Ramblings of a Normal Guy: Bullies

Welcome to another addition of ramblings of a normal guy. This is my special column, where I go off on wild rants complaining about the things that happen and effect my (and ours) every day life. Because of the excessive amounts of stupidity that will be featured, a large amount of inappropriate language will most likely be used. Also expect a large helping of calling out and "I don't give a crap". Rated M for mature, and read at  your own risk.   

Do you remember what it was like to be in school? I’m not talking about the learning part; I’m talking about the life part here. Where you the super popular kid that everyone wanted to be around? Where you one of them fucktards that thought it was ok to pick on the people below you? Felt good being at the top of the social ladder and having everything you wanted eh? You know where all this got the shit head in my grade school? OD in the woods. And no, no one cares are remembers them now. Where you this type of person? Cause if you where, please jump in front of a truck, ill wait.

But maybe you weren't. Maybe you where the normie who just wanted to get a education and go home? Maybe the nerd who felt more comfort with a computer than a person? The social outcast who just couldn't get along with anyone? If is so, I would be happy to call you brother/sister, and if you are than watch the movie above.

Ramblings of a Normal Guy: Put your money where your mouth is.

EDIT:


When I first began this, it was in hope to actually speak with these people, to many get in there heads to understand why they do this. Do they really believe this stuff? Are they just so brainwashed, real world ethics just doesn't connect? Maybe they are just over zelious and we take it the wrong way. After about two weeks of pulling teeth and fighting to get these questions answered (by both twitter and email) all I really ever got back was "we don't read drivel" and "we don't click links". 

Swell....
 
Upon request I significantly shorten a few questions I was able to pick out and reply via twitter.Yesterday they finally started talking. I will update with a new blog once all seven questions are done.

People I have spoke too, or tried to contact: @godhatesu @TaySimone91 @WBCSteve @jaelphelpsVLPhelps @WBCVide


 
That’s kind of a funny expression, don’t you think? Considering the more interesting containments we have in our society today, why would you want any of them near your mouth? You would think, even back in the 1900’s, people would be a bit more health savvy. I would expect my friend Kyle to put anything in his mouth, but then again he does see the majority of the world as consumable products. Eh, I digress…

Ramblings of a Normal Guy: When freedom of speech goes too far..

The United States of America

It’s the land of the free, home of the brave and fatty foods that will make your head spin. We like fast cars, lots of explosions and anything we can get our greedy hands on. We will talk with strangers, and fight tooth and nail for anything we want. Sure, we don’t always make the right decisions, and we can be batshit insane too, but it’s my country and I love it. Yes I <3 America get over it. Within these great United States we have a thing called the bills of rights. The Bill of Rights is a series of limitations on the power of the United States federal government, protecting the natural rights of liberty and property including freedom of speech, a free press, free assembly, and free association, as well as the right to keep and bear arms.  The very first one (Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances) is the most important one of these bills. It allows us to speak our minds, and follow our own faith. Hell it's what this country was founded on! But when does this go too far? When does this freedom become not that, but a plague on all? Don’t get me wrong, I love a good protest.  People coming out in masses to preach, protect and call for things they truly believe in. Hell I think its America at its finest. But like all things, humans find a way to majorly fuck it up. 

Ramblings of a Normal Guy: Video Games and the idiots who (don’t) play them.

Ah video games. 

From your humble begins as paper and pencil (well games started there, video came later), how great have you become over the years. From 2bits to Blueray, from big ass cartridges to tiny disks, how many hours have I spent with thee? In a time when many tv’s were black and white and 6 channels, I can still remember a time being amazed at Tanks and playing it without end. I remember how my super awesome Atari could, and did, hold my attention for hours on end, much to the private relief of my parents. Flying over digitized cities, trying to save some bimbo from a monkey, even the annoying cabbage patch kids gave me hours of joy. Oh and btw, back in my day Mario was a bad guy, just saying… As time pasted, my love of games only grew, as did the systems we played them on. 

Ramblings of a Working Guy: What Parents should be

And why you see here is a rare sight of a parent giving a damn

No matter what field of work you are in, be it in the office building, a stall at the local mall, Best Buy or Walmart, a game room with hordes of children or street corner doing… whatever it is you do, there is always something that pisses you off.  Come my working class brothers and sisters; let us take some joy in the idiocy that is the source of our discontent, the customer.

So I'm just sitting here doing a whole lot of nothing, and you know what comes to mind? Is Lee doing well at work? I wonder if the new inventory will be in soon. Should I start on the list for myself and Lauryn now? Should I order more tickets? I wonder what Monday's reports will show about my various tweaks to the game room. How is the FEC doing? Should I ask Lisa for another meeting to throw around some more ideas? Maybe I should think of something to get us and the restaurant working more closely together? Oh crap, I need to visit three more day cares on Tuesday to make up for what I missed on Friday...

That's right its all about fracking(*1) work.

It's eleven at night, and all I can think about it is work. Where normal people would be watching TV, killing internet dragon or even sleeping, I am up worrying about a million different shit things. What is even worse is the fact I am ok with it. Despite all the complaints about the customers I have, I really love my job (mostly), and I don't mind the work. I’m a fracking horse, people. A horse. But living my life with a smile plastered to my face is making my teeth hurt, not to mention my soul and sanity, So like any other normal person, I need to bitch and moan sometimes to let off the steam. To many times we of the working class are treated as slaves and pets, all because someone with a dollar has a attitude.

Believe it or not, we do not give up our humanity when we put on a uniform. 

Yes I am a person, and you are too. But you know what? Today isn't about the million and one customers who need to burn like the sun, or be merrily thrown into traffic and laughed at. This is about a really cool story bro, and you know what really makes the cool stories? It's the customers that don't suck. The story of one such customer is what I want to share with you today.

Ramblings of a Normal Guy: Twilight

I knew that even before taking up this horrid, soul crushing burden, it would scar me for times to come. From the few stills and quick glimpses alone, anyone with half a brain could tell this was a disaster waiting to happen. Another glance at the Wikipedia entry almost convinced me to just kill myself to get out of it...

But what am I going on about? 

Today's rather depressing entry is about my experience of “you have to see it to prove yourself right, to justify yourself” type of things. After all, there are certain people who kept telling me to try it before you knock it, to actually see it first before I start bitching about it. But after I did, I found myself screaming to the heavens, begging for forgiveness for what ever sin I did to inflict such punishment on myself. Could there be no kind forgiving soul to tap some red lands and hit me with a lightning bolt? WRATH OF GOD EVEN! No one should have to suffer the way I did. The things I've seen, they can not be unseen.

 But now I can't hide it anymore.... I just can't keep this secret anymore. While the source of my discontent came from wanting to know the facts to back up the claim, some lines should never be crossed, and I did just that.

I watched Twilight.

Ramblings of a Normal Guy: Remember when movies where fun?

Yes, I love Harry Potter.

So today at work, while engaging in a whole lot of nothing, I found myself browsing the news section of Google and ThinkProgress. Most of what was there you can already guess, political bitching, first world problems, and Fox News pissing and moaning about the newest "end of the world" event that will destroy all of America. (ProTip from the future: We are all still here) But one story managed to catch my attention, and actually inspire this blog post for today. The author wrote about that "because of record low attendance and ticket sales, the movie industry has to reinvent itself in order to survive". Reasons for such lows where the economy, 3D movies and their over priced gimmicks. But that isn't want bothered me. It was actually a quote from Vincent Bruzzese of the Worldwide Motion Picture Group.
