Hello! I have been shooting people with Canons since 2007. I'm a closet optimist and romantic with a dry wit and a silver tongue. I love strong coffee and dark chocolate, and enjoy a slow-paced life with my human and furry BFF's. Welcome to my little site!

The Winter of My Discontent

I tried the overly optimistic route, you know, being really thankful for stuff in order to wean the blues. I think it helped a lot. But I'm also curious what the alternative route will bring. I obsessively read Ramit's bitter rants yesterday and I'm truly inspired. My rants... enjoy!
  • People who try to run me off the road with their cars. Wait, you're telling me you're not trying to run me off the road? THEN WHY DO YOU INSIST ON DRIVING LIKE THAT!?!
  • Men who are emotionally withholding by nature.
  • Women who genuinely believe that their good looks did not help them get where they are. You're delusional.
  • Men who genuinely believe that women got where they are only because of their good looks. You're just jealous. And bitter.
  • Cliques.
  • Lunch that costs more than $10.
  • People who insist on being the center of attention even though they have zero personality and nothing interesting to contribute.
  • "Nice guys" who think that women only like to date jerks. It's not true. We just don't want to date you. Why? 'Cause you're a jerk. A bitter one at that.
  • Coming up with a really, truly awesome and witty comeback the day after. D'oh!
  • People who complain about their job but don't do anything about it.
  • Or worse, people who want to quit but are scared of the poor economy.
  • Bitter foods. Why? Really, why?
  • Movies that cost a lot of money to make and suck. One word: Troy.
  • When I commit stupid grammatical or typographical errors in emails. So embarrassing.
  • Browser incompatibility. Webmasters: WORK HARDER so I don't have to use the "IE Tab" functionality in Firefox. Thanks.
  • Homeowners who think their 3-bed, 2-bath, 1500-square-foot home from the 1960's is now worth $900,000 because they replaced the roof.
  • Government bailouts. Stop wasting my money. Actually, I hate government spending waste in general.
  • War. What is it good for? Absolutely nothing. Except to ensure we spread "freedom" and "democracy" around the world.
  • Getting exercise tips from out-of-shape people. I'll take my chances, thank you very much.
  • People who gladly trade excitement for a safe and comfortable life.
  • Asian-American actors who have to fake a bad stereotypical Asian accent for a role. It's annoyingly insulting / insultingly annoying.
  • People who gripe extensively about getting older. Dude, EVERYBODY is getting older. Not much you can do it. Enjoy the moment; seize the day.
  • The whole Jennifer Anniston / Brad Pitt / Angelina Jolie drama. Get over it. Please.
  • People who think my big, fancy camera is the reason why my photos look nice. No, that's not the reason why, dork. My photos look nice because of my big, fancy lenses!
  • Men with fancy sports cars. Who drive like a grandma in a Toyota Corolla. Just 'cause you have a nice car doesn't mean you know how to drive.
  • Fanatics. Apple fanatics are annoying. Sports fanatics are scary. Religious fanatics are really, really scary.
OK, that's all I have for now. What do you have to gripe about? Feel free to comment. It's fun, I promise! (:
