idiots...
what's worse than being stuck behind slow people going up the many flights of stairs within the parking structure? being stuck behind slow people WHO SMOKE!!! basically this guarantees that you're going to be going much slower than average, i mean, how many smokers do you know that can easily make it up 14 flights of stairs without slowing down or needing to catch their breath? regardless of that, it really baffles me that there are still people (especially our age, or students of any kind) that smoke. for all the people who get cancer because of other causes on this planet, these people are just taking their own gambles by poisoning themselves. if you ask me, THEY should be the ones who get cancer and clear the way for smarter individuals. seriously, there is no excuse, and yes, i feel strongly about that.
why do the nuts at blockbuster CONSTANTLY try to get me to join their 'blockbuster rewards program'??? everytime i go there i have to be hassled by the same people...i KNOW they recognize me and know i havent accepted it the previous 50 times, but yet they still give me the same speech. the 'rewards' program allows you to get one 'favorites' movie with any other movie rental you make (new or old). now, the 'favorites' movies are all old movies. why the heck would i want to watch old movies? me and my roommates already OWN all the old movies we want to see, so this does me no good. you can't use this little bonus rental thing every day either, its limited to MTW...yeah, BIG movie-watching nights. if it were the other days of the week it MIGHT be worth it, but its not. i was part of this for a couple years when i lived back at my old apartment. back in the day there was absolutely nothing to do, so this 'rewards' club was somewhat useful.
as we all know, i go to a lot of movies in theaters...that is an understatement. those movies that i dont get around to seeing in theaters, i rent. i dont rent old movies, and there are hardly any exceptions. these people need to stop hassling me before i take my business elsewhere...to someplace like campus video...right. that place sucks big time. guess i'll just have to start making up more clever excuses; so far the following have not dissuaded these people:
"im not sure if i'll be renting many movies this month" - this doesn't work because lately i've been in there just about every weekend...this will all change pretty much after this weekend at which point everyone at the tank will have to buckle down and get a lot more work done.
"i'll run it by my roommates and see what we decide" - i'm the one who is usually in charge of renting, so they don't get much say anyway. that and damon and james usually depend on me to make those decisions or we end up renting something like 'random hearts' or 'march of the p*nguins'.
"i only rent new releases" - they try to combat that one with the fact that for every 5 rentals you get a free one for anything. well i won't be renting much in the near future, and for some reason this doesn't appeal to me at all. i don't want to give them any more money.
some new ones im going to try:
"im going to be downloading all my movies from the internet from now on"
"i dont like the name 'blockbuster rewards' and until it changes im not going to join"
"i'm giving up watching movies for lent" - this is obviously a seasonal one, and wont happen anyway.
"throw in about 20 boxes of M&M's and you got a deal"
"i only rent movies in beta max"
ok well its time to get some sleep...still a lot of work to do in preparation for Tank IV coming up this weekend, and of course some real, actual work. good night <:><

i know i've posted one similar to this in the past, but here is another shot. this was my first gar caught on hook & line (this past September in Miami, FL). i was pretty happy about catching this fish!
