The Wireless Whatchamacallit: Wonderful or Wicked??

If you've read my previous posts, you should know I'm not against technology (except Apple technology maybe =oD ), in fact, I'm the complete opposite of being against it, whatever that may be! But sometimes I feel that technology can be scary, destructive, and, like what happened today, UNNECESSARY!!!

Three things that should never come together: a packed bus, a cell phone, and a loud guy who just had a fight with his girlfriend! And this is exactly what happened today. I'm usually very accepting of people who use their phones on public transportation...I mean hell, that's why we HAVE mobile phones in the first place. But I guess every now and then, someone misses the Cell Phone Etiquette 101 and ruins it for all of us, and unfortunately, today was on of those days.

So, this guy is having a loud conversation on a packed bus, and few rows down, I can still hear him loud and clear.....DESPITE MY MP3 PLAYER!!!! Dude, I don't want to hear what happened with your girlfriend (she was mad at him, and had just lost her job), I definitely don't want to know about your plans for tonight (drinking cheap Australian Pinot Grigio he got for $6.99, before going to Old City for dinner because he doesn't want to spend on wine at the restaurant), I obviously don't want to be able to hear it despite my MP3 player and disrupt my music, and I ABSOLUTELY DON'T want to hear it 3 times!!! Yes, folks, 3 fucking times on three phone calls in that 20-minute period!!! He needs some fucking therapy, is all I can say!!

In conclusion, I just want to say that if you need to talk on your wireless devices, please be considerate about others, especially if you're loud. Don't talk about your personal problems because you never know who is carrying a gun! Didn't your momma tell you not to air your dirty laundry in public?? And finally, don't use a packed bus as your therapeutic environment, because you're just ticking others off....no wonder your girlfriend is mad atcha!!!

Evil trick or just bad television?

So I was bored the other day, came early from class after my Statisitcs mid-term, was too tired to study for my comps, so turned on my teensy weensy televisione. It was around 7:30 pm, so almost around the time when prime-time television programs air, so I'll not take into account the fact that I don't pay for cable (I just plug in the cable wire to my television and watch the channels I get, which includes over-the-air and some cable channels like TBS and CNN). So anyway, there was Family Guy on TBS, so I switched to MyPHL with NBC news. I watched that until 8:00pm, when most programs start. So what did I tune into? NOTHING!!! N-O-T-H-I-N-G!!!! Not a freakin' thing!!

What the FUCK happened to all the good shows??? ABC had Scrubs and series premier or Better Off Ted, NBC had some reality crap, I don't even want to know what CBS and FOX had to avoid further disappointment. But seriously, what's with all the reality shows and crappy television? Celebrity Apprentice? Seriously?? That one has all Z-list celebrities, and Trump's toupe is probably more famous than those "celebrities". Dancing with the Stars, Project Runway, America's Next Top Model and all other talent/competition/reality/crappy shows need to take a break too. Whatever happened to the good old sitcoms? Let's also get Octo-mom her own show, what with her 14 kids!!!

It seems that all the good shows are on premium channels, mainly Showtime. Look at Dexter, United States of Tara, and Weeds....unbeatable!! I guess this is what it has come to - if you need good television, you'll have to pay for it! Sighhhhh

Is this an evil trick to make people stop watching T.V. and make them more mobile to get rid of the Obese "Couch Potato" American image, or is it just deteriorating American television? I guess we'll never know!!

Awesomest dawgs!!

Obviously, these dogs cannot stand up to my boy back home, Junior, but they're pretty awesome. It started about a couple of months ago, before my break. They're called Chico and Doom, both mutts, father and son duo who are extremely friendly. So, the owners had just settled in, and after hiding them from the landlord for a bit, they finally started letting them out in the courtyard (lucky me!!). I ran into them a couple of times, but at the time, I didn't even remember their names. After the break, when I came back, I started running into them more frequently, and to my surprise, they started liking me!! Then about a month ago, I was with Chico for a few minutes and he grabbed onto me and wouldn't let me leave. He started jumping all over the place and then finally, the owner had to pull him away from me! Ever since that day, whenever he is in the courtyard, he comes at my door and sniffs hard at my hard, hoping I'd open the door and pet him!! How smart is that? I love positive reinforcement! He is the second awesomest, cutest, friendliest dog I've met, and he always makes my day!!

Outta the hibernation!!

Last post was more than 5 months ago, and I've been in hibernation since....sorta! But now that it's almost Springtime, I needed to snap out of my Winter depression into my Spring/Summer mania! It's not Spring officially, but hey, just 8 more days to go until the official start of the season!! Bright colors, nice weather, longer days, and blossoms!! I can almost smell it in the air.....along with pollen. Alrightttt....I won't be a Debbie Downer....at least not today!
So whatcha gals waiting for? Get that Spring cardigan, lightweight scarf, summer skirt, sandals/ballet flats, and make a statement!! Ohhh...and don't forget about 2009's "Fringe look" in flats, tops, or skirts...
