One of those days...

Today has sucked ass. So has tonight. I am flat out irritated with anything and everything.

It all started with Comcast (doesn't it always) coming early for a change to see why my cable blows goats. Usually when Comcast says they will come to your residence between 4-6 it means 5:45. Not today. Knowing past circumstances I thought I would leave work around the latest possible time I could. So I left at 4:15 and sure as shit, he calls as soon as I leave when I am on 494 gridlock. At that point, I knew the chips were stacked against me. I felt like Jeff Gordon weaving through traffic risking a speeding ticket at every bend of the road. I knew it was a risk to speed but wanted to take advantage of the cable guy actually showing up for a change so I pressed my luck. What a joke. Bright side is that he fixed the cable or found the problem so that my HD channels that I pay $85 for actually work. That was just the start.

After the cable guy left I wanted to go work out in our gym where there are two treadmills and two elliptical. I wanted to run tonight but that didn't happen thanks to two people walking on the fucking treadmill. Why walk on the treadmill??? Go walk around the mall or some shit. Some people actually want to get a workout in. Walking on the treadmill when you are 250 pounds for 20 minutes doesn't do shit! Oh yeah and that Powerade you are drinking while walking means that you are probably consuming more calories than you are burning. Get a clue. I applaud that you attempted to try something that isn't going to work but still, go back to your apartment and eat a bag of leaves you moron!

After working out not on the treadmill and hurrying up to get done because the Gophers basketball team played at 6, the night of disappointments continued. The Gophers took a shit on the court. Two words for tonight's performance...fucking pathetic! I think fans got ahead of themselves when they thought the Gophers were actually good this year. Cake-walk non-conference schedule filled with shitty teams...same old shit. Win at the Kohl Center against Wisconsin, yeah a good win but Wisconsin has now lost three in a row and just got beat by Iowa. Lets slow down Gopher fans...we are not there yet. Not even close! Typical in what I call "loserville"...

So my night continued to kick me in the nuts when I decided to quit watching the game and head to Target to get a few things for groceries. So after walking around and getting a few things and spending 30 minutes in the store, on my way towards the checkout I realize I don't have my wallet. Not only did I not have it in my car, I left it at home. I just threw up my hands and bailed on my cart in the middle of the store. Unreal...at this point I am considering to go crawl up in a ball and just avoid everything.

So after getting into my car and heading home with my tail between my legs, I had some change in my car so I stopped at Holiday and got a Coke and now I am setting sail with Captain Morgan.

Moral of the story, when life kicks you in the junk repeatedly, mix a drink and set sail.

Happy Fucking Thursday

Comcast Sucks Shit

Now that its 2009, I feel refreshed. I realize that I have been slacking on my blog and readers quality of life just hasn't been the same. But with a new year comes a new blog with all the rants and raves that you have all grown to love and I intend to provide emotional and cynical takes on random topics here in the middle of Loser Ville USA to help get you started off on the right foot in 2009.

First off let me start with this...Comcast sucks shit!

Not only is Comcast overpriced for a shitty product, the employees are retarded. I have spent too much of my life either on the phone or online chatting with a rep because of constant problems with my cable. I overpay for HD channels that don't come in and for some reason they cant seem to get it right. First it was "reset your cable box," then it was "we will send a signal to the box," followed by "bring your box in and we can replace it." Lastly we will send out a tech person to your apartment sometime between the hours of 10 am-7 pm sometime this week and then they don't show. No call, no show, no nothing.

Well Comcast three strikes and your out. Wait a minute, I have no other option. I have to settle for this sucky ass overpriced cable option with bad customer service. How can they get away with that? Its because when you live in an apartment you have no other option. If I had my choice I would get DirectTv but that is just a fart in the wind when you live at Southview Gables.

I cant believe that a company like Comcast can grow and make money with the kind of service they provide with the helmets that they have working for them. I think they are actually robots behind the scenes answering phones and chatting online.

"Welcome to Comcast...we know our service sucks...deal with it...you have no other option..."(in a robot voice). Only robots could provide this type of heartless service because if the company was actually run by humans, human instinct would take over and sympathy would be felt towards its customers and prices would drop and productivity would flourish.

I feel bad for others that have felt the wrath of Comcast and its overall suckiness throughout the years. At least we have the Vikings game on Sunday we can watch on TV...black out anyone? Simply ridiculous.

Hoping to be Comcast free in 2009!
