Blog Swap Day

Today, I have switched blogs with another writer, Maxie, for the day to be a part of Blog Swap Day 3 on 20 Something Bloggers. So enjoy and go check out my post on her blog

Hello y'all! My name is Maxie and I normally write over at I Hate So Much... (http://www.ihatesomuch.com)

In the spirit of blog swap and such I thought I should write about something I hate since that's the title of my blog and all.

What am I hating today? Growing up.

I know that's a pretty big topic to hate so I'll go ahead an narrow it down. I hate that I'm supposedly an "adult" now and I have to go to work every day and act all serious. I've been slowly trying to make the transition over the past two years, but just last week I realized how many little things you have to sacrifice for the sake of growing up.

Last week I lost my coffee cup to that battle.

In high school my mom got me a really cute pink coffee cup that said "chicks rule" on it. It also featured a little chicken and was overall quite adorable.

Last week I had a meeting scheduled with a bunch of co-workers and some people from an outside company so I grabbed my coffee cup and headed to the table. It was only then I realized that everyone else had their coffee in a stainless steel coffee thermos or a plain black coffee cup.

Obviously no one said anything, but I hate showing my age because I'm at least 20 years younger than all of my co-workers. The next meeting I brought my boring black coffee cup.

Being a grown up sucks.

we hate 'hate crimes'

For real.

I hate 'hate crimes.' It's just like every other kind of crime, but yanno, deals with a specific reason.

There was a girl named Teish that was killed in Syracuse on Friday. Teish was born Moses Cannon, and a man. He was "killed for openly being gay" and also "for being transgendered." 

the things you should know

1) I hate Heroes. I cannot watch it. I started watching it last year because someone told me that Kristen Bell was in it. Yea, for about 10 seconds, once every four episodes. I started watching Gossip Girl because she's the damn narrator. That's gonna have to do. I can't DVR it anymore and sit there fast forwarding through little miss vapid Hayden Panettiere. UGH.

2) I liked Juno. I really did. But it infuriates me that everyone associates the script with Ellen Page and not with Diablo Cody. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against Ellen Page, and I think it would have been a very different movie if someone else had been cast as Juno. But, it also wouldn't have been made without Diablo Cody.

3) I hated The Black Dahlia. I rented it or borrowed it or something from someone and watched it miserably on a plane ride a long long time ago, but it was painful. I didn't like it. I hated Mia Kirshner because at the time, her character Jenny had done something stupid or horrible and I didn't want to look at her face one bit. But I realized my small hatred for Josh Hartnett as a boring, mumbling actor that just kind of grunts and doesn't do much. The only saving grace? Scarlett Johansson.

4) If someone asks to read whatever it is that I'm working on, I get sick. No joke, physically ill. I paced and threw up the last time E read anything that I wrote (I think it was the first chapter of the current project I'm working on, but I could be wrong). I'm not sure why it makes me sick. I mean, I basically bare my soul on this site for the fun of it and I'm fine with it. But, anything else and bring on the gastrointestinal pyrotechnics.

That is all.

hahaha... oh shit

So, book club was an idea to make us all feel more adult. However, I'm not sure I've heard the word "fuck" more in my life, apart from the summer Liz and Kat and I all rowed together. THAT was interesting.

For those keeping track, our next book is Good In Bed by Jennifer Weiner.

Good Things: No Cat Fights!
Bad Things: Overabundance of the word Fuck.

Haha. I love it.

Anyway, things I cannot stand.

I love my DVR. LOVE LOVE LOVE it. I was flipping through channels last week (something I rarely do now adays) and I saw my beloved wife (or soon to be wife anyway) on a show I hate.

Chuck.

My wife, to remind those of you who have forgotten or those that are new, is Jordana Brewster. I love her. She's gorgeous. Endofstory.

Things I also hate but watch because I'm in love with an actress: Life (for the lovely Sarah Shahi), and The Mentalist (Robin Tunney, I know, shut up)

However, I'm willing to sit through this stupid fucking show because the girl is gorgeous.

Oh the things we do for women.

Now if I could only meet a girl worth sitting through uncomfortable experiences for. Eh, someday.

Ok, that's about it for tonight

all for now

peace

Office Forward Monday

This is awesome.

Dear people who are buying "He's not MY President" bumper stickers:

If you choose to reject your president, you may go away, take the Red States with you and form your own country, but we're keeping the Blue States with us. In case you aren't aware, that includes California, Hawaii, Oregon, Washington, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois and all the Northeast.

We believe this split will be quite beneficial to the nation, and especially to the people who love having Barak Obama as our president.

To sum up briefly: You get Texas, Oklahoma and all the slave states. We get stem cell research and the best beaches. We get the Statue of Liberty. You get Dollywood. We get Intel and Microsoft. You get WorldCom. We get Harvard. You get Ole' Miss.

We get 85% of America's venture capital and entrepreneurs. You get Alabama. We get two-thirds of the tax revenue, you get to make the red states pay their fair share.

Since our aggregate divorce rate is 22%, lower than the Christian Coalition's, we get a bunch of happy families. You get a bunch of single moms.

Please be aware that the U.S. of A. will be pro-choice and anti-war AND we're going to want all our citizens back from Iraq at once. If you need people to fight, ask your evangelicals. They have kids they're apparently willing to send to their deaths for no purpose, and they don't care if you don't show pictures of their children's caskets coming home. We do wish you success in Iraq, and hope that the WMDs turn up, but we're not willing to spend our resources in Bush's Quagmire.

With the Blue States in hand, we will have firm control of 80% of the country's fresh water, more than 90% of the pineapple and lettuce, 92% of the nation's fresh fruit, 95% of America's quality wines, 90% of all cheese, 90% of the high tech industry, 95% of the corn and soybeans (thanks Iowa!), most of the U.S. low-sulfur coal, all living redwoods, sequoias and condors, all the Ivy and Seven Sister schools plus Stanford, Cal Tech and MIT.

With the Red States, on the other hand, you will have to cope with 88% of all obese Americans (and their projected health care costs), 92% of all U.S. mosquitoes, nearly 100% of the tornadoes, 90% of the hurricanes, 99% of all Southern Baptists, virtually 100% of all televangelists, Rush Limbaugh, Bob Jones University, Clemson and the University of Georgia.

We get Hollywood and Yosemite, thank you.

Additionally, 38% of those in the Red States believe Jonah was actually swallowed by a whale, 62% believe life is sacred unless we're discussing the war, the death penalty, social services or gun laws. 44% say that evolution is only a theory, 53% that Saddam was involved in 9/11 and 61% of you crazy bastards believe you are people with higher morals than we lefties.

Finally, we're taking the good pot, too. You can have that dirt weed they grow in Mexico.

Peace out,

--Blue States

Kat's awesome. Endofstory.
