Stupidus Populus Part Deux

Yes. There is yet another entry to the series, even though prior to this there was only one, so it couldn't be really called a series.

I just can't get enough reasons to stop making fun of stupid people. Sure, I may have my own stupid moments, but that's what they are. Moments.

This time I'm going to make fun of the typical consumer. Yes, even though many others before me have touched on the subject.

I'm going to start at the place of my work. A bookstore. There is a very large sign located in the center of the store. Visible to even those who enter from both the mall entrance and the main entrance. Yet, there are still those few who walk up to the Customer Service kiosk and assume they can purchase their items there. But see, here's the thing.. there are no registers located at the kiosk! None!

The only registers there are, are located to the right of either entrance. That's all.
Mind that this particular store has been open for a mere eight months. Isn't that enough time to get used to the store's layout?

Apparently not. Another type of consumer that amuses me are the ones that ask where a particular section of the store is, yet it's literally right in front or next to them. Normally it's fine, but if it's right next to your face? That would make you a "Dee Dee Dee." Yes, that's right. I've adpoted Carlos Mencia's catch phrase. It's a lot better fitting than Bill Engval's "Here's Your Sign."

The final consumer in the work place are those who frequent the cafe. Now, the cafe is part of the store. Yet there are those who assume it is a Starbucks within the store, just like a McD's within a Walmart. This however, isn't the case. Just because we sell Starbucks stuff, does not make it a Starbucks. So therefore, we naturally do not accept the Starbucks Gift Cards! =D

It got so bad that we had to put up a sign in ALL CAPS saying that we didn't accept them. -_-;
That's pretty bad.

Stupidus Populus

Stupid People.

Another loathe that deserves a full on rant entry.

This entry is about a particular household in Pennsylvania. Mckees Rocks, PA to be exact.

I first met P on an online game called Ragnarok Online. Which, I'll have to thank P for introducing me to my loving partner in life. I'll fastforward a bit.

As time went on and I've talked to P more and more, I've noticed how dense he truly is. Now, in RO, I went under the gender of female. So obviously he originally thought me to be a woman. (Even though I am, just not quite 100% there yet.)

One night I decided to tell him I was a guy. I thought he understood what I was saying to him, but the next day he continued to act as though I was still a woman. I merely shrugged it off because maybe, just maybe he was just being considerate of my mentality.

But anyway, my girlfriend is currently staying there at P's 'house'. Though, I should call it a pig sty. It needs major "Clean Sweep" action. You hear that, Clean Sweep people? Get on the case immediately if not sooner.

Apparently he sleeps on the floor. His brother Jam has more of a brain than he does. Or let me rephrase. Jam is a normal person. P is on a whole different world of his own.

Now. My girlfriend Alex is a very light sleeper. Thanks to P, her sleeping schedule is really messed up. At first when she arrived, she had fun playing video games a lot. Time passed, and now she's bored out of her skull. So she sleeps all day on purpose. Just to end the day quicker.

But anyway. Jam is nice enough, and smart enough to understand what she says when she says she is a light sleeper. So even playing all night with the TV on keeps her awake. Jam realizes this and doesn't play all night.

P is a whole other story. She'll tell P that she is a light sleeper, and turns the TV off while he is playing. He apologizes. She lays back down and tries to get some sleep. 15 minutes later, the tv is back on and he's playing again. Every time. P is so dense that if you kill him he won't even know he's dead.

She's told P this repeatedly, and still, every 15 minutes, he's back to playing all night. Ugh.

And that's just about P. Now there's J. P's older brother. He's the human equivalent of Snorlax minus sleeping. I kid you not. He eats more than his own bodyweight. He'll empty out anyone's fridge without hesitation. He's so damn lazy, they have a stray untrained dog named Patches that roams around the house, occasionally crapping everywhere. He'll crap in J's room and J couldn't care less. He leaves plates in his room. His room is right next to the damned kitchen. Talk about fracking lazy.

P could have a room of his own if they just cleaned up the basement. Yep, you betcha. Basement is full of dog crap and old crap that could probably be thrown out without second thought.

This particular dog has chewed up a lot of my girlfriend's new clothing she had purchased while there, and get this, it even knows how to bite on boobs. What the hell kind of dog does this? Not any normal dog I'll tell you that much.

I'm surprised these people aren't homeless. Well.. they would be if M wasn't around. M is the backbone in the whole place. At least P somehow "pays" rent. Yes. P makes money. By doing nothing. He lives off his social security even though he's younger than I am. 500$ a month. More than I make and I have a fracking job.

All P does is sleep and play video games. Sure, P has "anti-social" issues, but who doesn't? He can work as a receiver for most stores and work in the receiving room and just stock stuff. It's not that hard to find a job with a disorder like that. Plenty of businesses are looking for receivers.

It doesn't help that M is majorly stressed out and wants to leave. She will, eventually. What then, P and co.? What then?

Funerals

I don't care what anyone says. I don't like going to funerals where I'm not particularly close to the family/person that died. I'd be bored out of my skull.

I went to such funeral on Tuesday. Can you believe I fell asleep at the mass? And nobody noticed. Well, except my parents. Ah well. Not to mention it was 100+ degrees outside and I wore black pants. And I think I got sunburn on the back of my neck. Bleh.

The only nice thing in this entry is that I'm finally going to get more hours from my job. Yay.

Seriously though. In my funeral, it'd be casual wear, the music would be anime music or rock music. No church crap. Just cremation and putting the tin on a gravesite shrine. =D

I think I'm going to write a will with funeral instructions and demands. Yeah. I think that'll do.

I can't even nap in my room because it's so hot. I break out in a sweat just by laying there. And the fan is on, too!

But I digress. Right now my darling is visiting a "friend" of ours in PA. He was a friend when she first went there, but as the days went by, well. It has deteriorated. Not that there was any big loss or anything. Sometimes I wish I was there with her.

25 more days of her hellish "vacation" in PA till she goes back home. God speed to you, my love.

The "friend" will have a separate rant entry, by the way. Incase any of you readers are curious.

CRC - Notes

Well. This post will hold all of my notes I've written up to now.

Race Descriptions

Naikenlar
Main race of the story. Powerful demons that have intelligence rivaling that of the gods. Their appearance is Thranian, but their lifespan is equal to that of the ancient race of the Etanrya. At their birth they appear to be ordinary Thrania, but as they grow and learn, those who have chosen the path of darkness will taint their souls in the process. But those whose souls are pure, they will breed outwards and be known as the "Graifel."

Narytia
Their names were first known as Tyrants, but with the creation of a new thoroughbred, their name had been remade into a more refined and better sounding name. These lovely Thranian-like breeds are known for being possessed by greed, hatred, and rarely lust. Although they themselves are unware of this possession. It begins at their age of sixteen and goes on until they greet the reaper. However, one particular person had been aware and began to ward off the evil from their mind. The only special trait Narytia have that separates them from Thrania is that they have a larger about of a particular type of hormone which causes heterosexual women/men to instantly become sexually aroused.

Etanrya
Your basic Elven race that live on for billions of years and have very keen sight and hearing. They usually excel in Shamanistic magic and/or archery. The only difference between the Etanrya and the Elves are the fact that they have chosen the path of modern technology.

Relepti
Vile, eye-shattering reptilian species that have scales tougher than steel. Their saliva is made of pure acidic venom that easily penetrates and dissolves nearly every type of material.

Thrania
The mortal race of beings that were born on the young planet known as Earth. These beings are the wisest and have the ability to learn from mistakes. Although there are the few whose souls become tainted and therefore beocme evil throughout and torture the innocent, kind types who are so caught up in their lives that they hardly know what is becoming of their planet.


Universe Descriptions

Milky Way - Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto. In between the course of Earth and Mars, a portal was discovered. The portal's destination was unknown until a group of adventurers had went through it and came out the other side. Before they knew it, they had started an adventure that would change their very lives.

Larneqka - The ancient galaxy that has not been forgotten but merely lost its contact with the other galaxies. Until recently when a group of adventurers had discovered the gateway to its atmosphere and ancient knowledge. This is the home galaxy to the main character. The planets that circle around its axis are each unique in their own rights. The most resourceful planet filled with advanced technology is also the home planet of the main character: Kosenagi, Okura, Xion, Gamnus, and two other undiscovered planets that are rumorted to be so vile that anyone who tried and made contact with them had never returned, nor have ever been heard from.

Well that about does it for that list. I have a fourth and a fifth, but they are not yet complete. The next entry will have my notes and outlines for the first book.

According to the Daily Bulletin

That's the title of the newspaper for the Inland Empire. They had an article on "Slackers". Apparently my mother things I am one such slacker. I may have some symptoms, but if it's the amount of symptoms, then my mother is more of a slacker than I am.

Not only did the 20 year old they interview say "some of the best games are the violent ones," (Gee, thank you for including yourself in the stereotype.) but apparently he wakes up around Noon or 1pm.

And he apparently is thinking about his future in the sense of thinking about joining the military or becoming a security guard. Yet when asked why he hasn't done so yet, he has no answer.

But me? I have my whole freaking life planned out. Regardless if it's difficult.

1. Publish my writing.
2. Complete manga script and transfer to a web manga.
3. Publish my manga.
4. Transfer my manga to anime someday.
5. Continue step 1.

And on an unrelated note that I still wish to do: Update my website, www.animewish.net My anime review/wallpaper/screenshot website.

I currently have a Bachelor's Degree in Web Design, but the school I've received it from isn't very credible. I lack skills required in most Web Design jobs out there. So I have to resort to teaching myself. I lack Javascript, PHP & SQL, XML, HTML, CSS, etc. They only taught the design aspect. I guess they figured there would be separate coders to do all the coding. -_-; Wrong.

Either way. Being called a slacker because I'm assumed to "not doing anything" should be enough motivation to get me writing. Yet I still can't for some reason. I'm stuck somewhere.

Though luckily I've been directed to a literary agent's blog by the name of Miss Snark. Very helpful information with a lot of humor. Her blog makes me want to write even more just so I can get rejected and see if I have any writing issues.

Current WiPs:
Crimson Renegade Chronicles
Journey of Ren
Divine Assassin
Victoria's Erotic Adventures (Yes, I write erotica. Though it could fall under Fantasy Erotica. Victoria's a succubus.)
Eternal Pathway - The manga I spoke of. If it were an anime, the first "season" would be named Shino's Awakening.
