don't call it a comeback... who says that?

time for a list of things i hate.... special driving edition
old things i hate here, here and possibly here


now onto the new things i hate about driving!!

as you can tell from past rants i hate driving even though i do it for a living.... so i have lots of little things that make up the whole of why i hate it

1. people who don't understand turn signals, you use it not only to turn but to change lanes you know, and you have to put it on BEFORE you turn so people know ahead of time that you will so they can prepare, it is NOT just something you have to do because it is the law it is something to keep everyone safe, because if you don't do it i will kill you.... you have been warned

2. people who drive to slowly, the speed limit isn't the fastest you can go it is how fast you MUST go (as long as they guy in front of you isn't going slower of course, but then this is directed at that person not you, your ok) going to slow is called impeading trafic and it is just as bad as speeding.

3. people who almost come to a complete stop before turning into a driveway or parking lot. you are still part of traffic even though you have decided you need a double double and a blueberry doughnut (this portion of the rant brought to you by Tim Hortins, coffee is gross)

4. bikers (the pedal kind not the scary kind that kills people in barns) on the road, i know the law here is that they are NOT aloud to be on the sidewalk but that is stupid, what would you rather happen, a person on a bike hit someone walking, yeah it sucks and someone might break a bone at the most, but if that biker was on the road and he gets hit by a car.... no more biker. priorities people come on. and if they are on the road then they MUST obey the road, ie stooping at stop lights, riding on the right side of the road, and remember that impeding traffic thing i mentioned, if you have a pile of cars behind you pull over and let them pass.

5. people who txt or talk on the phone while driving, PAY THE F@#K ATTENTION there is some dick on his bike in front of you!!!

6. dogs in cars, not all dogs in cars, just the ones who sit on the drivers lap, or those ones who move around the car a lot. if your dog can't behave leave him at home. i am not getting tboned because your dog was chewing on one.

7. construction, DAMN IT

8. when it rains and people lose there shit, no one seems to remember how to drive with the addition of water. they are mogwai, little water and watch out a hundred idiots on the road

9. those d-bags who have the 34 inch sub in there trunk that vibrates the bolts off my wheels at the stop light, yeah thanks i kinda need those, and no one likes that lame euro trance you are pumping out at 23452 db thanks

10. people who don't drive in lanes, this includes people who drive in 2 lanes and people who drive through the parking spots on the side of the road when there is no one parked there, its not a freakin lane learn how to drive.

11. when your driving and BAM..... ya gatta go poop.... i don't think i need to explain this.

12. gas... this is not related to the above one, i mean paying for fuel LAME

13. when your driving and you leg cramps.. you can't really stretch it out so you just have to deal with it.

14. when the people at leons yell at you for doing donuts in there parking lot after a heavy wet snow fall.. (this one actually happened to my dad... good times)

15. getting stuck in said snow.

ok that is all i have for today but i am sure there are plenty more, and yes i know there are some good things about driving so its still the best option most times.

and all the ones that take place on the road are only annoying when they are doing it even when it is safe not to, obviously i am not going to yell at someone who is driving 4o in a 50 during a monsoon.

and we shal call it.... this land

so i was thinking about comics earlier (and lets face it when do i not) and i was thinking about why i like characters that i like and such. so what better way to figure it out than to talk it out and provide some good insight into my brain for my thousands and thousands of fans...... (shhh no one tell my ego that that is a lie)

first off the obvious

Green lantern (and since i am starting with him i will stick to DC for now)

this once "2D" character has grown into one of the top dc characters in thanks largely to Geoff Johns .... my hero.

but why do I like him, simpley, because his powers don't rely on the physical as they do the mental, also his powers are routed in creativity, will power and imagination. it is something that a fat kid who likes to consider himself creative can identify with.

i should state that when i was a kid i was into marvel... then when i became too old for comics and stoped it took me until i was in college to get back into them... and when i did that i tended to lean towards dc. also when this happened Kyle was the green lantern, and he was a little bit more the embodiment of the creative aspics of the character, while Hal had more the will power part. to different sides of the same coins.

i like the idea of will power and overcoming fear being able to defeat the bad guy not just punching him REALLY REALLLLLLY hard. though i can see the fun in that too.


ok next dc first stringer

the bat-man

not going to spend a lot of time on him because i don't need too

batman is awesome because he can do anything and yet he has no powers whatsoever, the man is pure determination (though i would call it OCD most of the time)

batman seeks to control the world (or his part of it) because when he was a child he had no control over the fate of his family, never has a mental illness been used as a superpower.

next up

SUPER................boy

yup Conner Kent, F*&$ Kal-el

conner is way more interesting of a character

half superman and half lex luthor torn between his desire to do good and his fear of becoming evil.

he has grown as a character in ways that the real superman wishes he could.
from the teenager who wanted everyone to call him superman, to superboy living in Hawaii just being a normal (with superpowers) teen.
then when he becomes a teen titan and finding out the truth of his past and sacraficing his life to stop superboy prime and Alexander Luthor from destroying reality and of course returning to life... took them long enough

last of the dc's for now

Green Arrow, like batman with out the anger (most of it) and ocd

also the only socialist hero that i can think of

he is funny but opinionated he knows what is right but still is just a human.

i will probably come back soon with the mavel half of this list

blogtrick (like hattrick)

i may have mentioned my tv package has suffered shrinkage so today before work i am stuck watching a limited number of channels, so right now i am on Regis and Kelly, wow, how is this show still on, regis is getting old and forgetful and kelly seems to be getting skinier... i am afraid she is going to vanish before my eyes.... and that's all in 3 min of watching it... *shudder*

this is my third blog this week.... partially because of the aforementioned cable shrinkage and partially because i don't update this enough

i think i need to work on a new things i hate, but i dunno if i have anymore things.... yet i am so full of rage *grrrrr*

i may add regis and kelly to my list
possably pat sajack too

don't stop believing .... seriously don't

so i watched Glee with the wife last night not a bad show and since i will probably have to watch it every week that is a good thing

it does remind me a lot of the movie election, with the over achieving female lead, though she may not be as evil, yet to be determined, also the involved teacher with marital problems tricking the jock kid into the thing he is running (student government / glee club)

also a little bit of Highschool musical, jock playing sports and singing....

i could go on but SHIT i gotta go to work :(

achhooooooooooooooooo.....oooooo

i have had what seems like 3 weeks of heavy allergies .. sneezing runny nose ... needless to say i am extra sexy lately ohhyeah baby

..... speakin of babies!!
as you may know my wife is prego... thus babies.... i had a realization the other day... when my baby is old enough to get into music my fave bands will not be around... bands like metallica who were actually around before I was born, will surly be gone, though hopefully not forgotten. hopefully they will be able to survive the test of time, but what of less popular/famous bands, like say the offspring, awesome band and yes they have been around for a good long while... but will they stay around or am i going to have to introduce my child to them with outdated cd's!! they will think i am crazy? or will they? i mean lots of kids are into rush and led zeppelin and the Beatles still. why not the offspring in 16 years? this is of serious concern to me... i am strange :)


now for a review of last weeks comics

"red" hulk 14: still have no idea who he is.... strating to not care

Teen Titans 74: WHY do they always kill off the ones i like.... first of they killed superboy, over at marvel they killed Icarus, now kid devil all my second (possably third) tier characters are falling to the waist side... good thing they brought superboy back... lesions my pain

flash rebirth 4: lot of info in one issue, i am totally going to have to reread this whole series a couple times once it is done, its beautiful though, you can love it just for the art mmm purdy

Batman the widening gyre 1: kevin smith returns to batman whooot..... since when does poison ivy want to bone batman....love the idea of ivy using pot plants to try and make batman high... classic smith humour all the way through, good story telling much better than Batman: Cacophony, which i just couldn't get into even though i liked onomatopoeia as a villain and apparently only smith is aloud to use him. so a good issue to start off his and walts second series.


thats all i got for now.... need to have a funny blog soon or i may loose Dave as a fan ;)
