Steve Jobs and the rest of Apple

Alright so this really pisses me off I own an ipod it was a gift, its engraved, its special, and it’s dead. I was using my ipod all day at work like I normally do playing solitaire in the corner when no one is watching because there is nothing else to do and I cant sit down in the office because then I get yelled at. So all day the ipod is fine I win a bunch of games of solitaire and even listen to music on the way home in my car. When I get home the battery is half full (yes I'm an optimistic) so I decide to charge it since tomorrow will be more solitaire and more music on the way home. So I plug it in and then itunes tells me that it can’t find my ipod so I should return it to the original settings, that’s fine I didn’t change any setting and there is nothing special on there any ways. Half way through the restoring process I get a message “sorry we can’t seem to restore this ipod” even though they have already erased what was left on there basically leaving me with a little glowing paper weight! So I try it again still nothing not even recognizing that it’s an ipod just that something was plugged it. So I go to the apple website enter my serial number and to my ‘surprise’ its no longer covered under warranty. Big shocker there! Now I know what happened when it was purchased for me I'm sure there was a warranty put on it for damages and repairs and what have you. And I would be willing to be that the end of that warranty was very recently, since I'm sure it was bought for my birthday and probably had a 1 year plan. So my warranty is up apple see that I have plugged my ipod in and that triggers a response and BAM my ipod that was working perfectly fine is no more, it has ceased to be, it has expired and gone to meet its maker, this is a late ipod, it’s a stiff, bereft of life, its rests in peace! This is an X ipod! So now my ipod sits on ym desk unplugged, power on frozen in the ‘connected’ screen.

This is what happened with any electronic you register and connect to the web they can track your warranty and the week after it’s up they send some sorta fucking shock wave thing into and fry it dead, think about it maybe you had a nice TV or gaming system that you bought extended warranty on and one day it died for what ever reason so you call them up to see what you can have done and oh my oh my the warranty ran out just last week, what a bummer! Well fuck this! FUCK apple and all their dumb products I have never liked them! And don’t you get all smartsy with me saying “well if you don’t like apple why do you have an ipod?? Hmmm?” it was a gift jerk ass. So to Steve Jobs and the rest of Apple and to any other fucking device that kicks the bucket right after its warranty is up and done with FUCK YOU! I’m onto your little schemes!

slander and bull shit lies

Okay so today is Election Day and there are people standing in the streets with their signs waving to every one and kids get out of school early so they can have the schools to use for the polls and what not. But honestly I could give two shakes of a lamb’s tail about it all. Republican, Democrat, Independent who cares! No matter who gets voted in they won’t do as good a job as any one really wants and people will still be complaining about something. And as far campaign ads are considered they are HORRIBLE! So one guy raised taxes and another guy touches little girls, and another guy is old. Who the hell cares; I want to know about what they say that are going to do not their personal bull shit. And personally I am not going to vote for Person A when he goes on about all the bad things about Person B that doesn’t make you look any better asshole, talk about all the good things your gunna do not the bad things the other dick head has done. No matter how you vote you can never accomplish everything you SAY you’re gunna do its fucking impossible, and at the end of your time in office it will all come out about how you didn’t live up to your promises and just make you look bad, so why run anyways? Most elections are rigged any ways by the use of drug money and ‘favors’ done for each other. And another thing lose the ties! I know you’re all stuck up pricks but if you for once just do a press conference in a sweat shirt and jeans I might have some respect for you as a person.

But for the people that DO VOTE thanks I'm glad you care enough about what goes on in your state/country/where ever to follow all this stuff and make a choice. But I just don’t have enough confidence in the system to believe its just that simple. Maybe some day when I have kids and own a house of my own and taxes and shit might mean something to me then maybe ill vote but for right now ill let every one else decide for me. Now I know this will be a big topic of discussion on here about how I'm throwing away my privileges of being an American but you know what its also my privilege of an American to do what I want and I choose not to vote. And yes I know that if I don’t vote I don’t get to complain but really I’m not complaining I just hate all the ads and bullshit tossing back and forth to give a shit. So to the election process and all the slander and bull shit lies that come with elections FUCK YOU! I don’t care take your buttons and signs some where else.

...nature helping nut cases (Choose your own adventure)

Alright so it is becoming that time of year when all the cute little baby animals start to show their furry little faces; and it’s also the time of year when all the people that see these furry faces think they need help. Well guess what people just because you see an animal outside on its own does not mean it needs help or its lost, or sick, or whatever! Guess what it’s the freaking outdoors and they live there! Even though it might be your back yard it’s still their home and you might just be seeing them for the first time but they have been there trust me. So today I am going to take you through some possible steps of what to do with ‘lost’ or ‘injured’ wildlife, think of it like a choose your own adventure book.
So first I’m going to set the scene for you… you are in your garden doing your yearly spring clean up removing weeds, and adding new plants and just generally sprucing up your yard and you come across some baby rabbits but the mother is nowhere to be found! So you decide to…

A. Capture all the babies and bring them into your house, because obviously the mother rabbit is a bitch and doesn’t care for her babies

B. Call a professional animal extraction company and have them come and take the rabbits, because they know what they are doing.

C. Leave them alone, maybe the mother will come back

CHOICE A
You decide to capture all of the babies put them in a shoe box with a towel and into your house for safe keeping. All of a sudden you realize that you have never cared for a rabbit or any baby animal but you’ve seen this on animal planet so it can’t be too hard. So for a little extra help you decide to look up on Google how to care for these little rascals. And yes you get a bottle and some milk and you feed all the little guys as if they were your own children. A few weeks pass and they have all grown up you have moved them to a bigger box or maybe even a cage with a nice water bottle and some hay and your proud of what you have done. YAY the bunnies are alive and it’s all because of you! Well guess what you have crippled those rabbits for the rest for their lives if you do decide to release them back into the wild you will be the cause of their demise. These rabbit no nothing about living out in the wild and because of this they will most like either die of starvation, get eaten by a predator or get hit by a car. How do you feel now! Try again.

CHOICE B
You decide to call a wildlife extraction company because you’re not a professional animal type person you can barely remember that burrito you put in the microwave let alone care for young animals. So you go to the yellow pages and call someone, whether it is a wildlife control company, your local animal control officer or a wildlife rehabilitator. So you talk to them and they don’t want the animals or won’t even come out to look. You are forced to choose another option, try again.
.

CHOICE C
You choose to leave the babies there on their own, maybe you have been in this situation before, or you are taking the advice of a professional you talked to earlier, or maybe your heartless and don’t care whether they live or die. Well no matter the reason you chose this option you are correct. Leaving the animals there is the best thing you can do, the mother will most likely come back you just scared her off while gardening. And now you get to watch these babies in your yard while they continue to grow, isn’t life great!

Ok so in all honesty I can’t fucking stand people that are so dumb that they think any animal that is out on its own needs help. Especially when these people don’t know what they are doing! Someone at work was telling me that they got a call about a lady who actually found rabbits in her garden and took them inside in a box and kept them in there for 2 days, with no food or anything! Even though the mother rabbit was out in the yard clearly looking for her little babies! And the lady didn’t want to put ht rabbits back because... well they were gardening. That was her reason; well I'm gardening so I can’t have these rabbits here. I don’t think she felt like she needed to protect them or anything she just didn’t want them in her yard or something ridiculous. That is fucking ridiculous; she most likely caused these rabbits to die because she was dumb! And I don’t know why people call me work all the time with stories or questions like these, WE DON’T DO REHAB! Call someone else! And don’t fucking come here with your damn pet turtles and say you found it in your yard because we know you didn’t, and guess what were not going to take it! And don’t just dump it on our lawn you dumb piece of shit, that animal will most likely die. If you don’t want your animal any more, put it on craigslist, or call a shelter, or rescue they might actually want it. So to everyone in the world who’s out trying to save every fucking little bird that fell out of its nest follow this easy motto; “if you care, leave it there” mother nature will follow its own course. So to all you nature helping nut cases, fuck off and leave it to those who know what they are doing, because you are killing things!

...shady value blind car thieves

Ok so on my way to the store this morning I open my car doors only to find some things that were on my seat that were not there before. It was at that point in time when I had a flash back to my old jeep Stella and when one morning getting ready to head to work I was getting into my car and noticed everything from my glove box was out on my seat it was at that point I had realized I had been robbed and Stella had been violated. And yes it was to that same effect just this morning when I found my crappy sports watch, deodorant, ice cream bar rapper, and my maps on my front seat. Some one had again gone through my glove box and center console of my car; it must be there calling card to leave shit on the seats or something. They apparently don’t know value when they see it, that watch must have been worth at lest $3, and it was Axe deodorant so that at least $5, I mean yah its used but it makes you smell nice! And maps every one needs maps, the burned copy of Disturbed 1000 fist that I took from a car in the junk yard(I don’t even have a CD player in my car but I have a CD) and the wire to connect an ipod to my stereo (again a stereo that I don’t even have in the car) all of this they left behind!! But most of all they left behind my sorrels with new laces and my tool box, both of these items could not only be valuable but very useful to have. Now you may be wondering how exactly they got into my car... do I now have a broken window? No. they got in because I can not lock my car doors any more because they are becoming a bitch to unlock. So yet again I am reminded by the shady car thieves of Brockton that all of my possessions are completely invaluable, at lest on the black market. So to all the shady value blind car thieves out there FUCK YOU didn’t you realize the first time that I have nothing but crap in my car!

And now I redirect you to yet another rewind episode from FFY history...
Jeep Rapers

trying to be young and rebellious drivers of mini vans

OK so the other day while drive down the highway on my way home from work, I spot something that quickly grabbed my attention. Was it a nice classic car perhaps? A cute girl broken down on the side of the road? Maybe a low flying plane coming in for a landing some where close? A large row of military vehicles? A patrol car waiting to pull me over for speeding? Now while all of these are great attention grabbers while driving I must say nay to them all. What I saw was a mini van. (I’ll let you ponder on this for a sec) your right it was no ordinary mini van, okay maybe it was because its hard to make mini vans anything but ordinary. But this one was trying hard to be something it was not…. this one had racing stripes!



Yes racing stripes as if to say “yes I might be a soccer mom/dad but hey I still got a bit of an edge to my life because I have a car with racing stripes!” okay so racing stripes belong only on cars that might actually see a race track, not just the parking lot… now looking at the picture I'm fairly positive that this is NOT a factory paint scheme, which means that this person went out of their way to make there car look like this. Good job you made your van look like a giant skunk yah that’s cool. Racing stripes don’t make you or your car any cooler and they should be reserved only for muscle cars. If you want a car that actually looks good with racing stripes get a Camaro stop trying to be something you’re not, you fucking still trying to be young and rebellious drivers of mini vans, take your sienna and go put a suction cup Heathcliff in the back window. Fuck You.

‘the times’ and the economy

So this one I'm sure that every one can relate to especially right now if not in the past or I'm sure in the future. So for those that haven’t talked to me in a bit I can tell you that I am struggling financially and things just keep coming up that need fixing or money thrown at it for some reason. And I don’t really blame any one in particular but I do blame ‘the times’ times are tough right now and its killing everything and every body, right now I am only working part time and I really need full time to meet my needs and get be back on my feet. Unfortunately I was denied a full time position in the place I already work because of numerous different reasons that I don’t really want to get into (none of them faults by me). Recently my car has also been out of commission due to a rusting out rotting rear axle that has left me immobile (an estimated cost of $1000 to repair) so my last paycheck, which was very small even for two weeks of work went to the new part. And then I had to wait two more weeks to get money to get my car actually into the shop for it to get fixed (total of 4+ weeks with out a personal vehicle) so now I hope I have enough money to get it fixed. Finally thinking I'm in the clear of problems my Xbox shits the bed and now I have to send that out for repairs, but this is not a necessity item but it does suck majorly because it’s not only my gaming system but also my DVD player, so no movies either…fuck!

So really I now that these things come up in life and its somewhat expected to have these type of bills but with all of them happening at once it sucks balls, I have had $21 in my bank account for the last 2 months, all of my checks I have had to cash in order to get parts for my car or gas money or what have you. I can barely pay my school loans or car insurance; actually I'm pretty sure I can NOT pay them this month. And for this I don’t really blame any one but ‘the times’. I know that I'm not the only person in the world who is having issues right now but the economy sucks and that’s how its going to be for a while I'm sure, now I know that my problems could have been fixed if I had just gotten that full time position, but hey life’s a bitch a you have to play the hand your dealt. So to this I say FUCK YOU to ‘the times’ and the economy its time to straighten this shit out, and I don’t usually go political with things but where is that ‘change’ that we all voted for???
