Actually I don't know what I'm at yet, but I'm sure its far more then Deux (two). I have not ranted in a long time, partly because I ranted about darn near everything. So I'll just go on about a few things, a few things that really get my fuzz in a curl.

Patriotism. "OMG FUZZ IS T3H TRAITZORS" No no no, I'm all for loving your country and doing what we do to keep our freedoms...but...oh...my...gosh, we take it to a petty level. Remember when we changed "FRENCH" fries, to freedom fries?

FREEDOM FRIES?!?! WHAT KIND OF RETARD NAME IS THAT?! Yeah I get it, were free, we have rights and what not...and to remind us, your going to stick it to those smelly frenchies by renaming fries...that bare their name. Its not even a clever name...They just wanted to make it as american as possible, but all they did was make it as cheesy and stupid as possible. So where is the "freedom toast?" I get pretty sick of everyone making this little speech about why America is great...I mean I know already, we are free, our soldiers fighting for us, its become a big cliche. People always say the same things, and then the audience applauds and whistles....-___- But atleast its better then all those people on forums who use any story or video to make it known that "americans are stupid." Those people annoy me...Its like...If were so stupid Achmed...Then how come we are the greatest world power, with the greatest actually working government. How come we are free, and you were just saved by us because you were living under a dictator? Oh thats right...I guess the stupid Americans saved your butt douche face! We could make arguments to any other nation who wants to say that America sucks. Its not perfect, but what is? And you know all those stupid Military/Army commercials? I'm so friggen tired of those. I know its a good way to get people to recruit and it saves us alot of trouble....but my gosh. I don't think I can take another "become army strong" message. You see the one where the two kids are playing that war game which obviously isn't a game but a cell shaded real life video...and the guy taps on the screen and says "you guys look like your really into this, you ready for a real challenge?"...THAT ONE IS STUPID! Just because some guys like playing war games doesn't mean that they want to strap on a hot heavy suit, fly acrossed the world, and possibly get blown apart. You see...In their "less challenging" game, they aren't going to die. The Army seems to go with this flashy, get you all pumped up advertisement which Is dumb. It feels cheap to me. If people could just tone everything down for a freaking second, stop pumping their retarded music that they always have blaring during each commercial...Stop having these in your face jackasses talking and talking and talking and talking so annoyingly enthusiastic, and just tell us what your mother frigging product is, what it does, and how to get it!

Stop with your "BUT WAIT!" and "CALL NOW!" AND THE CONSTANT TALKING AND NOISE! I CANT STAND THE NOISE! gaaaaaaahhhh!!!!


>_>

<_<

I'm sick of seeing cars fly around corners in all these angles while some stupid model who won't stop freaking smiling, shows my why the "mercury milan" or whatever its called, is the editors choice of whatever dumb face magazine. I mean holy crap, cars are a major purchase and we advertise them like its a face cream. And don't get me started on those face cream commercials. Look ladies, we can tell there was nothing on your face, so splashing a palm full of water in slow motion, is not going to wash it off!
I hate Mc. Donalds...I hate their edgy, early twenties, ethnic theme they have. I get it, black people eat at Mc. Donalds too, SHUT UP!! They are incredibly unfunny. And their retard slogan doesn't help any. "i'm lovin it" ITS GRAMMAR ISN'T EVEN RIGHT! And what are you lovin? The fries??...the freedom fries? Is that what your lovin? I like how they tell you that if your low on money, just come to Mc. Donalds and get these big huge burgers on the dollar menu. Fist of all, if your low on money, don't go to Mc. Donalds, second...those burgers are very...very tiny. But then you'll see attack ads like that A&W commercial where they say that Mc. Donalds uses beef from New Zealand. OMG NU WAI!!! IT CANT BEEEEEEEEE!!! who cares?! Its all beef, its all cows, it still goes through the same health and safety regulations here in America! They actually tried to use that as a way to basically say that they are all American, and Mc. Donalds is what?... a terrorist?

I had to use another public restroom yesterday...It wasn't fun. You see, I was awoke with the news that within the hour, I had to be ready to drive an hour away from home to get fitted for a suit for my brothers wedding.
Its a huge problem for me, as I have this insane IBS or whatever it is. So as you can imagine, it would be like taking some x-lax, then taking a nice little trip in the back of a van feeling car sick and claustrophobic. So close to our first stop, which is the collage about half way there...I have to go bad...I mean RIGHT NOW. you know that feeling? You get the cold feeling in your body, that pain in your lower abdomen, the squirming and the impending doom...But luckily I get there, and make a break for the bathroom...which low and behold! is public. The worst creation ever...I would beat whoever got this idea in the face till they saw things my way. Id beat them so bad in their own public bathroom till they were just as afraid of them as I am. Luckily, it wasn't that bad. The stalls were still pathetic, but atleast the gaps on the door weren't monsterous. But it was still short, and had a big ole gap on the bottom. Now If I'm in there, with the problems I'm having, Knowing I still have half a trip to go, and then back....I'm not going to be doing so well. Anyways after thats all done, I feel like I have to go, but even worse this time. And so I do...And my stomach hurts so bad, its impossible to hold, and some guy walks in! And I can't see him, hes being really quiet...and if theres one thing I need right then, was some noise to mask mine! So I'm trying to make noise by fumbling with stuff, but this guy just wont leave >_< But he finally does, and then after while so do I. Luckily I made it all the way there and back without any more problems. I was fitted at the mens warehouse by a 32 year old...most certainly gay...guy who really likes nartuo. He saw that I had this naruto wrist band, and was talking to me about it. But I hate naruto, and the only reason I have it is because my friend didn't want it, and I like wrist bands. BELIEVE IT! I was lookin fly in my crazy shiny loafers and formal jacket. They are really techincal there...You don't walk in and pick a suit or try it on...you have to fill out forms, give them information, your weight, height, birth day, all kinds of stuff...And then some guy will measure you all over and have you put some things on.

Also another reason I'm bitter at army commercials. I was trying to watch this video online, and before it started, I had to sit through a 2 minute video on why I should join the army. I couldn't skip it, pause, fast forward...anything, I was FORCED to watch it if I wanted to see the video after it, and it was just wrong. And the video after it sucked...it was like 10 seconds long. Theres little petty things I hate more then Commercials.
So what happened to greenday? I was just listening to their song "time of your life" and its a really beautiful song. Pretty lyrics, they have a wonderful violin sequence...(the greatest instrument, its a disgusting shame its rarely used...I'll get to that in a minute) Its a very good song, and now...they are like this grunge band with a political message like "american idiot" I'm bitter at politics because they seem to ruin EVERYTHING for me. It sneaks its way into everything and diseases it. Music artists I onced liked will change into these loosers who think that whatever political statement they have needs to be plastered all over their music. TV shows I liked will start putting out messages, or the jokes will all be about political figures. look... I don't want to hear what you have to say! I don't care, so quit going on like your going to change the world by saying who you hate, why you hate it, and why your right.

So like I was saying the Violin is the greatest instrument of all time. It fits so well with anything and all genre's. I don't know why its used so little, it sounds so amazing, and makes everything so much more ....grrr...AWESOME! For instance, go listen to "time of your life" and think about what it would have sounded like without that instrument....It would suck. I'm sick to hell of electric guitars and electronic crap. Frankly I'm sick of todays music. I mean...Right now I'm listening to Jennifer Holiday "I'm telling you I'm not going" and its a great song. Its like we lost all soul or enthusiasm in music today. Its lost its magic just as much as disney has. Music is frankly diseased. I attribute that to MTV bull crap. I hate rappers, I hate them so much, because they actually get lumped in with people who actually do make music, and top the freaking charts! Its sick, its sickens me that these people get the money, praise and adoration that they do. They don't deserve a freaking cent. Rap is the modern art in art.

"But Mr. Fuzzle, how many licks of a tootsie pop does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop?"

no wait...wrong question.

"But Mr. Fuzzle, what singers do you think are talented?"

I'll tell you adoring fan.
"The Goo Goo Dolls" is an amazing music band. They use violin and instruments beautifully, its not just a heeping noise while some guy screams out poetic crap in a whiny voice. They have beautiful lyrics, music, and amazing talent. I have never found one band that gave me so many favorites.

"Brian Adams" His music you will find in movies like Spirit, and he is one of the greatest voices to me. His song "I will always return" just gives you that tingly feeling while listening to it, and "Everything I do I do it for you" is a long but wonderful meaningful song :3

I also like some songs from U2, and the rest are just random songs from random people.
Oh, and Hans Zimmer is the absolute greatest composer of all time.

We have these immature bands today. They think they are making statements with this crappy emo poetry...and their voices...oh my gosh! Its so whiny. And why in the hell can't black women sing about anything other then their man cheating on them and them throwing them out?

Why? why why why!? On the subject of cheating...I just don't get it. You get yourself into this whole relationship with someone, but then all of a sudden you think, hey...I'm going to complicate the hell out of my life by having sex with some other guy and keep everything secret while this increasingly large ulcer starts to bleed. They obviously feel its wrong enough that they have to hide it, but once they get caught, they blame it all on their spouse. "wah wah, you are never there" "boo hoo, you don't tell me you love me" SHUT UP YOU DOUCHE FACE! WHILE HES AWAY AT HIS JOB SUPPORTING YOUR SLUTTY BUTT, YOU HAVE THE NERVE TO USE THAT AS AN EXCUSE TO CHEAT ON HIM!? You guys don't know how bad I want to go rambo on the people on the show "cheaters". Its amazing how many people get mad at the people who catch someone cheating, or who think cheating is wrong. That just goes to show you that their trying to protect their cheating lifestyle. I don't get it, I don't get whats wrong with people. I've always just wanted on girl, my entire life. I've always felt that Id rather have love far over sex, and that I want to find my special girl, and live my whole life with her. I would never even think about cheating, why should I? Its stupid. If you don't love that person anymore, just break it off...Of course its going to be hard! but whats going to be harder? Breaking up, or living a life of secrets till you they find out and you hurt two people far worse.

GAH! Okay I'm done :3 *holds out donation box*

Remember Fuzzle Loves you :3

Hanz Zimmer? Pssh, James Newton Howard owns. Get the soundtrack for "The Village."

I listen to everything...I have Mozart and Metallica on my iPod.

No jokey. Most 20th/21st century music is far from artful, but I luffs what I luff.

And for me, stress is easily alleviated by watching two people whale on each other with lightsabers. Twice.

Negro pleeeze. Hans Zimmer was behind the Lion King. The Village won't top that.

Don't you mean Elton John...? Hans Zimmer was behind Gladiator and Potc, which have admittedly good soundtracks, but this is the first time I've ever heard of him behind the lion king.

Quite a rant you have there Fuzz :D

I come from the town where the "freedom fries" name was invented, and yes you're right it is a retarded name... French Fries have almost nothing to do with France...Frenching is a cooking term for how fries are cut, it might have been invented by french cooks, I don't know but it doesn't mean the idea to cut potatoes (or make french toast) came from the French... but yeah that's my bit...

and yeah, political messages killed greenday...

Uhm....Elton John in the Lion King? Your thinking of every other Disney Movie ;) Hans Zimmer was behind Lion King, like the song "Here comes the King". I think Elton John did one song for the Lion king, but I always confuse him for someone else.

On Army ads: I wouldn't be so harsh with the army. While most advertising companies have only their profit margins to think of, the Army is a lot different, and there is a lot more riding on recruitment than just profits. Cut 'em some slack, they're no worse than any other advertiser.

On restrooms: Gawd I hate public bathrooms. Except, of course, the restroom at this restaurant nearby called Ryan's. It's got stalls, but the walls of the stalls are full concrete(floor to ceiling) and the doors are solid wood doors that are also floor to ceiling, and they have weather stripping on them so there are no cracks. As a plus, it's always spotlessly clean.

On the suit thing: Fufufu, I have an easy way out of getting fitted for suits. I wear my ROTC uniform to everything that formal.

On cheating: Blech. I don't see how one can cheat on one's spouse and delude their self into thinking that they have a good reason. I've seen too many friends get hurt by cheating boyfriends. =/

*drops a quarter into the donation box*

For the win.

thats how bathrooms should be. If not an individual bathroom, how about each stall is individually divided by real walls and doors.

At least we can be satisfied that the freedom fries aren't uniquely American. Remember the Mohamed cartoon controversy? Well, danishes are very popular in Iran, so they renamed them "Roses of the Prophet Muhammad," which probably sounds much better in Western Farsi.

As for composers, I'm partial to Jerry Bock, Rachmaninoff (I haven't heard any of his pieces, but there's something to be said for driving pianists insane), Samuel Cohen (only heard Hatikvah, and I already love his work), and Aaron Copland. Edit: And Uematsu and Hisaishi.

As for rap, I agree that what they make isn't music. Properly, it should be under the same classification as Beowulf.

I hate political music. I mean, why did the Beats have to go on and on. We get it, you're tired of the government producing propaganda in sit-com form (Leave It To Beaver), so would you shut up already?

On Dating: Well. I may be a pebble on Mt. Olympus, but man. I feel as though I've had my fair share to hear about dating for the rest of my life. Everywhere I look, people are talking about this thing called love. (Man, I'm so hip) I just don't see what so flipping great about it.

I'll front with you all. I'm not into the obsession called love. I haven't been and at the rate of things, probably never will. I can't stand it when people fall in love either because when they just first get with a girl, that's all they give a stick about. (Don't dare deny it to those who have a very soft spot for their lover) I've lost friends because of it too. Yeah, love makes everybody happy, huh? Well if it makes everyone happy, so be it. Let there be joy for everyone.

To sum this up, rabble rabble I hate teens who think they found their love rabble rabble! >_<

I was gonna rant on about porn, but I know there will be too many people offended because some people are THAT insecure when someone has an opinion or some insight. Otherwise, you get someone who will call your opinion baseless and full of crap. In fact, you can COUNT an intellectual would shoot down my opinion, so I wont bother on that.

*Sigh* I've had a bad month since I've graduated... I need to get out of town, away from my family, and find my life instead of waiting for it...

Moddex: Teens thinking they're in love and real, actual love are two very, very different things and must be properly separated. :P

Anymore true love is prolly a rarity, most of the time it is the urge to mate maybe, bleh, never got into this subject.

Methinks the 20th century has diluted concepts of love into "Love, love, and love." Granted, we're still aware of this type of love, and that type of love, but they used to be all over the place. Example? There was a time when a 50-year-old man could say he loved another man he had no relations to, and no one would think he was gay. I think we can all agree we've largely put the love concept into a melting pot- that very few people are aware of true love- that in fact, love itself seems to be yet another thing the pompous, "revolutionary" new century has made outdated, illogical, and pointless.

Fuzzle! *glomp* I missed your rants! In fact, I missed them so much that I was going to make a thread about it! And then you had a rant! Yaaaay!

I hate what modern connotation has done to "love." The simple phrase "I love you" has suddenly become so serious and weighty that it's generally reserved only for the "romance" love. There can also be very strong, binding, platonic friendship love. This is something that I've tackled in my writing quite a bit in hopes of finding my own definitions, because I try to tell the people for whom it's true that I love them...which usually isn't a problem, unless they take it too seriously. I mean, what do you say to your best friend, "I like you a lot?" "I'm exceedingly fond of you?" It just doesn't work. ...And it's frustrating when I want to tell my girlfriend I love her, because neither of us is ready for the huge "actual" "I love you" step, but it's something I want her to know...so it has to come with a disclaimer like, "I love you in the way I love my close friends." Oy. Stupid English.

I like the military commercials...I mean, there are plenty of organizations that have terrible commercials, but the military is not one of them. Just watch Spike TV for a day >.< But the military commercials are...idealistic, I guess, of that "American dream" concept. I don't think that patriotism is a bad thing, but when it turns into egotism it is. It's healthy to have pride in your country, it's dangerous and stupid to think it's better than all the other countries. Anyway, yeah, idealistic of the soldier who wants to protect his country...and for a country that was born entirely from revolution, that's important. Plus, not gonna lie, I love that one where the guy has to climb the mountain ^_^ Pretty sexy.

Aw, give rap a break. Yeah, I know, I hate it too, but I always hate it for the lyrics. They're generally pretty disgusting. I have this Christian rap group, and until I heard them, I never knew what potential rap had. I can't listen to more than a few songs at a time, really, but it is its own form of art. Maybe not "music," exactly, but a mixture of that and poetry and performance.

Oh yeah, and I agree that teenagers who think they're in love is way different than true love. I don't think that people are capable of a true and deep love until they're a bit older, an age that I'm close to, but not quite at. Of course it's different for everyone and I would believe someone my age or a little younger if they said they were in love (if I knew the person pretty well)...but people like to rush into it. People want to be in love, it's what we see in the media and hear in our music and watch on our movies. But it comes with patience and work and time and the right connection between two people.

As for cheating, it's something I don't understand, because it's something I could never do. Heck, I've never ditched class a single day in my life because I'd end up turning myself in before the end of the period. But through my characters, I've grown to understand it maybe a little. People in a loveless relationship get desperate for that love and connection with someone else and they'll make the wrong decision and seek it out in secret. It's sad. (Of course, there are exceptions to this, I know, but I like to give the world the benefit of the doubt.)

Thank you, Fuzzle ^_^ *puts a Sacagawea dollar into the donation*

YAY! Another rant! Finally!

I pretty much agree with fuzzle on all of these issues, heck, several of them I have tried to rant about on the irc, to no avail.

*ruffles the money in the jar and acts like he gave $5*




p.s. if you dont get it, read dilbert ;)
