Journal Journal: Blockbuster sucks. 1

I went to Blockbuster to rent some porn^H^H^H^HMonster's Inc, and some store in a different city I rented Star Wars from this summer slammed a bar on me and made the cashier call them. They slapped a 25$ late fee on movies which I could not have possibly been late for (I was in the city for a week).

I of course didn't have enough cash on me, and it led to an embarrasing situation, and now I'm pissed off. Even if I had such a fee, I want it to be brought out to the table ASAP--going past a reasonable customer's memory is a Bad Thing (TM), since it leads to mindlessly paying the bill to avoid trouble.

I wasn't late dammit. I've been renting on this card for months here. I'm gonna call them tomorrow but for now I'll just have to vent on my journal.

Journal Journal: My College Experience thus far.... 3

I'm sick of people on campus that get microphones and blast their annoying political diatribes all over the place. I hate how they feel like they're at a higher plane of intelligence than the rest of us. I hate how they engage in debates with lame ass looks on their faces, trying to conceal their frustration, because they are 100 percent right, and other people just don't "get it." I also hate how they want my money.

Well, I'm done venting now, so I think I'll hit the sack. Anyways, I like most everything else about college (to stay on topic with my title), except I'd much prefer to learn raw technical skills than all the "well-rounded, mind-expanding" fluff it takes to get a degree. Here I go ranting again--really I'm not a negative person, just sorta in a bad mood, and my journal seems like a good place to vent.

Journal Journal: Karma Whoring 4

Karma Whoring is not a Bad Thing (TM). It is sort of like those high-school summer jobs or an apprenticeship--doing the hard annoying crap work before you get to the "next level." The only stipulation should be "no lame karma whoring."

I have seen Karma Whores simply provide 3 google links and get away with it, simply by admitting that they were KW'ing. Don't be lame, people. Try and cut and paste a decent amount of information and post it--not too short, and not so long that you're clearly not intending anyone to read it. If you're mirroring an article, great! Just don't do it off of your home cable modem, since it will soon get /.ed as well.

If you admit that KW'ing is not a bad thing, and you strive to do the grunt work and lay out useful information to the community, you deserve to get rewarded. After all, somebody's got to do it. The end result? A better, more well-informed discussion.
