Really Alarming

Category: Really Useless. (Sub Category: Scam) Item: Car alarms.

It's fucked up when a car alarm goes off just because some other (loud) vehicle drives by. Who sets their car alarm during the day? Do alarms really keep thieves from breaking into cars? I don't think so, because no one takes notice of activated alarms due to the 98% incidence of non-break-in-activation.

I would like to know the connection between the insurance companies, which give you a "discount" for having an alarm system, and the alarm manufacturers. Call me cynical, but I'm pretty sure there is one.

A Public Apology

I learned this morning that Miss California went and made ass during the Miss USA Pageant 2009 last night. Whah.

While I'm sorry that I missed the controversial Prop 8 question/answer, I'm downright heartbroken that I WAS NOT EVEN AWARE OF A PAGEANT ON TELEVISION and that the Pageant Posse has dismantled entirely.

I suppose this is a prime example of some of those good things that come to pass. Dammit.

Cultural Differences

It makes me crazy that someone can stand in line for, let's say, a bagel and get to the register and then.....take time to decide what it is that they want.

In New York City, this would just never fly. These people would be chewed up and spit out. In a good way.
