Grrrrr

Crede for Cain would be a big enough joke.  Crede for Cain AND Sanchez?  Jeez Louise...

It's a video, and Tom Cruise is crazy.

Damn Candy-Corn.

I hate that the US Office 1) wasn't as good this year and 2) is no longer on TV to distract me from my crappy, at-will job

I hate Brian Sabean.  Honestly.  If it weren't for some DC witch-hunt inspiring sympathy, I'd have dreams where his ugly mug is centered inside a Firestone and I'm wearing steel-toed boots.

I hate any non-Giants fan who covets Matt Cain.  For that matter, I hate any regular Giants fan who covets Matt Cain.  His greatness is for me, and me alone.

More than anything, however, I HATE the fact that every night there is basketball on ESPN HD.  No offense to basketball fans, none at all.  But me, personally, I hate that crap.

But I love me some baseball.  And I want some.  Now.

Subject 2  You know, it's really hard to become a teacher.  You essentially spend six months as an unpaid intern, while paying tuition and books and living expenses and such.  This is after six months of classes (the classes don't stop during the actual student teaching but there are less of them) and observations that are, of course, unpaid.  To get a credential one must teach two classes (two different classes) for six months while being evaluated by no less than three different people in thirteen different categories.  These categories are rated by a numberical system from 1-4 with four being the best.  To get a credential you can not have less than a 3 in each and every category.  Also, you must not get less than a B in any of the eight classes you take.  Also, you must put together an online portfolio detailing your growth in each of the thirteen categories of your evaluation.  You must provide two separate "artifacts" for each category and explain how you grew in that category over the program.  After getting a credential you must continue to go to school if you want to make more money (and you do).  And, of course, the job itself can be one of the highest stress jobs in the country.

All of this for a starting salary of around 40k a year (In California. It's less elsewhere).  

Subject 3  So I get financial aid checks every six months or so that are more than 5,000 dollars.  Right before I get this check, our bank account is usually in the negative.  Because the check is more than 5,000 dollars, I always have to wait more than a week before the bank will release that money.  This is terrible on a number of levels.  The worst, however, is that we get charged by the bank for being in the negative.  I have told them that we wouldn't be int he negative if we were allowed to, you know, actually get the money that we have deposited.  Today, the teller actually told me that it was for our own good because if the check ends up going back for some reason we would have to pay the money back.  I offered to do just that if such a case arose.  But, I guess I don't get to decide important things as what to do with my money...

We are going to suck.  For a while.  The only hope, really, is to wait for our minor league talent to make it to the majors.  During this time, Lincecum and Cain will be running out their cheap years.  

Now, I know that watching them pitch is the only redeeming thing about this Giants team.  But we don't have to trade them right away.  But I'm of the mind that we might as well just get as much talent with MLB debut days between 2-4 years from now.  This way, we might suck really badly for a 2-4 years, but we will be really good after that period is over.

I don't know, maybe it's just the bitterness of this off-season talking, but that's where I'm at right now.  

Of course, when I say trade them away, I mean for alot more than Joe Crede or Alex Rios.

In other news, why are other sports fans and the majority of people in sports media so retarded? Sabean makes some dumbass trades yes, and we just weathered those awful Lincecum trade rumors, but come on. I really wonder sometimes about these fans asking such idiotic questions, and the writers who go along with it. Do they really think they are plausible scenarios? Are the writers just humoring the peons? It boggles the mind.

As long as we're ranting about stuff, I hate banks and not having any money, I hate my math class because it's math and math is the bane of my existence, and I really hate being so sick I can get out of bed for about an hour before I feel so exhausted I can barely crawl back into bed.

I hate that it's taking so long to level up my stupid Lotad in Pokemon Pearl. I've been training that thing forever and the levels just go by so slowly. Stupid thing. Video games aren't supposed to make me angry.

He may actually make San Diegans miss Terrmel "Benitez-killer" Sledge.

This is what I hate.  That, and Giants pitchers throwing him sliders.

I hate scholarship packets that silently judge you for having a sub 3.5 GPA.

I hate that my English teacher has to fall asleep during class because he is too exhausted from filling out buckets of asinine paperwork because he is a new teacher.

I am pissed off that there is no baseball to watch.  Damnit, I hate football and baseball and soccer and all the other silly sports.

I hate that the Giants didn't re-sign Will Clark.

I hate the Lakers.

I fucking hate the Dodgers.(1)

(1)first ever addendum: I LOVE Ned Colletti!

vulgarity was needed.

I hate people who need a new paragraph for one sentence.

I hate Rich Aurilia's 4.5 million dollar salary.  I loathe Ray Durham's 7.5.  I hate centerfielders, not all, just our surplus of eight.  I hate that even spring won't make me delusional enough to think the Giants have a shot at contending this year for the first time in over a decade.  I hate that we'll more than likely not have one player in the opening day lineup under the age of 30 in what is supposed to be a rebuilding year.

I hate everybody driving in a 30 mile radius of me.  It's like they picked the same 50 numbnuts to surround me on the road throughout my life until they cause my early death.

(Maybe because it's not , Vic?)

I hate when I answer myself. Just another of those indicators , dontchaknow.

I just got the 3 Red Rings of Death on my xBox 360.

I hate this.

Also one that would hit the stupid beat writers for the white sox and tigers
