In a Grumpy Mood

Hi Jimmy,

That's right, I am Grumpy. Just spoke to my lawyer about suing to cover my medical bills from my wreck and its not a very good outlook at all. Of course I will recover damages from a 20 year old mexican woman with no job or insurance! All this pain and losing the Truck for naught!

So I decided to whine about things I don't like, and mention one thing I DO like.

Football: What a complete and utter waste of time. Its more than clear that every game from college (and maybe high school at this point) on up is fixed in advance. No, the players may not all know it. But it's just to obvious when the favorite makes some incredibly stupid mistakes at just the wrong time to end up losing. In Vegas once I overheard guys talking about an upcoming game and how and why it would turn out a certain way. The fumbles and mistakes were just as they explained and it was a huge upset. Tell me its not just all about the money so I can laugh...

Baseball: Pretty much the same reasons as football, but at least they don't walk around thinking they are some sort of warrior and tougher than everyone else. Perhaps they heard that pro footballers have been found to die by the time they are 50 on average? Then again, how god-awful slow and boring can something be?

Sidenote: Getting the idea I hate team sports? yep. I was sick of them and they attitude by the time I got out of high school. I see no merit in this sort of disguised entertainment at all.

Basketball: If there ever was a stupid concept thas a waste of time, it's basketball. Originally designed as a set of warm up drills for an individual sport, a sparse set of rules was applied to them, and becuase of the simplicity it became overly popular. The skills required for this are a trifle when compared to folks who work real jobs every day. While the players certainly desrve huge salaries for BEING the attraction, its a 1 ring circus of misfits for the most part. Recently heard that over half of the NBA has been convicted of felony level offenses. Those are certainly the role models that should be shoved down people's throats.

Rap "Music": Gee, when I was a learnin' about music, the elements that define rap "music" would be called a "Percussion Ensemble". Without melody, harmony, theme and counterpoint and all those other things--it's not actually MUSIC! And just why is it rap stars all have to show off gold teeth? Gold is the single cheapest replacement tooth you an get! It's like saying "I am letting my manager screw me so bad that I can only afford the worst!". Then again, the music industry is overcontroled and little good music ever reaches the masses. MySpace and websites are at least leading the way for bands and music of all ilks to make a comeback. Now where's my Alasdair Fraser disc at again.....?

Movies: 90% of them are so predictable they are worthless. Would somebody PLEASE destroy the script-writing software in Hollywood and make writers THINK FOR THEMSELVES AGAIN?!?!?!?!

Cats: Worthless animals all. Don't get me started.

SUV's: Take it off the damn road or sell it.

Illegal Aliens: I understand the desire for a better life, but don't take t from me. I have no options of moving to YOUR country or getting work myself if you illegaly take mine. Then again, I also may have a problem because I highly suspect that if and when I sue for my medical expenses I will find the other driver just HAD to go back to Mexico to avoid me....leaving me holding the bill. Legal aliens...rock on and good luck! You guys rock for doing it the right way.

Smog: Why can't it actually be a Small Hog like the Beverly Hillbillies thought....?

Smoking: OK people, just how could ANYONE think its a good idea at this time? Do you send your kids to play in traffic too? At least I feel jusified to hack up a lung in your face when your nasty habit gets me coughing. Remember, it's my RIGHT to hack up in your face.

Something else entirely: I'll think of something.

OK, enough of tha. Something I like. American has found a way to outflank the future onslaught of too many Chinese. Make 'em all fat too:
