Most of the time, they are echoing the treatment they received in the past from their mentors, customers, and negative published reviews. what is disheartening is that they are perpetuating the abuse and general assholery instead of trying to employ constructive criticism Even worse is the fact that such constructive advice rarely slakes the bloodlust of the average television viewer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7056397560050092509.post-858752225367271682014-10-06T23:51:01.566-04:002014-10-06T23:51:01.566-04:00Calling Scott Conant a douche nozzle is an insult ...Calling Scott Conant a douche nozzle is an insult to douche nozzles.

I was super into crafts as a teen. Amy, why not come over and start up the whole crafts phenom in Barcelona??? Wait, there are already toilet-roll smokers selling friendship bracelets and braiding the leftovers into their mullet dreads, so maybe they actually have heard of it but it's called something else. Like "activitas per a la gent gran" or something.

Sure, you've always had drinking wine as your one constant hobby, but this one is a little more..constructive? (See what I did there? That was a pun since when you craft, you construct things, as well as this being constructive in that it might get you out of that deep dark hole your alcoholism has put you in.)<br /><br />The great thing about crafts is that it really makes you look at life through a different lens. Specifically it makes you wonder "would that look good with googly eyes on it?" And the answer is always YES. And I defy any reader of this blog to name one thing that does not benefit from a fun pair of googly eyes. Take a piece of poop. Now, I know what you're thinking. "Ewww thats sooo gross...POOP!?! Are you out of your mind, ecol?!" Haha, no, no, of course not! But think about it. You put two googly eyes on a piece of poop and suddenly you have Mr. Hanky, the beloved character from South Park. See what I mean? As a fun exercise you should all think of some unexpected things to put googly eyes on. <br /><br />Amy, don't worry about the naysayers or the "haters." Look at Martha Stewart. She built an entire empire off of making household crafts. I mean, yes, it also led her to prison, but hey...orange is the new black, ammirite?

Bon any, AmyMC!
Yes, ther...Sheeeee's baaaack! Bon any, AmyMC!<br /><br />Yes, there are annoyers everywhere. I know because they annoy me too, and as people like you and I are so parfait, it's easier for us to spot them. Plus, you are on a commuter train to/from NYC, so you're bound to get some crazies. <br /><br />I don't know WHAT is going on recently with these noisy cell phone buttons. Dear cell phone makers, There is no reason in this day and age for cell phone buttons to make a noise, so please just refrain from even offering that as an option. Mmkay? Thanks. Sincerely, AmyMC and Jana Lia. <br /><br />I mean, really, unless you're hard of seeing or under three years old, your cell phone button noises should be OFF! How many times have I tsked and rolled my eyes and sighed loudly, only to be ignored by these offenders.<br /><br />And what is happening with all the male commuters on the Barcelona metro that their breath smells like feet on a summer's day after sightseeing for 12 hours wearing leather sandals? And why are they all mouth breathers? Is it medicine for colds? Is it wrong to offer an Altoid or Halls Mentho-lyptus? Is it too obvious when I look, my eyes pop out and start watering and I breathe into my perfumed scarf? <br /><br />And yesterday a woman was cell-phone-pacing -- on the moving metro! I glared at her, willing her to get jostled hard to the ground, but she had some sort of Jedi or Karate Kid other-worldly balance thing going on and she managed to just walk up and down annoying everyone. Or just me. Which was the main thing.<br /><br />This is all not to mention the daily accordion players, sunflower-seed spitters, people who never let you off before they get on, and -- if I may extend the commute to the escalator leading out from the underground area -- those who just stand at the top wondering what to do next, not realizing it's going to be "get hit from behind because the escalator doesn't stop just because you do".<br /><br />I swear, next time a woman plops down next to me and her handbag thumps down on my leg, or a man plops down next to me and relaxes his elbows and spread-eagle knees into my space, I'm going to do something drastic. Like text you about it and use angry emoticons.Jana Lianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7056397560050092509.post-24257642073067734782013-11-15T15:41:03.379-05:002013-11-15T15:41:03.379-05:00I was actually scolded once for putting my feet up...I was actually scolded once for putting my feet up whilst riding the Metro North. And it's a moment that I'll never forget. It was during my first semester at University and I was returning back to the city after Thanksgiving break. It must of been an off hour because the train was eerily empty. I sat in a four seater (you'll have to excuse that grave error as I was a neophyte commuter back than) and began to read a book. I believe it was "The Letters of Vincent Van Gogh." At some point an elderly gentleman sat in the four seater with me. And again, the train was still empty so I found this to be a bit curious. But like, whatever dude, I am enjoying my book and the quiet ride to the city. So much so that I eventually put my feet up on the seat across from me. My companion, who had kept to himself this whole while, quickly turns to me and says "WOULD YOU DO THAT IF IT WAS YOUR MOTHERS COUCH!?" Now, I must admit that I was quite taken aback by this. A thought like that had never even crossed my mind. Probably because my mothers couch is not made out of dirty ripped vinyl (these were the old trains). In any event this really upset me. That he would have the audacity to say such a thing. To judge my actions. My character. I slowly lowered my book and in them most polite way possible I said "Well of course I would not do this if it was my Mothers couch. No no my good fellow, if this was my Mothers couch I would do this..." at which point I stood up, pulled down my pants, and defecated on the seat beside him. Then I beat the ever living life out of him. Literally. He died. I laugh about it now because if he just sat there and minded his own business, he would still be alive today. Well, maybe not, he was old and this was like 20 yrs ago.

Not everyone can be as perfect as AmyMC and her many bffs, as has been proven time and time again, by space-invading, feet dangling, phone-beeping commuters, office whistlers and food crunchers, sick people who go to work, grammar eschewers, and people in our way on the street, just in general. Keep fighting the good fight, Amy. We may not win, but at least we'll live our lives in frustration and feelings of superiority.

Just the other day I posted a status on Facebook saying I felt like John Candy in rookie of the year, he's the overly excited announcer and has a great quote about the cubs extending their winning streak to 2 games, the longest of the season. Well a friend of of mine decided to chime in and post "John Candy isn't in rookie of the year" which makes me look bad to those who don't know the truth... Helloooooo, have you seen the movie?
