Mildly Upset Rant: Country Music

I was listening to the radio. I already hate the radio but that's mostly the pop music station. I hate it because it plays trash music on repeat. Its like the station executives have some sort of vendetta to destroy the musical sense of every human who so happens to turn on the radio. 

But, anyways to the reason why I am writing on this stupid blog. I was listening to the local country station when I heard this song "Loving You Easy" by Zac Brown Band and I gotta say what the fuck happened to country music.

Like here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D05NewQpqxg listen to this shit. Its not even country. I remember when country was steel guitars and really sad plot lines. Now its all this crap about simply getting drunk and having sex. I mean I dig that whole mantra, but its not true to the original country. I want my George Strait back.

I do get it, music evolves, but country has remained the same since the 20s. Now all of the sudden there's this dynamic change not only in the content but also in the sound. The song I regrettably listened to on the radio sounded nothing like country. In fact it sounded like 70s disco or funk dubbed over with a guy who had a fake twang in his wretched voice. Like what the flying shitballing fuck is that? 

With that I'd like to announce a public fuck you to Y100 for ruining a perfectly good day at my pool. 

Non Sequitur on Reincarnation

I really dig the idea behind reincarnation. In theory reincarnation is nature's reward system. If you do good to those around you and have a positive karma , you reincarnate as something good. I feel this is much better than the reward of heaven given by the Christian church. Paradise is finite right? Eventually living a perfect world will become insane. You know the whole "doing the same thing over and over" deal. Personally I'd prefer the Hindu approach to death. You die and become something else.Getting to experience living several different lives seems like a perfect way to live. I could see what it is like to live as a turtle or as a football player. Unfortunately the memory of previous lives doesn't continue into the next life. Which is dumb and ultimately is why I am not Hindu. That and I couldn't eat cow.
Eventually the reincarnation cycle ends. Getting to the end is an extremely long process though. But, when full transcendence or whatever is achieved you simply die and your soul gets absorbed into one mega conglomerate of souls. That sounds pretty cool if you ask me. Think about it there could be a giant space creature out in deep space that holds the souls of every human being that has reached the end of the cycle. It'd be like that one episode of Futurama where Bender finds God.

Angry Rant #2: NBC is fucked

I'm tired of this blame game that people are trying to pull in the US right now. Its all bullshit. We are all trying to blame one nation of people for all of our problems. Yesterday I read an article by NBC that said that "White Americans are the biggest Terror Threat in the US".
Well shit that's an intense title. As soon as I read that title I looked at my skin and I immediately said, "Shit!! I'm white. I must be a terror threat."
I know that NBC didn't mean to immediately generalize the entire white populace of America. Their intentions to do good and take advantage of an overlooked atrocity of the South was completely skewed by their presentation. NBC was trying to shed light on the "terror" attacks committed by white racial radicals. Instead they created a monster of propaganda that is attacking white people. But, its okay right?
We always need someone to blame. In 2002 it was the Muslims. In 1965 it was the Russians. In 1950 it was the African Americans. Society always needs a scapegoat to shit on.Somebody has to be the cause for all that terrible problems of society. I honestly think we all need to own up to the problems as a whole. Let's not say its the Jews' fault or its the Muslims' fault. I wager if we need to blame anything we must blame the human race as an entirety. The only thing that blaming a certain group of people does is divide and segregate us and holy crap guys we can't have that happen.
So fight the bullshit. I guess.

Rudy's The Worst Barbecue in Texas

Rudy's is a small out door barbecue outfit that exists on the side of the freeway. It resembles an old style gas station and country store decorated in old red painted wood. Most Texans know of Rudy's. And if you were to ask the average Texan if they knew about Rudy's they would probably respond, "Shoooot! Rudy's that's some damn fine barbecue son. Make sure you get their brisket."
Now if one wishes to get food here they must endure a very unusual serving process. When you walk over to the counter to ask for your meet you will be greeted by the smell of cooking meat. This smell will be also accompanied by a sweltering heat and a smiling face. after selecting a specific animal that you wish to have carved up and cooked, one of the workers will walk over to a ginormous pit and retrieve a huge slab of meat.From there they will proceed to slice that meat into edible sizes. Next, the meat will be placed onto a sheet of butcher paper (fitting amIright) and slapped onto a plastic tray.
The whole process of getting your food is iconic enough where i decided to mention it. But, to the food itself. I've had just about every type of meat produced by this place and i'd have to say my favorite is not the all star brisket that get so much mainsteam hype. It is the turkey. I know you must be thinking turkey and barbecue. What the hell? I assure you that it is actually worth getting. I want you to think of the times during thanks giving when you received your plate full of this dismal soggy turkey. I want you now to take that memory and forever repress it because this turkey at Rudy's barbecue is some of the finest damn turkey I have ever eaten. It is covered in a dry rub that has enough spices to wake up Rumpelstiltskin. The first bite is like that of having the Vietnam christmas day bombing take palace within your mouth. It is absolutely the best. It screams freedom and american pride. If I could replace every single shitty turkey from my childhood with this turkey I would. I'm pretty sure if that happened I would have had a much happier childhood.
All in all Rudy's is amazing not only for its bodacious food, but also its eclectic, rustic vibe that brings forth the true face of Texas culture.

Egotism

The human ego is uncanny. I honestly don't understand it. Why do we even have egos if we know that our seeming sense of importance is all bullshit? I'm talking about people with very large egos. To some extent everyone has some sort of ego. But, I'm talking about the egos that make one stare at oneself in windows of shops just to see how amazing you look.  I mean I have a huge ego so don't think that I am excluding myself from this philosophical blog post.
So, most people would agree that a huge ego is terrible. I would agree and also disagree.
A big ego causes problems. The most obvious problem is the issue of the focus solely on oneself. It takes a lot for me to notice and consider the feelings of others. And even when I do realize that my actions may be affecting someone's feelings it usually takes a lot more for me to care. That's just the obvious. A less obvious feature of big egos is the inability to take criticism. For instance if someone were to tell me that my hair looked lame I'd honestly feel like shit for at least a day or two. Most people with big egos share that same kinda vulnerability.
Beside the negatives,massive egos actually have some benefits. The biggest one is inability to care about others feeling. Yes this was already mentioned as a negative, but it also serves as a positive. In the business world one will have to screw people over to get to the top. And with an ego that really isn't a problem. People with large egos tend to also have a fantastic self esteem. Obvious kind of. But, back to the business world, self confidence goes a long way. It'll help get you a job. It'll help you get a raise. etc.
Large egos are a blessing and a curse to those who have them. Its kind of like ADHD. You're creative but scatterbrained. blessed and cursed. I guess that's how it is. You can't always get what you want.

Shit man I love cats

I love cats. I fucking love cats. there is something alluring about them. I think its their independence. Its the vibe that they don't give a fuck about anything but food and can openers. Cats are probably my favorite of the domestic animals that we refer to as pets. I feel that cats reflect the human condition more than that of dogs or birds or fucking lizards. You see a dog will always be loyal to whomever it sees as its said owner. Now, cats don't care about loyalty. With them its all about who shows them the most attention and gives them food. I see humans as kind of the same way. We strive to be around those who give us the most attention. When the attention shifts to something else we move on and find someone new. Humans are also motivated by a reward system. Like for instance why do politicians and judges take bribes even though they should be loyal to the government?  They do it because they get better rewards.
In the grand scheme of it people and cats are kinda shitty. I honestly like the whole idea behind dogs. I wish dogs reflected human society. Shit would straight up be much simpler. But, alas the world is a cesspool of absolute and complete bullshit. Ce la vie.

Angry Rant #1: My Job

I love my job. I mean lifeguarding sounds stressful, but in reality its not. Basically what you do is sit on a chair and watch people while getting an radical tan. How many jobs let you just watch people and sit in the sun? I also get paid pretty well, which of course is a hell of a plus. 

Now, I have worked at this pool for like 4 years and everything has gone smoothly. This year though my boss is killing me. Essentially after working 4 years at this pool one is guaranteed a job as pool manager. Apparently the guarantee didnt pass on to me. This means that I am not going to be the manager and I am stuck as a regular guard. This may not seem to terrible but let me assure you it sucks harder than a pornstar. The biggest issue is the pay. Currently I get paid nine an hour (not bad). The problem with this is that last year I was getting paid 9.50 an hour. Even if I wasn't manager this year I'd be getting paid ten an hour. But anyways my boss is essentially not cool at all and I wanna quit my job. 

I hear that selling cocaine makes a ton of money. Might do that.

Prologue

This is the first blog of my life. I am extremely excited, I am enthralled about this little venture. I see this blog as a way for me to expose and regurgitate my feelings about this wretched place known as Earth. Hopefully it won't be all rants and me complaining about the Jenners. I might throw in a couple of off the cuff short stories and or poems. I'm a writer. I can do whatever the hell I want to. I think that's how it goes.
