Welcome to the "Ranting for dumb reasons"... a forum for little things that have finally annoyed you enough!


Okay... I'm friggin' SICK of MSN "style" people being unrealistic asshats.

I mostly read this crap as kind of a "I guess I don't want to fall too far behind what the hell the rest of my fellow humans are doing"...

They have "Men's Fashion" where it says I should buy a $200.00 leather coat. A fugly pair of pants I wouldn't be caught dead in at a GOLF COURSE much less in public, is like 300 bucks. Of course, this can only work with a pair of shoes that cost more than I make in weeks.

According to the site, my girlfriend would be TOTALLY stylin' if she bought like $2,500.00 worth of clothing that looks like it was swiped off a homeless person in the night (ripped jeans, "Lived in" look all over, expensive purse that looks like it should have hit "Wal-Mart" for five bucks)

What the hell is with all the "pre-ripped" crap?!? I mean, WEAR THE DAMN PANTS. SAVE 50 bucks and wear 'em in yourself! Or hit 'em with a belt sander if you're THAT damn desperate. Hell, we used to acid-wash 'em kids! Just getcher self some bleach and a washer... IT'S NOT THAT HARD.

Also, all the damn retro shirts... Yes, the 80s had some good shirts, but they really don't work on the younger generation. All these retro "Things go better with Coke" and "Fame" (from the TV show) T-shirts really make a person look like they've gone diving through their older brother's closet...

Anyway, back to MSN... Today's advice is learning how to merge you and your girlfriend's sense of style. I'm tired of being treated like a bloody stereotype.

I think there's a woman out there who spied on men back like forty years ago and reported in:

Spy: "Them menfolk seem to enjoy scratching, fish on plaques, recliners, little boy crap 'cause they don't grow up, sports, pictures of Marylin Monroe and have nothing else. They are pathetic beings, whom we should mock and pity."

Women writers for the next fifty damn years: "OOOOOH!!!!"

Years later they added, "And if you show 'em sex at all, what little wit they DO have dribbles down their leg."

There is no possibility that any man might actually have taste, style, and yes... maybe even culture.

Also, they pull that same crap on the women...

"All women like lace, baking, knick-knacks and gee Wally, is it f*cking 1957 yet?!?"

When is someone going to grow the hell up and realize that people aren't all blinking sheep?!?

I know that men are predisposed towards certain things (I know I still have some stereotypical "Guy" things, like a car I should probably trade in for something more sensible), but all in all, I'd like to at least be allowed the possibility that I'm not a dumb, prehistoric relic from the 50s (or further back)... I'm may be a sad, throwback from the 80s, but it's still progress dammit!!!

Anyway... my rant...

Umm well thats the kinda bull you get when you have one women interpreting a bunch of guys, its HER interpretation....plus, people act a certain way acorrding to their enviornments


The "spy" was probaly spying on the guy she liked and probably found this stuff out. She was disgusted with what she seen and reported it...and then went lesbian.

I myself find streo types , fashion trends, and the opinions of the "WELL INFORMED" GQ, esquire etc etc jurnalists rather amusing. I've found that 90% og the time a person that would type cast you/me or look down on us for our clothes/cars/money or ???? is most likely the kind of shallow jagoff i'd rather not know to begin with. It the guy/gal that talks to me or greets me without hesitation or without looking me up an down that i think is worth knowing and i'm genrally right.

As for the fashions teens wear today, i only got two things to say

to the girls - GET A DAYUM SHIRT THAT FITS !!
to the boys - PULL YER DAYUM PANTS UP !!

I like the part about boys- pull yer dayum pants up man , that just drives me nuts about seeing all those idiots with there pants just about dragging off there dam butts .And then they will pay like $50 bucks or more for a pair a jeans that drag on the ground and get ruin that to me is just a waste of money.

I have a little subrant here while were on the subject of fashion. What is it with this society of "emo" people? I don't care for the fact that they are emotional, men have emotions too, hell even I do. What gets me is that they all dress a certain way, like wearing girls pants, they all wear their hair a certain way, they all wear a certain type of clothing, same shoes, and they listen to the same music, however they do this for the sole purpose of being different and telling the rest of society to f*ck off, WHEN THEY ALL LOOK EXACTLY ALIKE.

You can't be different if you wear the same clothes as everyone else. If anyone defines the term emo it's me. I carry myself a certain way because it's different from the rest of society and it's my way of telling our conformist society to F*ck off. You know how I do it?

I just be myself.

Most "rebellious" subcultures seem to operate that way. South Park's "Goth Kids" were a good example!

Akita, sorry I haven't been around much... life has been REALLY busy lately. I used to pay all my bills like three weeks early, now I'm always on the wire, freaking out I have to take the time to sit down and write them out. My girl and my folks are leaning on me to move, I just got "officially" hired at my job, I have a ton of other projects I'm trying to wrap up...

As it is, if anyone wants to meet me, I'll be in Texas in a few weeks (not sure when) for training. I don't have any clue of my schedule, but I'll be in San Antonio for roughly a week before the end of the year (the way I hear it anyway).

Anyway... lunch is a Dr. Pepper today, so I figured I'd catch up here a little.

EDITED FOR SPELLING: My god... hoocd onn fonix werkd 4 mee.
