Top 5 Friday

I basically choose to make a "Top X" any day of the week I feel is convenient. And because I tend to get lazy, I also make the decision on how many "units" the list will contain. Today's list will consist of five. After living in Hilo, Hawaii for three and a half months, I can't understand how people don't become utterly depressed. It rains here non-stop and the sun rarely sees through the clouds. Because mother nature is a drunken witch, my attitude towards a lot of things has slowly began to drip into the cracks of negativity (Look out E. A. Poe). For this, I introduce you to Top 5 Friday where I will digest the half-empty glass of the things I hate the most this week.

1. "I know, right?"
Really? Did you just say that? I will say it now that this is the most overused phrase in the English language. Here is an example: Person #1 "This rain is getting annoying!" Person #2 "I know, right?" After I make a statement, I don't need you to ask me for confirmation that I agree with you. A simple "I know" will do. It doesn't make you sound witty, all it does is make you sound like you can't think of anything else to say.

2. Besties
If I am your best friend, at no point in our friendship shall you refer to me as your "bestie." This term is way too vague. Does "bestie" mean that I am your best slave? I really don't know. So, to avoid and unnecessary confusion, please refrain from using this stale, banal word.

3. The way Hawaiians talk
I am practically emerced in Hawaiian "pidgeon." I have no problems with Hawaiians in general, they happen to be very nice people. I just really hate their dialect. "Hey brah, you're going to the dakine, the store? Get me tree eggs, yah?" Wtf? Yes, I can clearly see what you are in need of, but why must you speak this way? You are Americans now, act like it.

4. This guy..
I have no comment for this guy (click the link). Actually I have a lot, but he doesn't deserve the energy it takes to voice my opinion.

5. Posting pictures of you kissing your loved one online
I want to see this just about as much as I want to pull off Robin William's dingleberries. If I want to see this, I will simple come to your home and ask to see it in person. Just by knowing that you are in a relationship, I can assume that you and your significant other make lip-to-lip contact. I don't need any visual evidence.

Mahalo! Now go out and apply what you have learned today.
