I doubt its worse. Did you get forced to partake in Satanic Sex Rituals? I already survived anyway, and I'm going to uni in like 4 days.

My real rant of the day;
The drivers around here are absolutely insane! I always drive five miles per hour over the speed limit and some people back in my old town get their knickers in a knot over that because apparently it makes me a real criminal because I'm putting everyone's lives at risk for the whole five miles over I go, but around here (new home) people go ten miles over minimum and twenty maximum and it doesn't matter where I am or what the speed limit is, I'm always being tail-gated. (I don't know if that's one word or two and I don't feel like looking it up right now)
I had to follow my grandfather to the car dealer place and he was going ten miles over and didn't stop at the yellow light forcing me to run it when it turned red and gah! I broke all kinds of traffic laws today just so that I didn't get lost in the middle of nowhere and I'm not doing that ever again mostly because it scared me out of my everlovin' wits.
And I just know I'm going to get in my first accident here. Some idiot is going to tail-gate me and some stupid deer, bear, fox, or my personal favorite, Sasquatch, is going to jump in the middle of the freaking highway forcing me to stop suddenly and then the idiot tail-gating me is going to hit me and then I'm going to be extraordinarily pissed off if I'm still alive and conscious to be pissed off.

AICE is worse, and I survived. You'll be okay, I promise
AICE was fun.
The Association of Independent Competitive Eaters? Sounds like something that would divide people over whether it was fun.
Can't really think of a good rant. I guess I'll quit trying before I come up with a really good one and become unhappy.

If what you're doing now isn't harder than what you were doing before, you probably aren't ambitious enough.

I got mugged. 
The guys didn't take much, as they just needed quick cash (they took something like the equivalent of 15 euros), so they left my phone and guitar alone. They needed it for drugs, and not just any kind of it (the marks on their arms looked almost like if taken from a poor movie with aliens). The most frustrating thing is, I realized a few minutes after that that I could avoid it. And the simple way didn't occur to me. I am really, really, really tired. I can't believe I didn't think of that amazingly simple thing... When they demanded to see my wallet... I could have EASILY taken the money out of it with one hand and leave it in my pocket, while taking an empty wallet out. I'm an expert in that, as I used to do that often as a joke at school a few years ago when someone was asking me to lend some money and for some reason I didn't want to. I even got used to always putting the open part of my wallet at the top, so I can reach for the money without taking the wallet out. How come I didn't think of that?? I came out as stupid and stressed to the guy that was with me (that happened to have nothing on him at the moment) and I was priding myself in being very good in dealing with those situations.
Well, it was not much, and I'm unharmed. But it's extremely frustrating. Gotta get some sleep, I realized I can't even walk in a straight line while having my guitar in one hand, I'm THAT tired.

Hindsight is 20-20, Mirc, don't worry about it. Important thing is they only took 15 Euros and didn't hurt ya.
Feel better.

I agree.
But what do you mean with the first part? I'm not sure I know what hindsight means...

I agree.
Hindsight is when you look back on what happened. The first sentence in my post is an American expression that means it's always easy to say what you should have done after the fact.

Ah! I get it now.
Yeah, that's true. It's probably much easier to think of what I should have done than to actually do it when I had to.

I agree.
And to give a bit more explanation on the hindsight metaphor... it's also a sort of pun. When people check your vision (or "sight") in the US, 20/20 is perfect vision.
Then combine that with hind-sight... and voila!
