You sound like a typical tech support worker to me...
Haha well, the having no idea what I am doing part is pretty much spot on. Maybe this is how they recruit all of us.
-
<p>So I have a job. The stuff I do in my job changed from stuff I know how to do to stuff I don't and the way I have to do my job changed too.</p><p> </p><p>
So somehow I have found myself working tech support for a system I don't even know how to use despite not applying for a tech support job, having no IT background at all and well ... having no clue what I am doing really.</p><p> </p><p>
This is weird.</p><p> </p><p>
Also, I am sick all the time lately .... <img alt="

<p>People are liking Bray Wyatt now he has a gimmick besides Husky Harris. Another NXT guy I was all about (like Heath Slater) that everyone else wasn't sold on. Seriously guys, the dude was good from the start but you guys need some kind of "blowing up my dad's shrimp boat" promo to believe in a guy? </p><p> </p><p>
You guys disappoint me.</p>

Ouch, I have plenty to say but don't want to get too complex since being an airhead hoe who acts like every girl in a night club in California seems to be all some people can understand..
That only works if someone is trying to bang you, and only continues to work up until you have successfully been banged.
-
Slater's great.
Been saying that since he first popped up and most people laughed at me. The fact they throw him in the ring with the likes of Vader and Sid just goes to show that they recognize his ability to make others look good.
-
I find that line up kinda interesting really, It's not the expected crew which to me is a good thing but then I do tend to prefer a bit of variety.

The thing is they HAD the next Cena in The Miz. They pushed him to the moon and the fans loved to hate the guy. He had the big title. He held onto it for a while. He beat Cena at WM. He was on the talk shows and was doing all the other promotional stuff and was doing an excellent job at it. He has tons of charisma to spare.
And then they just stopped pushing him. And I don't know WHY. And he has now lost every single bit of momentum he had back then. And I don't see the Marine 3 being the way to bring him back up either.
From what I heard, nobody can stand the Miz. He was fine in a tag team with R Truth when they were causing trouble but nothing else he has ever done has been any good. He's crappy in the ring, his charisma is way overrated. He's pretty meh.
-
Ouch, that kinda hurts because I'm a fan.....
Hey, like i said ... I got 10 friends who are fans. Nice enough people to hang out with, but I just won't listen to their opinions on music or movies or any other matter of taste.
-
Such Nickleback hate, you guys must hate when Raw comes on.
Nickelback get so much hate I almost feel sorry for them. Almost. But seriously, they are terrible. Liking Nickelback is pretty much just a sign that a person is so ridiculously uncultured and lacking in taste that you can pretty much ignore their opinion on everything.

Dear Mr One Star,
It is occured to me that you have finally found this thread of mine. I'm actually wondering what took you so long, maybe you were feeling unwell and couldn't lift your finger to click on a mouse.
Well you've finally done it, you've managed to muster up all that effort to give me another one star vote. Feel proud of yourself, this must go down as your greatest achievement!
I'm going to give you one star too.

I'm not sure. In the beginning he was cool, mysterious, and well cool.
Nice wordiness.

You know, I see all the time on TV (when I actually watch) and hear girls complain about dead beat dads. Okay I understand there are men who don't want to deal with kids. They really don't have to. That's not an excuse either.
What really gets me is my younger brothers babies mother. She's a well for lack of a better word...a whore. Her and my brother broke up shortly after their daughter was born. My brother takes this little girl three-five days a week. My father who is about to be 70, and in failing health will take this little bundle of joy when the mother doesn't want to deal with her and my little brother had to work. So this .... lady (I'm really being nice here) decided she was tired of MAryland and moved to NC. No that's not super far away. I'd say about a 7 hour drive. Okay you wanted a change of lifestyle. After she got there she called my brother complaining she couldn't deal with Reba (the baby) alone and needed his help loved him blah blah blah. My little brother gave up his life here, left his ENTIRE family and the home he's known for 22 years and went to NC to be with his daughter and this girl. HE'd been there maybe a week and this ..... girl....tells my brother..Oh you have to get a place of your own I just want you to be here for REba and not me. she's sleeping with many different guys.
Normally I wouldn't care what ANYONE does with their own life, but what she's doing is effecting my entire family. My father and step mother have been in this girls life for the first year of her life. Now most people will say oh it's a year, but anyone who's been around babies will understand that it's a very bonding kind of time. Now they are hurting because they can't see their grand daughter, for my step mom this is her first grandchild so it's even harder on her.
I'd really like to see people get their live together. I have a great respect for guys who take care of their business, and that's what he's trying to do. Not many men would give up their lives and chase their child. Some females just don't know what they have....
That sucks. Seriously, this is why I fear having children. Once you do, all the mother of the kid has to do is go nuts and well ... you're boned.

Last time I saw someone namedrop so many brand names in a row, I was reading American Psycho. So Remi, what are your thoughts on Huey Lewis?

Watching season 1 of the X-Files. I forgot how good this show is.

I generally disagree with the far right because they are for the most part misinformed jerks who just want to hate everyone, except ironically enough, Hitler. At the same time I've never been sold on things like paying taxes or having citizenship making someone a nationality as this kind of overlooks the cultural and ethnic distinctions which are pretty much what countries were originally based on. This, as well as the fact that this viewpoint seems to only work with people coming into western countries, not going out makes me a little hesitant to buy into it fully. IMO <img alt=":p" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> an immigrant can be British, but just living somewhere and filling out the paperwork does not make one British if that makes sense.</p><p> </p><p> But then, I am also suspicious of multiculturalism since I am not sure it's the warm and fuzzy lets all get along philosophy that has been advertised and is probably far more based on economics and the wealthy wanting to make sure there is a significant amount of people willing to work crap jobs for crap money than it is based on any altruistic vision of a united world based on love and understanding of all people. I don't buy into the "they tirrrkk errrr JERRRBBSS" stuff, but rather that big business with the support of the government would rather underpay foreigners and be filthy rich than pay locals properly and be just really really rich.</p><p> </p><p> All that said, my car (with me in it), and a dude I know both on different occasions got attacked by mobs of muslims so maybe that has just left me a little cynical and less welcoming.</p><p> </p><p> Also statistically, not sure your France theory stacks up. I mean, there was the Norman conquest and all ... but that hardly changed the entire population of the UK and many of those guys originated further north anyway. Heck if everyone at any time had to all go back to where they came from the mass confusion would probably lead to the end of humanity.</p>

Ah how could you not like Ray Traylor!!!??
Yeah, Ray Traylor was so awesome.
Mine is kind of embarrassing, I never used to like Rick Rude as a kid since I found his somewhat sexual gimmick kind of embarrassing and fruity. I'd be sitting around wanting to watch some ... I dunno, Hogan or Jake the Snake or something and then this guy would be all oiled up and gyrating to stripper music and my mother would walk in and be like "WTF are you watching?"

I get this problem a lot. I'm biracial (black and white) and originally from the Midwest. Not a lot of mixed race where I'm from, so I got it a lot. I moved to California, hoping to get away from that issue (among others) and I still get it. Just a couple weeks ago at work I had a customer (who was from India) as me point blank if I was Pakistani.
In my life, people have asked me if I was Indian, Pakistani, Turkish, Puerto Rican, Mexican, and once someone even used a racist term that made me assume he thought I was Korean.
I hate when people ask my nationality. I was born in America, therefore my nationality is American. And if they ask about my "race", it really bugs me, because it is not relevant.
When people feel the need to push the issue, I tend to get a bit heelish, and tell them I'm German, as most of my ancestors are from there. One lady actually said "What are you?" I told her I was human. She got a bit snotty, said, "Well, where are you from?" I told her North Dakota. She got the point...though I lost the sale, in the end.
My older brother gets the same crap, and he lives in Chicago. I don't know about outside the US, but everywhere I've been it's been the same.
What annoys me is when people try to TELL me what my ethnic background is. Like a lot of Australians I'm a mix of British Isles/Irish ethnicities mostly, and I think I probably take after the Welsh genes the most as I'm a touch darker than the average white guy, broad shouldered and not that tall which fits the description of a certain portion of Welsh people I've encountered. A lot of people, usually Asians, see my dark hair and start insisting I am Italian or Greek or something else more Mediterranean despite my sparse body hair, green eyes, lack of grease and total repulsion with Mediterranean cuisine. If anything I don't even make up half of the stereotype!
Seriously, if people ask that's one thing even though it's none of their business. But trying to say "I think you are ...." or "But maybe your grandparents were ...." is bloody annoying.

Netflix has a deal to show 6 (or 8; can't remember which) new episodes that will update what the Bluths are up to now and then the long awaited AD movie will follow that.
That's good news. I never got into Arrested Development before, I would see it on tv years ago and not get it because I had not watched it from the beginning so it made little sense to me. Just started on the whole series from episode one in the last month or two and it's a pretty good show.
Aside from that I am watching Archer.
I've been losing interest in a lot of shows though. Got a season or two into Breaking Bad before I stopped watching, Californication lost me somewhere last season, Community has always been hanging on by a thread but I just flatout forgot it existed for a while and not gone back to it, even stopped watching Eastbound and Down midway through the most recent series. I'll probably go back to that but .... yeah. Most shows are just losing my interest.

So to clarify the point I'd made, I dont believe Rey or anyone else would die of marijuana overdose.
Nah, stoners just bore everyone else to death by talking about it all the time.

He is almost certainly prescribed steroids comming off the very serious knee surgery. It's extremely common among patients with physical jobs to be treated with steroids for their ability to grow damaged tissue.
But this isn't against WWE's policy.
So it was probably something fun. If it was a party drug... ehh.... tough to explain. Especially with the way Eddie went out and all. You'd think the guy wouldn't be that stupid.
I've learned it's best never underestimate a person's stupidity. But yeah, what you said checks out. I am pretty sure he'd be on the roids legally and prescribed which raises the question, what the heck did he do?
-
The difference is that Brodus Clay's gimmick is *meant* to be a dumb little comedy gimmick. Tensai's, they expect people to take seriously.
Because WWE are stupid on both counts. You got a serious gimmick that makes no sense and a comedy gimmick that is about as funny as a funeral.
And yeah, Soxfan, Rey probably should retire. He knees sound like they are a mess and I am honestly so bored of him these days.

What grinds your gears?

Yeah, that's really horrible. What is it about somewhat smart, well off loners and killing sprees?
I have to admit, especially when I was a student ... if ever met anyone who seemed a bit off, maybe a loner, bit of a misfit, a bit weird or like the kind of person you just don't know what they are all about I would make an effort to be friendly with them while also not getting too involved. It might sound callous but this was my way of hopefully making the angry loner a bit less angry and alone, or worst case scenario avoiding being gunned down when the angry loner went psycho .... they might be "Oh man, that guy was always pretty cool to me, I'll shoot all the other people instead". Not sure why I thought that or why I mentioned it really ...
I have not followed the news for years. Ironically enough I stopped paying attention to it when I was studying journalism. Part of it may be how depressing it is, part of it is certainly apathy, a big part is how little I trust news sources in general but mostly it's just that the same stuff keeps happening so I don't see why I have to pay attention to the news regularly since it seems to do me more harm than good. I can just assume there is a war somewhere, a genocide somewhere, oppression somewhere, mass murder somewhere, a stupid celebrity somewhere, a shady politician somewhere etc etc etc and if I wanted to do something about any of it then it would necessitate me making sacrifices I am not prepared to make for just a chance at making a difference in one instance of a cycle that has repeated for as long as people have existed.
So I mostly just don't want tv or read the papers or listen to the radio and instead try to be a good dude in my own humble way and enjoy my life and appreciate what I have and the people I know while having the occasional bitch about things because even trying to live under a rock there is still plenty of stuff that grinds ones gears.
