InspirAwesome

Occasionally, I am hit with bouts of inspirawesome when I'm in a pinch. Yesterday was one of them. I've been bitching (complaining) about my cable for like six months now. The sound drops out and pixelation takes place on certain tv channels and when I liberate movies and music via my computer, my connection gets throttled down to 14 bytes per second and then eventually just degrades to the point that I have to reset my ip address in order to get any bandwidth. I've called and called and it just goes to a message that they are aware of a problem in my area. Still, the bill comes through every month just fine and it's $130 a month now without anything special besides Fox Soccer Channel.

So, fuck them. The cable guy was working on the apartment above mine and I asked him if he could check out my connection for me. I explained what was going on and told him that I had no money, but could give him a beer if he wanted. He replied, "No, dude. I'm on a couple vicodins right now." That lit up my inpirawesome lightbulb. I offered him some pills and he offered to buy them. I told him that that would make it feel dirty and illegal and just gave him a couple.

Because of that, he was struck by inspirawesome, as well. By the time he left, I was on the premium cable drop, pulling better than a T1 bandwidth and him, my neighbor and myself watched East Bound and Down for like the eighth time. It was quite brilliant and revived my faith in humanity.
