December 2, 2003: God Damn, I Hate Everyone.

God damn, I hate everyone. Everywhere I turn, there's someone new to piss me off.

"Ha ha! I'm wearing the shirt of something you like, just to make fun of it!"
Take off the old heavy metal T-shirt if you don't actually like the band, jerk. Oh, ha ha ha ha, it's ironic and hip, ha ha ha ha! Fuck you. I hate seeing someone with wearing an old Motorhead shit, or worse, wearing a shirt I would kill to have but could never actually find, with someone like Vio-Lence or Nuclear Assault on it, and when I compliment them on their shirt, they casually tell me that they've never even listened to that band before, with a smile on their face. I feel like buying a bunch of T-shirts with bands like The Strokes and Dashboard Confessional on them, and when you fuckers come up to me and compliment me on the shirt and tell me how much of a great band they are, I'm going to say, "Oh, I'm only wearing this, because it's ironic and funny! This bands sucks more cock than your mom! Ha ha ha!" And then, I'm going to punch them in the lungs and take their fucking air.

Shove your People's Revolution up your ass, BMW boy.
By the same token, then, there's you assholes with the foam-and-mesh "trucker" hats, work shirts from the local Goodwill store, and the can of Pabst Blue Ribbon in your hand, when you're clearly rather be drinking something like a Zima or some "hard lemonade" shit. Hell, I don't even drink, and even I think those are for pussies. But I digress. It seems that like 99% of the people I see doing shit like this are goddamn hippies who think they're doing something to "get in touch with the working man." Look, slappy. You're the farthest thing from the working man that there is, and wearing uncomfortable hats and drinking cheap beer won't make you know him any better. I got news for you, Sancho - The "working man" doesn't like you. He probably never will. He doesn't like punk-ass little kids whose parents are paying for everything, he thinks punk rock is for pussies, and believe it or not, but he probably would beat the shit out of you after he saw that "puppet show to show solidarity with the oppressed peoples of Outer Elbonia" you put on a few months ago. The guy down there on the loading docks and the guy leaning on the handle of his shovel in an orange vest are nothing like you, and they prefer it that way. He drinks the cheap beer because it's all he can afford, and he quit wearing that ugly-ass mesh hat when he saved up the 15 bucks for a nice cloth one, probably with the logo of some college sports team, and he'd be a lot more likely to punch you in the face or call you a "fucking pussy-assed faggot" than he would to smile, give you a hug, and agree that the occupation or Iraq needs to end and that Fidel Castro and Kim Jong Il are misunderstood visionaries. You're not the working man, and you'll never know the working man, until you're sitting in a warehouse, pushing around a pallet-jack and wondering how you're going to afford new shoes for the kid your wife had when she was 17. Especially if the method you use to try and get to feel closer to him is to fucking make fun of him. Screw you. I hate you.

Arrogance from the Bottom
The world is full of arrogant, holier-than-thou pricks, and it goes without saying that damn near all of them have no rom to talk. First of all, something I have a lot of experience with lately, and it's Oklahoma State fans. Feel free to skip this part if your one of those "sports are stupid" types. Pussy. Anyway, it's this big college football rivalry, sort of. "Sort of" in that at this point, The University of Oklahoma doesn't even consider OSU to be in their league, much less an actual "Rival." Meanwhile, you can't get Oklahoma State fans to shut up about how much better their team has always been, even saying that this year's 59-10 loss (while OU was ranked #1 in the nation, mind you) was a fluke. I shit you not, I actually saw a guy say that. If you listen to damn near any OSU fan, you'd think they were this dominant team that's owned OU the whole time. Well, think of this. OU considers Texas to be its biggest rival, and over the last ninety years or so, Texas leads the series by seventeen games. Over the same period, Oklahoma State has won sixteen games in their series with OU. So to every cocky OSU fan, shut the fuck up. Now, on to relevant topics...
I think the biggest form of arrogance from the bottom has to be the arrogance of damn near every country on Earth in regards to the United States. And of course, there's one in particular, that should be all-too apparent... I think I already kinda-sorta covered this somewhere before. Just to sum up here: If your country's main source of protection from outside threats is an American military base, if your country's unemployment rate is over ten percent during an economic boom, if your country has thousands of old people dying in their homes, because they were too poor for air conditioning and their kids were too busy going on vacation, if your country's main reason for opposition to "American aggression" is your leaders' own shady deals with brutal dictators, if your country has created isolated ghettoes where gang-rape is damn near a daily part of life for anyone remotely female-looking, and if your country had to come up with a new word to describe how bummed everyone is about the general shape of your country, SHUT THE FUCK UP. And if you're not going to shut up, at least stop saying that I'M the arrogant one, while you tell me how wrong I and my country are about everything, Frenchy.

And fuck that stupid penguin, too.
Linux users get on my nerves. How much, you might ask? Well, let's put it this way: I've heard from a few computer-savvy sources that Linux is a lot more reliable than Windows and doesn't crash anywhere near as much. Then again, all the non-geeks who have told me about it have told me that it's a for-nerds-only OS, that's about as user-friendly as a steering wheel made out of a donut, and the "ooh, it's open-source!" thing will never affect you or your computing experience in any way, whatsoever. But yeah, let's just go with the first opinion and say it's a ton better than Windows. With all that being said, I can confidently say that I will never even consider using Linux as an operating system on my computer. "Well why not? What if it is better than Windows?" Because every Linux user I've ever heard about the system from is a fucking annoying elitist prick who needs to be punched. There, I've said it. Look, if you want to recommend Linux to me, fine. Just say something like "hey, you know, Linux works better than Windows, you should try it," and then politely answer any questions I might have about it. Don't give me the usual shit like, "Oh, you use Windows? HA HA HA! End-user sheep! I hope you have fun sucking Bill Gates's sweaty corporate dick, sheep! Ha ha ha! Linux is OPEN SOURCE, and that means I'll get more women than you ever will, Mr. Blue Screen of Death! HA HA HA!" At least Mac users are somewhat justified in the arrogance toward Windows folks. I mean, they don't really have a choice with their crappy, commie-ass machines. I can feel where the Mac user is coming from, because after all, I'm the one always trying to convince people that my busted-ass Datsun is a fine specimen of asphalt-burning sex-machinery. Much like the Mac user, if I had the ability to get a nice new Nissan Sentra, I'd get one, just like the Mac user would probably use Windows if he had the choice. And neither of us would ever - EVER - let anyone know this. But back on the subject at hand, Linux users have no freaking excuse. At this point, I'm convinced that nerdy Linux elitists have been planted by Microsoft to make sure the world hates Linux and will gladly use Windows. And his plan has worked splendidly. Gates, you magnificent bastard.

There. I feel much better now.

2006 Reflections: Read that last little part about the old 280Z again, and then, take a moment to reflect on the car that I drive now. Damn, that's eery.
