My pet peeves

Dear faithful readers,
After receiving lots and lots of complaints about not having posted anything in a long time, I am back again.
After sleepless nights of creative constipation, I've come up with something to keep my readers alive and going.
Readers, it's time for me to open up to you. It's time to talk about my pet peeves.

People pet peeves:

• People who don't wash their hands.
• People who think they are intellectuals, but are not.
• People who don't shut up in class.
• People who turn around and shut other people up in class (bastard).
• People who wear shirts or other clothing articles with the labels sticking out.
• Cab drivers.
• That ventriloquist guy who everybody finds "funny".
• People with politically correct humor.
• Pseudo-leftists. Okay, leftists.
• Rightists.
• People who need to define their political stance. And God forbid, it shouldn't be leftist.
• Corporations (legally speaking, they are considered "people").
• Stupid people and dumb airheads.

This is just a small list. My dear readers, what are your pet peeves? Send in your contributions.

My First Time: How I Did My Blog

So there I was, looking through the screen as I experienced an epiphany. What is this thing? It was the first time that I realized what an amazing thing blogs are. I automatically thought to myself: I should get one of those, preferably before Christmas.

So I thought about it for a while, about what my blog would be about and how often would I be able (i.e. be in the mood) to write. The thinking process took a while, but there is no need to doubt my thinking abilities.

Having crossed over to the other side, I decided to report from there. And now you are more than welcome to join me there. I mean here.

Now, all I got to do is rid myself of laziness and actually post stuff.

Enjoy.
