As many of you know i can be seen running around the city of rochester almost daily.
The following is a list of grievances with my surroundings:
People who throw cups of ice at me
People who almost hit me.
The people who occasionally scowl if i have no shirt on.
Bees.
Bad Rochester drivers.
Park Avenue.
People who forget pedistrians have the right of way.

Schooled
I really dislike having adult students in my classes (Im pretty sure andrea already talked about this last year in her blog). Let's face it there annoying. There poorly dressed, awkward and usually have families, and are going back for that second degree or gasp there first one.
Most experiences with them makes me wonder how or why they have gone back to school. Lets face it in america college is pretty much a place to learn and then party ur face off, its about enjoying those days when you can be some what irresponsible. When i look at some of these people I often wondered when there irresponsibility had delivered them to a grateful dead concert.

High-kea
In case you didn't know I love ikea. I don't know why I just do, maybes its the cool showroom, cool lamps, or the fact that just about anything comes flatpacked. Though everytime I go I buy at least one thing I don't need or have yet to use.
#1 on the list is a IKEA PS candlestick . The design is gorgeous and definately unique. The object in question also resembles the virus canisters in the resident evil movie. That prompted initial attraction followed by the urge of I must have this. The object while neat is definately delicate and has a hollow spiral of glass on the inside. I doubt I'll ever use the damn thing except for one day when i need a roach clip. It would probably make a more interesting piece of paraphanlia anyway.

Janet Reno cuts a rug
I remember when SNL was ok. I wasn't old enough to stay up and watch when it was good in the early 90's and such. I find the show to be good, but have always been more of a kids in the hall guy. I was stumbling around on myspace recently and found a copy of Will Ferrel's classic skits "Janet Reno's Dance Party"
The concept is great. Janet Reno locks some kids in her basement. She forces them to dance to "My Sharona" endlessly, and then there would be a celebrity spotlight dance, and a visit from Bill Clinton. Will Ferrel's "Janet" swoons over bill and all is well.
The funny thing is that this actually became a real benefit during the last election. The real Janet Reno threw one in florida as an effort to rally democratic voters. Supposively it was a big hit. But I digress I find it odd when jokes make on SNL become reality.

"Gin is the reason we can't have nice things" - Emily Lynch
I broke my roomates sunglasses the other night in a drunken stupor. Which prompted the above quote. So I went to wikipedia and found this little interesting tidbit.
"Gin became very popular in England after the government allowed unlicensed gin production and at the same time imposed a heavy duty on all imported spirits. This created a market for poor-quality grain that was unfit for brewing beer, and thousands of gin-shops sprang up all over England. By 1740 the production of gin had increased to six times that of beer, and because of its cheapness it became extremely popular with the poor[citation needed]. Of the 15,000 drinking establishments in London, over half were gin-shops. Beer maintained a healthy reputation as it was often safer to drink the brewed ale than unclean plain water. Gin, though, was blamed for various social and medical problems, and it may have been a factor in the high death rate that caused London's previously increasing population to remain stable. The reputation of the two drinks was illustrated by William Hogarth in his engravings Beer Street and Gin Lane (1751). This negative reputation survives today in the English language, in terms like "gin-mills" to describe disreputable bars or "gin-soaked" to refer to drunks, and in the phrase "Mother's Ruin," a common British name for gin."
No wonder that irish woman I met at the bug jar was concerned that I only drink gin.

Automobiles
I fuckin hate my car its too big, guzzles gas, fuckin terrible shocks, is a Pontiac, and now the fucking AC is broken. WTF I want to sell it eventually, So I probably shouldn't be posting this.
On a side note I hate other drivers. Up here in Rochester Im way over aggressive in my car. I chalk up to the fact that I'm from New york city area, where if theres no traffic you fucking floor it, and your always in arush to get everywhere. In Long island one often comes across the discomfort of having to deal with bikers, and people racing pimped out Honda's. I can't stress how many accidents I've almost gotten in to because of pimped out Honda's.
But I digress citizens of Rochester: Learn how to drive.
