What the crap.

So yeah, I've been pissed off a lot lately, and these next two articles do not help:

To start, we have Mexicans being stupid (no offense to any Mexicans who may be reading this): Crowd jeers eliminated U.S. team with chants of "Osama!".

Does that make ANY sense at all?? WHY would a crowd chant Osama?

I can understand the rivalry between teams, but disgracing our national anthem and then yelling obscenities, while commonplace in all sports, shouldn't be taken so far as to mention an international terrorist WHO WAS PROBABLY RESPONSIBLE FOR KILLING SOME MEXICANS TOO, NOT JUST AMERICANS.

And secondly on my "I'm pissed off and I'm ABOUT TO LOSE IT" list, we have this:

Brooksville may get taste of 'The Simple Life'

ONCE AGAIN PROVING WHY I DON'T WATCH TV ANYMORE.

I will leave unsaid my un-savory reply to that story (ironically, I met the guy who wrote the story today via a journalism field trip from my school - no offense to him concerning the structure of the story, it's the content thanks to FOX that bugs me).

However, my sugar-coated response goes something like this:

SCREW YOU, FOX.

As much as I dislike Brooksville and its lacking of just about everything cool (we've got a Sonic coming in, so that's a plus... but the movie theater shut down, the Wal-Mart is boring, and nothing else is cool in this town... parking lots are where I hang out, to give you an idea of the lackingness), I take offense to this story because the rest of the whole freakin' NATION would be on our tails about being podunk and a redneck town.

It's much like being fat. Fat people can call themselves and other fat people fat, but once a skinny person like myself calls them fat, it becomes diss material. Same with racial terms, among other things.

Point is, you don't mess with my friggin' town or I mess with you. Period.

I'm not sure HOW I mess with you... but you don't wanna know anyway. I'll think of something.

POINT IS:

Don't diss my town.
