Too much spaghetti squash and sauce. Too fast. Uggg.
Is today national act like a jack ass while driving day and nobody told me or what? The fun started about a mile from my house, the person in the left lane is doing about 40 in a 50 MPH zone and I'm in the right lane doing about 53. I'm not being a dick and passing her on the right, I'm just driving like I usually do and I had to be in the right lane anyways. Just as I'm about to pass her she suddenly starts coming over into my lane, no signal, no warning, just "hey I'm coming over gais! lolz!" Problem is the back half of her car is lined up with the front half of my car, it wasn't like she was pulling out right in front of me and was just going to cut me off, she was going to hit me so I had to slam on my brakes and go from 53 down to 20ish in about 2 seconds to avoid being hit.
YAY!
The fun continued as I'm on the freeway and time after time I have someone on my ass while I'm in the left lane trying to pass slow traffic and as soon as I'm able to I get over in the right lane to let them pass but instead of passing me they stay pretty much where they were relative to my position anyways. What the fuck? Then after doing this for about 20-30 seconds I get back in the left lane because I don't want to get stuck behind a semi and they seem to get all pissed because they close the gap between our two cars even more.
Then on the way home I had the pleasure of getting ahead of this impatient bitch behind me who is probably a mere 3 inches from my rear bumper and I see a gap in the right hand lane where I can pass this semi but before I can pass the semi it's the car in the morning all over again, the semi starts coming over into my lane then puts his signal on so again I apply my brakes and slow down and I guess the semi finally realized I was behind him because he turned his signals off and didn't fully come over into my lane. So when he's finally back in his lane I start speeding up and I can see the bitch behind me in my rearview mirror flipping me off and making a "go go go!" motion with her hands. Come on lady! Believe me I would love nothing more than to have your road raging ass 20 miles in front of me instead of right behind me. As soon as the traffic on the right clears I would be more than happy to let you pass.
Always a hoot and a half driving I suppose.

Driving is essentially proof that socialism does not work (cannot get everyone to drive the same), as everyone is naturally in it for themselves (some want to hurry, others rather go slow for gas/safety, but everyone agrees that everyone else is in their way).
The wedding I just went to on Saturday was the worst wedding I've ever been to. It's as if at 3:00PM they decided "Hey, let's get married today on the beach!" instead of having it "planned" for over 5 months.
First of all.. beach wedding in Florida at the end of June? Where's the groom, because he needs to be punched in the fucking neck. Oh, then to double down.. let's have the "reception" under a "hotel" outside by the "pool"..... For the band/DJ, we will use Pandora.. oh shit, we don't have a good cell signal! But let's invite 80 people and fuck with them by buying 2 cases of Bud Light and about 2 dozen sandwiches. Not everyone wants to eat and drink afterall......

You may have wondered if it was socially acceptable to pre-game a wedding. Now you know the answer.And yet many people will go out of their way to help someone else; waving them on, vacating the passing lane, etc. That we remember the exceptions is in no way a commentary on the general helpfulness of our race.Originally Posted by Atlanteax
Also, you didn't build those roads.
Hasta pronto, porque la vida no termina aqui...
America, stop pushing. I know what I'm doing.
Another frown today, yay! So I knew EA was useless but god dayum I had no idea how useless they were. I bought a couple of games online from them a few years ago (Dead Space 1 for any clue about just how long.) I'm pretty sure back then they didn't have this Origin thing because I don't remember buying games via that method. So anyways a couple of years ago I started using their Origin thing to buy some games and I couldn't use my main email account when I signed up. "Weird," I thought to myself but I went ahead and just used an alternate email account because I was only planning on buying a game or two and didn't think it was a big deal. So I ended up buying more than a couple of games and decided I wanted this account under my main email account, well that email account is somehow associated with Origin so I couldn't just change the email address to my main email address according to the online "help" person, I had to talk to someone over the phone and have them move the games over.
Okay no problem, sounds simple enough. This was on Friday. So I call in and they said "Oh sure that's no problem, we can do that, but unfortunately you have to speak to a 'specialist' and their department is closed now so you'll have to call back."
Meh, no problem, I did call pretty late, it's understandable. So I call in today, give the guy the info, he says "Oh sure that's no problem. Normally I could do this myself but you're going to need to talk to a 'specialist' because the old Origin account doesn't have a secret question on it (no shit) and we're not allowed to do this sort of thing without that proper verification."
Hey, no worries man, the guy said I had to talk to a specialist anyways, let me at him!
After being on hold for about 30 minutes the 'specialist' finally answers and he seems eager and enthusiastic to help me right from the get go. I mean shit, I didn't even have a chance to say hi and he's saying "Oh I see your case here! Let's see...yup! You want to merge two accounts! No problem! That's what I'm here for, you're talking to the right person! Let's get this done!"
Whoa! This guy is fucking awesome! Let's do this. Then he's reading out loud some things then says:
Him: "Let's see let's see...do you have any console games on these accounts?"
Me: "Nope!" (thinking to myself holy shit does this guy have an easy case here!)
Him: "Just PC games?"
Me: "Yup!"
Him: "Sorry, we can only transfer console games."
Me: "..."
WTF?
Him: "Well, we can transfer all of your games on ONE account to a new email address, well we're not actually moving anything, we're just changing the email address (No fucking shit!)"
Me: "What about the games on the other account?"
Him: "Sorry, you'll just have to use two accounts if you want to play those games, we can't..." and here is the part that really deserves it's own special emphasis here so it's going to.
Him: "We can't PHYSICALLY MOVE GAMES BETWEEN ACCOUNTS."
My God. This is the year 2013, we've sent men (no women!) to the moon. We have a fucking space station orbiting the planet. We have done heart transplants and lung transplants. We have fucking cars that can drive themselves. We're using phones that are more powerful than the computers we all played GS on 15 years ago but EA hasn't developed a way to lock someone out of one account and give them the licenses for VIRTUAL GAME ACCESS they already paid for on another account.

Just more EA fail, that is all to it really. Stop buying from EA.
