Rant About Whatever

Yeah I know there were some rant threads over the years grinds my gears and whatever. I don't think any of them were that happening to dig up. I probably made one of them honestly. Whatever.

I figured if we could rant somewhere we'd be more docile creatures in the rest of the forums.

My roommate's boy friend has stayed here every single night since I can even remember. It's so annoying. Stay at his place for once or fucking pay rent here!

Once you see him warching tv in the living room or using the kitchen while his girlfriend is gone there is little you can do. It is the price of having roomates.

He has a key -_- it's just so dumb. He's paying rent on a house (not a crappy apartment aka my place) a few blocks down the street! But yeah I know it's just a roommate thing.

We used to have this same issue with our roommate's girlfriend. I didn't really mind her not paying rent, but I did get upset she didn't pay a share of the utilities. In a house with 5 roommates, not counting her, utilities got expensive. So when she would leave lights on, shower for ages, ect, we'd get pissed. The other thing I couldn't stand is when she'd get mad because we were too loud when she wanted to sleep, or she'd get on us for leaving something in the living room. I do badly wanted to tell her that if she had a problem she could go to her own house.



Sorry. I was starting to write that to be like been there, it's shitty, but it just turned into my own rant. Clearly, I'm still a little bitter.

I LOVE a situation when somebody leaves themselves so open to a blast of reality. I sometimes feel guilty about making people cry, but if you're going to be that much a dick, and then bitch at the people who own the place as if it's your house, when you don't pay rent?

Bitch please, you should have served her good.

I like to think that I'm a nice guy but that's one of those spots that's too good for this guy to pass up. I'm pretty easy going and don't like to make a big deal out of little things, so I let them slide, but if somebody comes back at me, bitching about small stuff, in a spot where they have no room to talk, after I've let their shit slide(And also if this all takes place in my house which they aren't paying anything for?) It's on.

If this was recent let me know. I can sub in for you and throw down some words. If you want I'll set up some go pros so you can sip a beer and enjoy her sobs and tears as she runs out the door in a frenzy never to return.

My roommates stole/drank my entire bottle of Southern Comfort. I didn't even fucking open it. I haven't gone out in 2 weekends and was super stoked to party tonight since I had my last midterm this morning. I'm fucking pissed. It was only like a $30 bottle, which isn't that expensive but still like why the fuck would you steal someone else's stuff?): Ugh.

Just in a pissed off mood today, friend told me he'd be free all day today and that we should hang out. All day hes been sending me shapchats of him getting baked off his ass and Ive mentioned hanging out and he never says yes or no, just changes the subject. Its even more annoying since he has an open house and usually would have me and a few people over in that situation..

I fucking HATE breast cancer month.

Leave it to America to commercialize a fucking disease that kills people. Let's use breast cancer as part of our marketing ploy to generate business and sell more product.

It's fucking sick.

Then you have the NFL doing their whole thing for it. Everyone wearing pink shoes and all that. All the out of shape drunken assholes watching going "hehehe I like boobies". At the same time not mentioning the cancers that will probably kill a bunch of those men because they aren't as marketable.

This is where the argument "It's about awareness" goes out the window in my opinion. Even if awareness is honestly still a part of it in some cases, if we really cared about awareness it would matter how marketable a disease was. I can't see the NFL having a huge month long bash for prostate cancer. What about "Come to bobs cars and $1k of the price of all brown cars sold this month goes to colon cancer research".

Things like that. Instead we've made this whole commercialized bullshit month where we sell shitty pink trinkets and try and make breast cancer into some nice wonderful entity.

It's not, it's not pretty, and it fucking kills people. Think before you use a disease that's killed so many people to sell your stupid fucking products.

We spent all summer building a new hunting shack only to be told that nobody is coming up because there is no deer. First off, in the two days I was up there this weekend, I saw 86 deer. Second, have we ever really went up there with the sole intent of shooting something? No. There is a lot more to this story that has me beyond pissed but I have an exam at 8 that I probably shouldn't get myself stressed.

Saw somebody I went to school with. It's been 10 years since then, and at least 5 since I've hung out.

Anyway he just did not look good. This, his face, just seemed like he might have an opiate addiction. Then his girlfriend came in. Even worse. Real bad. Some track marks on her hands, her face was pretty rough.

Idk, just sad to see. I hate seeing people struggle with addiction. I'm not one to judge, just always a bummer.

Some really good people I've know are, have struggled, A few have died.

Just a bummer honestly.


It's so fucked when you think about it. When you're little you have this idea in your head about how great it is to grow up. When you grow up everything will be awesome. They when you grow up, and lose that innocence you see all the shit in the world that you were naive to. Sometimes I wish I could view the world like that again, even for just a day. That oblivious simplicity

My fucking boyfriend, or ex at this point, just had the audacity to scream at me and then break up with me at a festival that I paid for, fully, and then kick me out of his tent to go walk a half mile in the pouring rain back to my car so I could sleep.

And the stupid reason he ended a perfectly great relationship was because when I told a guy to get off me when he put his hands on me and tried to grind the guy, in my ex's words, gave me a look of surprise. I understood because if I were a guy I'd be pretty bummed and surprise when no girl wanted to dance with me but my ex is convinced that he looked surprised because it was something that had gone on all night. Like what the fuck. Some people are that good at reading intentions, but he's definitely not.

Sorry if that was hard to follow, got sold rc's last night and my brain isn't quite on straight yet.

Mingg, I'm so sorry. My grandfather passed away suddenly in 2013- a few weeks before my high school graduation. It was really tough to go thru.

awe nuts): That's no fun at all. I'm sorry!

He had a stroke two Christmas's ago and he's been in the hospital/a nursing home ever since. It's amazing he survived and got to the point of recovery that he did. He's a tough man. I don't wanna see him in pain anymore though.. kinda just sitting around waiting for the call now...

I got to see him yesterday on his birthday though. My whole family and extended family got to be there. His older brother and sister got to celebrate his birthday with him too(: So it's nice to know we all were together. Just wish I could be there now too.

Ladybugs. Fuck you

I think Im starting to hate you more than bees. Well maybe not but fuck you!

Also there a pink trash/recycling bin I pass every day. I'm guessing it's for breast cancer.

Nothing stops breast cancer like throwing your trash in a pink bin.

I mean it's cool that you're trying to support something, that you're down for a cure, etc, but what the fuck is the point of your pink bin?

Am I the only one who thinks the commercialization of such a fucked up disease is bad?

Companies are like "Let's use something that kills people as a way to market our shitty products". We'll give 1 penny away for every pair or pink shoes, don't worry, we'll mark them up $1 so that we don't loose anything there, and we project we'll sell 3 times as many shoes because of the pink campaign. It's really a win win. Cancer is awesome right?"

In the lift shacks during the winter there's so many god damn lady bugs. You come in in the morning and they're all flying around and it's just like one big cloud of lady bugs. Then they all congregate to the one corner for the rest of the day. It's so fucked.

Actually thought of something real.

Still doing the health care circle jerk. Can't find out how much blood work is because it's not in the system, call the place I got the order from, can't find out how much the bloodword is because it's through the hospital. Also spent about $300 so far and know nothing, have had nothing done.

All I got was some nurse trying to screen me for depression, when I told her that wasn't it, trying to be stealthy(which she wasn't) and screen me anyway.

I love how in the health care industry so many people don't give a fuck about you or what's wrong with you. At the end of the day they still get paid. Maybe they're over worked, maybe there's other shit, maybe they're tired of dealing with people, idk. I'm just saying that if I pay money, and extremely courteous as usual, and I simply want some help, I feel like I could expect some decent service.

I know they aren't doctor house, they aren't going to look at me from across the room, tell me whats wrong with me, make fun of me for something, then give me a shot that magically cure me. I'm realistic. At the same time, I'm still feeling like shit, it's having a shitty impact on my life, making it hard just to live normally let alone work full time and deal with all kinds of stuff.

I was feeling like shit, but manageable shit for a while. Kind of forgot a bit about how bad I had been feeling. Now it was getting increasingly shitty again and today it's just fucked. Hopefully by the start of 2016 I'll at least know what the fuck is wrong with me, and maybe have worked out some sort of plan for getting better, If I can get well and not be out several thousand dollars, that is also a plus. I just can't live like this though.

Maybe I'll start snorting flinstone vitamins and only drinking water I collect by hand from the tops of the most remote mountains. Ill set up some crystals around my bed and do naked yoga under the full moon.

Idk, this just sucks though.




That said, shout out to the Doctors on call guys where I was living in CO. They killed it. Cared about their job, legitimately cared about people, the job and the people were always first, everything else including the money seemed like an afterthought.

Yeah, they all would bunch in the corner of my room at my parents house. They've been landing in my paint, one landed on my nose and got that smelly shit on it, one tried to get down on my pizza in my car today.

i completely agree man. and the fact that the NFL so strongly supports this makes it even that more obvious that the whole franchise is purely about profit gains. I mean fuck, they show more commercials than actual game play.

And breast cancer is so promotable because of the boobies and the color pink. And raising awareness for breast cancer does not step on any toes of the tv sponsors product. Why dont they raise awareness for something more serious? Like the deadliest disease out there, HEART DISEASE. Heart disease kills 5 times more women than men. Thats not even to mention what it does to its greatest demographic, MEN. And the sad part is that the main reason heart disease is so deadly because of a lack of awareness. But hey, raising awareness about working out, staying healthy and not eating chips, beer, candy and unhealthy food is not beneficial. Why? Because the chip, beer, candy and junk food companies sponsor damn near every NFL commercial.

anddddddd fed ex lost my skis.

I requested to pick them up because I'm not home consistently enough to trust it.
So I go in to the location that I picked, triple checked to make sure I was at the right place.
I get there and they're like we have no records, meanwhile I pull it up on my phone and it says its there. They confirmed I was at the right place.
They said it's not on the truck for delivery either. But they will "give me a call if they find it." Bitch this isn't hide and go fucking seek.

So this week is really shitty and I don't know what to do about anything and I think I should just go sleep for 13.5 hours.

Yup. It's prefect because it's something that people can get regardless of what they do. Obviously you can be predisposed to things, but for something like heart disease as you mentioned, people could do a lot by being even a little bit more healthy, but shitty food, beer, soda, chips, etc sponsor the games.

Also imagine the NFL running a month for prostate cancer awareness. I'm sure that would go over great. Basically just goes to show how bullshit the whole thing is.

Skip over diseases that aren't marketable even if they're preventable through lifestyle changes, or more likely to affect your general demographic.

Dedicate a full month to supposedly caring about breast cancer because that has nothing to do with selling products or trying to gain support and viewership from women. Market it all with a "we care so much!" "OMG BOOBIES!" and a nice pink color that everyone can get down with.

I think I told you before but move up to Canada man. Good park jobs, good healthcare and soon we will have all the legal weed.

On another note, fuck the ski industry! Fuck it. Fuck it so hard. Everybody is so fucking fake here. You know that episode of South Park where everybody smells their own farts and are so full of themselves. That's the fucking ski industry.

Ok so a background. I used to build parks for years. Drove cat and built shit right. Gave up seeing my family, moved out west, and worked crazy fucking hours. All I got for it was pushed out because I didn't fit the "skibro" culture. While I'm putting in double shifts at the mountain living off fucking peanuts the homies are off at the club doing coke.

Then I move to another mountain and build park there but then it's fucking politics. More fucking "skibros". More bullshit. Why can't skiing just be about creativity and fun? Why does it have to be about perception, and results, and fucking sponsors, and endless fucking edits.

Sorry for the long post.

I'm thinking about it man. I just don't have time for the run around trying to get healthy. This person can't help you but refers you to that person who can't help you, and refers you back to the original. Nobody calls you back ever. Before I just kind of gave up and said fuck it, I'll just keep working and I'll either get better naturally or just wait till it becomes a huge deal and I just pass out walking down the street or something.


Bummer that you got pushed out. I've had several friends that loved it at one point do the same thing. Want nothing to do with it. I'm honestly surprised I've made it as long as I have after some of my work experiences in the past.

If you ever give it another shot, hopefully it goes better, if not, hopefully you find something that give you that similar enjoyment without al the stress and bullshit.

The amount of weather men and women on my newsfeed is absolutely retarded. Stfu. We get it. It's 75 today and last year we had like 6 feet of snow. This kind of shit happens every year. You should fucking know this by now. Get your head out of your ass and pay the fuck attention and maybe you wouldn't be so surprised.

On the radio there was some awesome dude talking about people od'ing on heroin in NH. He was getting so excited about it.

People are shooting up here, dying here. "Tune in at 10 to find out which town has the most people dying."

Not even joking, dude said something like that. It was like a buzzfeed list. OMG AWESOME MY TOWN HAS MORE PEOPLE DYING! THATS SO COOL.

Fuck people like that. That's why I don't watch the news. It's for people to jerk off to bad shit. "Omg a school bus flew off a cliff? That's so awesome! I mean horrible, so horrible. I should post a facebook status about how sad it is"

I think people are genuinely disappointed if they don't have a tragedy to jerk it to and pretend to care about.

Then they start over dramatizing smaller stuff around them to give themselves the desired effect until their favorite drug, the evening news tragedy strikes again.

Nobody cares, about the news, what's happening in their town, events and shit, just skip that boring stuff and show me some videos of a shopping mall that collapsed killing a bunch of people, or a massive deadly pile up on the interstate. Entertain me with the deaths of other people!

Awesome!

I can't agree with you more. I don't watch the news or read the paper and my parents think that I should and that I need to know what's going on in the world. Fuck that.

Im so fucking frustrated. I have to take an art/music gen ed for school and everything that is somewhat interesting is reserved for intended majors only. Like Basic video, basic documentary, and basic filmmaking are all reserved for majors. Photography is 6 hours of class a week but only a 3 credit class..??? WTF is up with that?

So I look at music, theres like 4 music history classes, fuck that. There's a non-major music theory class. Hell yeah, I play piano and have a solid understanding of music theory as is. So I look up reviews, apparently intended majors who have been playing music throughout high school say the class is impossible. So fuck that. Its also 5 hours a week(7:30PM-10PM monday wednesday) sooooo fuck that lol.

I can't draw a god damn stick figure person for the life of me. And all the art classes are drawing and painting and shit. Kid you not, I seriously have no artistic ability whatsoever. Any digital arts class is reserved for majors too.


Whyyyyyy can't we have basic video classes for non-majors. Why are the music classes so god awful. Why are all these art classes scheduled for 5-6 hours per week but only worth 3 credits? holy shit this is actually impossible. what the fuck UB. what the fuck.

The referenced post has been removed.


Yeah I guess. But I'm not the kind of person who wants to hand in garbage and say "well I tried." I want to do something that I actually might use later on(digital arts) and work hard and get an A or A- because I actually did well.
