Dot Info

I’ve never messed around and put a second entry into my blog before, but I thought this might warrant it. I was just playing around and I noticed that someone has registered the domain www.disgruntledhuman.info… That’s all fine and dandy by me, but when I pull up the who is information on the site, it’s the same as mine and that pisses me off. I don’t know if it’s a glitch in the system or something because they don’t have their site up and running yet or what, but if they are attempting to mirror this site or put shit on that site and try somehow to attribute it to me then I guess there will be some hell to pay.

A Better Mousetrap

Usually around this time of year all the stupid little mice decide that it’s too cold outside for them to hang out so they think they need to come inside. That means that the garage now looks like prime real estate for them to hang out in. I saw one in the garage on Saturday so that night I put a mouse trap out there with a little peanut butter on it. Sunday morning I get up and there we go. Dead mouse in a tripped trap; just as expected. So I decided on Sunday that maybe there was more than one mouse in the garage and I should repeat my mouse trapping expedition for another evening. So Sunday before going to bed I decided to set another trap. Well, I get up this morning and go check out the trap at breakfast time and there is no trap. So I look around a little more and the trap is over in the corner behind the garbage cans. Only problem is there is nothing in the trap. I was expecting at least a little mouse paw or something in there. Now I have to wonder whether or not I have some big ass rat in the garage that I just pissed off last night with my trap or hopefully just a slightly smart mouse.

Ah, it’s Columbus Day, whatever that means. I guess it means that the lazy ass mailman didn’t have to deliver me any mail because he gets another day off. I never did really understand why we celebrated Columbus Day. Columbus “discovered” America is usually what we’re told as to why we celebrate. Yes, Columbus discovered America, much in the same way as I discover Wal Mart every time I go there. Sure it was there and there were plenty people inside when I arrived, but I still plant my flag and conquer when I get there. I guess if I were a government employee and wanted yet another day off then I would accept the day with open arms and all, but I still don’t think it should be a holiday; but then again, what do I know?

Fuck Fall

Fall is here and all I have to say is; fuck fall. Fall? I hate the fall. What bullshit. Oh the leaves change color. They change color for two days; then a big wind comes and you got nothing but sticks for the rest of the year. You never have a proper fall coat, nothing you wear is right. You wake up it’s sunny out, you put a coat on. You go out you’re sweating like a pig, you take it off then it’s cold… it’s bullshit. – Lewis Black The White Album.

Yes, the fall has arrived in Wisconsin. I know this because when I woke up this morning, a large amount of the leaves that were in the tree yesterday were now on the ground… but oh were they such pretty colors. Nothing like dying leaves to bring out the love in people. The fun part of all this is watching the retard neighbors outside raking like a fool. It’s not a battle you are going to win may I remind you. Look at the trees jackass, there’s still leaves up there which means that once you rake your precious yard up, more leaves are going to fall into it. That has always baffled me how some people can be so fucking anal about their yards like that. (in my best Beavis voice… huhuhuh… you said fucking anal) I just never really figured it out. I am surprised that these people aren’t out shoveling the snow off of their precious lawns during the winter. The funny thing is it’s not all the people in the neighborhood so that means that even if the trees are done shedding the leaves, the leaves from next door will probably blow into your yard by morning.

I got another email about Wal Mart this morning in my inbox. This one was different than the previous two. Why do you ask? Because the person that sent it is apparently able to form thoughts and then communicate them in writing. Check it out…

My Dad works at Wal-Mart. He told me that the only reason Wal-Mart won’t sell regular CDs is that there is not a rating system on them. Movies and such have a rating system and at the register when a movie is scanned it tells the cashier to check if the buyer is 18 or older. Same with guns and cigarettes sales. There isn’t a system like that for music..yet. He said that they are working with record labels to see if there is something they can do. But most say it is free speech and don’t plan to change it.

But, i do kinda agree with you. I would like to buy CDs at my Local Wal-mart, but I don’t because I like to hear the whole CD. Sucks when they rip it up to sell at Wal-mart.

That’s cool. Finally someone read my Wal Mart page and didn’t fly off the handle and go on some caps lock rampage because I insulted the smiley face place. I slightly disagree with this though, because most objectionable music does come with the Parental Advisory: Explicit Content sticker in place and therefore they could use that as the basis for the register to ask if the buyer was 18 or older. It happens whenever I buy an R rated movie or when someone buys smokes, so why not sell stickered music and just have age verification?

Cold Fronts

Normally on a Monday I should be bitching about going back to work and whatnot, but unfortunately I haven’t been away enough from there yet. I am luckily off Wednesday so that will be nice after a long week.

So I’m at work today putting up the hats, gloves and mittens display because that’s what you do in Wisconsin around this time. It’s a fact that it gets cold out around now. So of course while I’m putting them up I get a few different customers walking by me going… oh no, he’s putting out the winter gloves and hats, now it’s going to get cold. Yep, you figured it all out. Tonight you’ll be watching the weather and the meteoroligist is going to say “well, expect an extreme dip in temperatures in the next few days, but it’s not due to this cold front barreling down from Canada, no… it’s because that Dave guy put out his hats and gloves at the store today.” As much power as I’d love to claim I have, controlling the weather isn’t one that I have. Believe me, if I did it sure the fuck would never snow in Wisconsin; at least my town.

Another thing that bugs me about going from summer into fall is these people that think they must go outside and cover up their stupid fucking precious plants. What are you doing? If they are going to be staying outside all winter then maybe you should just look at this as practice or something. Otherwise they will never be prepared for the sub zero temps that are coming in the next couple months. If it’s a plant that you bring inside during the winter, then bring that bastard inside now and quit leaving it outside with only a sheet covering it… you cruel heartless bastard. Wait until PETPF gets a hold of you.

That’s right, People for the Ethical Treatment of Plants and Flowers. I’m starting a new group because animals don’t deserve to be in the spotlight all the time. Guess what, you salad eating vegetarian mother fuckers, you’re our first target. When we’re finished nobody will be eating plants and you won’t be trimming them or any of that shit. If you’re that hungry then go kill some stupid animal and leave the poor plants alone. Anyway, back to the topic. Why the hell do people go outside and cover their plants up when a few weeks from now they’ll just say fuck it and let them freeze to death? I guess I don’t see the point. It’s like keeping someone on life support and then going, oh well fuck em, I’ve done enough… pull the plug. Guess that’s why I’m not one of these plant people. As far as I’m concerned plants only serve one purpose and that’s to provide my ass with some damn oxygen. The plant needs the carbon dioxide I exhale to live and I need the oxygen it emits to breathe so therefore the plants can stay… but quit fucking decorating with the goddamn things!

Daddy, why’s the Street Melting?

Ok, so I’m watching the news last night and reading it online and they are talking about Mt. St. Helens is probably going to erupt again pretty soon, in fact yesterday they said it would within 24 hours and there would probably be lava involved this time. So I get home from work today and I start flipping through the news channels to see if it blew it’s top yet and it hadn’t… but there was this dufus from FOX News (redundant I know) live from the Volcano. Here is this guy standing maybe 3 miles away if that pointing at it and talking about it. He was telling the person that was safe in the studio that we are at the 22 hour mark and it hasn’t blown up yet, etc… Well, don’t you think that if the scientists are saying that this volcano might blow up again and have some lava in the eruption this time that you might just want to get the fuck out of the way? I know I would. They were talking about people in Seattle may get some of the ash fallout from it and they are like 50 miles away from there, so I would venture to guess that if you are standing within view of this thing when it blows you might get more than an ash showering. Even if you don’t get pummeled with lava then you still are going to have your air filled with ash. Here, I know you work for FOX News and aren’t that smart, but let me explain something to you that I learned in third grade. You need oxygen to breathe, and you need to breathe to stay alive. If the air you are attempting to breathe becomes filled with ash and whatever else the volcano is giving off, then you probably aren’t going to be breathing much are you? So fucking move away from the death trap, or is it sweeps week. If you are going to do that, then at least send Geraldo out there.

I watched the debate and I guess most of the polls are saying that Kerry won. I guess the only two ways you wouldn’t know that Kerry won the first debate is if you had either not watched it or were a Republican. I don’t want to brag too much but I think that on this debate Kerry owned Bush’s ass. It does make me extremely uneasy to watch the President of the U.S.A. stutter and stammer through most of the questions that were asked of him. The way he talked and answered the questions asked of him reminds me more of the manager of a fast food joint when you question them about the weird object in your french fries; definitely not the leader of the free world. I truly hope that the next two debates result in similar outcomes because I don’t want four more years of this bullshit. Like I’ve said before, the only way I would vote for Bush is if I was voting him off the island.

I was truly stunned that the some of the Republicans were talking about how well the debate went for Bush and that he had shown Kerry up a few times. Shown him up on what? Were we watching the same debate because from what I saw Bush was stammering like someone who accidentally touched the prongs of some electrical cord while he was trying to plug it in. I think that when he went speechless, it was because his earpiece that he had in to have someone in the back give him answers wasn’t working. I did enjoy the fact that every time Kerry would get him on something he had to say that Kerry was always changing his message. It’s like yeah, we covered that about two topics ago, so why don’t you move along and respond to what we are discussing now. He’s a, what’s the word? It rhymes with moron; oh it is moron.
