JPARKER1984'S PROFILE

In light of my infamous dinosaure topic, I got to thinking. Since I embarrassed the hell out of myself, what is the most stupid and or embarrassing momment you can recall about yourself? Who knows, maybe it will will top mine (not likely.)

I'm currently a bill collector for Directv, my mother was one for Dollar Bank for 22 years and my family has a long line in that field, so I'm aware they can be annoying. Bottom line though, if people just paid things like they are supposed to we wouldn't have to call. I understand things happen, but I know from personal experiance people simply just don't pay their bills. Either they dont pay attention to what they sign up for via contract, or they get something they know they really cant afford.

Example, I had a a customer today tell me her bill was to high. Turns out she's paying for NFL Sunday Ticket, NBA Leauge Pass, HD & DVR plus she has our highest package. She was aware of ALL of them and wanted to keep ALL of them. That put her at 224.97 plus tax a month. I told her unless shes willing to drop some stuff theres not much we can do for her. I told her I can get her a 20.00 discount, but that was all I could pull. She said "Well I been with you guys for three years, I should be entitled to some free stuff." It don't work that way. Plus she has been late 13 mnths in a row now.

I get people like that ALL the time. Maybe not to that extreme, but it still happens. Then you get the people that say "Oh your going to shut my service off because I'm only behind 50.00." Late is late, If I'm behind 50.00 on my electric bill because of my own doing then that's my fault not theirs. Those people drive me crazy. Now all that being said, I'm fully aware some companies can be very bad with their call back polices.

So a buddy of mine that I've known for going on 16 years now, bought a whole case of un-opened Crystal Pepsi bottles of ebay (you really can by anything online.) Which is fine, but he got the bright idea to try drinking a whole 20 ounce bottle. Keep in mind Crystal Pepsi stopped production in the mid 90's. So a few hours later, he got real sick and started throwing up. He refuses to go to a medical center or anything because hes embarrassed. I told him, who cares they deal with far worse I'm sure. Long story short, he's an idiot.

***This is a rather long topic and it WILL contain spoilers***

I think I'm part of the rare group that didn't care to much for the old Superman movies. I thought they were to goofy and over the top. I mean come on, the infamous flying around the world scene. In my oppinion, they were a product of their era. Which I know alot of super hero movies were like that back then. Now, we fast forward to 2013 and we have Man Of Steel. I figured since it was made by the creators of the new Batman movies, it will be good. In my oppinion, for the most part it was.

I do enjoy watching the nostalgia critic, but I didn't agree really with his take on the film. I thought the actors played the parts really well. When Louis Lane first acted all bad ass looking trying to cover her story. The Nostalgia Critic knocked the her for wanting to drop her story after she discovered the true story from Superman himself. I thought it was well written, she felt bad and didn't want him discovered yet. Clearly the emotion on her face would say that. Though I did agree that his adopted dad was a bit of a contradiction. Stating the world would benifit from his gift and blah blah blah, but yelled at Clark when he said he wanted to be more then just a farmer.

I Really enjoyed the futuristic look of Krypton. The part where the simulation of Clarks real father used the ship to explain Kryptons history was really cool. Other then the fight scenes, my favorite part was where the simulation of Clarks dad helped Louis Lane escape the ship, it was genius. Sure it was a bit over the top, but I'm used to that from Zack Snyder.

Lastly, the neck break part. I liked it, a bit dark but I liked it. Alot of people were thrown off by that because they say that's not what Superman would do. 1) He was faced with either letting the people die, or kill Zod. 2) Anyone who knows the early Superman comics knows the he is darker then the modern world knows. 3) It was a much needed change of pace in my opinion. The only thing I didn't like about it was that they didn't play with that much at all. After he kiled Zod, he was clearly bothered by it, but the next scene was him all happy messing with the government.

I may have missed some points about the movie, but this topic is already long enough. Have fun RMN and weigh in your thoughts.

I was trying to think of a question that could generate some conversation that's a bit different, but will make you think. I hope this does just that.

Dinosaurs, we all know they were long go a long time ago, but take a look at humans. I was wondering how dinosaurs died off, but humans didn't. Sure we're smart, but with absolutely nothing really in terms of resources, the spread of sickness and fending off other desprate humans, not to mention dinosaurs trying to eat them. How did we make it? It's interesting if you think about it, if dinosaurs died because of heat well that don't make any sense to me. They were bigger, more deadly and had higher numbers. So If humans had so many dis advantages, that makes you think. Now the meteor theory, I call bull crap. If that happened, I see no way how it didn't take all the humans as well.

There you go guys. Dumb question, maybe it is. Let's try and have some interestion replies to this.
