poseur

I love the Infinity G35 Coupe. It has nice body lines and flows nicely from front to back. It also has a noticeable exhaust note that is easily recognizable which is like music to my ears. What I don't like about the G35 is when I drive behind one sporting a 'Nissan Skyline 350GT' badge. OK, fine; the G35 is a Skyline in Japan. I get that. But that car is also right hand drive and has more power than the Americanized Infinity version. I don't understand why these people re-badge their cars pretending to be something that it is not. I'll admit, I've gone through many Honda Civics and had my ricer days, but not once did I ever re-badge my car as something else. I definitely had an opportunity to do that on my '00 Honda Civic Si as it was basically a 'poor man's Type-R' but never did I stoop to that level.. I rocked the Si badge with honor!

movie etiquette

Movie experiences are supposed to be entertaining and fun. Do you know what makes them not so fun? Let me start off by saying to Mr. Smell-Good.. lay off the cologne, you do not smell good! One spray is more than enough to mask your funk, but this guy's odor was way overbearing and left a bad taste in my mouth. And now for Mr. Candy-Crinkler.. stop crinkling your candy bag when the movie goes silent. Nobody else wants to hear that annoying sound! And last, but not lease, to Mr. Kicker-Chair.. stop kicking my flipping chair!! I thought I made it obvious by scooting up and looking back at you. Next time, I'll just make a scene and disrupt everyone else's movie experience so we both can look and feel like asshats.

time warner cable

I just lost some respect for Time Warner Cable. How is it that one location of a city has different service compared to another location of the same city? I mean, I still live in the same city, I still pay TW the outrageous high price for mediocre internet service and basic cable.. but yet now that I'm only about 5 miles away from my last location, I get less channels without a cable box. So if I want those 70 channels back, I'm forced to get another cable box... UGH! I don't watch enough television in my bedroom to justify a higher monthly payment but it does justify a nice rant!

Man, Verizon FIOS is looking so much nicer now. Too bad I won't give them another penny for screwing me for 6 months strait and then sending me to collections for a mistake made on their part two years after the fact. You just can't win these days to find a nice service provider that has great customer service and products that they stand by.
