Rant About Whatever

theabortionatorSome people don't know when to shut the fuck up Ming. That shit sucks when you do something nice for someone and they're a douche. I'm very patient but I probably would have torn into him at the end. Maybe tried to throw him out of the car.

I wish I knew him so I could fuck with him for ya.

Mingg"You're one of those retarded feminists, huh?"

theabortionatorDumb commercials. Especially car insurance ones. Geico and Progressive adds make me want to burn my tv. I might be more inclined to buy a product if the commercials weren't retarded. Instead I just mute them all, change the channel or freebase cleaning supplies until they're over.

JordanButtfartThat SNL 40 shit last night was unfunny garbage and I'm fucking tired of people acting like SNL is funny.

louie.miragsAre you hanging out with senior citizens?

Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David were funny as hell though.

john18061806I'm really pissed at how duck fucking shitty the winter in Minneapolis has been. It's been stupidly cold and the biggest storm we've had was 2.5". Most of that melted and what's currently on the ground is a 1/2" mix of ice and snow after a heavy storm of mostly freezing rain. This is the winter that I wanted to get out and bag at least 20-30 urban spots but big ups to the current weather pattern being stalled and leaving me in a fucking drought. I've hit 4-5 spots and only got a good shot out of 1 of them. It's possible to hit flat lip urban in Minneapolis but I don't have the legs of Michael fucking Jordan. East coasters better not take a single second of their snow for granted, and don't ever call yourselves the "ice coast" anymore after all of these anomalous nor'easters that come from Minnesota and dump a whopping .05" on us.

Granite_StateYeah im also pretty bummed most of the northeast has seen close to 80" in february alone ;)

louie.miragsyeah all of that shoveling is realllllllllllllllllllllyyy getting to me ;)

SubstituteNot really a rant but it's OK.

I am on a XC MTB team for high school aged youth. My one buddy doesn't have a bike and I have been trying to get him one so he can race. My coach and I found him a super awesome bike carbon frame nice drive train, everything. He doesn't have enough money to buy it, and I offered to lend him the difference. But his stupid pride won't do it. It's just really annoying.

theabortionatorCould be pride but regardless it can be a good principal. Most people in highschool don't have a lot of money coming in. If he borrows money from you, it's not like he can deduct that from his next big pay check. If you're working full time it's not that hard to borrow a little until your next check, but if you don't have much cash flowing in, it can leave you in a bad spot.

Sure it's probably a nice bike, but mountain bikes are fucking expensive. It's a good principal to not borrow money when you're in a place where you can't afford it. IF he doesn't borrow it, he doesn't have a bike at the moment, but he also doesn't owe anybody anything.
It just allows you to live within your means and stay in a better spot with less money.

You start borrowing money when you aren't making shit and suddenly everything that's coming in is already spoken for + some.

BenWhitI'm being a horrible money manager right now. I dug myself a decent little hole with a credit card. Didn't max it out, not even close, but it's still not a balance I'm comfortable with, between student loans, a car payment, rent, utilities, and food, one of my two paychecks a month is basically spoken for. I want to make some big payments towards my balance, but it seems like every time I do that, I put myself in a bad cash position.

SubstituteRight, while he doesn't have a job right now he is getting one over the summer. (already lined up and stuff) it just seems like he should barrow some from me to get a rad bike that he will never have to replace it ever.

louie.miragsMoney and friends don't always mix! When you're younger paying back later for an expensive item now sounds like a great idea... Until you have to pay the money back. I know how much bikes go for and he's going to have to work a lot of hours at a highschool job to pay ya back. Trust some of the opinions of the older folk and hold on to your money. Or this time next year you could still be fighting with this friend over money.

SupremeDeityPeople always get a boner about coming out West and skiing but they don't know that it was 60 goddamned degrees out today

SubstituteI hear you. I wouldn't be asking him to borrow a massive amount of money or anything. It would be around $500. Another thing is he is my best friend and has been for years. If he does borrow some I could picture it being awkward at times, however I am not the kind of person to really care about anything like this. I really will consider the advice you have given me.

theabortionatorNot really a rant but whatever. Sent an application to a mtn trying to get down on Aussie. Wasn't my first choice but figured I'd send one out. Got an email only a couple days after that I'm out. I guess they didn't like me :( or had somebody else in mid already. Kind of sucks because the application was a pain in the ass. Had some website troubles and had to fill it out 3 times. Almost said fuck it, probably should of.

It's all good, just business but just bummed that I wasted time on it lol. With an entry level position it would be cool to get through for an interview or at least have it be considered a little longer with 10 seasons experience in that specific area. Maybe I accidentally attached a dick pic instead of my resume or maybe like my parents they just didn't love me :(

Hoping to hit on some others, if not I might go back to NZ. Hope somebody wants me. Really only so many options for summer jobs so being out of the running for any isn't that good.

SKI.INGDude I completely feel you on that. Online applications are so redundant, filling out the same shit over and over again. And dealing with crap web interfaces. All just to be told they already filled the position or some other stuff. Frustrating at best.

theabortionator$500 is a decent chunk of change in general, and A LOT of money for somebody in highschool. I wouldn't even want to borrow $500 now unless it was something I was going to have back the next week or to.

Understand you want somebody to cruise with but that's not cheap. ANybody in the group have a bike they could lend him?

SubstituteThat's the main issue. No one has one his size. I found him one that isn't quite as nice so he doesn't have to borrow any money from me.

louie.miragsabortionator is making a lot of sense right now.. I have borrowed money before and it is not easy paying back. I am still paying a credit card bill from when I was 19 and 20. And I am 25 now. The point is at that age paying back 500 is a huge deal. That is a big chunk out of what he is going to making this summer. And you have no way of forcing him to pay you back since you can't ruin his credit. The worst case is you guys get bitter about it and you're out a friend. I've seen friendships go sour because of dang ol money.
