Sweat the Small Stuff: Ranting about the little peeves in life
Posted in Animals/Pets on Dec 28th, 2006
This doesn’t happen all that often in my neighborhood, so I shouldn’t complain too much, but what fun would that be? It has happened plenty throughout my life though, so I feel justified.
I wake up this morning, finally feeling better after my 3+ day holiday bug, ready for the day. While getting ready, my wife [...]

I am guessing most people agree, we work hard for our chance to enjoy our time off. Isn’t that a big part of working? I look forward to holidays. Time with my family. Having fun with friends. Not having a schedule, just relaxing and having fun. Why is it that more times than not this [...]

I recently found a great summary of the typical naysayer on the ‘net. This reaches out to most situations like on Digg or Reddit, forums, and comments on blogs. I have to disclaim this hasn’t applied to anyone posting here yet, so no one take offense. Or, take offense if you like, I guess I [...]

Around this time of year many people look back over the year and start to make resolutions for the New Year. What did I do wrong? What can I improve on? Not me! I spend WAY too many Februaries filled with guilt disgusted with the fact I couldn’t keep any of my resolutions! So this [...]
I recently read another blog that had some excellent writing on their personal experiences with kids getting completely spoiled by their parents on Christmas and other holidays. Unfortunately the blog used a fair amount of cursing to get their point across, so I don’t feel all that inclined to link to it from this blog. [...]
I won’t write a long tirade on this one, at least for now, but I read this blog post today and thought I would share it over here as well. If you have ever dealt with customer service for a company, you know exactly who the vocal minority are I mentioned in a previous rant. [...]

Competition often goes hand in hand with anger. I have experienced the rage of people in pick up games or all types when they simply lose it. Often this is because trying to prove they used to have some talent at some time and cannot admit that even if they did at one point, they [...]
