One of the things that really annoys me during winter snow storms is all the media hype. I live in the northeast of the country, and a person who resides in that area should be well prepared for what's going to happen, especially given at least a day's notice. The problem lies in the mass hysteria of such storms. I see the main news as the weather: what's expected and how people are preparing for it. Why for fuck's sake, must I watch 10 minutes of typical crap when I really want to find out what's going on in the world first?

The markets are all packed with white trash people stocking up on milk, bread, eggs, various other groceries (including condoms to pass the time away somehow). I mean, it's going to snow during the night and by the time you fucks wake up in the morning, the roads will be plowed (depending of course on the city, town, village you reside in), and the kiddies will be all ready to go out and make a couple bucks shoveling poor Mrs. Johnson's walk. Why oh why are you expecting it to snow like you won't be able to escape your house and go to work or to the store? To quote my friend: "the same people who stock up are the same people who bitch about the snow the entire time they're in line"... this coming from a person who used to work in a grocery store when he was a younger age.

The media loves to get their jollies getting all the citizens of their viewing area hyped up about anything. From snow storms to terrorist attacks. These people won't rest until they've given the population something to gripe about. Have we really turned into a country where we have nothing better to do than to bitch and complain and whine about events that have no relevance or impact on their life? Granted, a snow storm has an impact on the person's life, but it's not going to be the matter where you're going to be locked in your house for a week looking for something to do as you go absolutely stir crazy.

And on a different matter, I can't stand the fucking heat in my house. I mean, it's old radiator heat and I can't figure out a proper level of heat to thermostat control ratio and now I'm boiling in this shitty room of mine and I can't think. If this post makes no sense at all, go bitch to someone who cares - not me!
