What was the worst year of your life?
This year. Here's why: 1) That stupid b*tch whom I considered my "e-sis" named "Pinky" thought I was "bi" when she doesn't even know what that word means and guess what? She thought it for no reason. =/ 2) I had a very hard time on my birthday, because I was *again* tortured by my paternal grandmother. 3) Broke up with my so-called "boyfriend" who cheated on me with 6 girls (and even had sex with 2 of them). But luckily, I happened to date his older brother (now my fiancé) There are more, but I don't want to tell. EDIT: Fine, here it is. 4) Maternal grandmother died 5) Maternal grandfather died (and they were both kind to me) 6) Lack of money now that b*tch (my P. Grandma) now takes 90% of my father's wages (which is why I work now but that b*tch still takes 74% of it) 7) My dearest cousin (yes, DEAREST. 4 of my cousins are the most dearest to me. The rest are all heartless f@gs) almost tried to suicide. Luckily I saved her, but she'll do it again soon...I know it. 8) My dad had a heart attack (but survived, but he's still suffering from malnutrition *see no. 6*) 9) Failed on 2 tests (but still got admitted to college by luck) 10) I lost many of my friends in this year. 11) This year had the biggest tsunami of all time- the tsunami AND earthquake in Japan- and one of my cousins were there at that time. I haven't seen them in years, but I hope they're alright. 12) My mother went to FULL depression because of my P. Granny (no, I don't want to say it) 13) This year my dad's office was closed and he had to work in an office far away from our home. (And that b*tch still takes away his money) *Sigh* ...
I was sober for 72 days last year. It was the worst 72 days of my life?
Last year I was hitting the bottle hard, and I was once again strung out on Oxycontin, after my motorcycle wreck (NO, I wasn't drunk when I wrecked). Anyway I got off the painkillers with the help of a drug called Suboxine. I even stopped drinking because I wanted to try sobriety. Anyway the longer I went without a drink the more dark and depressed I felt. After not drinking for 72 days I started again. I don't feel that deep depression I felt when I was sober. Hmmmm??? Any thoughts on why???
What are the worst popular American TV shows of the past 30 years?
The Real Housewives of (insert city) is the worst trash on television and yet people watch it and it keeps coming back season after season... It is truly depressing that this is now the top franchise on a cable channel that spent its first two decades bringing the high arts to television. Anyone remember when Bravo aired commercial-free Shakespearean plays? Most of the shows that can realistically compete with The Housewives for the title of "worst multi-season shows of the past 30 years" star at least one Kardashian...As boring, predictable and stupid as Jersey Shore is, at least its cast seems to realize that they are being paid to act ridiculous on t.v. Yes, they often behave in a disgusting fashion on camera, but they're nowhere near as grotesquely entitled and self-important as the casts of the above "shows."
What is the greatest TV show in the past 5 years?
These are always a bit tricky to answer. What do you mean by TV show? If it is just something broadcast on TV, the Super Bowl still reigns supreme despite calls for boycotts. If you mean a series, do you only count the ones started in the last five years or do you include the ones that are still on the air? If the later, I still think you’re looking at “NCIS” (CBS) for drama and “Big Bang Theory” (CBS) for sitcoms. If the former, I think “This Is Us” (NBC) may take the prize.I tend to think of this in terms of what has added most to pop culture, in which case you would certainly have to give the nod to “Game of Thrones” (HBO), “Walking Dead” (AMC), or new comer “Stranger Things” (Netflix).Then there are my personal favorites (other then the above) which are coming from SyFy (the home, once again, of great sci-fi shows!).Killjoys (my favorite and somewhat a spiritual successor of Firefly)The Expanse12 MonkeysThe Magicians
WORST horse show experiences? +1 Other Q?
I had a lovely young horse that had just come back into work three days (and he had only been ridden for about ten times before that) when a mare I was showing went lame so rather than loose the entry fees I decided to take the young horse. Showing in the UK is very different and at one point you have to take the horse's saddle off and stand it up in front of the judge and then walk it away, turn and trot it back so the judge can see how straight it moves. As you walk away the judge will move to stand behind the horse and when you turn and trot up you run directly at the judge, who will move to the side and then get behind as you continue trotting. This horse had done very well and stood up well. I led him away and trotted him towards the judge. Now, I knew the judge was going to move, the judge knew she was going to move but the horse didn't so, before he got to close he dropped in behind me, his front foot caught my spur and down I went. I held onto the reins and he pulled away, dragging me through at least two of the biggest, greenest cow pats within five miles. The darn stuff was dripping off my jacket! I regained my feet and all I could say was "YUKKKKKKK' and screech with laughter. I took my jacket and hat off and these were replaced by someone bringing me in theirs. We did win the class but I was never sure if it was because he was a good horse or for sympathy for me!
What were some of the worst Grateful Dead shows where Jerry Garcia was kind of out of it?
Oh God...Jerry's second to last show in St Louis - summer of '95 was just awful. It felt like he was a full measure behind the rest of the band. It was really sad. That was my 49th show. I walked out of there feeling and knowing I was done. I left that St Louis show sad and depressed at what the music and scene had become. The music was almost a parody of its former greatness. It was sloppy and rote, not the same kind of cutting edge, impossible to genre-classify improv that made people like Ornette Coleman jam with Jerry. The St Louis show scene was riddled with criminals and scam artists, full of people there only to get blindly wasted, very little sense of community and little evidence of the Golden Rule. Lots of takers and dependent losers. The kind of people who would beg for gas money -- not out of some hardship, but because they were too dysfunctional/lazy to work a job, any job. People who confused the act of independently touring to see the band and America with a mobile welfare state. I didn't see any form of the Dead again until the first night of the Fare Thee Well dates in Sunnyvale -- June 2015. That could not have been more different. The feeling was one of triumph -- the surviving members of the band had made it through their own individual fires. It really felt like a family -- full of deep community and caring. No bullshit. Everyone I encountered that day and night seemed to be going out of their way to live the original values of the Dead. All of this was layered with a bittersweet acknowledgment that yes, the time had come to take the bus off the road. And the music was spot on. The furthest (pun intended) thing from self-caricature. It fucking rocked. Trey was perfect. That night was the perfect closure for a great band and an important chapter in my and I suspect many other people's lives. Many of us came full circle that night in Sunnyvale, ending on a sweet note sent far into the night sky.
What is the worst new show you’ve watched this year?
I do not know if it will be the worst as I am only up to episode 5, but The Umbrella Academy (TV Series 2019– ) has been a big disappointment for me.I came at this cold as I had never heard of the comics it is based on before, I was unsure what to expect, but the trailer looked promising. Sadly, it seems they have made a superhero series without the good guys having any real powers and they seem to get their arses handed to them by the bad guys at regular intervals. This show is more of a dysfunctional family drama, than a superhero show.I am not invested in the characters at all, TBH I do not care if any of the good guys live or die and I have to wonder why any of the family actually care enough to find out who killed their adoptive father.Why is there never an errant drone strike around when you need one?This is one of the few shows I have ever seen, where I find myself rooting for the bad guys.
Is scrubs the worst show on television now?
season 1 was really good, and season 2 was ok, but anything after that was just terrible. the jokes are so forced and it's not even about the hospital anymore. what makes it worse is the fact that at the end of every episode jd's corny narration always comes up with some deep & meaningful life lesson that was learnt throughout the episode even though it was just filled with crap and was about nothing. i wish i could slap carla everytime that annoying ***** opened her mouth, and elliot's overacting makes me want to break the tv. jd is acting like a girl and turk is just a mang. how is this show still going????? does anybody actually like it and find it funny??? i just think it has been downhill after such a promising start
Do you think that the season 11 of Doctor Who is the worst season ever?
No.I recently went back and watched some Series 2 episodes because I was feeling a little nostalgic. What I got:David Tennant using “modern” catchphrases to seem “down with the kids.”David Tennant using the sonic screwdriver at every opportunity to solve problems.David Tennant whittering on about how he dislikes guns.Y’know, all the stuff that is the death knell for Jodie Whittaker’s Doctor to be doing.(I still really enjoyed myself despite it having (arguably) the greatest number of dud episodes of any run in the revived series)If fans think that Series 11 is the worst series ever they need to invest some time and take a look at Season 17 (Destiny Of the Daleks - Shada). They need to take an especially close look at The Horns Of Nimon which is a textbook example of a show where the love and energy has gone.Or they could take a look at Season 24 in which a new Doctor had to deal with a risible opening script and a companion who wasn’t written consistently from story to story.Or they could look at Doctor Who - The Movie in which Paul McGann struggles heroically with a truly awful script.Each season of Classic and Revived Who has had its up and downs: there have been very few seasons that didn’t have duds in amongst the gems: I always point people to the combination of Caves Of Androzani and The Twin Dilemma if they want to see how inconsistent a season could be. Those are two stories that ran back-to-back in Season 21. Onme of them is consistently voted as one of the most brilliant stories ever, the other is equally consistently voted one of the worst.Series 11 wasn’t the best season of the Doctor Who. But it was far from the worst. It had consistently okay-to-very-good writing in each episode (I thought Tsurunga was possibly the weakest episode and it still managed to be good fun to watch while Kerblam! felt like it had a very rushed ending and a dubious point to be made from it). It was the best-looking season that we’ve had in forever and I thought the cast was very good, especially Bradley Walsh. The ratings were the highest that the show has seen in several years and we seem to have thousands of new fans to join us for the future ride.
