I came across, in my own mind, thoughts of things I love and things I hate. Somewhat inspired by Matthew Berry, a columnist for espn.com. He writes great articles entitled 'Guys I love, Guys I hate'. I kind of stole this idea from him.
So: Things I Love, Things I Hate
- I love the website The Art of Manliness (http://artofmanliness.com) It has tons of great articles and some funny articles, such as when it is okay for a guy to cry and ten worst products for men ever.
- I hate the price of books today. I went out and bought two books and it cost damn near thirty dollars. Second hand book stores are great, but I like the smell of new books and the fact that the spine isn't all shitty.
- I hate politics. I have been trying to get into it more and more these days. But it is hard to watch cnn or fox news because they are so slanted that they are almost horizontal. BBC news is great and touches on worldly issues and is very objective. It covers tons of stories, many of which I would probably never hear of if it weren't for that organization.
- I love hockey. And lacrosse. And rugby (although I don't quite understand all the rules for it.
- I hate basketball. It is an overrated sport by our country. I think that the point system should be changed so that every time someone slam dunks the ball, they only get one point as opposed to two points.
- I love scotch and whiskey. Yes there is a difference, no I can't tell you what it is. It has to do with how it is made. I just bought a fifteen year old bottle of scotch today (much to A's dismay I'm sure). It was a bit pricey, but not as expensive as the fifty year old bottle at the store that costs nine hundred and fifty dollars (yes, you read that correctly).
- I hate Starbucks. Is is really necessary to put a coffee shop on every freakin' corner or empty lot? And what options do you need other than regular or decaf?
- I love that the new CEO of Starbucks is closing thousands of shops throughout the country.
- I hate how different some bands sound live as opposed to the studio recordings. Case in point: Fall Out Boy. Watched a live performance a few years ago at an award show and they sounded awful.
- I love the Beatles
- And Zeppelin
- And Rage Against the Machine
- I hate radio stations today. They play crap music and commercial way too often. When the last independent radio station in Wichita shut down, the radio died for me in this state.
- I love records versus compact discs. It just sounds cooler.
- I hate people rolling through red lights.
I miss 92.7 also. The day I turned on my car and thought that I was trapped in a Mexican fiesta was horrible. Oh and I roll through red lights whenever I feel the need. I will do it excessively now when I see a red Jeep sitting there, in hopes that it is you and I ruined your day.
