Random Ramblings 0: Better Start Somewhere
Everyone. Shit that was easy. And short. Talk about anti-climatic. I guess I'll get more specific then. If I really had to pick a single person out of all of you pieces of shit that irritated me the most, I would actually have to pick myself. And honestly, if any of you would answer otherwise, you're fucking wrong and stupid as shit. We are our own worst enemies at all times. Every day you do shit and then wonder "why the fuck did I just do that shit?" See what I mean? You're irritating as fuck. I'm irritated at myself right this second, writing a fucking blog post that two people might read rather than doing my work that I know for a fact would by seen by at least like, three people. We're always getting in our own way, holding ourselves back, and putting ourselves down in some form or another. It's that constant strive for perfection that allows us to really really hate ourselves when we "fail." I put that in quotes because obviously we don't. I will still finish my work and do other things, but I won't do them as well as I know I could, even if I do them really fucking well. I've gotten A's on assignments, been praised by managers for what I deliver all for work that I thought was pretty shitty. And I don't say that to ramble about how amazing I am, I'm saving that for its own post, but more to drive home that idea that we always irritate ourselves. I think this is a good thing though, I genuinely think it's the best answer to this question because we need to irritate ourselves. If we don't then we'd all be lazy blobs of shit who wouldn't do anything to better ourselves be that physically mentally or emotionally. Without it we'd all be fat, immature and legally retarded but think that everything was great with our lives and ourselves. We would be like the people in Wall-e or some shit. How's that for some forced movie references? Gotta stick to the real meat of this project right? It's this irritation that pushes us to better ourselves, to expect what we know we are capable of from ourselves, hell it even makes us write shitty blog posts on a website noone visits. Irritation is a powerful tool to initiate action. Just look at kids. Those things are annoying as fuck, and I'm pretty sure they fucking know it. But they get whatever they fucking want just so they'll shut the fuck up and give you some goddamned peace and quiet.
I swear this wasn't planned, but honestly what a perfect topic for a first post. It was irritation with my inactivity that drove me to start typing in the first place. It's the same irritation that makes me edit the podcast that all what? 36? of you listen to, and it's the same irritation that makes me do my work, or go to the gym, or not eat that seventh slice of pizza or whatever the fuck else. So I say stay irritated, and honestly you should be concerned as fuck if your answer to the question who irritates you the most isn't yourself.
I'm going to label this post number 0, since we love doing stupid shit like that here at Random Reviews and Other Ramblings. I've already found a way better site for prompts. If I had found that first, this whole post would've been about rodents instead. Goddamn that would have been amazing. So don't expect this weird existential shit, it's not normal and really has no place here, but this is practice post #0, so go fuck yourself.

Episode 4: Toad Road
Gordon and Geoff watch a weird genre blend of a film. This movie uses documentary footage of heavy drug use and then blends in a horror/thriller story in to it. It's probably not worth your time watching this one but maybe give it a go if you're really super mega bored. Also, we talk about the new Destiny DLC and Edge-Fest 2015. Next week, we'll be watching The General. It's a silent film so we get a unique opportunity to record while watching! A commentary if you will!
