Why do you like to dislike?

Have you seen these new sites around that give you a list of random crap to "like" on facebook, so you can spam your "friend's" facebooks with crap you "lol" at?

Here are a few I've seen recently. (Names changed, duh)
=========================================

Here are the classic "liking something I actually hate" likes.

Donnie Shitforbrains likes "Hearing something that absolutely kills you inside. And having to act like you're fine."


Whiny LilGirl likes: " If a beautiful woman is insecure, you can thank the jackass that cheated on her."


Icant GetOverShit likes: "Each girl has that ONE boy... that they will NEVER lose feelings for. </3"

Then there are the ones that are meant to be "witty"

This bitch likes: "You two are dating...again??? ...because it worked REALLY well the first 20 times. idiots."


Holy Shit likes: "like this if you think hahahahahahahahaha is more effective than lol"


SameBitch AsBefore likes:  "Teacher: `Dont pack up, theres a few minutes left in class.` Students: *Packs up slowly & silently*


Ugh Fml likes: "2012? Seriously? I survived Y2K, 9/11, 6/6/6, 9/9/9, H1N1, & Swine Flu! BRING IT ON!!!"

Or the "quotes"

Like Addict likes "WEEE. WEE. WEEEEE! WEEE! WEEE-" "Max." "WEE WEE WEEE." "MAXWELL!" "Yeah?" "You're home." "Oh, cool...."


Ugh..I copy/Pasted these ALL from my facebook page today, all at the same time. Now, have fun as I seriously consider unfriending these people.

Desk Talk: Cell Phone (LG Rumor Series)

Being the third in the LG Rumor lineup, each of which I have had, this is by far my favorite!

Lets start at the beginning. I started off with a White LG Rumor.
This was probably the worst phone I've ever had in my life. I literally had it replaced at least 4 times, all due to completely different issues.
 First, the whole bottom half of the phone stopped working. The keyboard, the charger port, everything.
Second, the screen would skew, so I would have to hold the phone pretty much horizontally and diagonal to read texts or menus.
Third, the charger port stopped working.
Fourth, some of my keyboard buttons would randomly stop working.

After almost a year of putting up with this BS, I was finally eligible for the Upgrade to the LG Rumor 2. I was skeptical, this phone sucked ass, so I thought the upgrade would be the same. I read some decent reviews for it, and I figured I'd rather pay $50 bucks for the upgrade replacement for the FIFTH time the Rumor died, than pay $200 bucks for a brand new different brand.

This phone....was perfect. I Had it for about a year and never once did  I have to replace it. Unlike the Rumor 1, the text messages were in conversation mode, which I love.

So I'm going to continue on to my current phone, because the Rumor Touch still holds some of the great things I loved about the Rumor 2

I already said I loved conversation  mode of the Rumor 2, so here are some of the things that I love about this phone.

Customizable Menus



The "Hello" User Interface
You can group your friends into categories of your choice. For instance, these are the out-of-state friends I talk to a lot, so I grouped them together. If you touch an icon of one person, it brings up this second screen. From here you can Delete the contact, view the rest of their contact information, call them, text them, and see your recent history with this specific contact. You can also change their picture ID. If you do not have their picture, you can chose from pre-made avatars.
If you want to text, lets say, 3 of these people all at one time, you would draw a circle around them, it groups them together in a mass text message. You can have 6 friends on each of the 4 pages of the Hello UI.

The Application Manager



The thing that blew my mind about this phone, was that I could listen to music and text message at the same time. If you have a Micro SD card, you upload music onto that, and the Music Store application finds that music automatically and adds it to your playlist.

Once you start a song, it will sometimes find the Album Art without even asking! But not always. All you have to do then is press the Menu button and chose "Send to Background". Then you can do anything else on your phone, EVEN go on Facebook and Twitter.



I bought this phone in June, and I have had to replace it once, but it was my own fault. I took it with me when I worked at a Summer Camp, where it got damn, dropped, left in the sun, generally fucked up.

So thats all I have to say about that!

Desk Talk: Dr. Pepper

Well, Blogs are for talking about the world around you, what you like, what you don't like. Blah blah blah. So I decided that once in a while, I'm going to pick something up off of my desk and talk about it. The things on my desk are what I do, what I like, what I surround myself with.

The first thing I'm going to talk about (the first thing that I saw when I sat down) is Dr. Pepper

Hurray. Dr Pepper claims to have 23 flavors, so lets try and think of 23 awesome things about Dr. Pepper.
  1. Uh,. It's delicious. Bottom line.
  2. There are only 150 calories per can, as opposed to 140 in Coke. Calories are energy, and BOY do I love calories. nomnomnom
  3. You can use Dr Pepper in recipes
  4. Dr Pepper is the oldest soft drink manufacturer in the US. A company around for that long must be doing something right.
  5. Dr Pepper dropped the period after "Dr" sometime in the 1950s. Why is this awesome? Because Dr Pepper is too badass for grammar. What are you gunna do about it?
  6. Dr Pepper Company owns Snapple, 7UP, A&W Root Beer, Sunkist soda, Canada Dry, Hawaiian Punch, Schweppes, RC Cola, Diet Rite, Slush Puppie frozen drinks, Mott's Apple Juice, Clamato, Mr & Mrs T, Holland House mixers, Rose's, Mistic, Yoo-Hoo, Orangina, IBC, Stewart's, Nantucket Nectars, and a bunch of others. what a pimp!
  7. Dr Pepper is kosher. Hells yeah
  8. Dr Pepper contains denatured rum, so even Pirates can enjoy it! Yo ho ho, bitches.
  9. Dr Pepper was originally caffeine free, but since caffeine is so badass, they decided to add it.
  10. You can drink Dr Pepper hot, over a slice of lemon, and its actually delish.
  11. Mr. PiBB tried to knock off Dr Pepper, but Dr Pepper whooped his ass.
  12. Cherry Chocolate Dr Pepper. What other company has the balls to put chocolate in? Even though it wasn't the most successful endeavor, it still took balls.
  13. A "Flaming Dr Pepper" is a better tasting variation of a "Jager Bomb". You take about 3/4 of a shot of Amaretto, top if off with 151 proof rum, and drop it into a glass of colllld beer, after lighting the rum on fire, of course.
  14. There are Dr Pepper museums in Dublin, and Waco, TX.
  15. You can now get a Cherry Dr Pepper ice cream topping. I have it in my cupboard.
  16. I'm running out of things to talk about.
  17. Dr Pepper is great at masking the tastes of things like medicine and alcohol. CHUG CHUG CHUG
  18. Dr pepper isn't too sweet (like coke) nor too plain (like pepsi)
  19. Every company that tries to copy Dr pepper, with their own version, or by simply adding cherry to the mix, has failed. Epicly.
  20. Dr Pepper is proof that High Fructose Corn Syrup > Pure Cane Sugar. Seeing as how Dr Pepper with pure cane sugar isn't as good, and tastes kindof flat. (I've had both.)
  21. There is a legitimate Dr Pepper club, called the 10-2-4 Club.
  22. The 10-2-4 Slogan was created because some scientific-y people decided that during a normal day, a person loses energy at 10:30am, 2:30pm, and 4:30pm. Dr Pepper claimed (back in the day) That if you drink the deliciousness at 10, 2, and 4 during the day, the extra energy will help get you through the slump.
  23. Dr Pepper is friggin delicious. Oh, I said that already.
So there we have it. Now you know something I like, what is something you like?

Well, Hello again, Internet.

Ah, we meet again.


Today marks the beginning of another feeble attempt at blogging. I've tried all of those other blogs before. Xanga, LiveJournal, Tumblr, and even ones I've most likely forgotten about by now. And here is a go at Blogspot.


I've tried all of those networking sites, craving attention of the world, wondering if someone off in China or some crap is reading the stupidity I have to post. I posted stories and poetry on FictionPress, I have photography on DeviantArt, I have a barely used twitter, a dead myspace, and a Youtube account which I use to troll and comment on random shit, but never actually posting anything of any worth myself. I do, however, use Facebook, as any bored 20-something does in their spare time. I also have a Dailybooth, which just screams "Look at me. I'm so badass because I make faces at a computer screen and snap a picture. Follow4Follow???".


(All of which, I will most likely end up linking to this page in another feeble attempt to get noticed by someone other than the people I associate myself with every day.)


Now, you might think I'm a sad or angry person, since I'm 'bashing' myself, saying I crave attention. But isn't it the truth? Why else do blogs exist? Your friends don't care about your crap, they see it all over facebook anyway, in all of your status updates and wall posts from TextsFromLastNight. Every time you quote someone or quote a song that "describes" you so well. (Until you find another song, or until you take a huge dump and feel better about the day)


Also, yes. I guess I decided to take the sarcastic "I don't give a fuck" path of blogging, because I'm edgy and I want you to think I'm a hardass. Well I'm not, I can tell you that right now. Want to know a little bit about me? I guess we'll talk about that later.


But for now, it's 10:00am, and I haven't been to bed yet. Also I realized that IE has no grammar or spelling check, so this post is most likely full of typos and exausted errors. Back to Firefox, if it will stop being a sonofabitch and re-directing me, that is. Yay viruses.
