Golden BS

I've made a recent discovery that has me rather disturbed. I was excited to purchase a box of Froot Loops on sale a few weeks ago. I'm generally not a huge fan of the cereal, but once in a blue moon the craving for a a fruit-flavored circle of grains and sugars arises within me, so I made the purchase.

I didn't look too closely at the box when I bought it, but once I went to pour some cereal the next morning I noticed an unpleasant new cereal piece in my box: Golden Bars. WTF!!!

Last I checked, I had purchased a box of Froot LOOPS!! I didn't sign on for golden bars!! Those aren't even circular in the least. I can understand throwing in another flavor of loops, as Kellogg's has a tendency to change up their cereals on a semi-regular basis. They added new marshmallow shapes to Lucky Charms, made Vanilla/Chocolate Cocoa Puffs (kind of an abomonation in itself)...but now this shit. I don't want bars in my Froot Loops...I want LOOPS in my Froot Loops!! Why not start throwing "Z's" in my CheeriO's, or put dried apricots in my Raisin Bran!!!

This is just another idiotic way for a corporation to grab kids' attention and try to get them to nag the shit out of their parents to try the new form of Froot Loops. Golden Bars!! Why not make them golden LOOPS, geniuses?? Kellogg's, you can kiss my ass!!!

Why is it that....(Part 2)

Why is it that when you are going to have to take a hit when shopping, it's going to be a big hit? Here's what I mean. I am able to get off pretty cheaply shopping because I buy a lot of cheap, crappy food. I'm fine with that, it's how I get by right now with a limited budget. But it seems that all of the major grocery purchases I ever have to make come up all at once. My more expensive purchases are laundry detergent, dog food, contact solution, and toilet paper. Each of these can run in excess of $10, which isn't much but when you are budgeting for a lot less each week, it's rough. The next time I shop, I will have to buy all of the above. So laundry detergent ($12), contact solution (I exaggerated, it's like $6), dog food ($30) and toilet paper ($10...buy this shit in bulk). There's almost $60 already, and I need each of these things. That doesn't even include food. Looks like I don't eat this week.

Why is it that people complain about the weather regardless of the season. It's been in the mid 80's here in Louisville, and I believe a bit warmer in St. Louis, for the last few days. That's perfection for me. But other people are constantly complaining that it's too hot. Well, wait until late June, and then we'll give you hot, assholes. These are the same people who were complaining when it was below 20 degrees in January. Here's my take, pick a season and enjoy it. I love the heat...blistering, sweltering heat. If it's 95 degrees and humid, you'll find me out running, choosing courses that take me by public sprinklers, fountains, and sometimes even pools. I can't get enough of summer. So when winter comes, I bitch and complain. And I believe that's my right. I make fun of people complaining about the summer heat and tell them to get a damn tissue and cry about it. If you're going to complain about the weather all year round, find a place where the seasons don't change. Then you'll be like me and will only be complaining about one weather pattern...and can't we all use more people in the world like me?

Why is it that I can't post regularly on this damn blog anymore. I'm going to make these posts a regular part of the site, and I will stop numbering them after this one. Keep reading and I'll do my best to keep writing...mydik.
