Ranting.

So I had a talk with Bekka, yesterday. About Phoenix being on Twitter and all.
Seriously, the man is a jerk. He's just plain rude and obnoxious and he actually pisses me off.
I get that he's sarcastic a lot and normally I love sarcasm and use it a lot, myself, but there's a difference between making a sarcastic joke and just being sarcastic, because you can.
I cannot remember I've seen Dave tweet one single positive thing. Every single time, he's either bitching about Kanye West (okay, I haven't seen the VMAs, so I don't know what Kanye did) or he's making sarcastic comments to fans who ask him questions or comment on his tweets and it's pissing me off.
I'm not saying he should have his tongue up our asses and I know that some fans are just downright fucking annoying, but come on. We -are-, after all, the people who buy your damn records, which means we're basically paying for your house, car and whatnot, so the least you could do was have just a tiny bit of respect and at least be nice to people.
I'm surprised, actually. I always figured that Joe was the asshole of the band, but it turns out that Phoenix is right up there with him.
And now for Chester. Seriously, that man never seizes to make me drop my jaw.
Talinda posted a picture of him getting yet another tattoo and stated that the next one will be a portrait of her.
I mean....seriously?!
Let me start by saying that I love Chester. I love his talent for music, I love his voice and I love his looks, but goddamn, he's a fucking moron and completely naive, man.
I seriously wanna slap him over the head. I don't care that he's been married to Talinda for 4 years now. You -do not- get portraits tattooed on your body. Okay, I could go with it, if he said that he was getting his kids done or something, but his wife? Please.
I mean, he doesn't exactly have a good track-record when it comes to women, does he? Sam has clearly stated that he cheated on her, back in the day and he married Talinda like the day after his divorce from Sam was over (exaggeration clarifies things, right?).
In my opinion, he clearly cheated on Sam with Talinda and I'm sorry...but even though I love him, I'm convinced that he won't stay married to Talinda. I predict that within 10 years, they'll be divorced.
Not because I want bad things for Chester, because I'd be happy if he proved me wrong. I just think that he's so easily bored that he'll eventually (if he isn't already) cheat on Talinda and I also want to vomit with all their showing-the-world-how-very-much-in-love-we-are. I'm just saying that if they were completely secure in their relationship, they wouldn't have the need to show the world, like they do.
Look at Mike and Anna. Much more mature and calm and they don't have the need to be on Twitter, displaying their relationship.
Anyway, it just feels fake to me and I can't even believe that Talinda agreed to let him have a portrait of her, permanently inked on his body.
I would never allow something like that, because no one can predict the future and it's just moronic and very naive.
I swear, he acts like a fucking 15 year old with a damn crush, man.
Not to mention my own selfish reason, which is that I won't enjoy him shirtless, if I have to look at Talinda's face, every time he takes his shirt off.
And no, let me clarify, it has nothing to do with jealousy because even if I find him hot, I wouldn't want anything to do with him. Chances are that I'd want to knock his lights out within the first hour of talking to him.
But yeah: getting your wife's face inked on your body, is just moronic, Chester. Sorry, but it is.

And that concludes my ranting for today.

....what does that have to do with muffins?

So.. starting off with what every Linkin Park fan has been spazzing about the last 24 hours: the first pictures of Mike Shinoda's kid was finally published.
I'm so happy for Mike and Anna and I salute them for keeping it a secret that Anna was pregnant and gave birth, because even if rumors have been up around the internet, nothing has been for sure, until the pictures from Glorious Excess (Dies) was published and the kid doesn't exactly look like a new-born.
The only thing bothering me (even if it's absolutely none of my business, whatsoever), is the name. Seriously, Mike? Otis Shinoda?
I'm so hoping that there's a deeper meaning behind that name, because honestly? It's a dog's name, not to mention it reminds me of that fat dude, working for Lex Luthor in the original Superman movies.
It's just another addition to the long list of celebrities naming their kids something horrible, even if it's not as bad as Apple or Moses or whatever. It's just a bad name, man. Not to mention that when you pronounce it, it sounds like Otishinoda, unless you actually pause between the first and the last name.
Don't get me wrong; the kid is cute and all (big, though, huh?)and I couldn't be happier that Mr. Shinoda is finally a daddy and not just 'uncle Mike', but the name is just bad, man.

Other than that, we've had the sewer guys out today and thankfully, the damage wasn't -as- bad as we all initially thought, though it was bad enough.
Now, we're awaiting the 'judgment' from the insurance, to hear how much of it, they'll pay for.
Of course, we'd like for them to cover it all, but sadly, there's this 30 year rule that prevents them from doing that.
So for now, because of this uncertainty about the money issue, my trip to the states have been put on hold, for the time being, simply because I might have to use some of the money, I saved up to help pay for this crap.
This makes me incredibly sad, because I was really looking forward to that trip. But, I have to keep Nat's words in mind that 'just because we have to postpone it, doesn't mean it won't happen, at all', because that is true; I -am- going to the states at some point, but it might not happen in May, next year.
Of course, I'm already stressing out and overthinking everything; that maybe I'll just go two weeks later in the year, so there'll be a week in Memphis and maybe a week in Tempe.
But I don't know what will happen yet, so I have to remain calm and just accept that it's on hold for now.

Next week, we're starting the 'experiment' of us getting to work at 2pm, every now and then and frankly, I can't wait to see how that goes.
It means that I'll take the bus at 12.30pm, but that I'll leave work at 10pm and be home by the time, I normally get out, so I'm sure, I'll be excited about that.
I'll have to get to work at 2, every thursday and every other weekend that I'm working.

So my life... is pretty weird right now, or so it seems to me, anyway and the fact that I can't really turn off my brain, except when asleep, is driving me a little nuts, but thankfully I can just turn on my computer and I start focusing on other things, for a little while, at least.
