Well.. I saw it yesterday afternoon. It was a boring Sunday and I had nothing to do – so I finally watched this movie that my wife rented a few weeks ago. I didn’t WANT to watch it because I had a feeling it would suck – but it was the only non-chick flick we had. It has three or four (I forget) washed-up actors – I know two of their names: Wesley Snipes and Richard Gere. The other two (yeah, there were definitely two) never became famous enough for most of us to remember (though they’re not bad actors).

Let me get right to the damn point. Why can’t police officers obey the speed limits on the road? Not only do they speed, they do so blatantly – because *I* speed – and they pass me. I always drive five miles per hour over the speed limit. Reason being, all speed limits are set too low for me. Especially for my car – which handles and brakes amazingly being a BMW. Some cars are easier to drive fast with than others.
MoreSo I went with my wife to watch her Vampire movie last night – Eclipse – and it was mostly boring. There was one decent scene for guys where the vampires and werewolves teamed-up to fight these new-born vampires – but that was at the very end, lasted about one minute and didn’t make up for the rest of the movie. The rest was 150% chick flick.
Towards the end when what’s his name called what’s her name ‘whatever her name is’ with HIS last name at the end (since they were getting married), she said something like, “At least hyphenate my last name! It’s the new millennium!” (like everyone is doing it) or something stupid like that. That part of the scene was obviously an afterthought probably added for some lunatic feminist sponsor because you could tell it was just kinda stuck in there – it wasn’t smooth at all…
MoreHow is it that we’re living in the year 2010 and we still have to sit at a red (traffic) light for a full minute when there’s nobody coming down the road on the side where it’s green? For God’s sake! We can fly to the moon! We can split an atom! We can PROBABLY even travel through TIME for all we know (as worthless pee-ons) – but we can’t figure out how to put sensors in, under or on the roads so that traffic lights can function accordingly with the existing traffic condition. Is it just me?! It CAN’T be! Say it ain’t so!
MoreWhat the holy fuckin’ satanic hell are these brain dead executives and designers thinking when it comes to lock stalks?! Don’t know what a lock stalk is? It’s that stupid piece of plastic that sticks out near the top/back of the doors on what used to be a small but comfortable arm rest – especially convenient when driving with the windows fully opened.
Chances are you have no idea what I’m talking about since most car companies stopped using these stupid things in the 80s. But Cadillac, in their ultimate wisdom, still feels the need to stick these annoying pieces of plastic on the doors. Why?! What purpose do they serve other than to stick in my arm?
MoreSo now that I’m sitting on the balcony of my room on a cruise ship, almost drunk, with no Internet connection at the moment, I can blog about this rant that’s been on my mind for about a week now.
Down in south Florida when we’re having water restrictions where you can only water your lawn or wash you car on certain days of the week… Why is it okay for the town to be running the sprinkler systems in the rain? It’s 2010. Isn’t there a way to set up the system where when it’s raining out, a controller can turn off these sprinklers during storms? What a waste of water! The town should be fined for running the sprinklers during rain storms – and again for being so “Floridian” lazy that they never upgraded the system to allow for settings that would prevent this waste of precious water. Isn’t it better to be proactive than reactive? If cars can have rain sensing wipers – why not sprinklers?
