Hate The Game, Not The Player
- I don't like people who needs to say: "[insert city], here I come!!". OKAY. First, as if [insert city] cares that you (yes, you! Who the fuck are you?) that you're "coming!!!". You coming to [insert city] is not going to be life-changing to the existence of that place and of its inhabitants. You can imply that you're going to such and such city/place without the unnecessary and needless to say, tacky "here I come" saying. So, stop.
- I don't like French-speaking Quebecors that constantly need to whine about the socio-political situation of their beloved french language as if it is a dying language on the verge of obsolescence like its mother source, Latin. For some unbeknown reason, they are somehow threatened by their English-speaking counterparts when it is completely baseless to begin with. The French-speaking population is beyond bigger than of the anglophone and the lack of appreciation of someone else's cultural background repulses me. What I hate the most is their argument on how they can no longer be served in their preferred french language. This is ludacris and ridiculously pretentious. If a "hello" instead of a "boujour" that detrimental to your state of mind, then you have much bigger issue than the fear of being overruled by anglophones. They speak of acceptance and tolerance, but yet I feel like they are borderline being racist and discriminatory against the non-French-speaking populace. Having to read a "Reader's Opinion" column in the newspaper by some small-minded person complaining about the lack of reinforcement of the French language in the province by the government is extremely frustrating and is indicating that this province is not progressing on a socio-cultural level if people like this must raise their voice on this non-sense issue. Something tells me they never heard of the expression "Live and let live".
- I try very hard to be open-minded to things I don't appreciate (and I already consider myself a pretty open-minded person). But some things are just so hard to accept. Like heavy metal music and people who are somehow able to bang their head to the "beat" as if the random mixture of melody-less noise is soothing to their brain. I'm not talking of limp bizkit or some Metallica, but like heavy underground-type heavy metal music where the lead "singer" screams what I can only assume to be decipherable words, I think. I mean, sure, whatever float your boat, but on a health perspective, I'm sure listening to that kind of music has to be a brain cell-killing activity. I don't think I can ever sit through a single song for more than two minutes.
- F.O.B Asian kids on Facebook commenting on each others' status updates in broken English only the Jackie Chans and Jet Lis of the world can understand, really gets on my nerves. I feel like their comments consist of more symbols (i.e. ~, ..., -.-, =.=,^_^, etc) than actual words, which is both fascinating and retarded at the same time. It's just mind-boggling how they actually grew up in North America and are still able to communicate in Hello Kitty manner. I'm Asian and have a large percentage of Asian friends and I am myself a "FOB", but how is it that I'm able to not be, well...like them. I equally love Asian food and bubble tea, but I refrain myself from adding "~" at the end of every sentence. I'm able to adapt to both the North American culture as well as being exposed to the Asian culture also. And I'm the least multi-tasking person alive. Well, at least it's entertaining to witness their Sanrio-colored life.
