The Brick Scammers
I went to “The Brick” last weekend with my girlfriend to find a new dining room table; we saw an ad in the paper for some cheap sets so decided to go there despite our feelings towards this place. When we got there, we were hounded by the salespeople right from the get go. We couldn’t walk 10 feet without having some cocksucker with a fake smile asking if he could give us a hand with anything. This kind of aggressive selling is so fucking annoying. Next time I think I’m gonna wear a plain white shirt and write the following in big bold letters…
“Just Browsing. So Fuck Off!”
… what do you guys think? I think these t-shirts would be a hit. And I don’t mean to single out The Brick for having such pushy pricks as employees. Most commission-based places are like this.
However, I have come to the point where I do not believe a fucking word that comes out of the mouth of a brick employee. I haven’t heard so much bullshit coming out of one place. I mean, according to them everything on the floor has only one more piece in stock so you better buy it now. Or have you ever had the “one day sale‘ sales pitch? You won’t see any ads in the paper or signs in the store but apparently the piece that you’ve shown interest on is actually on a one day sale so you should jump on the low price.
The last time I purchased something from the brick was my leather couch 3 years ago. They had it advertised on sale for $400; that was 50% off of the regular ticket price of $800. A few months later, I saw the couch there and it wasn’t on sale. However, the ticket price was nowhere near the regular price when I bought it. I am fucking convinced that this scamming company jacks up the ‘regular price’ just to make the sale prices so unbelievable.
Diary of the Dead Spoiler Review
Diary of the Dead is another installment of the “Dead” movie series by George Romero (Night of the Living Dead). Let me being this review with a short narrative excerpt from this movie…
Jason - “It used to be us against us. Now, it’s us against them.”
Debra (narration) - “He was right, us against them. Except that they…. were us.”
…what the fuck? Didn’t she just say what he said. But, backwards. It seems that Mr. Romero attempted to get ‘deep’ in this latest of his zombie flicks. But, wow did he ever fucking fail. This movie was absolutely brutal. There were a couple parts in this movie where you can tell that they were trying to get all philosophical and shit; I found myself scratching my head after every one of those parts.
And it wasn’t just the storyline that sucked ass in this movie. The acting was disgusting. I mean, this is not at all different from the other movies, but, this was exceptionally bad. The horrible acting made the sad attempts at humor funny; but not in the way that they may have wanted. It also made the attempts at character development uninteresting and unbelievable.
Do yourselves a favor and do not see this movie. Beating yourselves over the head with a pot for an hour and a half would be more entertaining. It will also give you less of a headache.
My Apologies
Sorry folks. I’ve been on a bit of a blogging hiatus lately, and I apologize; although I doubt that my lack of posts is really effecting anyone’s day to day life. To be honest, I would say this would be more of an apology to myself. This post just puts it in an official capacity.
This blog has really helped me contain my anger since it’s inception. I strongly believe this, now. This previous month, stress has really been hitting me. And, with it came anger. I found myself getting angry over stupid little things to those who simply do not deserve the verbal abuse that I am, regrettably, able to dish out. Coincidentally, this previous month I have had zero posts. And, yes, I am aware that this could simply be a coincidence. But I cannot afford to overlook the possibility that writing about the shit that pisses me off actually helps me resolve my anger issues.
So, whether anybody actually reads this piece of shit blog of mine or not; I am sorry. I hope to supply a fairly frequent pace of posts again. And, along with those posts, I hope to relieve some stress and frustration and become a better me. Why am I being so sappy? Because I’m tired of yelling at people over nonsense issues. Because I’m tired of having to apologize to my close friends and family for being such an asshole all the time. Because I hate walking into a room knowing that people are talking shit about me; not because they’re talking shit about me, but, because I know I deserve it.
But, enough of this ‘opening up’ session. Let’s blog on, people.
