Stolen shamelessly from Spo.
I don't give a fat rat's ass about the following topics:
awards shows, media trials, celebrities, political scandals
facebook and twitter (I don't have an account and I never will)
faux (fox) news (fair and balanced my fat ass!)
penn state university (just because I live in PA doesn't mean I get all gaga over their stoopid football team)
football/basketball/hockey/soccer pro teams (but I DO love my baseball even though my team sucks major ass)
rethuglicans/stoopid people (every last one of them)
most newspaper comics (except doonesbury, pearls before swine, and peanuts)
the latest movies/tv shows (most of them are inane and vapid)
the olympics
the latest fashion trends/shoes/makeup (things girls are SUPPOSED to be interested in; guess I am not a real girl cause I have NEVER been interested in this shit)
video games
skateboarding/extreme sports
(c)rap music (would the earth PLEASE swallow kanye west / jay-z / nicki minaj / lil [any name here] immediately, TYVM!)
I just realized the topics in which I am interested I can count on both hands, yet the uninteresting topic turds of life would fill a dumpster.
Now you've got me scared. If this amount of energy is put into NOT caring about these subjects, heaven help those who oppose the things you DO care about! I dare say you eat them for breakfast!
ReplyDeleteIn your list the only one I'd come out strongly in favour of is the Olympics (Summer games only, of course), though it could do without the mindless nationalism - and commercialism.
Although it always makes me feel proud to see a compatriot winning medals for the country, which I think is only natural, I think if they went back to competing on individual competitive merit, regardless of the country of origin, it would be of infinitely more value to mankind. But the forces are too strong to give up any chance of making a profit on the backs of gullible people like me.
Oh, and I do plead guilty to rubbing my hands with glee when a Conservative politician is caught up in a scandal of a sexual nature, moreso when they've revealed themselves as a big-time hypocrite. It's such fun to witness.
"heaven help those who oppose the things you DO care about! I dare say you eat them for breakfast!" - HELL YEAH! we philly girls are fierce and feisty and bob help anyone that stands in our way! :)
DeleteRAWRRRRRR!
On Hallowe'en you must scare the bejeesus out of all the kids. No 'tricking' for you!
Deleteah, but there are no children in my 'hood, so Halloween is a non-event at my house.
Deletehell yeah! brats were never in the cards for me; I don't have a "mother gene".

ReplyDeleteI nearly choked on my cafe con leche!
I aim to please and amuse, honey. have a great day! :)
DeleteWell, are you sure you are American? I agree with you completely though I read the best articles on Facebook (Farce book as they call it in Europe) and I love Don Piraro who write "Bizarro". Life can be very long and boring, caring about what is going on in the "land of the me".
ReplyDeleteyep, 100% American born and raised in Philadelphia. :)
DeleteI love a good rant! I’m going to borrow “turds of life”. You may see it in a post soon.
ReplyDeleteborrow away, honey; 95% of life is turds, 5% is flowers. I would rather concern myself with the flowers than the turds. flowers are pretty and smell a hell of a lot better than turds! :)
DeleteHere, here, sister,facebook and twitter (I don't have an account and I never will) ME TOO! I could give to shits if someone just had a jelly donut! I like to read, so I guess that why I like blogging, far more entertaining.
ReplyDeletei heart "pearls before swine"!
ReplyDeleteit's for people who like snark and thinking. plus the artist is easy on the eyes (wink wink).
Deletewhatcha been up to, honey? long time no hear!
You are a most sensible woman to avoid these tedious topics, indeed.
ReplyDeletethank you, dear. people wonder why I am so "weird". I'm not weird, I just don't give two shits about what most people consider "interesting". I yam what I yam; so be it. smooches!
DeleteWe diverge about a couple of things on your list but that's as it should be.
ReplyDeleteMore importantly, your comment "lil [any name here]" generated the loudest out-loud laugh I've had in a while. Thanks!
