January Annoyances.

Every January has the same group of annoyances that pop up. There seems to be little reason for these things to happen, but they seem to be part of an extended new years ritual that doesn't seem to end till midway through February. Each year they happen and slowly fade away. If such is their fate, why must they come up at all?

People that pay for a year long gym membership and only use if for a few weeks make working out a pain. They clog the parking lot, crowd the gym. Most of them aren't even working out, they are sitting on a machine without actually using it. Men and women are both guilty of this, but have slightly different habits. The men come for two weeks, and then bullshit themselves into thinking they are in shape and stop going. Women keep going till Valentines Day, at which point they stop. Why do these people bother? They are throwing away money, and just making it harder for people that really do give a damn about working out.

Then there are the people that swear off drinking after waking up hungover on New Year's Day. Most of them make it a week, then the weekend hits and they hit the bottle. It wouldn't be so bad, but these people for that week are very vocal about there newly found (and very short lived) teetotalism. They all seem to be on a high horse about not drinking, but never want to hear about it again when happy hour hits on Friday. If these people were smart, they would know the cure for hangovers is not no more booze, but having a few more drinks that morning and then re-hydrating.

People not getting the date right. You are in line at a store, but in front of you is a middle aged woman that doesn't get enough attention. So she makes a big deal she just put the wrong date on her check. "Oops, its a new year. Do I need to write a new check, or can I cross out the date?", first she did this on purpose to get some human contact, secondly why doesn't she use a debit card? The answer being that if she used her debit card, she could feel like the center of attention for holding up the line.

January would be so nice, if it weren't for all the people. All the people, and all of their bullshit. Can't anyone just keep it to themselves?

End of the Year.

Christmas is over and the new year is coming. There is time enough for only one more post this year, and it is a double post of sorts. The first part is a list of the few things that didn't piss me off this year, and the other is a list of things I look forward too in the next year. Sorry for the large amount of lists lately, and sorry for the lack of rage in this post.


TOP FIVE THINGS THAT DIDN'T PISS ME OFF THIS YEAR

5. Starting this blog.

Finally a place for my insane rants to have a home.

4. Sluts

They are doing the lord's work.

3. The video game industry.

This was a great year in games. I won't bother to list them all, but no matter what you were into there was something great released for you. The only real disappointment was a certain Duke...

2. Conrad Murray.

A pedophile is dead, and that always makes me smile. Not sure  why he was on trial, seems like a parade would be more fitting for the public service he rendered.

1. The readers and followers of this blog.

Everyone that takes time to read this. I read every comment posted, and look forward to whatever feedback I get. It means a lot to see anyone reading this, thank you for coming and coming back.

TOP FIVE THINGS I WANT OUT OF NEXT YEAR

5. Break 100 Followers.

Tell your friends.

4. Find a job.

I NEED WORK!

3. New Venture Brothers.

Love that show, but the production time is getting me down.

2. Getting this years games cheap on Steam.

Just need to wait for the Summer Sale...

1. Cash a check from Google.

I think most of the people here share this dream.
