-I hate how my school was inept about taking off holds when I took care of them, thus throwing me back a whole week and causing me to go into a panic about actually getting my damn classes and graduating.
-I hate how the buses seemed to be deliberately screwing with me this morning, with one not showing up at all and the other arriving late, and leaving me for two hours in the freezing rain. If the late one had not shown up at all, it could have cost me my first impression on my internship.
-I hate how much we have to pay for education in this country. Everyone is in debt, and a lot of people are unable to get a job to get out of it. Good going, America!
-I hate Hollywood and having to pretty up ugly characters. A sunburn does not make the Phantom ugly, Wolverine is a short, gruff, sweaty, hairy ball-of-anger, Severus Snape has a large nose, sallow skin, and greasy hair, and Jonathan Crane is
not a bishonen.
-I hate fangirls of the above mentioned and similar characters who only give a damn because the actor is pretty. Go read the books/comics and tell me if you still like the character when you see them in their true, often hideous forms. I do know of some teenage girls who went to buy Wolverine comics...and promptly left when they realized Comic!Wolverine looks nothing like Hugh Jackman. I can say this much: Comic!Scarecrow is no Cillian Murphy, and few depictions of him portray him anywhere
near handsome. Because like Wolverine, IT IS RELEVANT TO HIS CHARACTER THAT HE IS NOT A STUD.
-I hate Hollywood in general. I am sick of seeing pretty much the same plot over and over, special effects taking priority over the story, relying on sex and toilet jokes for humor (even in kid's movies!), remakes, terrible sequels/cash cow franchises, the same actors in most of the title roles, and the use of 3D as an excuse to jack up ticket prices. Sales are only up because the prices are high. Fewer people are actually
buying them. 3D is the cancer that is killing the industry.
-Speaking of 3D, I hate how the animation industry is focusing almost exclusively on that. 2D is still relevant, damn it!
The Secret of Kells. Came out last year, and is much better than any of the 3D crap it has to compete with (except
Toy Story 3).
-I hate today's cartoons.
Batman: The Animated Series should be a ******** standard in terms of story, animation quality, and characterization. Watch an episode and
try to argue otherwise. "Heart of Ice."
Now.
-I hate how monsters are glamorized in the media. I want my murdering, bloodthirsty, heartless psychopaths back.
-I hate the media in general. Lindsay Lohan's latest prison scandal is
not news. Our troops, our own people who are struggling to make ends meet, and all of our failing systems
are. Also, quit the ******** fear-mongering. Real life is starting to become a bad comic book plot. Kidnappings, murders, and the like are on the news because they are RARE. Look up the statistics compared to say, car accidents. They kill more people a year, yet people still drive.
-On that note, I hate parents and educators these days. Sometimes, you brat
needs a spank or two, because clearly nothing else is curbing their behavior. No, your brat is not adorable when they are acting like a hellion. No, you cannot do everything for your kid; they never learn anything. Yes, kids are going to get hurt, and no, no one deserves to get sued for it unless they directly caused the damage. Zero tolerance = zero intelligence. Teachers are not free babysitters. Everyone learns differently, and standardized tests only show who memorized the most facts (except maybe math tests that require showing work). Yes, there are winners and losers: teach your kid to be a good sport and do better. The real world will thank you. Yes, too much self esteem
can be destructive (#5), and yes, kids are far more resilient than we give them credit for. And finally, you are their PARENT, not their best friend.
-I hate the "genius" who decided buttered popcorn was an acceptable candy flavor. It is an abomination to my taste buds. Same for any cinnamon-flavored candies.
Actual cinnamon is
sweet, not spicy. Name it something else! Root beer and licorice can join the list too, as can bubblegum outside of the candy it was actually named for. If it is not bubblegum, it does not deserve to be flavored like it. Bertie Bott's beans are okay, however. They are
meant to be an abomination to your taste buds.
