Ignorance ISN'T Bliss!

Why is it, that if a male of this day and age, admits that he likes listening to young female vocals, is instantly criticized? What is really wrong with listening to a female vocalist? Is is the nature of the songs? Is it the fact that most of them didnt write their own song and are simply putting a voice to a set of lyrics created by someone else?

Doesn’t anyone realize that bands like Evanescence, Lacuna Coil, and Otep, ALSO have female vocals? Why is it that no one makes fun of a man who listens to them? Is it the nature of the music? Is it considered cooler because it's more Rock than pop?

What is so different between Evanescence’s "My Immortal", which is to be considered by MANY people, male and female, to be a great song, and A singer like Stacie Orrico's "I Promise"? Why is one considered "Cool" and the other one considered as "uncool"?

I can proudly say that I get laid on a very regular basis, and I OWN CD's like Backstreet Boys, Vanessa Carlton, 98 Degrees, Josh Gorban, Neil Diamond, Barbra Streisand, Britney, Jessica Simpson, Stacie Orrico, Dresden Dolls, Michelle Branch.

I own over 400 CD's and over 9000 songs in MP3 Format. It ranges from Classical, to Heavy metal, from Pop, Country. So the hell what? I ENJOY all types of music, and I can find something enjoyable about EVERY type of music on the planet (And by music I MEAN music... not some blubbering asshole teenager who is screaming into a microphone on his computer trying to prove me wrong).

And since when did Music preferences start equaling intercourse regularity? Why is it if someone likes a female pop star automatically labeled as "needing to get laid"? What the hell does one have to do with the other?

I listen to All types of music, and I listen to it because I am a musician, and I can APPRECIATE the work and dedication that any given band or vocalist put into his or her work.

You don’t like a particular group or type of music? Great... explain why you don’t like it. Saying it's "Emo shit" isn't a reason, it's an opinion. As a matter of fact, EVERYTHING about liking or disliking something is an opinion, unless there is something actually wrong with the song itself (like a rhythmical or vocal error).

This is Josh Groban's video "You raise me up". This song was performed at the first baseball game, after the shuttle Columbia was destroyed upon re-entry, in memory of the 7 astronauts... and there isn't a single person who saw and listened to it, who wasn't moved by the song.

Impatient People

I've been out in the field for the last few weeks, learning the tricks of the low voltage trade. My boss came up to me and said, "We need a hand out in the field. Grab some tools, put some jeans on, and be there at 6 AM."

Now I've never done anything like this in my life, at least, not on this scale. So naturally, I'm going to be asking a lot of questions on procedure and what not. Little did I know that asking questions would eventually lead to one of the field workers getting so pissed off at me that he would refer to himself as a former employer whom I recently found out hated the fact that I would work for him.

Turns out, that the standards for almost each building that we were doing, was different in some way. And when I would ask him how we were supposed to do it, he would get really irritated and say "Just like the last building." Then it turns out that the previous building was different, I would do it the same way, and he would get pissed because it wasn't right. Big fucking surprise.

I'm a very technical guy. I can build and program a computer, I can draw a detailed blueprint right down to the welding diagrams... why the hell cant I get a simple straight answer out of a guy who has been doing this stuff for the last ten years? I mean Jesus tittyfucking Christ, Just give me a fucking list of stuff that has to be done in order, and I'll do it that way every damn time!

Ever know someone like that? I've heard that the Military has a lot of issues like this. One CO tells you to do it one way, and another one tells you to do it another, then you're trying to please both of them, but in the end you just end up getting FUBAR. What the hell happened to procedure in the world? What the hell happened to logic?

Hitch

If you’ve never seen this movie, starring Will Smith and Eva Mendez, then I would suggest that you do.

This movie serves two purposes. One, It’s a great way for guys to learn the ways of Tom Leykis. Tom Leykis is a god among gods, if I believed in gods anyway.

Hitch can teach a man how to get laid by the third date; even if you’re completely useless, this movie will teach you, IF you’re watching closely enough, how to get a broad woman in bed by the third date. Yet, it teaches some of the fundamental rules of Leykis 101.

Show some damn confidence!

Do you think a girl wants to date a stuttering looser who couldn’t stand up to the plate? Hell, even people who stutter can get the hottest women on the planet! Why you ask; because they’re confident in what they’re doing and who they are. You see a woman you want to be with? If you don’t go up to her and SHOW her that she should be with you, what the hell are you doing? You’re wasting everyone’s time! You should be back home playing some damn MMORPG flirting with some girl who is really a guy to begin with!

What the hell is wrong with men today? They’re all push over pussies who can’t get what they want because we were raised by a generation of female supremacy.

The hell with that, men want one thing: Women, in bed, naked, waiting for us.

If you’re in college, don’t get into relationships; get a fuck-buddy. And don’t be put down by women who say “Oh I don’t want to be a slut” bullshit. You want to know what the difference between a slut and a bitch is? A slut is a woman who will sleep with anyone. A bitch is a woman who will sleep with anyone but you!

Show some balls and get what you want!

But, at the same time, Hitch is a chick flick. Two birds, one stone.

Stop being a damn pushover!

Speed of Pain

You know what really pisses me off? Well there is a couple things, but I’ll focus on one of them.

People who can’t drive worth a damn!

Over the last few weeks, I swear that I’ve encountered every damn person who passed their driving test only because the instructor couldn’t take anymore of their bullshit! These people would do 55 in the fast lane, right next to three other people who were doing the same exact speed, all the way down the damn freeway. You know the type, the ones who think that the left lanes are for the sole purpose of matching the speed of the other lanes.

And to be honest, they usually fall under one of the two categories:

They’re Asian or they’re OLD.

I mean what the hell kind of instructor would pass people who do fifty-five in the fast lane? For fucks sake, if you’re going to do fifty-five, get in the damn slow lane! The posted speed limit is sixty-five, and everyone in California does at least seventy-five to eighty!

Holy shit! What the hell id wrong with these people! You fucking belong in the Semi truck lane. Not like it does a lot of good, since the Semi’s are doing at LEAST seventy and still passing your ass, but for fuck’s sake, get the hell out of a lane that reserved for people that are late, or have a lead foot that just like to drive fast.

How the hell did the Damn Department of Transportation pass your ass? Oh yeah, I know, they get a paycheck anyway, and they’re happy in knowing that you won’t be driving anywhere near them on the freeway! Well guess what, these assholes have to drive somewhere! And you know what? It’s always right in front of me!

The state of California needs to get some competent idiots behind that damn clipboard for a change. They’re Asian! If they didn’t grow up in the State of California, they came from somewhere where they think that fifty-five is the equivalent of light speed. Get a damn clue! Take them on the freeway! See for yourselves! I mean shit, the city of Norco doesn’t even test for freeway driving. How useful is that in Southern California? Everything is accessible from a freeway, so why don’t you start teaching and testing people on them?

While we’re on the subject, why don’t you test for real life situations like seventy to zero threshold braking? Skid/slide control? Fishtailing? These are real life situations that happen every day.

Monday, I’m driving along Interstate Ten, and between the Fifteen Freeway and Euclid, no more than a two-mile stretch; I see FOUR, yes FOUR, separate accidents involving three cars or more, all in the carpool lane.

I could attribute all of the accidents to the Michael Jackson jury verdict, but I don’t think that would have anything to do with it; I mean really, who didn’t know he would get off (no pun intended) on all charges?. But it has everything to do with people who think they know how to drive, when all they really know how to do is screw up everyone else’s insurance and give them an overall horrible day.

Fuck that!

Most people don’t know how to drive anymore. How many of you can say that you’ve intentionally thrown yourself into a fish tail situation, JUST TO PRACTICE? Not many of you, I assure you. If you’re one of the few, thank you for knowing how to drive at the limit. How many of you slam on your brakes when you get into that situation? Most of you! And what does that make you do? Well, it makes you cause a lot of people a lot of headaches dealing with insurance companies and lawsuits.

Learn how to drive, or go back to where the hell you came from!
