A good friend of mine, Jamie, created a rather sweet list of all the things she loves and all the things she really doesn’t like. I really got a kick out of this list, so I think that maybe, just maybe you, as my audience would like to see my little list.
My list is a little eclectic, but thats ok. Please do not be offended as I am sure that many of you out there have your own equally offensive list. In fact, a lot of the things on my dislike list I have done, so I’m in the boat with you if you have done things on that list. Also, things I like such as seing people limp could be perceived as handicap mockery. Be assured, I have been there and I have been the handicap, therefore I deserve to be able to talk about it.
So here is my list:

you are guilty of a few of those “hate” list :) but so are a lot of people.
i r knowing. did you like the list pain? did you have any favs?
some how I get the feeling that some of those things are about me….wut’s up with that dude?!!!!!!!!
Well not liking Violent Anything? What a negative shout out to me….All in all enjoy the list, but you ruined my evil plan of coming up with a sweet new nickname for myself.
your new handle should be “Violent Dz” or “DFurio”
I got the impression from our dinner, Jamie, that you were much more dissappointed with this list than what you wrote. The nick-name thing is a big bugger though, I agree. Many-a-time I have come up with a sweet name like “laser” or better yet “laser-wolf” from Fiddler on the Roof and I never could get people to call me it.
One thing is for sure in all of this, I have proven myself to be a hypocrite in many of these situations, thanks ed :)
ouch I came off that way…I don’t remember much must have been staring off into space Vidal. Thanks for the new dubbed nicknames Eddy. It’s some crazy alphabet you have there converting a “J” into a “D.” WINK! ;)
Uh, hey just ran across your blog from delicious. Saw this and thought you may find this interesting:
http://www.caffeineweb.com/index.htm
And in particular this
http://www.caffeineweb.com/NASA%20Study.htm
wow mike. very interesting. similar to “Super Size Me”, this article doesn’t make me want to quit, but yet to really slow down on my intake. Correction, “Super Size Me” made me want to quit McDonalds. This article makes me want to slow down on caffeine.
Thanks for the heads up! Guess I won’t be making any spiderwebs soon. Darn it ;)
Throughout that long list, I saw two that stood out. First of all, I love Jesus too (and my wife). Secondly, I think the whole Japanese / Chinese kanji tatoos are funny too. I wrote a little disclaimer on my own site, explaining my Gravatar, so that people would know it’s part of my family’s last name (I’m half Japanese) and wouldn’t think I was some poser. ;)
I think your list is awesome. i understand that you are guilty of some of those things but you mentioned that in your intro. I love your list and I love you that you even made a list!!
hah. awesome blog. very entertaining. aim “victoryyrose” if you get the chance.
Wow. You would really hate me then.
gook!
So, you dislike “People that don’t drink Caffeine of any sort for spiritual or any other reason”, is it really ok to dislike a person on this basis? :)
I don’t care for your list. It is a little pretentious, redundant and totally stolen from here: http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=145862355&blogID=356360983
nice site though, otherwise.
@ AB I think it’s hilarious that you find that the blog article was stolen from someone else when that blog you are referring to was written in FEB of this year, and this particular, (by Rogie) was written 3 years ago… just got a kick out of that.
@ Rogie, I don’t drink coffee cause it tastes like you washed your hunting socks in water and then brewed it.. I find no reason that I should like it…
