a brief bitch list
Hey, who doesn't like to complain from time to time? I try to limit my whinging (great Irish term for whining) to a bare minimum, but being that it was my birthday yesterday, my birthday present to myself is the chance to kinda complain a little. Here's a list of things that have annoyed me as of late:

• When you tell someone you're sick and their response is "Ugh, well, stay away from me." Fuck you very much buddy. I'm sure I told you as a warning for your help, not because I was looking for a little human compassion or anything. Seriously, what the fuck is up with humanity that sympathy takes a backseat to greedy self-interest? It's like the president spending 40 million on his inauguration (SECOND inauguration) while the rest of the countries in the world spend half their GDP on tsunami relief. Urgh.
• People who say "I have an addictive personality" as an excuse as to why they have such little self-control. First of all, it should be addicted personality; the other way it means I can't get enough of your banal ass, and secondly let's call a spade a spade - you have no willpower, you are weak-willed. As far as being somehow genetically easily addicted there are three possibilities - 1) family history of alcohol abuse 2) family history of narcotic abuse, possibly while you were fetal and 3) you're a weak-willed lame-ass. "Addictive personality" my ass.
• The death of the individual's rights and powers. I mean seriously - I feel like the individual man is so ridiculously powerless in our society today. I feel like the elite in our country run everything the way they want it with no concern for how their methods of making profit affect anyone else. (this includes the current executive administration) The "little guy" has no power, absurdly enough, in the greatest democracy on earth. Seriously, the rich get away with murder, while the whole country has to watch and digest the murder trial of a fucking manure salesman.
• This country's bizarre obsession with celebrity retards. I saw a show on VH1 today about the most "Shocking Celebrity Hair Moments." An entire show devoted to celebrity hair. I almost showered with the toaster after being exposed to that level of ridiculous celebrity minutiae worship. Beyond that, all these celebrity "moment" countdown shows on VH1 are just turning into the bitter not-so-famous taking the most vicious potshots at legitimate celebrities for the most strained of reasons. Get a legitimate career, losers.
• Yeah, I had more, but I've had like three or four glasses of wine since beginning this blog. I guess I just have an addictive personality.
