You Little Thieves - 3/4/03
Let's do a little math here. In February 2003, my website got about 24,000 hits. Now, I make money off of the popups that are on the lyrics section of my site...which accounts for probably 22,000-23,000 of my hits. You know how many of those people actually saw my popups? 7,000. That means that 70% of my visitors are using software that blocks ads. What a bunch of fucking thieves. I put alot of time and effort into this site, and by choosing to use ad-blocking software, you are helping to kill websites all over the internet. The least you can do for the free information you're getting is view an advertisement that takes less than a second to close. If it weren't for ads, then there wouldn't BE any free websites. Everything would either shut down or go to pay only. It's like radio and tv. They both rely on ads to stay afloat. What do you think would happen to tv if 70% of all viewers had a TIVO that let you skip commercials? There wouldn't BE anymore tv, you thieving jackasses. And yes, I keep using the word 'thieves' for a reason. Browsing the internet with ad-blocking software is stealing. How would you like it if 70% of your paycheck was taken away? Well, that's what you're doing to me. Granted, the money I make is just a little on the side, but that's insignificant -- I'm still being robbed of funds that are due to me. And because of this, to fight back, I'm considering implementing an anti-ad-blocker. That means, if you browse to my site with an ad-blocker running, you will be denied access until you turn it off. If you choose to block ads while surfing, then I reserve the right to deny access to my content.
My Stance on Religion - 5/10/02
Keep in mind here that I'm not expressing my beliefs here to try to change anyone. I'm simply telling you how I feel about the subject. I've been told I should have some sort of disclaimer, such as "I respect your beliefs, so you should respect mine" so that I don't get alot of people attacking and challenging my beliefs. Well, fuck that, because unless you've made an educated decision about your religion, I don't respect your beliefs, because you're a closed-minded, ignorant sheep. Bitch at me all you want, if you can't come up with a logical reason as to why you follow the religion you do, you're ignorant and a moron. Now I've got nothing against following a religion. If you've actually educated yourself on religion and have made a decision as a result of that education, then good for you. You have my respect. Hell, even I have a religion. I take parts from various religions like Christianity, Satanism, Buddhism, and so on...and I call it Mikeism. Why the need to follow a set of rules that someone else (no, they aren't god's rules...they were thought up by man) made up thousands of years ago? Follow your own damn rules...do what makes you happy as long as it's not detrimental to others. And why the need to try to spread your religion? I'll tell you why: you're not 100% sure of yourself, and there's comfort in numbers. The more people you have following your same beliefs, the more comfortable you'll feel that you're making the right decision. I've said it before and I'll say it again; organized religion serves no other purpose than to scare people and make money.
Control Your Fuckin' Kids - 5/10/02
Ok, I work in a retail store, so I experience alot of stupidity. One of the things that really pisses me off is parents that are either too lazy or just don't care that their kids are fucking unruly little shits. You have no idea how many times some dumb fuck comes in with their 4 year old, and while the dumb fuck browses around the store (as slowly as possible mind you), their troglodyte of a child is pushing themselves all over the store in the office chairs or running behind the counter that says "Employees only behind counter" and fucking with shit. And then if the dumb fuck even notices their kid is being a little shit, it's "Stop that, [insert little shit's name here]". And the little shit acts like they didn't hear it, and the dumb fuck acts like the little shit stopped doing it, cause they don't say another word about it. *Smack* Every time we see something like this, I give one of my coworkers the international backhand motion. And I'm not talking about the little shit either, they don't know any better. It's the dumb fuck that doesn't discipline their little shit that needs smacked aside the head. As you can see, bad parenting really pisses me off. It's along the same lines as when a child does something horribly wrong like kill someone or kill themselves or get hurt imitating something they saw on TV...and then the parents go and try to blame TV or music or movies. Fuck that, it's a combination of the kid being a complete moron and the parent being a horrible parent. Granted, they may get an idea from popular media, but christ, teach your kids the difference between fiction and reality. Damn I'm glad I'm never gonna have kids.

Please. I beg of you. Do not e-mail me or IM me unless you have something intelligent and worthwhile to say. I'm fucking afraid to sign onto ICQ or AIM anymore. As soon as I get on, I get about a dozen messages in the first minute, then another 3 or 4 every 5 minutes for the entire time I'm on. Let me show you examples of the two messages I receive the most. These are real conversations mind you. First, the typical "I like your page" message.
XXXX: hey whats up
RevMaynrd2: not much
XXXX: i like your site
RevMaynrd2: thanks
XXXX: you like slipknot right
RevMaynrd2: yeah
XXXX: cool
XXXX: same here
....Ok? And that was the end of the conversation. Now not that I'm ungrateful, but come on, I've already had hundreds of people say the same thing....tell me something worthwhile...tell me why you like it....try to spark up some decent conversation...don't just say you like my site or that my site rocks.
Next you have the complete idiot that doesn't know who I am even though they personally added me to their list.

*Smack* Took you long enough, genius. I usually get 4 or 5 of those every time I sign on. Now don't get me wrong, I do get a few intelligent people, and I am grateful for that, but there's usually only maybe 1 every time I'm on.
All I'm saying is if you have something intelligent or worthwhile to say, please message me....otherwise, don't just message me to tell me you like my site, because it's been done before....many many times before.
