Shots of Hate

okay, I don't drink hateraid ... I sip from time to time. You know, to get a little buzz. Anyway, today's topic is: things I hate.

1. Young "Hipsters" - nearly everything that is hip today is a rehash of what's been artistic since the 80s and 90s. The point of being hip is to be "hip" to new styles... even retro styles can be made unique witha touch of, that's right, CREATIVITY! Freak the style by thinking about what's hot but not copying what's seen in a video or on the racks. Ex: Screen print tees are hot... rock a custom Tee from your imagination or from a funky retailer with your name on the back with a number - create a "jersey tee" with the front side still in style! *If u want to be extra fresh wear classic garments ex: a vintage clip-on tie from a thrift store will crush a new button down shirt! Oh yeah, and your music is poo. (do we sound like our parents yet?)

2. Bodies in the Street: why is it that a dead Iraqi, Afghan, or Haitian will be shown on American Media but dead Americans won't? Pick your global disaster where there is loss of life by brown skinned / non white people and during the first "shock and awe" hours of media coverage, and there is bound to be someone's brother, sister, mother, uncle, or second cousin twice-removed's body shown with no respect. I'll take it a step further... remember Hurricane Katrina? I remember seeing bodies in the street, on the sidewalk, and on bridges. Now, I don't know the last time I EVER saw a dead white person on TV... non-fiction rebuttles need only apply! As if brown skinned people deserve less respect - even in death!??- SMH.

3. FOX "News"

4. Pat Robertson - God don't like ugly and you have have no alabi

5. Sammy Sosa - not a good look...playa.

6. Mark McGwire - After admitting to using steroids during his "record-breaking" 1998 baseball season, St.Louis Cardinals fans welcomed him as their new batting coach. Even more frustrating was comissioner Bud Selig's statment regarding the incident, "I am pleased that Mark McGwire has confronted his use of performance-enhancing substances as a player. Being truthful is always the correct course of action, which is why I had commissioned Senator George Mitchell to conduct his investigation. This statement of contrition, I believe, will make Mark's re-entry into the game much smoother and easier," Selig said. I can't imagine a worse time to show compassion. Had, the player been lets say, Sammy Sosa... do you think Selig would have been so supportive? Shame on you Mark!

7.Wallflowers: If you paid to get in, why aren't you dancing?

8."Obamanations": Is it just me or is our 44th getting the 3rd degree from every angle? I mean imagine if the 43rd was actually criticized at the same level as Obama. Haters never rest till the best get down.

9.Twitter

10.Dirty Socks - not only are they a ses pool for athletes foot, the're just nasty.
