Alas, it’s been awhile since my last blog post. I’ve been busy working on a story, which I’m currently suffering writer’s block on, and haven’t paid much attention to the news or the world. Which is just as well. Since I’ve taken a brief respite from my latest fic, I’ve discovered 1) I haven’t missed much and 2) most of what’s going on out there still pisses me off.

Which makes for great blog fodder but there just isn’t enough hours in the day to write up scathing commentary about All That Annoys Me.

So I present a condensed version for y’all.

Top Ten News, Sports and Culture Items That Currently Annoy Me.

1. Michael Jackson. His doctors. The pills. The family. The kids. For crying out loud! The man is dead (but not buried yet?!?!?). Will y’all please just leave him the hell alone?!

2. Brett Farve. Please, Brett, just shut the hell up.

3. Jon and Kate. Who the *#$*%! are these people?! And should I care?

4. The Health Care Debate. Guns at town hall meetings? Shouting and disruptions? Nazi-inspired comments? And this is all over health care?!

5. Ben Bernanke Speaks, Stocks Jump 100 Points. Please, Ben, DON’T shut the hell up. Just do us all a favor and be right about what you’re saying…

6. MySpace. Facebook. Twitter. Social Networks. The Internet as a Whole. I dunno about you, but I’m overwhelmed by the internet nowadays. Facebook scared the hell out of me when I discovered all my friends from high school are on it but all they do is play games and apps. MySpace has become the same way. Twitter I can’t decipher some folks’ posts. Doesn’t anybody speak to anyone anymore? And in English?

7. H1N1 Virus. Triple E. West Nile. Bubonic Plague. Well, that’s it, we’re all gonna DIE!!

8. Global Warming. Changes in Weather. See #7

9. Cash For Clunkers. Some people are buying Hummers with this program?!?!

10. Making Home Affordable. New Truth-in-Lending Regs. New RESPA and HUD requirements. Translation: How to Make Your Banking Career A Living Hell!!

Well, folks, there you have it. Man, I’ve gotta git back to working on that story so I can shut the world out again…
