[Rant] Minor Rant III: For a Few Hollers More

I just had to un-watch the Bioshock Infinite thread. I'll have to go see what you guys said about it in December when the GOTY edition drops.
 
Why couldn't I have just bought a PC?
I have a mac, which means I can't use the microsoft office or ms/sql server provided to me by my school unless I dual boot. I'm trying to download bootcamp, but now my slow internet means its going to take forever. Its been downloading for 2 hours and still isnt halfway done. Then I have to download windows, which will take lord knows how long. I wish that macs didn't have to be their own special flowers that couldn't run any normal software. Not to mention I'm sure I could've gotten a kickass PC for half the price of this laptop.
Fuck you freshman year blotsfan. Fuck you.

You don't download Boot Camp, it should already be installed. Nothing to download, just a program to run (Boot Camp Assistant). There may be drivers to download, but there's no way that should take more than a few minutes.

The worst part about a Facebook feed full of people telling me that America is a nation based on Christian beliefs that therefore should base law on those same beliefs is knowing that anything I say to the contrary will simply be lost. I hate that so much.

I think the fact that more than half of the founding fathers were deists (believed in an impersonal god who ether wasn't around anymore or was so abstract it didn't care what you did so you didn't need to worship it) would blow there minds. Well, except for the fact that they'd call you a liar and just refuse to believe it.
 
The way I heard it, the puritans wanted freedom to persecute more than the C of E, so they came here.
They fled because they weren't allowed to worship the way they wanted to. Stricter or less strict is rather irrelevant - the State should not be telling you how to worship or who.
 
I have come to a startling(well maybe not that startling) revelation...there is no point in being annoyed with any slang. Lets face it, the slang we used as kids was just as stupid as todays and getting in a fluster over someone saying "YOLO" or "cray-cray" your just weren't raised with it and therefore don't like it. And for the people who say slang kills the English language, doesn't it deserve to be killed? The English empire is one of tyranny, racism, slavery, and people ousting do we really need to honor their language? LET THE MURDER OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE BEGIN!

But they did turn around and set up an atmosphere of repression of the settlers of Massachusetts Bay Colony.

I hate when I write the entire blog, but can't post it because I can't come up with the closing joke. It's just so damned frustrating.
 
I'm trying to take notes on a lecture while my son tells me his tales of the Goblin King and the dwarves from The Hobbit and his sister yells at him to stop talking to her. I need a mute button for life.
 
Today is my last day of employment (maybe? Seems they can't give me a straight answer) and I have a toothache.

The last time I had a toothache it cost me a fortune.

I've no doubt I'll be dismissed, but there's no bureaucrat like a Texas Bureaucrat. Last time this came around for me, they wasted my time from 9am to 3pm before deciding to let the even numbered of us go (which included me). Like THAT wasn't a decision that could have been made 5 or 6 hours earlier?

Believe you me, if they ever get around to asking me any questions, they'll be sending me on my way with all haste. It's just a pity it takes them so long to get anything done.
 
And now, Mickee's pointless pop-culture rant!

How the hell is Cobra Commander's identity secret in the comics? His son Billy's identity is known to the public and last I checked his mom's still alive, so all they have to do is find his birth records and then Cobra's identity is BLOWN open. How the hell can a leader be shrouded in mystery when his identity can easily be found out by going through public records!

This has been Mickee's pointless pop-culture rant.
 
My wife and I both have incredibly, incredibly bad food poisoning. It's a struggle to keep water down, so I'm really hoping neither of us winds up at the ER being re-hydrated intravenously. Apparently while all of the Burgerville restaurants in Oregon are awesome, the one in Centralia, WA is horrible, and has a habit of mishandling poultry.
 
If you both are that violently ill you may be better off going to the ER. They might be able to give you something like Zofran or Phenergan to help your stomach.

I have never been called for jury duty and I really, really want to. My son has been called twice and neither time has had to go in.
