Valentine's Day has a point, if you are Hallmark and chocolate manufacturers. Otherwise, it serves to make a lot of people feel bad and inadequate -- like a lot of commercial holidays do.

Carpeting in your house is not gross. Hardwood floors are not required for your home to be amazing. Sorry, hardwood floor installers and DIY shows...

I got my mom and sister roses for Valentine's Day. (They live together, so it was only one vase.)

People who have a significant other should be able to celebrate VD if they so choose without having to listen to all of us single people whining about how VD is only for couples. It's about love. Deal with it. Not every holiday has to pertain to everyone. I don't make plans for Tet, Purim, Dia de los Muertos or a host of other things that aren't in my culture/religion/lifestyle. If it pertains to you or interests you, go celebrate. If not, step back and let others enjoy it.

You aren't alone on that one, Loo. I never got the point of that one. It's like "Big Bang Theory". I find nothing funny about it. I think it's stupid.

I will not watch awards shows for entertainers, that includes NHL Awards. The Oscars were on last night, so this is my yearly rant on them. These celebrities get paid millions of dollars for making movies. They spend a few months, sometimes in a beautiful location, then take a few months to a couple years off. There are a several awards shows, and these people spend a lot of money to get dressed up, rent limos, and get their pictures taken, all in an effort to pat themselves on the back. The most disgusting part of this is the gift bag that they receive. That bag, this year, is worth around $160, 000. There is so much in that bag that they don't even carry them out anymore...they are delivered the next day. There are people in North America, and of course the rest of the world, that struggle to make house payments and pay other bills, while working a full year. Some people don't have homes, and rely on shelters to survive the winter, let alone to get a hot meal once in a while. Millions of dollars are spent on each Oscar night so that entertainers can revel in their own glory. Today, after sleeping off the huge parties where everything is paid for, some of those people will get back to recording public service announcements about how my $30 can save someone on the other side of the world. Those people are irrelevant to me. Their opinions on how to help people do not matter in the slightest. I know that some of them do a lot to help. Some of them will support a foundation that they have founded, but this seems too self serving for me. Celebrities are disgusting people.

I didn't watch them either. I could care less. I haven't seen many movies that I really want to see lately. I love the Coen Brothers movies, though.

Al Bundy is awesome - and he was never afraid to speak his mind, and give his opinion on women - no matter how retarded he looked :lol:

Yeah I mean, nobody will ever beat #33 with 4 touchdowns in one game ! for the almighty James K. Polk from Polk High !

Then his famous No Ma'am (N ational Organization of Men Against Women Masterhood *rofl*) club and Jefferson coming up with his Yes M'aam shirt whenever Marcy Dary showed up, good times good times. Kelly has been a hot chick back then. The only sad episode was when the Bug died in the series and I've found out that the dog died in real-life too.

Another famous Home Improvement moment: Tim talks about how women are only playing with dolls and then he asked for a full set of women in his next tooltime episode but only received hate-mails *rofl*

Baltimore PD, and Maryland National Guard should use any means necessary to stop these looters, and those rioting.

Tread carefully. That subject teeters perilously on the edge of political discussion, which has been well documented previously as not being allowed.

I generally don't like coffee, or tea.

I don't dislike cats, but I love dogs more.

I'm sure this will tick off some people. Whoever told Robert Plant that he could sing was tone deaf. He can't carry a tune in a 15-ton gravel truck. That band should have just played the music and not let anyone sing. The minute he opens his mouth to sing, he ruins the song. I don't care what song it is, he ruins it when he opens his mouth. It's the reason I hate Led Zeppelin with a purple passion.

I think everyone should have a funeral.

It doesn't have to be a service- religious or otherwise- nor does it have to be formal.

People just need to get together with other people who are mourning the passing of the same person.

(RIP Sharon)

I used to want to be made into a marionette like Bob barker was for the last five years on the price is right, but no one else was into that.

Now I want a viking funeral. Coins on my eyes, and light me on fire on top of a pyre.

My family was fighting at my grandpas funeral last month, which made me feel horrible.

My poor grandma.

So me and her left and went to the casino while they all went to eat...

Which she loved, I still have family that won't talk to me because of it...

But I think, if you're fighting in front of a woman who's been widowed after 65 years of marriage, you deserve to be hit in the mouth.

Sorry for your loss.

I want a sendoff that looks exactly like my life. I want the family I talk to, not the family that I haven't talked to in 25 years. I want the friends that are actual friends, not the people that call when they need something from me. I want them all to be laughing and having a good time. I want stories told and I want them making fun of me and each other. I want it like I was still there...because I will be.

Agreed. Good for you for taking care of Grandma.

The night of my dad's funeral, all of the male relatives were in the basement watching some basketball game. All the ladies were in the living room knitting and crocheting and all that stuff. Mom said I could have the Wings game on, but I had to mute it.

Mom went into the kitchen and Hossa (who was then a Wing) got in a fight. I hollered out to the kitchen, "Mom! Hossa's fighting!" She came tearing back into the living room to see.

The lady relatives looked at her like she had two heads. Mom got all embarrassed and said, "Oh, I don't like when they fight like that. I wish they'd just play nice."

My mom is (finally) the coolest.
