I know that one of the guidelines for contentedness is to avoid complaining or making negative statements. Since I am aware of that tenet, I think it is acceptable for me to rant about things I detest. Also, I haven't blogged for awhile. It's significantly easier to get back into my blogging routine if I just can post about things I loathe (for the first entry, at least):
1. Those home-made, overly cut muscle tees that guys wear at the gym--- generally, the guys who wear these are not in tip-top shape. You don't have to be perfect, but when you wear those muscle tees, there is an emphasis of focus on one area---it better look fucking good.
2. The whole black leggings, Ugg boots, and black North Face jackets look--- I know that this look has been in style for ages, but I think it is stupid. You're basically saying to the world, "I'm lazy, but I'm also wearing an outfit that has a MSRP of over $200.00. I also hate when brand names are visible.
3. Those inflatable lawn decorations for the holidays---I think they're tacky (and this is coming from someone who loves all things Lisa Frank). One of my neighbors has one that is a giant yellow rubber duckie with a Santa hat. That's fucking weird. It reminds me some of the set decorations from Batman Returns. Okay, now that I Googled that image, I've decided it is more than weird; it is incredibly creepy.
4. The length of football games-- The constant stopping of the clocks--I can't stand it. John says that if the refs did not constantly stop the clocks, then players would be dead. There have to be modifications to the game that could result in less time AND less possibilities of death.
5. Rachael Ray--I'm not the only one either. If you Google "I hate Rachael Ray," you'll definitely get many results. I hate the sound of her voice; she sounds like the stereotype people in other parts of the U.S. imagine when they think of East Coasters. I hate that she has made millions of dollars on the concept of cooking simply. I do that on an everyday basis. Toss some olive oil (not EVOO), chicken, veggies, and rice into a pan and, bam, you have a meal.
6. Holiday traffic--- NJ already has enough traffic as it is, but the situation is exacerbated during the holiday months. Even at 10pm, you can sit on a highway and see a stream of red taillights. I live here because of John and his family. If I was still single, I'd like to think that I'd be setting out for a less populous state.
That's about it for now. Honestly, there are definitely far more things that I like than things I detest. This post was a good way to get back into blogging though.
