What I Taught Myself....March 18, 2011

I believe I've mentioned before that I have a lot of pet peeves.  You wouldn't know it looking at me, but I do get pissed off about 'little things' such as having a microwave clock with :32 seconds left on it (just clear the clock!) or when a dryer door is left open with the light on with nothing inside.

One of my biggest pet peeves is those bluetooth cell phone hearing aid things.  So a person doesn't have to hold their cell phone, instead they can walk around with this stupid thing hanging off their ear.  Basically its just an ugly earring.

Now just by watching people with these headsets I have noticed that there are two groups of people who use them: the cocky "first class" folks and those on welfare.  Just FYI, this is within the United States.  I don't wanna upset any of my foreign readers.

But seriously, there is a group of cockies (correct term?) who always wear this device.  WHY?  I understand that the headset is directed more towards car use.  Who needs to wear a headset in Target?  And when they wear it and have a phone call, they look like rain man since they're talking to themselves (Rain man counted cards and he was a ritard).  So when I think that the person is talking to me suddenly I'M the idiot because I'M not the one with the earring.

It also irritates me when people use cell phones when they're with a group of friends or family.  If the person on the other line, then go and hang out with them.  Don't text around me either.  I'll freakin flip since I now know that I'm not that interesting.  Sure, not everyone cares to know that McDonald's spent $12 million on developing an oven for the McPizza which flopped in 1997, but I find it interesting.

But if your arm gets tired from talking on the cell phone for so long, then just have a face-to-face conversation with the person.

Thats it for me!

What I Taught Myself....March 9, 2011

I like to share stupid stories from when I was younger. Stories like how I used to mark that I was Hispanic because I thought Caucasian was a Caribbean native show people how unique I really am.

But the story that I'd like to share with you is THE TRUTH.  Some of you who are reading this might find this story as a made up fable, but I guarantee that it is 150% true.

During my freshman year in high school, we had to take a little questionnaire on what we were looking for in a relationship partner.  It was some sort of fundraiser for our high school student council and I was doing whatever it took to get out of doing my algebra homework (its overrated anyway) and ended up taking more time doing the questionnaire than I did filling out my SATs.

Fast-forward a month later when the student council was selling the results.  Word started to spread that there was one name that seemed to be number one on every girls' list of best matches.  Who was this macho man that everyone was talking about?  The one and only, Bobby P.

Girls from every grade 9-12 had that beautiful name listed on their list.  Unfortunately lists were seen torn up and left on the floor of the high school hallway along.  A lot of the girls were pissed that their "high school sweetheart" didn't even make the top 10 list.

But being curious, ol' Bob, I just had to see who made my top 10 list.  Maybe it was Allison Lickteig, the girl that every boy in middle and high school dreamt about.  Or it could be Cathy Cottrell, the always-smiling Junior.

So after giving up my hard-earned dollar, I ripped open the results.  And who was my number one? Sarah Carstens, the devil worshipping, chimney smoking, grunge band listening......thing.

Half of the girls in high school had a kind, polite boy on their lists.  But to this day I believe that the survey was a hoax.  I didn't get asked out by any of the other girls on my list.  Of course I never saw half of them since they were in in-school suspension or detention, and I never had either one in my high school career.

Yet I don't believe the tests actually helped in my dating life nor with my friendships.  Or maybe my results got mixed up with someone else's.  I mean, the results said that Matt Gordon would make a great best friend for me.  OH COME ON!!!!!!

Thats it for me!
