Love/Hate List

Another Friday, another Love/Hate List. This one will be abbreviated, since I was actually doing work today.

Love

-Snapple Diet Raspberry Iced Tea has zero calories and tastes AWESOME.

-Utz regular potato chips have four billion calories and taste AWESOME.

-The Rolling Rock I bought last night. Tasted AWESOME.

-Although I blew through three seasons of The Wire in about two weeks, there's still one more on DVD and the final one yet to be brought to DVD. Bodymore, Murderland lives on.

-The Capitals are still in the playoff hunt, with about 19 scenarios existing that would put them in.


Hate

-The dream last night where I was in a toy store looking for Marbleworks (R), wanted to get a train car with a crane on it, and somehow ended up running for my life from The Predator. Yeah. THAT Predator. I don't know if it was somehow related to the intense tooth ache I had or not. P.S., I didn't even know they still made Marbleworks until I wrote this and searched for them. I think I'm going to get some.


-The enormous influx of tourists in DC. Hey, I get it; it's a big tourist town, I have to live with it. But it doesn't mean I have to slow down at crosswalks.

-The content blocker on the network at work. Who says porn decreases productivity? Nonsense.

-The fact there's only two seasons of The Wire left. Boo.

-The phrase "whatevs." It seems to be way too prevalent among people I spend time around. At first it was introduced with a distinct sense of irony, but now I fear it has wormed its way into the group vernacular. Just say "whatever" like the rest of us Valley Girls.

Love/Hate List

It's Friday, and that means more things I love and hate:

Love

-When guys get older and fatter, their ties get longer in order to end at the same place on the belly. See illustration.



In this example, y = the height of the tie, from neck to bottom. This is not a measure of distance. The length of the tie is measured by x. In a normal adult male, x/y = 1. In the fatbody pictured on the right, x/y = >1. This is because x has been increased in order for y to remain constant. x is elongated in order to compensate for the curve of the belly, which is quantifiable as the function -(x^2-x)=y.

-Lupe Fiasco's new album, especially single "Superstar"

-Black-eyed peas

-The upcoming live-action GIJoe movie

-Puppies

Hate

-My standing

-My Microsoft Paint skills (top of page, this article)

-The Jonas Brothers. Who the fuck are these hippies, and why are they in Thursday's USA Today and all over the radio?

-Accidentally erasing all the music on my iPod yesterday

-Foreigners

The Friday Love/Hate List

Due to my recent (and until Shamrock Fest, successful) stint in rehab, I wasn't able to create my weekly posts. Well, today begins the Friday Love/Hate list. It's self-explanatory, but you might be a retard. Regardless, I'm not going to explain it.

Love

-St. Patrick's Day. Really, no elaboration needed.

-Along those lines, Shamrock Fest. Smelled pot for the first time since college. Yeah, I'm a square.

-Putting money on NCAA Tourney. Makes me give a fuck about Drake.

-Call of Duty 4, XBox 360. Modern weapons, modern tactics, modern war. Modern geek.

-The Wire on DVD. Never watched when it was on HBO. So bitchin' when you can watch one episode and immediately watch the next. Question of the day: what dude is Omar gonna bang this season?


Hate

-The Day After St. Patrick's Day. Notice no new posts from Tuesday.

-Losing money on NCAA Tourney.

-Getting stage fright when I really do have to piss. Why is it that when dude goes to piss next to me, suddenly my pee pee muscles seize up like C3PO on Tattoine. Investigation to follow.

-Celebrity ANYTHING (see below)

-Buying "Medel of Honor: Airborne" for 50% off at Best Buy, and not being able to play it because "Seriously? You can't think of ANYTHING better to do than sit around and play video games like you're 12?" Honestly, girlfriends just don't understand the finer points of conducting airborne operations deep behind German and Italian lines in order to destroy anti-aircraft or artillery installations which will allow the attack or movement of follow-on forces for the continuation of the invasion of mainland Europe. Maybe you'd like to be speaking German, but me, I got a war to win.
