Fans-
Upon watching the final moments of the World Series again (God Bless Tivo), there's something I noticed. The Rockies fans were strangely optimistic in the final inning. They were cheering for the weirdest things. Those freakin' towels, they'll do you in every time.
Oh and next time, find your own chant and don't steal ours.

Silent Scream
I have to get this off my chest. Britney Spears. Train wreck, pop star hasbeen. She cares about nothing but herself.
Being the mother of a 2 year old ( the same age as one of her kids), there is nothing I wouldn't do for my child. Jump through a ring of fire, you betcha. She doesn't love or want those kids, if she did she would be doing everything the judge has asked of her. Yet time and time again, she's blowing off what she should be doing to get her kids back.
The dancers for her tour- blown off 3 times because Miss Brit didn't make it to the studio to audition them.
The album, she phoned it in. The cover is a copy of the single cover for "Gimme More"- she didn't even come up with a decent cover.
The video for "Gimme More"- if you've seen it, you'll understand- she phoned that in too. Where's the big dance number? Where's the oomph? There is none, swinging around a stripped pole is not a good music video.
Dear fans, she doesn't care- maybe one day you too will wake up and realize that- you're enabling her. Sure, I feel bad when I see her swarmed by photogs, but there are other celebrities that can handle it much better than her.
Some say "I like the music, I could care less about what she does in life", but by supporting her less than stellar music career, you are supporting the choices she makes in life.
The girl needs help, but won't do anything to fix her situation. It's time to kick her in the pants and make her realize that we need to turn our backs on her until she straightens up.

OMG I hate people
I seriously have absolutely no tolerance for people that think they are the only person on the planet.
Let me give a few examples:
People in the crosswalk, I totally understand that I am to let you cross the street. You have the right of way. BUT- if you are crossing the street at a pace slower than a snail stuck in molasses, I have the right to bump you (just a little) with my car. If you step out in front of my car with absolutely no clue that there is a car coming (you're on the cell phone, you're talking you you're best friend as the two of you cross, or you just feel that the world should stop for you no matter what) I take issue with that. Respect works both ways, I should be able to run you over (kidding).
People in other cars- here's my favorite, you pull out in front of me and then wave to me like I let you out- I have another gesture for you.
Then there are the drivers that are behind you, pass you get in front of you just to get off the very next exit. What does that prove? you can get there 30 seconds faster? Big Deal.
Maybe if you had more respect for your fellow man, I wouldn't have to put up with such idiots.

Hey Lane Bryant
You new jeans sizing- SUCKS.
I went in there the other day because someone gave me a gift certificate for my birthday. All I wanted was a new pair of jeans for the fall. Easy right? Pop in, get my size and pay and I'm outta there! WRONG!
The geniuses at Lane Bryant have now come up with a new way to screw with the fat woman.
Their sizes now are bases on you being "fitted" for the "right" jean. So now I gotta get some sales chick to measure both my waist and hips (like being overweight isn't hard enough already). Now I have to figure out what size I am (1-10 , not the traditional sizing the rest of the world is used to). PLUS I have to figure out if I'm a yellow,blue, or red. I kid you not, it's like taking a freakin' test just to buy a pair of jeans.
So the girl tells me I'm a yellow and hands me my "new" size. By this time I'm so frazzled and my toddler is getting restless. I quickly try them on and go and buy them.
Here's the problem, the jeans weren't right. When I wore them in the "real world" they were loose in the waist and tight in the hip area. For the 2 hours that I actually wore them, I was so miserable. Partly my fault for not taking more time in the fitting room, but the sales chick should have pick the correct jeans for me, these were obviously not the right "color" ( I should have known because I hate yellow, there was no way I could have been a "yellow").
SO now I have to go back to the store and exchange them for either a "blue" or "red". Jeez what a pain in the ass, all I wanted was a simple pair of jeans, not all this hassle.
Lane Bryant, I'm begging you, please go back to the traditional sizes we're all happy with.

Take some responsibility
Attention pet owners- can you be a little responsible for your pets?
I am so sick of people who get pets and then neglect them. Believe it or not, they are not independent free thinkers, they need you. Don't leave your pets outside for hours while you're not home. I've seen my neighbor's dogs escape from the yard 4 times now. Three of those times, I rounded them up, and got them back into the yard. When I went to ring the bell, no one was home- all three times.
Today, as hard and as mean as it might be, I just watched as those dogs ran the neighborhood. Finally someone came out of the house and chased them down. Now what would have happened if one of those dogs would have gotten hit by a car? You can be darn sure the dog owner would have blamed the driver.
Pets are a huge responsibility, if you don't have the time to dedicate to them, don't get one and do the pet and you a favor.

All this over a Lapel Pin?
So Barack Obama says that he won't wear an American flag lapel pin. This is the big flap of the week? Since when do you have to wear a pin to "prove" you're proud to live here? It's a PIN, a piece of jewelry.
The irony of the whole thing- all the "journalists" that were giving him crap over this - not one of them was wearing that pin on their lapel either. Those in glass houses should not throw stones.
Thank you Lewis Black

Stop Screwing with My Holidays
I am so sick of people getting "offended" over holidays.
Halloween is a holiday for kids. It's for them so they can get dressed up, and gorge themselves on candy. Stop putting a Satanic meaning to it. We can't celebrate it in schools anymore because someone got offended by it. I am so sick of people treading on something that's supposed to be fun. Everyone has a freakin' stick up their butt.
Enjoy life, have fun, there is too much turmoil and strife in the world as it is. Let the kids be kids and have fun. Let them enjoy life. There is too much pressure today to not offend anyone or hurt their feelings. I don't have time for that. Stop crying that it will hurt your kid's psyche.
People need to grow up and deal with life, stop whining, lighten up and get over it.
I can't wait for Christmas!

I never want to get that call
Here we go again, another shooting at a school. All because a student was suspended.
Children of today- life is not as bad as you think that it is. A suspension is nothing in the grand scheme of things. The jerk that is picking on you today is going to end up bald and alone. Packing a gun is not the solution.
Listening to students saying they were calling their parents telling they love them because they thought they were going to get shot - rips my heart out. I never want to get that call from my child.
Parents talk to your kids, let them know that there are worse things out there than getting in trouble in school. Things can be worked out without violence, pay attention to and listen to your kids when they say they are having problems. Sometimes they newed to know you may have gone through the exact things they did when you were their age.
