Clothing~I hate it!

I have an issue. a big fat large butt issue. and this comes from my awesomes friends blog, the maddieter, from just a single line in her blog I have an issue. It's about clothing, and their sizes.

I have four pairs of pants in my closet.  Four. And all four have different sizes, okay so this is okay. Yet what is not okay is the fact that the pair with the smallest listed size falls off my hips, and I have to wear a belt.  The largest size doesn't fit me at all.  They are too small.  Yet they are the same cut, the same women's work slacks.

This is my issue.  I am dieting too, working on dropping a few extra pounds and I am so confused at our loving societies trying to make the larger people feel better.  I want to be a size like 8 or something and now, I have a pair of size 8 pants that fit me great, so should I stop dieting?  But the size '20' somethings that I have are too tight. So does that mean I am already a size 8 because we changed the sizing to make me feel thin, even though I need to lose the extra weight to be healthy.

I don't get it. I don't understand and it makes me feel so damned sick with our society.  I mean, if you are big and healthy then wear you clothes and don't be ashamed!!! If you are big and unhealthy, get off your lard ass and exercise, stop eating garbage and pay attention!!!!  Don't buy crap just to make yourself feel better. OHHH so your in a size 6 dress. But take a tape measure around your wide hips and lard belly and find out how big you really are and make yourself fit the damned clothes the way they were made!!

I know I might sound evil about this, but the stupid assholes that insist on lying to themselves are just hurting the rest of us whom want to make the best effort and become healthy, move around and stop watching tv and like I keep saying THINK DAMNIT.

SO It's Been a Few Days

... ERR weeks, shoot me.

SO I got Dishonored and like NOM NOM NOM it is woot amazing. My favorite thing to do is to run guards into walls of light so they go 'bbbsbabzbbzbzbzbzlabt' and turn to ash on the floor.  I wish I could get screen shots, but two things are stopping me, 1: I am too lazy. and 2: See number one.  I love the game though~ Youtube it, I am pretty sure that playthru's are already being posted, for you nongamer types.

But I forgive you all.

So I found a really cool online drawing sketchy thingy that has eaten my soul.

I have had an Epiphany

I must make a confession: My other half and I are Youtube addicts, but not for the stupid dog riding skateboards, but for intelligent conversations like AronRa, The Living Dinosaur, and all of their friends. Yes, they are all atheists, but they are SANE. They believe in science, in morality and in, well life.
 (the Living Dinosaur is NOT work safe)
Having said that, while watching The Living Dinosaur- my other half and I got into a conversation and google got invovlved and I found this: Secular Humanism.  And I like this, it makes sense with me.

And THIS Amsterdam Declaration.  It makes so much sense it hurts my brain as to WHY is this not more widely accepted, and not argued. Because it is argued, a lot. A LOT. So much for that it makes my last rant on editing look like I was walking through the park.

I never really thought about it before, that as a race, as a people -- all of humanity is what I am talking about-- would be living on Mars, or at the bottom of the ocean, if we could all stop arguing about these kinds of stupid things.

Stupid things, like Evolution vs. Creationism. Ahem.

Now, I am NOT out to bash regions.  I believe in equality and your right to believe anything you want, and I do truly believe that faith works, and works well for some people.  Some of our top scientists have faith in their own religions. But these people THINK.

Here are a few people who don't think- Just so you know what I am talking about--

Ian Juby (please please watch this video- it is painful, and proves my point almost perfectly)
(if you want more examples like these, please comment and ask.  I will give them, or if you have questions why I think that these people DON'T think, just ask.)
Ray Comfort

Kent Hovid

And I can keep going, and I probably will- later. 

Get Over Yourselves. Damnit.

Ii do not own Borderlands or anything to do with it. I bought the game, I own that, but yeah, had to disclaimer.

I am sooo tired. I am super-duper-retardedly stupid tired of editing.   We, as American's in our wonderful so-called society, edits EVERYTHING.  EVERYTHING!!! I mean EVERYTHING.

So I am ranting about an a really great game that just came out, Borderlands 2 and the the in store graphics are EDITED!

Here is the image UNEDITED, the way nature and the artist wanted it to be (notice the two hands symbolizing the fact that this is the second game and NOT the first.)

And in the store it has NO hands, just the-- ugg the graphic looks sooo bad, (or look for yourself, it's at all major department stores that sell baby clothes next to the grocery isles, I went to take a picture and was denied.)



Now why I am ranting about this, is for the same reason that I want to rip stupid parents tongues out through their eye sockets when they complain about a board game called SmartAss (you know like the donkey, it even has a giant picuture of an ass on it.) and these upity parents say that it's vulger and shouldn't be sold anywhere where kids can see it.  The game is rated for like 12 years plus...



I mean really people.  WAKE up.  I know I cannot be the only human being left on the planet that believes that if you shelter children they are too soft to make ANY kind of life choice. And I'm not even talking about the difficult ones, just - what color of socks are they going to wear, kind of choices.

More ranting later, and again I apologize I could not get a shot of the edited picture.  Because you know, it's soo wrong. ahem.  

MUSIC

So I must deviate a bit from my norm.  Although I really don't have a norm, but still.  I have to share a very important part of my life:  MUSIC

Using a new site I just found:   TasteKid I have found some new-to-me bands that I have to share, because the music is awesome--

*****UPDATE  9/20/12*****

Okay so this made me laugh.  On my way into work this morning they (they being VDOT) said that all of the construction would be postponed because of the horrible conditions of last week.  We are talking 6,7,8 hour back ups in three days.  AWFUL horrible terrible traffic jams.  And they still don't consider the bridge (not bridge tunnel) a 'main route across the bay.  I truly hope that the officials of this area learned a valuable lesson~at the expense of all of those people who where trapped in traffic for like all day.  I mean people were calling in 'stuck in traffic' to work, because by the time the traffic started to move- their shift was over. I luckily was not one of those poor saps, but still.  What did the construction crews and highway officials think would have happened? 

I am still laughing about this, and will be until they announce their next BRILLIANT plan for our roads.


Our roads are bad, like tire busting bad, and I am talking major highways.  So logically road work is in order.  Welll, the lovely common wealth that I so happen to reside in has decided to work on every major highway, by way and surface street at once, with multiple construction zones with in a 10 mile stretch, some of which forcing drivers to drive in the shoulder.  They are intelligent enough to do almost all of their work at night... when I have to drive through it.

So that doesn't sound too terrible right? Really it's not, but what is, is when the area in which I live is like the WORST, I mean WORST when it comes to car accidents.  We have at least 4 a day- four that slows down one highway or another. So add this with the construction, and some nights I don't get to drive, I get to inch down the road- I could probably walk the 40 miles home faster.  No kidding.

Now let's add another layer to this fun filled driving nightmare. There are only three ways between the two major metro areas, two are tunnels and one is a draw bridge.  The tunnels get backed up, one direction or another, at least once a day- and the bridge goes up at least once a day, if not twice- during rush hours.  So in the Department of Transportation's infinite wisdom they are closing down one direction of one of the major tunnels for three weekends in a row and one direction of the draw bridge for the same amount of time leaving ONE way for me and the rest of the cracker jack drivers to get to work.  ONE WAY.  With three ways, I am lucky to not get slowed down, or have to find an alternate route- NOW they are leaving NO alternate and forcing every one through a very tiny funnel - OUT of my way mind you - during the WEEKENDS. When everyone is driving to go out, to go to the beach while the weather is still nice, to shop, to take the kids to sports, and concerts and all the other stuff we have to do around here- which is a lot, and which is scattered across like 7 cities that makes up two metro areas.

This makes me want to cry.

EEEEEE New Game!!!

Okay, really, not new but new to me.  Persona 4 Arena on PS3!  I has it because of amazing budgeting and it is gooooood.

Check it out! Youtube it if you have to, and if you're not a fan of Shin Megami Tensei I pity you and your soul.



Also I found a new veggie that was cooked for me and I ate, well again not new per se but you know - Fried asparagus is like AMAZING. (and it took me five times to spell it close enough to get spell check to actually agree that I was looking for the word asparagus and not supergrass.)

Another note about games:

Really this is a note to game developers, and publishers-- PLEASE if you put a 'manual in the case, make it complete! Don't put in half of the stuff you see on the screen, and leave out the important parts!!!
