Eight things that tick me off

I wasn’t sure what to blog about but it seems like a list of ‘Ten Things I Hate’ will get you places. A case in point is Chris Crocker or that flamboyant black guy on youtube that hates skinny jeans. The only problem is that I could only think of eight things at the moment that annoy me. Either I’m more tolerant than I thought, or I can’t seem to remember the many things that have pushed my buttons. So here goes.

8. The TV Show ‘Frasier’

7. Anything Ed Hardy . I once saw an Ed Hardy hair straightener with shitty rainbow puke designs.

6. When people use the letter K instead of C for kiddy stuff… like ‘Kidz Klub’. Then they try to correct the improper spelling of cat.

5. When people ask if they can try what you are eating, but they end up taking such a huge amount that they might as well just have all of it. Then after sampling your food, they stare at what you’re eating and you can tell they want more.

4. Bob Saget’s face

3. When people say “you’re a racist’ … instead of ‘you’re racist”. I don’t care which one is correct… calling someone ‘a racist’ just sounds so much harsher.

2.The stupid girls on the show ‘16 and pregnant’ that are all excited to have their babies, then immediately regret it once their kids are born. "

I didn’t think a baby would prevent me from doing the things I want to do…. I wish I had it later”.

One word. Starts with an A and rhymes with smishsmorsion.

1.My passport picture that actually makes me look like a Mexican boy with a jerry curl.

In This Sport, It's All About How You Stack Up Against the Competition. Get it!?

Some kids play hockey, others play basketball or soccer; fat kids in America like to build pyramids out of Dixie cups and call that a sport.

But it’s actually much worse than I thought and it’s scary how nutty these kids get over ‘sport stacking’. I’m just really glad it didn’t take off here in Canada; clearly the only sport that requires Dixie cups here is beer pong, everybody knows that.

Here’s the link to the original article: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124044351073445491.html

But all you have to read are these ‘highlights’ that I picked out from it:

“Steven, today a slight 11-year-old, was mobbed like a rock star last weekend as he strode through the World Sport Stacking Championships at the Denver Coliseum in his blue Team USA shirt. Squealing girls pressed close to have their pictures taken with him; little kids asked for autographs; a film crew from Singapore cornered him for interviews”

All the highlighted words, I feel, should not appear anywhere in an article about sport stacking.

“Mr. Fox's company, Speed Stacks Inc., sells the only officially sanctioned tournament cups, as well as weighted training cups, dexterity-building minicups, slick stacking mats, precision timers and special backpacks to hold everything.”

“Many competitors believe cup-stacking should be recognized as an Olympic sport.”

Anyway…I was just a little disturbed by all this and thought I’d share.

On the bright side, the Morning Benders are really cool because they put us on their guest list to their sold out show last night.

Balance is restored.

"MMMM That Smells Gooood! :):)"

I make the same basic piece of crap breakfast every morning at work and today was no different. I was tired as hell (Watched The Hurt Locker with Manski last night and it just wouldn't end) and going through the motions of making my breakfast that consists of two pieces of bread, a slab of cheese and the cheapest kind of meat that I bought at Honest fucking Ed's. Every morning I slap it together, douse it in mustard to mask the smoked "flavour" promised by the meat's packaging and put it in a toaster oven. I'm not a picky eater and I happen to enjoy my mustard sandwich but it doesn't smell that good. Especially today, when I left the sandwich in the oven for too long and burned it to shit. But after 3 overly joyous soccer moms came in and out of the kitchen commenting on how delicious something smells, I had to check it out for myself. I glanced around and took a whiff..nope, still smells like burnt toast + mustard. Are these ladies humouring me? Or do they feel compelled to say "MMMmmm that smells goooood", while peeking over my shoulder with a stupid smile on their face because they think it's somehow different from the usual conversations by the water cooler? What do I say to that? I said "...Thanks" when I actually wanted to say "Wow, really? I hope you make better shit for your kids...you stupid lady"

HEYO SUP!

WOOOOO! HAHA ... I've never done this before. I feel as awkward as the time I got twitter. I think I'll just post a funny picture of manski soul twista instead. Ohhh the AGONY!
