Bachelor Multitasking – I can throw a semi-clean shirt in the general direction of my room with one hand without spilling the full bowl of cereal that I’m carrying in my left hand.

You should'nt make me angry… in the morning.
Life, RandomnessI don’t know if it was the fact that I hadn’t had my coffee yet, or that loud noises in the morning really set me off, or just that violence against women in general really pisses me off… but some guy on the metro just got a earful of Mark’s patented blind rage.
I was just sitting there reading the metro paper when I heard a guy’s voice yell “Stop Pushing me!” , “You’re pushing me!” Like most outbursts on a quiet crowded metro it came as quite a shock to my senses. I turned around to see a man in his late 40’s yelling in the face of a woman about a foot shorter and 20 years younger that him. Without any response from her or anyone around him that I could see his shouting quickly turned into “F*** You! F*** You!”
That’s when the details of this confrontation sort of get fuzzy for me because I went into this sort of blind rage but I’m pretty sure I stood up turned around yelled at him and then pointed at him and yelled “Why don’t you shut the F*** up you big piece of s***” or possibly “You want to yell at someone, why don’t you pick on someone your own size”. To which I swear he looked over at me and said “But… she’s pushing me” because he sounded like a little kid, the only thing I could think to say was… “Boo hoo, she’s pushing me.” and maybe something about yelling at a woman… I don’t know really… it was pretty intense.
I’m actually really thankful that there were so many people in between us because in my Mark-Hulk rage I probably would have grabbed him by the neck and thrown him off the train… and that would have been bad… enjoyable… but bad. I really need to learn to handle these situations in a more “Fezzik from Princess Bride” sort of way and less HULK style. But I think Laurel was proud of me in some way.

Know-it-alls, shouldn't evolution have sorted them out?
Life, RantsI hate to make an argument against evolution, but isn’t the existence of Know-it-all people (KIAPs) proof that Evolution doesn’t exist? I hate these people, they aren’t good to talk to, they aren’t good to argue with, they aren’t even good to yell at. They’re always right even when they’re wrong, really really wrong. What’s even worse is having a conversation on a subject that you don’t really fully understand, and you fully admit that, and coming out of it feeling like an idiot anyway.
How do these people mate? It’s mostly men who are KIAPs, the women don’t seem to bug me as much because ALL women think they’re right all the time anyways. I don’t understand what kind of woman would want to be with a guy who constantly tells her that she’s wrong. It’s like pushing two north pole magnets together. People should be evolving into better human beings, not pompous jerks.
But I guess thats in a perfect world.
Damn dirty KIAPs!

Life, RantsBefore I worked here I was uncomfortable pooping in a public bathroom. I think everybody is a little. You can’t spread out like at home, theres no reading material, and of course theres somebody else about 2 feet away doing the exact same thing.
I was afraid to make any noise. Now I realize that its like prision in there. You have to come in and stake your claim. Make that toilet you’re bitch, or you will become its bitch.
That’s what happened today. Don’t know if it was the JBCs (Junior Bacon Cheeseburgers) from last night, the caramel scone from this morning, or the gyro from lunch but I was back in the bathroom for the 3rd time today. The first two rounds had gone according to plan. So like a heavyweight fighter I swaggered back into the ring for a third time. No audience at first, but then the challenger entered. 8 thought this was going to be easy when I heard the crinkle of paper ass gasket. I let loose a satisfying barrage. Then waited for the challenger.
Then I heard it…
It sounded like he had just dropped a hard sided suitcase filled with bananas and they all spilled out. I heard a finishing grunt and knew I’d been beaten. I sat there until he triumphantly strode out of the stall,washed his hands,and Left. I will tell my children “I have seen the shoes of a legend and they are reasonably priced black leather”

Update Albo still a douche. Rust also douche.
Life, RantsA quote from Albo
“My job as a delegate is to make people slow down and build some roads,” Albo said. “This bill does both.”
No dumbass, you can’t do both. The intake of money comes from the fact that people aren’t slowing down and thus have to pay your insane fine.
Also.
In Virginia, the fee can be paid over three years. After the first third is paid at the courthouse, the other two are to be billed by the state Department of Motor Vehicles. DMV officials have not determined how that will work, a spokeswoman said.
So this law goes into effect in 7 days and you haven’t even worked out the payment details? Stinks like you snuck this into a larger bill because there’s no way this would pass on its own. OH WHAT’S THAT? You tried to pass this bill before and it didn’t work. I love politics!
OH WAIT, I fucking hate politics.
Still pissed off…
Vegans… an Argument You Can’t Win.
Life, RantsEvery once in a while I try to argue with people. These people are usually much more adept at arguing than me and I usually just give up. They think they’ve won, but in reality they just care more about their stupid problem than I do.
Vegans seem to love to talk about being vegan. (I’m a 5th level vegan, I dont eat anything that casts a shadow) I have no problem with a person being against the inhumane treatment of animals. Dog and Cats especially. I do think that some of the meat industry disgusting and there should be tighter regulations (thank you Fast Food Nation). But here’s the problem, we eat meat. Say… 90% of Americans are omnivores, off the top of my head thats about 270ish million people. How can you provide meat for that amount of people and not have some kind of large scale meat industry that keeps the meat movin? We’re really in a no win situation here, either eat, or be nice to the cows/chickens/etc.
What got me started on this is that I just read an article about a little girl (6weeks) who died because her parents were vegan and they starved her to death. Hopefully they will get some deserved punishment. Here’s a link to an Op-Ed piece in the New Your Times that says the rest of what I want to say… because I’m tired of arguing about it.
My favorite line of the article:
There are no vegan societies for a simple reason: a vegan diet is not adequate in the long run.
