On the lighter side-Movies- The Keeper

When I was young, I used to watch Steven Seagal movies and enjoyed it. But now I am not sure about it, although he has been making movies right and left but all of them are ending in direct to video with limited shelf life. This is one of his latest movies in which he plays a cop who is doubled crossed by his partner and he kills him and escape to the south to help his buddy baby sit for his daughter. The usual gun and fist fights, but now he seems like a bit tired and heavy set. Anyway, if you have the time to kill watch it but don’t sweat on finding it. Not recommended.

The storm that was the story

This past week northeast U.S. got hit by hurricane Irene with all the assorted winds and rains accompanying it. My house was luckily enough not much affected except I had water in the basement like 2 inches which had to be drained about. It took I and my wife almost six hours to drain the water out, because every time we thought the basement got dry, the water came coming back. This maybe because New Jersey got hit by unusual amount of rain this summer and the ground was saturated and the water had no where to go, so it kept on seeping in thru the walls. But thankfully there were no power outages so that we were able to clean the basement without being in the dark. But not all of the people were lucky; some had their basement flooded out and no power for several days.

Cleaning up is still going on and the rivers that dot New Jersey are still rising making one miserable summer for some people whose houses were completely taken over by swollen rivers. As I have pointed out before, that it is nice to live near the river with views of tranquil water flowing towards the sea but you just need to have one heavy rainfall to ruin your house and then you have to do evacuations and salvage your belongings. I don’t know how people do it some year in and year out but apart from the financial loses the emotional and physical toll it brings on people can only be felt by those affected by it. Anyway people are trying to get back to their normal lives after these devastating hurricanes.

The irritating, turnoffs, annoyances and the obnoxious Behavior-2

I am sure everybody has their turnoffs behaviors too. For example, if you are snoring and the other person does not or is trying to go to sleep then it becomes a little bit more than annoying, it becomes obnoxious and inconsiderate behavior. I know that sometimes people cannot control their snores but what fault is of the other person who has to suffer such agony. Another one is when you are in a public place and people after doing their stuff in the restroom don’t wash their hands and just leave. It is clearly unhygienic and inconsiderate on the part of that person. Oh, the best one is when a person is flipping pages and every time he (or she) moist their finger to flip a page. It is highly annoying and irritating behavior.
I don’t know about you but another one is the law where you have to clean after your dog. It is a highly gross out behavior, picking the crap of your dog by your hand. Most of the people due this diligently and have an ingrained habit built into them, but it becomes really gross when the snow falls and the dogs do their stuff and some people cover it up with snow. So when the snow melts then you see the crap all over your place. I can just keep on going about all the annoying behavior that people indulge in that makes me stay away from those people if I have a choice but sometimes you don’t and you have to share this world with time. I wish people can realize what they are doing and avoid embarrassing themselves and other people.

The irritating, turnoffs, annoyances and the obnoxious

I believe that everybody must have encountered one of two of the above in your life time. Most of you may also have it in recurring times at different places and it is not a happy face when you see one. For example I have my all time top of the list is the playing loud music when you have a head phone on. When I travel the subway, sometimes I hear a loud music from somebody’s ears and it annoy the heck out of me. There was this one time, not to long ago that in a pin drop train silence, out came a loud music from a person who was in his old world. Everybody was trying to find out who he was and on top of that he was playing the same music again and again. I guess some people are not considerate about others and they will get theirs in the end.

Other one is of the person who drives the slowest in the fastest lane and sometimes they are on the phone. If you want to be on the phone drive at the right side and not on the left. I guess there the people forget that they are really driving. Other one is the person who is picking up his nose in front of everybody oblivious of his surroundings and then pretends that nothing happened. How much irritating and annoying behavior is that is beyond me?
