THINGS THAT BOTHER ME
What needs to change in this world
College athletes are younger than I am. Most, if not all, are making more money than me, despite their majoring in Criminal Psychology.
Smokers.
Litter. Especially plastic bags in trees and cigarette butts.
Hair gel.
Gold necklaces on men.
Excessive everyday glitter.
Fundamentalists.
Cologne.
Honking cars.
The regular lack of loose bricks in the vicinity of honking cars.
Make-up.
The fact that most of the dust in our homes is a product of skin cells.
The fact that I don't know what substance I would prefer dust to be. Paper?
Most television.
This includes cable.
Dogs in sweaters. There is a reason that animals have fur.
When people rely on celebrities for advice. A specific example would be a recent program by MTV or VH1 on the top 100 hard rock bands. Inexplicably, Alec Baldwin was included as the sole non-musical interviewee. ??
Professional sports. Excluding soccer and tennis.
My limited bilingualism.
My inability to play a musical instrument.
My insurmountable laziness.
Guys who use lines when on the prowl for women. What boggles the mind further is that this population would clearly die out if not for the strange phenomenon that it WORKS! There are women who are susceptible to this, and so this repulsive culture endures.
Myopia. As in, the actual physical condition.
Stupid, stupid movies. Such as Coyote Ugly. How do I know it's stupid? I saw it.
Mallomars.
Tom Clancy.
When people use the word, "Anyways."
Belligerent people. Especially in groups.
Misplaced apostrophes.
Really big corporations.
Rancid fish.
