Rants in Your Pants

A way to vent my frustrations, that DOESN'T involve setting things on fire.

I Almost Forgot How To Blog


I have been caught up in a holiday whirlwind and a crazy year-end cycle at work that s been consuming my time. Here's some things I've wanted to write about but was too lazy to by the time I had a chance:


- Did you hear that Pat Robertson has predicted a majour terror attack to hit the US in the 2nd half of the year? Did you also know he claims to be able to leg press over 2,000 lbs thanks to an energy drink that he just happens to also sell (he's over 70 years old if you didn't know)? He also claims that denominations such as Episcopalians and the Presbyterians and the Methodist harbor the spirit of the Antichrist. Oh, and he openly called for the assassination of Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez. Folks, welcome to the 700 Club, strap on your water-wings!


- Grease: You're The One That I Want. Add it to the reasons people think I might be gay. I thought the premier was hilarious.


- Has anyone else who has Rogers Digital Cable ever noticed the Prevue movie and show descriptions in the digital "guide" feature? Check this out if you haven't....the short blurbs used to give a synopsis of the movie always contain some sort of subjective description of the film. This might be fine for films that they think were well made. However, if I have never seen a movie, and I click the "info" button to get more details, I don't want to know that the movie is any of the following adjectives before I watch it: "laboured", "dull", "pointless", "mundane" or "Not-so-terrific mockumentary". I would rather form my own opinion on what is garbage! What are they thinking by doing this anyway? They are basically validating anyone who might be considering cancelling their 300-channel cable tv subscription because 'there's never anything good on'.


- What's with Jeremy Miller popping up in that stupid MacDonald's commercial?...and why did he let himself go to hell?


- I am currently involved in 2 separate weight loss contests, one at work, and one with friends and neighbors. The only thing I can think of all day long is pizza and Doritos. Today I visited the Doritos.ca site to visit an old friend. Both contests will take me to mid-April, at which point the person who has lost the highest % of body weight wins the respective pots. Pizza and Doritos party at my place April 15th!!
