A Man Is No One's blog: "Rants"

I've lost track of the number of times I've heard things from ladies such as: COME RATE MY PICS AND LEAVE COMMENTS I'M IN A CONTEST, COME VOTE FOR ME GO CHECK OUT THESE HOTTIES AND LEAVE THEM LOTS OF LOVE I NEED TO LEVEL UP, HELP ME PLZ The list goes on. Usually us guys are very good about doing these things too. So why is it that you ladies never return the favor? I'm not speaking of all ladies, of course. There are lots of you who DO do these things. Most likely if you are even reading this you are one of the few who rate and comment just as religiously as us guys. I keep hearing "Let's get some guys in the top 10". Well, guess what. It'll never happen when women don't rate the guys just as much as the guys rate the women. I've been on level 11 for over 2 weeks, and yet some women who JOINED only a week ago are already past me. So I think from now on I will reserve my ratings and votes and comments for those deserving of them. I'm tired of feeling like a bandaid, there to make you feel better then discarded feeling sticky and nasty.

You know what really grinds my gears? Someone asks you for advice and then they don't listen, which is their perogative. But then when they do something else and it doesn't work, and then they do things like you suggested initially and it does work, they're like "Why didn't I try that before?" The answer is simple. BECAUSE YOU'RE A DUMBASS!! I swear to god, if stupidity was gun powder these people could blow up the world.

What can I say? I work for retards. First they underestimated the trip one way by an hour and a half (5 1/2 hours instead of 4 like they told me), then they can't give directions out of a paper bag. Thank god I had the costomer's phone number. And then what was supposed to be just drop the trailer and come home turned into unload the trailer and THEN drop it and come home. The costumer isn't much brighter than the people I work for, apparently. So needless to say I am exhausted and irritable. Didn't help with my road rage any. Some of the stuff that came out of my mouth would probably have made anyone cringe. Oh well, such was my day.

ok, someone answer me this. Why is it that a person can't use an adult image as their primary picture, but the Top Photos, which typically get far greater display on a page than someone's primary image that scrolls by occasionally, are allowed to be adult images. These pictures are often graphic in nature too, which probably explains their popularity of course. So perhaps there ought to be a push by everyone to have the LC staff exclude adult images from the Top Photos, or at least make a different Adult Top Photos category that isn't readily displayed on a home page. God knows I don't want to scroll through my home page with my kids sitting here and see some girl totally spread eagle with a dildo going up you know where. Pass this along if you all agree, and lets get staff to address this.

So I'm sitting here tonight and a dear friend of mine messages me and tells me how this guy messaged her calling her a bitch and a c@#! and all this other vulgar shit just because he decided to take offense to the fact that she already had a boyfriend. What the fuck is the matter with some people on the internet? Somehow some people have got it into their heads that they can get on the internet and be complete assholes just because they don't have to face the person at the other end. I can not count the times I've heard female friends tell me about how the first thing out of a guys mouth on the net is "Hey, you got a cam?" or "I'm so masterbating to your pics right now" or some other such nonsense. If you are reading this and you happen to be one of those guys, all I have to say to you is GROW THE FUCK UP! I don't understand how people can lose touch with reality the second they get on the net. But I suppose I'm probably refering to the same people I've already ranted about before, those who feel the need to create fake identities for themselves in order to interact on the net. And as I've already ranted, the net should foster an environment that is easier to be yourself, not harder. So why is it that so many guys seem to think its ok to get on here and make vulgar disgusting comments to women (or women to men, as I had the shock to experience once not too long ago)? Are they that depraved in actual society? I should hope not, for all our sakes, or else we all walk among the next Ted Bundy's or serial rapist. Yes, I do refer to these online jackasses in the same reference, because to my mind they are serial cyber-rapists, raping the decent environnment that should be all of our right to enjoy. If you don't agree, that is surely your right. If you feel like I do, that is your right too and you are free to share this blog however. I just hope that sensibility eventually takes hold and people realize that, despite the impersonal interface we use (computers), there are real live people with feelings at the other end who deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. 'Nuff said

Is it just me or does a disproportionate amount of roadkill these days happen to be skunks? I must have passed 7 or 8 of them today. Pungent, stinking messes that make you nose burn as you drive by. So I started wondering why skunks make up such a high percentage of roadkill and what I came up with is this: They are suicidal. It has finally come to the point where even the skunks can no longer stand their own stench, and in fits of misery and dispair they are hurtling themselves into traffic in unprecedented numbers. Sound far=fetched? Perhaps, but answer me this: When is the last time anyone saw Pepe LePew? I think all of his unrequited love affairs, all failures do to his overpowering B.O., have finally driven him to place that white hankerchief across his eyes, light a cigarette, and step in front of the tractor trailer travelling 65mph. One can only hope that, at the rate they are going, the skunk species will exterminate themselves soon and save us from having to roll down our windows gasping for air.

Sometimes I wonder how I'm supposed to make the right decision when I can't even see the question clearly. Maybe I've been out of the game too long to be able to call the right plays, so to speak. As for the things I do see clearly, they aren't always as clear for others, which makes making the right decisions just as difficult. If I make the right choices, but those choices aren't complimented or backed up by others, then where does that leave me? Simply not making any choice occurred to me, but was quickly discarded as a possibility since it solves nothing and quite often creates more problems than it didn't solve. Indecision, fear, doubt....welcome to the human race. I've often thought that the Guide To Life was in the placenta, and us silly humans keep throwing it away at every birth lol. All I do know at this moment in time is that every thing is grey, neither here nor there, but for the choices and decisions I need to make, and soon...

I used to curse the unfairness of life until I realized I was glad life isn't fair. I'd hate to think all of the bad things that happen to us happened because we deserved it

Nothing hurts so much as watching your friends fight. Normal fights you get to take sides, but when friends fight, everything becomes grey and you can no longer see what is right or wrong clearly. My heart is almost breaking tonight watching them fight, knowing if I take sides or even say anything, I risk losing a dear friend....

Having been on the internet for several years in various capacities (yahoo, IRC, Lost Cherry, etc) it still amazes me how people can be so fake sometimes. I find it hard to believe that these people are so uniteresting or shy or whatever that they feel the need to build false identities and lives around themselves on the internet simply as a means of garnering attention, sympathy, or whatever. If anything, being here should make it easier for people to be themselves, as they are removed somewhat from those social pressures that cause many of us to be not as open out in the world. For myself, I would never pretend to be something I'm not in the real world, so I'll be damned if I would do the same here in an environment that should foster more of a sense of openness. Granted, there are always people out there that will try to take advantage of people that are too open, but usually those people are so easy to see coming we can all avoid them (unless you live under the proverbial rock or actually were born yesterday). I sincerely hope that those people out there that feel the need to not be themselves, and we've all seen a lot of this lately on here it seems, figure out that it is so unnecessary and ultimately self-defeating in the end.
