Well, Matt just posted a link to the trailer for Fahrenheit 911 to my comments for reasons I can't fathom. Maybe he's trying to get my hackles up, who knows. I haven't really gone off about Michael Moore in a while because while I despise him, I've been trying to understand exactly why I hate him so. On one hand, the idea that so many people are getting their political opinions from a man with a very obvious agenda is disconcerting. If you're going lean to the left politically, I have no problem with that. If you're going to lean to the left politically because some dude that lives in Hollywoodland made some witty "movies", well, that's just plain retarded.
There's another point in there too. He is rich. Really rich. He's also fat and white. Last time I checked, this is why liberals hated conservatives. Hrmm, fat, rich, white, lives in a world where money and fame disconnect him from the daily life of 95% of his fellow Americans who claim he's the only one who understands the "people". Who are these "people?" Rich, liberal, media dependent douche bags? I sure as hell am not one of these people.
One of the biggest things that upsets me about this new "movie" is the fact that none of it seems too amazingly shocking. A politically powerful family from America (The Bush Family) has ties to a politically powerful family from a allied nation (Saudi Arabia). Wow, you've blown my fucking mind Mr. Moore. John Aschroft wants to take peoples' freedoms away. My God, why have you been hiding this information? People who murdered people in roadside missile attacks in Iraq are being mistreated by the friends of the people they killed. You could topple governments with this smoking gun! Rich congress members who voted for the war don't want their trust fund kids to enlist in the army. Man, you've changed the political landscape permanently!
There's nothing here except venom and an unfocused, vitriolic attack against "the powers that be", that just happen to "be" George W. Bush. Then again, I don't recall Mr. Moore being all that up in arms when Clinton got political and financial support from Red - Fucking - China for his reelection, and then turned a blind eye to the fact that they murder their own citizens on a daily basis and gave them Most Favored Nation trade status. No, the fact that a powerful family who was about to get attacked in retribution for the 9/11 attacks pulled some strings to get a plane out of the country is proof that there's a New World Order afoot.
Wake up, d bags.

It's been around 24 hours since I decided to remove the ability to leave comments on the site, and here's a sampling of the communication I've received from my loyal readership thus far:
(Received in a series of Feedback messages from one person in the span of 2 minutes):
- Yea, cause our empty skulls don't compare to the socks post! or the Men in robes post!! weak...
- hahahaha "news"
- RESTORE THE COMMENTS YOU JEW
- ITS NOT BACK YET
- DO IT FOR JOHNNY
(Taken from the Poll Comments):
- HEY HEY! SMOKE WEED EVERY DAY!
Man, with input like that, I wonder why I ever took the comments away! Look at what I'm failing to share with the world! Now, I love most of you here, so I'm going to let you in on a little secret: when I started this website around 4 years ago (egads! it's been that long), I started it for some reason I haven't figured out just yet, but I'm pretty damn sure it wasn't to give my friends a public forum to practice their verbal douche baggery.

 Well, I've ripped the comment section out, as I'm sure you would have realized in two minutes after you've read this and went to post the funny non sequitur we all know and love you for. Maybe you were going to let the world know that you are hip and funny by posting the picture of Gary Coleman and David Haselhoff giving their thumbs up in front of Kitt from Knight Rider. Or maybe you were going to post the hilarious sound clip of the Delta Airline commercial done in jive. Man, I can't get enough of that one! Or maybe you're just going to post a head's up like, "let's do something tomorrow." Either way, I didn't put the comment system up there so that people too lazy to get their own damn website could have a place to post whatever retarded train of thought is barreling through their empty skull at the moment.
I'm sure this is a disappointment to quite a few of you, but truth be told, I haven't been the least bit happy with what it's brought to the site since I put it up. Even if it were used for its intended purpose, it gives me a feeling of being critiqued when posting things and I shouldn't, because no matter how you dress it up, this is a journal, or "blog" as the kids call it these days, And I shouldn't decide not to post things, or try to word things differently just because others are going to be reading it and possible opening up their blow holes to let me know what they think of it.
Maybe it will go back up after a while, maybe I'll just put up a commenting system that isn't connected to the news posts so people can still chat and make plans, not really sure. Shoot me some feedback (it's the link named "feedback" at the top) if you have an opinion one way or the other. After all, It's been there the whole time so you can send me messages that don't really belong in the comments for a given news post.

| THE SOCKS | | Category: Rant

 So I have all these black socks in my closet. Every morning I take a pair and sit down on the edge of my bed and try to put my socks on. The problem is I have about 3 or 4 pairs of socks in which one of the socks is for some reason way too small.
I slip them on, give them a healthy tug, and one will always stop with my heel still around halfway in the ribbed elastic part of the sock. This unto itself is no reason for alarm, but for some reason has begun to drive me into a furious fit of anger. I hurl the socks across the room screaming obscenities at my girlfriend for having put me through this horrendous debacle once more! How dare she put the too small sock pairs in my closet again!
"Haven't we been through this enough already? In the pair is one sock that is too small, you said that you would use them and not mix them in with my good socks again," I say.
I then begin thinking what I will tell the paramedics when they arrive to try to put her back together again. I curse God himself for having the gall to yet again put me through this Jobe-ian test of patience.
Then I realize I am about to kill people over a sock, so I sit for a moment pondering my own inability to cope with minor, random unpleasantness and begin to feel pretty silly. I wonder how mere seconds ago I was in a blinding rage over socks. I walk over to the closet and grab another pair, and the cycle of life repeats itself.

| ON WEBLOGGING | | Category: Rant

I seem to be having problems getting motivated to update the site and I believe I've figured out why.
After the redesign, I tried to move away from just "weblogging" and move more towards actually writing something worth reading when I posted. What I found out about myself in the process is that I have a tendency to not post anything unless I have something profound to write about. Well maybe not profound, but at least something that's interesting to read and can last more than two paragraphs.
The downside of this discovery is that the longer I go without posting, the longer I wait until something more profound comes to me to write about, which then creates a feedback loop and an exponentially longer wait between posts.
Another discovered downfall to this is that when people actually comment on the post in the comments (rarely) their attention spans start to collapse after about the third comment and they spiral off into throwing up links to things they've found or just try to one up each other in the game of "who can spout out more non-sequitur bullshit."
I've decided that there's only one conclusion, post a lot more about less profound shit.
