Something pissing you off? Rant about it here. (And it can be about anything, even video games  )I'm fine for now, I just wanted to make this topic because everyone gets pissed off occasionally. |

My venting for today: Lag in Fiesta was really driving me to borderline insanity today, just ask Jeff or Bryan. |

Indeed, Sean's anger left hundreds of thousands dead, even more injured. More on this at 11. |

Doctor Seanafunkilus's musterion of Rock

Ok, I actually have something important to vent about this time...but first a little history of the situation... So recently my girlfriend broke up with me, this is the 3rd time we have broken up, and we have been on and off for a little over 3 years. We have only had like 2 or 3 major arguments ever the entire time we were together. The first time we broke up, I was the one who broke up with her because I was just really uncertain about what I wanted in life at the time, and she was dead set on us being together forever and at the time that just didn't feel right to me. So after about 9 months of being apart from her and not being in contact I finally mentally hit the bottom and I realize just how shitty my life was with out her. So, I call her up one day, and spill my guts and basically tell her I love her and I want to be with her forever... Long story short, we decide to get back together, I am on top of the world at this point, because I felt that I had finally realized what I wanted in life, and that I had the love of my life by my side the whole way. Then after several months (like 6 I think) of me telling her how much I love her, and talking about our future together, she tells me that she is having all these doubts and breaks up with me for the 2nd time, which lasts about a week before we get back together. Then we are together for several more months still talking about how much we love each other and are planning a future together, and she then tells me that she has been trying to hold back all these doubts that never went away and were only getting stronger, so she decides to break it off and not try to just prolong these feelings of doubt that she has had, and she breaks up with me for the 3rd, and mutually decided final time (because basically we both decided that we could not handle any more break ups with each other). Now, I still love her and I want her to be happy because she is still one of the most important people in the world to me, and we are still talking just as much as we did when we were together. I have decided that if I she does not want to be with me romantically, then I will do my best to make sure she stays in my life as one of my best friends because she still means the world to me. Now that you know the current situation, here is what is pissing me off... One of my so called "friends", I'm not going to mention any real names so lets just call him...Mike... has always been a very shady individual, and not a person I have ever really trusted... Once in high school he was actually able to convince the girlfriend of one of his other good friends we'll call... Todd... to cheat on Todd with him... and mike was able to steal her right out from behind his back, and take her as his girlfriend. Now Todd is a very weak spirited individual and easily bends to peer pressure and the will of others and basically ends up "forgiving" Mike for what he has done... I on the other hand lost all of my respect for him the day I found out he did that... Now your probably asking yourself, Cog-Sean why did you continue to hang out with this said individual Mike after that? Well, the answer is basically because he was one of only people I knew that went to my college so, I continued to hang out with him because well I was trying to find some way to kill time while at school and he still treated me as if I was one of his best friends. After the incident with Todd's gf Mike told me that he apparently for some reason had a thing for a lot of his friend's gfs. I was not at all worried when mike told me this cuz well I was together with my gf, and I trust my gf, and I know she hates Mike's guts. Now, unfortunately after the 1st time me and my gf broke up, I found out that the same day Mike tried to take advantage of my, at the time x-gf, while she was sad about the break up and tried to "comfort her" and said things like "I'm sorry about what happened, but I feel inclined to kiss you right now". How do I know he said this, my x-gf told me right after it happened and she told me how disgusted it made her that he would even try to make the moves on here when she was vulnerable. She told me about this incident, but made me promise that I would not tell Mike that I knew about it, so the entire time Mike has apparently still though of me and still does think of me as one of his best friends. Eventually, me and my now x-gf got back together and then broke up again recently, which I have already talked about. Now we are up to date... Me and my x-gf have not talked to Mike in over 5 months, because well we both are not very fond of him, and Mike would never call me, I am always the one that calls him because, Mike is actually scared of me, and Mike has some kind of Alpha male complex and apparently has always seen me as being the "cooler guy" and a threat to him, and thinks that he should not have to call any one, and the he is just so fucking cool that people should just call him, and he apparently thinks that if he calls me first he is acknowledging me as being the "alpha male" and the cooler guy... So, I was talking with my x-gf this morning like we always have done ever since we were together, and she tells me that "guess who called me, after not talking for over 5 months", that's right every one it was Mike! Why was he calling you ask? I know exactly why... apparently my x-gf updated her face book account last night, and as those who have a face book account know if you update about something everyone on your friends list knows about it, so basically Mike found out that we had broken up again, and not 9 hours after she up dated her facebook that me and her were no longer together, Mike basically came knocking... saying shit like "oh sorry, I have just been so busy over the last few months, how has your summer been going". NOTE: Notice how Mike gets in contact with my x-gf before he will ever talk to me, one of his supposed "best friends" as he claims...  If it is not already obvious the reason Mike has started to talk to my x-gf is because he basically wants to get her in bed... Now, my x-gf still hates Mike's guts and we have both decided that we never want to talk to him or see his fucking face ever again, because he is basically scum. So, the next time he contacts my x-gf or me we have both decided to tell him exactly how we feel. He is scum that tries so fucking hard to be cool but never will be because well, he actually tries to be cool instead of just being himself. The best way I have found to describe Mike is that he is like one of those two faced characters in the movies that acts like they are friends and trying to help the hero's of the story but are really only out to fulfill their own hidden agendas, like Gollum from lord of the rings. People like Mike can be described using one word, thanks to the Nostalgia Critic, "Supercrapafuckarificexpialibullshit". any way, thanks a lot every one for putting up with my venting, it feels so much fucking better now that, that shit is out of my system. Also, I still can't find those droids I was looking for! Edited by Cog-Sean, Aug 12 2008, 01:38 PM.

I can't say I know exactly how you feel, but I have a friend like that who will remain nameless. I just can't understand - and never will, I don't think - people who do that. How do you look in the mirror and feel okay with yourself? Even if you don't, how do you keep going without changing? All in all, Cog-Sean I'm very sorry about what happened between you and what is now your ex-girlfriend. I'm doubly sorry that such a scumbag (and believe me, I could use worse words and I'm sure you could have too) tried to pull such an obvious move. Such people aren't really your friends and I'm very happy to say with confidence that you are a smart individual with the sense enough to see that. This is something that no one should ever have to bear through, but unfortunately you were one of the unlucky ones who had to witness it. Hate to be so blunt but it sucks, plain and simple. One other thing that this sort of proves is to never date your friend's ex. I never understood exactly what it did, but now I know I think. Too much bad blood and jealousy goes on. In your case though, Cog, I suppose this 'Mike' character doesn't exactly care for such rules. Such low. immodest values is what gets people to not like you. *sigh* What a tool this Mike guy is... And unfortunately...they never learn. There is a point in time where people stop "Growing up". I'm afraid (in my opinion) he's far past it, so he won't learn from such an action. Once again Cog, I'm very sorry that this happened to you, and it sucks, for lack of a better word. |

Okay, this is a rather petty grievance, so if you find this not worth the mentioning, just go ahead, roll your eyes and kindly I know full well that advertising is big money. Especially on something as oft-trodden as the internet. What I DON'T know is why advertisers think that forcing their products and other such nonsense in our faces is a good idea. No one likes pop-up ads, nobody likes those full-screen "good luck finding the 'x' to click out of this one" ads, but now the bastards have gone a step further. I'm just sitting here, minding my own business, trying to watch something by - let's say - the Nostalgia Critic or the Angry Video Game Nerd or "more-or-less-as-far-as-you-need-to-know" legal copies of Kamen Rider on one of the many video-hosting sites, when suddenly, the bottom 1/4 of the video is COVERED BY AN AD FOR SOMETHING I DON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT! Okay, seriously. Pop-up ads are annoying, those full-screen things even moreso, but when something tries to come between me and comedy with stupid ads about equally stupid movies (for that past THREE MONTHS it's all been the SAME BLOODY AD for some STUPID horror movie "The Unborn" or some shit) THEY'RE GOING TOO DAMN FAR. The worst part is that sometimes you click the little 'x' to get rid of them, and even though the icon changes color/indents as if to acknowledge the click the ad just SITS THERE AND MOCKS ME. Right at this very moment, I'm TRYING to watch the Nostalgia Critic's discussion of classic Nicktoons but these stupid out-of-place ads keep coming up every 5 minutes and no matter how many times I click that damn 'x' it just sits there! That is so obnoxious! I HATE THESE THINGS!!! You'd think they'd be easy to ignore but even after you FINALLY get the thing to realize you wish its existence purged from reality, it just COMES BACK AGAIN five minutes later!!! WHAT THE HELL?! The objective of marketing is to make people WANT to see your shitty movies, and if you interrupt my freaking vid feed for something like THAT, then every movie that does it will never get a freaking penny out of me! DAMN IT; I HATE THESE THINGS!!! |

Jeff, Firefox's adblock takes care of about 95% of the ads I deal with, the others being negligible. Anyways, my frustrations stem from my family's issue with the next door neighbor (It's for all intents and purposes a two-family house and the walls aren't that strong.). She's an overzealous religious freak who will, at ONE IN THE FUCKING MORNING, start going on these loud tangents of prayer and trying to drive the devil out of our home. Because of a fucking arguement between her and my mom, she's convinced she's the devil lady. She's stressing out my mom (and my mom has health problems, this stress isn't helping), my dad is getting annoyed, and we're all being woken up in the middle of the night for this shit (And considering this is the week before the midterms when we're trying to do the preparing part the worst thing I need is to be tired and nearly falling asleep during this preparation.) |

Cog's right. I can think of at least 3 charges she could be brought up on - and there's probably more too. The instant you get the slightest bit of grief, do it, that sort of crap is illegal. |
