The stupidity of people astounds me.

Sunday, July 16th, 2006

I’m not sure how exactly to approach this subject.  There’s pages on IAM I probably don’t want to mention by name because I’m sure if they ever found my page they’d find me offensive.  Maybe I am offensive, but I sure as hell can’t hide the fact I think the people who own these pages can be the dumbest people on the face of the planet.

Well anyways, onto rant number one.  One person falls for another person, problem being one lives in Europe while one lives in North America.  They’ve got great plans for this that and the other, which will include obviously becoming a non-long-distance-relationship by having one move to the other’s country and starting a new life.

But why the fuck are you writing about how you want to move, because you can’t bear to be apart from them, if you also can’t live with them nor support yourself?  Is it so bloody difficult to know that you should have either a job, or a place to live secured before you decide to move yourself to a new location?  I guess that’s general enough anyways.

Rant number two.  Anyone who reads the forums that I read will likely know who on earth I’m talking about.  Guy gets offered the chance to do some porn, which he is excited about.  If he’s excited because it’s the chance to have some NSA sex with random girls, the idea of it being videotaped, or just the whole encompassing experience of “OMG I was in a porn!” either way, dude is excited.  Problem being dude seems to have a wife, my theory is it’s a wife he likely loves and cares for.  Also problem is that this wife is likely to say “NO FUCKING WAY” to dude’s request to go off and do all this porn with strangers.

Now why are you asking for help from an online community who’s never met you nor your wife? Shouldn’t this be a discussion between the two of you, not him and the rest of the world?  I can make a pretty educated guess that this relationship is supposed to be monogamous considering the “I don’t think my wife will want me to do this” which of course is coupled with the “But I really want to, so I need a good reason for why I want to”

Like… if “doing it behind her back” isn’t an option, and you value your wife’s opinion, then why are you getting strangers to convince the person you vowed your love to, to go and bang someone else?

Am I the only one who’s frustrated by this?  There’s too many freaking variables here.

  • I love my wife.
  • I care about my wife’s opinion.
  • I need my wife’s approval.

Is countered by:

  • I was offered to do this porn.
  • I want to do this porn.
  • I need a way to convince my wife, who likely won’t want me to, that this porn is good.

Maybe I’m just irritated by irrational fucks and greedy fucking bastards that I find such things disgusting.

Erm…. right dad.

Yes.  I went to a show Friday night.  I arrived at home Saturday morning.  At 4am.  My dad’s in a fishing tournment so he’s leaving now that it’s about 4:30am.  I went to get something out of my car (a parking ticket I desperately need to pay off) and my dad asked me if I was going out again.

Right.  Because there’s so many places to go at 4 in the fucking morning.

My dad is freaking hilarious.

I come rolling in at 4am from a show that finished at like… 2? and when I get something out of my car at 4:30, my dad is asking if I'm going out again. Oh, and I have to go bike-part window shopping, and to the Toronto Islands when I wake up too. And I can't sleep right now.

This time last year…

I was in utter shock, after having my phone ring at work, and to be told Keith Alexander (www.keithalexander.com) died.

To say “I miss you” isn’t saying enough. I’m sorry I never got to know you.

Ex coworkers, button makers and town meetings.

This is likely a multi-part dream, I’ll post what I remember from it.

I’m at the office where I used to work, but the office is different.  My coworker (who still works there) was in on this, as well as some random large man I don’t know who reminded me of a bouncer or security guard.  The coworker Evelyn was wondering if anyone was using former coworker Valerie’s old office (who quit soon after I started, who didn’t have an actual office).  The office seemed to be an attachment sunroom type of office blocked off from the main office and was left untouched for the past year.  The bouncer type guy who’s name I don’t recall was like “Yes, and the button maker’s probably still in there too” (I’ve been on the market for a button maker” and got mad at everyone for not telling me there was one readily available.

I go into this office, and grab the button maker, which was an odd contraption, which included having the pieces seemingly preloaded into it for probably 10 or more buttons, which required a wheel to spin forwards (similar to a microsope) to make a button, which also if spun backwards seemed to unmake buttons.  The button designs that were already loaded into this button maker reminded me of the kids club logos from BMEzine.com.

I took this button maker to some sort of town meeting.  I was making some buttons and unmaking some others to save the parts while sitting on the floor of a giant school gym with loads of other people in kind of groups but in rows at the same time.  They were handing out something at first but I can’t remember what, then they were handing out small boxes of chocolate that seemed to have a christmas theme to it.  One lady who was offered a normal rectangular box shaped box, refused it at first saying she only wanted a flat box, when they told her it was flat, she amended it to say “anything but a flat box” but that was all that was left.

In the end I somehow ended up with two boxes of chocolate.  One was assorted chocolates, while the other was blueberries covered in chocolate.  And I remember lollipops being thrown into the crowds as well.

That’s about it!
