back to the US and fuck more people! Are these people out of their minds?! That's probably how AIDS came to be in America in the FIRST fucking place. Why don't we just stay in our own country, close our borders, and fucking leave everyone alone? Mind our own business. It seems like that'd take care of so many issues we're facing.
I really do think that AIDS is a preventable disease. Just have caution and don't trust people easily. I would actually advise you to use those tips at all times. You can't trust many people anymore, especially when it comes to diseases and shit like that. He or she may say that they don't have AIDS, but then again, they may be undressing you with their eyes while saying that. Some people are just self-centered and don't give a shit about you and your health, which is why it's up to you to look out for yourself. If you have AIDS, then be sure to tell your partner and let them deal with it. Put them before yourself, for God's sake. And, by all means, USE PROTECTION, or don't do it at all.
Rant 14 - Whose Country Is It?
I know I've already touched on the subject of illegal immigrants and all that, but I saw something the other day that made me want to pick right back up where I left off.
I was in Wal-Mart by the cappuccino section. Gotta have the cappuccino and iced coffee to stay awake and prepare to rant my guts out. Anyways, my eyes wandered over to the chocolate syrup. I saw something that made me want to beat a Mexican with a fucking ten pound sack of potatoes. Right there on the fucking label to some kind of chocolate sauce shit read: "Aubuella's Chocolatẽ Syruppetto," or whatever the fuck "GRANDMA'S CHOCOLATE SYRUP" is in fucking SPANISH. What the fuck?! Whose country is it?! These fucking Mexicans are taking over our country. They're proving this one store at a time.
I'm getting sick and tired of seeing everything in America have a Spanish translation on it. It's everywhere! The worst place in my opinion? Lowe's. You know, the shittiest hardware store ever? The place where help is impossible to find and the place where it is impossible to get checked out so you can move on with life? Yeah, that's the place I'm talking about. Every fucking sign in that fucking store has a little Spanish...whatever thing! At this rate, everything will have little English captions.
Just to re-state myself, I want to remind you that the legal fuckers are okay with me, but I think that it would be a nice gesture if these people learned the damn English language. That's just a sign of respect for America and the people living here. If you're in America, speak English. By the same token, if you're in Italy, speak Italian. If you're in France, speak French! It shows a sign of respect that you took the time to learn the language before spending thousands of dollars to go over there on vacation. If you're in a different country than where you were born, show some respect to the country and to the country's people and learn the stupid language. It's not too much to ask, really. If that country is nice enough to let you move there (or visit even), you should be nice enough to learn the language.
Anyways, back to the Mexican bullshit. Have you noticed how we're seriously starting to cater to these people? Yeah I know this is a little bit off-topic; sue me. Seriously, we're letting these people come here legally AND illegally, we're not doing too much to prevent these people from coming here illegally and smuggling drugs and whatnot, and we're making every fucking thing that exists in American bilingual! But, of course, you'll still see these illegal Mexican bastards protesting in California about how THEY WANT EQUAL RIGHTS. Want equal rights? Learn the language, come here legally, stay out of jail, stay out of trouble, and respect the country and its people! We don't owe you people anything, no matter what you were taught in "MEHICO." It seems to me that these people would want to come here legally. I mean, the illegal people make, what, five cents an hour while the legal people make minimum wage, at least. Shouldn't they feel just a little taken advantage of? I dunno, maybe it's just me, but I'd rather be making five bucks an hour than five cents an hour. Call me crazy.
I know I pretty much targeted Mexicans throughout this whole rant, but they're really the majority of the problem. They make up most of the illegal population in the US. If these people keep invading our country, taking our jobs, and translating everything into their own language, pretty soon, we'll get benefits for being white Americans.
Rant 13 - Kids These Days
Now don't take this rant the wrong way, because I really do love kids. I don't necessarily love all kids, but the ones that are well-disciplined and respectful go over well with me. The kids that get to me are the ones that are little demons and could be mistaken for bats out of hell. I'm talking about the type of kids that would fucking paintball your car if they didn't get their way with whatever. These kids annoy the living piss out of me. Of course, since these kids are, well, kids, you can't really blame the kids themselves. You gotta place the blame on the parents. Why? Because kids don't know bullshit unless they are taught it from somewhere. It is up to the child's parents to teach them right from wrong, end of discussion. That is a parent's job. If a kid obeys, then be sure to award them with whatever. If a kid disobeys, then fucking slap them one across the ass. Ground them. If they're older kids, then embarrass the bullshit out of them in front of their friends. That'd be a sure way to get through to them.
And don't give me the bullshit about child abuse. "HITTING YOUR CHILD IS CHILD ABUSE, END OF DISCUSSION!" Fuck that! I don't mean hitting the absolute BULLSHIT out of them across the face; I mean a simple smack across the ass! It gets the point across, it makes the kid straighten the fuck up, and most importantly, it disciplines the kid. I'm gonna move on from disciplinary tactics because it could serve as a whole new rant.
Back to my original topic: kids these days. Let me tell you a story I heard on the news the other day. Honest to God, I thought I was going to fucking pass out and die. I have never heard such a load of bullshit before in my life.
This story begins with an innocent little five-year-old girl playing outside in her backyard. She was swinging and sliding and getting her exercise like most kids her age do (or are supposed to.) Well, it seems that a nine-year-old boy and his eleven-year-old friend wandered into this little girl's yard. These two boys, ages nine and eleven, fucking raped the little girl. Raped her. A nine-year-old and an eleven-year-old raped an innocent little five-year-old girl. Do you see anything wrong with this fucked up picture?! FIRST OFF, what the fuck were these little demons doing in this little girl's yard?! RESPECT THE PROPERTY LINE, YOU STUPID PRICKS. Next, how the fuck do boys these ages know about sex?! Maybe I learned late, but I didn't know bullshit till I was at LEAST twelve. Even then, I still didn't know EVERYTHING. I think it's BULLSHIT that these kids' parents didn't keep a close eye on them. Oh, and get this: THE BOYS ARE STILL ROAMING THE FUCKING STREETS. That's right, they get to play outside on their bicycles while that poor, innocent little girl has had a piece of her taken away that she will never, ever get back. I find that fucking DISTURBING. Also, I think the little girl's mother should've watched her a little closer. I'm definitely not trying to pin the blame on her mother, because I feel so, so sorry for her. She did an interview on TV and she was crying about the situation. It was truly sad to see her talk about her daughter's innocence being ripped right out from her. I think it's fucking pathetic and sad that you have to practically babysit your children while they're in their OWN fucking backyard. That is when you know that the world is truly fucked up. That whole fucking story is fucked up.
There's another story about two different boys fucking vandalizing a church. I think the boys were eight and nine -- something like that. They broke into the church by breaking the fucking window, they splattered paint everywhere, they CLOGGED the TOILETS, and then they fucking tried to light some toilet paper on fire INSIDE the church! What the fuck is up with that?! First off, once again, where the fuck were the kids' parents?! Don't parents care about where their kids are anymore?! It's not fucking safe to let your kids roam the streets at night, folks! Any dumbass knows that! If they don't care about their kids, then fucking give them up for adoption or something. Or better yet, DON'T HAVE THEM IN THE FIRST FUCKING PLACE, YOU MORONIC WASTES OF HUMAN SKIN!
What really surprised me was that no one really seemed to be in shock over these two incidents. Everyone acted like it wasn't that much of a big deal. Personally, I thought I was going to go into a complete state of paralyzing shock because these kids are so fucking young. The second incident didn't hit home with me as much as the first one did. That little girl lost a piece of her that she will never get back. The fact that two boys, ages nine and eleven did it is what really shocked the hell out of me. I honestly couldn't believe it. They didn't have to go to juvenille prison or anything. They're still riding their bikes out on the street as if nothing had ever happened.
What's this world coming to?
Rant 12 - Meteorologists
What the fuck is up with meteorologists anymore?! Most of them act like they're all that and a bag of Doritos while they're predicting the weather. Here's the problem I have with that: their job is to predict the weather. No one knows for SURE what will happen until it actually happens. Most of these meteorologists will be all: "WE ARE GONNA GET RAIN TOMORROW, SO BE SURE TO PACK AN UMBRELLA ALONG WITH YOU! NOW, BACK TO YOU, JENNY AND CRAIG!" Usually, what ends up happening is that the sun shines so fucking brightly you need the umbrella for shade from it so you won't get fucking skin cancer.
And then you know what happens the next day. The meteorologist comes right back on the air shamelessly and they give you the following bullshit: "Predicting the weather is a very challenging activity and we can only predict so much! We can never be 100% accurate!" Alright, then why the fuck did you make it a point to tell me to pack a fucking annoying, useless umbrella so I won't get rained on?! I didn't need an umbrella; I needed sun tan lotion! Also, most of these people can never quite admit that they're wrong. They'll be all: "REMEMBER THAT COLD FRONT I TOLD Y'ALL ABOUT?! Well, it seems that it got sidetracked by the warm front and all the warm pressure and cold pressure collided to form a stationary front that will be stationary! NO RAIN FOR US! WHEE!" First off, stop using such big, useless, stupid words to confuse the shit out of your viewers. In order to be comprehensive, you must provide your viewers with information that they can understand without having a fucking COLLEGE DEGREE from STANFORD. Use weird weather terms? Define them and don't leave it up to your fucking half-asleep morning viewers to figure them out!
AND SPEAKING OF NO RAIN, what the fuck is up with these meteorologists that are all: "WHOA, NO RAIN FOR US! YAY!!!" Then, they talk about barbequeing, grilling, et cetera. Alright, what I don't get is that they are happy that we are getting sun. THE WHOLE FUCKING COUNTRY IS IN A FUCKING SEVERE DROUGHT SITUATION, YOU ASSHOLES. Rain is our friend! Sun is our enemy! We need rain to survive; get over it! I know we need sun too, but right now, WE NEED THE RAIN. There's a time for the sun to shine brightly and there's a time for it to stay the fuck away from us, and right now it is time for it to do the latter. I'm sure you can post-pone that monthly family reunion or that weekly church revival whatever for another day or two.
The fact that these people get paid to predict really does get to me. I predict that these people will die either from choking on a piece of steak from that lovely cook-out, or they could always die of a heat stroke. Where's my money for that educated prediction?!
Rant 11 - Racism and Branding
This was brought on by my last rant about affirmative action. Racism is such a big topic anymore. Everyone's always yelling: "RACIST!" Well, who gives a shit? I, personally, don't give a rat's ass if a black guy calls me a "cracker." I don't really care! I let it go and walk away.
What pisses me off are these stupid assholes that try to use this to their advantage. For instance, say some Hispanic dude would apply for a job and would lose it to a plain old ordinary white guy. The Hispanic would feel the need to cry "RACIST!" to get his fucking way! No offence, but sometimes you don't get hired because you can't do the job right! Ever think the problem lies within yourself and not your fucking employer? Go out and find another fucking job; it wasn't meant to be. Get over it, for God's sake! Don't sit there like a stupid jackass and file two thousand papers that claim that you weren't given a fair chance just because you're Hispanic. Deal with the fact that you just suck ass and aren't good enough for whatever job. Get over it, find something new to get into, and go on with life!
Now I'm not saying that I am personally against blacks or Hispanic folks or whatever; I don't really give a shit about someone's skin color. I judge people by their personalities and actions, not their skin color. The world would be a much better place if people judged others in this manner. Racism would be eliminated, people could stop pissing and moaning about racism, and the world would just overall be a better place.
You know, another thing I hate is when people judge people by their age. It seems that the general population (i.e. adults) shares the basic same view on certain age groups. Here's a chart explaining what I mean:
Ages 7-10: These kids are considered babies.
Ages 11-13: Puberty. Still babies, though.
Ages 14-15: First "real" stages of teendom. These "kids" are seen as immature and confused.
Ages 16-19: Teendom. Reckless, hopeless, irresponsible. Stay away from these immature people.
Ages 20-23: Early twenties. Young and reckless. Also considered stupid by many. Careless.
Ages 24-27: These "kids" are starting to grow up. A little. Finally.
Ages 28-30: At thirty, you're entering adult hood! Woooo!!
Now this kind of branches right on out to branding. Adults tend to brand children (and "adults") by their age and not by their personality or level of intelligence. This just pisses me off big time. I'll admit it: I am a teenager. But I'm not reckless and careless like teenagers are made out to be. I'm careful, I'm cautious, and I don't go around just looking for trouble. Luckily, most of the adults in my life judge me by my personality and they treat me like I'm older than my years. They acknowledge the fact that I act older than I actually am and they treat me as if I were an adult. Unfortunately, not all people do this. Some people are so fucking stupid that they just slap a label on you, such as "STUPID" or "IRRESPONSIBLE" or, of course, "TEENAGER," which is all of the above, and they don't even get to know you first. It's stupid, it's pathetic, and it's a form of discrimination whether you admit it or not!
Alright, I guess I've ranted enough for now. You all may go about your lives and forget everything I just said.
Rant 10 - Affirmative Action
"Rant" 09 - Illegal Immigrants
NOTE: This will be extremely offensive to some, so read at your own risk. Also, this rant is mostly talking about illegal Mexicans since they tend to be the biggest problem.
Alright, I know this is gonna be a touchy subject for people who are illegal immigrants themselves, or know an illegal immigrant and consider them a "friend." But, seeing as I hate these bastards for several reasons, I have decided to rant about them.
First off, illegal is right in their fucking title! Whether you call them illegal immigrants or illegal aliens, the "illegal" part stays consistent! Enough said right there. These bastards are ILLEGAL. Now, don't get me wrong: these fuckers that come here legally -- I like these folks. It shows that they actually care and they took the time to get a green card. It shows that they really do want to come to America and make a better life for themselves. Kudos to you fuckers! The fuckers that piss me off to no end are the stupid JACKASSES that come here ILLEGALLY. Get a fucking green card. Too "hard" to get? That shows that you're a lazy bastard that doesn't care. If you come here, come here LEGALLY, or stay the fuck in Mexico or wherever the hell you live!
Now, to put into perspective just how many illegal immigrants flock to the US each year, let's look at some statistics. Each year, there are anywhere between 400,000 and 700,000 immigrants that come to the US illegally. We're not talking hundreds; we're talking thousands. That's a lot of people! Keep in mind that most of these people are Mexican, too.
"BUT GREEN CARD IS TOO HARD TO GET! ME WANT 'MERICAN BASTARDS LEAVE ME 'LONE!" Fuck you! They've made it pretty easy to get a green card. There are different ways to go about it as well. And if you can't get the fucking green card, then stay the FUCK away from us! Don't disrespect the country by breaking the law. And you must admit that breaking the law is fucking disrespectful to the country! Love the country? Follow the rules. Come here legally and you can live here and eat all the fuckin' tacos and chalupas you want.
Not only that, but Mexicans in particular seem to have a history of crime. Now of course, not all Mexicans are out to kill, but the illegal ones are already obviously breaking the law. If they're willing to go this far, then I wouldn't put it past them to commit other illegal acts, such as murder and stealing (let's be honest, they're already STEALING our money, food, and housing by just moving here.)
Statistic-wise, 33% of the prison population is made up of, you guessed it, illegal aliens. Mexicans, to be exact. An additional 36-42% of these illegal Mexicans are on welfare and are receiving benefits (and this number is growing by the day.) Most of these fuckers come over here for the sole purpose to receive benefits. What a joke.
There are 10.4 million illegal aliens living in the US currently. That's 10.4 million illegal immigrants. That is a LOT of people, and this number is growing by the day! Approximately $750 million dollars in taxpayer money is annually used to have the 18,000 illegal aliens housed in California prisons. That's right: 18,000+ of these fuckers are BEHIND BARS! Way to go, border patrol. I'll tell you what should happen: they should take these illegal Mexican jailbirds, kill them, wrap them up in garbage bags and put a pretty red bow on them, then sling them right back to fuckin' Mexico! Or another idea: SEND SOME OF THESE FUCKERS TO IRAQ! If they claim they want to come over here to "HELP THE ECONOMY," then make the bastards go to Iraq and fight for us! If they care about us sooo much, they'll do it. They'll risk their lives for this wonderful country. They'll give up the tacos, free benefits, and et cetera to fight for "their" new homeland. That's the best way to show "their" American pride. Way to go. Kudos!
Another incident that proves these fuckers are no good: Houston Police Department Officer Rodney Johnson arrested a Mexican fuckface named Quintero and, of course, placed him in the back of the police car. Somehow, this illegal fucker was able to bring his hands to the front, grab a gun, and shoot the officer four times in the head. This dude also had a previous criminal record that contained three offences; one included indecency with a child. He was deported back to Mexico (you know, his actual homeland) in 1999. May he stay there for good.
The biggest myth about these illegal bastards is that they do the jobs Americans won't do. Fuck that! They don't do the jobs Americans won't do; they do the exact same jobs Americans do at dirt cheap wages. This is, of course, better for the government, seeing as it is being run by a bunch of CHEAP OILIONAIRE BASTARDS that don't GIVE A DAMN! So, these stupidass government jackoffs hire these dumb bastards so they'll do the exact same jobs Americans do at ass-low wages. This is the same for outsourcing. You cheap, stupid fucking bastards! Have a heart!
Another myth: we need these fuckers to balance our economy. No, we don't! Matter of fact, they're screwing our economy up. They're taking the jobs that the 18 million unemployed Americans are in desperate need of. We, as American citizens, don't need them for our economy; the CEO's of these stupid richass companies are the people that depend on Mexicans to do jobs at ass-low wages. It's kind of pathetic cause these Mexican people are getting ripped the fuck off! Stupid CEO jackasses! I hope these fuckers get hit by a bigass semi in the middle of the night.
Also, Mexico is not as poor of a country as people make it seem. They actually have more resources per square mile than the United States. They also have plenty of money for themselves. Of course, they can't afford to spread money around the world, but they have enough money for themselves. Settle for that! Let each country take care of itself. Simple as that, really.
We spend approximately $3 billion dollars a year to support these fuckers, whether it goes toward food stamps, medicare, medicaid -- all that good shit. What's pathetic about this is that these fuckers have absolutely no respect for America. It saddens me that we are actually spending billions of dollars to take care of these fuckers when they have no respect for us. How do they have no respect, you ask? Well, they're coming here ILLEGALLY, for starters. They're also trying to have *OUR* national anthem translated into SPANISH, or should I say...Espanol? That fucking kills me! If you love this country so damn much, learn the fucking language! That's the least you people can do, really! If you're gonna make the effort to come over here, LEARN THE DAMN LANGUAGE, YOU FUCKERS. And our anthem is, and should forever be, sung in English. Get the fuck over it, you stupid jerkoffs.
Oh, and don't even THINK about giving me BULLSHIT like: "YOU IMMIGRANT, TOO! YOU COME FROM 'NOTHER COUNTRY! EVERYONE IN 'MERICA IS IMMIGRANT!" Of course, YOU STUPID JERKOFF! Point is, our ancestors came here LEGALLY. My great-grandfather immigrated here from Italy in 1890-something. You know what makes him different from you stupid jackasses? HE HAD RESPECT FOR THE COUNTRY. HE ALSO CAME HERE LEGALLY. When people arrived here back then, they fucking KISSED THE GROUND! They had the upmost respect for this country and they felt privileged to be Americans. They didn't come here as if we OWED them something for coming here; they came here and thanked America for all her wonderful opportunities! So don't even THINK about comparing OUR *LEGAL* ancestors to your ILLEGAL asses. There IS no comparison, end of fucking story.
In closing, I would like to remind you that I have no problem with the legal fuckers. These people are okay, seriously. I don't really give a shit if you come here, as long as you respect the laws of America and do it legally. I also recommend learning English; it'll save both you and us a lot of time and trouble. That's not too much to ask for, now is it?

Rant 08 - Argumental People
Now, don't get me wrong: I think it is healthy to argue and debate once in a while. I believe that if you don't feel right about something, you should speak up about it. What kills me is the people that abuse this action. You know, the people that will start an argument over anything they can. I, personally, think it is really stupid to argue over shit that doesn't even matter, or to argue for the sake of arguing. These stupidasses that dig up shit to argue about really piss me off! It's as if they have nothing better to do with their lives, so they decide to start an argument with someone over something stupid. Say someone said the sky was blue. The argumental dipshit would have to come back and say something stupid like: "No, it's not. It's sky blue." Well...what the fuck? Close enough! They both have blue roots; leave it alone! If you absolutely have to argue over something, make it something that's actually worth arguing over! Another thing that pisses me off: people who argue about religion. My advice: LEAVE RELIGION OUT OF IT. I've lost more friendships this way than in any other, and I think it's stupid that people can't leave religion the fuck alone. Everyone has their own religious beliefs, and just about everyone feels strongly about them. Chances are, your arguing is not going to change anyone's ideas and beliefs; deal with it. Leave religion out of the picture. It's for your own good, really. People who argue over opinions piss me off the most. Everyone has an opinion. Of course, healthy debates should be welcome, but for God's sake, don't get so touchy! Debating is a healthy way to explore new ideas and learn while arguing over an opinion is just plain stupid. As Billie Joe Armstrong once stated, opinions are like assholes: everyone has one. This is basically the same deal with religion. Everyone has opinions, everyone feels strongly about their opinions, so chances are, you won't make them change their minds. Just get over it and move on. Find something else to argue over. As a "rantist," I know all about arguing over opinions. Almost all of my rants consist of nothing but opinions. I hate it when people bitch at each other for two fucking hours over one person's opinion, and they end up hating each other's guts over it! Well, personally, I don't give two shits what you think about me or my opinions. Like what I have to say? That's just peachy and perfect. Don't like it? Fuck it. Not my problem. I'm expressing my opinions here, and since I live in America, I should be able to do so without getting bitched at. Another type of argumental person I can't stand: people who argue over who has the best whatever. Just when you thought you had the lowest human life form chosen, along come these low-life bastards. Get the fuck over yourselves, you stupidasses! Besides, the better the shit is that you have, the more likely it is for you to get robbed. Remember that, folks. Okay, I guess my work here is done for now.
Rant 07 - L33T SP34K and Cht Spk
L33T SP34K and Cht Spk. Don't get me fucking started on this topic! Chat speak gets annoying really quickly, and l33t sp34k is a fucking waste of time. I mean, what the fuck?! Mixing in letters with numbers to make a word makes you look like a stupid, uneducated moron (which, most people that use this type of language probably are, in fact, stupid, uneducated morons.) Ever heard of typing like a human and not an ape?! Seriously! And people wonder why kids always fail at making essays and well-organized compositions. There's your answer. Now I'll admit it: I'm guilty of using an occasional "lol" or "lmao," but I wouldn't even ATTEMPT to use leet speak. It's annoying! Plus, when I'm writing a composition or essay for school, I'm at least smart enough to leave the chat and leet speak out of it. I don't say "lol" or "lmao" or "OMG SRSLY?!" in my essays. And yes, there are actually kids out there that use these terms in their essays for school! Hard to believe, huh? There's a time to be serious and there's a time to be more loose. Instant Messaging is when you can speak more loosely, but when writing an essay for school, try to at least ACT more maturely. Leave the chat and leet speak out of it. Also, have you noticed how many acronyms there actually are for chat speak?! I mean, "lol" and "lmao" are enough for me. Let's see, you have: 143 = I love you (I would have NEVER guessed that) 4COL = For crying out loud (Oh, check that out...leet speak AND chat speak combined) AEAP = As early as possible (Come on, that didn't take too long to type out) AFK = Away from keyboard (Then how'd you type that acronym, you dumb fucker?) BBT = Be back tomorrow BCNU = Be seeing you (That's just stupid.) BDN = Big darn number (Dead...serious.) BYOB = Bring your own beer (That's a nice one.) DV8 = Deviate (I could type "deviate" faster than "DV8".) EZY = Easy FTBOMH = From the bottom of my heart FUBAR = Fouled up beyond all recognition (Whoever made that one up needs a hard bitch slap across the face.) G9 = Genius (What the fuck does "G9" have to do with "genius"?) GMBO = Giggling my butt off (Stupidass.) GRL = Girl (Come on, you stupidass! You were one letter away from just typing the actual word!) IANAL = I am not a lawyer (Stupid jackass.) IGP = I got to go pee (Dead serious. Who the fuck...?!) IMS = I am sorry (If someone apologized to me by saying "IMS," I'd tell them to shove their apology and their computer up their ass and come back once they've completed a course in Mavic Beacon Teaches Typing.) j00r = Your (STUPID JACKASS!) K8T = Katie (Oh, dear God. Don't tell me they've started making these fucking things for NAMES.) KISS = Keep it simple, stupid LGH = Let's get high (That's a nice one.) MEGO = My eyes glaze over (Hmm, wonder why.) NIFOC = Naked in front of computer (Well, who wants to know that?! Just a tip: If someone asks you if you're naked in front of your computer, tell them to fuck themselves and block them immediately. I'd also inform Chris Hanson from To Catch a Predator.) OMGYG2BK = Oh my God, you got to be kidding ROTFLUTS = Rolling on the floor laughing, unable to speak SRSLY = Seriously (This one annoys me so fucking much.) SWMBO = She who must be obeyed (What the fuck?) T+ = Think positive ^URS = Up yours WDALYIC = Who died and left you in charge WYSIWYG = What you see is what you get YWHNB = Yes, we have no bananas And there are a TON more, too. I just selected the ones that were especially stupid. First off, what kind of MORON would actually memorize all of those?! (And NO, I didn't memorize those; I found them on a website.) Then, there's the LEET SPEAK. I found a fucking website that is, appropriately enough, named "transl8it." (www.transl8it.com.) So, here is an example of leet speak: DIS iz an exmpl of l337 spk. som of it iz understandable, bt itz mo anoyN thN NEthing. In case you couldn't understand that, my original sentence was: "This is an example of leet speak. Some of it is understandable, but it's more annoying than anything." It's beyond annoying, and it's really, really stupid. Who would actually talk like that?! Anyways, I guess I've ranted enough about this. To sum it all up: STOP USING SO MUCH LEET SPEAK AND CHAT SPEAK! It does not make you look cool; it makes you look annoying and stupid.
Rant 06 - Drug Abusers
Drug abusers. These people piss me off to no end! First off, what they're doing is illegal. They're breaking the fucking law. They must be pretty brave to go out into the streets at night and sell shit to someone who could actually be an undercover officer. Same thing for prostitution, but I'll just stick to ranting about drug abusers and dealers for the moment. I guess these people are so fucking hyped up on crack or cocaine or the drug of their choice, which makes them feel invincible and superior to the law and anything or anyone else. Stop fucking dealing drugs to make a living and get a fucking job like the rest of us! Toughen up, go out there, and get a job. Work till you retire like the rest of us have to; you're no better than us, people. Drug abusers also have no concept of reality. They take their blessed drugs so they don't have to face the world and deal with their problems. This is kind of like cutting, in a way. Cutting releases endorphins that relax you and make you feel as if the whole world and the problems contained in it have just disappeared. Cutting is a way to run away from your problems. Drugs are, too. The two go hand in hand, really, although cutting isn't illegal. Anyways, back to drug dealing. These stupidassed drug abusers need to wake up, get into therapy or whatever, begin dealing with their problems like the rest of the world, and live life. And don't give me this bullshit like, "OHMYGOD I HAD A BAD DAY, THOUGH!" Well, so has the rest of the world! It's a concept called life. DEAL WITH IT. Stop being a pansy-assed idiot and deal with your fucking problems instead of sticking the fucking needle in your arm. Grow up and act more like an adult, for God's sake. And don't even get me started about the peer pressure bullshit. "OHMYGOD BUT IT'S COOL TO DO DRUGS! ALL MY FRIENDS ARE DOING IT AND THEY'RE FINE! AHHH!!" Fuck that up the ass with a backgammon table! If a bunch of my friends want to go fuck up their lives by smoking thirty joints at a time just to see if they'd pass out on the floor and wake up the next morning and miraculously SURVIVE, then they can have the fuck at it! They can knock themselves out...literally! I'm not gonna take such a stupid risk, because unlike them, I have made plans for a relatively nice future and don't want them to be disrupted by my so-called 'friends' that are so fucking stupid and are so fucking unsure about themselves and what they're doing that they have to try to bring me down to their level of patheticness so they won't feel so badly about themselves. Well, they should feel badly about themselves because what they're doing is stupid, end of story! So fuck the peer pressure. That's a really stupid excuse to do drugs. Now, after someone takes drugs after such a long period of time, they'll eventually get hooked. Then the now drug addicts will piss and moan about how they haven't quite had their FIX. Well fuck that. Your weak will power that got you hooked in the FIRST FUCKING PLACE is not my damn problem. Stop pissing and moaning about it to me. If you don't take drugs in the first place, it's impossible to get hooked in the second place. It's a bigass chain reaction. Don't take drugs in the first place, simple as that. And if you do take drugs in the first place, then getting hooked is your own damn problem and people should not feel sorry for you PERIOD. It's your own fault. It's not like you caught some weirdass tropical disease that couldn't have been prevented. You got addicted on your own terms. Deal with the consequences of your choice to do drugs. Furthermore, if these drug dealers used their drug-dealing time to do something constructive such as planning lives for themselves, I think they'd have quite decent lives. I know drugs are a huge problem and that more and more people are getting hooked, but that doesn't mean you should follow their footsteps. That's really stupid. Don't give in to peer pressure and stay away from drugs so you can't get hooked. Simple as that.
Rant 05 - Country Music
Country Music. Has anyone else noticed that country music is, like, the country, twangy version of emo? Seriously, take away the ridiculously stupid, big hat, the stupid cowboy leather boots, and the spiky things attached to their boots that are ridiculously loud and you have an emo dude! Both types of people are depressed and write really stupid songs about their feelings. Country and emo are almost like cousins. Now, I'll admit it: there are a few country songs I don't really mind. A few. Most country music really does annoy me. I like the kind of country music that you can't even tell is country. The kind of country music I can't stand is the pathetic, twangy, whiney crap. Take this song, for instance. I heard this song on the radio once and I laughed really, really long and hard at it. Check out the lyrics to the chorus: She only smokes when she drinks
She only drinks now and then
Now and then when she's tired
Of being let down by men
You can give her a light
But it's not what you think
Everybody knows she only drinks alone
And she only smokes when she drinks. The only thing that is more retarded than that is the actual title of the song, which is, you guessed it, "She Only Smokes When She Drinks." Bravo at that one, Joe Nichols. You deserve a grammy for that brilliant song title alone. You know, now that I actually think about it, country music artists also resemble Mexicans, too. Not in musical terms, of course, but because of their hats. If the fucking things had some kind of pattern on them and if they were just a wee bit larger, you could mistake them for sombreros. Yeah, I can just picture Lee Ann Womack in some swanky Latin dress while playing the maracas and dancing around a bigass sombrero just laying in the floor. Funny mental pictures there. Point is, most country lyrics are too whiney and babyfied. Oh, and don't even get me started on Rascal Flatts. Now, I don't mind this band's lyrics as much as I do most other country music artists'. At least their lyrics have a little more taste than those mentioned above. Take their song "My Wish," for instance. The chorus says: My wish for you is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things, too
Yeah, this is my wish. Still a little on the cheesy, twangy side for my taste, but it's a huge improvement from the other country song I gave an excerpt from. Personally, I think the lead singer dude's voice is a little...well, twangy? Or whatever. But yeah, that's just me. I guess someone who is into country could really get into their music. Now, in honor of country music, I'll end this rant by saying goodbye -- country style. Goodbye, easier said than done
Goodbye,
There's no good when you're the one
Whose goodbye you swore would never come
And in my goodbye you're finding none.
...what does that even mean?
Rant 04 - Perfume-Selling Women On TV
Note: This is a light-hearted rant that is intended more for laughs than anything else.
Perfume-Selling Women On TV. Some people just really amuse me. Among these people are women who actually advertise their "great-smelling" perfume on TV. It's like they think people can use their imaginations to magically realize that their perfume is the best smelling crap. Ever. So, some really demented person will watch this saleswoman bathe in her wonderful, great-sented product and will be all: "OH MY GOD I GOTTA HAVE IT!" So, they pick up the phone and order the shit that costs, like, eighty dollars for a fucking four ounce bottle that ends up smelling like a skunk's ass! And WHAM, that's eighty bucks down the drain. Way to go. Not only that, but notice that most of these perfume-selling women: 1) are over fifty and could actually retire if they wanted 2) overdo their makeup 3) obviously have had botox done 4) they dye their hair. Oh, and, truth be told, they were a choke-worthy amount of their own perfume to advertise the shit. I don't know about you, but when I smell a God-awful amount of perfume at once, I am instantly turned against the shit and would pay to avoid it. If you want to advertise your shit, set up little stands outside of Bath and Body Works, provide testers for people to use, and make sure you leave plenty of breathing room for your potential customers since most perfume is strong. AND SPEAKING OF TESTERS, what the hell is up with these people that corrode an aisle in a store and spray the perfume testers all over themselves?! Isn't that almost like stealing?! Yeah, I know testers are there to use and all that shit, but good God, one or two squirts is enough! You're not supposed to squirt enough to last you for five or six days; you're supposed to squirt enough for you to decide whether or not you care for the scent so you can decide whether or not you want to buy it. There are other customers, folks; be thoughtful. Alright, so to sum up this ever pointless rant, be nice when squirting testers all over yourself, don't try to sell perfume on television, and be kind when applying your perfume. Don't over-do it so you choke yourself and those around you.
Rant 03 - Proselytizers and Church Goers
Proselytizers and church goers. I, for one, cannot stand proselytizers. You know, the pathetic morons that shove their religion down your throat. These people kill me. All they talk about is church, getting saved, and how you are gonna go to hell if you don't come to their church. There are several reasons why I am against going to a church; I'll get to those in a minute. What kills me about proselytizers and most church goers is that they do the exact opposite of what they go around preaching. Also, they tend to change the rules to fit their standards. For example, the "lesson of the week" or whatever could be about how gossiping is wrong. Guess what 99% of church goers do after church? They gossip. Of course, it is perfectly fine if they gossip because they have been saved and have a place in heaven reserved for them. They're so totally different than me. I have absolutely no right to gossip because I haven't been saved. I am going to go to hell. I hate to burst your bubble, but you are being hypocrites, and from what I understand, God doesn't exactly reward hypocrites. I'm not saying I am better than any of these church goers; I'm just saying that they are no better than me. We are all equal. Remember that. Another point about proselytizers is that they go around saying that they try to follow Jesus' footsteps. They always point out that we're supposed to be exactly like Him. Well then, answer me this: why do you people go around shoving your religion down peoples' throats? I doubt Jesus did that. Not only that, but you people tend to look down on people that do not follow your religion. You talk about them behind their backs (which, let's be honest, that is what most church-goers are best at). You think they are the scum in the bottom of the sea. Oh yeah, I'm sure that is what Jesus did. He cared for no one but His followers. That is how He wants us to be. Nah, I don't think so. Furthermore, I think the whole purpose of church is for everyone to get together, show off their cute, expensive Sunday clothes to one another, and to, of course, gossip. Church is seen as a big social gathering every Sunday and Wednesday. I think that's nothing more than total bull. You know, back in the Biblical days, "church" didn't exist. You know what those people did? They went to each other's homes and they actually studied the Bible together. They didn't gossip, fight, or talk about one another; they simply formed an assembly and they learned together. That is what should happen in church, but, of course, it doesn't. Another thing: have you ever noticed how churches tend to compete with one another? They're worse than politicians, I swear. The pastors of the churches will meet, shake hands, and smile, but you know in their heads they are bad-mouthing each other and calling each other "bad names." Not only that, but there are too damn many churches out there! I think one per twenty miles is good enough. I have a question, too. Where, in the Bible, does it say to get together every Sunday (or Wednesday, for that matter)? From what I read, the Bible states the seventh day of the week is when the Sabbath is. Okay, so, in kindergarten, I learned that the first day of the week is Sunday. So that's: Sunday = 1 Monday = 2 Tuesday = 3 Wednesday = 4 Thursday = 5 Friday = 6 Saturday = 7 Hello, people?! Wake up! Oh, but you know these people will come back and say, "IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT DAY WE WORSHIP, AS LONG AS WE WORSHIP ONCE A WEEK!" Well, excuse my language, but fuck that. Applying that same rule, wouldn't that mean that I could celebrate Jesus' birthday on the twenty-fifth of April? I mean, as long as I celebrate it once a year, why does it matter? See? It's screwed up. Also, notice something. You never really see Jewish rabbis proselytize. I'm not being racist or anything, but seriously, you never really see Jewish rabbis going around on the streets wearing that beanie thing on their head, screaming, "HEY! YOU, WITH THE FACE! GET OVER HERE SO I CAN READ YOU SCRIPTURES FROM THE TORAH!" I can't see that happening period. Rabbis seem to always be there if you have a question about the Bible or God or anything relating to religious matters. They don't force you into anything. I admire that in them. Now I, personally, don't follow a specific religion, so you can't say this is bias. I'm just pointing out some of the things I've noticed about one of the most popular religions in the US: Christianity. It seems to me that most of these people see church as a place to gather and gossip every Sunday and Wednesday rather than a place to learn about God. Most Christians are like that, too; there is no denying it. Unfortunately, trying to battle this issue is a lost cause because most Christians are very close-minded and will not entertain new ideas. They would rather follow tradition instead. I guess all you can say is, "Oh, well."
Rant 02 - "Emo" Kids and Cutting
NOTE: This rant will be extremely offensive to some people. Read at your own risk. Emo Kids. Okay, honestly, I don't get these kids. They cut, they have the emo clone hair thing going on, and they whine constantly. I'm sure some of these kids actually do have rough lives, but I've noticed most of these kids act all "emo" simply to fit in. It's like they fake a screwed up stereotype just to avoid being labeled a "prep" or whatever. It's harmless until these kids start cutting. When kids cut, they invite germs, bacteria, etc. to enter their bodies easily. I honestly don't know why these kids cut in the first place. Do they use it as a coping mechanism? If they do, they need to stop acting like dumbasses and find other ways to cope. Talk with someone. Take up knitting. Write about your feelings by starting a diary or writing poetry. There are alternatives to cutting, kids! And don't get all defensive about cutting, either. It's screwed up, end of story. And don't give me this bullshit like "OHHH YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M GOING THROUGH!" and other stupid, idiotic bullshit. Almost every teen claims to have a rough life and everyone has problems. You know how I deal with my problems? I work through them. I don’t sit around, piss, and moan about them; I confront them and work through them. I always have and I always will. I don't cut! Also, don't give me the bullshit about how DIFFERENT PEOPLE cope in DIFFERENT WAYS. Fuck that up the ass with a bag of Doritos. Cutting is not the solution for anything. Self-mutilation is only harming you. It is not helping you cope with bullshit. If you *NEED* to cope by hurting yourself, then do it the right way and take the little razorblade, and run it right across your neck. Do it right, not half-assed. Harsh? No. These kids need a wake-up call before they end up really hurting themselves. Most of their parents don't even know that they cut. They'd be shocked to know that their little happy girl Suzie actually harms herself just to see the blood pour out of her skin, reflecting on how badly her life is screwed up and how she has nothing to live for because her 15-year-old boyfriend broke up with her and that is the worst pain *EVER*. Kids, if you cut, stop cutting immediately. Tell a parent. Talk to someone about it. Get into therapy. It will help you more than cutting will, I swear. You'll thank yourselves when you get out of your teenage years, too. The teenage years are tough, I know. You have to learn how to deal with your problems by using a method that doesn't harm yourself. Talk to someone you can trust. Write about your feelings. Take up a hobby. Do community service and help others. Do something that will be productive and effective; not hurtful and destructive! Wow, where do I even start with this rant? First off, teenage girls should NOT be having sex in the first place. Why? Because, number one, guys at this age are freaking moronic. No joke. Honest to God, these teenage boys have one thing and ONLY one thing on their minds: SEX. This usually gets worse over the years, but I will keep my rant contained to the teenage years.
Usually, when a guy becomes a teenager, he will get to know about the, let’s say, equipment God ever so kindly blessed him with. Well, seeing as this dude is, well, a dude, he sees the need to talk about it 24/7, and to use this "equipment" every chance he gets. He decides that he can’t keep his ORGANS to HIMSELF and so he goes out and BEGS his girlfriend for sex. He’ll even threaten to break up with her if she doesn’t have sex with him. So, of course, many girls at this age are TERRIFIED to lose a boyfriend because, well, that’s the WORST PAIN EVER. [/sarcasm] So, the girl will sleep with the guy and will not use protection.
Now, these teenagers that use protection, they’re somewhat better, but I still think they’re dumbasses that need to kick up the wisdom and knock out the hormones. Sure, protection will, well, protect you from getting pregnant and catching God-awful diseases, but still yet, I don’t believe teenagers are developed enough mentally to go out and have sex for the first time. Your first time is your own decision, but a word of advice: don’t have sex for the first time until you are fully developed physically AND mentally, have found a guy that will treat you right, and are aware that there is a slim chance that you could, in fact, become pregnant.
Now, in closing this terribly long rant, I would like to say that if you just happen to be a teenage girl who just happens to have a boyfriend that is harassing you about having sex and is threatening to break up with you if you don’t sleep with him, let the bastard go. If he loves you that much, he should be willing to wait until you are comfortable. He should be willing to put your happiness before his hormones and "urges." | | |
| For those of you that do not know, I rant in my free time. I find that ranting is a great way to express your opinions, and to hear the ideas of others as well. However, I feel it is necessary to create a "disclaimer" before I post any of my rants on here.
First off, my rants are usually 100% my opinion. If you don't like what I have to say, fine. Rant in your own blog. I doubt many people will read my blogs, anyway. I write rants in my free time regardless of whether or not they will have readers. I rant for the self-satisfaction of ranting.
Secondly, my rants are not created to start arguments. As mentioned before, I write my rants as if they will have no readers. If you like what I have to say, that's great. If you don't, then for God's sake, don't bitch at me. There is a difference between calmly discussing an issue and fighting over an opinion. That's just stupid.
Why did I create this disclaimer? Because one time, I posted one of my rants on another website and it caused a lot of chaos over one little sentence I said. I was merely stating an opinion, and someone blew things out of proportion and raised holy hell about it. She basically claimed that selling and doing drugs is legitimate, when, obviously, it is illegal and should not be attempted under any circumstances. I will probably end up writing a rant about drug-dealers, just bear with me.
With my rants, I offer you my opinions. I do welcome your comments on my rants, and I appreciate them. I am open-minded and will consider your point of view.
No one will read this, probably, but I figured I would write a little disclaimer anyways. Please remember these conditions while reading one of my rants. Thank you. | | |
