Re: My Personal Rants......... add yours..

With the search function, there should not be a million posts about:

Which replacement pickups should I put in my guitar? (It's a personal preference anyway and you shouldn't always rely on others as to what will sound best in YOUR guitar.)

How can I set up my Floyd Rose? (People who complain about the Floyd really need to learn to strech their strings and set the thing up right.)

Berkley Graduates who all sound the same.
Players who think Malmsteen sucks. Think about it.. how can a true guitar player even make such a statement.

How can I hate Thin Lizzy? Easily. I'm not saying they weren't talented but I think their songs are gay as hell and sound like bad 70s music (wait, it WAS bad 70s music). They remind me of these guys down the stree from my house in the 70s that would wear tight baseball jerseys, leather vests and some sort of floppy hat and play their JC Penney and Sears guitars in the garage and play bad AC DC covers.

I'm 33 so I don't know if that makes me old or young. But I can say their music makes me want to vomit. It's also horribly produced and very flat sounding.

I also hate The Who, The Ramones, George Thoroughgood, and KISS.

I can appreciate all music but that doesn't mean I have to like it.

I got my B.S in Kinesiology (Exercise Science and Coaching). I managed a gym for a couple of years while I finished up school. My pet peeves include the frat boys who come in to work out their chests and arms every day, then wipe their sweaty foreheads off with the bottom of their shirts so they can see their abs in the mirror. Guys who inform others on the "proper" way to train, and when I say "proper", I mean the proper way to hurt yourself the fastest. People who come in to "work out" only to do a set, and then monopolize the equipment for a half hour while they talk to their friends about how shitfaced they got the night before. I'll think of more later.

Hmm, "insufficient packing" denial of claim, whether it's UPS, USPS, Fed EX or Fed UP.. I don't care. It's been packed well, marked fragile and given extra insurance.. does it need an invisible shield straight out of Star Trek?

Neck twists,.. what a waste and frustration.

Floyds that are not setup properly!

Someone who tells me how to do my job, or worse yet drive! Hey, if I crash..then it's my own fault. [img]images/icons/tongue.gif[/img]

Bad coffee.

Bad Beer

Bad Pizza

Heartburn.. after said 'bad' items.

I have to admit tho.. I have spent a great deal of time upgrading my gear and less time practicing.. so I am guilty of this. I know that gear doesn't make the musician, it's practice. I played on the same guitar for 15 years..now I'm rather spoiled, but I figure after 15+ years of playing on the same cab, the same guitar..it is almost embarrassing to have the luxary of getting those things I couldn't afford, let alone buy back then. A person doesn't need as much gear as I have.. of that I'll be the first to admit. One axe, one amp, one suit, and alot of practice and talent. It worked for Chet Atkins.

What really gets me is the fairly hot or pretty good looking stripper who, after peaking your interest, turns around and bends over to reveal a huge blemish on her ass.

> Criminals rights. Let's say you see someone breaking in your car,and you kick their ass. They get to sue you for X amount,and win,suffering no penalty for attempted vehicular burglary. This is BULLSHIT.

> Young white kids doing everything in their power to be black,instead of themselves.

> Guys that dye their hair blonde to look more like Eminem.

> Reality TV.

> The noises that women's shoes make,especially that snap-snap-snap sound that flip flops make.

> ANYONE that wears sandals after the age of 8.


> Overly-religious people,and people that fake their religion to keep up their image of good citizens.

> Meth. How can anyone put the result of mixing battery acid,lithium,ephedrine,and anhydrous ammonia in their system? Also the fact that while the law enforcement here is making it real tough to get away with,it's letting the goddamn crack community run wild.

> Bands that play the same Creed,Blink,and Nickelback songs every week,and manage to look less and less enthused than the original,if possible.

> Singers in bands now that can't sing for shit,or sound smacked out,like Creed,Nickelback,and Blink.

> Bands where only the guitar player can really play,but is not allowed to do a solo while rest of the band takes a break,cause the singer is this upscale yuppie type that says solos suck and says this band doesn't need to "brag on it's dick" by soloing.

> Movies without at least one dick joke,LOL.

> Chick flicks.

> Chicks that think Marilyn Manson is fine.

> Chicks that think that toe rings will somehow make their feet attractive to the rest of the world. Not a chance,no one has "pretty/cute" feet,so stop painting the nastiest part of your bodies bright red.

> Women that spend 50-60 bucks to get their hair and nails done,put on a shitload of jewelry,then go to work and stand around with their thumb up their ass,not wanting to get their new 'do messed up.

> Gold-digging women.

> Men that won't hold a job to keep from paying their child support,or continually cause problems for their childrens mothers,such as stalking,continued aggression,threats,and other such bullshit.

> Women that keep going back to the same guy that constantly kicks their ass.

> People that argue and shit on message boards and in chat rooms. I saw a quote somewhere that said arguing in chat is like winning in Special Olympics,even if you win you're still retarded.

> Kids that do all the mods to make a car look fast,with no actual muscle.

> People that think that pro-level pool isn't a sport.

> People that see a movie,get inspired by the subject matter,like The Fast And The Furious,8 Mile,The Color Of Money,Star Trek or whatever,and base their lives around trying to fit into that subculture or live that life,then quit and move on to something else.

Re: My Personal Rants......... add yours..

Tommy D, I think I like you man! Not to mention we have the same name.....Tommy D (my mother still calls me tommy).

My intense dislikes:

uncivilized people: this includes people with no manners or are otherwise discourteous to people around them.

people who are loud...this includes the same baboon who just happens to be walking 4 feet behind you at the mall yet finds it necessary to bellow or bark some unintelligible greeting to another animal 50 feet away. Of course, this is done with no concern shown to the people who you just screamed in the ear of.

Also among the loud are the groups of "people" who, for some odd reason that only those with a similar IQ would understand, have to laugh, carry on, yelp, hoot, holler, and/or talk amongst themselves at a level that permits people 2 blocks away to hear every word or utterance.

People who repeat the same moronic phrase over and over and over again apparently with the belief that they are somehow impressing people with their behavior. This can best be seen by watching trash like Jerry Springer where, when the ineveitable confrontation happens, you get that one lady (imagine the visual if you will) who has to repeeatedly say, "how you goin' sho!?"
a minimum of 9 times. How 'bout a new statement for a change...we got the point the first 6 times you said it.

That imbecile who has to bob and weave behind the tv news reporter doing a remote broadcast flashing either a) gang signs. b) peace sign. c) waving erratically. d) mouthing some greeting to their friends and family. e) trying to act like they are not trying to catch some tubetime. f) or that inbred piece of white trash who, in a drunken stupor, jumps up and down, makes faces, or otherwise commits acts that suggest that he is actually the missing link.

Minivan drivers: while this doesn't need much explanation, what the hell. These people buy minivans because that vehicle is a direct reflection of their personalities. Minivan drivers invariably are the cause of the 13 car caravan of autos that you are in the back of as it rolls down the interstate at 61 mph. Look, up ahead and tell me what vehicle is at the head of that pack of cars. * out of 10 times, it's a minivan. They ramble along at just under the speed limit either oblivious to what's going on around them or with the malicious intent of blocking the passing lane, all the while trying to look as innocent and polite as possible. Many times, you'll notice that the rear window of these minivans has either a "my kid is an honor student" sticker, a "baby on board" flag, some sticker with a rant about Bush or something, etc.

Then there's the people who, in any car, intentionally try and fukk with people by sitting in the passing lane when there isn't a car to pass for 2500 feet. It is impossible to identify any one type of person who does this but I often find that it's either a) some airhead slut with her hair in a pontytail who is simply trying to be a ***** . b) some 30-something guy who sees himself as "Johnny Civilian Patrolman" who's aim it is to impede other people using the highway from travelling at any speed he thinks they shouldn't drive at. or c) an older person who, can't stand these young whipper-snappers driving like maniacs.
In the case of the older person, I can see why old age can cause them to drive a bit slower and if anyone has a right to impede my forward movement, it is them. After all, they probably don't act with malice.
In the case of the other two.....I always thought it'd be funny if I followed the dumb airhead ***** , found her boyfriend, and said, " I'm terribly sorry but, because your little girlfriend has opted to behave like a ____, it is only proper that you sustain a royal ass beating. With the lone male laneblocker who probably is an ACLU Charter member, I always think that doing crazy shit until they soil themselves is always a fun way to handle it and nobody gets hurt.

At the opposite end of the spectrum are the guys in their Chevy pickups or whatever brand for that matter (I just despise Chevy) who, despite the fact that you might be going 85 mph AND in the act of passing a vehicle (after which, I always move OUT OF THE PASSING LANE) find it necessary to move up to within 12 inches of your ass end . This is preposterous and a classic example of penis-envy. Let me explain: these guys drive their trucks as a sort of extension of their penis, which is probably lacking in some area. The truck makes them feel intimidating and, since they can't swing their Johnson with authority, they use the truck instead. I should add here that I, in fact, drive a 2003 Ford F-150 Supercrew FX-4 during those times of the year when I don't drive my other cars. I don't, however, drive the thing up people's asses to show how cool or tough I am.
Guys like this make we want to use their groin as a golf tee on a long par-4....whoops, I guess that's what they call a divot, huh? [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

-People who go to church religiously on Sunday, but for every day during the week, they lead the most hypocritical life imaginable. Yep, this is the family you see each Sunday in their minivan driving to church in the passing lane of the highway with a line of 50 cars behind them, at 3 miles under the speed limit. When you finally do get aroud them, the driver, usually the father figure of the family, gives this "holier than thou" look. Ironically, this is the same guy who's been banging his wife's best friend for the last 8 months.

-Liars...I hate liars. Look, if you did something wrong or something that could be perceived as wrong, tell the freakin truth. Don't lie more to cover up the lies you already told (you= anybody...not anyone in particular).

Greedy people- capitalism is great, greed is not. It's one thing to make a profit off of a service or good if the price was fair, the claims about the item are factual, etc. But when the goal becomes making a ridiculous amount of money or profit simply because you've found an easy mark or whatever, it becomes greed. I hate greedy people because they are also liars and they will do anything they can to get one over on you.

Finally- infidelity: At the PD I worked at, there were a number of guys who were catting around on their wives. I would never, ever, even think of cheating on my wife. You could toss a million bucks in front of me and say, "if you knock boots with, say Jennifer Aniston, you can have this money", I'd say, "hell no!" People who cheat on their spouses are trash. I don't care how bad it is at the crib, if you made a vow to be faithful, then fukkin be faithful.

Well, there you have it, my main pet peeves. Yeah, some may sound a tad extreme and it's probably evident that I sit pretty far to the right on some matters...but hey, that's what this post was for.
