The "Rant" Thread

^ I would pray for that. Not working right now sucks big time. And my house is on the line as a result.

 

With all due apologies, I can't sympathize with people who whine about their jobs or having to go to work. Right now, I'd give almost anything to have a job.

My favorite football team the Philadelphia Eagles just lost 20-16 to the Dallas Cowboys (a rival team that I hate with a passion) on Sunday Night Football and are now 2nd place in the NFC East.

 

You might say "It's just one game, get over it", but what pisses me off more than anything about this loss is that the Eagles might have won if it wasn't for that 4th down turnover that Andy Reid challenged and lost (which cost the Eagles their final timeout and led to the Cowboys touchdown that put them up 20-13).

 

It looked to me like McNabb clearly made it over the first down line before his elbow hit the ground (judging from the Eagle logo view that the announcers pointed out) but the referees didn't bother to use the chain measurement on the logo (or if they did, it wasn't shown) and placed it back behind the line, giving the Cowboys the ball.

 

I apologize if my rant offends anyone on this board who is a Dallas Cowboys fan, but this just annoyed me tonight.

I fully understand what you say and I apologize for what I wrote. This is already the second time on TPR that this happens to me. I should indeed be more grateful that I have a job. Sorry for that.

^ I've done a bit of thinking and apologize for ripping on you like that. When I do work, I have an occasional bad day myself, as most people do, and need to vent. But even when I'm not happy with my job, generally I go in glad that I have somewhere to go each day and have something to do---especially when I'm handed that envelope every week (or two, depending) that contains my check.

First of all, I don't want to sound like a huge d*ck when I say that I have a very large group of friends, most of which are all in different "Groups" or "Cliques" at school.

 

Recently, I realized that I am having scheduling trouble and have been "Double Booking" when it comes to making plans with people. I don't mean to "Double Book" my plans, but for instance, over the course of last week, I had 5 different people ask me to hang out with them on Saturday (all of whom I am good friends with (each unfortunately is from a different clique and don't get along).

 

By the time Saturday came around, I had been asked to go to the movies, sleep over, go horse-back riding, and had been invited to 2 dinner parties and I had absolutely no intention of making rounds during the day.

 

Anyways, This has just been happening so much lately, its frustrating and I am starting to become a hermit (well just less involved)... I don't want to have to loose any friends, but I think I may have to start distancing myself from some of them and find my close knit group while still keeping my friendship with the others... If anyone has any advice, I would be glad to hear it!

^ Why don't you just tell them you have plans? Like if you already planned to go to the movies with Group A, if Group B asks you to do something, just tell them you already are doing something and try to schedule for another day? Is that really that difficult?

It's just that I have to confirm these plans with parents, and since I have several people come up to me on the same day all asking to do different things its really hard to plan. There are 3 other kids in my house all enrolled in different activities and my parents have to work around that. So if I had 3 people ask me to: a). Have Breakfast; b). Have Lunch; or c). Have Dinner, I can only go to the one that my parents are available to drive me too. This stirs up the balance and makes people angry since like I said, everyone is from a different group and they don't ussually get along. So if I could only hang out with one person the others start to think i'm lying to them about not being able to hang out...

 

It's just a really annoying occurrence and I needed a place to clear my mind... and this seemed to be the place to do so... lol

^Do you have a bike? Biking has really helped my social life as my parents both work (hell, just today I biked to a Chipotle to have lunch with my friend), so it could at least help you get to your day plans (assuming your friends dont live / want to hang out too far away) and then you could ask your parents to drive you to your night plans. Just remember to not say....wipe out and front flip off your bike, I have a nasty little reminder on my chin from when I did that haha

I have a bike but unfortunately, winter is just around the corner... and biking 45 minutes in -20 degree weather is just not an option...

 

It is though from spring through fall!

I don't understand some people when it comes to catching up with high school acquaintances on facebook. If I didn't hang around you then, you may want to take a look on my page to see if it's really worth sending a friend request.

 

Anyway my page has my volunteer pictures and my other friends posting about the games they play or how they are doing... But it's mostly small talk, not anything condescending. So you will be out of line if u decide to "holy roll" and talk down to people on my wall. That will only result in a quick "reading" and a quicker "unfriending".

Gosh darn, I am annoyed!!

 

There is a consistent lack of gays who act like actual men at my college... As in, every guy you see who you think "aww he looks nice" turns out to be a woman trapped in a man's body... Its like, yeah be who you want to be, but for DUCKS sake, you have a pair of balls! And facial hair! USE THEM!!

 

Bears FTW!

 

Anyway, "in"-rant over. Resume your normal lives!

So the big update for Xbox 360 that gives it Facebook, Twitter, Last.fm, and Zune Video are only available to adult accounts.

 

Which means that when you make your account, the age has to be over 18.

 

Mine's set to 14.

 

They should just let anybody with a Facebook account use it, not just adults. It's making me freaking mad how Microsoft makes pretty much everything available only to adult accounts: M or RP-rated demos and videos (even if you play M-rated games on the console, like Halo), downloading demos and stuff over a computer, and now this big update.

 

This is just stupid.

People are something else. I had to go to the bathroom so I'm walking towards it as the lady in charge of maintenance comes out of the elevator. She gets to the mens bathroom to open the door and I ask her very politely that I really have to "go" and if I could go in first.

 

This tramp sighs at me like I'm putting her out.

 

I said "look girl, I'm not going up to another floor or waiting, risking me peeing myself. I asked nicely and you'll be alright... Sighing at me like you lost your mind. You don't know who you're playing with."

 

Then I shut the door in her face.

 

She don't know the first thing about giving attitude; I'm basically her client and if she thinks she's going to say any old thing to me, clearly she got off on the wrong floor.
