The thought of blogging about something I couldn&#8217;t comprehend didn&#8217;t cross my mind. But, now that&#8217;s over and I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;re feeling ripped off so to try to make it up to you I&#8217;m going to take a look back at all those things I didn&#8217;t like between July and December of 2011.<\/p>\n<p>I started off with Security Lines. I haven&#8217;t had to fly since the trip that inspired the initial WIDLM, but I imagine I still don&#8217;t like them. I know I don&#8217;t like them in concept. Those guys are trying to get the right to arrest people now&#8230; \/rolls eyes.<\/p>\n<p>Next was WordPress&#8230; but my issue with them they fixed&#8230; so never mind that. \ud83d\ude42 Then the anti-rangers, which is people who are inconsiderate of nature, especially at national parks. They are forever a problem, but at least now I don&#8217;t have to watch them in action.<\/p>\n<p>After that I complained about commercials. I think there was a specific one that was bugging me from Arby&#8217;s or something, but man I hate commercials. Every time I see them I hate them more. I hated them when I was young, and I hate them 10x as much now. Commercials are strange in that the less I see them, the more I hate them. I guess I can&#8217;t maintain that level of hate, so I get numb to it in cases of constant exposure. Anyway, die commericals, die.<\/p>\n<p>Then I waxed philosophically about the unnecessary letter Q, and the unnecessary mammals dogs. Then how being sick while unemployed has no silver lining. After that I wrote about the dual monitor cursor glitch I was experiencing, which I since resolved. Another off the list.<\/p>\n<p>After that I wrote about reality TV. That was after Pat&#8217;s bachelor party. Man I hate reality TV. Basically anything I said about commercials can be said for reality TV, except at least commercials occasionally fund worthwhile entertainment. Way to ruin that reality TV.<\/p>\n<p>Then I moaned about Miro, which I have since uninstalled, so that problem is sorta gone. \ud83d\ude1b Cleaning, in it utter futility, I cried about after that. Then dancing&#8230; it it&#8217;s utter uselessness.<\/p>\n<p>The next was corner cutting, which was a bit self reflective&#8230; a bit self critical. A rarity. I haven&#8217;t noticed much corner cutting in my life recently, but perhaps I&#8217;ve just not had many opportunities. Maybe the post helped me better myself.<\/p>\n<p>I got a jump on complaining about the holidays and ranted about people who diminish the importance of Thanksgiving by moving on to Christmas too quickly. I poke you guys in the eye. Then I complained about the rich&#8230; oh, I remember now. Really I was not liking when people are too wealthy to feel societal penalties&#8230; like parking tickets or fraud charges.<\/p>\n<p>The next one was fad diets, which I don&#8217;t like because they prey on the desperate and confuse the public for the purpose of making money. This rant went a little of script and turned into my own diet advice piece, so that&#8217;s noteworthy.<\/p>\n<p>I took on the education system next and tackled grades. Then the post office and snail mail. Down with ancient government institutions!<\/p>\n<p>After that I mentioned that I don&#8217;t like aging. I hope we cure that soon. My next complaint was a little simpler, my computer chair. Mother made me a cushion for Christmas, so that&#8217;s another problem from the list that has been solved.<\/p>\n<p>My most recent two were lag and lines. Two of the most troublesome problems of the modern first world. Roughly 90% of all sadness can be traced to those two things. I suspect they will plague us for years to come, but I haven&#8217;t felt their sting lately, so that&#8217;s good.<\/p>\n<p>Well, there you have it. 6 months (almost) of what I don&#8217;t like. Keep them in mind and try to make my life better. Looking over the list I can tell it is far from definitive, so I will try to keep you updated in this, the year 2012.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I missed a few weeks of WIDLM over the holiday season because everything was so perfect I didn&#8217;t even understand the concept of not liking things.
