  • Tonight was just one of those Cubs games that make you want to jab somebody in the eye with a sharp stick. There are frustrating loses throughout a season, but fuck me if this game didn't piss me right the fuck off. All I can say is that they should have won this damn game, plain and simple. With Soriano now being out, I fear that this might be the start of the great decent back to the reality of the Cubs being an average team. I should be used to it by now, but I'm not.

    The people in my former department had a farewell party for me today at work. I wish I could say it was a surprise, but it was leaked to me last week before I went on vacation. In addition to pizza, they also had a Cubs cake for me which was really cool. I even joked that I now know what winning tastes like. Yeah, I'm a fucking dumbass.

    I have never been one to be into reality shows or game shows. That being said, I'm kind of getting hooked on this show on the Game Show Network called Without Prejudice. Let me explain the show. 5 contestants are vying to win $25,000 and all they have to do is be themselves. 5 other people vote on who wins, just based on who they are. The judges keep voting people off until all of a sudden POOF! there is one person left. Personally, I think they can spice it up by having a lap dance round, but I guess that might be over doing it. Anywho, I was watching the show tonight because the Cubs were busy pissing me off. I didn't catch the entire episode, but it came down to a gay guy who is married to another guy and they have 2 kids, the other finalist was a 24 year old mother who is on her third marriage. Yeah, I'm with you, how the hell can she be on her 3rd marriage and is not even 25 yet. She has had as many marriages as cars that I have owned, that can't be good. How can you say you love this person for the rest of your life and expect to be taken seriously? Wait, I'm starting to prejudge her. Anyhwho, one of the bigoted judges asked the gay guy "so when did you decide to become gay?". I so wanted him to say to her "So ignorant bitch, when did you decide to become black?" but obviously saying that would not be in his best interest of getting the money. Still, its a very interesting show which can really help you learn not only about others, but about yourself. Its interesting to see how and why people think the way they think. Everybody likes to think they don't discriminate or are not bigoted in anyway, but honestly, I think we all have our own prejudices. See, take me for example. I've always had an issue with chicks that wear bow ties. Wait, bad example..............an overwhelming majority of females don't wear bow ties. Better example is how I prejudge Republicans and some Christians to be bigoted and/or judgemental. Then again, it just seems like most of them are. Also, unlike race, sexual orientation, or gender, people can choose their religion or what they want to believe politically. Also, they clearly have a choice to be a bigot. Still, I should be more tolerant of these people and not automatically hate them just because they are total fucking asswipes. Ahhhh, fuck it, they deserve my bigotry.

    Anywho, here is a link to the website
