Grinds my gears

(Disclaimer: this is actually a serious topic, so you won't find my usual shenanigans in this blog). 

You know what grinds my gears? People who record and upload certain videos to world star, YouTube, and other sites. The videos I am thinking of specifically are those of people getting jumped or beat up. I personally think you have a certain amount of balls (or lack thereof) to just sit there and record it happening. 

What happened to the good ol days of either helping or just walking away because you were afraid of getting hurt yourself? I feel like sitting there and watching it happen and recording it is a thousand times worse than walking away and acting like you didn't see anything. So now people just sit there recording while 5 girls beat up 1 girl and they don't stop to intervene. I feel like as a society some of us have been stripped of common sense and/or our humanity (I'm trying to find the correct word but whatevs). I feel like you almost have to have no empathy to just sit there and record something without trying to break it up or at least say "that's enough!". This is a sad world we are living in. About a month ago, some old guy almost got into a fight with a group of guido muscle-heads outside Horus on A. I won't go into details, but the old guy ended up pushing one guy and then a bunch of them started pushing the old guy. When i saw this, almost instinctively,  I was like "yo chill!". My friend Marc told me "don't get involved, it's not your problem". Luckily nothing happened, but I think Me and Marc's responses were acceptable. What wouldn't have been acceptable was us standing there and recording a potential volatile situation.

I guess I'm just wondering what this world has come to when we can watch our fellow man get destroyed and just sit there and record it. And for those who like to watch these videos, what do you get out of it? By watching it, you are just contributing to the problem. So in summation, I feel you should either try to stop it or leave. Or, of you are going to record it and not say shit, then forward it to the authorities before you upload it to world star. The cops are already gonna use that as evidence so might as well give them a head start! So think to yourself, what would I do? Help, record, or walk away? 

Grinds my gears- I hate you all!!!

Hello friends! It is once again time for good idea, bad idea! Good idea...YOU FUCKING GRIND MY GEARS ASSHOLES! I'm going to get straight to the point! Here we go!!!

First thing that grinds my gears... You "fashion gurus"! You people make me sick! And I'm not talking about everyone, I am talking about the dudes. The dudes who claim to be gangsta's, but they wear tighter clothes than your fat mom in spandex! It's one thing to be into fashion, but you can't be a thug, and wear tight ass jeans, with a neon orange shirt, and a rainbow colored scarf! First, where is your gun going to go, and two you look like a fruitcake! Am I hating? Maybe, but I don't give a shit! Be a man, wear fitted clothes, and tone down the fucking rainbow! I'm into the classics, fitted jeans, button ups, suits, you know, things real men wear!

The second thing that grinds my gears... You assholes you post lyrics or quotes on fb/twitter and act like its your own! I'm not speaking of those who post quotes once in a while, I'm talking about you jerkwads that don't post anything other than quotes or lyrics. We can all tell that you aren't interesting or have anything to say, because all of your posts are other peoples words! Shit, I'm not saying you have to actually make your own quote, but shit, at least post this as your status, "I pooped my pants". So what I'm saying is, get the fuck off facebook/twitter if you don't have anything to say!

Last thing that grinds my gears, panhandlers on the subway! Now don't get me wrong, because I have lived in NYC for so long that panhandling actually doesn't bother me at all! What bothers me is the lack of creativity nowadays! "spare some change please!","I lost my family in a fire, I need money!", "I lost my leg in war!" Shit! I have been hearing this shit for years! Panhandlers, if you are reading this, here are some ideas. 

1. Hold the subway car hostage with your funk! "Hello everyone, I realize I smell like shit and I won't leave the subway car until 60% of this car gives me change or food! If you move to the next car, I will follow you there!"

2. Dress up as a priest/brother, and state that you are collecting money for the children. Tell the passengers that if you don't receive something from at least 40% of them, you will ensure that their local priest will personally mentor their child!

3. Pull out a supersoaker and demand the money from everyone, and act like you have a real gun! Threaten someone! Smack a bitch! This will get you your money!

4. Singing and dancing is overdone. How about you perform a monologue from your favorite movie? Grab another bum and act out a scene! I probably still wouldn't pay you, but I'd be entertained!

Btw, this maybe my last post because the Apocalypse is on Saturday. So goodbye world! NOT!

USA! Love it or leave it!

Ding Dong the Dick is dead!! Finally, after almost ten years, they caught the son of a bitch that killed so many of our people. They not only caught him, but they put a bullet right in his skull which that sob deserved! USA! USA! USA! Does this solve the terrorist problem? Probably not, but at least it shows the world, that if you fuck with us, then we will hunt you down! It doesn't matter if it's 1 year, 10 years, or 30 years from when you fuck with us, we will catch you!

Now I wasn't directly affected by 9/11, meaning that I did not lose any family or friends, but what happened that day was horrible. Such a massive amount of life was lost within minutes. Some people say they are disgusted or ashamed that we are celebrating the death of a man, but believe me it is justified. Every minute that man lived, the more these extremists would think they could attack us and get away with it. Not killing Bin Laden for so long made the world view us as weaklings. Attacked on our own soil and not being able to capture or kill the culprit. I just think it is so easy for people to forget that so many people died in 2001. I want you to think back to that dreadful day, and think about how you felt, the fear, the uncertainty. I was a senior in high school back then, and when they released us early, there were no trains in service, no cross borough buses. Me and probably hundreds of other students had to cross the bridge from the bronx to manhattan, and from that bridge, you can see the billow of smoke. When I got home, I saw the live news, the people jumping from the buildings, the injured, the people looking for loved ones. But aside from the despair, I saw a glimmer of hope. Strangers who would never speak to each other, helping each other, volunteering at Ground Zero, we were united. And finally after so long, the man responsible is dead. Maybe now those who died on 9/11(and in the war) can rest in peace. Now that I'm done with the emotional stuff, on to those people that grind my gears.

The conspiracy theorist. Those who say Osama Bin Laden is not dead. I am just going to say one thing about this. What is stopping him from releasing a video saying that he is not dead? I just poked a hole in your logic. Now some would say that he was captured by the US and not killed. What would the US gain from hiding that? I would personally love to see that son of a bitch tried in court and hung and I'm sure most Americans would. Now I am not going to say that our government doesn't hide things from us, but I firmly believe that they killed Osama. Why can't you? Again, what is there to gain?

Then there are those that state that we shouldn't believe everything we read and see in the media. That we should look beyond the media. Yet their source for conspiracy theories are documentaries and the internet...another form of media. Do you people listen to yourselves? THE ILLUMINATI IS TAKING OVER! BUSH CAUSED 9/11! OBAMA WAS BORN IN CHINA! WOOKIES ACTUALLY EXIST! You are the people that believe every piece of misinformation you read on the internet, or that a rapper spits on a line. You idiots must realize that conspiracy sells! The more idiots that believe, the more that will buy idiot books. You are the cash cow fools! Now I was going to argue against the 9/11 conspiracy theorists, but I am not going to waste my time. There is a link to a website that debunks your most popular myths below. And one more thing before I go, if you truly believe this BS, then leave America, we do not need you, and you obviously do not believe in our government or our way of life. Go to Canada or some other country, we do not want you!

GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Random Thoughts

Well its been a while since I have written anything on here. I have been living an insidiously busy life since my vacation in September. I also had no inspiration for the last 6 months. shit I still don't, but procrastinating does not help writers block! So I'm here just typing away. So I will try to break my block by writing some things about myself. I love to laugh and have fun. And having fun can be something as simple as play fighting and slapping the chicken wing submission move on my friend Randy with everyone watching as he squirms. That was fun. I love diss contests even though I am pretty horrible at it. I love pretty much anything with laughter. Laughter makes me feel so much better and relieves stress. Hearing my nephews/nieces crack the fuck up always makes my day and if I'm the reason behind the laughter, I try to make them pee their pants. I mean why not?

You know what grinds my gears? Kids who decide that they can be the next youtube stars with their classroom singing videos. No one gives a shit that you and your classmates made a song about anti-bullying and posted it on youtube and I am tired of the media trying to force it down our throats. As a friend of mine said, bullying has been around for ages, it isn't new! You want to impress me with a youtube video? Nerds and geeks unite and record yourselves beating the shit out of these bully's. It is honestly the only way to stop bullies! FIGHT BACK like Zangief kid! Here are a few good anti bullying ideas. 1. Home school. 2. take up karate lessons or find your very own Mr. Miyagi. I mean, I am pretty sure your superintendent knows a martial art right? 3. Carry Mace or a taser. I think a taser would be better for youtube. "don't tase me dude!".  4. When you are about to battle a bully, bring out your pokeball and yell "Charizard, I choose you!' The bully will shit his pants, or bring out his own pokeball! (if this is the case why are you getting bullied by him)

I am watching Avatar on HBO, its funny, these blue people had their forest pillaged and its on fire. Am I supposed to care? Don't they realize that battling the humans is a no-win situation? They may have won that battle, but we are coming back at them with the force of ZEUS on the fucking day of reckoning.

Well that is all I have in my tank of random thoughts!

Everybody want to be a nigga but nobody wants to be a nigga!

Hello plebeians! Sorry that I've been gone so long. Hectic days in the sweltering heat of summer. I was busier than al quaida planning their next douchebag terrorist attack. So on sept 1st I was headed to cabo san Lucas, Mexico. A place to have fun in the sun and hopefully get some buns! I had a great trip, but I noticed that all my friend wanted to do during the day was tan! Tan! Tan! Tan!

I had an epiphany while on vacation. Everytime I've gone to the beach or on vacation with chicks, all they ever want to do is lay down and let the sun cook them! What the fuck is up with everyone wanting to be tan nowadays!? Maybe the reason I don't understand is cause I'm dark skinned.

All I know is that if you're at a sunny destination for a week, you don't need to lay out to tan. You will tan naturally even if all u did was walk or go horseback riding. There is this infatuation with becoming darker that I can't understand! Why!? It's true what Paul mooney said,"everybody want be a nigga, but ain't nobody want be a nigga!". I think that perfectly sums it up.

Here's a question, how come everyone gets all upset when a dark person makes their skin lighter (see: Michael Jackson, Sammy Sosa), but no one cares when white people start looking darker than Wesley snipes!? Or even care when they look like a motherfucking bottle of sunkist!? All I'm saying is a. Take it easy with the tanning people! And B. Don't get mad at mj and Sammy sosa for reverse tanning! Ok I'm done ranting.

Oh, and the 2010 tanning awards go to.

1st place: Marlene Almonte-she literally lays on the bitch all day during a beach trip. She only comes up for liquor.
2nd place: Christie Mammana- came very close to first place, but she helped herself by choosing to take a dip in the pool every once in a while.
3rd place: Mallory Almonte- tans with the best of them, but consistently gets up when need be to get a drink, act a fool, and take a knee deep dip in the beach.

That is all!

Miele My Gears!

Its been more than a month since my last blog! But I'm back! And I will make up for lost time! More blogs coming soon!

You know what grinds my gears? When you are on a website and you get one of those pop up ads! And not the regular ones that open up a new window, I'm talking about those annoying animated ones with video and sound. It's freaking disturbing. What kills me is that they make the close button so hard to find! This ad does not make me want to buy gastrol gtx! It makes me want to throw Molotov cocktails at the gastrol factory! I'm just saying that we need to put a stop to these pop up ads! They seem to get more annoying and elaborate as computers get more advanced!

You know what else grinds my gears?


The slew of movies in 3DDDDD! I understand that Avatar and Alice in Wonderland were box office hits, but c'mon son! Do we really need Step Up 3D? Do I really need to see the last airbender in 3d!? Hell no! Some people in Hollywood don't understand that we are smarter than that! People went to see avatar 3d because the hype said it would change the landscape of 3d films, and it did. It was a movie shot in 3D with 3D cameras. It was a beautiful movie. But now some people in Hollywood want to ride the coat tails! Shit pisses me off! Don't make a movie that was filmed with regular cameras into 3D! We know you are trying to jack our money that we worked hard for! So please my people, do not go see movies in 3D! We can not feed into this 3D shit! There is 1 movie you should watch that was meant to be in 3D and it was before avatar. Watch My Bloody Valentine 3D, it's a pretty good homage to B horror movies! Rent it!

Oh, here is some good music and a hot video to go with it!

Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill: Who's fault is it anyway!?

Take a look at these pictures...

"the worst rig explosion in history"
" the worst environmental disaster"
 These are the headlines on the news. These headlines are definitely true. These pictures show the nature of this disaster. Who is to blame? Some people say it is the Bush administrations fault because they drafted industry friendly regulations. Others say that Obama didn't do everything he could have and that this is his Katrina, and he's failing. And there is the group that says that it is the greedy oil companies fault (BP). They say this is the last straw! Know what I think? All of the above are correct and wrong at the same time!

You want to blame someone? Look in the mirror America! WE THE PEOPLE are dependent on oil! To drive our cars (fancy or not), to heat our homes, and to fuel our planes for our exotic get-away vacations! Shame on us to point the finger at everyone but ourselves! Without the demand, half of these companies wouldn't be drilling for oil, either offshore in America or overseas! It's not that these oil companies are greedy, it's that there is a demand for something, and there are things they have to do to provide it to the American people. Other than invading another country for their oil, there is only really one way to stop drilling period. We need to stop using oil. Outrageous? Maybe, but if you are truly devastated and appalled by whats going on in the Gulf of Mexico, then that's what WE THE PEOPLE must do! We need to help support research on alternate sources of energy and do what we must to have the government and the world notice that we are not totally selfish! So stop pointing the fingers at just BP, Bush, Obama....all of us are responsible and as intelligent beings, we need to stop for a minute and try to think of another way. I don't care what regulations were set, a disaster was bound to happen! Hopefully we can learn from this.

I have never claimed to be knowledgeable about politics or the environment, but I think this is so easy to see, and I can't believe that no one has mentioned this. Are we truly this blind?
Now fuck off! I need to turn on my AC and use all the power in my apartment!
