Make it Quick

Alright I don't have forever so here is a rant and this has no damn rules to it cause I'm just gonna go off on random things so lets begin.

This whole whats your new zodiac sign is interesting and so interesting that I really don't give a shit. Seriously if your life sucks so bad that you gotta be all worried if your zodiac sign changed then that is fucking sad. Who the hell cares if your a Leo, Virgo, Capricorn or if your just an asshole. How the stars are aligned is not going to determine who your going to be with or what is going to happen during this day. Here is your horoscope and this is one for everyone... You will get a life and stop looking at this bullshit cause it doesn't mean SHIT!!!!

Ok now lets talk about whats going on in Egypt. Once again communism failed. Nuff said.

I recently ordered Insanity... It's the workout program where you bring yourself to the edge of death in order to lose weight. Now I am tired of seeing all these things that say... Oh eat all you want but sprinkle some kind of toxic crap on your food and you'll lose weight. The most retarded one was that belt you wear and your supposed to put it on and with no strain go from Bubba Joe to Jacked Joe in a week. This is all fucking retarded and the people who believe this crap deserve to lose their money. Wow something that had you sitting on your ass all day didn't help you get into shape... HOLY FUCK CALL THE FBI. Give me a fucking break and stop trying to get out of shit by taking the easy way out.

If you can read this it means you can read.

What the fuck happened to Lady Gaga. She used to be cool and original. Now she is ripping off Madonna and I fucking hate Madonna. Which brings me to this also... Why is it that people think because someone has been around for a while like Madonna that they are actually good. Madonna was never anything special and she sold albums based on her sex appeal not based on her music. So stop acting like she is amazing and if Gaga wants to try and copy somebody then at least make sure it is someone who is actually good.

Now you may be wondering why I haven't ranted in a while. Well the truth is that the truth will set you free. So if you look deep within yourself you will find all the answers and do what you feel is best. You are not yet ready for the answer young skywalker... Wait... I hate StarWars. Except Yoda, he is cool.

Your father forgot to pull out and thats why your here

Another thing I am so tired of hearing is this whole vegan fad thats been going on. I swear diets are just any other fad. You got the crap like Atkins who says to just eat meat and then South Beach and I don't even know what that is but I don't have the interest to look it up either and now people are going with this whole vegan thing. What makes this Vegan one worse is even if it did make you healthy there is one huge drawback that is overrides anything that may be good about it. It turns you into a total fucking douchebag. Every time I meet these people they always look extremely unhealthy and really have no energy but even though I weight twice as much as they do and can run circles over them they still have this smug attitude that they are helping the environment and helping animal rights and putting natural things into there bodies. Please just shut the fuck up about it. People have been eating meat for thousands of years and we have gotten along just fine and eating meat is part of the food chain so don't come to me on your high horse and act like eating meat is wrong. Several animal in the wild eat meat and I guarantee you right now that if your trapped in a cage with a hungry tiger he is not gonna be thinking... Oh if I eat this guy I'm hurting the environment and eating meat is wrong. No that tiger will eat you and then bury the leftover for later.

I also don't care about what kind of health stats these people have about how vegan is healthier and here is why. Anything medical can be put both ways. You can say it will increase this but decrease that. What they like to do is take a negative and then push it like it's so much farther then it would be. One thing I heard was the eating meat can cause you to be diabetic. No thats not what causes it... Being out of shape and consuming too much sugar can cause it. If you eat too much meat then sure maybe you could but they come across that if I wanna have a piece of steak that I'm going to have a heart attack and be dead. There are doctors who will legit say that being vegan is healthier but there are also kinds that will say eating meats is healthier. However if your gonna be a Vegan just try not to be a douche about it.

Also I just want to say that Vegetarians are like this sometimes but not nearly to the extreme of a Vegan. I mean they don't drink milk... How can anyone not want to drink milk.

Funny how I didn't even think I had anything to rant about and I end up going off about shit. Anyways I might do this more often. Until then be safe and have a Happy *Insert Closest Holiday Here*. Thank You.

OMG... shut the fuck up

Alright unless your living under a rock or are just retarded then you know that Obama became president elect. Now I am not going to spend my time ranting about reasons I don't like him cause I really don't have the time for that. However what I am going to talk about is how people are acting about it and how this entire election was a joke.

There seems to be alot of people, who are both white and black that are talking about how this is a huge step for America. I am not going to go and debate that because this country elected a black president and that does go to show how far we have come. However people are going around and saying "Finally America is rid of all that racism and discrimination that we had." So according to these people anyone who voted for McCain is a racist and a bigget? Had McCain won would people be talking about how Obama lost because he is black? I have heard so many people talk about how they never voted, yet they voted this year because of Obama. These are the same people who didn't vote in 2000 and 2004 and constantly bitch about Bush as president.

Also people's reasons for not voting for McCain is flawed as well. The Obama camp did nothing but attack McCain and say he is like Bush. McCain is not a conservative republican, he is a moderate and I would even go as far as liberal Republican at times. Alot of his views and opinions are very different then Bush. So this whole argument is flawed and the McCain camp should have done a better job of showing that he is not like Bush.

Another thing I want to get at is all these people who act like Clinton was the greatest president ever. Oh yeah the guy put us in a surplus and allowed for people to buy houses with no money down and then the federal government would have to bailout the banks. He also took the Military and completely skimmed it to the point where it cost the US billions of dollars to build it back up. What Clinton did was he made sure things were good while he was president, however you don't judge a president by what he does during those 4-8 years as president. You judge him by what is going on after he has left office and 8 years after Clinton left office we are still feeling the affects of what he did. A good president will make sure the country remains strong after they have left the white house. Clinton didn't do that and because of that we are feeling the affects of it.

The economy is now getting stronger and the dollar is up. Even though this was starting to happen before Barack was elected people will go around and act like Obama is the reason for all this. I heard one person say that Obama is going to get us out of Iraq, he is going to help the national debt, and he is going to do all these things that I don't think Jesus could do if he came back.

I hope Obama does a good job but I just don't see it happening. There really needs to be some kind of an IQ test for people voting. Ask a simple question like, who is the VP and if you get it right you can vote. Hell ask what party Obama and McCain are for. Something simple so idiots aren't going around voting because they think it is cool and they want to be like... "I elected a black president so I'm not a racist." I personally think that people who voted for Obama because he is black are the racist ones because all your doing is looking at color. It also shouldn't take a black guy running for president to get black people to vote. Thats like me only voting when an Italian guy is running. Am I supposed to vote for some guy named Johnny the Bull because he is Italian. Oh yah sure he killed 27 babies but he killed those babies in self defense and come up with bullshit like that. That may sound extreme but is it really that different then Obama being connected with Islamic organization that have proven connections with terrorist organizations. Also that isn't "republican propaganda" that so many democrats and liberals want to point out but that is proven fact.

Doing this rant has gotten me pissed off but I figure that I might as well get this out because sometimes I just feel like I'm the only person who says this shit and doesn't hold back.

Misleading Facts and the Power of a Name

Misleading Facts and the Power of a Name

Alright again I am not really going to be doing much of a rant but more of just writing. Some people seem to like this style of writing while some people think it really doesn’t feel the same. I can write in very different ways and when I feel like doing another one of my rants where I just go all out then I will do it.

People will do whatever they can in order to try to get their points across. They are willing to do whatever they can and a lot of them will tell you that what they say is fact. When they say what they say is true they are telling the truth, however they will also bring up facts that are irrelevant or negate certain other facts. In this situation they are not technically lying, but they are still misleading in their convictions.

There are several examples of this situation. There are a ton of rapists in the world and if you asked 10 of them if they masturbated before they raped someone they would all say yes. So to someone who is trying to stop someone from masturbating and trying to give the impression it is bad they could say that 10 out of 10 rapists said they masturbated first before they raped someone. So does that means that if you masturbate you are going to become a rapist? It doesn’t mean that at all but people will want you to believe it. If this were true then just about every person on earth would be a rapist.

Maybe that example seemed a little bit too farfetched for you, so I’ll give an example of something that people here about more often: “If you smoke marijuana, you’ll start doing other drugs.” Now let’s look at the facts here, people who are using cocaine, heroin, LSC, or most other drugs have stated that they started off by doing marijuana. Now to someone who is trying to convince you that pot is a gateway drug, that’s where they will stop in delivering their facts. They fail to mention that out of all the people who do pot most of them DO NOT end up trying other drugs. Also lets not forget that pot is the easiest drugs to get, so somebody who is thinking about experimenting with drugs and wants to try all kinds of stuff is going to end up trying pot first because it is the most accessible. Now they already got it in their minds that they want to try out new drugs, it’s not like they are trying pot for the first time and after they smoke it they are like “damn that weed was good, but now I want to try some crack.”

Allow for me to give another example of this situation. The other night I was watching TV and I stumbled across an infomercial saying how you can make money buying foreclosed homes. They mention things like how you can get them cheap and below market value, but they fail to realize important things. When you buy a foreclosed home you are buying blind because the bank isn’t going to let you look in the inside of that house and do you really expect the people who are getting kicked out of their house to let you take a look? Also don’t forget that when houses are foreclosed it’s not like someone comes to the house one day and tells the people to get out and it’s all settled in a day with someone making sure the people don’t damage the house. Foreclosure proceedings will last at least 3 months. In 3 months you can do a lot to damage a house and someone could just go and take a chainsaw to it. Another thing about foreclosures is the price is only about 5%-10%, on average, less then what the market value is. Someone who is trying to sell the fact that buying foreclosed houses will tell you that you can get a house at 40%-50% less then the market value. Now this isn’t a lie because you will only pay about 5%-10%, on average, less then what the market value is. The key phrase there is “on average” which means that there are houses that could end up going that cheap, however it is highly rare. One more thing is that even if you did get the house for less then what the market value is, the house could be damaged so bad that you may end up spending so much money to fix or even rebuild the house that you end up spending more money then what the market value for that house was. This section actually turned into a little part by itself, but I’ll go on.

I was going to make this a one topic writing, but now I feel like writing about something me and one of my friends briefly discussed. Someone I know today bought a video game and didn’t even play it. The only reason he even bought this game in the first place was because it was Final Fantasy. Even though he may not even like this series he still bought it because of the Final Fantasy name and the history that it has. A name is a huge part of marketing and how we look at things and it’s not just in games. If you blindly went to someone and told them, ok you can have a Mercedes or a Ford, which one do you want? Now without even knowing what exactly their choices are most people are going to pick Mercedes because of the name and what it represents.

A few months ago some movie about a singer came out and it was supposedly a parody on the Johnny Cash movie. This movie had some actor I didn’t care about so I had no desire to want to see the movie. If this movie had put Will Ferrell in there then I would have wanted to see it and that’s another example of a name. Will Ferrell has a representation as being a funny guy so even if a movie looks like it won’t be funny at all, if he is in it then it’s going to spark people’s interest a little more.

This goes with advertising as well. If you own a bar and are like “we sell Boston Brewed Harpoon Ale” most people are not going to know what the hell you are talking about. If you are like “we sell Boston Brewed Samuel Adams” then people will know what you are talking about and would be more inclined to come to your bar. You also don’t see electronics stores advertise that they sell Vizio, Magnavox, and Sylvania. So they are going to advertise that they sell Sony, Panasonic, and Samsung. This is because the name sells and gets people interested in what they have.

Alright I am going to end it with that. I may have gone a little too far with the examples but I think they got my point across. Anyways have a nice weekend and don’t start smoking crack. I mean unless you want to smoke crack, but don’t say I told you to do it.
