I will tolerate their existence, but as God as my witness, I will never own a cat in my entire life, let alone love one.

False coolness
While I was at the gym, I saw this story play in the locker room television. Long story short, it’s basically how Korean music, AKA K-Pop has risen to heights now reaching global popularity. So high, to the point where there are apparently K-Pop conventions popping up in the United States, where thousands of rabid K-Pop fans in from the United States flock to, despite the fact that they have very little clue to what any of the lyrics actually mean.
Not that there’s anything wrong with that, considering my own past where I had a phase where I really liked Japanese music, despite only knowing that just about every word meant “destiny,” “protect,” and several other constantly recycled clichéd lyrics. But the difference with me is that I never fawned over these Japanese groups like all these people are fawning over their favorite K-Pop groups. Unlike the blatant false claims that “it’s just about the music,” that’s all it was to me: catchy music that I liked, not an infatuation with the performers themselves, like these rabid K-Pop fans are obviously demonstrating.
Too easy
$65,000 worth of chicken wings stolen. The story is a week old, and I can’t believe I missed it then, but yeah… Too easy.
Although, it isn’t as easy as wrapping my head around the fact that it was actually $65,000 worth of chicken wings stolen. According to the story, it was ten pallets. There’s smart thievery, and then there’s just greed. Smart thievery is skimming a little bit at a time over a large spectrum, which in this case would have been removing one or two packages from every single pallet in the warehouse; that might not be nearly as easy to notice, and by the time suspicion piqued, the pallets could have already been opened, wings cooked served, and nothing can be done. Greed is just taking ten pallets straight up and hoping nobody notices the absence of ten entire pallets.
And… there’s really nothing more to say, other than once again, the obvious statement: too easy.
SEUPAAAH GLEEUU
As I was just finishing up my workout and was walking to the locker room, I ran into the current WWE Intercontinental Champion, Wade Barrett today. It dawned on me that there was a RAW taking place in Atlanta tonight, based on a scathing CM Punk promo from a week ago.
Anyway, Barrett was pleasant enough to take a quick picture with me as he was clearly done working out and was on his way out. I asked him if he remembered when Wrestlemania was in Atlanta a few years ago, during the Fan Axxess, if he remembered when someone asked him the question of what he put in his hair to keep it in place while he wrestled. He smirked and was all like “Oh yeah… What did I say? ‘Super glue, right?’”
Well, with his cockney accent it came out more like “seupah gleu” but yeah.
Cool guy, that Wade Barrett is.
The worst-case scenario bowl
If anyone were to ask me who I would want to win the Super Bowl, I would go all Socrates on them, and ask them, “do you remember that scene from The Dark Knight Rises where Bane detonates all the gunpowder-laced concrete, and it destroys the ground underneath the football stadium, killing two entire football teams, except for Hines Ward who outruns all of it en route to scoring a kick-return touchdown?”
And when the response is obviously yes, because I probably wouldn’t associate myself with anyone who hasn’t seen The Dark Knight Rises, then I would say that that’s precisely how I would prefer this year’s Super Bowl to end up, except I don’t want anyone to score a touchdown at all, and would prefer that the kick returner just narrowly fall short of the end zone and fall to his death a step short of scoring.
Although this is probably all staged, I still dislike it
Long story short: Woman in California buys two Super Bowl tickets from someone living in Florida for just under $5,000 off of a Craigslist ad. FedEx package arrives, containing nothing but a crappy black and white promotional image of the Super Bowl with “Enjoy the game! Go Ravens! LOL.” Butthurt woman somehow manages to do nothing but get the story to go viral on the internet, and Ticketmaster swoops into the rescue and provides her with four, completely free tickets.
I dislike this story very much. And I don’t really believe it’s a real story, and that it’s completely staged by all parties involved.
If it were real, the woman who was screwed out of $5,000 goes all Liam Neeson from Taken on this motherfucker in Florida. She has his phone number, and they allegedly spoke on the phone several times. If it were real, she calls him up and gives him most of the same monologue Liam Neeson gave, with most specifically the part where I will find you, and I will kill you.
