Flipping The Bird

I could never understand what was so great about this. Who are they telling to fuck off? The people that buy their albums? The Photographer?

Are they trying to make a statement. What is the point of it. It’s not just celebrities. I see regular people doing it also. It’s really not cool, it’s stupid.

The Cell Phone

I’m probably one of the last people to get a cell phone. I kept putting it off cause I’m not on the phone that much and don’t text much.

I got a flip phone. The new flip phone I got has a camera in it. I never use it. I’m not the selfie type.

Today  I went out and forgot my cell phone. I freaked out. My main concern is breaking down with the car. What if I break down? I’ll call AAA. Wait, I left my phone at home. Now I’m screwed.

Now I realize that a cell phone is a big help. Just in case you have to call for help.

Stupid People On The Radio

I know, there’s a bunch of them. If you don’t agree with them, they’re stupid.

But some people are real stupid. I’m listening to the college radio station in my car before. A talk show starts and the guy is talking about the Presidential election and how he’s trying to make sense out of it. Dude, if you can’t figure this out by now there’s no hope for you. He goes on to say how he listens to MSNBS and CNN and every once in awhile he’ll checkout FOX. Then he goes on to say that FOX is the problem cause they agree with Trump and defend him all the time.

I have no problem with that. He’s right. You know what FOX is. A right wing channel. What this guy fails to realize, and what bugs me is that MSNBC and CNN are left channels. He thinks they’re down the middle.

These channels aren’t news channels. They’re entertainment channels. They say a little of the news then comment on them for your entertainment.

As long as you see this, you’re fine. If you hate one channel and love the other, you got problems.

The Supermarket Horrors

Going food shopping by me is always an adventure. First you get these ladies in the parking lot who don’t know how to drive. They’ll try to squeeze into a small spot while blocking traffic. The entire other side of the parking aisle will be empty, but they have to squeeze into that little spot because it’s one space closer to the store.

Then walking into the store I run into people I call “The Wanderers.” These are people that have no concept that there’s other people around. They’ll just backup into you. Cut you off when you’re trying to walk past them. The best part, after they bump into you, they just ignore you and keep on walking waiting to get their next victim.

Now we come to my favorite. The parents that won’t control their kids. They’re always right in front of me and won’t let me pass. After waiting for an opening to pass, and saying excuse me fifty time, I just ram through. Lookout motherfuckers, here I come. So I say, I’ll skip the next aisle so I don’t run into them. I go down two aisles over, and there they are. Like they read my mind. Why didn’t they go down the next aisle and how did they get there before me. Is there a shortcut through the shelves. No way they should have got there before me, but there they are. Blocking everybody and destroy the store.

 

Alright, I’ll got and get cold cuts. Wouldn’t you know it, they have the number right before me. How do they manage to get right before me before I get there. It’s like the Twilight Zone. I expect to walk past Rod Serling and see him talking into cameras commenting on my personal hell.

Manage Your Following Blogs

Yesterday I deleted some of the blogs I follow because I seen they haven’t posted much, or at all.

WordPress makes they very hard to do. You have to go to your “Following” list and hit each blog to see when was the last time they posted. An easier way for WordPress to do this is to have the have the date of the blog’s last post.

This way all you have to do is look at the list. You see they haven’t posted in two years, you know you can delete them. Fast and easy.

Verizon Phone Bill

I got my phone bill today. My phone calls came out to under four dollars and my entire bill was for sixty five dollars.

Only extra I have is an unlisted number and I pay for phone line maintenance. I don’t understand whey I have to pay for phone line maintenance. If I’m paying to use the phone, they should make sure I’m hooked up to it. If there’s something wrong with the line, they should fix it so I can use the service I’m paying for.

I’ve been meaning to dump my home phone for some time. But there’s something in the back of my head saying if something goes wrong with my cell phone, I’m screwed. Even though, on the cell, I pay only twenty dollars a month for unlimited calls and 500 text.

Once I get over this blockage in my head, I’m dumping the home phone.

Food Discount Cards

Pathmark and Waldbaums did away with their discount cards. Now you get savings without the card.

I have mixed feelings about this. Good thing is I don’t have to carry around the cards anymore. Bad thing is everybody will get the discount now. I used to feel special when I had the card. If the person in front of me didn’t have the card, they would par full price. I’d be thinking “sucker.” While they were bagging they stuff and I was paying, the cashier would say, “do you have your card.” Give her my card, she would swipe it and say, you saved $11.50.” I’d be thinking, that idiot paid full price and I saved money. Now that satisfaction is gone. We’re all equal.
