Pet peeves

1. Smokers (especially those who smoke in the morning and in public toilets)
2. People who text while driving (yes, there are people who still do these moronic things)
3. People who turn on their cellphones in the cinema, be it for speaking, texting or playing games like Candy Crush
4. People who bring kids below 10 into public areas like cinemas or restaurants
5. People who constantly interrupt you when you're talking
6. People who have an urge to say EVERYTHING on their minds
7. People who yell at you for petty reasons
8. Stupid drivers on the road (like those who signal left or right but then decide not to turn)
9. People who think they know what you're going to say and try to preemptively move against that, but they're totally wrong
10. When my computer loads too slow
11. When my cable TV company screens the best movies in the wee hours of the morning
12. When my neighbours upstairs dump gallons of water off the balcony instead of down the drain (seriously, they are beyond retarded)
13. People who constantly post photos on Facebook, like every freaking day
14. People who won't pick up their phones when you call them, and they know it's important that they do
15. People who make plans that involve you without consulting you first
16. People who aren't punctual
17. Movie directors who make spoof films like Scary Movie, Date Movie, Vampires Suck, Meet The Spartans etc, and continue to do so
18. People who procrastinate
19. Men who beat their wives (I'm including this because there have been many cases of women being abused by their husbands here lately)
20. Finally, rich people who have the dough to buy expensive apartments but whine and complain about paying petty late interests (I know this because I work in a condo's management office)


I'll focus my next post on stuff I love. Hopefully.

There Goes My Baby

Marion Raven turns 29 today. Many happy returns of the day.

Today is also the day she's getting married, so congratulations are in order.

It feels like only yesterday when I first discovered her and Marit, only yesterday when I met her in person and shook her hand, only yesterday when I heard her perform live. Time really flies.

Listen To This: Oblivion

I know this is a bit late, but I'd like to share this with you. This song plays at the end of the film Oblivion, starring Tom Cruise. It's just brilliant and perfect for a sci-fi piece.

Hmmm

I haven't had the time nor the inspiration to write in here for a while now. It makes me wonder if this blog is obsolete. But at the same time, I don't want to throw it away, it's too valuable to yours truly.

Everything in my life is good for now, which is better than certain periods in the past. Thankfully there are no hard moments I can't get through these days without some old fashioned patience and grit. Guess someone up there is watching over me.


I'm going on a vacation in a few weeks. I'm half excited and half not, but that's normal for me. Thing is, I've always wanted to travel outside my little world, but there's always that fear of fatigue and the unknown sinking in. Getting through my occasionally mundane life gives me security most people don't fathom. But sometimes we do need to step outside our glass jars and see the world a bit, so I'm gonna try and enjoy this when it happens. After all, it does present me with an opportunity to do some shopping.


A new week and month begins tomorrow. Kids are going back to school and the traffic jams shall begin once more. Don't you just love Mondays?
