Recently more than a few things have been pissing me off. What happened to all the things I used to enjoy. I used to like wasting time on Facebook, following politics, driving and knowing what size clothes I wear. Now I find that the simple things that I enjoyed are in jeopardy.
Facebook
Facebook has gone all wrong, what used to be a nice clean interface that was easier to use than myspace, has gotten cluttered with application and friends feeds. I can't figure out what the heck is going on anymore. So I took some time off, when I logged back in I had 16 friend requesting me to partake in their applications. Some of them sounded interesting but did I really want to "turn on" the application to see what the heck it is? No! So I end up spending 90% of my time clicking the "ignore" button rather than chatting with my friends like it is designed for.
Politics
I always viewed myself as a die-hard democrat until recently. After the Obama v. Hillary race for the white house I have a bad taste in my mouth. The white house was the democrats for the taking, yet we find ourselves in April and they are still beating the crap out of each other. I realize they both really want the job, but for the sake of the American people, try to show that you can work together. The democrats can't get out of their own way, how the heck to they expect to win that way.
It has gone on long enough. From the wise words from the movie Zoolander: "I feel like I am taking crazy pills.” They are the same person, except one is black and one is a woman. Other than that they are going to do the same thing -- sit on their elitist chair and watch as America continues to try and please everyone, thus pleasing no one.
Gas Prices and Road Trips
My driving enjoyment has been hit of late. With prices around the $3.50 range I recently calculated how much it would cost me to drive home. It is a 1500 mile journey (each way) and my car is a Scion xB, so I figured I have done this many times before and it wasn't that bad. It is going to cost $350 bucks to get there and back. That is outrageous!
Clothing Sizes
Why is it that I go into one store and I can’t fit into the same sized cloths as another store? This is especially frustrating when I am buying jeans. For god sakes the jeans are measured by inches not by some arbitrary size that each brand has.
I would like to walk into a store and pick stuff off the shelf without trying it on and have it fit. Apparently this is too difficult and to achieve such clothing standards would make the world implode. Maybe I should just say “screw it” and wear nothing but sweats and XL tees from now on.
