love. hate. yay.

A new love/hate list. Read ’em and weep.

Love

Marijuana – Not for my own consumption but for those who need it or simply want it. How many people do you think overdose on Mary Jane every year? The same amount of intelligent people who enjoy the Twilight series. Let’s legalize it Cali, Yes on Prop 19!

Dan and Rory – Southern hospitality NYC style. I’ve been to NYC twice: strolled through Central Park, went to a Yanks v. Bosox game at old Yankee Stadium, consumed the art at MoMa yet my fondest memories of NYC are of time spent in the Lower East Side with these guys.

Myself – Like a flexible guy giving himself a BJ.

Summertime – Sunshine, sleeping in my chonies, outdoorsy shit, impromptu road trips, wearing shorts at night, bike rides to bars > (are greater than) the occasional bouts with bat wings, swamp ass and ball soup.

Spinning – Hey, at least it’s not yoga.

The hole in the wall Indian food spot at USC University Village food court – As you can see, I don’t even know what it’s called and to be perfectly honest, I don’t know how authentic it is but it is absolutely delicious. It is one of my favorite lunch spots and the fact that I’m moving locations for work and may not frequent this place breaks my cold heart.

The World Cup – Mexico and The U.S.A. may be out but my interest in the beautiful game and its grandest stage has never waned.

MGMT – They are main stream popular but rooted in independent art. I love everything they put out. If there is one band I’d want my grand kids, if I ever bust a nut and have kids in the first place, to consume to understand the caliber of music our world has produced in recent years, it’s MGMT.

High Quality Beers & Coffee – Like I told my cousin Vane one time, “Look if you’re going to come home late from the prom, don’t come home at 3AM, come home at 6AM. Make shit worth your while you know.” Same logic applies to mood altering beverages. Put that bottle of piss down and grab yourself a Stone IPA my friend.

My Blackberry – Yea, I’m that annoying person who mid-conversation occasionally looks down at his phone and pretends he’s stills listening to you while texting a “EWW ” to his friend on BBM because she just admitted she’s taking a poop.

Hate

Traffic – This is a no-brainer right? I don’t know how many times I’ve been sitting in bumper to bumper stand still traffic, looked down at the pavement, looked back up at the car in front of me, fantasize about stepping on the gas at full throttle and taking out as many cars as possible. Then I think about the cost involved and go back to just wanting to put a bullet in my head.

Sex and the City – I don’t think the “Is there a GOD?” debate is the world’s greatest unanswered mystery. I think it’s how intelligent and respectable women are fascinated by the most superficial and pompous jackass characters in the history of humanity. Yea, I said it.

Multi-tasking – I’ll admit, I just can’t do it, I really can’t. Call me a one track mind but I’d rather do one thing properly than three things half-assed. I’m a man, what do you expect?

Myspace – Want to know what a social networking cemetery looks like? Log on.

The misuse of there, their and they’re – I know high school/college was a long time ago for some of us but C’MON, you’re killing me with postings like, “Aiight playa, see you their,” or “I’m hungry but they’re isn’t anything to eat!” or “Ugh, I hate my loud ass neighbors, there soo stoopid.” Guess who’s stupider than the neighbors?
