Matthew I am....like it or not

I have problems. Who doesn't? I have some serious problems.

For example, certain words make me mad. Not swear words (although those are tacky too), but just certain words. Let's take "agreiance". I believe the proper word is "agreement". When I hear people use this word, it makes me really mad.

Certain people make me mad. Have these people ever done anything to me? No. But the fact of who they are and what they're all about makes me mad. I know that I should clearly be seeing someone in the mental health profession, but I'm not. I just get irritated over the stupidest things.

So, for all my blog peeps, I have compiled a list of things I hate. I will soon create one of things I love, so keep coming back. Here we go.....

Things I HATE:

3. people who think they can sing really really well but can't
4. old school mentality at work
5. resistance to change
6. parents who don't discipline
7. children who don't listen
8. people who don't think before they act

13. backstabbers
