Insane Random Ramblings

I remember when Mr McNasty hands first showed up. Then he went away for a few days and then he showed up again. I thought he was weird then and I always stay vigilent when he’s around.

Well I was talking to someone that I catch the bus with and she noticed that he was strange as well. She said he wears a Taco Bell uniform but sometimes catches the bus downtown. There is no Taco Bell anywhere near downtown. Then she said that he was just acting weird in general on the bus like she expected him to start mumbling about ls2208 codes or something. She then told me to watch myself when he’s around since he gets on at my stop.

I assured her that I would. I always stay alert when I see him coming. If he’s already at the stop or I see him at the stop before mine, I don’t wear my headphones and make sure to pay attention. He’s weird and I’m not gonna let him catch me slipping.

The other day I said that my company is giving all employees a free ticket to a baseball game. Well some people had to start complaining already. The want to go with their spouse/significant other/children etc. While I understand that, it’s supposed to be a employee bonding experience type of deal. They can always buy a ticket for the people they want to go with and try to switch seats if that’s the case. Of course, they want the other people to be able to go free as well.

I’m pretty happy myself and it just proves that you can’t please some people.

Remember last week when I talked about this guy? Well he’s back at my bus stop again. He’s been there for the past few days. He’s kinda creeping me out right now. He just stands there staring. He’s always sweaty and clammy-looking like he just got off of a treadmill or something. Then he kinda looks at me then looks away then sneaks a peak back over my way.

I usually put my headphones on once I get to the bus stop but I feel like I need to be extra observant around this dude. He seems pretty weird and he gives me a bad vibe.

Yuck. I was waiting for the bus this morning and this guy walks to our stop from up the street. I don’t know why he walked because he was actually at the stop before ours. Anyway he stands there and starts scratching himself. You know, in his “special” place. I swear he must have something down there because he would scratch, stop then start over again. Both me and the other person at the bus stop noticed and the other guy shot me a “is he for real?” look.

You better believe that as soon as the bus got to our stop I got on first. I didn’t want to potentially touch anything that he put his hands on. Ewwwww what a yucky way to start the day.

I don’t even remember the post that I was going to write today. A commercial came on the radio and interrupted my entire thought process. It’s a Rent A Center commercial featuring Magic Johnson. He’s going on and on about how great it is to rent from them. He makes it seem like they’re the best thing since sliced bread.

I have no problem with people renting furniture. The feature does come in handy especially in a pinch. However, these commercials are targeted towards low income people and minorities. The type of people who rent long term and where these companies make their money. Most of the people who rent don’t have the resources to pay for furniture outright. And let’s not even pretend that they’re getting a good deal. Those payments are expensive! By the time you’ve rented for 3 or 4 months, you’ve basically paid for the item. And the majority of people keep the items way longer than that.

Sorry for the rant but I just can’t believe Magic would lend his voice to such nonsense. Then again I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. He’s just a shill out to make a quick buck like the rest of the celebrities.

I had another post all written out but then I saw the ads for his new movie. Of course “Madea” is the title character. I don’t have anything against TP but I remember a few years ago where he said that he was retiring the Madea character. He still hasn’t retired her.

I guess I’m really tired of the whole phase. It’s not even the whole drag thing either. I know he wants to send a good message but his movies are super preachy. They start to get on your nerves. But his tv shows are the worse. Most of the actors can’t act and it seems like they’re just trying to upstage each other when they’re not trying to profile for the camera.

I know he wants to make the shows seem real but the characters are stilted and it’s really insulting. I hate to say it but both of his shows come across more as a shuck n’ jive routine than real acting. I guess he wanted to portray middle class blacks but in my opinion he really missed the mark. Not every middle class black family are like the Huxtables and perfect (they’re actually upper middle but whatever), but they certainly don’t act like the people on his shows either.

I guess Tyler is on a paper chase and he’s gonna dress in drag until people get tired of it. It’s a shame really because to me he seems like a person who doesn’t stand behind his word.

One of my new coworkers had someone hit her truck. The guy pulled out of a lot and side-swiped her car. She was in the middle lane so I don’t understand how he went across a lane and into a second lane. She said he was driving a small car so he shouldn’t have hit her.

Nobody was hurt in the accident but she had to retain a truck accident lawyer because the guys insurance doesn’t want to pay. I guess he has a really crappy insurance company that’s notorious for not paying claims. Luckily she wasn’t at fault so she shouldn’t have a problem. She’s not even suing the guy for anything except car repairs. I don’t know why the company is dragging their feet.

Hopefully she gets everything resolved soon.

Man do they suck. You know the people that I’m talking about: the ones that come to the forum with the links to their sites in their signature then they comment on each and every subject on the forum. Is that bad? Yes it is.

Some of the comments make no sense. “I agree” to every single post. Or how about “Hey check out these commodity brokers here”,  on a forum about paying off debt. It makes no sense. Or my personal favorite, commenting on posts from over a year ago with no new information. Hey I realize everyone is new to forums so they may look at old messages to comment on and that’s cool. It’s the people who are just looking to get their links out there that are pitas.

Be honest, when you see those types of comments does that make you want to visit that persons’ site?

Or try to help them. Someone posted in a public forum that I frequent asking questions about the service. I pm’d them to give them some info that would help them out. They wrote back asking me “how I knew what I knew” and “where can I find the info”. No big deal I gave them links to several threads with answers to their questions.

The pm’d me again and changed the title of the mail to end in “blah blah”. Then they started going off asking me if I had actually read their blog, they have quality articles that are over 2 pages which is why they use a read more tag (a no-no at the site we were on) and that they don’t just post crappy 3 sentence entries.

Ummm wow. I just let it go. I don’t think my entries are crappy just because I keep my thoughts short and sweet. I could drone on and on but who wants to read that. One thing’s for certain, I will not try to help them anymore.

I try to do a good thing and look what happens.

Are you kidding me?!?!?! I finally get a day off to sleep in and my stupid neighbors are up at 7am doing construction work. I don’t know what the heck they were doing down there but it sounded like the had some kind of Ingersoll Rand air tools or something. They were banging and making all kinds of noise. Now I wouldn’t have cared if it was late in the day but 7am? That’s ridiculous.

I mean really, have some consideration for others.
