It was always my understanding that Instant Messaging is suppose to be used to talk to people via the INTERNET. Whether you were right next door or the other side of the world. Its a great idea. I have a problem with people and away messages. I think it is a good idea that if you are busy or if you just stepped away from your desk to throw one up. But seriously what is the purpose of people to simply sign online just to leave an away message up. I can understand if you are of somewhat important.Other then that no. I just dont understand it. I get online do my thing and get off. I turn on my instant messaging to talk to people. When I dont wanna talk I turn it off. The only reason why I say this is simple. I have a few friends who shall remain nameless who simply turn on the INTERNET to just leave an away message up. One person in particular I never have even had the opportunity to talk to on AI'M. She always is away. How bout the people that forget they leave IM on and then they box goes grey. Then you are like oh hey Joe "whats up", and they are not there. Somethings I just dont understand. Anyone care to explain why people do this and do what they do?

Wow, what can I say its been a while since I wrote here Estrip. Well sorry fellow strippers been a little buzy, but dont worry I'm back to bitch bout something that bothers me yet again. I went on vacation the previous week to the Caribbean and came up with a new idea. This time it is people on airplanes and flying in general. No I'm going off on flying, I made my point on that. I'm talking bout getting onto this machine crated by man and once again being stuck in an uncomfortable position just like in an elevator. So where can I begin? Flying First Class OK so I flew for the first time this way on one of my four plane trips this past week. (Not to my choice I was bumped up, But Il ltake it). What is the big deal. Why have it . I think basically it is for people to simply show off. I mean why spend all this extra money just so you can have your own bathroom, more food, bigger seat and other shit? Let me tell you something, if the plane is going to crash or something happens out of the blue, do you actually think they are gonna save the first class first. Fuck that its everyone for themselves. OK which brings me to my next problem with flying. The people they stick you next to. Is it just me or does the airline purposely say OK lets put him next to the fat guy. Or the person with bad breath. Or the old lady who has to tell you here whole story and how she is going on this trip and that like I did. I tired ignoring her and tried to give her the hint that I wasn't interested, but I couldn't be asshole so I played along. This has to be worse because unlike in an elevator you can just get off the next floor. I was stuck next to here for 3 and 1/2 hours. So we ended up getting meals on the plane which I though was pretty cool. Usually I'm resorted to eating my peanuts, having my soft drink and enjoying the turbulence. We ended up getting a muffin as one of the products. Cool right well except for the old lady next to me ask for a knife so she could cut her muffin in half. They told her no. Like she was actually gonna get a knife on a plane. After all the airport security, the metal detectors, nd stuff she wants a knife. Lets go cause some havoc and crash the pilots right now. JJ. But hey guess what they gave me when I flew first class on the way home. A knife. A metal one too. Well I had to butter by roll. Talk about a double standard. It was a butter knife, but you get my point. People and going ot the bathroom Why is it that the minute the pilots take off the fasten seat belt sign people rush to the bathroom or immediately have to stand up.Seriously shouldn't you try to go befor you get on the plane. Now I know when its a long flight and nature calls, but we are talking bout holding it a matter of only 20 minutes going by from takeoff to the light goes off. Ever try to go in the bathroom of a plane, its like another country in itself. Good luck and congrats to those who have joined the "mile high" club. I often figure how you can get teo people in one of those, or for that matter a person over the weight of 300 lbs. Aisle or window Picking you seat does come with the option of usually getting to determine exactly where you can sit. Aisle or window. Most people like one of the other. No one ever ask for the middle. I'm looking forward to meeting someone that does. So meting about having to share the arm rest with two people instead of having your own just doesn't seem right. The old lady next to me kept on refusing to share the arm rest. Why does she get 2 and I only get one. But I got her back, I claimed my 1/2 when she wasn't looking. Any how they asked m where I wanted to sit. But you know they were pulling my leg, it didn't matter. I was expecting window seats and I was stuck on the aisle 3 of the 4 flights. Well at least it wasn't the middle. I think they shouldn't ask. Sitting in you Seat Am I the only one that ever notices people dotn seem to care about the people being them when it comes to flying. I mean people can chose to have there seat in and upright position or back. But do you ever here a warning from warning fro the person in front of you when they are indeed putting their seat back. It like ok here it comes. Now you are more closed in. LOL You have no choice but to put your seat back and then we create the domino effect. All I'm asking for is a warning. i dont care if you put it back or not but at least tell me before I'm reaching for a book from my bag underneath your seat and I get hit in the head fro my your seat. Thanks. How bout the guy who sits behind you and has to use your head rest from your seat as a means to help him stand up. Then your seat gets pulled back without notice. Since when was I aware that this was acceptable. Sitting next to Emergency Windows Dont really have a problem with this once expect for when the stewardess ask you that in case of an emergency would I mind helping out. OK where did this come from. Just because I'm sitting next to the exit, does that make me responsible to help. Do i get a discounted ticket if I say ok? Ill sit next to them all the time if that is the case. Count me in. But Im still saving my ass first.

Over the course of the weekend I had the opportunity to participate in probably one of the stupidest conversations for me in a while. ( I know I have a lot of stupid conversations but whatever) In fact, it still gets a little bit underneath my skin when I think about the whole conversation. Now anyone that knows me , knows that I love to debate over situations. Also that I'm a very analytical person. I can analyse something to a T and blah blah blah. The conversation was between myself and my friends girlfriend. We had gone out for my buddies bday and I was talking to his GF. We began a little conversation between the two of us that we always seem to have debating who is a better Super Hero. Batman or Superman. Now I'm not gonna go on a rampage bout these two fighting forces but lets just stake the matter as it is. There is no comparison. Superman is by far the greatest superhero of all time. All Batman is, is a rich guy with a lot of toys. So we started to discuss flying. She kept going on how Batman can fly. I was like um no. She kept going on bout cause he has a cape that he can glide(fly) to certain destinations. OK, so if I had a cape I could fly too. She says yes. She also says that the definition of flying is being suspended in motion in the air. OK so let me get this straight. If I were to jump out of a tree 10ft high and hit the ground, before I hit the ground I was flying. She says Yes. This is what she believes. I was shell-shocked. How can 1 person believe that if you jump off of something for a split second you are flying! As bad as this sounds, the people who jumped from the Twin Towers to their death 1200 ft flew down instead of falling. Remember that one. Somehow I just cant believe that. If someone can truly fly, like a bird they can control the motion they travel in, not being directed in a straight line A to B motion. The worst thing about this conversation was that she was so determined to believe that she was right. I did look up the definition of flying in the dictionary and to an extent she is a little right but she is defiantly reaching for it. The definition explains how one can fly if they are lifted through the air like a kite. OK I get your point but to me that still isnt truly flying. That isn't the exact same thing as a bird or Superman does. Jumping off of the ground and back again in a spilt second isn't flying. The definition backs my point by saying move through air . If one truly could fly when they jumped then they should be able to decide if they wanna go back into the same place when they fall, or say a little to the left and then to the right. Whatever you get my point. I guess I'm going to have to go home and get my Superman cape from Halloween. Then when I see her Ill give it to her and ask for a demonstration of how she can fly from 10ft in the air to the ground say from on top of my garage. But maybe she will surprise me and fly up and away instead of jumping down to the ground. Then Ill defiantly be confused on the whole idea of flying. But Maybe ill prove my point.

OK, So I'm gonna leave a quick short little rant, a little problem that I have to simply get it off of my chest. One of my biggest pet peeves about friends, significant others or people in general is when they tell you the thing only to go around and do something complete the opposite. For example ever try to make that hot date with the girl or guy of your dreams get all dolled up and ready to go out, only to get that phone call two minutes before you show up. Or how bout when you make plans to get together with like 6 or 7 of your friends to do something you talked about only to have them all cancel or half of them because they got to drunk the night before and cant get off of the couch. Yeah that makes me feel great. Sorta gets underneath my skin. All I'm asking is that well if people wanna go on the flow of things and just sorta wing life by then that's there thing not me. I like to make plans and try to stick with them. I hate to cancel things on people because of not that its my concern but it might be their. Sometimes people dont realize what effect they have on others through their actions. Why cant people just be honest with each other? If someone doesn't wanna go out on a date with someone or go out to get a drink at the bar, simply just tell them. Id appreciate it alot more if someone told me "no Angryshortkid I dont wanan go out tonight cause it is shitty outside or I have work/school in the morning", then hearing "well call me in an hour Ill let you know. Maybe Ill go out". Just friggen tell me, dont make me sit around while you already know your not gonna come out or do something. Dont make me make plans with you and cancel them. Then by the time you do tell me you cant go out you leave me sitting on my ass watching TV with nothing to do. Now I know that certain things cant be avoided and circumstances sometimes result that are not control able, I hold know one accountable. But when you tell someone yeah defiantly Ill show up and then you dont or a call is made and they are like I totallty forgot, that's stupid. Dont make a promise you cant keep. This rant doest go out to anyone in particular and isnt directed at just one person or people that may post on this site or read it on a regualr basis. It simply is a message to get my thoughts across about something that bothers me. Now that Im done bitchin. Im gonna go enjoy March it a new month. The past is the past. But does anyone else out their on the ESTRIP feel the same way as me? Let me know.
