OK, I'm Sorry He's A Turd

I am sure that this post may make somebody mad.
But, ya know.
I don't care.

I called someone a turd.
To be precise- I called someone's boyfriend a turd.
I could have said worse.

I care about this person a lot.
I don't know if she ever reads this, but some people she knows do so she may or may not see this.

I was raised in a somewhat dysfunctional family.
I know.
Weren't we all?

Mine didn't involve drinking, beating, or incest.
But part of it did involve never mentioning the monkey in the middle of the room flinging poo everywhere.

Since that time, I have learned that a great many people also don't want to hear bad things about people they are currently dating.

Most of the time, I don't say a word.
Or try not to.

I have lost a friendship by saying something about the boyfriend hitting on me.
How messed up is that?

Be honest and see where it gets ya.

Anyway, I never met this particular boyfriend.
But, I don't like the things I have heard.

I believe he can be nice.

But, he screwed some other chick and I am not going to just be OK with that.
There are other things that tells me he is selfish, but that's the big one.

I will support her, but that doesn't mean I am going to ever like the guy.
She knows I think she needs to leave.

I just don't understand why anyone would stay.

She has her whole life ahead of her and he is just not worthy.

So, I am apparently getting the silent treatment.

So, OK  I'm sorry.
I'm sorry your boyfriend's a turd.

Ten Things Tuesday- Irritating Things

Well, it's been a pretty crappy last few weeks for me.

So, I thought maybe I might make a ten list out of the things that piss me off.
Or that I am so sick of.

So here's my list of Ten Things That I am Sick Of.

1. Being tired.
  I never sleep for more than 5-6 hours at a time and than I am awake. I am tired but can't get back to sleep. Totally sucks.

2. People that love or hate someone just because of their political party.
  Can't we all just get along? Seriously, every political party has it's good things AND it's bad things. People that think their party is ALWAYS GREAT and the other party is ALWAYS WRONG needs to get their head out of their ass. Or elephant.

3. My child being sick.
  Nobody likes their kid being sick. Somehow I never imagined I would have one that ended up with so many problems. I know it's not like cancer or a congenital heart defect. But, it is one thing after another and it wears me down.

4. Here comes the rain again.
  Mother Nature has really missed her mark. Or maybe that's her thing. Because it seems like whenever TX has a bad drought IA gets way to much fucking rain.
I just want to walk in my garden. And I would love to give TX my rain. And any other state that needs it.

5.Coming up with meal ideas.
  I love to cook. But, sometimes I'd like a little input about what people might like me to make.
But, nnnooooooo. So, I get to come up with ideas every day. For meals and snack/dessert.
After 16 years, sometimes I get stuck.

6. I think the NFL Network needs a summer vacation.
  There's a lockout in effect, but they keep talking about football. And I swear the older my husband gets the more the has to read and watch news about the NFL in the off season.
I don't mind football. I will watch games. But, I don't care about the draft and about this person becoming a free agent or whatever. A little bit is fine. 4-5 times a week is overkill to me.

7. Seeing something photo worthy and not having my camera.
  I do that so much. Lovely signs I would have loved to have gotten- Shit on a Shingle advertised on the outside of a legion hall, the Congress Needs Funk sign and many more.
Of course most times when I do have it, I don't find anything.

8. Having to wear sweatshirts INSIDE my house during the summer.
  It is always set at 72 degrees. The central air, that is. The moment in time when the thermostat reads 75 degrees is when the air gets turned on for the first time.
I used to have to go outside once in a while just to warm up in the hot sunshine. Also, when I am not thinking, I will walk outside with my sweatshirt on and just about die. People really think I am the weirdo wearing sweats in the summer.
72 degrees by furnace in the winter is toasty. 72  degrees by air conditioner in the summer is cold.

9. People that go on the news right after their kid dies.
  Does anyone else not find this just a little strange? And I am not talking weeks or months later. I am meaning that day or the next day.  I think it is poor taste for the news to even ask them to give an interview. I also can't imagine why anyone would want to do it.
It just seems like it happens so much anymore.

10. TV shows that are quiet so you have to turn up the sound and kill your ear drums when the commercial comes on.
   I miss my old TV with the smart sound. Everything was evened out and you didn't have to keep turning things up and down. What every happened to the CALM act congress was supposed to have passed? Did it get signed and when does it take effect?
Either the TV stations need to lower the ads or raise the shows. I know the ad level is higher to catch our attention. But, it is so damn annoying!

Ten Things Tuesday- Songs I Really Can't Stand

I love music.
I think everyone does.

There are styles I don't really like.
Crap.
Uh, I mean RAP.

I don't like a lot of country.
Some is OK.
But, if it has a steel guitar in there somewhere you can forget it.

I love the Eagles.
But the songs with a steel guitar: uh-uh.

But, no matter the genre or the singer there are bad songs.
It's unavoidable.

There are some people I can't stand because I think they sound awful.
Willie Nelson.

There are others that  every single song sounds like every other one they have done.
Bruce Hornsby and the Range.

This isn't about the artist though.
It's all about the song.
And in my mind, crappy songs.

Ten Songs I Really Can't Stand

1. "Umbrella" by Rhianna.
  I really, really hate this song.
Rhianna, I don't want to shine together and the Canadians want their ehs back.

2. "To All The Girls I've Loved Before" by Julio Iglesias and Willie Nelson.
  This song was such a big hit. Why?
I don't know. Not a fan of Julio and Willie sucks.

3. "Country Boy" by Aaron Lewis.
  Love Staind and Aaron Lewis can sing.
But this song is just too twangy for me.

4. "I Whip My Hair Back and Forth" by Willow Smith.
  Never been a fan of a kid that sings unless they actually sound grown up and amazing.
Plus, this song is just plain annoying.
But, Fresh Prince is proud so my bleeding out my ears is inconsequential.

5. "Blah, Blah, Blah" by Ke$ha
  First of all, get a real title. Blah, blah, blah- what is that?
I just can't get past the title.

6. "Fast Car" by Tracy Chapman.
  Decent music, bad lyrics.
Am I the only one that was unsure of her sex even with the video?

7. Paralyzer by Finger Eleven
  Once again, good music but very stupid lyrics. It just makes no sense.
Too many songs are that way.

8. "Something in Your Mouth" by Nickelback.
  I love Nickelback.
This song is just awful.
I am not against strippers. I do think a song about a stripper that sucks her thumb is dumb.

9. "The Day That Never Comes" by Metallica
     Extremely disappointing from a good band. I think they need to retire cause quality isn't as good. But, they're not cause they are working on a collaboration with Lou Reed. yay

10. "The Only Exception" by Paramore
   I like Paramore. I really do. But if all their ballads sound like this, they need to cut it out.
It almost hurt to hear that woman try and sing that. I don't know if anyone could help the song though.


Do you have any songs that you just don't like?
