Things that Anger Me
Today i realized there are a few things that really get on my nerves. The first being day lights savings time. I mean really why is it even in existence. I understand that in the olden days that the farmers needed more light in the spring to get their farming activities done, but really its 2005. The majority of people are no longer farmers so in a democratic society I say the majority of the people get together and boycot this nonsensical activity of playing God and tampering with the hours in a day. First off if you farmers want an extra hour of sunlight, then get your ass up an hour early and milk the cows, everyone shouldnt suffer by being forced to work all day long and then come out to 30 minutes of daylight in the fall.
Next on my list is not winning an xbox 360. Incase you didnt know, Mt Dew was doing a contest where they gave away a new xbox360 every 10 minutes for about 2 or 3 months…thats about 9,000 and some odd xboxes they gave away. The way you played was to get a cap with a code under it, go to the website, enter the code and pick a 10 minute interval that you wanted to try and win. They would pull one cap at random from the entries in that time block. Finally a contest where i am rewarded for drinking mt dew. I have been training for this all my life. So i drink an ungodly number of mt dews, which now i cant stand, and Evan and I decide to get the maintenance man at work to collect all the caps that he sees and give them to us. All in all i think we entered this contest over 400 times and we both come out empty handed, and thats not cool. At least we can take our codes and redeem them for a couple of sweatshirts and tshirts that we can give to Marco the maintenance man for all of his troubles of digging through the trash day after day to get the caps for us.
Third thing that angers me this week is flippn traffic. I live all of about 4 miles from work. It takes me a full 8 minutes to get to work in the mornings. Coming home..completly different story. Today I think it was the worst it has ever been. There are about 4 ways i can go home 2 of them i never even try because they are the main roads and always have traffic so I take the back roads and get home in about 15 minutes ..double the time it takes to get to work. Every one has figured out the back roads and today it takes me 45 minutes to get home. That is rediculous that it would ever take 45 minutes to go 4 miles. The picture here pretty much is an exact replication of what i looked like i was so angry on my drive home today.
Thats all i got so far this week, but hey its only Tuesday. But even with all the bad, there is still some good that makes it all worth while. Coming home to a dog that has no knowledge of any of those things and his only joy in life is seeing me come home and he gets so excited that he cant control his body from going in every direction and jumping up and down to greet me, Great friends and family to hang out with and are always there whenever you need them. And lastly good music. Lately Ive been listening to alot of O.A.R., thanks to Evan mostly. I heard of them first back in college my freshman year, and thought they were just an OK dave matthews rip off and didnt much listen to them. But recently started listening to them more and more and now i cant get enough of them. So check them out.
