So I was checking my yahoo email (yeah yeah, I know, but I have others, I swear) and I noticed a news story at the bottom called "How MSNBC is surviving after Olbermann", so I decided to check it out cuz I like both of those things. Been a fan of Keiths for a while. I'm also a big fan of Rachel Maddow and Chris Matthews, so I'm a fan of the station as well.
After reading through it, I thought "Well that was interesting" and was scrolling down through and noticed one of the comments:

Msnbc.. Most Stupid No Brain Commentators.
I was a little annoyed. I hate it when people go out of their way and SEEK OUT stuff to hate. Then there was another one:

Wow, MSNBC & CNN combined are still way under FOX!!! I wonder why you don't hear conservatives crying like babies about MSBNBC being lefyist like the way the libs cry about FOX? Oh wait, I know!
...and another and a nother...

What's MSNBC and where is it? Oh, you mean the crybaby goofus network that nobody watches!

I am impressed that MSNBC has any viewers at all. I had no idea that there are that many mentally challenged people in the US!
This isn't just trolling. This is active hate spewing and its sickening. Now, I'm not stupid, I know that if I were to go to a right-winged web page (although I had no idea yahoo was so right-friendly) and read the comments, there would probably be tons of lefties talking trash. It would be the same thing as this but from the other direction (its 'reverse-hatred', herp-a-derp), and ya know, THAT upsets me too.
I don't understand the NEED that most internet trolls feel to go HUNTING for something to spew garbage all over? Like the inevitable "fake" comment on ANY picture on the internet, this kind of negativity is just ridiculous and it's making the internet a much less fun place to be. Its hard to enjoy a video on YouTube of someone who actually is talented when all the comments all scream negative things. It's all the same really. There is always the "I can do better" comment followed by the "where is the video of YOU doing this". It's all the same. Every website, every piece of content, every time.
My girlfriend doesn't even pay attention to the comments online because she's sick of it too and expects nothing less but ignorance, and she's right, as usual.
But this is less about trolls and more about politics.

MSNBC is strictly anti-American.
Really? We're still doing this? Right wingers are still claiming anything leftist to be Un-American? REALLY!? When "Dubya" was in office, many many people said many many things about him: stupid, ignorant, racist, war-monger, embarassing, dim witted, redneck, bible thumper: and yes, these things are true, but one thing he was NEVER called was "Un-American". I voted for Bush... twice (don't hate me) Yet, every time Obama says or does anything, he's a SOCIALIST. He's UN-AMERICAN. He's trying to DESTROY AMERICA. He's the BLACK HITLER. He's.... ah.... there's the problem: he's black. I'm not the first to say this. This has been said over and over and over again, but ya know, SOMETIMES when everyone says something, SOMETIMES its true, unlike that whole Jesus/god thing, but thats another topic for another day.
My point being: Fuck you Republicans. Fuck you in your stupid, irrational, hate-filled, ignorant, childish, self-centered, irresponsible asses. Your supposed to be the party of do-ers and thinkers, not the part of people who plug their ears saying lalalalalalala whenever someone other than you has something to say. Get your shit together, you're not helping anyone, especially yourselves.

Why I Don't Sleep
So, i've been extremely tired as of late, and its all because i don't sleep. At least not nearly as much as i should.
my typical day starts about 11:15am and used to go til about 4am but lately its been 5 or 6.
heres my typical night:
9pm : get off work. hmm, i need cigarettes and something to drink, time to stop at rutters.
10pm: ahh, its good to be home, i wonder if there's anything new on tv tonight
11pm: heh, well, that was a good episode of (fill in the blank), wonder what else is on
12am: (browsing torrents) ugh, theres nothing new that i'm interested in. hmm... lemme check this out (goes to ign.com, amazon.com, ebay, gamestop, rolling stone). ooh, i wanna see if i can find this
1am: ah, that was yummy. oh yeah! i got new music to put on my ipod! (hook up the ipod) ah, there we go. hmm, i should see if i can get a level or 2 in in (insert game here)
2am: god damnit, all these facebook posts are crap. doesn't anyone have anything interesting to say anymore? wow, these video cards are amazing but fuck they're expensive. i wonder if theres any cheap apartments available in mechanicsburg?
3am: should probably think about going to bed soon... hmm... i need a shower... naw, it can wait. oh theres a new podcast! i wonder if this site has any replicas of this sword i'm looking for, i miss my sword collection. ugh, i need to do dishes... eh, they can wait too.
4am: yeah, should definitely be going to bed now... ah fuck, i REALLY need to do the dishes, ah, it shouldn't take long (does dishes). ok i'm gonna smoke one more cigarette and get to bed.
5am: wow, that game was great, i'm glad i use stumbleupon otherwise i may have never have found that... damn, its late, i should go to bed.... well, lemme watch some porn and i'll be off to bed
6am: i wonder if michelle would like any of these? ugh, its been almost a year and a half and i still don't even know what she likes, i'm such a shitty boyfriend... oh, i should check my bank statement... yeah thats what i thought. hmm, should add up all my bills... yeah, that math sucks. jesus its late, why am i still up? one more cigarette and its bed time.
7am: well, i have one cigarette left and the suns coming up... do i smoke this now and wait til i'm on my way to work to buy more or just go to bed and smoke it in the morning... ugh, damn i need a drink... i'm hungry but i should probably wait.... ooh, lemme check to see if theres any new you tube posts.... fuck i NEED to go to bed... UGH, fine i'll go to bed....
and thats my EVERY night. obviously not EVERY night, it changes daily, but its all the same random assortment of things that my mind floats to. its like i have no focus at all and my mind wanders, all the while, regardless of HOW tired i was during the day, i have no signs of fatigue at all at night. i'm just.... up. sometimes i get sleepy during the night, and i go to lay down, and its almost like as soon as i get horizontal, i wake right back up.
i try to fight it, i try to change it, but... that usually ends up with me lying in bed for 2 hours trying to sleep and getting more and more aggravated.
and here we go again... time right now is 5:03am, i need to be at work by 12:30, not the slightest bit tired, need to take out the trash, but... here i sit. will probably do the trash and watch some more porn and smoke "one last" cigarette before bed which will turn into 4-5 while watching old AVGN videos on youtube.....
