Comcast Sucks

• I want to know why at least twice a month, seriously, I can't use the wireless Internet I pay for.
• I need to know why no matter what time you quote to come install service or fix a piece of your crappy, chronically malfunctioning equipment you never make it within that time. (Its like a 3-hour window people. Come on!)
• I need to know why I no longer have the History Channel on basic cable or the TV Guide channel (Yes, I watched the TV Guide channel, don't judge me), but I'm paying more than ever for service.
• I want to know why I was on the phone with someone in your technical department for over an hour and a half one time to fix my Internet and they still weren't able to do anything.
• I want to know why you guys are the only game in town and you suck so bad.

I'm writing this blog from a public computer, because the computer in my bedroom (the one that's two steps from my bed) can't pick up wireless Internet. This happens at least twice a month I'm not kidding. Comcast you guys suck.

I hardly ever complain about big companies. I give people the benefit of the doubt. If this is a one-time thing I could understand. Stuff happens, but this is a pattern of behavior. The only reason I'm still using your God awful service is because you're the only one that services my area. You treat people like crap because you can. You treat people like crap, because we're so freaking addicted to cable TV crap like Californication and Hung that we'd rather put up with you than to be without it.

I blame myself. I love cable television. I'm part of the problem, but I'm taking a stand. I'm making my voice heard to the blogosphere. You guys suck. You need to thank your stars that there isn't any competition in my local market because you'd lose customers so fast it would make your head spin.

Here is my suggestion for how we handle these morons at Comcast. Mona Shaw you're my hero.

Kids hunting with real guns

Are you freaking kidding me…

Why was this kid hunting in the first place? With a real gun? Someone please tell me.
I just posted a link to story from the Atlanta Journal Constitution about an 11-year-old that was killed while on a hunting trip with his grandfather.

This baffles me. I have never understood hunting and the thrill in killing poor defenseless animals. I saw Bambi as a kid and when they killed Bambi’s mom I was absolutely traumatized. I yelled and pounded on the screen like “noooooo!!!” and “Why is this happening!!!!!” (Ok, so maybe I wasn’t quite that dramatic, but I was really, really sad.)

But I’ll put my personal thoughts aside, I’m sure in some families hunting is a tradition and all that. Wonderful, but leave the kids out of it. Your 11-year-old child does not need to be anywhere near a hunting rifle, grandpa. Let’s make this act of male bonding one for the older men in the family. If you absolutely must get the kids involved, show them some gun safety and do it with fake guns with fake bullets. How about we not give the kids something they can actually shoot themselves or someone else (or me for that matter) with. Just a thought.

My prayers go out to this family, but this didn’t have to happen. This tragedy was totally preventable. Lets exercise a little bit of common sense people.
