Well, I've had it. I finally decided I needed an outlet for my pent up frustrations, so hopefully you'll enjoy some of my opinions. Any mention of any specific people, places, or items is strictly coincidental, and there is relatively zero factual data supporting any of these opinions.

What's the deal with my fucking internet?
So, I suppose "Congratulations" are in order for Comcast as an ISP, since they have earned their place as the first official post of the Grimace. Let me start off by saying, uh... what the fuck?! When I was younger, living in Florida, I never had any problems with Roadrunner, which was Time Warner and is now Bright House, I guess. Shit, before that, I was using dial-up from AOL, and that dinosaur was a little slow, but it almost always worked. I guess I do have to mention that the sound of R2D2 getting fisted by C3PO everytime you signed on to AOL did make it difficult to banish some babies to the sock, especially since the computer was in their bedroom. But I digress... I actually started using Comcast when I was still living in FLA, and what a bag of marmot shit it was from the get-go. I swear it seems that they actually turn my internet off during business hours in some sort of retarded cost-saving initiative. I say this since when I try to connect to the internet in the middle of the day, it barely ever works. Then, when I call to find out what the fucking problem is, as soon as I enter my phone number so that John in India has it if/when they do answer my call, before I even get off of hold my service is miraculously working again. It just makes me wonder, do they do this to all their customers? Am I just one of the few that calls during the day, since I'm an unemployed loser, and the millions of customers that are at work during these times are just saving Comcast money somehow? Like I always say, this is just my opinion, but how can I ignore it since it seems to happen like every day? One of the last times I called, the agent even said they could tell that my internet hadn't been working for days (I was out of town). I don't really believe that Comcast is the only guilty party, but that's the one I am still enslaved by, since there's no competition for them in my particular area. How is that not some kind of anti-trust/monopoly thing?! It's just one of those weird societal things if you ask me. Sometimes I feel that we as a society just lay back and accept things like shitty internet service. Just say things like, "that's the way it is," or,"sometimes the internet just isn't working." Bullshit!! Sometimes the internet is just down?! Well, sometimes, I just don't pay... Oh, you wouldn't like that, would you? I'll bet if there was some sort of counter on my modem or PC that could say how many hours a month I was "connected" to the internet, and I paid my bill based on that amount, I'd have perfect service 24-7. Anyway, I'm starting to feel better and I'm starting to ramble, so I guess that means I'm done. In closing, I guess perhaps I should applaud Comcast for creating that "real life" feel in my internet experience, since similar to trolling for skanks at the local watering-hole, now not even cranking one out with my internet-porn is a "sure thing".
