One of my many rants

Ohai there, if you know me you know that I'm an avid pageant fan and often go on rants on certain delegates and results, this is one of them.

There are only two things I don't accept in pageantry, 1) when an undeserving ugly hideous HORRENDOUS girl makes the cut (Venus Raj of the Philippines for example) and the other is when people hype UGLY candidates

I watch all the pageants from the countries that send strong delegates to international pageants one of them for example being Nuestra Belleza Mexico, And In August the final of Nuestra Belleza Mexico 2011 (English: Our Beauty Mexico) was held in Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco.

It was a rather weak batch of girls compared to the last 8 years but there were four favorites for the crown, Karina Gonzalez (Who ended up winning) Mariana Berumen (Who won Nuestra Belleza Mundo Mexico) Paulina Burrola and (I still cannot understand this one) Grecia Gutierrez

Grecia Guiterrez looks like a freaking FISH


I was disgusted by the amount of support she was getting "Shes the one! TONS of Potencial" "Shes a GODDESS! Gorgeous!"
I was just sitting there thinking "ARE YOU FUCKING BLIND? THAT THING SHOULD BE SENT BACK TO THE SEA WHERE IT BELONGS"

I have no idea how a girl who looks like a dead puffer fish could make it as far as a national pageant

So then final night comes, I swore if she got anywhere near the crown I would spit on the TV, the top 15 was announced, to my dislike she was included, then the top 10, SHE WAS STILL INCLUDED, top 5 SHE WAS STILL THERE, thankfully a rather stupid man asked her a rather stupid question she and in term gave a very stupid answer,

I was RELIEVED when she was called 3rd runner up, although the people weren't so happy, some went on to yell "FRAUD!" while then cameras weren't rolling.

And here's some random quotes from the guys on IRC that I ranted to

: lol, she looked ugggggly
: Return her to the sea with her people
*Draco attacks CupCake with Fish Creature
ewwww
THAT IS A REALLY BAD PICTURE
: So they were angry at the first runner up but not about #3? wow
She should be nowhere near a national pageant

It's hard staying motivated.

I have a lot of trouble staying motivated to do anything. I don't know if it's depression or lack of discipline or what. Dreams of the future are easy to come by, but often require control over things beyond my reach. I'm just being a little bitch about having responsibility, but oh well. Here's to eventually accepting life as it is, totally random and relatively uncontrollable.

Why Android sucks

Over the past week I haven't been chatting much, and it's been because I bought myself a shiny new toy. I bought the Asus Transform TF101-A1, a 16 Gigabyte Android tablet. At first, I wasn't so impressed with it. Eventually I started to find my way around and discovered how nice I could make things. Then, I ventured into the market...

The Android Marketplace sucks. Plain and simple. Finding apps is a pain in the ass, unless you know exactly what you are looking for. There are tons of apps out there, but most of them just don't seem to deliver the promises that they make. Many apps ask for tons of unnecessary permissions to use your device. Without the rigorous screening that's taken place in the iTunes store, it opens the door for some pretty scary security holes. As far as quality of apps go, the marketplace seems really lacking. The good are few and far between. Quality tablet-specific apps seem almost nonexistent.

I think it's a mere fluke that the Android platform got so popular. It started off as a nice base for hackers to play with their devices, while still having the backing of a major entity. Now the hacker community is just a small fraction of the user base, somewhat hidden away to avoid the beggars and skiddies who want their phone rooted and flashed just to get some new live wallpaper or something. I don't think it's as nice as it probably once started out with developers donating their free time to contribute to a mobile platform that actually made sense, as far as freedom was concerned.

The freedom is still there, but now mainly only to those with the patience to read the fine print. It was implemented poorly allowing applications to abuse the user's (pseudo) privacy. The Android world is a little daunting; It requires a bit more thinking that could be expected from today's automated society.
