Random rants
Rant #1
I just got off the phone with my girlfriend. Here's part of the conversation:
Her: Tell me something.
Me: What do you want to know about?
Her: Just tell me something.
Me: LIKE WHAT?
Her: I don't know. Something.
Me: I stayed home all day playing video games.
Her: ...
*She hangs up on me*
Totally uncalled for. I mean, what else did I do today? I don't understand girls...

Rant #2
Driving's great. New liberty, yet new responsibility.
To get to/from school, I must travel on several miles of highway. Usually everything goes smoothly, other times they don't.
I'm getting tired of people who pass other cars when they are going the speed limit. In my opinion, it's totally pointless.
Let's do a simple proportion, given a 10 mile stretch of highway with a speed limit of 55 mph.
Person driving 55 mph (the 1.09 is the number of minutes it takes to travel 1 mile going 55 mph, or 60/55):
That's going to equal 10.9 minutes to travel that road.
Now the person driving 60 mph (again, the lower 1 is the number of minutes to travel 1 mile at 60 mph, or 60/60):
That equals 10 x 1, or 10.
Doing the subtraction, you get 10.9 - 10 = 0.9 minutes.
Now let's think. Why pass someone (in this situation) when A)you're only going to get to your destination in less than a minute faster, B)gas mileage is proven to increase at lower speeds, and C)the road I'm talking about is hilly and visibility is low.
And most of the people doing it are those d-bags that drive like crazy people...
Rant #3
I'm getting sick of my phone.
It's one of those "T-Phones".... I don't know what it's really supposed to be called.
Lately I've been having a cornucopeia (large assortment) of problems with it. The other day it quit receiving picture and video messages. Today it won't let me erase ANYTHING, such as pictures, texts, DRAFTS (my girlfriend caught a draft of me [innocently] texting another girl, and WHOAH, I thought I'd never hear the end of it), and pretty much anything else.
The first problem I fixed by spending 45 minutes on the phone with Verizon's support team, which, by the way, totally sucks.
The other problem I may have to take it back sometime tomorrow or something...
Verizon's phones just suck in general. I've had 3 of them so far, and none have lasted over a year (all had software problems).

First of all, thanks for making the post simple even an idiot can understand. Second, I don't get girls either.. I don't know what they think but it's wierd. I hve mostly boys in my family so I'm not as girly as a normal girl is.
Also.. my brother is one of those peole who like to pass others while they are going the speed limit. I drive around the same speed, but I'm not allowed to be on the freeway, my parents go nuts. And there are a lot of freeways here in CA, so it's hard. I've had my phone for over 2 years and it's actually lost the volume and then it came back. When it looks like it's dead, it revives.... dunno how, but I think it wants me to keep him. Rants are possibly the most entertaining conversations, unless someone is talking about something totally stupid. Also I wasn't listening, I was reading. lol Well take care Bye! |

Your phone has gender... 0.o
And a will of its own. |

Girls...you'll never be able to understand them. Don't bother.

She was probably trying to get you to say something sweet to her like: "I like your smile." (though it is completely pointless when you have to coex it out of them.)

Sadly, it doesn't change if or when you marry them. Actually, at times it gets worse. I could write a book on crap my wife has called me an idiot on and later learned I was right. Did she apologize? You know the answer. Women only say they're sorry if they want something like $50, an hour of cuddling and no sex, etc.
Verizon was pretty good to me when I lived in Georgia. Sadly, they suck here in south-central Illinois. That's why I dropped them to the curb three years ago. I haven't had a cell since and it has been OH SO PEACEFUL without it. Most speeders don't have good math skills. They get the Tom Cruise rush and drive like bats out of you know where. My wife once got caught for speeding on a visit to her folks in the same town both coming and going. Both were over 110. She almost lost her license. That's also why I do the driving when we go somewhere. I like to arrive in one piece or as close to it as possible. Frank |

@ Greatheart
Yes, I know that. But the wierd thing was I just got done saying some mushy crap like that before. And it happened again last night.... @ TheRealScore Hahaha, in one piece is normally the best way to arrive :P |

They're girls. They want to hear it constantly. It's like games for us. Just because you played last night doesn't mean you wouldn't want to play today.
