What is pissing you off this time?

You know what's pissing me off today? I'd love to tell you. 8 dudes attacked a large fucking airbase in Iraq today. 8 dudes. The US didn't even respond in time with drones and a couple of choppers. My right wing friends, all of em, are all fucking up in arms posting stupid shit about how 300 marines are surrounded by ISIS, pray and lets start the big war machine up and go whoop some ass. Stupidest shit I've seen this week at least. God damn that pisses me off.

And not let truth get in the damn way, either.

Goddammit. I am without a doubt the stupidest fucking idiot I know. Not one functioning brain cell. Just, a goddamn moron. I left my Kodak camera in the jeep for a day or two, and remembered it last night. When I brought it in, it immediately began sweating, literally, water ran down my hand before I got the length of the house. So, I, in my infinite fucking wisdom, opened the little door where the card and battery go. I pulled out the card and battery, and left the little door open so that any condensation inside would get air and dry right the fuck out. Which it did. Then, when I was putting things back together today, I powered up the camera, and was greeted with "The camera has lost the date/time and needs to be reset.", and then showed me the options: Reset Time/Date, and Cancel.

GODDAMN IT.

You see, friends and neighbors, some time ago all the buttons on the back of my stoic little Kodak decided to cease to function. All I can see, all I'll ever see, is that message: "The camera has lost the date/time and needs to be reset." Nothing can be done. There is nothing to be done. "The camera has lost the date/time and needs to be reset."

I coddled this camera for two years, making sure it never, ever ran the battery down. I would be doing something, and all of a sudden "Ooh, I better charge the Kodak!", because I knew it was over if the battery ever went dead.

That little camera would take pics that put the big, bulky Fujifuckingpieceofgoddamnshit I bought to shame. The Fujifuckingpieceofgoddamnshit has never taken a pic that even compares with those Kodak pics. EVER.

And I took the battery out. Fuck. FUCK.

I loved that little camera. Thinking on it, now, it may well have been my favorite possession. I cannot readily think of anything I own that I've thought more of, than that camera.

Goddamn I'm a fucking idiot.

I'm sorry grav. I liked your pictures too.

I can't help but notice that there seems to be more wrong with that camera than an error message on the screen.
