You know what trend I have decided is quite disturbing? It's the one where a company will impose a certain policy on you and then try to pass it off as doing it "for your convenience." This is really starting to irk me greatly. For instance, next time you go to a nice restuarant (and for those of you who actually read this blog, La Bamba's is not considered a nice restuarant) look for that line at the bottom of the menu: For your convenience, parties of 6 or more will have an automatic 18% gratuity. How is this for my convenience? Really, tell me.
(Still waiting...)
That's right. It's not! It's for their convenience. For your convenience, please enter your Social Security number before we drag you into this impossible maze of a phone tree. For your convenience, we've decided to take your house, buy it from you for 30 cents on the dollar, and put a highway in its place. Ahhh!
You know what I'm waiting for? Companies to just come out and tell us what they're doing. I'm serious about this. This is the kind of honesty we, as Americans, would just leap at. Imagine if the local pizza guy told you he needed to raise his prices to pay off his debts at the track. It might suck, but at least you're getting a straight answer. And quite honestly, I'm guessing that the guy who needs to sell a hell of a lot of pies to keep his kneecaps in one piece is going to make some tasty dishes. Just a thought.
For your convenience, I'll be updating this blog in the future as often as I damn well please.

Aren't you already updating this blog as often as you damn well please? Seriously, I have been checking this damn thing like twice a day for the last week or so. Get your shit together man. I account for at least 40 of those hits on your counter and that was just since Monday. If you are going to maintain a blog, try maintaining it. Something you might try is acknowledging the title by updating it each Monday,…after 5 pm. Just a thought. I do agree with you post, however. One thing I do want to mention is the most recent episode of Dane Cook’s Tourgasm on HBO. In this episode he visits the fine educational institution of The Pennsylvania State University. Not only was this the biggest crowd to which he performed the entire tour, it was the best. As he walked off stage after his set, he stopped, turned, and soaked in all that Penn State has to offer. He said that experience at the end of the set, as well as his first experience on David Letterman, were what let him no he made it. The show then closed with him announcing that if the “Comedy Gods” came and took his card away tomorrow, he would be ok with that, because he had Penn State. How fuckin’ cool is that. GO BLUE.

I agree Kev...Like For your convenience, the cigarette lighter has been removed from your rental car and a plug that is impossible to remove has been inserted!! Great if you don't need your cell phone. The Chad...I also so that Tourgasm episode...I teared up when I saw it. WE ARE PENN STATE.
