The Moron: A Case Study
I know this idiot. He's your standard one: clueless of his idiocy, flagrant in moronic actions, and totally content with annoying the living hell out of everyone around him.
Yet, for some reason, this idiot has really gotten to me. He didn't target me directly, I just believe that his stupidity has such an extensive span that I got caught in the wake.
His existence and poor grammar alone make my blood boil. It makes me want to punch a small infant. Now THAT is a truly new level imbecile.
This is the kind of guy who listens to Top 40 radio and calls it "real music." The kind of guy who lists "girls" as one of his interests on any given social networking site. The kind of guy who thinks Epic Movie has cinematic value. The kind of guy who I want to punch in the face. The kind of guy who shouldn't be allowed to contact the masses in any way.
Fuck. That. Guy.
What creates this sort of person? Is their childhood so mediocre that it doesn't even allow them to create interests or passions that they may have in this life? It's like this person doesn't have parents; he was just born from the middle-class as a single entity. Boring and average. Nothing to offer. So, instead his rampant stupidity touches the lives of so many people. Perhaps that is his purpose: to give others an idea of what they could become if they let their brain sit stagnant for long enough.
Either way, I really, truly don't like this person.
I sure hope, if he reads this, it will inspire him to change.
Then again, I don't know if he knows how to use the internet. Or read.

The News Makes Me LOLZ!
I've stopped reading almost all news. You hand me a paper, I will take out the Sports and the Comics because that's all that is worth reading. I'm tired of headlines like this:
"The Economy is DYING!"
"Rabble Rabble Obama Rabble McCain Rabble Close Race!"
"Britney Spears Sucks, Let's Watch!"
"Global Warming Rabble Rabble!"
"Go Kill Yourself, the World is No Longer Worth Living In!"
"FUCKING SHIT WE'RE ALL SCREWED!"
I know, I know: "But Andrew, you're supposed to stay INFORMED!"
There is a difference between being informed and being a voluntary victim to scare tactics brought on by the media. I'm not saying Global Warming isn't real or that the economy isn't in bad shape; I understand that all of that is important. But, if someone is going to sit there and tell me all sorts of dire things without even an INKLING of a solution, I get tired of it.
Please, media, tell me again about how my children's children are going to burst into flames when stepping outside, unless we are willing to do something about the environment. I love that story...one hundred times in a row. Oh, oh! How about the one where our economy is being compared to the GREAT DEPRESSION? I especially love the part where people forget to actually look at statistics from the 1930's. You can't even compare today's economy to the 1982-83 economy. It's all thanks to people looking at prices of gasoline and food and assuming "Shit! Economy's bad!" and packing up and closing in.
Look at the trends, please. It's really not all that bad.
On the subject of the '08 election: fuck it. It's all become so repetitive, I can't tell if it was something written two years ago or two hours ago. Regardless, I wish people would stop acting so dire about it.
"If Obama wins, I don't know what I'll do."
"If McCain wins, I'll move to Canada."
"If either candidate wins, I'll kill myself."
I understand that people may be worried about their candidate of choice losing the election, but guess what? Life. Goes. On. No president is going to make the decision that all members of the opposing political party are to be executed shortly after their inauguration. That said, it shouldn't be a complete disaster if the other guy wins.
Thank God for The Onion. Otherwise, I'd have no credible news source.

New Hobbies and My Birthday
In the lieu of the extra free time I've had lately, I've picked up playing the guitar. It's been interesting so far and, thanks to my roommate and friend, I've learned three chords. Of course, the fingertips on my left hand hurt like hell, but it's all for fun. I tried to learn a few years ago, but I quit after about a week. I really want to stick with it this time.
I went home yesterday and found my crappy Esteban guitar from that time. I brought it back to my apartment, restrung it, and after playing it in front of two different guitarists, I discovered that it is as crappy as I thought. Oh well, I'm not looking for quality while I'm learning the basics. I'll be a guitaring fiend in no time.
My birthday is this Thursday. I'll be 20 years old. It's so weird. Talk about a limbo age. 20 is really just the year before 21, not much else. I guess that's what I'll do with it...just wait until I'm 21.
Anyway, I hope that everyone's summer is going well. Let me know what you are all up to, assuming anyone reads this.
Also, fuck music snobs.

I've Made Some Changes
The blog has been changed. It's easier to read a darker screen. I'm not sure if I like it or not. We'll see as the workday progresses.

Oh, The Job Market
I've been looking for a summer job for almost a month now and I have nothing. Absolutely nothing. I went into a certain office supply store about two weeks ago and they said they were hiring. After calling back everyday for about a week, I was granted an interview. It went well and I was told I'd be called two days later. After not receiving a call, I called back and they told me that they would like me to come in for a second interview, this time with the General Manager. This was supposed to occur yesterday.
10 A.M. Yesterday
I get a call from an unrecognizable number. After letting it go to voice mail, my phone buzzes its "you have a voice mail" tone. I listen in and realize that I should have answered. It is the manager who has made me call him back for everything else but this: they canceled the interview. Thanks to "budgetary issues" they are in a hiring freeze. Fuck. That. Shit.
So, I'm back at square one. I have just witnessed, first-hand, the tragedy of putting all your eggs in one basket. I feel like a fool.
Yesterday became the same old shit. Drive around, fill out applications, find out the employer's not hiring at this time. I wish someone would pay me to drive around and apply for jobs.
Ugh, enough being angsty, Andrew. I've now got to start pushing really hard at every employer I meet. I want them to cut through the bullshit and just tell me straight-up. None of this:
"Are you hiring?"
"We are accepting applications at this time."
Just tell me if I can get a job or not. I went to CD Warehouse yesterday, and asked the manager if they were hiring. He said "We are fully staffed at this time." I almost shook his hand. Thank you for not wasting my time, or yours. That guy, ruled.
If anyone would like to help me get a job, that'd be awesome.

Zeitgeist
I know it's important to stay informed and not to discriminate against things that oppose my views, but the first 15 minutes of Zeitgeist make it barely worth watching. There's no need for all the ambient music and ridiculously trippy visuals. Anyway, I'm going to watch the rest now. I just thought I'd put in my two cents.
Who am I kidding? This is my blog, I'll do what the fuck I want with it! Internet rebelzorz!!!!11!1!!
