peeved.................

The question of "what is your pet peeve" is a little difficult for me to answer. This is due to the fact that people just irritate me in general and it's hard to narrow down how they infuriate to one simple answer. I can however, list a few of the most prominant pet peeves I have. The use of internet slang and abbreviations such as "lol" and "omg" really rub me the wrong way, I have no true reason for this it just angers me greatly, esspecially when someone uses it in an actualy conversation, that just shows signs of stupidity. Another would be when teenagers talk so frequently about how drunk they're going to get, almost makes steam shoot from my ears. Do you really think anyone cares? Do you truly think that people will respect you for being an itoxicated mess, vomiting down a flight of stairs at your buddy's place? Don't get me wrong, I like the occasional chilly beer on a warm summer's day, but I'm not acting as if I'm king of the planet with almighty powers. Now some of you will read this and think "that's not true, your just being retarded", well the thing is a lot of people do act this way. Maybe it's because of family issues or low self-esteem, I really don't care. If you're going to talk about this, do so at a volume which my cynical hearing and pessimistic mind can't pick up on it and predict when your going to die of a combination of alcohol poisoning and moronic behaviour. This got a little longer than I originally intend and so I'll end this post with a simple message, smarten up people.

yeah that's dignified.....

records........................

I am a dying breed. A breed of people who actually go out, away from their computer screens and interact face to face with strangers to buy music. Yes we are dying breed, with the easy access of music being constantly streamed on the interent it's no wonder why record sales have dropped and fewer and fewer people are actually buying music. I personally continue to purchase CD's because I prefer having a physical copy of my music, it just has this feeling to it that downloads just don't and you can't deny that a large collection of CD's looks fabulous when put up on shelves and racks and what not. Though I do understand why people are downloading and why bands are perfectly fine with it (for the most part, cough cough Metallica). It's easy and efficient way to get a bands music to their audience and without having to wait for the production of albums to be finished, the only ones who are getting hurt by this are the record companies and who gives a damn about those greedy corporate rats. Now this is not to say that CD's are completely dead, for I have noticed when a person really does enjoy a band, they'll go out and buy their albums to support said band. They've even started to release newer works on vinyl, imagine that, a musical technology that began in the early decades of the 20th century still being used in our day in age. Now regardless of how you feeling about downloading, I just want to voice a bit of my opinion on a subject that I truly love, and remember to support your local record stores.

Isn't this just a beautiful sight, why wouldn't you want this around?
