Things that make you go 'barf'...
Headline in Metro Today: "World Youth Day faces $30-million deficit"
Excerpt: "Organizers are now planning to launch an ad campaign, calling on the goodwill of the public for donations."
Fuck goodwill.
While this Catholic love-in was going on, some people I know commented that it was nice to see this many youths gathered in one place with predominently positive energy. I agree. But is it worth wasting 30 million dollars on? No. For starters, Catholics are the most hypocritical religious group on the planet. This opinion is based not only on having been raised Catholic and being surrounded by them until I left home after high school, but also based on events in the Catholic church that everyone is familiar with, plus stories I heard during World Youth week about attendees asking for directions to the nearest bathhouse, as well as quite a bit of (pre-marital!) sex happening. There is also, of course, the big joke about the word 'catholic', which means, according to Webster's dictionary, "all-inclusive... broad in sympathies, tastes, or understanding; liberal". Tell that to gays, as well as to the entire female population, who are two of their biggest targets for discrimination.
Whenever I think of Catholicism, what I picture is a moldy, ancient book with an inch of dust on it.

Obnoxiousness, thy name is Vin Diesel.
I hereby encourage everyone I know to boycott this cocky idiot's movies.

Okay, now the comments are back and I look like an idiot. Awesome.

It appears the site that provided my 'comments' option has vanished. This is not the first time I have this type of problem with a site that ends in ".co.uk"... My apologies to everyone I wrote to bragging about this wonderful new option on my site. Can we move back into caves now, when things were so much simpler?

Okay, now where the fuck did the 'comment' buttons go???
Please have patience, everyone, and remember we're dealing with a very dull-witted child named Internet.

Latest gripe of mine:
I've noticed (not on my journal) people posting disparaging and/or hurtful comments on other people's blogs without signing their name. I think that's the height of cowardice. It also doesn't give their comments much credence, that they won't even sign their name to them. Reminds me of kids ringing someone's doorbell and running away. It's not so funny when it's presumed grown-ups doing it.

Man, I really hate comma splices. Know what I mean, guys? They just fuck my shit up.

Yay! I've finally got the comments up and running. Don't be shy, people.
Current phrase I overuse: "That being said".
Watch for it!
