My Coffee Pot is a Liar

So my roommate Darren rarely drinks coffee. His dad recently came over to visit us and saw that I had bought a new coffee maker. Darren's dad even made a comment about it because it was the cheapest coffee maker ever and doesn't even have automatic shut-off. So basically it's a coffee maker/house fire starter. I didn't even know that they made coffee makers without automatic shut off anymore. How much could that tiny little addition really add to the cost? I used to work in electronics so I'll tell you how much, probably less than $0.25 including additional programing cost per unit.
So for Christmas what does Darren's dad give him, knowing that Darren doesn't drink coffee and that I recently bought a new coffee maker? A brand new coffee maker. This rant really isn't supposed to be about Darren's dad's motivation for buying his son presents that are so useless to him it borders on taunting. This rant is about our new coffee maker, which is in use if for no other reason than it is cool looking and it actually does have an automatic shut off and if I was to burn Darren's house down with the coffee pot he didn't even want, I would feel a little bad.
The stainless steel coffee pots look so cool, I was really pretty excited about it initially. But now that I've had a few days to use it, I gotta say it's pretty retarded. The stainless steel looks expensive and classy and the pot is heavy because, well, it's made of bloody metal, unlike my old cheap ass pot which was made of nice, light, see-through glass. So when I've been drinking coffee all morning and I keep picking up that heavy pot thinking that there's plenty of coffee left in it, and it turns out to be empty, it feels like I've been deceived. And that makes me angry. So I take it out on Darren.

Personal Note
I am so sore. I limped my way into class this morning thinking "This is ridiculous. If I would just be the tiniest bit consistent about my workouts and lifestyle I wouldn't have to go through this every few months, I just need to dedicate myself to the idea that I am going to have a lifestyle centered around health... or just give up entirely and go for the coveted title of World's Fattest Man." I am getting too old for this get in shape for summer, and get super fat over the Winter and Holidays.
I am actively looking for a job for when I get done with school and I know that there are going to be physical fitness tests that I need to excel at. I am trying to use that, to really motivate me. So far it's been a slow start to my lifestyle change, but I feel like I've got a more permanent and therefore, healthier attitude about the future.
Today was Kid's Day in school, which means I spent most of the morning just coloring and making conversation with a bunch of toddlers, occasionally taking the time to get a blood pressure or listen to breath sounds. I pretend to hate it, but it's actually pretty uplifting. It did make me miss my kids though.
