Don't You Hate It When...

...you meet someone who's really good-looking and has a sexy accent, but they are too short? And sell drugs?

...the NYC public library tells you you're only allowed 30 items out at once? What the hell? And FYI, Ms. Librarian, you didn't have to be all loud about it and tell everyone in line my whole business!

...you sing along to "My, My, My" and realize that Johnny Gill is one ugly mo-fo so you don't want him serenading you?

...everything you eat, drink, watch, hear, read, do feels DONE? Can I get some NEW up in here?

...you have to feign interest, use your "white voice" and laugh at corny jokes JUST to secure a paycheck?

...your hair just will not cooperate, and you have to mistreat it with gel and heat and rubber bands?

...the people in your dance class forget the basic principles of proper hygiene?

...you make a rash decision in the heat of the moment and realize afterwards what a HUGE mistake it was?

...and now you have to live with that regret?

...it disgusts you that someone mistakes you for a person of a different race/nationality than you are, and you realize that you may be a racist?

...you can't seem to choose between the versions of "Skylark" sung by k.d. lang or Linda Ronstadt and almost buy them both? And then you DO buy them both?

...it's rent/mortgage week, and you have to write that big ass check that would be better spent on a trip to Rio?

...you're taking the best shower EVER and the hot water heater decides that you've had enough and it's time to get out?

...you realize the the reason you don't like someone is because they are just like you?

...Pandora keeps playing crazy techno music even after you've given the genre the thumbs down time and time again?

...it's your BFFs birthday and they're too far away to party with??

...you see someone really cute on the subway, knowing that this will probably be the only time you ever get to lay eyes on their beauty?

...the world wants to disrupt your peace n quiet?

...people want to share their cell phone conversation with everyone around them?

...your favorite TV show jumps the shark? (Tyra... I'm looking at you, girl, and YES, I am smiling with my eyes...)

...you're eating at an "authentic [insert random ethnicity here]" restaurant, and come to find a bunch of Mexicans in the kitchen?

...family leaves you hanging?

...it finally dawns on you that you will not get to do everything you've ever wanted to do before you die?

Yeah, me, too...

*smooches...just vomiting out some random shit that has been on my mind*
----------
Oooh, and I really hate it when someone tries to hit on me when I'm with my kids. DAMMIT, MAN, do you not see these babies here calling me Mommy? Can you PLEASE back the fuck up?

Wah ha ha ha! And I thought I was the only one. Tyra is so out there this season. I mean, there's emoting and then there's downright acting like a ham and she can't seem to say one straight sentence any more. I'm disappointed. Wednesday night is the night for my sister and I to have our date night Models night.

Soooo very glad that nervous little French chic is off the show.

chin up girlie.. that one in green made me sad... you are going to be able to do what you want to do before you die... just gotta wait to the kiddies turn 18 and get out of the house..lol

well you could get the cutie on the subway's number..lol

what I hate is that "too late" feeling...coming to terms with the fact that I can't go back and do what I wanted to do in the first place...I guess I have to choose something new and then do THAT before I die...?

You not into short drug dealers? Who knew?

How can you have 30 items out at once? You can't possibly read all that crap at the same time.

JACK said...

Yuh - sorry super dave ... Jaded's not interested in you. :-(

And Jaded - I'm sensing some "directas muy indirectas" finger pointing here ... I'm jus sayin .....

@kelly- ANTMs demise is pure sadness to me because I LOVE that show. But not only is this year's crop of wannabe models completely EH, but Tyra & Co are just putting too much on it with the drama. I'm officially done!

@eb- really, drug dealers should just not be allowed to be sexy. it should just be a rule.

I keep waiting for these girls to turn 18 but they're taking their sweet ass time... damn moochers...

@a.j. brown- that "too late" feeling is the WORST! It's like, "Thanks, brain, for reminding me that I'm a loser" but how can you blame your subconscious for stuff you neglected to do earlier in life?!?! ugh...

@super dave- you know something about the fact that they carry weapons and would pull a Nino Brown on me to keep from being shot... yeah, not attractive...

and WHAT? you work for the library now??? I can TOO have 30 items out at once!!! HMPH!

@jack- HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOVEY-DOVE!!!!! I WISH YOU WERE HERE... MY LIVER MISSES YOU (NOT)!!!

JACK said...

I'm sorry - did I say directas muy INdirectas? That was a typo ...

Anonymous said...

wait a minute.

The library allows 30 books to a single person ?


Happy birthday to Jack

The Jaded NYer said...

@jack- are you starting with me? because I'm still holding your newspapers for ransom...

@dipsetjam- IN MY DEFENSE... it was only 15-20 books; the rest were CDs and DVDs. jeez...

12kyle said...

clnmike said...
