People piss me off

You know what? I hate people, but not all people. I just hate stupid people. I just hate how they are so stupid. At work, for example, we have signs hanging everywhere saying the prices of the games, what the rules are, and the way the prizes break down, but every day, at the very least 100 times a day, I am asked if the games are free, or if the person can have a free prize. They think they're being so original and funny, it pisses me off. Are you fuckin' kidding me? Of course the games aren't free! Nothing in life is free! We're a business, and without us, you wouldn't have an amusement park to go to in the first place! In case any of the 5 people who read this are interested, I'm a supervisor at the theme park in Denver in the games department.

Mostly the ones who piss me off are the little wanna-be gang-banger 14-17 year olds. They think they're hot shit because they have a girl on their arm who won't be there in two weeks (and that's being generous). Well, newsflash for you fuckers, you're not any better than anyone else who has a flaky bitch on their arm. You know what? It's not just the people who go to the park for fun who piss me off either though. It's also the people who work for me. 

"It's hot, can you get me some water?" "I don't feel like doing anything, it's too hot outside." "They don't want to play the game, if they did they would come up to the counter." "Don't put me in that game, I won't try if you put me in that game."

All of those are legitimate quotes that I hear on a daily basis. First, let me address the heat problem. YOU FUCKIN' CHOSE TO WORK AT AN AMUSEMENT PARK IN THE SUMMER!!!! They knew it was it going to be hot, right? Or are they just that fuckin' stupid? I know it's hot! But, you know what? Get the fuck over it! You applied there, you got hired there, if you don't like it, leave and don't come back! Also, it's your job to get guests over to the counter and try to persuade them to play the game. It's not hard. All you have to do is stand and talk to people all day. That's it. That's what you're paid to do! If they paid on commission, I bet you anything everyone would try a lot harder! There isn't any incentive to work hard because everyone is paid hourly (and above minimum wage)! Everyone just needs to get their shit together and quit being a bunch of whiny bitches! If the park would just give me the power to send them home and fire them, then we would all be happier. I'd probably be happier because I wouldn't have a staff, but if I could hire the people that are going to be working for me I feel like I would do a much better job! Lastly, if I put you in a game, fuckin' work it! Do your best to keep business steady all day and two things will happen. First, I won't be pissed off at you without the ability to do anything because I have to ask permission from my boss to do anything, and secondly, the day will go by a lot quicker because you'll stay busy. 

Basically, you know what your job entails, so quit bitching about it. If you don't like it, quit. I promise, you won't hurt my feelings. You know, I would have fired about 85 percent of my staff already if I had the opportunity/power to do so. So, consider yourselves lucky. 

Sorry about the rant, but people just piss me off.

Mayhem Festival 2012

Well, this is my first ever blog, so I am really excited to get started on this. I went to Mayhem Festival, one of the best annual tours that I've ever been to. It has featured such bands such as Slipknot, Disturbed, Marilyn Manson, Lamb of God, Five Finger Death Punch, Rob Zombie, Korn, Slayer, Motorhead (which is one of the main reasons I started this blog), and a whole ton more.

As soon as Motorhead began to play I was excited to hear them. Their most popular hit "Ace of Spades" was on my list of songs I wanted to see live. As soon as the lead singer began to sing though, I was disappointed.  It was the beginning of the tour, but his voice sounded like it was gone. Needless to say, years and years of cigarettes and other drugs will do that to someone.  The rest of the band sounded phenomenal, but unfortunately, Ian "Lemmy" Kilmister just wasn't up to snuff with the rest of the band.

On the other hand, the two bands who performed after Motorhead, Slayer and Slipknot, both gave fantastic performances, and saved the show.  The crowd was energetic, singing along with every song, and there were mosh-pits a-plenty. Slayer, who is basically the definition of "thrash metal" gave a great show.  Everyone was energized. The band sounded great, and the sound carried throughout the whole amphitheater.  Slipknot stole the show in my opinion though.  They did a tribute to Paul Grey, their bassist who passed away in 2009.  This was their first tour since his passing, and they did a phenomenal job of showing that they missed him. Their guitarist Jim Root missed the show because of a ruptured appendix as well. With only 7 of their 9 members they still put on a great show. During their tribute to Grey it began to rain, and that energized the crowd even more. The singer couldn't even be heard above the singing of the crowd during the tribute because of the passion the fans have for Slipknot's music and the love they have for the band. It was a moving concert, and it was touching that 3 years after his passing Grey is still in the minds/hearts/souls of every one of the maggots.

The show was a definite success, and there were only two negative points in the whole show. I spent entirely too much money, and Lemmy's voice. It sounded like cigarettes were having sex in his throat the whole time he was singing.

That's about all I got for tonight, thanks for reading, y'all!
