Tis the season to be as sick as a dog!
Lincoln Adams | December 24, 2008 @ 4:36 pmWell it’s Christmas Eve, and life still sucks big honking cheeseballs. Since I still haven’t met the one, I’m sticking to my time honored tradition of boycotting It’s A Wonderful Life until I do. 
I’ve been pretty scroogy this year compared to most for some reason. I had no desire to put up any decorations, I hardly listened to any Christmas tunes, and gift wrapping turned into a 3 hour event akin to trying to nail jello to the wall, even though I was only wrapping two presents. 
And now I have to work late Christmas Eve and cover for my coworkers who either took off or conveniently got sick, and on top of that the only two family members I have left both get sick as well, so everyone’s pretty much in a miserable mood here.
I’m probably gonna be getting some pretty suck mcducky presents too, but that’s to be expected since I insisted that no one buy me anything. Turns out that was unnecessary since no one was planning to get me anything anyway.
Thank God for Netflix right?? 
Well not really, since some tubby fat dingaling decided, “Hey wouldn’t it be a great idea to rent The Mummy and Caspian and then hoard it for a month until Christmas is over, thus ensuring that nobody else can reserve a copy from Netflix until the new year at least? Awesome!”
People. God do I hate them.
Fortunately though I managed to RedBox myself those two movies instead, while using Netflix to get X-Files and a few more Lost DVDs. 
That should help keep my mind off of the fact that nobody wubs me and that I’ll have only my teddy bear to keep me company as I watch these flicks and try to keep myself from crying into my tub of popcorn.
Ah well. There’s always next year, right? 
Really though, Christmas isn’t as bad as I’m making it sound, but I’d just as soon get this (and the crapfest of a year 2008 turned out to be) over with as quickly as possible.
And now with those slightly unpleasant thoughts out of the way, I wish you all the very merriest of Christmases, that you enjoy your time off with those you love, and that God continually grant you all joy, peace and health as we move forward into a new year.

Loading ...I have decided to be a man…
Lincoln Adams | October 18, 2008 @ 2:18 pm… by running away from all my problems.
The last few days I’ve been following up on the latest political news, which I realize tends to put me in a violent, must-eradicate-all-liberals-on-Earth kinda mood. The last straw were all the personal attacks on Joe The Plumber, whose unforgiveable sin it seems had been that he asked a question.
But then I realized that despite spending so many hours reading up on the news, being well informed doesn’t really do anything for me except raise my blood pressure. See, I’m a guy who has no absolutely impact on anything that happens in the world, so why bother getting upset over things that I cannot possibly ever change? Indeed, the only thing I CAN change is myself. So I have decided to do just that… by withdrawing completely from reality and pursuing an escapist lifestyle where I can remain blissfully ignorant of everything that’s happening in the world. 
I can see the wisdom now of barricading myself in my room with nothing but my desktop PC, a bundle of Netflix DVDs, a few bags of Tostitos and some cheese dip. I’d remove all the political/news feeds from my feedreader, lock out all the news channels on TV, then completely immerse myself in playing massive multiplayer games online (or perhaps my favorite Nancy Drew mystery games.) If I have a hankering for something more than chips, I can always order from Papa John’s and have them slide the pizza under my door.
Who says I don’t know how to enjoy life??

I want to join Netflix, does that make me an anti-social geekball?
Lincoln Adams | October 3, 2008 @ 10:43 pmI’m getting a little tired these days of stopping by Blockbuster and looking up and down and left to right for movies they never have, not to mention having to put up with adorable looking couples sassing each other and being so happy together that I just want to start lobbing DVD boxes at them for daring to pollute my air with their irritating public displays of affection. Just die, please.
Truth be told though, I rarely go to Blockbuster nowadays, opting instead to grab up DVDs at my supermarket, which has a Redbox Machine. But even that’s become an aggravating chore lately. Nothing quite puts me in the mood to wreak death and destruction upon mankind then having to wait behind somebody who takes their sweeeeeeeeeeeeet ass time checking the Redbox listings while I loudly tap my foot and check my watch, knowing I’ll have to pay a dollar more if I can’t jam my DVD back in there within the next three minutes.
“BITCH GET THE F*&^ OUT OF THE WAY I GOT TO RETURN THIS THING BEFORE 9PM CAN”T YOU SEE THAT DAMMIT TO HELL!?!?!”
So yeah, I think RedBox has pretty much lost its appeal as well. Solution? Netflix!! 
But as I surfed the site and prepared to sign up, a thought occurred to me: am I being too antisocial here?
It seems the more I go out there and run into the scum sucking, methane ripping porkbags otherwise known as the human race, the more I want to stay home and have everything including my groceries mail-ordered to me instead. Then I can just hide under the bed with my laptop and my Tostitos and play Nancy Drew games until the end of the world comes, which should be oh, shortly after people realize the bailout didn’t do zippy dinks to save the economy and The Great Depression Part 2: Obama Takes Us To Hell officially gets under way.
But then I think, perhaps I’m being too harsh here? That maybe, just maybe, with a sincere effort to go out there and connect with other human beings I’d end up finding some who are not so rudely vile and disgusting after all, and maybe even attract a nice girl for once in my life?
Nah. Indiana Jones first ever DVD in my Netflix queue baby!! BOOYAH! Now where are my Tostitos…

A Faux Pas at Blockbusters
Lincoln Adams | September 5, 2008 @ 7:40 pmSo I drop by Blockbuster tonight to grab up some DVDs for the weekend, and I’m seeing this cute-as-a-button brunette prancing about the store.
Hmmmmmm… 
She was finally at the checkout, so I quickly grabbed a DVD and casually got in line behind her.
I looked over her shoulder. “Oooh, Street Kings. Good movie, you’ll like it.”
“Oh yah, I looove Keanu Reeves!”
I grinned, then happened to notice a really big, fatty, fat boy standing next to her, paying for, um, her rental??
“So you’re gonna be watching it with your brother?”
“Oh this is my boyfriend,” she said in a sing-song, cheery voice.
I broke out laughing for a few seconds, then paused. “Seriously?” I looked at him. He seemed to be grating his teeth.
“Oh sure! He’s such a sweetheart too!” She held his arm.
“Wow… WOW. Dude, you must be so loaded. Was that your Corvette I saw parked out there?”
He didn’t say anything, but his face turned purple with…. embarrassment? Rage, maybe? I think it was rage.
Needless to say I quickly excused myself and made like I had forgotten my wallet, or something.
Ahhhh Friday nights. Gotta love it.
