"Hating the New York Yankees is as American as pizza pie, unwed mothers and cheating on your income taxes." - Mike Royko (American Journalist)
Let me start off by saying that I do not hate the Yankees. I do not like them either. For that matter, I don't even like baseball anymore. When I grew up, players did not take steroids and they didn't go on strike for more money. Gone forever are the players like Roberto Clemente, Brooks Robinson and Willie Mays. Gone forever is the innocence of the game. That's what I'm talking about. That's what pisses me off. And that's the spirit behind this writing.
Here are some of the things that I hate. Here are some of the things in life that piss me off.
In no particular order...
People that stand close to me in an elevator when there is no one else in the elevator but the 2 of us.
Fast food retards that get my order wrong.
People who think they can drive 65 in the fast lane while everyone passes them on the right.
People who only send emails that have been forwarded to them.
When my wife puts cold toes against me in bed.
Somebody who thinks they are better than everyone else.
People who think the world is out to get them.
Parents who can't control their kids in public places. (It isn't cute when they are loud in a restaurant.)
Every goddamn snake in the world.
People who are allowed to referee basketball games when they should be declared legally blind.
Small town police who think they run the world.
Instant replay in professional football.
The shot clock in basketball.
The fact that weeds grow better in my garden than flowers do.
People who think that only white people can be racist.
Oh, I'm starting to feel better.... How about a couple more?
Neighbors who let their mutant children run around and yell all day but complain when you make any noise after 10:00 p.m.
That there are no more cowboys like John Wayne and Clint Eastwood.
When birds poop on my newly washed car.
When I accidently hit the delete button.
That American soldiers have to die.
And, I really hate the fact that I'm getting old...I'm going for another damn colonoscopy in the morning. And after that it's off to the eye doctor....
