Today I feel grouchy because this was one of those days when I was making screenshots and writing procedures and I realized that this was exactly why my twelve year old self did not want to get a computer, since I could see with an eerie prophetic certainty that I would end up as a PC tech and not becoming something more meaningful and useful to society, like, I don’t know, an astronomer or some sort of space scientist or a person who helps people around the world in some fashion (and NOT by resetting someone’s forgotten password at a Corporate location in Bangkok!). I think this means I should go back to school or find myself or something but I have a car to pay off and loans from earlier schooling to pay off and greed as well so I think I am doomed!

ANYWAY since I feel so nasty I thought I might was well run with it, here are thigns I hate and maybe why:

HOME DEPOT: Hi I hate going to you because you put good hardware places out of business for no reason since you end up having terrible and unhappy staff and run out of stuff all of the time and basically are one of the most unpleasant places in the world to be, aside from maybe Aldis or Sudan.

GAMESTOP: Hi also on this list are BABBAGES and ELECTRONICS BOUTIQUE because they are all owned by the same people or group or whatever.”Hey sell us your newly purchased games for five bucks so we can sell them for forty-five dollars!” Also we bundle shit and love to make people wait in frikin’ line and abuse the hell out of our customers and employees so badly you will wonder why you started playing games in the first place!

EMERYVILLE, CA: Let’s pave over a native shellmound and name the street “Shellmound” so as to pretend like we care about what we did! Then let’s build a bunch of strip malls and call it “the shopping center of the Bay Area” and then build condos right next to the strip malls so you to can pay (1 yr ago $750,000) $400,000 for the “privilege” of living next to Gamestop and Taco Bell and nonstop, awful traffic! Don’t even get me started on the retarded fakeness of “Emery Bay Shopping area” or whatever the brick-lined, faux small-town megashopping center is called. Also you suck, Emeryville, because inevitably I need to go to you once every two weeks for something from the Apple Store or Trader Joe’s or fucking Home Depot, god dammit.***However, Pixar is there and that is kinda cool but not as cool as everyone hypes it up to be***

Condescending Hippies: These are the people who South Park made fun of for being “smug” and they are so dead on! They are the people who assume I bought my hybrid for altruistic hippie reasons (which yes there were some) but do not understand that my overriding reasons for spacecar purchase were :
1. hatred of American cars stemming from owning two Buicks, one from 1978 and one from 1984, both of which fell apart when touched and consumed more gasoline than that gas truck that melted the highway last Sunday!
2. Hatred of buying gasoline and odd cheapness overall.
3. Tax and carpool lane bonuses (closely related to #2)

The smug hippies sometimes walk past my apartment and I can hear them from the balcony, they complain about apartment buildings in my neighborhood and even point to my apartment building and say with that weird tone,”and THAT is another eyesore.”

SORRY I CANNOT AFFORD A NICE HOUSE TO LIVE IN ASSHOLE, ALSO SORRY APARTMENTS BRING IN “THE WRONG KIND OF PEOPLE” (aka minorities and people who are upper middle class).

PUNDITS: While I am at it, I also want to add pundits from all sides to this list, as they all seem to ignore facts and whip people up into taking retarded sides and ignoring important parts of issues because NO IT IS LIBERAL VERSUS CONSERVATIVE NOW SHUT UP AND PICK A SIDE

Yes this includes Air America as well as Fox news, but also people like Lou Dobbs and Keith Olberman! gasp! OH YES PLEASE BOIL AN ISSUE DOWN TO AN INSANELY SIMPLE FORMAT AND TELL ME WHAT TO THINK OH THANK YOU PUNDIT YOU ARE TEH AWESOMEST

My cynicism: I hate hating everything and thinking nothing works and that everything is pointless and stupid! I think it means I need a girlfriend but that doesn’t work out very well most of the time so I have been hiding from commitment or something, wait that is my cynicism again DAMMIT

OK well I think I am good for now. I feel marginally better so maybe I will go eat lunch or something and read about Atomic Bombs.
