All I Can Say Is...WHAT THE FUCK
I was tired. I was slightly hung over. I was hungry. I was stressed out. I was in no mood to even be going to campus, let alone put up with any kind of annoyance.
This was the state of things yesterday as I boarded the Tiger Transit.
Sitting in the seat behind the driver was another Tiger Transit driver. He was on of those crusty-ass, old as dirt, I've-had-one-too-damn-many-Twinkies types. I stepped onto the bus and the next thing I knew, he wass saying "Here you go," and shoving something into my hand. Thinking I had possibly dropped something, I took it without looking and trudged over to a seat.
It was then that I took a look at what he had handed me. It was a folded up SGA flier saying "VOTE FOR WILLIAM SAMFORD!"
That asswipe had just handed it to me to get rid of it.
So here is my message to him:
There are trash cans located at the front of every Tiger Transit. They serve a purpose. DON'T HAND ME YOUR FUCKING TRASH!
As if I don't hate fliers enough already, now I'm getting them secondhand.
WHAT THE FUCK?

Strum on this, Fucker! (points to crotch)
I HATE these self-important music dicks that walk around like they are the goddamn musical authority ordained by God himself. The fact that you listen to music by bands that are not known by many people does not make you special. You are not elite. All over the country, small groups of people huddle around tiny,unpublicized bands and they too are not special.
The beauty of music for me is that it is so subjective. What one person hears and likes is going to be completely different from another person. So don't fucking tell me that a band I like is a bunch of sell outs with no real sound. You'll hear a real sound when I shit on your face while you sleep. Who are you to tell me that a band isn't good? So what? They make money doing what they enjoy. Who are you to judge their sound. Just because a band doesn't sound the same in every album or even every song on an album doesn't suggest succumbing to pressures other than their own creativity.
Also, don't tell me that you don't like something because it is overplayed. It's only overplayed if you play it too much. If you listen to the radio, that is your fault. The radio is a soulless box of advertisements with the sole purpose of playing what is currently popular over and over. Try out XM. Not only is each channel chock-full of more musical variety, but there are tons of channels to choose from. If you hear something too much, you are setting yourself up in that situation. Fix it and don't make it my problem.
Don't tell me a band's lyrics are shallow or their riffs are pointless and repetitive. I don't care. When music enters my ears, I judge it based on the reaction it evokes in me; not the stylings of individual instruments. You are setting yourself up for a very narrow appreciation if you nitpick on details. If that's what you want, fine. But don't fucking harass me about the songs I listen to.
Goddamn it. Whatever happened to just minding your own fucking business? When did that concept float off into deep space? I don't like country music, but if you are listening to it or even if you love it, I'm going to get up in your shit about it. If you ask me my opinion, I will tell you that I don't prefer that genre and that is all. I'm not going to rant about how it's just a bunch of hillbilly bullshit with the same old shallow twangy guitar..... Fuck people like that.
Listen to the music you want, when you want. Don't take shit from anyone.

Power Trip
It started as a typical Wednesday morning. I awoke, showered, and was busy getting ready for my 11:15 client meeting for Campaigns. Suddenly, there was a loud banging on the door. I scrambled to clothe myself, but when I got to the door, nobody was there. I turned to walk back into the apartment, and at that moment, the power shut off. Soaking wet and worried about making it to my meeting, on time, I called Kristen and asked to get ready at her house. On my way out the door, I discovered a pink thing hanging on the knob. What was it, you ask?
A notice from Alabama Power informing me that we had been disconnected.
Like I hadn't realized that one already.
The notice claimed that we were not only $178 in debt to them, but we also now owed $60 in reconnection costs and a $185 security deposit. I was angry and confused, because we had mailed a full payment for our last bill and hadn't received another one since. On top of that, we had also never gotten any type of warning from Alabama Power that we were in danger of being disconnected. So, I called Jen and we decided to take the issue up with Alabama Power after my meeting.
Jen and I went to Alabama Power and they were as un-helpful as humanly possible. Apparently our last payment had never arrived, and we never got our bill for January. When we complained about not having any warning, they explained that the warning was enclosed in the bill we never got.
Talk about being stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Not only was the woman completely un-sympathetic, she is making us pay the entire $423 charge. So we paid the reconnect fee and the money that we were overdue on, and they are charging us the deposit.
I honestly don't understand why they would feel a need to do this to people who have, up until that point, paid in full and on time every month. I've had that account in my name for a year and a half and we have never had an incident until now.
My parents encouraged me to write them a letter, but since Alabama Power has no competition, I can't exactly use the "I'm going to take my business elsewhere" threat.
So I would like to send out a resounding "Fuck You!" to Alabama Power.
As if my day couldn't get any better, the following things happened:
*I got a $50 ticket for parking in an R-zone disgused as a B-zone when I went to my meeting.
*I went to work and found out that one of my co-workers has been telling the boss lies about me to get me in trouble
*I didn't get to go out because my friend never called me back and didn't answer his phone
*I found out that a certain person is even more of a certifiable ass than we all had previously thought
*Somone parked in my spot and I couldn't get them towed
Happy freaking day to me.
