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?

Creeped out... hows is this even allowed?!
I ran across this website and am completely creeped out and can not believe this is even on the internet.
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.
