    The West Wing #1.15:

    Let me tell you something, mi compadre. You guys have been coddled. I'm not your girlfriend, I'm not your camp counselor, and I'm not you sixth grade teacher you had a crush on. I'm a graduate of Harvard and Yale and I believe that my powers of debate can rise to meet the Socratic wonder that is the White House Press Corps.

I really wish I still had a saxophone. I miss playing.

And they’re machine washable…?

This made me drop to the floor laughing my ass off. I sincerely hope this is a joke, because… I can’t even type at how funny this is. Of course, once the laughter stops, I may be appalled at the whole invasion of privacy this is. But seriously, are guys so insecure they have to lo-jak their significant others?! The sensatech sensor that takes biometrics just sends me back to the floor laughing.

Just Shoot Me

Posted by jetblack on June 2nd, 2005

Action always seems to work best when trying to solve a problem, rather than complaining about it. I get really frustrated with people who sit back and get off on bitching about something without actually offering a viable solution or if they’re in a position to, effect the solution toward resolution. I hate wasted effort, and I hate inefficiencies with a passion, so complaining without action is as effective as trying to a hang a fart in a hurricane.

If you don’t like me, fucking say so. If you don’t care for what I do, then fucking tell me. If I’m causing a problem for you or your plans, locate some testicular fortitude and communicate that. But if you’re going to be a passive aggresive asshole who just nods and smiles because you think I won’t like you, then the bottom line is, you’re going to lose not only my respect but likely any shred of friendship. I don’t respect passive-aggressives, and I can’t tolerate them for long stretches of time. If I shoot straight and am up front, then I expect the same respect.

It’s unfortunate that what I’d like and the reality I live in do not intersect. I imagine a lot less fighting and time-wasting bullshit would actually help everyone get what they fucking want.
