Things I hate: When you are doing a job you dislike, you see clear ways to make things improve and to wotk with cool stuff, your bosses couldn't care less and belive you're happy merely for getting the paycheck every month. Absolutely desmotivated, in a "I couldn't care less for my job - Office Space" way. Has anyone felt like this before? Like your job is a bottomless pit of void and no one seems to care for anything but the money?

Awww, Zinedine Zidane blew up the SE version of the Death Star! In non-anamorphic! Red card!!

The most hilarious episode post-World Cup happened at a crappy TV station called "Rede TV" here in Brazil. There's this news sports presenter called Fernando Vanucci, who used to work for the #1 TV network until he was fired for eating crackers live on the air (when the camera spotted him after a taped segment, he quickly swallowed it!). He is known for his incompetence and stupidity. Working on this lousy TV station, he decided to watch Italy x France on a local pub close to the TV station. As soon as the game was over, he would rush to the studio and a few minutes later present the post game special program. The thing is, that was a 150 minute game due to it moving to penalty kicks, and God knows hoe many BEERS he had watching the game (he is also known for being an alcohoolic). The result? Two minutes of drunken insanity, non-sensical babling that costed him the job. After this pathetic scene, they cut to comercials for almost 20 minutes, and when they get back, two former goalkeepers, who were going to be merely guests on the show, were RUNNING the program until another sports presenter rushed from his home into the studio and took over. I had a hard time watching the video because I feel SO bad for people bombing on live tv or live presentations...

Thanks for the comments guys.

The hardest part in all this is the realisation that, while I can fairly lay part of the blame on my in-laws, I have some real issues that I need to sort out. If everything happens for a reason, this happened to make me get off my arse and go and get some help. I can move out of State and run away from my North Dakotan problems, but I can't run from the problems inside myself.


The best way to face this problems is... by facing them. Really. If they demand of you some behaviour or blame you for things you should not be blamed, the best way is to expose this as clearly and logically as possible, not letting it turn into a discussion or a more heated argument. Speak with a smile and anything you say will not sound "offensive", even though you are not saying anything of the sort. Except for health problems and death, everything can be solved by talking. Everything.

This soul mate of mine probably died some years ago, 'cause I can't find it either. But I've been slowly finding the wonders of asexuality.

EDIT AGAIN: Also to ric. You're just a bit off the mark by saying that Toriyama had no involvement with GT. I don't consider it canon myself (and I've not watched a lot of it either), but Toriyama did do the character designs (including GT-exclusive characters), and he did help set up the original premise of the show. But his participation was extremely limited. He also designed a lot of characters for the movies and TV specials.


The amount of participation of Akira Toriyama on DBGT has been discussed and debated for quite some time, and no one is really sure how much he was involved. When asked if he had any amount of participation on DBGT's production, he would merely reply "no". While he authorized the whole thing and possibly reviewed the proposed storylines, he did not write a single bit of it, and as far as I know, did not come up with new character designs, such as SSJ4, but merely authorized them to be so. He DID have some small participation on that DBGT movie, though (in which Pan's grandson search for the dragon balls).

So, basically, I belive they just gave him a huge ammount of cash to just look at the episode storyboards and say "yeah, whatever".
