Your Favorite Everything Sucks and Quit Being So Sensitive

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="MsoNormal">Hola all you people with really crummy taste! You know? Something that always amazes me about people is how upset they get if someone doesn’t like what they like. I don’t know why they get so upset if I’m not a fan of the same music or movie or TV show or sports team or whatever that they are. It’s not personal y’all! <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">Anytime I mention that I don’t like today’s country music someone invariably will say “Well I guess you don’t like me either because I’m a big fan of country music.” Why would they think that? Why do I have to like country music to like them, or be their friend? Do I have to like EVERY SINGLE SINGER AND MUSICIAN who considers themselves “country?” <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsGCo44Ip-ptBXqQhFT5GzvI7Q3HlwfUEbZAouCOpGV9DG3LkM0PCsV_vzokazERGSlGf9FwU6Vnfhyphenhyphen7qsXhZXsfnM7ySl69-gPkLLS0t6enbrLXf_4BAuDySxU4W5sw8BF15_H4QniA05/s1600/Miranda+Lambert+Hot+Sexy+Nude.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsGCo44Ip-ptBXqQhFT5GzvI7Q3HlwfUEbZAouCOpGV9DG3LkM0PCsV_vzokazERGSlGf9FwU6Vnfhyphenhyphen7qsXhZXsfnM7ySl69-gPkLLS0t6enbrLXf_4BAuDySxU4W5sw8BF15_H4QniA05/s1600/Miranda+Lambert+Hot+Sexy+Nude.jpg" width="285" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal"><o:p><br /></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal">I get that there are a lot of a-holes out there who hate everyone and everything. It is kind of exhausting having them show up all the time to make sure that you know that they hate whatever it is you like. If you post “Man, that was a great episode of <insert here="" show="" tv=""> last night,” it seems like there’s always somebody there to tell you that the show you mentioned sucks. I get it. It does get old. <o:p></o:p></insert></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">If you notice though, it’s pretty much the same people making the negative comments all the time. It’s the same people who care so little about the Super Bowl (or The Oscars or whatever big event is on at the time) that they have to go on Facebook and Twitter several times to let everyone know that they don’t care. As if WE care. But, like I said, those grumpy, bitchy, whiny people always hate everything. You expect it. Or you should anyway. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">What I’m talking about are people who ask me if I liked, say, the show “Friends.” I will say “No, I never found it all that funny.” It’s amazing how often people take that as a personal attack. Almost a “HOW DARE YOU?!” <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">Art, like beauty is subjective. We have our likes and dislikes and sometimes we like things that are very popular. Sometimes we like things that result in being mocked by our friends. People constantly criticize me for being a Miley Cyrus fan. I can’t help it. She pisses people off and I find it hilarious mostly because they can seem to explain WHY they’re so pissed at her. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">I’ve actually met people who don’t like “The Godfather” movies. No really! And I’ve met people who didn’t like “Goodfellas.” I worry about these people sometimes, but I respect their opinion no matter how messed up it is. I’ve also met people who think “The Bill Engval Show” was hilarious. Again, that’s a bit whack, but okay. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">The weirdest thing to me is when people apply this crazy attitude to sports. I don’t get why they think I should be a fan of their team and are hurt when I’m not. Seriously, there are people out there who are genuinely personally hurt and offended when I don’t root for their team, when they’re playing MY team. I call these people “Kentucky Basketball Fans.” Fascinating group of people, many of whom I love very much, but they should probably be studied by a sociologist and a psychologist and other –ogists. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8h5K5V-hCPM-h7Lmo8TU-f40WpwF32EDES3TZpXHEqpNNxx0Bi7IS0xrqLYyIK0Bd519aV8hyphenhyphenNFMMD_tl-9Mt4bDb-qrC-16Mywcc5ISOjUg6iC1ZvYdcDs_13uSF9xE5sYGwNFeS5tQf/s1600/Ashely+Judd+Deranged+Kentucky+Baskball+Fan.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8h5K5V-hCPM-h7Lmo8TU-f40WpwF32EDES3TZpXHEqpNNxx0Bi7IS0xrqLYyIK0Bd519aV8hyphenhyphenNFMMD_tl-9Mt4bDb-qrC-16Mywcc5ISOjUg6iC1ZvYdcDs_13uSF9xE5sYGwNFeS5tQf/s1600/Ashely+Judd+Deranged+Kentucky+Baskball+Fan.jpg" width="312" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal"><o:p><br /></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal">Of course this same phenomenon applies to politics, but it’s a little different there. People are beholden to their partisan political beliefs and can’t stand to have their world view challenged. Plus, anyone who disagrees with them hates America or is a racist or both and it goes and on and on and on. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">Anyway, quit taking it so personally when someone doesn’t like what you like. Also, quit being an asshole hating on everything and everybody all the time. Oh and if you don’t like the TV show “Justified” you are probably the dumbest, most pathetic idiot that has ever lived. Just kidding! Kind of. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><a href="mailto:Jayman3768@gmail.com">Jayman3768@gmail.com</a><br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/jayman68" target="_blank">My Facebook</a><br /><a href="http://www.twitter.com/jayman_iws" target="_blank">@Jayman_IWS </a><o:p></o:p></div><br /><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div></div>

We know this because the Dow Jones Industrial Average is not trading at roughly 1916 levels (adjusted for inflation).<br /><br />I'm just pointing it out for those who truly believe that this is 1982 and that a whole new era of American prosperity will soon be unleashed. That said, something may soon be unleashed (again). 1999 and 2007 weren't enough warnings?<br /><br />It is yet another ugly chart, but what's new?

The Fed knows exactly what it is doing?<br />6. We can continue to borrow our way to prosperity forever?<br />7. America can never have too many restaurants?<br />8.

Who would that be? I'll tell you...Renee. Ang claims Renee called her as she was leaving for the get together and told her she wasn't going...no reason. Drita is pissed because it makes her look bad. In fact everyone has their reason for being pissed. I'm sure Renee has her reasons too. All I know is, if I were Renee, I would not want to sit down with those SOUTH Philly chicks under an circumstances because of the issues she has had with each of them. Frankly, I would want to sit down to a meal with Ang or Drita either. It seemed to me that Ang and Drita left Renee on her own and didn't have her back all season long. Drita recently told a media source that she doesn't consider herself Renee's friend, they are co-workers. Drita claims she was Jenn's friend and Renee was her older sister, that's it. I guess I had a different impression the past three seasons?<br /><br />On a side note, I read Drita was having a Grand Opening for her new store. I am a little confused. Wasn't her new store already open to the public? How long does it take to open a small store? Can this be the second store that she mentioned in Vegas? Maybe we will see more about that in the near future.<br /><br />Meanwhile, How To Use a Meat Cleaver is out! Lots of "delicious recipes in there for your special Valentine!

The release, two days ahead of  government data, is a good predictor of the government's non-farm  payroll report. The change in this indicator can be very volatile.<br /><br />A  higher than expected reading should be taken as positive/bullish for  the USD, while a lower than expected reading should be taken as  negative/bearish for the USD.</div>

Hey! We've Made The Big Time!

You know how you always see or hear about all these damn shootings all over the place but they are always somewhere way the heck away?<br /><br />Now I can say that we have had <b>TWO in TWO DAYS!!</b>. Both of which were less than five miles from here, one about two miles, actually. Neither of these were Gang Banger shootings either, one was a pissed off worker that shot his boss and himself and the other was some lady went bang bang at the local Veterans Affairs campus. I'm so proud.<br /><br />Jesus.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/02/05/2nd-office-shooting-in-vancouver_n_4728348.html">Even the Damn Huffington  Post took notice!</a><br /><br />I keep saying I want to get the hell out of here.<br /><br />It's getting way too much like a big city around here for this country boy.<br /><br />It looks like I am flat going to have to get serious and tell the wife that we are moving this Summer after school is out so I don't have to listen to that B.S. argument. I need to see how badly Uncle Sam is going to screw me on taxes first. <br /><br />I also see that I am going to have to do the legwork.<br /><br />The wife is adamant about staying in Vancouver and I am just as adamant that I have had enough of the crime here.<br /><br />I do the legwork, we move to where I find a place we can afford to live. Something that isn't too far out but <i>I AM</i> going to get away from this whole end of town.<br /><br />It's getting to be hazardous to live around here.<br />

Nutritionists and registered dieticians have completely different philosophical approaches to nutrition therapy, and they should be recognized as such. There needs to be separate boards for nutritionists and dieticians, and separate examination requirements as well for licensure to accurately reflect these differences.'</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Read <a href="http://realfoodforager.com/dietetic-association-vying-for-monopoly/">more... </a></span>
