Rant No. 7

Stupid little middle school girls.

Okay so-this rant is a wee bit pointed. Oh well. Grow up and deal with it. You do have to admitt that some girls, think they are a lot more special than they really are. You know the ones. You’ve been in school before, rode the bus, been out to the mall. You can always pick them out of the crowd. This isn’t a compliment.

Kids these days.
I know I’m only a ‘kid’ myself, but I’m talking about the younger ones. And aren’t I a good source to go too? I know a lot about this generation – I ‘observe’ more than I ‘do’. More people should do both. Most people exist. To a certain point that’s all I do. I go through the motions but don’t do anything about, well anything. I’m changing that. But most other people aren’t. Hence these little middle schoolers. But you can go further and include many kids in my generation.

Do they know what’s going on in the world? Do they watch the news? Are they going to vote when they’re able? What are they doing to save the world?

Nothing.
They’re existing. Going through a normal teenage life-how they’re supposed to act. Sure it’s fun, and yeah, everyone’s doing it. But we need more help in this world. With the growing number of younger people and the decreasing of the old (it’s just a fact of life okay?), less and less [younger] people know what’s going on.

It’s just sad.

And I ask; What’s the world coming to?

Silly people who still take electives in high school when they have no business still doing them.

Seriously guys. It’s kinda like American Idol. If you suck, you suck. You have no business still perusing this career. Here’s a news flash for everyone; YOUR FAMILY, LIES. They’re probably the biggest liars you’ll ever meet. They build you up to make you feel better and PRAY to GOD that someone will tell you other wise so you’ll stop.

If people cringe at the sound of your voice, or can’t look you in the eye, or even cry at the end of you singing – and they AREN’T happy tears; these are all probably good signs that you should stop singing.

People are afraid of hurting other people’s feelings or lowering people self esteem. I’m guilty of it, most of my friends if not all are guilty of it. Hell, you’re probably even guilty of it.

So what are we really going to do?
Probably go on and keep doing the same thing. Making people feel good about themselves while other people will come right out and tell you you suck. Then what are you going to do? Lie, and tell them to forget that person, that they’re jealous?

Oh yeah, you’ll do it.
Maybe not tomorrow, or the next day. But within a week, I bet you will. Oh, you’ll lie tomorrow. Lying’s practically a fact of life now. You can’t get away from it no matter where you go. [Except if you live in a cave in the woods, but seriously, how many of those people do you come across now-a-days?]

So how’s about a little honesty once in a while? Don’t they say that honesty is the best policy?

And I ask; What is the world coming to?

(This was actually supposed to be for last night. Oops.)

I was watching the local news last night and a commercial came of for another county’s ambulance service. But I immediately took notice that this was a rather strange ad.

First off, it showed [a dramatization] an ambulance missing a house because it did not have an adequate number displayed on their mailbox. Um, okay. I thought that when people dialed 911 or a help number that the would have to give an address and general directions. Now I know some people might be too flustered to do so, but still, can’t the paramedics use some common sense here?

The commercial went on to give an entirely random number for a help line – then tell the people who were calling to go out and attach their house number to there mailbox allwith the happy slogan at the bottom, ‘IT’S YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.’

Our responsibility for what, exactly? Our responsibility to hope that our paramedics have some common sense so they can figure out where too find us when we could be dying?!I mean, I’ve been in the situation before, and you are thinking very clearly if you hurt or sick to be worrying about sticking your house number on your mailbox.

Now I’ve also meet more than a dozen paramedics and their rather smart. I think that they can work with the computers and what little information they’re given from a phone call to find someone if there’s a serious problem.

Perhaps I’m putting too much faith in them, but who else is going to come save you?

And I ask; What is the world coming to?

You know what’s rather annoying, now that I’m older?

Colouring.

Yes colouring, one of a child’s favourite past times. So how come now, when you’re older, you don’t find as much joy in this simple activity? Is it because now, everything else seems so much more important? Because we have bigger and better things to do? Is it because now, it’s more of a chore instead of a fun way to past the time?

I mean, honestly, when do you take time out of your day to just sit and colour? Colour anything – but only for fun?

I didn’t think so.

So when do you colour? When you have a big project due and you’re report needs a little something else. When you’re making something and it has to stand out from all the rest. For school, for work. But nary for fun.

Maybe we should take time out of lives to colour. None of this ‘inside the line’ crap we were fed when we were five. No, colour anything, scribble really, but you have to enjoy it.

Perhaps people would be a lot less stressed. But then what do I know? I’m just a silly little teenager.

And I ask; What is the world coming to?

Growl. You know what I hate? When you’re on a site, like MySpace^TM, where you require a password to be on the site but when you try to navigate to another page – it randomly kicks you off!

Now I know with MySpace^TM this is the number one way people phish people’s passwords. BUT STILL! Lately it HAS been sending me back to the real main page instead of a fake one. WHY IS THIS HAPPENING? Is it so hard to keep people logged in for a long period of time? Do you need to randomly kick people off so you can make sure that it really is the right person accessing the site?

There has to be a better way to figure all of this out.

What’s worse is when you’re on [MySpace^TM] and you try to access something, say a blocked profile – but the person has just added you, and it keeps sending you back to the ‘This Profile Is Set To Private. You Must Be This Person’s Friend To Access This Webpage’ TENFOLD! Over and over till FINALLY, it decides to say, ‘Oh yeah, by the way, we kicked you off. Sign back in NOW! OH WAIT! Make sure you see the right http:// at the top or someone’s trying to phish you password – but I know some idiots out there won’t listen so just go back to what you were doing. Or get a life!’

Hrmph. I hate changing my passwords. There’s another one to add to the list of ones I already have and have to remember. My brain can only take so much!

I ask; What is the world coming to?

OKAY. I’m writting this while I’m currently angry as-just. ARGH.

I absolutly HATE, DEPLORE, DETEST-my vocabulary is escaping me at the moment or I would have more words her- chain messages of ANY sort!

Okay so maybe at the beginning the e-mail messages were okay. Some were cute, funny even. As I’ve gotten older I’ve gotten less and less and I’m perfectly okay with that. They were the vain of my existance and wound up hated to sent them to 39 people in 3 minutes to prove they were still my friend.

THEN, MySpace became popular so what did we have to start of here? MORE CHAIN MESSAGES! THESE, even more ridiculous than the e-mail ones! “POST THIS IN 2309423 SECONDS OR A CLOWN WILL COME RAPE YOUR DOG AND KILL YOU IN YOUR SLEEP!” “POST THIS IS 2 SECONDS AND YOUR TRUE LOVE WILL CALL  YOU AT MIDNIGHT!” “POST THIS IN 34 SECONDS OR YOU WILL HAVE A BAD SEX LIFE FOR 44 YEARS!” These have become even worse than the e-mail ones. The WORSE possible people send these out-but then everyone the come in contact with posts the SAME MESSAGE! So then my bulletins are backed up with the same, dumb, crap! HEY-YEAH YOU! LISTEN UP! THESE. ARE NOT. REAL!!! No clown is going to rape you dog, your mom won’t die, and if you lucky you will actually find your true love reguardless. No crappy, half-wit message is going to dictate what happens in your life. GEEZ.

Now, to the point which fuled my rant for tonight. TEXT MESSAGE E-MAILS! I want to do horrible things to every one of my friends who ever send me one of these, no matter how much I already like them! “SEND THIS TO 10 FRIENDS TO SHOW YOU LOVE THEM!” “PASS THE FRIENDSHIP ROSE AROUND IN HONOR OF NATION FRIENDSHIP DAY!” “PASS THIS ON TO 15 FRIENDS AND YOU’RE TRUE LOVE’S NAME WILL APPEAR IN YOU INBOX, NO LIE!” What is WRONG with people?! NONE OF THIS IS TRUE!

Okay, so I thought none of it was true. Until tonight. I just recieved a text message from a dear friend of mine saying “I just shut off your phone haha”. BUT this time, MY PHONE ACTUALLY TURNS OFF! Without ME turning it off! HOW may I ask is this funny in anyway?! How do we know these aren’t the next computer virus’? Now my phone is old-and kinda crappy but I need that phone. I don’t have the money to get a new one, with a new plan. I don’t want to have to worry about my phone acting up now because of what everyone thought would be a hilarious joke.

This may seem meaningless, and pointless to you. Hell, you might even be one of the sods that believe in all that mama jama but I’m not. It’s horrid and pointless. GO FIND A HOBBY! READ! No one acutally does that any more! Write something! ANYTHING! No one really does that any more either! DO SOME HOMEWORK! Hell, most people NEED to do this. GET LIVES PEOPLE!

And don’t be one of the people who just send them along because you friends did it or something, or you’d feel bad. That’s just weak. I’m sorry but it’s the truth. Sure, you might think it worth your time, but it’s a horrible waste of others. Find a different way to express your feelings for someone. OH here’s a new idea, COME UP WITH SOMETHING OF YOUR OWN. YEAH! I know it’s NEVER been used before, and you might have to THINK a little bit to come up with some sentences  that make sence-OH DEAR, but then you have to think of how you really feel and personalize it! GASP! No. If you can’t think of how YOU feel-don’t bother sending me anything at all.

Rant No. 1

I’ve decided this should be a rant blogg, since I have so much to rant about. Mmhm.

Today’s rant is going to be about the disappointments of Harry Potter as of late. This has been a multitude and disappointments lately that haven’t really had anything to do with our fandom. It’s the extra stuff that they have been planning, BUT HAVE FALLEN THROUGH!

Example numero uno!
Not the previous episode of American Idol, but the one before it; American Idol Gives Back, the fandom was supposed to be treated to the delights of Daniel Radcliffe in the form of a pre-recorded segment. My best friend and I, who usually don’t watch American Idol (because lets face it, who’s been all the great since Kelly Clarkson?), watching for THE SOUL PURPOSE of seeing Daniel Radcliffe. It had been all over the fandom and I’m sure many of us who didn’t normally watch this show, tuned in only to be sorely disappointed. My friend and I watched all 2 hours and were gobsmacked at the end when we had still not seen our Daniel. We tried reasoning with ourselfs. Maybe we had just over looked it. Was he in that ONE.ORG commercial with Bono? Surely not, we would have noticed. Now we know that American Idol had booked too many segments (or commercials in one viewers opinion) and did not have enough time so show all of what they had recorded. -_- You have got to be kidding me. And now they’re saying that maybe there’s a chance that they’ll show it in a future airing. WHAT?! My friend and I have to watch to the end-probably only to be disappointed again?! Come on.

Example numero dos!
The airbrushing of one of the Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoneix movie pictures. Actually it’s the air brushing and enhansment said movie poster. Poor Ginny Weasley has been airbrushed and photoshopped BEYOND RECOGNITION! My aforementioned friend had to ask me who exactly was this mystery girl in the poster. “Surely that isn’t Ginny?!” It was. First of all; she looks like a man. More to the point a cross dressing man. Her hair looks fake as hell and she looks nothing like any of the other pictures we’ve seen her in. Emma Watson is a whole other story I don’t even feel like covering. Hollywood is the most body obsessed-UGH. It’s not even worth my time.

Example numero tres!
This one actually just happened to this aforementioned friend and me today. We decided to get a whole bunch of our friends together to go see Spiderman 3. Now if you know us, we’re not all that in to Spiderman. It’s an okay movie, the first one was. But this, we only went to go see because the Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoneix international trailer was suppose to be one of the trailers. The SECOND movie EVER to have a Harry Potter preview, the FIRST to have the international one (the BETTER one!). My friend and I nearly lost it. If we hadn’t been so tired we would haven’t gotten up and left the theater and gone to do something else. Then we had to sit for 2 and 1/2 hours through a crappy movie!

Sigh. A horrifing disappointment to us and a few more of our friends. What is wrong with the fandom? What? What have we done? We should exstatic over all the info we’ve been reciving over the movie and book coming out in about 3 months, but yet here I am.

I ask; What is the world coming to?
