Pet Peeves - Halloween, Bad Music, John McCain and Edge Shave Gel Commercials

I partied last night and thus am home tonight. I worked for two hours, had one table and made money to get Taco Bell for a hungover dinner. Happy fucking Halloween. It always sucks because for the next couple weeks, everyone's going to be like 'Oh man! I should have been ________. Oh well, next year." And then you forget. It sucks.

Election Day is Tuesday. And if I hear one more 'McCain's old' joke, I'm going to kill someone. If he's elected president, not only is "President McCain" a phrase that invokes nightmares, but it's four years of old president jokes. Or, God fucking help us all, eight, pending he doesn't die of a stroke at age EIGHTY HELLO WHY ARE PEOPLE CONSIDERING VOTING FOR THE GERIATRIC WARD?!

My least favorite commercial ever makes me want to kick puppies. Edge Shave Gel. Please watch it and tell me you want to cover yourself up like I do.

So I've been coming up with a list of songs that I hate. Like absolutely hate. Like wow I'm leaving the room until this shit gets turned off. These are my first few. Be prepared for more.

1) Soulja Boy. Please see one of my oldest blog entries.

2) Hips Don't Lie - Shakira. I really hate Shakira. No talent. Either yodeling or hitting high notes at an ear-busting pitch. The only song I like is 'Underneath Your Clothes', for some odd reason. And she has probably the worst set of highlights I've ever seen. But this song takes the cake. You're on tonight and your hips don't lie? Really? How does that apply to anything? Her singing doesn't match the music. Horrible song. And I'm still pissed that, for the district fundraiser in tenth grade, the Spanish Club voted this CD to go in our Spanish-themed basket.

3) Werewolves of London - Warren Zevon. It being Halloween, I heard this song quite a bit. I hate this song because it sounds like a Lynyrd Skynyrd rip off in the beginning. And he does that 'Ahhh whooooo' way to much in this high pitch and it makes me want to rip my ears off.

4) Smack That - Akon. Not a huge fan of Akon. I'm convinced he's not really Jamaican or West Indian or whatever. His voice bothers me and I don't want anyone to smack that, bend over, watch me smack that NO DONT SMACK ME KTHNX.

5) Anything by Jessica Simpson. Back in the day, 1999, there were four solo teen girl artists: Britney, Christina, Mandy Moore and Jessica Simpson. She was by far my least favorite. I Wanna Love You Forever takes cheesy love songs to a new level. She's also ruined a fair amount of classics by remaking them. And she got divorced from Nick Lachey. I'm not big on celeb gossip but I was PISSED because I loved them together.

6) 'Summer Breeze' - Jason Mraz. Speaking of cover songs, Summer Breeze by Seals & Crofts is one of my favorite songs. My friend, who loves sensitive guitar guys, was like 'OMG listen to his cover.' Bad news bears. It lacks all the heart the original song has. It's blah, blah and more blah.

7) 'A Milli' - Lil Wayne. He scares the shit out of me. And this song is annoying as hell. You can't understand anything going on in the song because all you hear is 'a milli a milli a milli a milli a milli a milli a milli a milli a milli a milli a milli a milli a milli a milli a milli a milli.' Sick. Bangs loves Lil Wayne. Even sicker.
