I wasn't planning on writing a post today, but I guess I might as well. It is something to do. I went to fish lake this weekend with my friends Jason and Nick and their family. It was pretty fun aside from the fact that everyone got to shower and use the bathroom in the trailer except for me. The problem with being a big guy is that things aren't exactly made for people of my stature. I think people that mass produce things don't give that enough thought. Seriously, like 3 feet more in a RV bathroom or 2 more inches of space on a roller coaster ride. Is that too much to ask? I don't know how many times I have gone to a theme park and not been able to ride a ride because it was an inch or less too small for me to fit into. Is it really that difficult for designers to make things a little bigger? I mean come on, people in America are the fattest people in the world, specifically in Texas I have heard, and they are still making rides for people that are 6 feet tall and 200 lbs. What is the deal with that? It is like they are torturing the larger people. Which makes no sense since there is so much terrible food in theme parks. Not terrible in taste, but in quality. This is only one example of things I have to deal with as a 6'3" larger than average male. I don't even consider myself obese, I mean yeah I am fat, but some people are faaaat. What do they do if I am having this much trouble? Probably sit at home and eat twinkies is my guess. That is what I would do if I were any fatter. I am not gonna lie, I have reservations about sitting on some chairs. The structural integrity is about as good as a piece of plywood on top of 4 toothpicks. My point is that we live in a country that is turning into the future that Wall-E predicted, and the people mass producing most things obviously don't care that they are making things unusable for a large percentage of the American populous.
So anyway, I went to fish lake and I realized that I am an idiot. Who is white and lays out in a boat on the lake for 4 hours with out any sun protection? I do, Jason even put some on, but apparently I lack the intelligence to think ahead. Now here I am 3 days later with a face peeling so bad that I can't even go out in public without feeling extremely self conscious. This isn't the first time something like this has happened either. It is the worst though, so maybe this time I will actually learn to put on sun screen when I am in the sun. Some times I wonder how I have survived 23 years, if I am that dumb. I can only imagine that in the zombie apocalypse someone will come up with a zombie repellant and I will most likely say "nah, I don't need that. I will be fine." Speaking of zombie apocalypses I had a dream the other night about canaries. Just kidding, I had a dream about zombies, and my friends all had super abilities and all I had was a shot gun. It was really weird. I am not the kind of person that analyzes dreams, but if I were, based on this dream, I would think that either I think that my friends are better than me, or that my mind thinks I would be better protected by a shot gun than supernatural abilities. I personally like to think that dreams like that don't have meaning, and they are just way cool. I had a dream once where I was being chased by vampires, and it must have been right after I watched Ace Ventura When Nature Calls, because all of the sudden there is this huge monster truck parked on the side of the road with the keys in it. And of course I climbed in and started running all of the vampires over. Fortunately for me, the vampires in this dream didn't have the ability to turn into bats or anything. I am actually not sure completely that they were even vampires, except for the fact that my dream specified that vampires were chasing me. I don't think that through the course of my dream I ever saw fangs, or blood, or anything like that. For all I know I left my wallet in the grocery store and these people were chasing me to give it back. Either way, they were crushed by a very conveniently placed monster truck. I have some very strange dreams, like I dreamt once that my mom had to get all of her limbs cut off for some reason. Like to support our family or something. Ironically in order for her to support the family she couldn't support herself (laugh here). I once watched a documentary about dreams on Netflix. It said that the reason we have nightmares is to prepare our nervous system for different scenarios allowing us to actually mentally experience something without having to physically experience it. I thought that was pretty cool.
Speaking of Netflix, wanna know how awesome my life is right now? I literally spent the entire day watching a show on Netflix called Top Shot. 10 episodes at 43 minutes a piece. I will do the math for you right now so that the people with poor math skills don't hurt themselves trying to figure out how many hours I wasted today. It is a little over 7 hours. It was a fairly entertaining show though. The only problem I had with it is that it was an elimination based reality show. It started with 2 teams that compete head to head, and if a team loses they have to go to an elimination round and vote off one of their own team members. And I swear on my life, every reality show like this has the same host. Besides that, does anyone besides me feel like they should vary shows like this? It is like they have a reality show template, and all they do is throw the name of the show in it and change nothing else. This template was original 10 years ago when survivor was first aired, but it has grown old and I wish that they would vary it. Even if it is just a little bit. Maybe they aren't allowed to change it. Like there was a meeting 12 years ago between the makers of the first reality game show, and they wrote something along the lines of what was written at the end of the book of revelations. For I testify unto every man that writeth a reality show, If any director shall add unto these things, Richard Hatch shall add unto him the plagues of obesity, severe tooth decay, and cataracts. A lot of people think that this was written about all reality shows, but we know chronologically that not all reality shows had been written by that time, and that they were specifically talking about reality game shows. I have gotten off subject, the point is that I think they should have a little variety in these types of shows. Anyway, I am gonna lotion/aloe vera up my sunburned face and arms.

This is important, PLEASE READ!
I have a lot on my mind right now. I had a weird and somewhat disappointing weekend, and things just keep getting lamer and lamer. I am not really gonna go into detail, but I will just say that it is really annoying how inconsistent people are. They say for certain that they are going to hang out with you, and you are pretty much banking on the fact that they do. Then they never get back to you, and you are left sitting at your house watching some lame movie on FX or USA or whatever other channels have lame movies...which is most of them. Speaking of lame movies, don't you hate it when you are at a friends house and they are watching a really dumb movie that they really enjoy and you are just sitting there like "really? you are making me suffer through this? you are a douche." This happened to me today, and it happened to be some lame western cowboy movie with Val Kilmer and the guy from Twister. My iPod is only so entertaining, after about 10 minutes I am bored of it. I try to chat with people on facebook, but no one ever talks back, so that is pointless. While I am on that subject, I am really sick of people not messaging me back when I try and chat with them. I can understand like 1 or 2 times, but I have tried to chat with some people like 15 times and they never reply back. Finally I get sick of it and confront them about it, and they give me some lame excuse and tell me they are sorry. So, like an idiot, I believe them. I try to talk to them a couple of days later and guess who doesn't message me back? This isn't a rare occurrence. There are a bunch of people that do that to me. It is really starting to bother me, and make me wonder why people don't want to talk to me. The answer is yes, I am trying to talk to girls in this situation. Girls that are obviously out of my league. But just because I am trying to talk to you doesn't mean I want to marry you. At least message me back, is that very hard? Even if you are blunt with me and say "Jake, I really don't want to talk to you." At least I will know that, and I can stop annoying you. Because trust me, I am starting to annoy myself. It is when they reassure me that they aren't ignoring me that angers me, because obviously they are. That is the problem with society, no one has the balls to tell the truth to people for fear they are gonna hurt someones feelings, or something like that. I have no room to say anything, I do the same thing. But, it is still true. Ok...I think I am done venting about this.
I saw The Green Lantern over the weekend...this was something that wasn't disappointing that happened. I was actually surprised that it was pretty good. I read a review online the day I went to see it, and the review was bad. It said that the movie was not very good at all, that it fell short of the previous superhero movies for this summer so far. My opinion differs from this. Maybe it is because I went to the movie with really low expectations, which by the way is good to do with every movie, but I liked it better than X-MEN First Class...I don't think anything can really compete with Thor. The biggest problem I had with this movie is that I had to see it in 3D, which actually wasn't bad, but honestly I don't think that it is right to charge $2 more dollars for it. Seriously, I have seen like 10 3D movies, and I keep the glasses from every one. Why can't I just take the glasses from the ones I have seen previously? In my opinion it is never worth it to see it in 3D. First of all, the technology is not very good yet. The image is grainy, and it is sometimes difficult to focus. Also, my eyes always ache during 3D movies. In my opinion, they need to get the movies better before they start charging $10 to see them, especially with the economy the way it is. It is mostly middle class and lower class that go see movies anyway. All the rich people have private home theaters and probably have the movies to watch before they are released, and when they watch 3D movies they don't need glasses because they bought the technology and keep it for themselves so that the lower classes have to suffer. Rich people are jerks...I can't wait to be one. Then I can finally have a toilet made of gold, and beautiful women that don't ignore me. Who cares if they are using me for my money, I am using them for their looks. If I wanted to get with someone with a great personality that is similar to mine, that wouldn't cause drama or get in arguments with me, and someone that I get along with really well I would marry a guy. But, because I am not attracted to men, at all, I would like to be with someone that I am very physically attracted to. It just makes sense, doesn't it? I will let you ponder that.
I hate roaches, that's all I have to say about that...you thought I was gonna write another paragraph didn't you? Psych! I am not going to. Believe me I could, I have plenty I could write about...nothing that I can think of right now, but I could think something up. That or I could just BS an entire paragraph of stuff. I am not that mean though. I wouldn't just write stuff to annoy people, and to lead them on thinking that I might start writing about something relevant. That kind of behavior is beneath me. It would be kind of like the end of the last LOTR movies. The first time I saw it, I thought it was ending like 5 times. It finally got to the real end of the movie and I didn't believe it, I was certain it was gonna go to another scene wrapping up stuff that didn't need to be wrapped up. Like, they could have left that crap for the nerds who bought the extended version of the films, but it was too much for mainstream audiences. I was contemplating killing myself to get out of the theater by the 4th cut screen, fortunately for me there was nothing close to aid in my suicide at the time. The point is, I am not like those jerks that made the 3rd LOTR movie. I wouldn't drag something out to the point that people are looking at their watches wondering when the heck it's gonna end. I know how it feels, so I would never do that to you, the people that are supporting my ideas and opinions. The last thing I would want to do is annoy you...anyway yeah roaches...they suck.
THE END
