Enough Already!

GeneralI find myself becoming more and more annoyed with things that seem to occur over and over in everyday life. I’ve decided to make a list of those things and post them on here, along with a reason why I find each of these things annoying. These “Enough Already!” posts will most likely be a series of posts because there isn’t enough room to write so many things down on one blog. I’m sure the database would probably crash if I wrote down all the things that annoy me on a daily basis. Anyway, here are some that come to mind today:
Country music artists singing Christian-themed songs
I’ve noticed several country musicians have decided to sing songs that talk about their salvation. Some of these musicians have the gall to sing these songs and still come out with other songs that are about having promiscuous sex, or getting drunk. Big & Rich is the perfect example of this. They have a song called “Saved” that talks about God’s power and mercy, yet on the same album they have a song called “Save A Horse (Ride A Cowboy).” I looked up the lyrics to the Save A Horse song and it’s filled with things that God wouldn’t be pleased with. Musicians who do this are merely making a relationship with God seem like an afterthought, and are just toying around with God. I will go on to say that people who really know God wouldn’t play around with Him like this. As the Bible says “choose ye this day whom ye will serve…”
Public restrooms that use cheap toilet paper
I’ve tried many times over to figure out a logical reason for this. I’ve been unsuccessful. They put toilet paper on there that’s so thin you can see through it. I guess they think they’re saving money by doing this, but it would stand to reason that if you have such thin toilet paper, people are going to have to use more of it in order to do what they need to do. Wow, give me a freakin’ break! This toilet paper is so thin, I wouldn’t even feel comfortable wiping off the toilet seat with this toilet paper. Stop being cheap and actually go out on a limb and get decent toilet paper for your customers to use! Please!
Game shows that are so similar, they can only be distinguished by their hosts
Why is that? I know there are two shows now that have to do with singing. One is “The Singing Bee” and the other is “Don’t Forget The Lyrics”. These two shows are very similar, and I usually don’t even know which one I’m watching until I see the host. There are other shows like “1 vs. 100″ and “Deal or No Deal” that absolutely drive me crazy. They do those long dramatic pauses when the contestant has struggled with a question. Both of these shows have the same “feel” about them as “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire”. Do the people who make these shows think that we can’t possibly get enough of watching a person torture themselves about picking a case, or answering a question? Please, find something original to put on television rather than rehashing the old stuff, or stealing ideas from the UK. This slays me…
Tabloid Television Shows
I’m so tired of hearing about how badly the rich celebrities have it. There seems to be no end to the number of television shows that want to tell you about the dramatic real lives of celebrities. Who cares? These people don’t have an impact on my daily life whatsoever. And Paris Hilton… God have mercy… That woman has become a celebrity, and she hasn’t even done anything. I remember when she was arrested and people were worrying about what it would do to her career. One question: “What career?” The last time I checked, she’s only famous for making a complete fool of herself by partying all the time, acting like an idiot on a fake tv show, and videotaping herself having sex with her boyfriend. Wow, that’s some career! I’m sure going to jail will really hurt all that hard work she’s been doing. I would go so far as to say that the only thing that has made her a celebrity is Tabloid Television. So please, just go away… all of you.
People are always in a hurry
For what? Where is it that people have to be in such a hurry? I think my biggest annoyance with this is at church. You come to church for a reason, and it’s not to meet up with friends, or family. You’re there for God. So why is it that people seem so irritated if the service lasts longer than an hour? I would think people would want to stay in church as long as they can in order to hear the Word of God being preached, or to hear God being praised. And I don’t want to hear the excuse that “People get hungry around lunch time.” Eat before you come to church. Eat a good breakfast, then right before you come to Sunday School (if you even come to Sunday School) eat something that will hold you over. Plan for it! One of the benefits of the church service going over it’s schedule is that the people who got out of church earlier than you will be leaving the restaurants by the time you get there. While I’m on that subject, I’m amazed at the number of people who will zoom around me, and then cut me off just to turn into McDonald’s.
Well this is enough for this week. I had some other things I was going to put on this list, and I asked my wife to store those things in her “memory palace” (because she has a better memory than me). I’m fairly certain she stored them in her memory palace, but apparently she forgot where she put them.
