I hate the cold that bites through clothing on an early winter morning. The pain makes motivation a tough thing to achieve.
I hate the sound of the phone as I try to sleep. Sometimes it is never-ending and I wish I could smack the caller.
I hate the sound of a dog barking as I try to sleep. I can shush it as many times as I want, but it will just go back to barking within five minutes.
I hate the homophobe that places his or her own rights above other human beings.
I hate the racist that does the same.
I hate not having enough Coca-Cola to get through a weekend.
I hate the Facebook junkie who won't admit their problem.
I hate the Facebook user intent on expressing their "thoughts and prayers" in regard to every little disaster. Both thoughts and prayers are private, and you are only posting them to make others think highly of you. In the end, you crave each and every notification that says someone has 'liked' your status.
I hate the bug that crosses the boundaries I have set for us. We could have coexisted, but if it insists on charging me, it must die.
I hate the snow, but only when it interferes with my ability to go places I need to go.
You'll get this a lot, but I hate people. I don't inherently hate them for who they are or what they believe (that can come later). I hate them simply for being other people. The perfect world in which I can go about my tasks without interaction from the people in my town could never exist outside of my own imagination, and that alone is worth all of the hate.
I had no idea anyone else set boundaries with the bugs in their room! I do the same, if they stay on the ceiling they live, if they come to my territory I must kill them.
ReplyDeleteHaha, I also enjoyed the bug comment. There was this one time, I really needed to pee, and I went to the bathroom and a HUGE spider was sitting right next to the toilet...so I got a shampoo bottle and smashed the crap out of it. But then it didn't look very smooshed so I tried poking it with the bottle and it started running at me and I screamed and then it died after that. :D And I got to pee!
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I think your hates are pretty valid. It seems like you enjoy your sleep (I do too) and that Facebook in general just upsets you. This says a moderate amount about you as a person, and that's pretty cool. I feel like you could've told us some more things you hate though, and that would have revealed who you are even more.
It's amazing how the things you hate really reveal a person. But also good job, I liked this!
This piece was really amusing. I totally agree with the Facebook, homophobe, racist comment. I really enjoyed the last paragraph, you were stating all these things you hate and then explaining you are the way you are, which lets people understand. Great work!
ReplyDeleteI like the contrast most, Braden. Like we talked about, you both highlight and undercut your serious dislikes with the move pet-peevy ones (coke, bugs). Funny.
