If I move the monitor cable around on my computer, the words and screen get all stretched and blurred. It's annoying as fuck and I want to fix it. Is it the cable that is bad? Monitor take a shit?

Most likely the connector is loose.  Probably not going to get unloose.

Fixes:

1. Stop wiggling the cable, or
2. Use HDMI.

Yeah, loose connector somewhere.  You could also (assuming this is VGA, a blue plug) unplug it and make sure none of the pins are bent.
