I've always thought that Calvinism was just a way to use religion as a means to justify greed,"God knows everything, so he must have wanted me to have all this material crap, otherwise he would not have allowed me to have it." Seeing as Ben Franklin was a Calvinist it's no wonder that a lot of American ideals are based on this very concept.
Me personally, I don't need to exploit others and have more stuff than someone else in order to feel good about myself.
My complaint, Hockey refs. I know they have a tough job, but c'mon. I play defense. In our game on Monday, the opposing team's guy takes a shot, so I bring my stick down on the guy in front of the net's stick, so that if there is a rebound he can't get to it. That guy then gets mad and punches me in the face. The ref yells at me. Apparently, Hockey USA changed the rules and what I did is now deemed slashing. I say,"but he punched me in the face", he says,"but you slashed him and could have broken his stick." It is the same move I have made twenty times a game since I started playing hockey. I wasn't going to break his stick and it wasn't slashing. And I don't see how you equate a hockey play like tying up a guy's stick, with punching someone in the face. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I should come to the realization that punching someone in the face is a hockey play.
Next time there's a guy in front of the net just sock him one in the face. If the ref gives you sh*t just tell him you were doing what he told you to last time.

I wish I could be in Geneva, Switzerland tomorrow for the 500th birthday celebrations of this great Frenchman. Maybe some major media outlet will have some coverage of the festivities.
It's just a bummer for me that I have to miss out on it.
That's a neat little tidbit of history. Nice.
My complaint for this week is lace bite. The ice at RIT opened today for weekly Wednesday open skates until the fall. It's no secret that I hate wearing hockey skates, which makes playing my favorite sport a painful experience. I have bony, weak ankles and bad circulation because I'm lanky. I have to tie my skates super tight to get enough support, which in turn makes my feet go numb (sometimes) and usually always makes the tops of my feet (where the ankle curves), sore and red. I have these nifty gel pads that I bought by a company named Maltese and they help a little with the bite and support, but it still leaves me wishing for a fifth of whiskey after about an hour on the ice. I don't know if maybe these super nice Easton's are just not right for me or what, but they were all I could get that came in a wider boot size. Maybe I need something with a different liner, who knows. All I know is I hate lace bite.

I have to start a real job next week. Well, not a 'real' job, just something to do over the summer. Anybody want coffee out of one of those little trucks look for me!
You're gonna be breakfast truck? Man, I love breakfast truck!

Oh I hate those.. and they're compressed, which makes a lack of motivation even harder to make up. We used to have mini-semesters *between* Spring and Summer that lasted like 3 weeks, meeting a lot, for too many hours per day.
We have a simple "summer quarter" here, which is just like every other quarter. 10 weeks with week 11 for exams and then a break. Unfortunately in the summer they like to make 5 week classes, so I'm smack in the middle of one right now. My final is next Thursday and I have a group presentation to prepare that I don't feel like doing.

Summer courses. Completely unmotivated.

Credit card processing fees. I'm trying to start a little side business to supplement the income. Merchant accounts, credit card processing gateways, per-transaction charges, monthly minimums... Stores ought to have a 'cash price' and a 'credit price.'
Some do. I've seen numerous gas stations that offer things cheaper with cash.

Rain. Sure we're well under where our average rain total for June should be, but I've been getting a lot of bike riding in, and today is one of my cardio days that I so desperately need. Now I'll have to go to the gym. I hate the gym. :censored:

1, Haven't you heard? Ye shall be as gods.
2, I completely understand. I went a bit over the top about my much-needed complaint about these CINO bookstores and their fawning over this anomalic family.
Oh, and here is an article that rightly indicts us Americans. This time, they told the Truth!

This we can agree on! I really really really really hate that show. I'm waiting for TLC to change the name of the channel to the J&K+8 channel. Is there any reason at all I should enjoy this exploitation of children? Can't we just let these kids live normal lives instead of following the family around with a camera? Keep raking in the cash mom and dad, glad your kids could provide for you. <_<

Moving houses. I moved into my new place on Sunday, and in the process of moving out of my old house, had to clean up all the things my housemates left behind. There was more stuff in that house that didn't belong to me, than did. Ridiculous. Glad I could be the one to take care of cleaning the place out. F*ckin lazy f*cks. It took me till 11:00 at night on Sunday to get the house ready to walk away from, including a mound of trashbags in the garage my landlord said I could leave there, fortunately.
I hate people who live where I live who have things.

I'm Finnished for now...
boy I haven't listened to HIM in a while, I wasn't expecting that from you. :thumbsup:

I know we were talkin about 90s music in here a while back, has anyone in Buffalo (or outside if you're like me and streaming it online) been listening to The Edge's 10 Years in 10 Days: The 1990s special that started Monday? It's pretty good, brings back some memories, albeit they're only at 1992 and I won't start really remembering things till 95 probably. Each DJ does his own thing during his show about that day's year, and Shredd and Ragan also spend a lot of time on it. Anyone else been listening?

And Black 47?
I'm not sure that any of 311's songs qualify as 'catchy' though.

They'd eat you alive at TSW... :chris:
A good reason I don't go there, it's a madhouse. :ph34r:
TSW is to Sabrespace what pbnation.com is to mcarterbrown.com. pbnation is a cesspool of cracked out, angsty teenagers talking about flashlights you can put your dick in, and occasionally conversation about paintball, but it's not recommended, despite what the title claims. mcarterbrown is a nice, relaxing, mature forum that smells of pipe smoke and fine whiskey, sorta like sabrespace, only here it smells like crisp ice and chicken wings, and sometimes inkman after he goes for a run.
And I like making fun of college hockey programs that are in their infancy. :thumbsup:Why I aughta! :chris:

What the hell are you talking about this time?
XC, seriously, I think you're a good guy, and I really like your hockey-related input, but who the hell was talking about Wallis or Campolo (BTW, I have no idea who these people are; as likely as not, they're complete twits), or accusing people of having agendas?
Everyone has their hobbies I suppose. Crosschecking's seems to be keeping up on anything remotely related to religion which is fine, honest.
But there's the idea that when complaining about something to a group of people you don't personally know, you want to connect with them on a mutual level. I play paintball, and hockey, and disc golf, and like RIT hockey, and obscure music and muscle cars, and wrenching on my vintage Honda motorcycle. If I come in here complaining about how Anton Kharin didn't show up in the last game, people might have a vague idea what I'm talking about, but there's no real connection. No one knows who Anton is. If I complain about how I'm pissed that Smart Parts keeps suing people over bogus copyright claims again, no one knows what I'm talking about. If I start b*tching about how much of a pain it was to clean my centrifugal oil filter, no one knows what I'm talking about.
I may have a completely valid complaint that has me all heated, but this isn't the place to express that particular complaint. Here is where I complain about life, and the Sabres. I save paintball, motorcycle stuff, legitimate life problems, etc. for mcarterbrown.com, and RIT hockey for USCHO.com. I guess it's just a matter of making the point, once again, that in depth religious discussion really doesn't fit on this particular forum. This isn't a large enough forum to have enough people willing to discuss it. And even on most large forums I frequent (mcarterbrown.com), they have sort of a "don't touch this subject" policy when it comes to religion and politics.
What am I getting at? I think it's a matter of taking a moment to think about whether the place you're posting something is the appropriate forum. In this crazy world of internets, it does sort of matter.

I did that the first year I was here in NC. Then the "yellow death" of pine tree pollen hit. One day of leaving our windows open in early spring had everything in the house covered with a thick yellow residue. You can always tell who the newer northern transplants are in the neighborhood by looking for houses with their windows open during pollen season.
We actually got that here in Rochester last year, I had never seen anything like it before. I've lived around woods and pine trees my whole life but last spring was sooo dry that it just blew around and collected on everything. Not that this spring hasn't been obscenely dry too, we're already 2" below the norm for the season. Although some nice rain the past few days is attempting to bring my front lawn back to life. :unsure:

Not the manliest song ever but I love it!
Replace the singers with Marty and Miller and try not to laugh.

People who pay for things with checks at the grocery store, during the busiest time of the afternoon, in the 7 items or less lane. Thank you for not only being a troglodyte, but for being completely inconsiderate to everyone else around you. If you're going to pay for three tubs of cool whip and a box of strawberries with a check, go stand in one of the "I have a cart full of sh*t" lines where everyone expects it to take forever. My 85 year old grandfather can at least use a Debit card, what's so hard about it? I'm a pretty patient person, but this is friggin 2009, let's get with the times. :censored:

It doesn't get any better than NHL '93 for sega genesis. Just stick with that and you can play it for free on your computer, no $300 gaming system needed.
amen, emulators are the sh*t. i'd never get through class without SEGA NHL 96.

You have a Grainger Industrial Supply in Fayetteville.
http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/wwg/produ...;L1=Cleaners%2C
Grainger will have anything you want. It's pretty much my favorite store ever. A warehouse with a small storefront. Typically used by businesses but any old joe can walk in there and buy stuff.
