inglourious basterdsHoly Shit! Just saw Inglorious Basterds and can say that I truly loved the movie.  It isn’t exactly as it is marketed which makes it so much better in my book. It was sufficently dark and comedic and just an all around bad ass movie.

Lt. Aldo Raine: Donny!
Sgt. Donny Donowitz: [from offscreen] Yeah?
Lt. Aldo Raine: Got us a German here wants to die for country. Oblige him.

First!

white-flour1So, I spend a lot of time reading on the internet. Whether its blogs or just news stories or just anything that I might find relatively interesting, I will probably read it. This is my me time. I enjoy this.

The thing that makes me want to burn the entire internet down at this moment is “firsters”. (No, you perve I didn’t say fisters)

Firster. first.er [first-er] -noun  1. Those fuckers that go to websites, blogs, etc and write “FIRST!” as their only reply just to annoy the fuck out of me.

No seriously that is the definition.

I cannot stand a firster. What is the fucking point? You want people that you will never meet to automatically know that you are a fuck stick douche clown? Goddamn it! You just need to rest the barrel of a shotgun against your molars and pull the fucking trigger. Do us all a favor. Enough for today, I can feel my blood pressure rising.

Circuit F*@#!ng City

logoA living breathing dinosaur.  What has happened to Circuit City. I have spent the last five years of my life wasting away at a company that doesn’t even have the good sense to pull it’s head out of the water when it is drowning.  Oh well, I guess those fat cats at the corporate office know so much more than me. I have only spent most of my waking hours for the last five years living in the once prosperous land formally known as CC.

Anybody that has worked at CC in the past will know if they visit one of these stores that the entire world has changed in such a very short time. We recently recieved a video message from our new leader, a vampire with no facial expression, Jim Marcum  (seriously, I think this guy is a vampire -  no, seriously)  He’s telling us that the problem with the company is  that nobody is buying from us because we aren’t trying to sell shit hard enough (paraphrasing).  The whole jest of the video is that CC still has 30,000 associates that are “incredibly committed and passionate about the survival of the company . . . Our Company”.  Really? Do you think the high school flunkies are just as concerned with their jobs as the guy who has been with the company for 10 years. BULL SHIT! Here-in lies the problem.  The average starting wage at CC is now $6.65/hr.  This is minimum wage.  No shit.  So I do a little reconnaissance at the local Wal-Mart. You know you love them.  They start out the lowest paid associates (cart pushers) at $8/hr. WTMF? (What The Mother Fuck for you newbs)

This is the fundamental problem with CC. Nobody cares anymore. I shouldn’t say that. I care because my family relies on the wage I make at CC to survive. Almost nobody cares. Everything started going to shit when they fired the “overpaid” employees simply for making too much money. Now they pay high school and college kids $6.65/hr and they couldn’t give two shits if the company they work for opens the goddamn doors next week. They could make more money pushing a fucking cart at Wal-Mart.
