In The Air Tonight.

So here I sit, on the most uncomfortable couch in the fucking world, trying to think of things to put on this page. I'm tired, beyond hungry, and forgot EVERYTHING I had wanted to put here.

So here's what I've got.


1.T-Mobile. FUCK YOU. I understand it was 99% microsoft's fault (and fuck, what isn't these days?) that my sidekick has been fucked up, but the fact of how little compensation you have offered in return for my headache ridden yet continued loyal service is insulting to say the least.

2.I do not consider golf a sport. Is it easy to do? No. But I fail to see how it is a sport. There are no other players physically stopping you from getting the ball in the hole, and hell, you could walk down to the green and drop the ball right in if you felt like it! Someone just created a "sport" for the sake of doing something the fucking hard way.
This subject is not open for debate.

3.Religion. I'm only touching this briefly and wearing bio-hazard gloves, because it is always a testy fucking subject. I REFUSE to talk about religion anymore. It is pointless, and always ends with me thinking "why the fuck do I bother?". I don't try to argue with people over it, hell i used to love to talk about it, but now the joy in even tickling the idea of talking about it is ruined. People are such closed minded buffoons, that life and see life with the blinders on, to the point where if you even QUESTION the possibility of a deity, you're and idiot and should be shot. Are all faithy (yep I just invented a word) like that? Absolutely not!!! I am not trying to lump everyone into one barrel here, but the majority is, and as it goes, the majority has ruined it for me and others. Sorry.

4.Bananas. Is it just me or do they seem to compliment almost every other food?! Peanut butter? AWESOME. Peanut butter and bananas? HOLY SHIT, FOODGASM. Chocolate? Great (unless you're allergic)!! Chocolate and bananas? BANANASPLOSION!!! See what I'm getting at here? I mean short of meats and cheeses, there are very few things bananas do not seem to make awesome.

5.People, for the love of (insert deity here), stop bringing your cars to mechanics. Including me. Why? Because you're just going to tell us we are fucking wrong, or that it's impossible, or that it is too expensive. Sorry to break this to you folks so late in the game but, and listen real fucking close....MOST (not all mind you) OF THE TIME, ITS YOUR OWN STUPIDITY AND LACK OF MAINTENANCE THAT BROKE THE FUCKING CAR. Funny thing, how not changing your oil for 30,000 miles can cause an engine to fucking fail due to lack of proper lubrication, isn't it? Yes, then you bring your car to the dealer, and expect it for free, and then blow your top when it isn't covered under warranty due to abuse. Well of course its our fault you're fucking ignorant, how rude of us not realize that. My humblest apologies.

6. Fat People. Just real quick, stop bitching that your seats break, or your car pulls to the left, or the seat squeaks when you sit down. Guess what? Its your 300lb ass (literally lol) that is causing it to happen. Yes there are people large enough out there to cause a car to pull to the left while driving, I swear on my life I've seen it.

7. Hip hop artists. GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER. Your music is getting worse and more unoriginal every year. Seriously. The auto-tune phase was cute, but get over it and get back to basics, like oh I don't know.....decent lyric writing? There's so much bullshit going on these days and all you can seem to continually write about is (in no specific order) women, cars, and money? Please. Lock yourself in a room, and listen to NWA and Public Enemy, and don't come out until you have something legit to say.

8. The music industry. Fuck you, you are continually ruining all the music I love by cloning it if it is even remotely successfull.

9. Kanye West and JayZ. SIT DOWN AND SHUT THE FUCK UP. Hova, your new music is barely about mediocre, even by today's low as dogshit standards. Kanye, stop. Just...stop.

10. Even numbers. I'm very OCD about them, which is why this post is ending on number 10, and why I'm getting married on 11/2/09. 11+2+9= 22. Yeah, I suck with math, but I have an even number obsession. I'm weird.

Well I'm going to drown in a vat of egg nog now (the hood brand, all that other shit is horrid).

GoodNight!

Misery Signals.

25.
1/4 Century.

As of 10pm tonight, I will be officially be 25 years old. Technically, one quarter of my lifespan is over, and I move further into adulthood.

I have seen and experienced many things up to this point, both good and bad, and at sometimes great and horrible. Love, rejection, death, accomplishment, failure have all fallen within the lines of my existence.

I realize I've always done things the hard way, and I think for the first time its starting to pay off in multiple areas of my life. It's not perfect logic, but for some reason, I find it to be the best way for me to go about things.

I've made my share of mistakes, and while there are some regrets along the lines, I can honestly say I've come out of them ok. Thanks to my friends, music, and family, I think I'll make it through the next 25 years.

Run To The Hills

I had to .....HAD TO buy this album, they released it in 2006, and it is fucking awesome!



its good to know that after all these years, dickinson and the boys still have it!

Yes, they sound just as they did back in the day, which is not a bad thing by any means. Too many bands I think get too caught up in trying to change with the times just to stay viable, when in reality, if you look at bands like AC/DC, you can have a career without changing too much.

Another issue I see in music, is bands' second albums being horrible. Yes, alot of times their first album is probably just way too amazing to top with another release (A La Boston's first Album), but I think most of it is alot of pressure to try and ante up and make the people say yeaaaaaah a second time.

Ah well.

Yes this one is short, whatever.

I Went Down Down Down in a Burning Ring of Fire....

Yesterday was a bit of a driving day, as I traveled in my Beetle most of the day.

During these travels, I got to thinking.....

......Man we are gonna get laughed at.

What do I mean?

Well.....

Think about it. When they put the first decades of the 2000s (2000 to 2010 for the morons) into the history books for future generations, what are going to be the major events they see?

-The first African American President was elected (ok that one is a good one!)
-GM and Chrysler falling the fuck on their faces into Chapter 11..
-A horrid recession
-The bullshit "war" in Iraq
-9/11
-That idiot Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich
-George W. Bush and Dick Cheney

.......and if my memory was in better shape the list would go on. Feel free to add more in the comments!!!

But yea, hopefully the next couple decades or so go better, otherwise my kids/grand kids will be like "Wow grandpa RedEvil, you guys were fucked for awhile huh? Thanks for fucking us big time with the repercussions!" lol

Think about it, alot of this shit going on today our kids and grandkids are going to have to foot the bill for.....

.....Now i'm definitely not leaving my cars to them because they'll have to sell them to pay off our debt to China.

Come to think of it, does anyone else find it humorous that we are in debt to a country that makes knockoffs of all our products??

Till Next Time Folks...

Ok I'm a bit late on this one....

Alright so I know it's been a bit since the abortion known as American Idol has ended, but I feel the need to comment on it.

Why? I am sick of listening to people continue to bitch about the outcome.

GUESS WHAT, YOUR VOTE DOESN'T FUCKING COUNT.

How so?

Well yes, you do vote, and they do tally it up, but really, does it matter who wins? Most of the winners don't actually go on to do anything.....so what's the point?

First off, most of the people who come across that stage....suck. And the ones that do sound good sound like every other pop motherfucker we have on the radio now....so why do we need more?

Let's go over a few contestants here.....

Kelly Clarkson is actually talented. Yes I said it. I would also destroy her in bed, but that has to do more with her "other" oral talents.....

Daughtry? Didn't even win it. Bah. He's only still listened to because he sounds like the result of a drunken night of sex between Nickelback and Creed, and no one will admit to the baby.

Jordin Sparks? Medocre at best. Although I liked her for that song "No Air" with Chris Brown, because after the whole Chris beating up Rhianna thing came out, that shit had new hilarious meaning.

I'm not condoning what he did, but that song just became insanely ironic given the circumstances.

Carrie Underwood. Ok you and I both know that the Before He Cheats song was actually pretty good. Other than that....eh she makes a good sketchers model and that's about it.

Taylor Hicks. Ok all you motherfuckers knew he wouldn't be shit after AI. I mean cmon, there is NOTHING about him that is marketable to anyone other than people who still buy Buicks.

Now some of you are probably going "But RedEvil, if you hate AI so much, how do you know all the names?"....RESEARCH BITCHES.

I figure since everyone is bitching about it still, and I'm going to ramble pointlessly about it, I might as well have my poop in a group.

Also, the last dude to win it hasn't done SHIT since the show, and his album tanked when it came out. KTHXBAI.

Summary?

IT doesn't matter who wins, because 90% will fall back into mediocrity with the rest of us. Except Clay Aiken. But that's because everyone knew he was gay except for him.


See you next time folks....

Torch the Fields, and Pray for Rain

Ah when it rains it pours doesn't it?

I find it rather amusing when people think that they are somewhat better than everyone else because they have a college degree. I mean don't get me wrong, props to them for doing the "right thing" and going through the rigors of college (and the parties of college life), but I fail to see how that can make someone better than someone else.

Example?

I'm a mechanic by trade, and while I dropped out of college whilst pursuing my degree in english, I don't see myself as any less of a user of the english language, and nor do I see myself as great for being a mechanic....

....so it fucking grinds my gears (yes that's a family guy reference) when I diagnose a car's problems, and the owner of the vehicle says, "well my son went to (insert auto school here), and he says that there is no way that can be the problem.

Oh? Then why the fuck isn't he working on it?

And then comes the obvious "well I'm sure when you went to school to fix cars you mast have learned the right way and wrong way to diagnose these things"....

I love the look on their stuck up faces when I calmly say "I studied english in college, and only became a mechanic because I'm too broke to pay someone else to fix my cars".

I dunno, maybe I'm nitpicking here, but if you bring your car to me to be fixed, do you or don't you want me to fix it? Or did you just bring it here so me and your son can compare notes and talk cars?

The best is when they ask me to look at the car, tell me I'm wrong, and then they come back a week later saying their son found that the issue was what I said it was in the first place, and that he doesn't even have the right tools to fix the issue (for things such as rear wheel bearings).

I mean I don't go into ice cream places asking for a sundae, and then tell them they're doing it wrong because my brother (100% serious here) graduated from a culinary college and that's not the way he would make it, now do I?????

Although, the only people I think we need to tell they're doing it wrong are the politicians. But we all knew that ;)

Till next time folks!

ps. I've been at work from 7am and I'll be here until 7pm. I'm so bored that not only am I updating this, but I've been hiding in the back seat of cars that on of the other techs have been working on and jumping out at them when they get in the front seat. Yeah, I'm an ass like that, BUT IT'S SO FUN!!!


LET'S PUT A SMILE ON THAT FACE!!!!

RIP Heath Ledger :(

Cartoons, Nostalgia, Maturity, and How they keep me from killing you.

Ok I'm joking about the kiling part. Relax.

Anyways.

I went and saw UP! today in 3d with my fiancee. EPIC MOVIE.

Out of all the movies that are out, UP is probably the only one with a decent plot, decent jokes, and that takes you across the whole range of emotions, from sadness to happiness.

Which brings me to the title.

I catch shit from people all the fucking time because I am turning 24 in a few months, and I am still enamoured with animated features, and even TV cartoons.

Why? Simple.

As a dealership mechanic, all day I deal with the general populace, and there is frusteration in that to no end on some days. So why, oh dear god why, would I want to come home and deal with watching people on TV for entertainment? Cartoons are one of the oldest "modern" sources of humor and joy, and after a frustrating day of dealing with real live people, why wouldn't you want to see an anvil dropped on a coyote or a cat trying to learn how to cook?

Besides, TV today is all dramas, reality tv, and crime dramas. Oh sure, there are some comedies, but c'mon....are they really funny? I didn't think so.

Yes I do watch some other TV, as Bones and House are GREAT shows with great plots and characters. But let's be honest, sometimes you just want to kick back and laugh at stupid things, and a coyote chasing around a roadrunner or a rabbit tricking a hunter just does the trick. Right?

Nostalgia. Another reason I watch cartoons.

I am a Transformers nerd. I admit it. Anyone who knows me on a personal level know this.

Why? Because, to be honest, I had a bit of a shitty childhood due to my mother's second husband, and other than music, transformers was my escape. I admired the principles behind Optimus Prime's beliefs, and hoped one day I would grow to be as strong as him, even though he was a fictitional character, he represented everything I wanted to be....short of a transforming cyborg lol

So why do I still watch the 4 seasons of the original Transformers series? Because it helps me reminisce about the struggles I've been through, and it helps me reflect on alot of things from my youth that have made me who I am.

Granted that show is definitely not the part of my youth that made me a potty mouthed wise ass ;)

Also, anyone who calls anyone immature for playing video games and watching cartoons needs to step the fuck back and look at themselves, because I'm sure there are things they do that are childish to help them escape the everyday turmoil that can cause oh so much stress in life.

Thank you to everyone who reads this, and stay tuned because I AM BACK!!!!!
