The Short List
1) I'm addicted to instant oatmeal. Original flavor. Add a pat of butter and a packet of Splenda and I'm in heaven.
2) I can't decide if the president of the company I am currently contracting with is a) devoid of personality or b)is just really a prick or c) is a prick who is devoid of personality.
3) I despise the term African American. Just because the color of one's skin is black or brown and his or her ancestors were indigenous to Africa does not necessarily make them a) African or b) American. I know plenty of black folks who really are Africans living in the United States though they are not American citizens, and likewise, I know plenty of black folks who are neither African nor American but are tagged as "African Americans" based on something as superficial as the pigmentation of their skin. Coincidentally, I've known more people that are "white" who technically are "African Americans" - that is, African emigrants who are now American citizens - and I'm talking blonde-haired-blue-eyed white people who were actually born and raised in the motherland.
Political correctness is such a joke.
4) Dear god, please give me the strength to stop indulging certain annoying people before I lose control and scream, "Shut the fuck up, cry baby!" I swear I'm not a masochist. Sometimes I'm just too nice.
