KFC Menu and Ordering

I went to KFC the other day, and found out that I have no idea how that place works... at all!! I don't think I'm retarded, but, I couldn't figure out how to order anything on their menu what so ever. It made me feel really dumb. I don't think anyone has ever gone to McDonald's and had to ask the server how to order.

Why is it so hard? I have no idea. I was looking at the menu, and all I saw was some buckets of stuff, some sandwiches, and some potatoes or something. The only reason I even went there was because I desperately wanted a bucket of chicken. No, I don't know why, just seemed like a good idea at the time. After I ordered from the drive up box, they seemed to understand everything I had said to them... "8 piece of chicken wings..." which is all I could think of at the time. Should I have said breasts or penis? Chicken is so confusing to me.

Anyway, after I ordered, I drove up the window, and the server had no idea what I was talking about. Keep in mind, she didn't speak English so that was probably a big factor in the problem. So, I had no idea what she was talking about, she had no idea what I was talking about, and everyone was just confused. So, I ended up with a 10 piece of boneless chicken wings and two orders of potato wedges (by the way, I love potato wedges so much that I might just eat them all the time from now on, as a meal in itself).

I got the food home, thinking that I ordered something that was going to be tasty and awesome. NOOOOPE. It was gross! First of all, there was no bucket involved (which I was very sad about), and they were all dry and tasteless. I ate all the wedges and only ate a couple of the wings. It was all a huge waste of time and money! The whole order cost me over $11!!

So, in conclusion, I will never eat at KFC again, unless I get someone else to order for me (I'm lookin' at you Shebus!). Maybe I just need someone to explain to me how it works there. Or, maybe I just don't care anymore, and now that I failed once, I will just give up on the whole thing. I like that plan. Doin it!

Singing in the Car

My days spent within the normal grind of the world leaves me feeling pretty shitty. A part of me hates the way the real world works and has a great sense of disgust for the normal person in general (no, not you). So, usually my days consist of staying to myself, hiding in my "office", and not talking to anyone unless absolutely needing too. Some weeks I actually seem to end up not saying a single word to anyone. This leaves time for my brain to really go out of control. Some of the thoughts my head can come up with are pretty out there, and extremely angry.

I bet you're saying to yourself "what the hell does that have anything to do with singing in the car jerk face!!", well, hold on, I'm getting there.

Without talking to anyone, or venting my emotions in a verbal fashion, I seem to get incredibly angry, depressed, and unapproachable. This seems to effect my work situation, sometimes my personal life, and my mental health all the time. I was struggling to find a solution that didn't involve actually talking to people that I hate.

I'm sure everyone likes to sing to their favorite song in the car during a long drive. I found out that it makes for a pretty good venting session! Of course, I happen to listen to more hard rock or metal, so my "singing" happens to be more screaming than anything else. This means that after a really intense venting session, I can't really talk well for a couple days. But, I guess that's why I'm not a professional metal band singer. My voice gets incredibly horse after 2 hours of screaming.

Anyway, I thought some of you would like to know this, and who knows, maybe apply it your everyday life. I know there are probably a lot of people out there that don't have the faintest idea on how to vent unwanted emotional build up. So, there's what I do, maybe it will work for you too :)

God's Not Dead

I was surfing the web looking for kids songs for a certain skit we are working on and I stumbled upon a children's song by Ronnie Caldwell called "God's Not Dead". The only reason this kind of blew me away is because it's supposed to be a children's song, and for some reason children think God is dead? Haha, I seriously can't believe I found it AND that it exists!

To listen to it click the URL below
http://freekidsmusic.com/mps1/RonnieCaldwell_GodsNotDead.mp3

When it comes right down to it, I am not a man of faith, so maybe there is something I don't quite know, but, why would people think God is dead? I mean, can God be killed then? And should be it be done in front of children? Maybe I am looking to much into this, but, is this really something children should be listening to anyway?

I think if you can imply that something isn't dead, that means that it can die. And if God CAN die, why is he still alive? Haven't there been thousands of years of war and death based around faith? I'm sure if people knew they could kill the object of faith to their enemies, they would have. I bet they feel pretty dumb right about now. Killing all sorts of people because they believe in something they don't, when they could have just went right to the source?! Tisk tisk...

Anyway, you don't have to listen to the whole song to get my point, just the first minute or so. It's pretty ridiculous, haha.

Dual In Car DVD Player

A little while ago, I purchased a Dual DVD Player and stereo for my car. I was so happy to have it and I was extremely excited to start playing with it. So, I installed it and everything seemed to work very well. I had even figured out how to remove the safety controls that prevent you from watching a DVD while driving. Yes, I like to go a buck 20 while watching Aqua Teen Hunger Force.

Anyway, after a couple months, the damn thing started screwing up pretty bad. It seems to choose which CD's it likes to play. At first, I thought that maybe it just didn't like certain brands of burnable CD's, but no, it just likes to fuck with me. It also over heats like crazy which might have something to do with not playing CD's properly.

The motorized face plate opener is screwing up as well. It tries to open a couple times, gives up, and then gives me the finger. I have no idea where it learned that kind of language, but I don't like it. I have tried physically pushing it open and closed, maybe to get it back on track, but to no avail.

Basically, the only way I can really use my Dual car stereo / DVD player, is by hoking up my computer to the aux in and using windows media player. I suppose it's not soooo bad having to use my computer, but it completely takes away the use of the touch screen on the DVD player. And if you know me, you know how much I love touch screens. So, one of it's coolest features is now rendered useless.

I did try to call people about it, but, everyone had the same answer... "We're sorry, it doesn't look like your warranty can handle that, so eat a dick!". Are you serious?? It's not like a decided to use a hammer for the stylus and my penis as a DVD. Dual won't even back up their shitty products and just say sorry about letting you blow $600 on something that will only last you a couple months. I really think they should have replaced the damn thing. But, I guess it just gives me more reason to hate them.

If I had to make a recommendation on DVD players for your car, I would say to NEVER EVER EVER EVER buy a Dual DVD player. The sad thing, is that I used to hold Dual pretty high up in the brand name world. But apparently they have no idea what's going on when it comes to electronics. They pretty much just succeeded at pissing me off and making me want to piss all over the inside of my car.

The Woman's Bathroom

I was thinking about it today, and women pretty much have their own culture all together. All of this stemmed from watching a couple women go to the woman's room today. One was leaving the bathroom, and the other was entering. It must be weird for the woman entering the bathroom to know who's butt was sitting there right before she sits down. Does that gross her out, or does it just depend on who was leaving the bathroom right before she decided to enter?

I have been told, from popular television shows and friends, that women basically hover over the toilet seat anyway, so it doesn't really matter. Or, they use those toilet seat sheets and toilet paper to cover the toilet seat so they don't have to worry about such things. But, there is no complete way for one person to keep their germs from getting on other person. With that said, women basically piss on each other every day, and in extreme cases, poop on each other as well.

When it comes to a man's restroom, I don't think we really care either way. We pretty much just whip out our dongs and let it fly. That's not to say that the spread of germs within our bathrooms is greater or less than a woman's bathroom. Some might argue that men get less germs from the bathroom, because we don't have to get naked in a sense. But, all that spray gets on our clothes, and then people interact with our clothes. So, I would say, men probably spread more feces than women.

I guess when it comes right down to it, everyone pisses on everyone. It's just a matter of how you feel about it, and what you say to yourself to feel better about it or even completely over look it. Next time you have to go to the bathroom, just piss all over the place, and see who steps in it and brings it into their office space. You can then literally say you pissed on their floor.

I am going to try this today! :)
