Better late than never.....

Here's my list of complaints and grievances vs. Society. As always, its cheaper than therapy.

First, I'd be slacking if I didn't at least mention the creepiest guy I've seen in a long time, this John Mark Karr guy. I don't get it. Who admits to a murder that they didn't commit? Am I missing something? I like to think I'm a pretty good judge of character, and I knew right away that this guy was full of crap. Now, I still believe he belongs in the creepy guy Hall of Fame. No doubt about it. I'm sure he's guilty of something, but we just need to figure that part out. One interesting theory I heard was that he was facing time in a Thai prison, and he decided to "confess" in order to get the hell out of that country. Not sure how familiar everyone is with Thai prisons, but I've heard that they aren't the most hospitable. At the very least, I think he should be charged with obstruction of justice for impeding the investigation here in America.

Not so much of a complaint, but has anybody noticed that the number keys on a phone start with 1 in the upper left hand corner and work their way down, and on a computer keyboard it's the reverse? I am 27 and I just figured this out. Warrants mentioning.

Is there a Spanish internet? I mean there has to be. In fact, I would think that there have to be a bunch of different internets for all of the foreign languages. (ok, as a side note I just tried "google Spanish." It looks like its the same internet, but a different segment for various languages.)

(........Crosses "Spanish internet" off list of things to investigate further)(Remaining items include "why Treat Williams hasn't won an Oscar" and "find nude pictures of the chick from Invincible.")

Back to the complaints. And this one is a biggie. As I was flipping through the channels the other night I noticed a film on TV. The film in question was SlapShot 2. For those of you not familiar with the original Slap Shot films, it is the story of a minor league hockey team that finds success once it resorts to extreme violence. Highly regarded as one of the best sports movies of all time. Anyway, Slap Shot 2 is its illegitimate brother. It makes Godfather 3 and Caddyshack 2 look like great ideas. All I will say is that it stars Stephen Baldwin. Enough said. Anyway, the only reason that I bring this up is that the movie was showing on AMC. That's the same AMC, as in American Movie Classics. Ah.....no. We really need to tighten up security over there. I wouldn't want someone from outside the country to get the wrong impression of us. The international community already hates us for so many things. No need to add cinematic integrity to the list.

~Till next time.
