    let downs

    Anyone have an big expectations for anything and when it came out you were either really let down in the direction they went or they released a product with way less then they promised(pretty much a gadget-heads life)

    This was not a life let down but recently I rewatched the matrix trilogy. When I was younger I watch the original quite a few times but only saw the sequels in theater once so I figured I would give them another go. Even though the original has a lot lacking it was a solid base for what could have been an awesome trilogy with an original idea. It ended up being a huge mess of everything. The huge orgy scene that opens the second one along with all the dialog pretty much being "I know what you're going to do- but why" "You already know the answer to that question so let's just keep talking back and forth like we both know everything and leave the audience trying to keep up with what the **** is going on"

    It was marketing genius but it's too bad to get the movies you had to see the animatrix which was actually really good and I might have to rewatch that soon also, the video game which I don't know ANYONE who played it, and I remember there being books as well?

    Any recent let downs?

    Not a recent let down. But, I had high hopes for the massive multiplayer star wars game. Sucked. Don't even remember what they called it now...

    Letdowns?

    The milf. Awesome omelets, decent convo... the rest downhill. But she's gone now anyway.

    This site. Went from jokes to politics ad mother****ing nauseum.

    Apple iPhone. Sure, it's the "jesus phone"... but I feel like it's missing so much at times. And the 3GS... heh. Suckers. I would not have paid for basically the same phone as before.

    Egg salad. I remember getting better farts from prior egg salad sammiches.

    Sony PSP Go. Seriously... go **** yourself Sony.

    This chewing gum. Only Fruit Stripe gum last less long.

    Whoa!! What happened to the milf?!

    And I don't get let down anymore. I've learned to just have 0 expectations for anything. I used to get let down all the time as a kid, so I stopped expecting things, and life has been swell. I rely on myself, and nobody else.

    Oh, and the Asian girl. She let me down.

    Bleh, oh well. I have the crazy white chick that has actually been surprisingly awesome. She's not crazy depressed, so that's a plus.

    to get a full beard you have to let it fill in. mine doesn't all grow at once either. you have to let it grow out trim it and keep doing that till the rest fills in. why do you think I haven't shaved fully in years? it's a pain in the ass.

    Now this is a beard.



    Like an Amish Joe Dirt if you will.

    Don't worry, I've shaved it since then...

    My Solar Monkey Sucks and the'r company is a bunch of rip-off-thieves

    It doesn't Charge anything, they claimed they'd send me a new battery and a new tip or my Smart phone, and nothing arrived after 2 months and 10+ e-mails claiming that they sent it twice.

    BIG let Down
