Tyler Grinds His Gears

Ya know what really grinds my gears? Valentine’s Day. The commercialization especially. Its like the candy and greeting card companies are trying to make people in relationships attempt to have an über romantic day/night and make those not in relationships wish they were in relationships.

What doesn’t grind my gears:
Pitchers and catchers reporting to camp today.

That’s all for today folks.

Ya wanna know what grinds my gears? People that misspell words, I mean, it’s 2011, everything has spell check. There is no excuse for misspelling anything anymore. It’s not like we’re all hand writing letters and using typewriters anymore. Another thing that grinds my gears is when people incorrectly use homophones (i.e. of coarse instead of of course). When people do that it just makes them seem stupid to me, and I always want to call them out on it but I don’t want to be an asshole.

Another thing that really grinds my gears is Justin Bieber. Especially because he won AMA Artist of the Year. He’s not an artist. He is a prepubescent Canadian boy (or girl, you decide). His songs have no substance to them whatsoever, its not art, it is air pollution and when I hear his music I feel like my ears are being raped.

Good day.

You know what really grinds my gears? The fact that national sports media outlets think that its some great tragedy that the Dallas Cowboys have a losing record.  The thing about this that grinds my gears the most is that the Titans’ defense forced three turnovers against the Cowboys last Sunday and on SportsCenter Monday morning the only Titans’ highlight that they showed was Chris Johnson, who by the way is on pace to rush for 2,000 yards again, diving over the top for a one yard touchdown, yet they showed two Cowboys touchdowns and an excessive celebration penalty that Dallas incurred.  Another thing about the Cowboys that grinds my gears is Tony Romo.  This guy is undoubtedly one of the luckiest guys in the world.  Even Dallas owner Jerry Jones acknowledges that they got lucky with Romo, but when you talk to Cowboys fans, they think that Romo is God’s gift to Football.  While we’re talking about lucky Quarterbacks, lets talk about Tom Brady and Matt Cassel.  Matt Cassel is by far more lucky than Tom Brady is to be a starting quarterback in the NFL, but lets be honest with ourselves for a minute people, they are both very lucky to be playing today.  If it weren’t for Drew Bledsoe getting injured in 2001, Brady would have never gotten onto the field, and Bledsoe would have finished his career in Foxborough and the Patriots would have undoubtedly drafted a new franchise Quarterback forcing Brady to stay on the bench.  Anybody know another NFL quarterback that got onto the field because of a Drew Bledsoe injury? That’s right, Tony Romo.  Matt Cassel is luckier than Brady and almost as lucky as Romo because if Brady hadn’t torn his anterior cruciate ligament in the first game of the 2008 season he would have never seen the field.  Let’s not forget that Matt Cassel hadn’t started an organized football game since his senior season in high school before week two in 2008.

Things that don’t grind my gears:

1. Sam Adams Light
2. My HTC Droid Incredible
3. Having a steady income, finally
4. The Texas Rangers beating the Yankees today

Back to the grinding; another thing that grinds my gears is the amount of time it took me to find an “adult job” after graduating college.  This really made me mad because it just didn’t seem like I was ever going to be gainfully employed, and I also took a hiatus from this blog during my search just in case potential employers did some googling and found it and did not like it.

So its been a long three years, but I’m back baby.  Hope you all enjoyed this.

That is all.

So, I’m starting my new job tomorrow and I’m just a bit nervous about it.

Just checking to see how the WordPress for Android app works

Ya wanna know what really grinds my gears? The amount of time that we had to wait in line at Nashville Shores to get on the beach. It was ridiculous, and don’t even get me started on the fact that they made us wear life jackets even though we are all able to swim, and Andy and I are both Eagle Scouts. That was probably what ground my gears the most about the whole ordeal.

Another thing that really grinds my gears is my roommate Matt Heuer. He acts like a complete dumbass when he is drunk. As a matter of fact, he was drunk at one o clock this afternoon. Then, while we were watching the women’s college world series, he gets out his queer ass Scottish flute.  I mean, seriously, who plays a Scottish flute? That’s right, assholes. On second thought, it was pretty funny, and he was trying to write a song… drunk, ’nuff said. I’m not entirely sure what the purpose of writing a song on a Scottish flute is, because I’m pretty sure that there isn’t a very large market for Scottish flute music, but nonetheless, he was exercising his creativity.

Another thing that really grinds my gears is annoying little kids that try to push you off of the trampoline that is in the lake. It was just completely unnecessary that these small children were trying to push me off of it, but they were trying to anyway.

Things that don’t grind my gears:
1. The big yellow slide at Nashville Shores
2. Baseball
3. Mike Lowell plowing over not one, but two Yankee infielders
4. Destroying things
5. Arizona softball players

Another thing that really grinds my gears is ESPN not having enough close ups of the Arizona softball players during their coverage of the Women’s College World Series.

The last thing that has been grinding my gears is how some of these softball players get a running start before they swing at the pitch. This really just doesn’t make any sense to me, because it just adds more difficulty to something that is already difficult.

Need I say more?

Ya wanna know what really grinds my gears? Being a college graduate for over six months and still not having an “adult” job. It’s not like I haven’t been trying to find a job, its just that I can never get a second interview with any of the companies that I interview with.

Another thing that really grinds my gears is the New York Yankees. They have always been something that grinds my gears, but I finally chose to let it be known to the public. More specifically, I do not like George Steinbrenner. The man ruined baseball. I don’t care how many world series’ the Yankees have won since he has owned the team, he didn’t do it the way that you are supposed to which is to draft and raise up your own star players instead of just buying the best players that are available. I’m not completely against paying the price for talent, but there is a line which Steinbrenner has crossed.

Things that don’t grind my gears:
1. The new Transformers movie coming out
2. Futurama
3. Being a college graduate

The final thing that has been grinding my gears is…well, that’s actually it for now.

Ya know what really grinds my gears? We’ll actually nothing right now, so here’s some things that don’t grind my gears.

1. Baseball Season starting on Sunday
2. Not having to work at LensCrafters anymore
3. Entourage Season 3 coming out on DVD on Tuesday
4. The Pool at Andy’s apartment
5. Summer time
6. The smell of fresh baked bread
7. Watching the sun set

Ya wanna know what really grinds my gears? The LSAT really grinds my gears. The reason that the LSAT grinds my gears is because studying for it ruined two and a half weeks of my life.  Another thing about the LSAT that really grinds my gears is that the people that were working there did not really seem to know what they were doing, and it took like five fucking hours to take the damn test.

Another thing that really grinds my gears is being sick. This has been particularly grinding my gears because I was sick while I was trying to study for the LSAT, which really just made things difficult.

Things that don’t grind my gears:
1. Daisuke Matsuzaka (New Red Sox pitcher from Japan)
2. Baseball spring training starting
3. Tennessee beating Kentucky in basketball to remain undefeated at home this season
4. The Nashville Predators

Another thing that has been grinding my gears is Valentine’s Day. The reason that Valentine’s Day is grinding my gears is because I think that it is one of the most useless holidays in existence. It was created by Hallmark just so they can make a buck.

The final thing that grinds my gears is people that are fake. This is probably one of the most annoying things that a person can do. I hate it when people act one way to your face, but when you’re not around they talk all kinds of shit about you. I mean, if you don’t like someone, just fucking act like it and don’t act like you’re their friend when they are around, and then talk all kinds of shit when they’re not. It’s that easy.
