Welcome to my mind...or fragments of it, anyway. Here I will share with you my thoughts and opinions on everything from music, gaming, social networking and random shit I find funny, annoying, ridiculous and worth mentioning. It will not be safe for your kids to read...and, at times, may not be terribly safe to open at work.

You may or may not always agree with what you find here, but you are always welcome to refute, debate and comment on it...and then, immediately go fuck yourself. You have been warned.

Other People's Opinions

The old saying goes, "opinions are like assholes, everyone has one". I believe more in the fact that, "people that openly share their uninformed opinions sound like a bunch of assholes". While I agree that everyone is entitled to their opinion...I do NOT believe that everyone is entitled to voice it out loud.


I have had my fill of people sharing their misconceived notions and bullshit opinions about everything...but especially three areas: sports, politics and parenting. Three areas that require more than just what you read somewhere or heard third-hand from someone else that doesn't know shit on the subject(s).


I will touch on sports before getting in to the two that people will take offense to...


When it comes to sports, if you don't know about them - shut up about them. If you don't like them - don't bother those that do with your lack of enthusiasm over them...or your opinion about how they are over paid. We don't care. Root for your team, root against mine, whatever. Just don't throw out what you heard or read this morning or heard from a friend of a friend and expect me to give any credibility to it. I can always tell when you are just quoting someone else's bullshit...and it makes you look like an asshole.




Politics is a whole other story...but very similar to sports. Most people have no fucking clue what they are talking about when it comes to politics. Nothing. Not how they work, not how they actually affect us, not about the processes involved. Nothing. They know that they hate anyone that comes to office and that they are all the worst person to ever sit in that office. It doesn't matter who it is...they are terrible and the next guy will be so much better. Until, of course, that guy takes office for a year and then they take the crown of "worst ever". Again, having that opinion is your right - voicing it makes you sound like the rest of the uninformed assholes. Take the time to do some research instead of relying on your retarded friends and their bullshit opinions.




Parenting is the fun one and I will make it short until someone decides to debate it with me:


IF YOU HAVE NEVER HAD KIDS, SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT HOW ANY PARENT HANDLES THEIR CHILD!

Seriously, you have no idea what that woman in Walgreen's is flipping out about or what her asshole kid has put her through for the last 3 hours. You have no clue as to the week she has had or the bullshit she has had to endure. Any parent can tell you, and they are fucking lying if they deny it, that there has been at least one day that they would have jumped off a roof rather than endure another "why?", another spilled drink, another broken something or another sleepless night. You and your infinite wisdom may have caught her in Walgreen's after any of those...or a string of those put together. Point is, you have no idea. It is easy to sit back and judge anyone for what you know nothing about...but kids isn't a subject you want to broach with me or any other actual parent.


Again, you are entitled to your opinion...but keep it to your fucking self.
