Welcome to The SoapBox!! This is the freedom of speech page.. or the "SoapBox" welcome!.. obviously you dropped by because you figured... hey, I need to see how messed up this person is... well here we go... It's a little past 12am when I'm writing this time... and yeah this will go up in the morning alongside a fundraiser that I'm sure alot of people will like.. it's not for TJA you guys have helped when we needed it most^^... however this time around I need help to get to AnthroCon... The concept behind the fundraiser is that it's an interactive comic... where at the end of every one or two pages there will be a set of choices... from those choices you donate money towards the choice you want to see drawn... at the end of every week the choice with the most money put towards it will be drawn and a new page will be added with that choice... so you the viewer will decide where the story will go. anyway... you guys might not care to hear all that on the rant page.. but then again, it's my page dammit!... I'll talk how I please!.... but will I try to tone down my angst and anger at things in an attempt to sway donations?... HELL NO!... I'm not treading lightly for your amusement... I'm here to talk about somethings that piss me off.. and hell, if you don't like it, tough shit... I don't care right now... after all.. I'm not here to cater to you.. I'm here to cater to me... you lucky bastards just get to share in the mindnumbing anger! I saw a puma commercial on TV and it was dangling from a string and hornets were attracted to it and then swarmed over the entire shoe... and right after they aired a similar commercial with mice... now I don't understand who would buy a shoe that attracted animals... especially hornets... I hate bees.. I'm sure there's others like me that fear getting stung... still why would I buy shoes that would get me stung?... is this what they were going for in the ad department?.. buncha frikken morons!.. I lot of stupid commercials out there... verizon is one I abhor.. everytime I see that sonuvabitch saying, "can you hear me now?" I want to physically be there and kick him in the head and keep stomping on it while I shout down to him.. "can you hear me now.. FUCKER!" and then throw my phone in his mouth and make him chew the shards... there were times I wanted to take my cellphone at the time and thow it at a verizon truck... I can happily say I don't own a cellphone anymore.. I absolutely detest these minature wastes of time... it's as if you were saying to the world that you can't go 5 minutes without talking to someone else... But I realise that those are the people who abuse the ability to call for help or in case of an emergency... that at least makes sense... so if I were to get a phone again.. it'd just be for that.. I could never be one of those freaks walking around yelling at there phone and waiting for a roger beep.. or the morons who just yak insistently about trash for an hour with wonderful phrases like "no way!" or "oh... mah gawd!" sickening... I find I don't talk on the phone... at all ... and if I do it's a rare occasion that calls for it... so my speaking skills are awful... even when I'm on AIM I end up rambling nonsense or end up with silence for a good solid 10 minutes... unless I start to rant, in which case I just go on and on about nothing for quite a bit of time.. but I try not to do that when I chat with them.. maybe that's why I like my rant page... it's an outlet to just let loose the frustration of the week into a text format... eh.. I'm gonna stop here for this week... see ya next time... OMGTKB (Ben) Y'know what? Come back next week to see if I really give a damn...
