Once again I have let far too much time pass between posts and have missed you all terribly in my absence. 
Working on our short film Will has taken up a gargantuan amount of time. However despite the taxing schedule of writing, shooting and editing a film, I still find time to bitch. As my friends know, there is no end to it. It’s my nature. Frankly, I sometimes don’t know how people put up with me. So, as an exercise that will hopefully have a cathartic effect, I’ve decided to note down some of those things and expose my inner B for all to see. Some of them are painfully trivial and quite silly, and others I expect you will clearly identify with. I would like to call this new section, the “Daily Bitch”, but since my parents actually visit this site, I will instead give it a G-Rated name.. The Daily Rant. I cannot promise that I will update it daily, as I am often to busy bitching about the world around me to post anything, but I encourage feedback and your own rants to fill in the gaps. Let’s blow off some steam together.
So today I will start out with the list below. This is by no means a complete list, and nor is it any particular order. And believe me, nothing is to too Politically Incorrect to post. And it is only the beginning.
- People who practically have to scale their grossly over-sized vehicles like it was their personal Mount Everest are obviously compensating for some inadequacy they hope is comfortably hidden, but in reality is painfully transparent to us all.
- Packs of motorcycles that swarm through traffic prentending our ride home is their Motorcross.
- The server at Chilis who insists on on replenishing my tea every time she wanders near, forcing me to dump yet another package of Splenda into my glass.
- On hold listening to a message in a foriegn language waiting an eternity to hear: “Press 2 for English”. Last time I checked, English was the primary language in this country and deserves to be “Press 1 for English”.
- People who think “Everybody Love’s Raymond” is actually funny.
That is all for now… Post away!

A terrific list with which I agree completely. I am looking forward to more of these, as there are just so many annoying things in this world. I would add the following:
1. Westerners who act as if they know more about Asian culture than Asians do.
2. Soccer Moms who are always in a hurry to seemingly go nowhere.
3. Anti-fur advocates who wear leather shoes, have a leather wallet, or carry a leather purse.
4. Anyone who subscribes to the philosophy “Anybody but ___” (this is typically prevalent in this year’s election).
5. People with more than one bumper sticker on their car.
6. People who do not understand the concept that the lines of a parking space are meant to assist them in centering their car so I can actulally get in and out of mine when they park next to me.
And so begins my list…
