New Olympic Sport: Complaining

I propose a new Olympic Sport. Complaining. That's right. USA would be the undisputed leader for years to come...we could hold international summer camps on the subject. Don't get  me wrong. i like to complain from time to time too. But, i know the time and place for my complaints. I hear, and am entirely exhausted, by the non-stop complaining i hear from people all day and night long...give it a rest. Get over yourself.
If you are a cashier at your local department store and don't like working the 6-9:30 shift...take a different job..or suffer through it in silence. I don't need to feel sympathy for you while i'm buying my $30 T-Shirt. And, what's more, i've heard so much of it that i don't feel sympathy anymore, instead i feel anger. Also, i don't want to hear "I don't get paid enough to do this!" Yes you do. You are exemplifying exactly why you are worth $6.50/hr. As a professional representative of your store, you would never want the customer feeling angry or sympathetic...those are not "buying" moods. When you were hired i am positive they told you how much you would make...that was the time to complain...i can not give you a raise!
If you buy your lunch from the same vendor each day...and most days you are dissatisfied with the meal...guess what...time to stop buying from them. The examples are endless...and i've had quite enough.

So the next time you see someone go "Falling Down" ala Michael Douglas...minus the kidnapping and murder...you'll know why.

Hindsight is 20/20

Did you ever find it odd when people say "Hindsight is 20/20?" Because, they are attempting to say hindsight is perfect...while 20/20 eyesight is merely average.

I think a cool revolution is in order....let us all start saying "Hindsight is 20/10." or "Hindsight is perfect."

Movie of the Week (An American Werewolf in London)

1981 a year for great classic movies. An American Werewolf in London, Superman II, and Clash of the Titans. All of these movies hold long lingering memories of childhood sleep over parties. They are all filled with great, quotable lines than anyone can toss in to any conversation. For example, If you want to warn someone of impending danger you could say, "Beware the Moors, keep to the road." or if you some says "Oh God" in front of you, you could say, "No...Zod" If two people are arguing in front of you...you could say "A titan versus a titan."
There is a particularly funny line in American Werewolf where David is trying to get arrested in Trafalgar Square while everyone is ignoring him. "Queen Elizabeth's a man...Shakespeare was French..." i find that a particularly funny insult.
