Airing of Grievances 2010

by Mike Nguyen posted 24 Dec ’10 category Personal Stuff

Now is a good of time of any to share my built-up grudges and disappointments in the world and people around me. Happy Festivus, everyone!

  1. I turned 25 two weeks ago. That’s a pretty big deal. If you didn’t send me a text, IM, or Facebook wall post wishing me a Happy Birthday, I sort of have beef with you. You’ve been putting up with me for a quarter century now, you should know better.
  2. Speaking of which, I’m unjustifiably angry my quarter life crisis happened at 24.
  3. I still resent any friend who tell me New Haven is too far to come visit (ie. All my friends).
  4. Why is it taking me so long to finish blogging about Australia? I’ve already been to Ecuador…
  5. And on that point, why is everything in the US so expensive compared to Ecuador? I could get a three course dinner for $5 down there.
  6. Gas, auto loans, auto insurance, parking…anything car related that costs me money each month…IhateyouIhateyouIhateyou. And a big boo to my workplace for not being located next to a train station so I can get rid of these car related expenses.
  7. Kailey, please stop itching and licking yourself. Your skin allergies cost me too much in vet bills. You were cuter when you weren’t so expensive.
  8. I haven’t been to a Popeye’s or Sonic in about 6 months. And that upsets me greatly.
  9. Sketchy New Haven people, you kind of ruin the ambiance of this wonderful city and make me fear for my life whenever I walk downtown. This has lately forced me to use my car. And if you’re unsure why this upsets me, go back and reread 6.
  10. My room, it is still an ugly duckling where there is such amazing potential. If only I could afford nice things to spruce it up.
  11. And one extra to man it up. Year in and year out, no one even considers inviting me to join their fantasy football league. And then I spend all of football season sitting and staring at the ceiling while you a-holes talk fantasy at the dinner table, in the office, at happy hours and parties…basically 24/7. I WATCH SPORTS DAMNIT! And I would kick your ass in Fantasy Football/Hockey/whatever the hell sport you want if you actually let me play. Except baseball. I have no understanding of baseball, except I root for the Red Sox blindly. I hope you all lose terribly to some anonymous Yahoo! user.

Wow, that actually felt good to get out of my system. Hopefully this avoids a random fit of rage at Christmas dinner with the family, but who am I really kidding?
