Mass Texts/BBMs: Please leave the text messages and BBMs that you send to 16 people at a time to email. It makes it easier to ignore/delete. There's absolutely no reason for you to send me a chain letter over text message. For one thing, only fools believe that if "you don't send this to nine people, your boobs will fall off" and for another, no one has the time to waste on such stupidity. End it.
Ballers at da club: Guys, just because you get a bottle at Club Sweat, you're not cool. Moreover, if there are 12 of you splitting one bottle, you are really, really not cool. Buying bottles is sooooo '07. In 2011, you're cool if you buy out the whole VIP section. Remember that.
Skinny Jeans: Still on the list here, as with previous years. While I'm a little more into skinny jeans on some people, I believe that jeggings should be banned, first and foremost. More importantly, I think that people should be required to show ID when purchasing skinny jeans. Anyone over the age of like 50 and above a size 6 should not purchase skinny jeans. I say this because my mom is 51 and a size 4. That woman can pull of anything. But, the woman I saw at the supermarket last week, who was about 55 and a size 14 should NOT - I repeat NOT be wearing skinny jeans. Emphasis on SKINNY here, people. In any event, this will probably be a moot issue, since I believe that 2011 will bring back the boot cut/flared style. That's my fashion prediction.
Facebook Comments: Mark Zuckerberg, this one is in your court. Can you please make it an option for people NOT to be notified of comments made after I already commented and/or "liked" a status? People really get annoyed and frustrated with the constant "ding" notifications on their phones - especially when it's not for them - but just another comment on something they've already commented on. It decreases users' desire to leave comments and/or "likes" and completely defeats the purpose of your creation by discouraging conversation.
Blackberry Messenger: You don't need to be a stalker-genius to understand what the "D" and "R" mean on Blackberry Messenger (BBM). If you see a "D" next to your message, it was delivered, and until you see an "R", your message hasn't been read. Well guess what? You don't have to be Stephen Hawking to know when someone is purposely ignoring your BBM by just not reading it and therefore keeping the "D" as such. People with BBM know what I'm talking about here. If it was delivered, it's there. You have the option to read it. Choosing to ignore it is your own prerogative, but it's obvious and you just look like an asshole.
Reality TV: While I will NEVER be over reality TV (it's my favorite genre!) I am completely perplexed by "Bridalplasty". I mean, like, really perplexed. I'm all for extreme makeover-type shows, but COMPETING for plastic surgery for your WEDDING DAY is just beyond. Like, there needs to be a completely new set of adjectives made up to describe how I feel about this show being on the air.
Ke$ha: I'm not sure why this chick made such an impact on the charts in 2010. Her songs are quite annoying, she doesn't have a good "look", she's unattractive and she can't sing. Now, while Willow Smith is cute and all, the fact that her song is about whipping her hair back and forth and is also on the top of the charts, makes absolutely no sense to me. None. Justin Bieber is also on this list. I complain about him on a daily basis, so no need to trash him specially in this post. He sucks. Period.
Stupid Sayings: Two years ago, I was over the saying "fair enough". This year, I'm over "to tell you the truth" and "you know what I mean." If you're talking to me, I would hope you're telling me the truth - in that, what you're saying is an actual fact. I mean, how else are we to have a normal conversation? And, if I don't know what you mean, I'll ask you. You don't need to make sure I understand what you're saying by testing my competency level, k?
Progressive Car Insurance commercials: That girl - those skits - the white heavens-gate-type background - the stupid script - the pointless punch-lines....Progressive commercials are god-awful. Moreover, I literally had to Google the insurance company name because obviously their messaging sucks so bad, I couldn't even remember who they were. Progressive, you're not as cool and as clever as Geico - and the old man who says shit like "Bop skippidy doo wee!" is not cute and adorable. It's creepy and weird.
Side note: LOVE Google's "GMMXLE" 2011 logo! 
Being Real: On a personal note, 2010 was a great year for me. I feel blessed with finding True Love and in turn, having my life completely change for the better in a very short amount of time. In the same breath, I realize there have been hardships and struggles as well as joys and happiness for friends and family surrounding me. Through all of these times, I strived to be loyal, caring, supportive and truly emotive to each and every person. There were actions and reactions that gave me insight and realization to things that I never really thought about before. If anything, I feel like everything that's happened to me in 2010 has changed me for the better, put things into perspective and overall just made me see things in a different way - a more mature and familial way. In 2011, I want to surround myself with people and family who showcase that same truth. That same "real" - if you will. I'm no longer interested in playing the kinds of games that would give high-schoolers a rush. I'm over it. A quote I heard this year has stuck with me: Those who are true friends and family, will be genuine in good times and in bad. If they are not genuine, then they are not your true friends and family.
So with that - let's toast to all the douchebags.... sike --
A toast for a happy, healthy and very prosperous 2011 for everyone!
And finally, what are YOU Over and Done [with] in One-One??
I hate when people honk their horn for 20 seconds. Just honk once, I get it.
ReplyDeleteCool - thanks!
ReplyDeleteGreat post! I actually hate those Geico commercials because I they lack consistency. While they are certainly comical, they're all over the place.
ReplyDeleteI'm also over people's fake bullshit.
