For someone who writes a weekly post called I Hate Monday – and for the record, I have nothing at all against Mondays – it’s rather ironic that I hate hate. This is no sudden or recent realization; I’ve been this way for some time. I simply appropriated a common phrase (“I hate Monday”) as the label under which I …
I Hate Monday
Today being Memorial Day reminds me of how contemptible war is. Every war ever fought is a war that should never have been fought. “So you would just let Hitler go his merry way unchecked?” No, I’m saying there never should have been an Adolph Hitler in the first place. How do psychopaths, murderers and megalomaniacs get to be leaders …
I Hate Monday, The Tuesday Edition
With so many unloveable things, situations, traits, and so on to choose from, sometimes it takes me awhile to pick one. So what do I hate today? Invoking God. Not always. But yes, sometimes. Many times, in fact. Don’t assume from this post that I’m not a man of faith. I am. Even so, about half the time someone invokes …
I Hate Monday
Today, I’d like to expound on one of my most fervent hatreds, my contempt for terrorists. It’s a topic for today in particular, since the 118th running of the Boston Marathon, held annually since 1897 on the 3rd Monday in April, takes place today. Last year, of course, was marred by two bombs which killed three people, including 8-year-old Martin …
I Hate Monday
And I hate even more when I get off schedule. But if you promise not to sue me, I’ll post this I Hate Monday a day late. And anyway, I’m sure it’s still Monday somewhere. Today, I would like to know what’s the deal with drivers who feel compelled to apply their brakes going down hills, even slight inclines. Let’s …
I Hate Monday
Twice a month in my role as World’s Oldest Paperboy I visit literally hundreds of doctors offices over the course of two days. And twice a month I see dozens of people sitting in cars with the engine running as they wait for someone inside. Before you tell me what a cold winter we’ve had this spring, let me cut …
I Hate Monday
I hate it when my typewriter goes on the blink and won’t write good sentences – or even come up with good ideas. Maybe I need a new ribbon. . .
I HATE MONDAY
Know what I really hate? LOSING STUFF! What a huge waste of time. And there’s always that feeling of the complete idiocy of it all, especially if you’re constantly losing things, or the same things – like keys – over and over. Add in the constant self-recrimination factor – “What an idiot I am!” – and it gets even worse. …
I Hate Monday
Sure, it happens to be Tuesday at this moment. But there are still hate-worthy things out there. One hateable topic on my mind today is price-gouging. In this corner of the world we have just endured a crippling snow storm, followed by an ice storm that was even worse, and then to top it all off, an earthquake. After the …
I Hate Monday
It’s true. I would not lie to you. There really are flashing lights that drivers can activate. They’re called turn signals. Seriously! What if I told you that you can use them to alert other drivers to your intentions? That is also true. You see, sometimes another driver coming from the opposite direction will be waiting to make a left …
