Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

Syfy has been showing horror movies all month. Granted they are censored and at least half of them are awful movies, but I've found some to DVR that are good. Also AMC, ABC Family has lighter ones, Sundance every once in awhile, IFC every once in awhile, and TCM.

Yea I know AMC and Syfy has them. I looked for the next 4 days or so and Syfy had nothing worth watching. I saw that AMC had Child's Play on Wednesday and a Nightmare on Elm Street marathon on Thursday. And I can't want to fill my DVR with movies because I watch so many different shows that I usually tape so I can fast forward through commercials.

Also I am looking for more of the classic and all time great franchises like Nightmare on Elm Street, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Halloween, Friday the 13th.

Syfy played the original Texas chainsaw movie yesterday and the newish one. Origin or whatever it's called.

Logo I think it's called played silence of the lambs yesterday as well.

And it's kind of hard to know what your looking for when you throw the Scream movies in there as a classic horror movie series.

Scream is considered one of the great slasher franchises out there. I just googled great slasher franchises and the top results were Halloween, Nightmare on Elm Street and Scream in that order.

I wasn't going by any list just the part at the top before all the links. And I agree that WhatCulture is clickbait. And Final Destination isn't a top 10 slasher movie. I wouldn't even consider a slasher actually.

Hardwired smoke detectors..

They already have a damn battery inside. I was cooking, and all the sudden my smoke detectors went off. That piercing noise made me want to punch something.

I tried to reset it, but it continually beeped every 15 seconds. Eventually, I just said **** it, and pulled the power cord out.

Wired smoke detectors, stupidest thing ever. God forbid I cooked a hamburger, and it got a bit smoky in the house.

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

I would consider the Scream series to be one of the better slasher series'.

Not on the level of the Nightmare, Friday, or Halloween series though. Those are classics.

And as far as what culture, I enjoy their wrestling channel.

I think, overall, Scream can make a case for itself simply because those other 3 have some truly terrible movies in their series.

Yea I never meant on that level. I would say somewhere in the bottom half of the top 10. And I do like parts of What Culture's wrestling channel. And kinda wanna see what their promotion is like.

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

It really does suck when a doorbell hits on the TV and the dogs wake out of a slumber and start going nuts.

Dogs are awesome until they start acting like dogs.

The doorbell in my alarm sets off a horrible chain of events in my house.

Doorbell rings
Dog goes crazy running towards the door
2yr old follows suit
I start yelling at the dog
Newborn wakes up
I give some teenager knocking door to door a mean look

rinse-repeat

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

When people say things they don't mean.

I'm a very "literal" person. I take things very literally and personally. Don't tell someone you care about them if you don't care about them. I say things if I mean them, and don't say anything if I don't mean it. What I don't say has gotten me in trouble in the past (like not making small talk with co-workers because I view it as a waste of time. Why ask me how my weekend was if you are gonna forget in 2 minutes and really don't care?).

Things can get weird for people like me because I believe what people say, just like I hope they believe what I say. Like when I left my last coaching job my AD told me "I will be happy to help you find a spot somewhere else" and it turned out that wasn't true. I guess that is just something everyone says in that situation, but why say it if it isn't true?

Don't call someone your friend if they aren't your friend. If you don't want to invite someone to hang out with you, that's cool, but don't call them your friend. That's kind of hurtful. I expect average acquaintance to have more important people to spend time with than me, but don't call me your friend if I am just a dude who comes around sometimes.

Growing up I had a group of friends where we would walk in to eachothers houses without needing to knock. I guess I was lucky in that regard. It was like something I would see on a Nickelodeon show back in the day. I miss those guys a lot. It was one of those setups where you never had to ask, you were always welcome. It was rough going from that, for basically my whole life, to Colorado where I knew nobody other than family.

This might not have made sense at all, I dunno. Sorry for rambling.

I understand where you are coming from and I feel the same way in certain respects, I try really hard not to say things I don't mean. I don't like hurting people with my words. Or to be hurt with words.

But as far as things like people asking you how your weekend was, that's just social convention. You shouldn't let that bother you. Sure, they may not really care, but its just being polite. You should actually take it as a sign that that person likes you. If they didn't they wouldn't give you the time of day. I'd try to work on that aspect and I think you would feel better about yourself if you have those little pleasantry conversations.

And not all friends have to be the type that you hang out with all the time or even every once in a while. You could have work friends that's just a work thing. I have friends that I don't hang out with and to me they are still friends. To be honest, I only really have one friend that I actually hang out with.

I know its hard. It sounds like you have some social anxiety. I do too. But I'm working on it. And it when you can kinda own it and realize no one is really gossiping about you behind your back it makes things easier. I know you don't like small talk, but its a good thing. They may not care about you in any sort of meaningful way, but in reality how many people do we have in our lives that really do. I have my immediate family and like one or two friends that I truly care about, but lots of other people I can have a conversation with and just move on. Nothing wrong with that.

I hope you don't take this post the wrong way. I'm just offering my incite based on experience.

I agree with some of what you're saying especially the small talk, but you're never going to be able to change how everyone else acts, only how you react to it. If someone asks you how your weekend was and you don't think they care, just tell them fine and keep it moving. No reason to stress stuff like this.

And there's no reason to take things personally, you just gotta remember people are doing stuff for themselves and not to you. For better or worse, these people aren't thinking about you when they say/do things, you shouldn't be thinking about them either. Just charge it to the game.

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

Sounds like Jare is just a sensitive guy. Seems like he puts a lot of himself in to things. Unfortunately, that's probably not the norm. It's hard to accept and maybe accepting it isn't even what you want to do. Just one of those struggles.

Sometimes you've got to know that you're not normal. That how you go about things isn't how you think/how everyone else does. I think the moment you come to terms with that realization, you can be at peace with it. Maybe it's an everyday thing, as in you KNOW how people act but it still hurts or boggles your mind. You can't explain it and if you're a logical person, it's hard or impossible to try to rationalize something that is irrational.

Just keep putting your best foot forward. Know that there is negativity around you because to ignore it is denial, but only you can really control your outlook. Others can affect it, but only you can control it. The power of being positive is incredible.

I'm trying to stick to what I'm saying here as I go through a rough time myself, and it's freakin' hard. Some days are easier then others, that's for sure. Just keeping my eyes on the prize, trusting in myself and knowing that all things pass and better things are on the horizon even if you can't see them now.
