Grumpy? Old? You Bet!

And I have a list...

As we grow older most of us get a little grumpy about a lot of things.  I think that's healthy.  After all, it simply shows that you've been paying attention.

When guys get to the point in life where our prostate exceeds the size of our ego it sort of puts things in perspective.  We know what we like and we know what pisses us off.


Here are a few things that I can do without:

Bald guys with ponytails
The IRS
The Federal Government
State and Local Government
Baseball's designated hitter
Newt Gingrich (Shut up fatso!)
Oprah (See above)
Local TV news (Insipid)
National TV news (Infantile)
White guys talking black (Zip it "Bro'")
Cell phones (even though I have one)
Women (and it's always women) who drive 55 on surface streets and 55 on the freeway (maybe just a California thing...guys know that it's 45 on surface streets and 95 freeway))
Stephen Colbert (a one note samba...yeah, we get it, you're sarcastic)
Prius (who says hybrids have to be butt ugly?)
People who use "what not" as a collective noun
Bill Maher (one snotty SOB)
Rap music (please, no one can really think it's anything but crap)
Reality TV
Vegetarians
People who say "awesome" an awesome amount of the time
Those restroom paper towel dispensers you have to wave at to dry your hands.  BAD engineering!
Airports, airlines, air travel, the TSA
Linda yelling at me for yelling at the news on TV
Realizing that my list of dislikes could go on for a couple of hundred more pages


Oops, I am nearly out of time and space.  The news is about to come on and I've got some serious yelling to do.

To be continued...
