Grind My Gears

You know what grinds my gears?  The office.  You ever work somewhere and you print a document, and you get up, ready to pick it up and lo and behold, what is there.  Oh I don't know a stack of about 40 pieces of paper.  So what do you do, well you rummage through about 33 or 34 pages, and you finally come up to your document.  You sit back down and then you think to yourself, what was this document about again?  Lucky for me this hasn't really been a major problem at my own office.  So "legendary," on my end.  However, when it was.  Boy, it did't make me happy.  I use to just look at all the repeated documents, and after about an hour of just sitting there, I would take an entire stack, and toss them.  Or rather, shred them.  Just seems like the most intelligent thing to do.

So here's the thing people, if you work at an office, and you print documents, get up and get them.  And another thing, if you do decide to leave them there for about an hour and a half, expect it to be thrown away.  Possibly by me.  Thanks kindly all.

Grind My Gears

You know what grinds my gear?  Uncultured people.  Why does everyone have to assume their race is the best.  Why can't we live in a world that is suppose to be for everyone.  I still don't get it, even in this day and age.  We still have bullshit racism.  Blacks hate Asians, Asians hate Hispanics, Hispanics hates Europeans, and Whites hate everyone.  That last one was a joke.  Seriously though, why do we still have all this hate in this world.  I'm going to make this short tonight.  Grow up, learn a different culture, and broaden your world.  There is more to life than what's in your box.

Second thing that grinds my gears.  When receiving products from a copy, and they come shipped broken, and not working.  I've waited weeks for this record player that Wei got me, and what happens, that shit is broken.  Now I'm out 40 dollars worth of LPs, and I need to send one back and getting a new record player.  Shit makes me mad.  Thanks Wei for the record player though.  It's the thought that counts.  *Sigh*  Gotta get another one.

Well enjoy your Monday everyone, tomorrow will be something better.  However for tonight, I'm tired, and I just want to get ready for bed.  Nighty-night y'all.

Grind My Gears

Ello ello white America, assassinate my character...First things first, Happy New Year everyone!  So, as you may know today is Monday, and the first order of business is this...what grinds my gears.  So lets begin the process, and lets move in to the new year!!

So this weeks topic of annoyance to me is this, being a Philadelphia sports fan for the last 25 years I guess. Besides the one glimmer of joy in our city of sports.  The 2008 World Series, not much else has gone our way.  Disappointment after disappointment, however I should appreciate that one though.  Even though I do, I guess I would really like something else, once you get the taste, you just want more.  However lets take a real look at my disappointment.

Lets start with baseball, since 08' the Phillies have been awesome contenders, but year after year we have been falling short.  Makes me sad, and this year was the cream of the crop.  After acquiring Cliff Lee and winning 102 games, getting knocked out in the first round in a 5 game series against the St. Louis Cardinals is extremely disappointing, especially when we were expected to win the entire thing.  After all pitching win games right?  Ugh...disappointment.

Next, basketball.  Yeah, the Sixers, since they've lost Iverson the first time, and losing the championship series back in the 2000-2001 season to the Lakers.  Well things have pretty much halted for the Sixers, getting back to that "Iverson," era is going to take some time, however the Sixers are capable of doing it.  However how disappointing is it going to be for us Philadelphians to watch another year of the Sixers losing.  Probably not that much since no one is watching at the moment, but for some of us that are still trying to root for them, it's a little disheartening still.

Okay, how about the Philadelphia Eagles?  They're great right?  They're so great we can make it through anything right...well nope.  After a season where we are suppose to be the "Dream Team," we go through the season 8-8, and not making the playoffs.  On top of all that, we knew last week that we weren't going to be in.  It seems like the Eagles are complacent with being mediocre.  Us as fans...we don't feel that way at all.  However we don't run the team, however change is needed.

Lastly, the Philadelphia Flyers, after today's debacle of a game, between the refs, and all the lazy game playing it's just a little disappointing is all.  I understand that it's just a regular game, and technically there isn't really much to worry about, however it's really like this to me, after all the hype of this game being setup, and after what is suppose to be a win for us, once again it's a loss.

So here it is, it's disappointing sometimes to be a Philadelphia sports fan.  I understand that that's just the way it goes, however it's disheartening.  That is all really.  So this is where I'm going with it.  Sometimes being a sports fan, you gotta go with the good and the bad.  And yes being a Philadelphian sports fan hurts at times...but I gotta believe that there are good days ahead of us.  Come on Sixer/Flyers/Phillies/Eagles...make it happen, make it a 4 sports team town.  Make us blue collar fans have a reason to continue in believing in you.  And you know what, we expect change, and not just being complacent with mediocrity.

Grind My Gears

Today, I'm going to speak of a serious topic.  It's a little controversial, and well, it's a little fucked up.  I'm going to curse a little cause well.  I'm mad.  However, this is what grinds my gear on this Monday.  And what grind my gears today?  Well that today folks...is fuckers being racist.


I have an awesome friend on Facebook.  She's a great person, and one of her statuses today was, "Why does China get to have a town in every city of the world?"  I agree.  Why do the Chinese get to have one of their towns in every city of the world?  However, this isn't what ticks me off.  It's what one of her idiot friend preaches.  A pure douche bag...here, I'll give a taste of what he wrote, and it is an exact quote...


"Cause that's the white man putting it in ur face how much he hate black people, black people been over here since forever, and don't even own part of a town, but as soon as that slang eye big apple head Chinese man get here he get a store in china town."


And about 45 minutes later he adds...


"The white man (devil) keeps showing us he hate blacks, Hispanics, and native Indians who make fried chicken better than black people, but we got to go to the Arabs for it, who make rice better than our Hispanic people, yet we got to go to the Chinese for rice, these other nations half way can't even speak English and the white man set them up to own businesses."


Awesome, I love that bigotry is still alive and well today.  You preach that you've been here forever, however what you don't know is that you only look at your own history.  Look at it as a whole would you?  You weren't the only ones that were forced over here you racist fuck, we all have gone through hardships, what makes your shit don't stink you fuck?  What makes you so special.  You are honestly no better than those so called white man.  This is a land of opportunity, you think everything was handed to us?  Wow, you're a fucking moron, we worked, and just didn't complain about shit.  Yet all you can do is continue to hate.  It's a good thing Mr. Kings word still hasn't hit anywhere in your brain.  By frankly, it must be that thick as shit skull of yours.  I forgot how great you are, you must be better than everyone else.  And when I say you.  I mean just you.  Cause, by frankly, I think black people are awesome, it's your bigotry ass that I hate.  
Oh and yeah, I'm sorry for stealing all your rice.  I'm sorry that, the Chinese are some of the main consumers of the product.  I'm sorry that we eat to live, and not live to eat.  It is honestly not out of choice, but out of necessity, you fucking jackass.  God this pissed me off today.  Seriously, before I get flagged for the use of obscenities I'm just going to stop.  Honestly, I was contemplating on whether or not I should write this jackasses name or not, but I decided against it.  I let this bigot continue to be a bigot.  I'll let him think that god only created his race only and not any other race. I'll let him believe that the US of A was only made for him, and if it was up to him, he wouldn't need any of our cultural influence.  Good job jackass...hope you have a great time in your imaginary USA.  Fucker.

Grinds My Gears

You know what grinds my gears?  The Christmas season.  Now I'm not an everyday Scrooge, and I'm definitely not hating on the holiday.  I think I'm hating what the season has officially become.  It has become this commercialized, and overbearing thought that we must give give give.  Now, I'm not one to gripe on buying gifts for family and friends, however I don't like it when big corporate America is forcing and shoving it down our throat.  Kinda makes me sick sometimes.  Welcome to the holiday known as "Stressmas."  Yup, this is it.

Let's begin with this holiday and how it begins.  Stressmas takes away from one of the greatest holiday that America celebrates.  Thanksgiving.  As soon as the Halloween decorations are being taken down, and you're getting ready to put up your autumn/Thanksgiving decorations, Christmas lights and decorations go up right away.  What does Christmas have over Thanksgiving.  Really a holiday that is here to spread the word of thanks and spending time with family, and giving thanks to be with said family.  Thanksgiving is the holiday we should really be celebrating and not skipping over.  I don't get the audacity of the people giving special treatment to a holiday that doesn't deserve that much hype, however what do I know.  It's not my religion.  Oh, that's right we really don't get a say do we now.  Jerks.

The presents, oh how we must buy buy buy.  And it all begins on that Black Friday rush.  Yes it's great, boost the economy, get stuff, make money, get America to be big and strong.  Yay!!!  Ugh...more like a pain in the ass.  See, instead of hearing complaints about people not getting things they want, shouldn't people be complaining about why aren't we spending more time with each other.  That's what people should truly be complaining about.  It should be a time of reflection and making resolutions for a new year. That's what Christmas should be really about.

Well folks, this is the reason why Christmas grinds my gears at times.  Instead of spending it thinking what we should be getting it.  We should be thinking how can we be more giving and more caring.  How can we spread joy and spread the wealth to people that cannot even obtain any of it.  This is what Christmas should be about.  A time where we spend a great deal of time with our families and friends, and to reflect on the past year.  To look forward to the new year ahead, and to enjoy the time we have on this planet.  Also, seriously, there really is no need to skip over Thanksgiving, remember that people.

You Know What Grinds my Gears

So tonight, my blog is going to be a grind my gears editorial.  If you have watched, "Family Guy" before, then let me first say this.  Welcome to the the real world.  I apologize for the rock that you have been living under all these years.  Isn't fresh air nice?  Okay okay, enough with the sarcasm.  Seriously, if you type in "Family Guy" and "What Grinds my Gears" you know what bit I'm biting off of.  However it's okay.  We all bite off of somebody every now and then.  Hell Family Guy does it all the time.  Deal with it.

Okay seriously back to the blog.  Since this is my first "You know what Grinds my Gear," section, lets make it a good one shall we?  You know what grinds my gears?  The youth of today.  Now granted I'm only 27, and that technically doesn't put me in old man territory..."Ow, my knees!!"  However, kids today, no respect for their elders, and no respect for the classics.  When did we grow up to teach our kids to be such pussies and douches?  Honestly, I got these kids riding around my neighborhood thinking they're tough shit, cause they look like wannabe thugs with sagging jeans.  Screaming, I'm gangsta this and I'm gangsta that.  Punk you aren't shit.  You know who's a fucking gangster?  Charlie "Lucky" Luciano, Frank Costello, Al Capone, heck I'll even throw in the Teflon Don, "John Gotti."  Yeah these guys were gangsters.  They also had loyalty.  Even after the attempt on his life, and knowing who was trying to kill him, Frank Costello still didn't give up the name.  Yeah, the old guys were tougher...stupid punk kids think they're all cool holding their guns sideways.  *SIGH*

And the respect nowadays?  Jebus, what happened there?  All I see are kids back talking to parents, screaming stupid shit at people walking by.  Being loud and obnoxious for no reason.  That's not acting out, that's called being a fucking dick.  Geez...you know what these kids need?  A swift punch to the face.  My fist your face.  Stupid jerk kids.  If assault was legal, some kids would seriously be punched already.  *SIGH*

And another thing, oh don't get me started.  If you're looking for a death wish, then yes please continue to stand out in the middle of the road and walk like you own the god damn street.  I swear to god if I see a kid walking down the middle of the road, I'm literally going to stop my car, get out next to them, move next to the dumb kid, drop kick his ass, pick up his sorry behind, and then yell at him, and when all that is finished, I'm going to say, "Now go home and tell your parents that I just saved your life from a car that would have probably clipped you and then left you here on the side of the road for dead."  There are fucking sidewalks for a reason...jebus, gosh darn jebus. *SIGH*

So this ends my "Grind my Gears," section.  Honestly, parents, straighten your kids up.  I know I have no right to tell you what to do with your children.  Honestly, I was one once as well, however I was a stand up kid along with a lot of other of my friends.  We did dumb things, but we also knew the words respect and loyalty.  It all starts with the parents, if you were born an asshole, your kids will be one too.  However, it's never too late to change the person you are.  Life is all about change.  Do it now, not only for yourself, but also do it for the kids.  "Will someone please think of the children." - Helen Lovejoy
