Alright, I have a rant that everyone will agree.  Why do cords always get tangled?  Last night, I put two cords (USB cable and a charger cable for blackberry) on the coffee table, neatly next to each other (in fact, I don't think they were even touching).  They were both kind of in rolls like two bundles.  Then, I wake up this morning, goes to grab the USB cable, and DARN IT, the charger cable is all over the USB cable like they were having some hot steamy time all night.  You know...tangled messed up hair and all.  You guys had to do it in my living room?  Man, and on my coffee table where I eat?  You sicko!!  How can you do this to me?  Have you no shame?!  (yes, I yell at cords.)

This happens with all kinds of cords, and, no matter how neatly they are stored, if multiple wires touch, they will be doing the dirty business.  I don't know how much of my life has been wasted untangling things.  This is the 21st frickin' century, when we are supposed to have flying cars, people going to Neptune, and computers revolting against us, and we can't even solve this simple request? 

Forget inventing usless things like wheels and vaccines.  Make my cords stop doing the dirty deeds!

I am gonna get creative and rant on a rant.  I hate people who complained about the price of stamps going up to 41 cents. First of all, why are they still using stamps?  I can't remember the last time I wrote a letter for any reason (email anyone?), sent in a check to pay the bill (online payment anyone?), or sent a thank you card that wasn't an e-card (am I a rude a-hole?) 

This is the day and age where we email and TXT each other (which actually costs like 5 cents), and people are complaining about the stamp price going up by 2 cents?  People just love to rant and have something to rant about to make their lives artificially more meaningful, and shame on them.  Oh, wait...

 PS. People shut up about gasoline prices.  It's still cheper than milk!  ...and when I worked in Europe last year, gasoline was like $5/gallon, and no one complained.  (They just walked to places, actually.)

A fellow Unleasher who wishes to remain anonymous (but I think I know where he lives) writes in to say:

"Why is Dorchester not on the list of locations on your poll?Is it not the largest, most populated section of Boston? I could be wrong about that but I've gotta be close.Come on throw me a bone here. Living in Dorchester our whole life we can't take your poll and admit to living somewhere else just because it is the closest to us. Thanks, I just signed up and this is my first rant."

A great Rant, indeed.  We here at UnleashYourAnger.com must extend our sincerest apologies for this gaff.  No worries though; we have fired the poll creator...in fact, we released him back into the forest where he is again swinging from trees with the rest of the monkeys.

We added Dorchester to the "Fenway, Jamaica Plain, Roxbury" entry and hope this satisfies our faithful Dorchester fans.  

Thanks for the Rant, I hope it was theraputic. 

GO SOX!!

I wish the City of Somerville would do more about the skunk problem we seem to be facing.  One of these days I am going to get attacked by a skunk, no question.  At least twice a week while I'm out walking the dog I see a skunk scurry across the road.  I am not a smart man but I know enough to know that skunk + excited dog = smelly dog and owner. 

I remember when I was a kid once my dog got sprayed by a skunk.  My dad had to wash him with tomato juice to get the stench off him.  So, if I get sprayed, that is my plan.  I have bottles of tomato juice read to go and everything.  Because I know it is going to happen one day.  It's just a matter of time before the little pup thinks that black and white thing running around over there is a chew toy and finds out the hard way that the real world is a tough place.

Also, skunks love to dig through trash and spread it out all over the place.   That is bad enough but even if they didn't, the occasional putrid skunk odor drifting through my window is enough to make me want to hurl.  

Half the problem is people leaving trash all over their properties.  That is for another rant...  Also I think they breed in the MaxPak site near the train tracks if you guys know where that is. When they turn that into condos then where are all the skunks gonna go???  Answer: buy tomato juice now before there is a run on it!

Have you ever put your clothes in the wash, turn it on, and forgot?  Well, I am sure we all have, and it makes your clothes smell so bad!!!  The reason I am ranting about this is, because it just doesn't make sense to me. When the clothes are washed and the water is drained, isn't the water clean?  Yeah, ISN'T THE WATER CLEAN?  I mean, at least clean enough for it to not smell?  Why doe sit smell like maneur when it comes out?  It's absolutely disgusting.

My apologies for a non-Boston post. 

I've bottled these feelings up for many years but I think it's time to just let it all out: why hasn't someone invented a machine that automatically folds clothes yet???  We have automatic dishwashers, automatic clothes washers, automatic clothes dryers, but... no automatic clothes folders.

Folding laundry is probably my least favorite thing to do in the world.  It takes forever, it's completely boring, and I find it thoroughly unsatisfying.  And you have to do it everytime you wash something.  Which I do pretty often.  At least once a month.

How many of you out there have every found yourself living out of the dryer?  I know I'm not the only one.  You know what I mean.  The prospect of folding all those clean clothes is so daunting, that you just leave them all in the dryer, and go in there every morning to get whatever undewear and clothes you need.  The truth is, I'd rather live out of the dryer and walk around with wrinkled clothes than have to fold all of them.  The times when I actually do fold my laundry, I do only because I don't want people to think I'm homeless. I need all the help I can get.  But I hate every second of the folding ritual. To quote Weird Al, I'd rather rip out my intestines with a fork... than spend one more minute folding laundry.

I feel a lot better now.  Thanks for letting me Unleash!!!!

I had to stand in line at the liquor store this evening behind I woman who I swear hasn't showered in at least 3 weeks.  In fact, I had to get out of the line and pretend to look at some wines just to avoid the stench.  I got back in the line about 4 people back after that and probably lost 10 minutes of my night, but it was well worth it to save my sense of smell.

If you are going out in public how about some basic hygiene.
