they say, "time flies when you're having fun"...
first off...who are "they"?? why do they say such stupid things?? can they back up anything they say?? did they do any research?? where is their proof?? if they have no research, got no proof, why continue saying stupid things??
time flies whether you're having fun or not. for me, i never seem to have any time to do anything. maybe the reason time escapes me is because i am getting older. i remember clearly when i was back in school how the days seemed to drag on and on. but now, those school days are almost 30 years behind me. if this is what i have to look forward too...forget it. this shit sucks.
right now, i can't believe summer is over. where did it go and why did it go so quickly?? i know i have been alittle busy but this is nuts. i wanted to see one movie this summer...just one movie...it came out in mid-july. by the time i got to the theater to see it, it was the friday that started the labor day weekend. it took me over six weeks to go to the movies...yes, i wanted to avoid the crowds but come on now...there were 20 people in the theater that night.
corn...on the cob...the staple of summer. first time i had corn on the cob was in the second week after labor day. wasn't easy to find either. the local farm market had corn stalks for sale but they didn't have any corn. as far as the bbq's go...didn't go to a single one this year. come to think of it, noone i knew had a bbq this year. july was to fucking hot and it rained most of august.
ahhhh...the jersey shore...hmmm...went to long beach island once (going there wasn't my choice but i wasn't driving, so...). haven't been to seaside at all this year. we did go to wildwood once...it was the day of the great east coast earthquake. damn, i have a very boring life.
this brings me to the next stupid saying: "there is always next year/time."
your kidding me with this shit right?? every year i seem to have less and less time to do anything. what the fuck is going on?? how do i change whats happing?? at the rate i'm going, there will be zero movies i see next summer, corn from a can over the summer, and the closest i get to a beach is walking along the delware next to the tacony-palmyra bridge.
i don't know who "they" are but i wish they would shut the fuck up and keep their stupid saying to theirselves. i know there are tons of saying out there and if/when i find the time, maybe i'll give my opinions on them as well. if you have any sayings you find annoying, feel free to post and comment on them here. and if you should ever run into any of those "they" people, tell them i am looking for them...i got alot of questions for them and if i don't like their answers, i might just pop a cap in their asses.
peace out, yo

I come across a whole shitload of words and key phrases that piss me off. You ever heard this one?-
from a ___ standpoint - Yeah this makes sense. But shit you can’t just plug in any word you want in here. People throw in the first thing that comes into their minds. “From a hamburgers standpoint, that seems like a lot of ketchup”. WTF did you just say? How did you even get hired. Hamburgers don’t have a f-ing stand point. Their standpoint is in my mouth.

Willy nilly - we've all heard this one and this just sounds stupid. It’s almost like you are saying some guy’s name but changed it at the last second to be funny. I left work all willy nilly cause I might have had more to do. If you say this phrase, you will have no friends and you will be all willy nilly about whether or not you should go play in traffic!

this saying sounds like it can from the 1800's.

keep your eyes peeled – OK KIDS! We are on a safari adventure now so keep your eyes peeled for the elephants! “OK DAD! WE WILL!” You dumb ass kids don’t realize that eyes can’t be peeled. They aren’t fucking vegetables. Here I will show you how to peel a carrot and you can do the same to your eyes. We will see who the smart one is then. Damn kids.

FLABBERGASTED...Now there's a word that takes me back...I remember using it in the 1700's...
Definition of FLABBERGAST: to overwhelm with shock, surprise, or wonder : dumbfound
FLABBERGASTED
The British comedian Frankie Howerd used to say in mock astonishment: “I’m flabbergasted — never has my flabber been so gasted!”. That’s about as good an explanation for the origin of this strange word for being surprised or astonished as you’re likely to get.
It turns up first in print in 1772, in an article on new words in the Annual Register. The writer couples two fashionable terms: “Now we are flabbergasted and bored from morning to night”. (Bored — being wearied by something tedious — had appeared only a few years earlier.) Presumably some unsung genius had put together flabber and aghast to make one word.
The source of the first part is obscure. It might be linked to flabby, suggesting that somebody is so astonished that they shake like a jelly. It can’t be connected with flapper, in the sense of a person who fusses or panics, as some have suggested, as that sense only emerged at the end of the nineteenth century. But flabbergasted could have been an existing dialect word, as one early nineteenth-century writer claimed to have found it in Suffolk dialect and another — in the form flabrigast — in Perthshire. Further than this, nobody can go with any certainty.
It's not a new word - Flabbergasted has been used since the 1700's.
It's a compound word - the origins of the second part is "gasten".
It means to be terrified, totally surprised or shocked.
The origins of the first part are unknown although many believe the root word is "flabby" or "flap " meaning your shake uncontrollably like a bowl of jelly or flap around " She's in a real flap now".
flabber - shaking or flap around as in a flap.
gasten - terror, shock or surprise.
No matter where it came from or who stated using it, it leaves me dumbfounded...

Without further delay - Oh thank you for delaying me further by saying this. Is it necessary? Lets just say you never said this stupid phrase and just started the puppet show. Would anyone even notice?

I had a woodshop teacher that kept saying this shit over and over, "things of that nature "... “There are tools over there and things of that nature” “You need a hallpass to go to the bathroom and things of that nature” “That is a nice piece of hard oak and things of that nature”. Shut the hell up and hand me a 2 x 4 to slam against your face, and things of that nature.

What the hell is a "free" gift ? Aren't all gifts free?
And dont go crying to PETA but, if we aren't supposed to eat animals, why are they made of meat?
And how about the way by the time you can make ends meet, they move the ends. I just gave up when I used to have a plaque that said a messy room was a sign of genius... and I lost it
I hate people who steal my ideas before I think of them, so don't talk to me while I'm talking to myself. Im proud of the fact that I started with nothing and still have most of it left! If I agreed with you , we'd both be wrong but I never finish anyth...Because of this my friends say I'm indecisive, but I'm not so sure. I'm only wearing black untill they make something darker, and I've discovered that strangers have the best candy!
Just keep in mind that change is inevitable, except from a vending machine, and time is what keeps everything from happening at once.
And a true sign that you're getting old? When the older you get, the better you realize you were.
