Gross Jelly Beans

Well, sorry it has taken a long time to make a new rant, its seems that i now have a social life outside of my room, and so, less time for ranting... Anywho, this topic has come to my attention last night while watching the best movie ever created; The Evil Dead.

So i am eatin these here GOURMET jelly beans, because i like to show off that i have money... it was a big bag from wal-mart for $3. Anywho, i am eating them, one at a time, so i can taste each one, and WHAM! i am rushed with a flavor of grossness.... i finish it cuz i paid a lot of cents for them... 300ish to be exact. So i look at the back of the bag to read what flavors are in the bag... almost all the back of the bag is the assorted flavors and a picture of each one... No wonder they last so long, it takes longer to find what kind you are eating then it does to eat it. Mind you there are a lot of good jelly beans, but i am never sure if i will like it or not untill its in my mouth, cuz i can't tell if the jelly bean is brown, or brown with lighter brown spots... HOW COME THEY DON'T JUST USE DIFFERENT COLORS FOR THE SPOTS!!!

so i stare down my bag of gourmet jelly beans and try to decide if i want to take the risk of having some horrible tasting piece of artifical stuff in my mouth or be relaxed by a good tasting one. They aren't jelly bellys... i am not that rich, they are a no-name brand of gourmet jelly beans... a hypocritical statement in itself. Oh well, since i started the bag, i have pondered many times on weather or not i should have purchaced regular jelly beans to quench my thirst for sugar, or to further indulge myself in the grand variety of the gourmet bag.

I didn't exspect such a variety, because gettin the candy was an impulse buy... the word GOURMET just caught my eye... and the price below of $2.97 made my mouth drop that something with the title "GOURMET" would be at such a low price. I was truely amazed that quality can be so cheap. Wal-Mart is my hero for haggling down the price of quality food such as no-name gourmet jelly beans down to something a commoner would be able to purchase.

Well, my fellow blog readers, please leave comments on this topic if you have ever experienced the wide choice in gourmet jelly beans, and to provide any suggestions as to what i should do with the rest of the beans. Thank you for being patient, and I will try to get some more rants in.

Unwanted Noise

Ok, sorry for taking so long to make a rant, but i promise you, that you would have read it once your done seeing what I have on my mind. Enjoying/agreeing on what i have to say... thats another story.


Anywho, what I have to rant about is people who do their own sound effects when doing anything. Weather it is ironing their pants, or jumping on owls like they do in super mario brothers, people who make sound effects with everything they do, is just annoying.

Here are some ways to flip the situation around to make it less annoying;

There are only a few choices you can pick from if you want to deal with people who believe their lives are dubbed 1970's japanese films, and every sound has to be magnified or altered in a certain way. One of which is just walking away from the dude/dude-ette who happens to be doing this, but thats too simple and there is no fun in leaving what could have been one of the greatest times of your life... spending quality time with someone who does their own sound effects...

One good way to deal with people who do their own sound effects is to grab a lawn chair, some pop-corn, and sit down and enjoy this free entertainment... they are the freaks, and this is their show... why pay $9 to watch a movie with over-emphazied noises when you can enjoy, first hand, amature noises. Unlike the movies, where they have fast paced, short views of something awsome happening, you can watch your buddy from whatever view you want, unless its in an earthquake, then yeah, it gonna be a lil shakey... hope you have a neck brace, cuz if something lands on your head in an earthquake, the neck brace will cussion the blow of your chin hitting your chest... and thats whats important. Back to noisy people!

Another fun way to deal with these loonies is to join in the fun of sound effects.... You can laugh your head off, if you are quick to think of some weird sound to produce out of your mouth... otherwise you will just have to realize that this nutcase you are with happens to have more brainpower then you when it comes to making sounds... then maybe you will take into idea my first option and enjoy it all the more. If you do try to keep up with the sound effects made by your friend/peer that you barely tollerate, and are lucky enough... you may have an noise duel-off... OOOOOO!!!! these are exciting... when two people try to out-effect each other in a general situation where nothing of any importance is happening (why else would you be around one of these guys?), and its a battle of witts to see who can out chirp who, where the best squeeker prevails over all others, and where a once and mighty (sane perhaps) individual may realize that it takes a great deal of skill to produce sound effects for hours on end. This indeed is a sight to see...

Just when I get you all pumped up to see a noise duel-off, I will raise the bar even higher... try to make your own theme song as you go throughout the day... you could be intensely tieing your shoe, or hitting the climax of biting into the whole of your baggel, whatever your fancy, personal theme songs are great... people who make sound effects.. they are the crazy ones. Mind you, boredom plays a key roll in this topic, its greatly encouraged to not keep your tune in your head, because you can alter it without anyone knowing.... if you sing it outloud, you can tell where you make mistakes and improve on them for later.

To sum up this topic, if you ever catch someone doing sound effects, no matter how ocward the situation, or how weird you think the person is, make the most of it by watching them, or join in the fun. To those who concider Krunk off the Emperors New Groove a role model, in way that he actually mastered his own theme song, i give you the most amount of encouragement as possible. But yeah, people who do their own sound effects... I will make my own theme song as I sneek up behind you and pounce like a kitten... then spin a bunch, and run away and hide under a couch and think I am the slickest cat in the world.


Reguards,
