Had my Birthday yesterday. Yay.
Now, I'm generally a nice person; I don't expect much; time with family if I'm not pissed at them for some stupid shit, maybe a meal out at a resturant that everyone in the family likes.
What I don't tolerate is a heaping load of bullshit, and having my expectations played. So, when I can say, without any trace of bias that Electronic Arts, as a giant soulless company, gave me the 'best' birthday present of this year (25% off of any purchase using their online store), it's safe to say that something's done and fucked up.
When I'm informed, repeatedly, that certain chucklefucks (read: family) are going to get me a HDTV to replace the 19 year old Panasonic in my room, only to recieve a blank card and a 8.50$ container of french fry seasoning? Yeah. That shit, even as a prank, doesn't fly. Hell, I haven't had fries in nearly 2 years.
So, I walked home. Merely 20 kilometres in pitch darkness. Good thing I own a good pair of hiking boots.
