SUCKER!

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

I love my friends. They know me well enough to figure that some things they’ll send me require IMMEDIATE commentary. So, thanks Cliff, for this jewel of wisdom/knowledge, or whatever one wants to call it!

Apparently, some have way too much money to spend. Who’d have known in a time like this? Screw the recession. Apparently there is none, if companies sell items like this.

But then, when I look at this product, I think “WHY!? Why did I not come up with such an awesome idea? I, too, could be rich!” Then I hit myself in the head for not being smart enough to pry on the stupidity of some consumers, who consider this probably trendy.

But, without further due, check THIS OUT! And yes, for $85 you, too, can own what I create naturally by simply wearing panty hose and going out. And yes, for the ones who bought them/consider buying them, I have one word for you: SUCKER!

My Top List

There are tons of funny sites out there, and I thought I’d share my favorite ones:

F*** my Life
Short excerpts of people who apparently have a great sense of humor and don’t mind sharing their most humiliating moments online.

Texts from Last Night
Well, this one is not for everyone. It seems as if the average submitter age seems to be 21, so there are tons of drug and sex related texts on there that can get a bit tiresome. However, some of them are extremely hilarious. Here is an example:
(847): i took some ambien and I TRIPPED out…i went into my mom’s room to say goodnight and i don’t remember anything…she said that i got really pissed at her because we were living in the Keebler elf tree and she was visiting other trees, then i started laughing hysterically and she goes “whats so funny?” and i go “there are 7 people sitting on my knees” and she goes “doesn’t that hurt?” and i said “no we’re sitting in a bowl” and then i capped it off and said “join the crazy train bro” and passed out.

The Fail Blog
This one is definitely worth visiting…a LOT!

People of Walmart
I think this has to be my favorite one! I mean, we all know how I LOVE Walmart!!! This reassures me yet again that there is absolutely nothing wrong with me for not setting foot into a Walmart!

Why all of us should be single – RIP Astrology

Friday, September 4th, 2009

I have a fascination with astrology. I have “studied” it since I was 15 years old and have a pretty damn good understanding of star signs and how they work. Hence, I figured I should make up Carmenator’s list of bad astrological traits. Why focus on the good sides, if you can rip on the bad ones. And since I am an equal opportunity hater, all signs are equally ripped to shreds, including my own, the Virgo.

Capricorn

Oh yeah, let’s date the downer and ultimate pessimist. The one who sees the glass as half empty and usually has the spontaneity of a pet rock. You want excitement? This is NOT the partner to give it to you. They also tend to have a sense of entitlement and prefer “arm candy” or how they appear to others, over real substance. Capricorns feel a need to complain a lot and are never satisfied.

Aquarius

Yay, the sign of crazy nuts and sociopaths. Do you want no commitment but tons of roller coaster behavior that makes no sense and will probably include cheating, then this is the sign for you! Hey, on the bright side they DO believe all the conspiracy theories are true, which turns them into paranoid schizophrenics. Walking down the street with an Aquarian is good times. They can frequently be heard saying things like “HE IS ONE OF THEM!”

Pisces

Pisces are awesome…as doormats. They tend to have no self esteem and drown their sorrow with either tons of alcohol, or lots of drugs. Anything, really, to help the little fishy escape reality and responsibility. When they feel they have been abused enough, they’ll wander off with someone else who tends to be just as crazy as the one they’ve left. They ARE relationship experts…NOT! And just like Cancers, it is never their fault.

Aries

Want to get in a fight? Pick an Aries. They love to argue for the sake of argument. They love getting a rise out of you, tend to sport smart ass remarks and feel that the rules don’t apply to them. Let’s not forget that the actual “ram” image already says it, stubborn as hell! Aries always think they are right, no matter what. Unlike other “right” people though, they insist on their “righteousness.” Tact is also highly overrated for an Aries.

Taurus

Ah, another earth sign. This one might be the only sign out there that can easily compete with the Capricorn when it comes to boredom. Except that the Taurus tends to be lazy on top of being a bore. Want to have wild sex? The ox will only be interested if you dangle a sandwich in his face. Moving fast is NOT his/her friend, neither is getting things done. They pout and tend to get passive aggressive.

Gemini

Want to be with a master manipulator? The twin will be a good bet for one. Geminis are intelligent, and mental nut cases. They ARE called “twins” for a reason and there are two sides to them, both of which are crazy. They shine with smart ass comments and are usually superficial, like their fellow air brethren, the Libra and Aquarian. A Gemini needs to be with someone who is good looking. They prefer good looking over character, which is why they usually end up in relationships with nutcrackers.

Cancer

They have a motto “woe is me” or “whahaa.” The cancer is always misunderstood. No one loves them, they shine with low self-esteem and nothing is their fault. They are also master manipulators, but unlike the Geminis they manipulate emotionally. They have more issues than a Hollywood magazine stand and cry a lot about spilled milk. The Cancer gets their feelings hurt about every 5 minutes and it will always be YOUR fault.

Leo

Leos don’t go to a party, they ARE the party. They shine with an ego larger than life, they need to be the center of attention and turn into true jerks if they don’t get it. They are passive aggressive and if you don’t get the “subtle” hints they become viscous and mean. They are a legend in their own minds and feel they deserve everything and everyone. Leos are demanding, obsessive, hyper sensitive and jealous. They are also bullies.

Virgo

The industrial maiden. Another fine example of pessimism, nit picking and constant nagging. The Virgo always knows what’s best for you, and everyone else. She is as much fun as getting a cavity filled at the dentist office and finds herself alone a lot. That is because most of her friends ran away from her constant nagging and judgment. The Virgo hardly ever gets anywhere in life, because she “loves to operate in the background.” She bitches and whines about it a lot, but her fear of success usually keeps her where she is at.

Libra

They do enjoy the finer things in life, but don’t really like working for them. Libras can make it an art form to marry well. They tend to have no opinion and flip flop on all issues as much as a leaf that blows in the wind. They won’t have your back in a fight, because they see “both sides of the equation” and therefore pair up well with the equally indecisive Gemini. It’s not that they are too shy to voice their opinion, they simply won’t have one; which is a good thing, you’ll never be wrong.

Scorpio

Scorps are fine friends to have, if you wanna die. Cross them in any shape or form and it’s bad times. They never forgive, are notoriously vicious and hold grudges, for years! They can be another “glass half empty” kinda person, except that they do it with a superior “I only believe in what can be proven” attitude. They know your deepest darkest secrets and WILL use them against you if necessary. They are also very ambitious and have no problem screwing their way to the top. Hey, whatever it takes!

Sagittarius

Such jolly characters they are! They suffer from diarrhea of the mouth and never hold back. Diplomacy is not their strong trait. They fall in love very quickly and are willing to move across continents to be with their love. Of course, they fall also out of love equally as quickly and become bored with anyone who is “mainstream.” Which translates into anyone stable. Sages don’t usually get far in life because they can’t be bothered to hold on to anything for longer periods of time without getting bored.

The Age of Technology

Wednesday, August 5th, 2009

Don’t you just love the age of technology? We are no longer required to be “real” and we don’t need to maintain friendships. Facebook, MySpace and Livejournal, amongst other “networking” sites make sure of that. We can remain anonymous, post pictures that are ancient and in which we were still hot, and post status updates instead of calling our friends or hanging out with them.
We don’t need to offer an opinion, we don’t need to ever say anything and be silent bystanders, voyeurs or “spies” with friends, exes and people we are interested in. Don’t you just love technology?

Well, I found out yesterday that technology apparently can also make us feel guilty and even insult. Video game consoles are no more a mere tool of entertainment and fun, no, they now also tell us when we suck. And they can do it with the blunt, cold-hearted precision of a machine. Yes, my Wii Fit told me last night I am overweight. This is not a shocker, but when you step on the damn balance board and hear a sound like “awwwwww” you feel a bit embarrassed. When you are then told that “balance is obviously not your forte” and find out that your Wii age is 53 years old, calculated by weight, BMI, height and actual age, you just wanna weep a little and hide.

Well, I started a diet on Monday and haven’t had any bread, pasta, potatoes, rice, or other sugar/carb containing items. Apparently happiness makes me fat and I have gained about 10 lbs since I have been with Andrew. Now the machine confirmed that I am fat, so off I go to please the computer, well, and myself. Technology sucks and so does getting old.

Sleepwalkers

Saturday, July 4th, 2009

I recently heard a story from a friend that really cracked me up. At the same time it fascinates the hell out of me. Her husband sleepwalks. Now, generally when we are thinking sleepwalking, we are assuming that someone is wandering about in a trance like state, possibly with one’s arms stretched out in front of them like a zombie. NOT SO MUCH!

So, here is what her husband did. He got up sometime during the night, went to her bathroom, showered, brushed his teeth with her toothbrush, for some strange reason created a trail with her underwear from the bathtub to the sink and then “attacked” her tampons. Yes, he took out the entire box of tampons from her medicine cabinet, apparently crushed the box and threw them in the trashcan. There were still tampons in the sink, on the floor and next to the trashcan. WOW!

But wait, there is more. On another night he “talked” to her the entire night. Apparently he had hugged her tightly and when she touched his leg he said in a clear voice “You need to get permission for that.” She answered “huh? From whom?” Answer from him “From the frame guy.” She said “Who is the frame guy?” To which he pointed with his finger to the right and said “He sits over there.” I honestly think this is the coolest thing EVER! I am aware that there are three stages of “being,” namely Beta, Theta and Alpha. But this is something different altogether, since he has absolutely no recollection of any of this the next morning. He has entire conversations, he showers!! and still doesn’t wake up? How can the water not wake you up?

Of course, I also wonder what the hidden hatred for tampons is. I mean, geez! He literally obliterated her entire box of tampons, crushed the box up and threw them away. What does it mean???? Ah, good times for me. As always, human behavior fascinates the hell out of me!

Geek Force – Active!

Thursday, July 2nd, 2009

I have joined the ranks of the working again and started working for, what else, a gaming company! I am currently consulting for a gaming company and will soon be joining the ranks of geeky online players again.

With this beautiful job comes a not-so-great commute to El Segundo. It is amazing how 19 miles in Los Angeles can easily translate to 45 to 90 minutes of commute, depending on the time of the day. With driving though, I have also noticed again how there a bunch of Muppets on the streets every day. Let me not get started on the guys who cut you off, just so they can slam on their brakes once they get in front of you. I think that is a topic all by itself!

Yesterday morning I had to stop and get gas. I pulled into the Mobil station and while the pump was going decided to go into the store to obtain money at the ATM machine. A guy comes out, and I am not sure if he emerged from the bathroom or the employee room, but he comes out, stands there and stares at me. I look up and gave him a short, polite smile and he says “So, you got the purple bang thing going, huh?” Now, my first impulse was to tell him “Look! My bangs are actually pink, not purple and secondly what do you even mean by “I have the purple bang thing going?” I mean, what kind of sentence is that? Again, I politely nodded and said “uhm, yeah.” So he watches me getting money out of the ATM and says “hey, send a 20 my way.” At this point I just looked at him and left.

What I really wanted to do is turn to him and ask him if stupid lines like that actually work. I really wondered if any normal female would even respond to such a stupid thing. The sarcastic part of me wanted to thank him for stating the obvious. Alas, I just kind of ignored him. I wonder often if certain guys are either so accustomed to getting turned down that they will throw out and blabber out just anything that comes to mind, or if in their head they are thinking “I am a TOTAL stud! This chick diggs me!”Plus, at one point do you not feel like a total tool standing there and watching anyone getting money from an ATM machine?

Apparently the human rules for conduct are totally and utterly foreign to some people.

On a lighter note, I can highly recommend working for a gaming company! That is if you are a geek like I am. There is a lot to be said about toys everywhere and the ability to discuss the importance of gaming without being looked at as if one is some kind of freakazoid. There is also a lot to be said about various desks equipped with gaming consoles and large monitors to ensure the very best gaming experience possible. I was thinking to myself that I could easily move in. All I need is a refrigerator and bed and I’d be set. Alright, maybe not quite THAT extreme but still, all I have to say is only one word regarding my job “YAY!” These are the times in my life where I wished the day had more hours. This way I could do it all, work, play and hang out with my loved ones :-D

Gadget/Schmadget

Friday, June 19th, 2009

Today I realized yet again how strange people get over gadgets. Granted,  I don’t really understand it, but it is fascinating nonetheless to watch human conditioning at its finest. Ok, maybe it’s not so much conditioning but it definitely IS marketing. Apparently sometimes these things seem to fail me altogether.

It was Andrew’s birthday a week ago and he wanted the new iPhone. From what I understand this thing can do anything and everything. It probably makes a damn good cup of tea, amongst other things too. So, today we ventured to the Apple store at The Grove to purchase said item.

Now, I must admit that I am already prejudice towards The Grove, because I hate crowds and I definitely am mesmerized, in a bad way, about consumerism and how well it works, even in our “weak” economy. So we get to the store to find a huge line. According to the nice sales kid we, too, can have the new iPhone, if we stand in line for three hours! Somehow this didn’t really discourage any of the brave shoppers at all. Patiently they stood there, waiting to purchase a phone; a $300 phone! Fortunately for me Andrew also hates crowds, so we decided to venture to the Apple store in Pasadena.

I think Andrew would definitely have qualified for the Grand Prix or some Nascar event! He was driving like a maniac, because we HAD to get to the store before it closed! One cannot wait any longer, given the fact that one has “been excited for the past few weeks about it coming out.” I was baffled but hey, if the man wants an iPhone for his birthday I will get him one.

We arrived in Pasadena and there was no line. They had managed the crowds differently and so we walked straight in, right before they closed. Andrew was parking the car and I was in the store asking the sales kid “it’s a phone! What is the big deal about it?” He explained it to me but somehow the stuff he was saying failed to impress me the way it apparently impresses everyone else. We got Andrew’s phone, transferred his stuff over from his old phone and left.

I am still a bit baffled. Why would anyone stand in line, namely for hours, for a gadget!? I mean, unless the thing does my laundry, cleans my house and cooks for me, I simply don’t get it. Do I need a compass on my phone? Uhm, no! Do I need to be able to be constantly online? Not so much! Maybe I DO need to play Vampire Wars whilst sitting on the toilet, but somehow I doubt that too. I think I am missing the gene where this kind of stuff makes me jump and down with excitement, or even remotely amazes me.

I have had the same phone for two years. It texts, I can call people and even take pictures. Whoohoo! I think I am good and hey, I didn’t have to stand in line to obtain it. Meanwhile, my husband is currently lost in the bathroom, probably playing Solitaire on his new iPhone :D
