Oh, I LOVE that! Gawd, I HATE that! What, you ask? These!
I LOVE Breyer's ice cream. Especially the chocolate.
I HATE hummus. Yes, I've tried it. It sucks!
I LOVE Mayhem on the Allstate commercials. He seems to enjoy causing trouble. I like his smirk. And how he wears a suit but always has band-aids and stuff on his face.
I HATE the Progressive Insurance cashier chick. I didn't mind her at first, but now I hate her. If you're going to make us look at that pasty face and wear all white, lose the bright red lipstick. I don't hate her as much as I hate the Geico gecko though. Everything about the gecko is irritating. Newsflash: blinking every 2.1 seconds does not make you cute.
I LOVE my new cable channels. I could watch nothing but Investigation Discovery and Bio and be very happy.
I HATE my old favorites, A&E, TLC and regular Discovery Channel, because they have been taken over by stupid reality shows. You couldn't pay me to watch Gene Simmons, or pawn shop shows, or midgets.
I LOVE women's athletics! Bring on the NCAA tournament!
I HATE how, if the men's team is called the Snipes, the women's team will be called the Lady Snipes. It makes it sound like they will be shooting with one hand and sipping tea with their pinkies out with the other. They're there to compete and win, just like the men. Nobody calls the men the "Gentlemen Snipes."
I LOVE getting older cos I know so much more about so many things than I did when I was young. I know who I am, and what pleases me. I know so much more about what matters, and what doesn't.
I HATE getting older cos my body gets bigger, slower and tireder.
I LOVE little gatherings
I HATE big mob scenes.
I LOVE humor, irreverence, reverence, patience and enthusiasm.
I HATE pretension, ego, fake boredom, real boredom and dogma.
I LOVE dogs.

I love the basket on my bike. I love being 41. I love blue slurpees. I love my tubal ligation. I love you. You made reading become delicious in a sinful way. THANK GOD!
ReplyDeleteI hate spagetti. Alot. I hate it when people don't 'see' me. I hate that it took half my life to begin to figure out who I am. I hate moving. I hate inequality and oppression. I hate despair.
Love the song clip--emmy lou's voice and cohen's words, also you and your immense talent and all of us who share a sense of the ridiculous and the ironies of life.
ReplyDeleteI only have truly hated one thing in my life, my old boss in Parks Maintenance, Earl the Worm. And professional republicans.
