Welcome to my self indulging rants,

Well, First of all, how did you get here? Secondly are you sure you don't have anything better to do with your time?

I have decided to start this Web log (I will never call it a blog because I think that is the most annoying word in our collective vocabulary) with the specific purpose of venting at the end of a day of seeing things that piss me off (and let me tell you there are a lot of things). Up until now I have just complained to anyone around me who is willing to listen but I realized that eventually nobody around me will be willing to listen. I could write a journal and keep it under my mattress or something but then I will get no feedback (although there is no guarantee of feedback here more on that in a bit). Then I realized I sit in an an office for eight hours a day with a computer and an internet connection at my disposal So I decided to go the rout of so many self important citizens and blowhard celebrities before me and start a Web Log.

I know everyone is trying to change the world with there online ramblings but the odds of me making a global impact are zero to none. So, you won't read my opinions on the world's economy or major events across the globe (not to often anyway) however, I know nobody wants to read about the fact that my dog got into the trash (which she does constantly) so I am going to be tackling the middle ground. Mostly how TV, stores and restaurants annoy me but there will be rants on other topics as well.

I am glad you are here and have decided to read a little about what is going on in my brain. I hope I can amuse you at least a little and possibly make you think at least for a second. That being said I welcome your feedback but only if you have something to contribute to the conversation. I don't want to read "Hell yeah man" or "You suck" I want well thought out replies that either support my opinion or disagree. Especially, if you disagree, because I love to argue and I want the chance to show you how your wrong.

Now that I have welcomed you you will need to wait till Monday to read my first rant. I have a bunch of time to kill while at work during the week but will not waste a minute of my time on a weekend.

Thanks
Steven

* Note: Facts stated in these rants are not actual facts. They are pieced together based on what I gather from the news talk shows and other sources. Anything read on the internet must be taken with a grain of salt.

*Note: I do not claim to be a professional author. This Web log will be chocked full of misspellings improper punctuation and grammatical errors. And, no, I will not go through and edit before posting! It defeats the purpose of a rant for me to go back and edit myself!

*Note: I live my day to day life in a specific location and therefore there are several local places that both annoy me, and make me happy and I will most likely reference them in my writings. If you don't live in Raleigh, NC don't start complaining that something isn't relevant just don't read that day's post.
