Wow, I just saw El Pollo Loco's new slogan on their commercial while watching the Padres: "¡FEEL THE MEXCELLENCE!".
Seems to me anyone with any Mexican heritage should be kind of irked by this. Even offended. And you always see this kind of thing any time an American company tries to push an "ethnic" food. Which basically constitutes anything other than burgers, bbq, maybe pizza. It just sounds ignorant.
"It's CHANtastic!". That's the new slogan for Panda Express. They're gonna get Jackie to be their spokesman.
Well, once I pitch it to them.

My iPod has been dead since Memorial Day. The battery won't hold a charge and the click wheel and center button do not respond. I loved that thing like a six-year-old brother. But since that weekend in early June, it's just been sitting on its dock in my room like a tombstone marking what once was...
In the pitch dark of last night, I for some reason opened my eyes and the iPod suddenly came on. From my bed, not fully awake and dazed from sleep, I just stared at the black screen with the white apple logo in the center. Very curious.
Then I saw it go to the language selection screen, which it does right after a hard reset, the last thing I did before trying to fix it. Still tired, I thought to myself "Cool, it's working again! Hopefully the buttons are too, I'll play with it in the morning."
After turning over to go back to sleep, about two minutes later, I heard clicks. The sound the iPod makes when you scroll with the wheel. I looked at it again and it was cycling through menu options on its own, back and forth. Ugh, now I'm creeped out a little...
I finally decided to get up and investigate. While still on its dock, the buttons seemed to be working and I could scroll through the menus again. I pulled it off and it instantly shut down. Damn, the battery still wasn't holding a charge. Back on the dock it went.
After the night passed, I tried again in the morning. Wouldn't boot, wouldn't respond, wouldn't hold a charge. Totally dead again. Obviously there are logical explanations for what happened, but I like to believe otherwise...

I can't tell you how many times I've had to listen to these stupid young couples in the building argue about the most pointless stuff. Usually it's a Friday or Saturday night, late, and they come home drunk and arguing about some drama that went down:
"You're such a dick! I can't believe how much you fucking embarrassed me in front of my girlfriends at the club tonight you fucking piece of shit!"
Can't they do this inside their own apartment? Just fight and get on with the glorious makeup sex so the rest of us can sleep in peace.
Right now some guy is getting chewed out by his gf, fiance, wife, whatever, for talking on the phone and playing Xbox too much. Outside where everyone can hear them. Seriously? Is this what their life has become? This is how they're choosing to spend their precious time on this earth?
I've found myself saying this multiple times this week about multiple couples. I hope I NEVER end up doing this shit with ANY person. Fucking pathetic.
