A little ignorance.
I think it was yesterday that my work put out our holiday schedule for next year. Generally we get Good Friday off as one of our floater days, but this year was different. We got the following Monday off instead. This caused some people to get pissed off in the process. One guy, this ratty white trash type, tells me "This is bullshit they take away Good Friday and give us some n--ger holiday" thinking they gave of MLK day off. He thought we got it off because most of our facility in Arkansas is black. He said well they're ignorant they can't learn, we should have slaves, we are the superior race. It kind of pissed me off. I'm an asshole and I don't like most people, but I'm no better than anyone. I told him that we are all equally worthless on this planet. Because I believe that.
I'm all for not liking someone for most reasons. But race, no. That's just pathetic. It's like other countries hating us because we're American. That's ignorance. I know a few people, mostly from work, that still believe they are divine because the lack of color in their skin.
But enough of the serious stuff.
I was playing my Xbox last night and the damn disk was kind of scratched and wouldn't play. It reminded me of the good ole days of the 8 bit Nintendo. Remember how they would eventually stop playing games normally? You had to do some trick to get it to play. It was like cracking the vault and the Federal Reserve. If you didn't have it just right you get that flashing screen when you turned it on. Some of my favorite tricks were; blow on the game and the console then push then game in just far enough so that you had to force it down. Or washing the games prongs and when you push it down wedge another game in there to hold it down. Do you have any old tricks?
I was playing Amped 2, and it cracked me up. I was so emotional about not being able to land certain tricks that I was cussing at the T.V. I remember my stepdad use to do that and I'd always make fun of him for it. And now I'm doing the same thing. Granted I only do it with this type of game, I'm the same way with Tony Hawk, and Dave Mirra's game. This is why I never bought any of them I didn't want to pay for so much frustration. That's the same reason I stopped going to strip clubs with my friends.
