List of things I'm sick and tired of

Sun Nov 22, 2009, 7:35 AM
  • Mood: Irritated
NEW: #21


Just a little list of things that I'm sick and tired of dealing with in normal life. These are in no particular order and you're free as always to ignore this.

--------------------------------------------------

1. The word "Escalade": I'm sure it's a fine car but I'm sick of hearing about them.

2. Madden Foot Ball Games: You're an idiot, stop buying the same fucking game every year.

3. Sub vs Dub: shut up, just because your fucking Naruto says "BELIEVE IT" instead of the Japanese word for "DOUBLE EXCLAMATION MARK" doesn't make it any worse than it already is. Half the time Dub isn't as bad as fanboys/girls like to judge. These losers like to take dubbed stuff like One Peice or Yugi-oh and make them the standard for dubbed anime. Even better when they take dubbed Hentai and say that's how all dubs sound. Just shut up, just because you can't tell if the Japanese voice acting isn't as dull and plain as the English dub doesn't make it better.

4. Anime: FUCK I'm getting tired of these series that only make progress in the story after 10-15 episodes. I blame DBZ and Inuyasha for this trend.

5. Yaoi Fangirls: It's fine that you like pairing boys up, but when you're so damn insistent that these boys were officially gay for each other it gets annoying. A good example? Kingdom Hearts fans.

6. Pedestrians: What the hell, if you're gonna be on the street at least have a bike otherwise USE THE PERFECTLY EVEN FUCKING SIDEWALK. Oh and MIND THE FUCKING CROSSING SIGNS TOO, if I have to wait at a green light again for your ignorant ass to cross, I'm running you over.

7. Online Gaming: In theory it's a great idea, except for the fact that the other players are thousands of miles away and decide it's okay to verbal abuse other players that haven't spent 22 hours a day with their asses planted in the same spot playing the same fucking game. These losers always seem to have the same tags too, something that has to do with killing and/or getting stoned, like 'HighKilla420'.... oh wait I'm sorry 'xX0hI-kiLLa420Xx'(completely random btw) is what I meant. Don't get me started on MMORPGs, nothing but a bunch of hackers and BEGGERS.

8. My mouth: I think I've developed dyslexia and a minor form of tourettes. I've been jumbling my words mid sentence alot lately and I've been yelling "SHIT" or "PISS" at random. Oh and damnit, not only is a new tooth growing but I think I'm getting cavities.

9. Obama: Yeah, I don't follow politics much but this guy worries me. When he was running, everyone loved him and now he's getting a Nobel Peace Prize for..... for..... uh. Nevermind...

10. Middle Aged Old Dudes at Work: closed-minded whiney fucks. So what if I yelled at a cat I passed on the street. So what if I said something that didn't make any sense. So what if I drew a third eye on my forehead. THINGS GET BORING and I wanna spice it up. What, you want to whine about the pension, talk about the Steelers and going golfing all the time? You've been around me long enough, stop giving me nasty looks like you didn't expect it.

11. "Lazy Highway Worker" Stereotype: So you drove by a road crew for afew minutes and saw one guy operating a big machine while the rest of the guys are standing there with shovels then came up with the label all Highway Workers are lazy. Well, would you like to be between a hole and a back hoe shovel? Somethings need to be done with machine and somethings need to be done by hand tools. Safer to stand aside and chill while the machines did the work until it was necessary to jump back in the hole. Just because you caught a short glimpse of what they were doing in those few minutes doesn't mean you know what they were doing earlier or later on.

12. Automobilists: When there's not stupid people walking around, there's stupid people driving around. This becomes more apparent when it's your job to direct traffic for afew weeks. There's old people that drift through stop signs and lights, idiots that almost wreck trying to go around a car that isn't going fast enough for them and nitwits that are either talking on the phone or are half-awake and sit at green lights. All I have to say is; pay attention and if you're gonna talk on your cell phone, pull over and stop to talk.

13. My Neighborhood: It was alright for awhile, but now it's starting to get a little.... *sigh* ghetto. Police/Ambulance sirens everyday, neighbors violently beating their kids possibly and/or yelling at their girlfriends/wives about them cheating on them. Drunks, corrupt councilmen, idiots, uneducated disrespectful kids. All this and annoying OLD PEOPLE. The OLD PEOPLE and corrupt councilmen seem to be a tradition in this place but everything else seems to be the normal annoying stuff that everyone would have to put up with in at least one neighborhood they lived in. Not to mention that fucking Ethnic Festival at the beginning of September but thankfully, as most of the churches in this neighborhood are closing down this year the festival is done... hopefully.

14. M-Rated Video Games: Here in the States, we have a messed up rating system for the Video Games. Anything with a decent amount of blood, killing people and afew cuss words get you a Mature (+18) rated game. Damn near every game that comes out anymore that's any good is M-rated, like Bionic Commando Rearmed. It's only real violent part is at the end of the game and you retro-nuts I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. Games like Halo and such aren't really that bad in a rating sense, but still get slapped with an M-rating. Don't get me wrong, games like Gears of War and Resident Evil 4 deserve an M because... damn man, chainsaws? Bugs that dissolves the player's flesh? Executions? Yeah, that's fine with an M. I wouldn't let my kids play that kinda stuff for a good while.

My major gripe here though with the rating is how constricting it is. You can have the most gruesome ways to die in a game but you can't have a short scene or two where there's nudity. Yeah some how God of War got away with that, but that's the last I've seen of nudity in games. I mean, if movies do it why can't video games? Just because kids are playing them more? Don't children also have access to rated-R movies? Come on you fucking gutless video game industry, get some balls and stop being scared of that Adults Only rating. For Christ's sake, Dead or Alive Xtreme 2 is rated M and all that is is tiny bikinis! WTF it doesn't even count as softcore porn! Should've been a Teen rating at least! DAMNIT NOW I'M PISSED... FUCK YOU ESRB.

15. Cult of Music: I've had people not like me solely because of the music I listen to. I'm not listening to some obnoxious rap or heavy metal/rock at one time or another and someone I'm hanging out with is like 'you're gay'. *rolls eyes* I gotta alot of music, I have some heavy metal, rock and alittle bit of rap, BUT HEAVEN FORBID IF IT'S NOT FROM THE RADIO! Excuse me for not caring about the stupid repetitive shit the radio plays, you close minded twits.

16. Created Characters on SC4: This is old, I know but it's bean bothering me. I play online and half the time I'm playing against some dude in full body armor that's all black or against some chick that isn't wearing anything but the bikini underwear and her boobs are huge. I don't know, maybe it's because I'm playing on XBL and the players on there are nothing but dumbass stoners who only play shooters and listen to heavy metal and songs about getting high that I'm only running into these people. Oh... and kids... they're usually kids.

17. Nickelback: This band BLOOOOOOOOOOOWS and yet the radio stations play their songs AAAAAAAAAAALLL the time. This band is proof that you can suck horribly at what you do and still be popular and rich no matter what, it's like the new American Dream or something.

18. UFC or Mixed Martial Arts fighting: SO, who thought it'd be a good idea to watch sweaty men dry hump on the floor in a hexagon cage as a sport? SERIOUSLY, that's all it ever really comes down to in any matches I've had the displeasure of seeing. No, it's not the homo-eroticism that bothers me, it's the fact that this is being passed off as martial arts. It's just two guys beating the shit out of each other anyway they can, there's no sport, form or discipline to it! Sure I've seen alittle Muay Thai in there, but that's like for the few seconds that they're actually standing up.

19. Online Japanese Players: Try to play them in a fighting game and they kick you! EDITED: At first I thought they were being elitist, but it appears they worry about the ping rate alot. Still ticks me off alittle.

20. "New Moon": Oooh-kay. This movie is coming out in afew weeks, I caught the commercial two days ago and four times since then and I'm ALREADY SICK OF HEARING ABOUT IT. Vampire vs Werewolf? OH GOD THAT'S AN AWESOME IDEA AND HASN'T BEEN DONE BEFORE!

21. Animal Rights Activists on YouTube: When I'm not seeing comments about how a kids show is racist, I'm seeing people scream "ANIMAL ABUSE" over the slightest animal video that's amusing. Apparently a cat walking a rail on a 5th story balcony is the same as Micheal Jackson dangling his new born child from a window. SHUT THE FUCK UP. It's stupid and you're over reacting about animals doing what they are very capable of doing without hurting themselves.
--------------------------------------------------

This is all I can think of at the moment, I sure there's something I tossed in the corner of my brain. If I uncover it I'll be sure to update this journal.

I agree with a number of the things you said, especally:

Sub vs Dub - Naruto has a rather good English dub (from what ltitle I've watched). Granted I do agree some dubs are poorly done, especally the kind that try to market a series at the wrong audiance (as a One Piece fan, I would flag the 4Kids dub as an example). However nine out of ten dubs are doing the job properly.

I also hate how fans assume the translation some subber or scanlater uses is 100% perfect. I'm sure it's accurate to a degree but I've heard some "fan translators" say every translator will translate a sentence a little differently.

Anime - Again, I agree. I enjoy a good fight but I hate the kind where nothing happens for episodes/chapters on end, or the attacks do minor damage and don't affect the end result. Get to the point so we can get back to the story.

Yaoi fangirls - I am SO sick of them. They pair up any man for their own fantasy and get angry if you question otherwise. I also feel Yaoi is ecchi/hentai for fangirls and get very angry when a yaoi fangirl goes into an mature/ecchi artists' gallery and brands them a perv. How is drawing two underaged boys or a man and an underage boy kissing each other ANY DIFFERENT?!

Pedestrians - God do I hate these. I hate the kind of pedestrians who, on a narrow road, DON'T walk in single file like the (British) law says they have to. I hate the pedestrians who just dash out in front of my car for the hell of it. Nearly knocked a girl over a week back because I was coming off a roundabout and she chose to cross at that EXACT moment... And then she had the cheek to throw me a "what the hell are you doing?!" glance.

Online gaming - I have to admit I've not played any fighting games online bar a few Brawl matches with friends. I know I'd get my ass handed to me as I don't play them 24/7 to learn all the complex combos. And thus I don't want twelve year olds bashing me for not being a master, or if I somehow manage to beat them with my limited skills.

Dude, yes on all accounts. *throws up the horns* Hell yes. I agree with this post.

Sub vs Dub - Yeah more then often the voices themselves are fine, it's just what they're saying that might be disagree-able.

Anime - the only long ass fights I've found awesome recently was in Jojo's Bizarre Adventure cause they're smart and tricky.

Yaoi Fangirls - They're mad because they've been mislead by all the mature content warnings to find out the person isn't drawing boys having sex so they call them names I guess.

Ped X - British eh? Are streets narrow there like they're depicted in films?

Online Gaming - I was under the impression that Brawl didn't have any communication features online.

Suv vs Dub - Exactly. I realise some things need to be changed due to the difference between what's acceptable in the West and Japan, and sometimes the dubbers take it to far. However, like you said, the voices are usually good and getting better.

Anime - My all time favourite fight is in Hunter x Hunter. It is litterly about three or four pages long - one character walks up to another, rips his opponent's heart out and crushes it. At the risk of sound like a fanboy, I like most One Piece fights becuase they're usually two or three chapters long, bar the final battle between Luffy and the main foe. Characters exchange meaningfull blows and usually unleash their "match ender" in the second or third chapter. Point is, they actually get on with it. They don't spend chapters saying how they've trained for 20 years to master their Super-Mega-Powerful-Full-Release-Demon-Rabbit-X25 form or some mega powerful technique that needs an equal number of chapters to charge up. Again I do realise I may be sounding a bit of a fanboy (and should stress I usually read the manga as opposed to watching the anime adaption).

Yaoi fangirls - :lmao:

Ped - Yep. The country lanes can be narrow but two cars can easily pass each other. Sadly where I live, there is on lane where people have a tendency to go to far over. I was in a cab once and a car comign in the opposite direction was too far over and cliped the cab's wing mirror. It hit the side of the cab and was badly smashed. I always make sure I'm as far over as possible whenever I do down that street.

Online Gaming - To be honest I've not really explored the online capabilities. I believe there is a "challange anyone" mode, but I'd rather fight friends than 12 year old newbies who spam some cheap move. Or just play the single player mode.

Obama: Yeah I know what you mean, every where I go You see Obama flyers and lawn thingies everywhere from people who cant even spell "Democrat" . This one place up the street from my job drew this big "Obama=Change" Icon on the brick wall... Too bad it rained two days later.

Everything else: Lmao.. Soo true!
:iconjecht-striker:
I can sympathize with quite a few things on that list, I assure you.
