I DON’T LIKE…
Mountain Dew.
People who drive slow in the fast lane.
Nickelback (or is it Nickleback? Anyhow, I’m referring to the music group, not the flip side of a 5-cent coin).
Going against this guy…
and the 1980’s Celtics (I pulled for the Lakers,as I described in this blog).
People do a ‘reply all’ to a group text when they are only replying to the sender.
Weeds in flower beds.
Peeps (as in the Easter snack, not the slang term for people).
Waking up at 4:03 am and not being able to get back to sleep.
‘Whatever’ (as in the disrepectful answer to a question).
DVR’ing a game, avoiding the score all day, and then inavertently reading a text that gives it away.
Boston fans.
Students that walk in my room and ask “Do we have a test today?” when we have a test today.
The sound of a vacuum cleaner.
The length of college football games (At about 4 hours, it’s like watching a Lord of the Rings movie).
Cold football/baseball practices.
When my beautiful, wonderful daughter says “That’s not fair!” when I ask her to do a chore.
Reality shows that make celebrities out of people who don’t really do anything to deserve being a celebrity (Jersey Shore, Kardashians, Real Housewives of Wherever,…
1980’s Hoover Viking football teams (I was a Louisville Leopard back then).
Lying (as in fibbing. I love l lying down on the couch!!)
Kids being addicted to technology.
How the spread offense has changed high school & college football. Remember good old physical football games? Remember when fans would get really excited over a 10-yard gain? Remember when running for 150 yards or passing for 300 yards was a huge achievement? Remember when a 35-31 score would be a shoot-out? That’s a college early 3rd quarter score now.
When satellite reception goes out on my TV.
Golf holes with out-of-bounds stakes.
That we wasted a 1st round pick on this guy…
*SIDE NOTE: my buddy, Todd, challenged me this week to creatively incorporate this pic into every blog. I am 1-for-1, T!
When my wonderful, intelligent son says “Oh my gosh” when I ask him to do a chore.
When the remote control batteries are low.
Bananas.
Needing a quick nap, but not being able to take a quick nap.
3-foot putts.
When my dog heads to the neighbor’s yard to do his business. Where’s my sandals? Where’s the scooper?
That guy in open gym that shoots all day, but doesn’t play any defense.
I GREATLY, IMMENSELY DISLIKE…
Pulling weeds. Expecially those small ones that are hard to pull out.
My mom vacuuming at 6 am when I was a kid.
Paying an extra $30 to have this logo on something…
Going against John Elway.
Waking up at 2:03 am and not being able to get back to sleep.
This movie that I blogged about…
Lying, and then continually lying about that lie to the point that you are offended that I accused you of lying, even though you and I both know you are lying.
The team salary imbalance of Major League Baseball.
Golf holes with out-of-bounds stakes on both sides of the fairway.
Reality shows that glorify selfishness/materialism.
Cold and rainy practices.
When my wonderful, adorable children ignore me when I ask them to do a chore.
Lord of The Rings movies. While watching the last one with my wife at home, I remember yelling, “Just throw the ring in a volcano and get it over with!” My wife gave me an irritated look. 30 minutes later, she yelled the same thing.
Not being able to find the remote control.
Forgetting passwords on websites that you don’t go very often, and then when you get to the point of re-entering a new password, it won’t let you use any of your old passwords because you already used them, so you have to come up with a new password that you know you will forget and start this vicious cycle again…
Going against this guy…
The New York/Boston sports hype.
When my kids leave batteries laying out. (or is it lying out?). Are they old, dead batteries or new, unused ones?
My dad making 8000 flower beds for me (& my siblings) to weed.
No hot water left in the shower.

Jerome Harrison.

Mike Tomlin.
Santonio Holmes.
Mean Joe Greene.
Bubby Brister.
Well, maybe not so much Bubby Brister.
Jerome Bettis.
That big bearded guy that plays defensive line.
These people…
And these people…
And these people I see at Wal-Mart…
Maybe not so much this person…
I hate that I see these people all over Tuscarawas & Stark County wearing their Black and Yellow gear and smarmy winning smiles and getting spoiled by all of those wins and winter play-off games and Hall of Fame players and Super Bowls!!!
So Browns, how about winning this time to give me a little peace, love, joy, and happiness?
And at least a little bit of bragging rights the next time I see this guy…
Go BROWNS!!!
