Annoying

So, I just want to put this situation out there....What if you were sitting at the lunch table at school and you are the new kid, obviously trying to meet people. You become involved in conversation and begin to notice that everything you say, a certain person has to constantly tell you what and how they would have handled the situation and put in their two cents on every word you speak.

For some reason, this absolutely drives me nuts. Let me list the reasons.

1) I don't know you from Adam.
2) Are you Cliff Claven from Cheers and know EVERYTHING?
3) I personally don't really care, nor asked you your opinion and I probably never will.

For some reason, this really bothers me when people act like this. I don't know if it's because I already know everything or because they have no social skills... Im leaning towards the no social skills.

Its a jeep thing..

My very dear friend wrote this and I thought I would share... hilarious!
I really can not begin to understand the whole "jeep" thing either. I personally feel it's kind of retarded. If I had a jeep, I would blow everyone off that waved at me just because it's lame.

IT'S A JEEP THING...

Ever wonder how to join a cult and drive a cool vehicle at the same time? It is simple, go out and purchase a Jeep. There is no discrimination-Cherokees, Wranglers, Commanders, Liberties, it doesn't matter as long as it is a Jeep. Once you have made the purchase, you are welcomed into a world in which you are at an elite status, and everyone around you who owns a Jeep acknowledges that. Fellow Jeep owners have now formed a bond with you, the Jeep owner, and there is a sense of pride in that! Different forms of salutionations are exchanged between you and your Jeep comrades: whether it be the friendly toot of the horn, a wave, or if you are lucky, the tilt of brim on a hat. And of course, it is only proper to give the same greeting back.

Where does that leave everyone else? Ford, Toyota, Honda-even Chrysler, a sister company? In the dust, that is where. No friendly wave is directed in your direction, and the worst thing is witnessing the Jeep owners in their innercircle, honking and waving, while you are left their in non-accepted vehicle. It makes you want to punch down on your steering wheel, or pretend to be fascinated with switching the dials on your radio, when really, you are longing for that kind of kinship.

Witnessing it is really an amazing thing. When you are a passenger in a Jeep, you don't realize what kind of ride you are in for! You hear the honk, or see the person wave and you ask, "why did they do that?" and the response is always along the lines of, "it's a fellow Jeep owner" or "it's a Jeep thing..." the answer is never quite clear, and it makes you feel even more isolated. Some Jeep owners don't have any qualms with displaying their proud belonging; they have the signs and stickers to prove it: It's A Jeep Thing; You Wouldn't Understand.

I tried once to honk at a fellow "stratus-er" but to no avail. He didn't appreciate the fact that I was honking at him, and instead of the friendly wave, I got an unpleasant gesture in the form of a finger. I was very dismayed and disappointed; it is a Jeep thing and I don't understand...but I wish I did.

sky rockets at flight...

As an Alumni of the UT Rockets, I thought I would do a little shout out since Homecoming is this weekend. This will be my first since being out of school!


GO ROCKETS!

The Secret


I recently got this on book/cd and wanted to see what the hype was about. (Thanks Oprah) I have listened to it a few times and really do think this is a great thing! However, some of the stuff the lady talks about such as, "think of money,and it will come to you.. " is crap.

Personally, I think about money all the time and it is always leaving me...

BUT, she does bring up some good points! Having a positive attitude in life does make things happen for you! I would suggest reading/listening to this gem. My disclaimer being "a lot of BS but some helpful life tips"!

Has anyone else read this?

www.crime-scene-photos.com

Im sure you can guess whats on this website. My question is, is this even moraly right to do?! I just find something really wrong with this for some reason. I guess its just the fact that its someones family member... Anyone else disturbed by this?

Ode to Buckeye Cable Systems

The reason for this post is to let off a little steam...

I am infuriated with the service that buckeye cable provides and am now going to list the reasons as to why.

1. It took them 5 times to come set up my cable.

2. They give you a 2 hour time slot of when they will be showing up... because I don't have anything better to do than.... work? (also, a shout out to the guy who had the time slot to show up from 12-2 and made his grand enterance at 6:30 pm and said, "Sorry, I forgot to look at the bottom of my page". I hope you make it in the cable installation world and I hope buckeye cable offers a gold clock to you for your 10 year gift. It might come in handy.

3. They have a customer service department that yells at you. example A.) They had to wait 5 minutes for a door to be opened, and tell the customer (me) to reschedule because "they can't wait around all day". ( There are 2 things wrong with the above statement and I will note both. The customer service is a joke, and I don't mean funny haha joke. Also, arn't they making
me (customer) wait 2 hours for them?) moving forward.

4. I told them eight (8) times I needed wireless internet for my laptop computer... so why did you bring the cord with the wrong modem . And, even if I had a PC Desktop, I think the cord needs be longer then the length of a small childs foot. If this is even considered a "cord/cable". I didnt sign up for cable to begin with. Which brings me to another point

5. They can't listen nor make the necessary changes to a work order after being told 5 TIMES...Does the system just reset and my order go into LaLa Land with everyone employed there? Obviously there is no drug screening going on at that office. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.



5. They are a monopoly. Monopoly's suck.. unless you are the one with all the money. Otherwise, get the F*** out of my. BTW, thanks for your $20.00 credit off my $ 150.00 installation charge. Thank you for bending over backwards in these hard times! The gas companies and cable company are now in the same category.

6. It's a disgrace that "buckeye" has to be associated with that company.



Mind you, I just walked in the door and turned on my computer.
I haven't even turned my TV on yet to find out what they did to that.
"Bang My Head Into a Brick Wall" might be my next post title.

XoXo,

Loyal Customer

P.S.

Im sorry HGTV that I haven't been a loyal fan, I'm sure you will understand why.

How to annoy people on an airplane

And I DO care about this...
I found this list of how to annoy people on an airplane and thought I would share...
I laughed out loud at some of these!


Act like a movie star.
Ask someone for their autograph, pretending that you think they're Tom Cruise or Madonna (This best when the person looks nothing like the movie star in question)
Ask the guy next to you to hold your dentures (senior citizens only)
Ask the person next to you, "Are you in the Witness Protection program too?"
Attempt to promote Hinduism among passengers
Bring a "Word-a-Day" calendar on board with you. Read every single word aloud and attempt to use it in a sentence. Use them all incorrectly. "My, you have a very irate home,' she said governessly."
Bring a cellular phone. Call God. Say, "The reception is much clearer up here...."
Bring a duffel bag packed with pipe cleaners, styrofoam balls, construction paper, etc. Organize a "Kraft Korner". Make a craft likeness of the person sitting next to you. Give yourself an "F". Bring a microphone and act like Frank Sinatra
Bring your computer keyboard without a monitor. Place it on your lap. Stare into the palm of your hand. Wait. Push the return key a few times. Yell out "Yes! Alright! I told them I didn't need a laptop!"
Plug the headphones into your nostril and play Doom.
Call the stewardess "nurse".
Continually offer to share your "Beano".
Decorate. Bring a scatter rug and tiny draperies. Hang a "Home Sweet Home" plaque on the back of the seat in front of you. Invite your fellow passengers in for tea.
Describe your sex life in great detail to the five-year-old next to you
Disco dance in the aisle Don't use deoderant, then "accidently" stick your armpit in someone's face
During the inflight movie, ask to share headphones with someone
During the meal, loudly explain that on time you ate shark fin soup and proceeded to puke all over the airplane, spewing chunks of shark on the other passengers
Explain how, one time, the plane was crashing and the oxygen masks didn't come out, 'cause they aren't really reliable, and that if the plane was to crash, everyone would die
Fart loudly and act shocked, looking around to see who did it
Fiddle around with the emergency exit, then ask a fellow passenger if he has a crowbar Get some rub-on tattoos and a leather jacket, pretend that you belong to a biker gang
Give someone a coin, saying "Heads, I detonate the bomb. Tails, I don't"
Go into the bathroom and make rude bodily noises, then come out looking refreshed.
Go into the bathroom, drop your pants, then come out, yelling "We're out of toilet paper! Stewardess!" Go into the cockpit, ask the pilot in an obnoxious voice "Why do the call it the COCKpit?" then snort as if it's the funniest thing in the world
Go up to someone and ask loudly if they wouldn't mind applying Preporation H to your hemrrhoids.
Hum the Monty Python theme song.
If someone has a bad toupee, whack it off.
Jump up and scream "AAAHHH!! I left the stove on!!"
Lead a bible study session in the back of the plane.
Lead a revolt against the first class passengers.
Lean back in your seat, fold your arms behind your head and exclaim, "Thank God for auto-pilot, eh?"
Mess up your hair, untuck your shirt, basically look crude, and mingle with a first class guy as if you were long-lost friends
Moon passing Delta planes.
No matter what the meal choices are, demand rice-a-roni.
Pick your nose and pat the person next to you.
Pinch the stewardess' butt as she passes.
Pretend you're flying the plane.
Put on a ten foot diameter sombrero and slouch in your seat, whacking everyone on the head. Remark that perhaps you shouldn't have put superglue in your undies that morning.
Ride carry-on luggage down the aisle, yelling "Yeee-ha!"
Say, "Did you know every time a plane crashes, an angel gets its wings?" Then sigh and stare dreamily into the clouds.
Scratch your butt, then sniff your finger.
Scream and dive under your seat for no apparent reason.
Show off your Batman underwear.
Sing along with the songs on your Walkman.
Snap Polaroids of him or her. Pull out an empty photo album and arrange the pictures inside it. Tuck the album under your jacket and say, "You know, in some cultures they believe that when you take a person's photograph...you own their soul...," while smiling maniacally.
Sneeze, using somebody's sleeve instead of your hand to cover it
Snort when you laugh
Speak in Spelling Bee-eese: "Hello. H-e-l-l-o. Hello. Nice weather we're having isn't it? Weather. W-e-a-t-h-e-r. Weather."
Spill soda "Accidentally" on the person next to you.
Sport a kamikaze helmet and goggles.
Speak in a low voice into a hand held tape recorder: "Today's date, December 7th, 1941. I was not able to command my own personal plane but success shall still be ours...."
Start a hot dog stand.
Start singing the Shari Lewis theme, "This is the song that never ends, it just goes on and on my friends, some people started singing it not knowing what it was, and they'll continue singing it forever just because, this is the song that never ends...." Suddenly realize that you can never stop singing. Become very panicky.
Scrawl "Help me" on a piece of paper and hand it to the person sitting next to you.
Claw at your throat and thrash around in the seat.
Never stop singing.
Steal a businessman's laptop, play solitaire on it.
Suddenly remember that you left your iron on. Ask if the pilot would mind going back so you can check.
Switch accents and see if anyone notices.
Tap at the windows, saying "Looks pretty tough" then ask somone if they have a bat you could use to test.
Tell corny jokes and laugh like it's absolutely hilarious, then expect others to do the same
Wear a hairpiece and switch it often, seeing if anyone notices
Tell the person next to you your life story, from DNA to that afternoon
Tell your fellow passenger that you just heard the bathrooms were out-of-order. Then pause and say, "Did you know that peanuts are a natural diuretic?" Smile.

ChaCha

While out this past weekend, The song "You Dropped The Bomb On Me" came on. Someone asked "Who sings this song anyways?". So of course, 4 different people had 4 different answers. A friend of mine then pulled out his cell phone and said. " Im calling ChaCha!" My response "What in the effe is chacha... "

My friend goes on to tell me its a phone number you can call and ask it ANY QUESTION.. and it will send you the answer via text message at no charge...(except for the charge from your cell phone company for a text message if you dont have unlimted.) Within a few minutes a text message came to his phone and said The Gap Band, thank you for using ChaCha.

It was mind blowing! So I called it about 30 times and asked, who makes refried beans... what is the weight of an 8 foot 2X4 ....Who sings "Barbie Girl" ( which everyone already knows is Aqua...) regardless... it texted me the answers within minutes..

I thought I would do a little advertising for this service so heres the number, add it to your phone book of you cell phone! 1-800-2ChaCha (800-224-2242)

Am I the only person who didn't know about this amazing service or are you amazed as well?

First Blog


So, Im not really sure what I have to blog about that is of any interest to anyone.... besides for my own entertainment.. dont mind me...this might get a little interesting, at best.
