I hate nationalism, national identity, identity/labeling in general, the medicalization of every aspect of the human condition/society, and potato salad.

I absolutely loathe facebook, and people who think they know what is best for everyone else.


Heartily agree with this LOLClap

Humor has nothing to do with it.  I am boring.

Gold. I hate how cheap it looks.
Many more things that I will think so in the next minutes.
Oh, cars. I need a decent one to drive, that's it.

Is NASCAR really a sport?
By the way, I do like to do put put but that's more of a game than a sport.  I've always thought of sports being where people compete physically.

I'm kind of like the aliens in Mars Attacks! when I hear country music my head explodes.

You can't cite country music.  If country music is not music then it is not music is it not?

I may have played to video games when I was younger, but I wouldn't care for it enough to read magazines and books. In fact, the most recent VG I played was... Er, Baldur's Gates? Age of Empires II?

I must also confess not to be really interested into sport. I only care for the actitivies of a few friends, but that's the end of my limits.

Oh, and TV shows about cooking, decorating, and these obscene French reality-shows which seem to be big hits.

I'd like to think I don't have a reputation for being a big enough ass to criticize someone's consumption preferences, especially responsible ones.
