This Is For My Own Good

There are certain things in life that perplex me and from time to time I like to collect my thoughts and compile a list of said things, whether it be people, actions or other everyday occurrences that happen during my daily routine. Often times, the perplexity that comes over me gradually evolves into downright anger. So it would be fair to say that when something boggles my mind, most likely because of abject stupidity, I can go a little bit off the deep end. Which is why my doctor suggested that I write these down in one place and not go after people with a machete imbued machine gun, like the great Anger Rampage of '03.

This list will grow in time, but for right now, it's important to release the angry through my fingers and into the keyboard. If you can't stand the nonsensical grumblings of a grouchy curmudgeon, you might want to navigate to another page.

Things that I don't understand and, therefore, piss me off

If your standing on a subway car and the door keeps trying to cut you in half lengthwise, why is it so hard to realize that you need to get the fuck off the train?

People need to go to their miserable jobs or escape the hellish existence of their miserable jobs and you are only holding up that important process.

Yet this one is not:
Are they both not outlandishly ridiculous and scream out pretentiousness? I don't give a shit if the top bike is practical, it looks idiotic. Seeing guys in suits ride one of those things to work is too much to take. How can anyone look impressive when they are riding around on the two wheel equivalent of this absurdity:


That is all for right now. Keep watching this space for more venting. I can already tell it's going to be a long winter and there will be much bitching to do.
