Midweek Annoyances

This is the first post in almost 2 years, so it will cut right to the chase.

1. Nancy Grace: I get to the hotel and her ugly puss is on the TV. Now on one hand I have to giver her credit for covering a story about a small 20 month old being abducted from her bedroom. Good to bring awareness and I hope that the little girl comes back safe and unharmed, however, this is where my being nice ceases. Who the heck in their right mind watches this trash and thinks it is news? Why do you have to holler and scream, and state the obvious? Do you really think that in doing so that it makes you more noteworthy, more relevant, or that people will think you are smarter than a box of rocks? Your relentless argument of why the mother is not in town, running the streets, and why isn’t she doing anything? Well, you know what, she was able to do something that a lot of other people in the same situation wish they could, grab the attention of a national audience to help in the search of her daughter. Nancy, do you realize that in the same sentence of trying to “pick” on the mothers inability to protect her daughter that you basically stated that you suck and are a poor waste of all of our time?????

2. Koby Bryant Divorce: Why am I wasting my time? I now know why I turn to the internet for my news; my news feeds allow me to pick things that are of relevance and interest to myself and the rest of the world. Why does anyone care that he is getting divorced and will have to pay a lump some of money to say bye bye? If you ask me, you got to pay to play…next time take the advice of Tigers’ late father…you don’t need to play the game of marriage, just date. It’s easier, you can taste as many flavors of baskin robbins as you wish, can still have a child if you want to save your name sake, and most times you don’t have to pay anything at all, just offer the 15 minutes of fame. Lame!

3. Traveling salesmen: Why do you address everything as a value prop and opportunity? Do you really think that the 20 something year old female sitting next to you on her way home for the Holidays cares that you sell a bunch of cr@p for some company and you fly around in a tin can? They don’t. Quit flashing your business card, talking about the glamour of being you, and saying that you are 10 years younger than you really are…you are more likely in landing the $10M deal than you are her digits.

4. FB “like” business marketing. I cannot stand this damn thing. I think Mark needs to figure a way to allow us to ignore or delete it from our user interface. First of all, I don’t care that so and so likes to go to Buffalo Wild Wings on Tuesday nights for $0.25 wings. I could care less that Ms Smith likes the fruity tootie scents and smells of bath and body works, and I am exhausted with all of the Mr Rice loves Budweiser. Why not allow me to get rid of this annoyance, or better yet, give me the ability to dislike items and associated people for liking stuff. Now that would be totally useful. Kind of like the amazing burger king app that allowed you to flame broil pseudo friends from your FB account and watch them go up in smoke and leave your page for eternity…bring that back. Please! Or how about the ability to like bathroom stall number two because it is closest to the door, a bit wider than the others stalls, typically cleaner than the rest, and you don’t have to worry about your pants resting in piss…now that I would care about. Ugh!

So moving into the Holiday season, and into 2012, here is to bringing back The State of My Mind, and all the wonder that is inside!
