Excuse Me?

July 25, 2009 - 22 Comments - Posted in: Rants, Ugh

You know what’s really annoying? Well most of you will already think it’s annoying but people who constantly tell you what to do. Now this applies to both my offline and online lives. But in each there lies a line that shouldn’t be crossed. And I don’t understand how people don’t see the difference between helpful and just plain rude! I’m not gonna say my offline story because someone I know may read it but the online story I can do.

Now I’ve been receiving a butt load of emails from a certain visitor asking me to do certain things. I’m not gonna name them but you can read an email they sent me.
*Please note that I fixed the grammar because it was atrocious*

“You really should add a lot more shit to your site because there’s nothing compared to other sites. Like it really fucking sucks. You need a shit load more of textures, brushes, tutorials especially on Gimp and Photoshop well basically everything. And your layout is complete shit. You should take a design class or something!”

And another email from the same person,

Umm, you didn’t reply to my email! What bullshit! Did you not listen to my freaking advice? Because it would really help your sorry ass!  Like you need a lot of help! No pressure but you should really fix that!

There were 3 more emails from this person but it would take up the whole page if you wanted to read them curse at me for not listening to them. But first off, WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? You don’t own my site so I’ll do with it as I please! If you’re not happy that I didn’t add something, go to another site! I don’t have to do anything for anyone! What I provide on my site is a privilege not a right and if you don’t respect that then go somewhere else!

And secondly, if you’re not happy with my site you’re free to leave! And I don’t have to take your advice! I wasn’t asking for it so why are you bitching?? If you need something and I’m not providing it for you in the way you want, make it yourself!

Okay, I’m done with this. People suck. And liars, you know who you are. End of Story.

Couldn’t Help Myself

July 18, 2009 - 18 Comments - Posted in: New Layout!

So I made a new theme, and this time with my old coding. I didn’t wanna bother recoding the last one so I just made a new one. Like it says in the title, I couldn’t help myself from making a new layout. lol Hopefully everything is alright again. If there’s any problems please tell me! I think this layout is so much better than the last! It’s a bit similar to my Rock Out layout, the layout before the last one. The CSS is the same but I changed some things a bit. Not really though. This layout, I think took one hour? The coding, three?

But I love this layout so much more than the last one because I used Photoshop again! YAY FOR PHOTOSHOP! You are by far superior than Paint Shop Pro! Haha. Well I don’t know really but I just haven’t used PSP for layouts for such a long time I guess that’s why I didn’t like the last layout so much. I guess I feel better because when I use Photoshop I feel the layout is better. IDK I’m just weird haha.

New Layout!

July 12, 2009 - 17 Comments - Posted in: New Layout!, Website

I made a new layout! Finally! Please tell me what you think, I feel like a failure because this is not my best work. Ugh, next time I’m using Photoshop for my layouts instead of Paint Shop Pro. It literally took 5 hours to make the header! Not including coding! The coding took 4 hours today. Ughh, omg I’m so tired of staring at the computer screen for so long. It took 2 hours just to look for these damn pictures. This coding sucks doesn’t it? I’ll change it later when I’m not depressed over my suckiness. I might change the theme back to my last layout which is like amazing. haha. I’ll go return comments now. :sad:

Also, I wanted to add contests and articles and things like that for you guys for more visitor interaction so tell me what you think of that idea and if you have any suggestions for me!

[EDIT] Yes I know the coding is messed up. The fucking thing changes by itself because it looked fine when I was coding it and then got fucked up a few days later while I was away. I’ll fix it sooner or later so don’t worry, I’m working on it. Thanks guys for telling me though. I’m gonna go back to my normal way of coding so this doesn’t happen again.

It’s Getting Old

July 11, 2009 - 5 Comments - Posted in: Answer Me This, Famous People, Rants

Anyone notice the latest trend in news stories lately? No? Well if you haven’t and you’re not crazy like to me to notice this little insignificant thing about the media and their news stories, you’re probably quite normal. Sadly for me, there is no hope. But the trend is, get stick to one story for as long as they can because nothing juicy is happening so they drain the living hell out of whatever is going on at the moment and then move onto the next story.

Not getting my point? Recall the Octomom scandal a few months ago? Or Chris Brown and Rihanna? Remember how they were all over the papers, TV, magazines, internet, basically everywhere? Nothing? How about something more recent, like Jon & Kate Gosselin? Or all the buzz that’s been going on about Michael Jackson’s death? See what I mean?

These paparazzi just suck whatever they can out of these stories and take a million pictures to see if they can squeeze a story out of it! Like I saw and article about Kristin Stewert pregnant because her jeans weren’t button and there was a little flab. Like since when was it a crime to have a little fat? It doesn’t mean she’s pregnant!

Though, the whole media industry does account for countless jobs like for the paparazzi, writers, publishers, vendors, and everyone involved with all that. But it’s so annoying because they feel the need like the last episode or issue of that show or magazine didn’t have enough information or that people wanna know more so they use the same story and change it up a bit and use it again and again! Like this whole Michael Jackson thing, it’s sad I know but it’s getting old and quite annoying.

Pretty stupid that I’m complaining about this but I’m so sick of there being one focus going one in the world for however long it is yet there are so many problems going on at the same time, yet they’re more interested in what celebrities eat!

What are your feelings on this topic? Does it annoy you?

I was really annoyed with life so I decided to extend my most annoying things ever list. Enjoy.

By the way, the new All Time Low album, Nothing Personal, was leaked on MTV and it’s amazing! Break Your Little Heart and Sick Little Games are the best! It has a different feel than the last album and their sound is so grown up haha. The last album was more a more fun pop dance to the beat kinda feel. This record is more about the music and love.
