Time to sound off

Things that annoy me...

Comedians that feel that one must "pay" their dues before hitting the big time... I'm sorry to the comedians out there but if you're funny, you're funny and if you're not, well then you're not famous for a reason. Say what you will about today's comedians... Chris Rock, Dane Cook, Dennis Miller, even Carrot Top (I dislike a number of them), but they were able to make careers out of it. I turned on the radio today and came across a comedian who went on a diatribe on the contestants on "Last Comic Standing." This angry fellow went on and on about how these lower tiered "comedians" lacked originality, lacked stage presence, and lacked ability. I've seen "Last Comic Standing," it's a horrendous show, but hey.... at least their doing what they have to do in order to succeed (short of committing a crime). They at least aren't bitching and moaning on some crummy radio show. At least they aren't filibustering until the end of the hour without a coherent thought. Mr. Comedian, who's act is just as horrible (reference: Youtube), you sound like a bitter and petty idiot.


People who refuse to end a conversation... I have friends, co-workers, and
adversaries who do this. If you compliment them, say "hi" to them, or even somehow acknowledge their presence with a head gesture, they'll bind you into an endless conversation. MY GOD, even as you attempt to leave, they'll converse with the back of your cranium. I try to be kind and professional but can't these people take a hint?!? These people aren't idiots... but for some reason when the speak about themselves, their social radars fail as they verbosely discuss their mundane lives . Is it narcissism? Or are they so pretentious that they can't help themselves? Whatever the reasons... I'm walking away.


Ann Coulter.... Ann Cunter (yes I'm being mature :-P)... enough said
