The World Disappoints Me..... Terribly

Ok, today kinda sucked.

It just had that suck smell all over it. My weekend had gone pretty well. Had my birthday celebration with the majority of my closest friends. Some killer folk couldn't make it but that's standard these days ain't it? The previous Friday had left me with some sour feelings but it was Friday after all so I easily shook that shit off.

One thing just led to another over the past three days which eventually caused me to form this opinion. Although temporary it might be, still completely valid.

People suck. They are stupid! No one tries anymore with even the most mundane of tasks. I'll give an example. The other day I went to meet a person I had never seen before. I had to meet them at their work.

No big deal, easy peasy right?

No, sorry, nothing is easy anymore. I was told to go to the front door and ask for reception.

Ok, I follow.

I walked in the front door and asked for my contact. The lady working reception gave me a look like I was an idiot. The receptionist continued to explain that the person I wanted was to be found at the front door around the side of the building.

Ok.... Ok.... Ok...., I'm trying to calm down, just a sec. Ok,...., I'm sure you caught that? Please tell me you did.

THE FRONT DOOR AT THE SIDE OF THE BUILDING!!!

Are you fucking kidding me?

So now, instantly, at least two people are complete fucking morons. The person who neglected to tell me there were multiple offices contained in a building I'd never been to before and the receptionist who thinks such a thing as a side-front door exists. No signage anywhere so directions is all I have to go with.

If you are giving directions you need to be specific right? No one on the planet would think that the front door means side door without further details.

I'm a detail oriented guy so if I was telling someone to come to my office space located in a larger complex housing many businesses I would mention, at least, our front door. Laziness has become accepted commonplace among humankind. That's bullshit.

Another example would have to be from my most recent experience with film. Harry Potter 6. Anyone who saw that movie should now know the end. I won't give it away. I don't need to. Its so fucking obvious. My problem is that this is the level of structure needed to fool the average citizen these days. Maybe its North America, maybe its television. Whatever the cause people are getting dumber and they are proud of it to the point of defending it as a life style.

Don't get me wrong. I don't think I'm better than people and I have great confidence in the capability of humans, in their potential, but I have been bombarded lately by things like "Why you gotta think so much man? Can't you just enjoy it?

No I fucking can't!!! This is wrong. We are headed in the wrong direction here people. The idea is to evolve, not regress. Until we get it through our heads that we are making ourselves dumber and dumber by accepting garbage as gospel we are doomed to climb back into the trees and flinging crap at each other. Hey, we're pretty close now aren't we.

Push intelligence, not complacency. We are never complete. There will always be room for improvement.

A Re-organization Of My Blog

Hello friends, or friend. I've decided to change the focus of my blog.
I haven't exactly lost my passion for foraging, actually far from it, but I have decided its something I just want to do, not report on. As such I need new subject matter. Really there's nothing better to blog about than the things you find yourself talking about day to day.

You might not know what I mean.

Ever had an issue that for some reason is dear to your heart? With no warning you launch into deep discussion with the nearest stranger. For me those issues are many and varied.
For instance: Bad Drivers
Zombie stuff
Politics, both National and International
Food
Hockey
Music
Movies, television, games and pop culture
Social issues
Atheism
And the list goes

Some topics I'm going to avoid like the plague:

Baseball

High Finance
Babies
Children
Preteens
Young teenagers
Basically anyone under the age of 18
Family Stuff
Feminism (unless its to vent about contradictions contained within, I'm entitled to an opinion)
Cars
Night Clubs/Bars
Basically anything lame or 'jockish' or is it 'jockesque' (they can't read anyhow right?)
Etc.

So why now? Why not reformat after May? Why wait till now?

Look... I was busy ok. At this point I'm cooking with..... solar? Gotta stay environmental. Wait did I put that in the list of things I'm gonna talk about??? Screw it. In case you haven't noticed I do enough writing at work and online to write this blog with professional discretion. Its my chance to let loose and to write like I speak. Uh oh!

Just a heads up.

Look for my comedic list of driver types, as categorized by yours truly, in the near future. I'll try and put my road rage into print instead of up someone's bumper. Beware stupid drivers.

Example: Shuck and Jivers - Everyone knows these guys. They may be called assh@le or jerk on your list but any way you slice it they react the same. They can be found on any highway that has more than one lane headed in the same direction. These peons actually think that constantly changing lanes for mere inches of space will not only get them to their destination sooner but they actually believe that every other driver on the road is an idiot. Explaining to these people that they are one of the main reasons highways get bogged down and traffic slows is like convincing a retarded rock that it can fly. (Hope I didn't offend anyone with the retard comment, ok ok ok, a challenged rock)

Effective deterence: Box em out. You know what I mean. Find a big rig travelling relatively slowly and siddle up along that road whale. Now all you need to do is match the speed of the big rig and the trap is laid.......

That is the idea anyhow. It might suck big ones but hey, I gots to try it right. If you don't like it go suck a lemon. Just teasing. Talk soon? Call me.
