The world is f'd up: A rant

**shecky** · 11-08-2010, 05:07 PM

Sometimes, I need to get things off my chest.

-- I made myself try to watch "Avatar" the other night. I had to see what all the hype was about. I made it through an hour before I wanted to hurt somebody. What an absolute waste of my time.

I've seen it before. It was called "Dances with Wolves." Where is the story?

"But the visual effects are great," I was told.

OK, where's the story?

"It was groundbreaking visually," someone said.

OK, where's the story?

"It was candy for the eyes."

OK, but where is the fvcking story? Give me a damn story. My aunt makes the best goddamn homemade pasta sauce ever (it is not up for debate) but it doesn't mean a thing without pasta.

Thank God for "Boardwalk Empire." It has a story and is visually pleasing. Imagine, what a concept.

-- Hey Mr. I'm Too Lazy To Put My Shopping Cart In The Corral So I'll Just Leave It Here In This Parking Spot: you're an asshole. It takes a special sort of lazy person to not walk 50 feet and to not think of the people who might come behind you.

Thanks so much.

-- Sir, when you're in the right-turn only lane and proceed to go straight, ignoring the many signs, and then get cut off by me because I assumed you were going right as instructed, I get to flip you off, not the other way around.

Bite me. And learn to read.

-- Justin Bieber is doing an autobiography. And people will buy it. Enough said.

-- There's a special place in hell for that dick who today went flying up the right side of the downtown street to pass a funeral procession, found an impediment, and proceeded to cut INTO the funeral procession. Sir, may your funeral be next.

-- If you use Facebook simply to bitch, you deserve a beating. Guess what? If you're healthy, breathing and employed, you have it a lot better than many people. Please feel free to STFU.

-- Please stop asking me, with derision in your voice, why my kids read so much. They like to read. It's not a disease. It's actually a good thing.

-- Hey Fox, what is the deal with that stupid robot-looking football player on your NFL telecasts? I want to watch football, not "Transformers."

-- Is it really asking too much to allow my kids to get out of their Halloween costumes before I'm bombarded with Christmas advertisements?

Thank you for your time.

You know what really pisses me off?

People that make threads just to bitch about stuff.

And here I thought it would take a lot longer for someone to discover the irony.

Doesn't this belong on Facebook?

And,

Avataar was a love story about breaking the stereotype bonds that separate people from species. About triumph over conflict that arrives amidst the discovery of ones artificial shell and the leap beyond generic boundaries that keep interspecies relations as Taboo an inacceptable.I taught us to look within ourselves and find that as species we are all capable of learning how another may live and to cherish each and every moment we allow ourselves to share.

And that Aliens have their tickly bits in their tails.

Just be warned that Avataar 2 is likely to showcase the glowworm.

Just kidding. Preach on, brother man.

Gila is just sugar coating it for the kids. Avatar is about bestiality. Hot, blue bestiality. You likely just didn't "get" it.

As an aside, I loved Avatar. Just because the story has been done a million times doesn't make it bad. Plus, I love art and including the 3d experience was one of the best theater experiences of my life. It was shockingly beautiful in 3d.

--I am bothered by other parents with wild children who refuse to be parents. Perhaps birth control would have been better???

--I dislike Santa Claus. I don't hate him because it isn't worth the effort to hate a fictitious being. For the same reason I don't hate Storm Troopers, but I can still dislike them... a lot.

--Oktoberfest is the best month of the year and those who don't agree can Fuk off.

This is the argument given to me. I respect your view. However, if I want something shockingly beautiful I'll simply look outside and take time to appreciate it.

Not done enough, in my opinion.
