My iPad shattered and I wanted to get it fixed.
Guess where you gotta go when your iPad breaks. That's right, the Apple store. I called several places and ended up having to go to the Apple store.
There are no Android stores. You know why? Because Android isn't a dick. Android lets you play nicely with others. Android is like a chill guy who gets along with just about everyone. Except Foreflight. But I don't blame Android for that. Android would probably love to be friends with Foreflight. BUT NO!!! Foreflight is just like Apple. Foreflight is a non cooperative prick that doesn't like to share and only wants to do things his own way.
The Apple store was packed with no less than 90 people on their lunch break all very content to deal with this inconvenience of having to go to this specific store that their device requires. AND IT DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A BACK BUTTON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Android is like "Hey I'm friends with everyone and hey, if you want to go back to what you were doing, I got your back buddy!"

My friend called me all excited "DUUUUUUUUDE!!!! Come to xyz Bar, they have FOOD TRUCKS!!!!!"
Very excited he was about ****ing food trucks.
Why are you excited about this? "Food Truck" gives you no information about which to be excited. NONE! Do you like trucks? I never see you play with trucks. You have never once pointed out a truck before and been like "Awe damn, man I love me some trucks"
And Food. Nobody ever goes OH MAN!!! I want SOME FOOD! FOOD IS THE BEST!!
I mean tell me there is a "Rudy's BBQ truck" and now I have enough information to decide if I am excited or not. I would get that but being excited simply by combining food and truck is faking on some level. Unless I know what the truck is serving, I don't have enough information to get excited. And neither do you. Quit faking excitement about the food delivery method. It makes no ****ing sense!

He then gets a bucket of PBR.
A 44 year old man that has been drinking craft beer for the last 10 years is VERY excited about this beer which is historically famous for being tasteless and cheap. He is pretending to like something that he knows isn't good... So much so that he gets a bucket of 4 or 5 of them. WTF????

In July I waited in a 1 hour line to try an In-And-Out burger. Same deal. Not bad but no better than a whopper. Sure as hell not worth the 1 hour wait. Yet people do it. LOTS of people. 1 hours worth on that day.
If the food was that good you wouldn't be getting it from a ****ing drive thru.
Those same people... Those same people would all leave a nice steakhouse if the hostess said there was a 1 hour wait.
But for a ****ty McWhopper knock off? "Where's my tent? Lets camp the **** out! We're not going to miss out on this."

The world is a fine place but that is all it is. It is fine. There's no need to pretend that crap is somehow not crap and that it is ever worth losing an hour of your life just because other people have convinced you that this crap is better than the non crap you wouldn't wait an hour for.
Doesn't make sense. Not one bit of sense.

Today I am 40 years and 4 months old. Today 2/16/2017 I finally broke down and got a prescription for glasses. I fought long and hard pretending my AME medical was a legit eye exam but today I finally gave that up. I went to the eye glasses store and I went to pick out frames.
I don't want glasses. I don't want to wear them. I don't want them to be a major part of my character. My goal was to get the least visible glasses they make. Well Eff Me! If yo go to the glasses store in 2017, you have 2 options. Buddy Holly or Groucho Marx. That's what you are supposed to wear.

I went to my friend PBR's house to tell him I had to finally get glasses. He invites me in and shows me his new beard grooming kit complete with combs, some sort of oil, trimmers, and shapers. If you have all that stuff you don't deserve a ****ing beard! Having a beard is about being lazy and not giving a ****, eating meat and finding chunks of meat in it later. Shave it off now. You lost beard having privileges when you decided to treat it like a french poodle instead of a nest full of beer scented surprises.
