DAMN YOU CHOXORN AND YOUR NEGLECTFUL THREAD-MAKING!! :mad:

I mean, at least put the angry face icon. Come on, this is like 4th grade stuff you guys.

Anyway, for all of you who are feeling down, remember that it's alright to cry (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHrwcQrY-JM).

There. :p

I dont see the obsession with opening new threads when they reach 1000 posts...we should have just kept rolling on too see how many posts can we shuve in before it's closed.

It's more fun that way!

I demand royalties for the title.

I rant that we will get a bunch of useless "I just want to subscribe" posts from people who don't realize you can subscribe to a thread without posting in it.

My rant : worst thread title ever!

No, Rantii was really bad.

My friend since I was like 5 years old is abandoning me because I'm a nerd and he wants to be cool/get a girlfriend. That makes me mad.

Quick, get one yourself, then he'll look like an idiot!

Also, people really do change. Some of my friends from when I was 5 are people I wouldn't want to associate with anymore.

But I'm ugly. I have lots of teh pimples...

Oh, uh, no, cause my title has one more exclamation mark.

Oh Risk, that's my favorite board game besides Chess.

and what is that?

I'm really into this chick, but for the life of me I can't get over how much she overplays the whole "Look-at-me-I'm-a-starving-bohemian-rebel-despite-the-fact-that-my-daddy-bought-me-a-hybrid-and-I-live-in-a-McMansion." And her inner circle is all the same. It's not that she's arrogant or preppy or a brat, but goddamn not only is she pretending to be something totally contrary to the reality of her life, it's so ironically stereotypical.

But then again, how many girls would I ever meet around here who are actually somewhat cultured and not just cookie cutouts?

I'm leaning toward just saying . .. .. .. . it. At least for the time being.

His signature is gone though. Trust me on this, the signature disappears when someone is banned.

tell your parents to get you to a dermatologist asap. The only reason your peers don't have pimples is because they use (mostly prescription) medication.

Depends. Some girls might be put off by it, others might like it. It all depends how many active brain cells she has really.

Why can't anyone just wait a couple of minutes for me to finish something? :mad:

I can speak from experience on this point. If it were not so, I would still be single.

And probably shunned.

My friend since I was like 5 years old is abandoning me because I'm a nerd and he wants to be cool/get a girlfriend. That makes me mad.

I can relate to that. Had a best friend since 2nd grade or so...always hung out up through high school, but once he got into a frat in college, it's like I ceased to exist, like he's better than me because he's in a frat and has that rollicking social life and I don't have that. Always makes plans and promises, then blows them off last minute and never offers rescheduling or anything (and when he does, he decides to blow that off too), doesn't answer messages. Used to happen somewhat back in high school, but in college, it's so frequent that his "word" on any plan is worth nothing at all. Then, he can't imagine why the hell I get pissed off and call him on his BS, and apparently think's it kosher to keep doing what he does. If something doesn't involve his frat, his girlfriend, or getting drunk, it's not interesting to him. I'm about out of patience and ready to burn the bridge once and for all.

Maybe you should stop being uptight and get drunk with him.

Difficult to do when he always reneges on plans.

The latter kind already has a boyfriend. You can't win this game.

Why do I have to wait until the last minute to do something? Ive had all the time in the world during the past week in which to put together my resume, but I havent even started it! This may turn out badly

I rant that we will get a bunch of useless "I just want to subscribe" posts from people who don't realize you can subscribe to a thread without posting in it.

This looks like a subscription post to me :p

A resume' is easy. Make up stuff, and then BS the interview. It got me the job I have now!

I may have done something to jeapordize a future relationship, and possibly made me look a fool. Then again, it might have made things better. I just don't know anymore.

Self-identifying as smart is a good thing, any girl worth anything will like it. Self-identifying as "a geek" is different. A woman want someone strong who can protect them, who's masculine, who's not timid or afraid. "A geek" (in my view" is not exactly most women's fantasy (that said, I know the word has morphed a bit since I grew up, maybe it has different connotations now).

I liked the Killer Angels so I read Gods and Generals and it sucked. It's awful.

I hate subscribing on new threads all the time!

Girls don't like guys who self-identify as geeks, that's all.

I rant that toilet paper sucks. Why do you people only have toilet paper to wipe your arse? Do you have any idea how disgusting and unhygenic it is? Can't you have a hand facet or a hose or something next to the toilet so you can actually clean your arse properly?

With toilet paper it leaves the smell of dried feces and its absolutely sickening.

I'm impressed your IP hasn't been banned from wiki. :p

No, but the IP for Vancouver General Hospital has. Thanks to me, hundreds of people can now no longer edit Wikipedia articles. I'm awesome like that.

I've never wanted to edit a wikipedia article before. To me it'd be like a homework assignment.

I rant that my watch ticks so loudly I can hear it all the way across the room whenever it's on a table or dresser or anything hard. I have to put it on the carpet floor or wrap it up in a sock or shirt to muffle it enough.

I make only inor edits. I also rant that bigfoot won't share his inherently correct opinions with us over the wikipedia.

Somehow I think they'll get by without me. ;)

I hate it when people hate on children for no good reason (see: the 12 year old boy arrested for farting thread). In fact, I hate it when people do it for ANY reason.

I tripped while carrying milk up the stairs.

The weather was unexpectedly good for the past 4 days...

Yes, this is a rant, because I was down at the beach without suitable clothing for good weather...

I woke up and the woman was just staring at me next to the bed...she is going to suffocate me with a pillow one of these days I have a feeling. So now I am up at 3 in the morning.

I hate parents who hit their children for no reason, even if it's just 3-4 slaps. Seriously, how #$%#^ up do you have to be to see that your child is accidentally tripping on some fallen leaves, to let him fall, and then slap him a little so that he doesn't fall the next time? :crazyeye: When I see that I feel like slapping their parents in return.... you can hit a helpless child but I'm sure you wouldn't like it if someone taller and younger than you would hit you!

I'm not sure about the farting thread, since it seems we are not given all the details, but don't get me wrong, I can hate annoying little kids too. I don't like being around children <12 too much, because I just find them an annoyance after 1 minute, but their own parents hitting them for no reason pisses me off so much...

I seem to have two girls fighting over me now. This is bad for numerous reasons. Firstly, I don't want girls fighting over me, but these two are best friends. I don't want them to possibly fall out over me. I'm only really interested in one of the girls, so I hope the other girl isn't being too serious, otherwise I could be letting her down pretty bad. :sad:

Dude guys dream of this type of situation. You're living the dream here. Milk it. Milk it for all its worth. And I mean that both figuratively and literally.

Milk it? How do I milk it?

A threesome is out of the question.

Pick the girl you like the most. If the other one will no longer like you as a friend afterwards, it shows where her friendship actually lies...

In your pants.

I forgot to change up my fantasy football team ahead of Thursday's games!! I had McNabb on the bloody bench! :mad:

The thing is, I met this girl only a few days ago, and she seems to believe I'm in love with her or something, when I said no such thing. The other girl (the good one :groucho:) seemed quite distressed at her friends behaviour. What's more, the girl I just met seems to have a thing for lying, so she might say something totally untrue in my absence and ruin everything... I wish I never actually met her now... :(

If the other girl believes her, she's not very reliable either.
Take your chances and take the one you like the best.

I don't think she's unreliable... just doesn't want her friend to have me. :p I've known her a lot longer and I'm pretty sure we both like each other. Still... I'll put the other one straight. :)

They're playing mind games. Tell them all that you don't need that in your life and you're just going to let them all go their own way.

And coming from me that says more than a little bit.

I regret I have perfect hearing, whenever my mom yells at me and her voice rings off my metallic table.

My dad broke his foot about 13 months ago. He's better but he still hurts and has to use a cane sometimes. I worry about him...

How'd that happen?

Bad sidewalk. He just plain tripped and fell right outside of where he works. The city fixed it up now but it was still having a lot of trouble for a long time.

He probably damaged something in his foot really badly :(

There's a hard painful swollen lump in my armpit. Its either a swollen lymph node or cancer. Either way it sucks.

I rant the pakistanis gave silver a bad bump.

EDIT: Crosspost.

The obvious response is to nuke Pakistan.

Damn right. I'm glad you two understand now. Pakistan is the root cause of all evil and all the world's problems.

No it's not. Money is.

:smug:

Not it's not. Money is.

I just stuck Benjamin under my armpit and he reduced the lump significantly. Money is the cure of the problem.

Is it a strange coincidince that I have the song "Lump" playing right now amidst all these posts about silver's lump, or is it something bigger? :shifty:

Its some sorted of convoluted Pakistani conspiracy no doubt.

Are you Pakistani? Because if so it's something bigger.

He probably damaged something in his foot really badly :(
I kind of don't think so. I certainly hope not. He's had x-rays and all that, it's just that when you're an old man it's hard to come off stuff like that.

Yes. Aren't we all Pakistani today?

I think he was talking to me, and no, I'm not Pakistani, check my location.

You could be part of the ISI. And your hiding in Seattle...I know what you people are up to. I once unmasked a North Korean spy at my highschool so I'm good at this.

True, but 13 months is a bit pushing it though, even if you're old. I think he just reached the age where things heal too slowly and he must've damaged it to the point that it won't ever get fixed properly.

Then again, that can happen with young people too, most of the time when they don't let it heal properly. Words from a guy who knows that feeling :\

My rant - My girlfriend is supposed to come tomorrow, and magically they're expecting a HUGE-MOTHER-STANKING snowstorm starting tomorrow morning.
What luck.

Your gf probaly faked weather reports so she doesn't hve to come.

My grandparents (from India) called today. Sounds good, but my grandpa innocently asked me if I was coming to India next break (in 3 weeks); now, I said sure, if my school schedule and my parent's calendars allow it, then my grandpa got super-excited and asked to talk to my dad.

Evidently, he wanted to buy the tickets NOW. My sister, who's in college and hasn't been to India for...a while, prolly 6 years, gets all pissed off because winter break, when we're planning the trip, is her only vacation for the next school year, and she just wants to vegetate.

I have such a dysfunctional family...or at least sibling.

cubsfan, give it a break, his girlfiend doesn't want to dump him. :p

I know I'm just messing with him now.

But we like to mess with him. It makes us feel really cool because we fail in them areas. :smug:

I injured my right foot pretty bad, and I'm not sure why. I suspect its because I've been running/working out in very beat up running shoes that don't offer any support. At any rate, my car is out of commission for at least two more weeks, so I have to walk everywhere on a bum foot.

(haha, I just got this joke like 5 seconds ago :mischief:)

What a rotten month. My wife injured her back late in October, so we've been going to the chiropractor twice a week all month, at $20 per visit. Then our stupid, stupid insurance company decided that it is only going to pay for half of my wife's antidepressant medication unless we go through a mail-order pharmacy; her psychiatrist is still trying to get that through his head when he makes out prescriptions. Our gas bill quadrupled this past month because the weather turned cold and our house has terribly inadequate insulation, several single-pane windows and poor seals around said windows and our POS front door. Nobody knows what to get me for Christmas because quite frankly I don't really care beyond getting new windows, doors, insulation, and siding. Thanksgiving was mixed; it started off all right--church was good, lunch at my wife's aunt/uncle/grandmother's house was good apart from her incredibly passive-aggressive aunt, but then dinner at my parents' house was awful. The food was fine, but my mom just can't handle these kinds of things anymore and spent the whole night . .. .. .. .. .ing and moaning and crabbing up a storm.

Then, to top off the whole month, I was cutting up an onion last night and sliced open my right thumb. We didn't have any bandages in the house (thought we did at first), and my wife doesn't drive. You can imagine the brouhaha that followed at the nearby Walgreens. I hope December is more forgiving than this cold, rainy November.

I ordered a new 22" Acer on Newegg last night. To my surprise, the order was voided when I checked today. Contacted Newegg rep and they said nothing they could do for out of stock items.... And here I was boasting about the new monitor at work..

sighh...

I was doing some unpacking earlier and found my vinyl copies of Thriller and Foxtrot were improperly stored and now they're all warped and unplayable. :mad:

Sorry, don't mean to lol at your predicament.

Sorry, don't mean to lol at your predicament.

:lol: That was about the size of it, though I did have a bloody paper towel wrapped around it as a stopgap measure and was applying plenty of pressure.

The kicker was that I looked pretty disheveled--three months since my last haircut, two days' worth of shaving stubble, plus I hadn't combed my hair since just before church that morning.

i suck at Risk....

No one ever wants to play Risk with me...:(

: plus I hadn't combed my hair since just before church that morning.

how often do you comb your hair a day? :lol:

I despise the Clone Wars TV show. Also, my Arabic professor informed us that we would have a vocabulary test on all of the words we've learned since the beginning of the semester today, so I studied for a significant segment of the Thanksgiving break for the test. As it happens, the test was made up of a grand total of 14 questions, with an automatic curve of 4. It would have required maybe five minutes of studying. What a waste of time.

Still need to finish English anecdotes and Global Notes on Yuan Dynasty China.

And to top it off, still need to finish Art implied Lines Assignment. :(

I'm going to have a sleepless night...

So much work; so little time.

how often do you comb your hair a day? :lol:

Generally my hair needs one combing per day for each month I let it go without a haircut--when it's short, I can get by with just the one in the morning. When my hair gets to be three months long, it needs combing about three times a day to keep it looking neat. It's annoying, but I haven't the time or money to get it cut every month, and would do an absolute hatchet job of cutting it myself were I to go that route. Twenty dollars every three months seems reasonable, though.

I despise the Clone Wars TV show.

Old news, everyone here does. :p

The nice three-week grind between Thanksgiving and winter break is here. Hooray for sleepless nights and living in constant states of stress and being fried.

I just spent half an hour searching for the cross country team of the school I would have gone to if I hadn't moved four years ago. All I found was that they had a 3.9 combined GPA :mad:

Well I just made a fool of myself on MSN. I told a girl who asked me out to go on a beer with her, that I'm involved already and busy with school anyway. She then said she didnt mean it in that way and promptly went offline. Well burn me for a bloody fool. Could have sworn we flirted before and that she thought what I think she was thinking. Proves me wrong...again. Cleric 0, womens 2.

The only TV I watch is Starcraft VODs and The Office, but I guess I can give it a try. I've got to do something, or I'm shafted.

Oh, and classical or old music is good for the same reasons. This new stuff just keeps the mind racing.

I don't know why I'm always surprised at how intense PMS can be. I feel such disdain for everyone I have to talk to, I want to tell them to go masturbate acrobatically. I should leave work early before I snap at someone.

Damn you women! DAMN YOU DAMN YOU DAMN YOU DAMN YOU DAMN YOU DAMN YOU DAMN YOU DAMN YOU DAMN YOU DAMN YOU DAMN YOU DAMN YOU DAMN YOU DAMN YOU DAMN YOU DAMN YOU DAMN YOU DAMN YOU DAMN YOU DAMN YOU DAMN YOU DAMN YOU DAMN YOU DAMN YOU DAMN YOU DAMN YOU DAMN YOU DAMN YOU DAMN YOU DAMN YOU DAMN YOU DAMN YOU DAMN YOU DAMN YOU DAMN YOU DAMN YOU DAMN YOU DAMN YOU DAMN YOU DAMN YOU DAMN YOU DAMN YOU DAMN YOU DAMN YOU ALL!!!

No, damn you.

Don't make me hate the female race more than what I already do.

I did horrible on my PSAT.

Who cares, it doesn't count!

It does for some Scholarships. As well as you do well on one though, you should be perfectly fine.

@salty: Why exactly is this? :p

My credit card statement for November STILL hasn't arrived! The billing cycle on my card ended before Thanksgiving. WHY ISN"T IT HERE YET?

I swear they're not going to get it to me by the due date. They're doing it on purpose. They want to saddle me with fees and interest because I always pay on time and in full and aren't giving them any extra.

Spent an hour figuring out what was wrong with my car, and then another hour to get my old distributor off. The replacement doesn't look like it's a tight fit but I turn the engine over anyway. Have my #2 and #4 plugs mixed up. Fix that. Turn the engine over, and it starts! I'm so happy and then I hear an awful sound. Engine stops. The ill-fitting distributor was split apart -- the thing has a deep crack in it -- luckily not harming anything around it.

Call the store I bought the part from "Oh bring it by and we'll exchange it"

Well if I had a car, I'd drive over right now. ghfrnionevondzsfnz cvia

I'm bringing my old distributor down with me. If the exchanged one has the same play, I'm throwing a fit.

Just call the number on the back of your card and set it up to pay off automatically.

Schoolwork has officially raped my free time, and my mom still wants me to study more, even though I've spent 30 minutes of Latin study, which I was up until 10 PM.

I have a bio test tomorrow, and I really don't feel like studying but I should

Algebra 2 test tomorrow. Bah!

Nades.

Christ I hate nades.

My friggin' mouse keeps crapping out on me and I don't know why.

My school had a blood drive today and I didn't give any. I feel guilty now. :cry:

BTW, how important is O+ blood?

BTW, how important is O+ blood?

I think its the most important because it is the universal donor blood. I wish I could give blood, but I have high blood pressure and they won't take any from me :(

edit: actually after your response I don't know if it's O- or O+, or even if there is a difference...

I have been sick all week and thad to stay at home. Now I'm in danger on falling behind in chinese class and have to learn two lessons on my own including the dreaded measure words.
And to top it off I'm already starting to forget some of the characters I've learned until now.
It's gonna be a busy weekend.

I thought that was O negative. Oh well, I'm not even sure it's my blood type.

@GoodSamaritan: Yeah measure words are a pain in the ass.

Blood types can be positive or negativge.

It snowed so much last night and we had a HUGE snowball fight in school. Obviously teachers had to get involved to try and break it up but they just ended up getting hit by the snowballs too! :lol: In the end they just left us to hurl huge chunks of ice at each other. :smug:

Why can't it ever snow here? :mad: Why must it always be in the 50's? :mad: What happened to the cold-and-wet-as-hell weather we had the last two winters? :mad:

SNOW, DAMN IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [pissed] :gripe:

Snow is overrated. The first snow of the season and Christmas snow is ok, but other than that it sucks.

Like the today rainbows were colorful in the clouds, I somehow feel like there is something wrong with that stupid sky. I hate it. And when I close the window and cover myself with my dear curtains, they always have an ugly colour.

I hate the way Canadians say "anyways". It's "anyway", damnit!

Not really.

I hate the way Canadians say "anyways". It's "anyway", damnit!

That's not really a Canadian thing.

I encounter it among Americans often enough.

I have to wash my clothes today. Its been more than a month since I last washed them but I don't feel like it. But I've worn the same boxers for 2 days now so at this point it may be necessary. Gah there goes $1.25.

Someone who needs to email me hasn't.

I don't really think its a canadianism only, after all, it is in the dictionary of Microsoft, unlike colour, favourite, and other words we enjoy using.

I failed my driver's test after two minutes of driving and two hours of waiting.

I failed my driver's test after two minutes of driving and two hours of waiting.

What happened?

Ran someone over didn''t you?

I failed my driver's test after two minutes of driving and two hours of waiting.
At least you didn't have to go through the entire thing. Or it sounds like you didn't. One of my friends went through like an hour and a half test session only to find out he failed within five minutes

God dammnit. The vending machine ate my money. Stupid things.

What happened?
I did not yield to through traffic at a two-way stop sign and did not stop when the instructor told me to.

I stopped at first, then went, another car came, I was instructed to stop but I followed through. Then I was instructed to return to the DMV, on the way I almost hit someone merging from a parking turnout in an alley.

I knew I was probably going to fail anyway but I didn't expect it to be that quick.

At least you didn't have to go through the entire thing. Or it sounds like you didn't. One of my friends went through like an hour and a half test session only to find out he failed within five minutes

Hour and a half? It's like 10-15 minutes here when you do it correctly. What could they possibly test for that wasn't tested already?

It's 3:45 in the morning and I'm still doing homework. I have a giant book report on a book I didn't read that's 50% of my final due today and an RN (It's an analytical page and a half superparagraph).

It's not that I'm slow at homework, I started at two in the morning.

@Shylock
I don't know. It sounded long to me too :dunno:

That's not really a Canadian thing.

Well, I'm just basing it on what I'm seeing. Canadian or not, it still bugs me though.

Please, please, please, please, for the love of all that is good and nice,

STOP PUTTING PICTURES OF UNHAPPY TRADERS ON EVERY SINGLE FREAKING ARTICLE ABOUT THE STOCK MARKET GOING DOWN


They're always the same. Some guy looks unhappy (bonus point for putting your hands over your face!) and the blurry background is screens with graphs on them.

I mean, how many times have we seen that picture?

My brother has officially become insane, I think. If you hear any reports of a 12-year-old brutally stabbing people in a suburb of Seattle, and I'm not here, you'll kow it's him.

Why can I not sign onto #fiftychat?

Are you kidding? I love pictures of investors getting pwned!

Sure, just so long as he leaves a Halo-related clue at the scene.

Although what's probably more likely is 'Seattle brothers murdered in molten gold-related incident: Israel denies responsibility. Ron Paul reported outraged' :mischief:

Damn you NESers and your inside jokes. :mad:

Also, a frisbee gave me a black and blue mark on the end of my middle finger. Makes it hard to type.

My impulse told me it was an inside joke for NESers, but apparently I was off by a million miles!

We NESers DO have inside jokes. This ain't a problem, just be more active in the NES forum (While We Wait is like the OT for NESers) ;)

In other news, I have so much more damned homework.

World History: Ming Dynasty
Math: Algebra
Science: A whole crapload on Physics and Reflections
Need to finish History of the British Empire and Germany 1944-1945 world history.

Carmen, no advertising NESing that isn't NESing. we are exclusive. ;)

rant: time constraints are back again to the nth degree.

Rant: No NESs are opening for me to join! Ppl say it's so great, but then they don't make any ;)

I can't think of a name for a biker gang.

Rant: No NESs are opening for me to join! Ppl say it's so great, but then they don't make any ;)

NESes are NOT forum games. You may join at any time for the majority of them. Currently, all the NESes save the Diplomacy, Testserver, and One Thousand Ways to Die are open. So you have no excuses.

But they are all like 40,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 ,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
pages long. Obviously that is exaggerating, but you understand.

Use maximum posts per page.

The song You, Me, and the Bourgeoisie, from the iPhone commercial, seemed like an odd title and looking into it I saw it did seem to take bring forward some issues and criticized the first world, as in we have all this stuff and its sad "plastic bottles... sweatshop labor" and that's all well and good, but then who's bright idea was it to use it in an iPhone commercial, and why would the band then sell it to them? Way to sell out before you're known.

and was it for the iPhone or the iTouch? . .. .. .. . it, they look the same, iDon't care.

My sister is the same way. Before she went on meds she would threaten me with knives.

Yeah, I believe that to be a reference to Jono's obsession with the "molten gold" thing in Good Wish/Bad Wish.

Of the past 8 days, 4 of them were among the worst of my life to this point.

Explain... :p

Well, I was on holiday to celebrate the finishing of high school, and on the third day I was away, a bunch of people I knew but don't like decided to show up at the house til the 6th day. As a result, half of the week was spoilt, and because it was surrounded by 4 of the best days the 4 bad days were significantly worse (due to the missed potential)

It happens quite often, I think. Take for example the Rage Against the Machine song "No Shelter." It criticizes the entertainment and news industry, yet it gets included on that (relatively) new Godzilla movie which came out a decade ago. And it even has the line "Godzilla pure mutherf@#kin filler/ get your eyes off the real killer." Whether Rage sold out or were just playing the movie producers as fools, I dont know.

Some moron has smashed the window on my dad's van. They didn't take anything or even attempt to steal the thing... they just smashed it for the hell of it. WHY!? :ack:

Ooh, yeah, I rant about this! NES is allowed to have an Off-Topic thread but no other subforum is, why is this? Also, NESers are allowed to get away with flaming each other in said thread! Why is this?

(cue mass OT rush to the While We Wait thread)

thing is, its a general thread for discussing NESing related issues. (mostly things that come up in threads that are OT but still important are taken there, as an example) Note that as we have modern (present-day NESes), modern day politics can be a NESing issue. However, it gets moderated. and lots of people get warned etc for flaming. trust me, it is not gotten away with.

That's true, I think the producers heard "godzilla' and figured the song had to be on their album. That's assuming the song was made beforehand. But he message of the band, and that song in particular, has nothing to do with the film, so either Rage sold out in a really ironic way or were trying to get a message across somehow. IDK, they did it with the Matrix to, but that movie at least had a more to do with that thinking.
But back to my rant about that song in the iWhatever commercial: Grr.
How do businesses go about choosing songs for advertising, that's what I've got to find out.

at 50 crawl today i was 20 hundreds from the final

Well the song came out at about the same time as the movie, so I guess the film producers thought "hey, its what the kids are listening to now, and it mentions our movie, lets use it"

As far as the Matrix, "Wake Up" at least had a similar message urging people dont just believe everything that you are presented with. Which at least sugests a little bit more thought was given.

As for Apple, in thier Mac vs. PC ads they are hip and cool while PC is boring and nerdy. I suspect they used that particular song for the same reasons, although I dont really know anything about that song, nor have I ever heard it outside an iPod commerical.

I'm ready to beat my computer with something heavy and blunt.

I'm so tired of stupid crashes. All I wanted to do was check my Military Adviser so I could see my military broken down by unit type. What a time to crash, too; England built the UN a few turns ago, and even though I'm over the cultural number needed for a Culture Win, I have slightly less twice my next rival, England, has culture, so I've been in a race to build as many cultural buildings as I can...and so have they. The upside is that my empire is HUGE; I have nearly 50% of world population, and 10% of world area. Screw Cape Town to Cairo, my empire is Cape Town to Calcutta.

I'm sick. Also, the ankle that I sprained a few weeks ago is hurting again, perhaps because of the cold weather.

I still haven't figured how how to do a single problem of my Statistics homework. (This time it only has 2 questions, but they are long multiple part ones.) Homework in that class is worth more than I thought it was, and because I haven't turned a lot of it in I'll likely end up failing the class despite above average test grades.

I don't think I'm ready for any of the 4 final exams I have this week.

Last part of one class project due in 33 hours or so, and only a very rough idea of how I want to do it. And the thing has to be quite thorough and very specific, down to the last detail.
And sometimes it turns out even your very best efforts won't be enough. Negative aspect of a group project, I suppose. Not exactly a believer that either project will turn out great in the end.

Civ3. If you read carefully, you can see that he mentions that he is being prevented from winning by another civ having more than 50% of his total culture, which is only an issue in Civ 3.

Attempting to learn philosophy - for my own ends, not for those of higher education - off of Wikipedia have proven partially fruitless because Wikipedia's philosophy section is possibly the only section worse than their classical history section. Conclusion: learning philosophy on a time and money shoestring ain't easy.

Books cost money, unless I wish to acquire them from a library, in which case I must live with their impermanence and an inability to reference them quickly. All I have on me on the subject are all of Nietzsche's books and some commentary thereon; this is an inadequate basis for much of anything except Nietzsche scholarship.
