Introducing Things I Love / Things I Hate

My blog is very unfocused, hence the title Word Vomit. I like it that way, because I get bored of doing the same things all the time, so I'm sure to get bored of writing about the same things all the time too. But sometimes I find that having TOO many choices of things to write about is overwhelming, so I end up writing nothing at all. (Also, that's really just an excuse for not updating more frequently. As you should know by now, I'm a bit lazy.)

I figure a happy medium is coming up with a few "theme" type entries that I can default to when I can't decide what else to write about. For example, so far "things I read on cnn.com" seems to have yielded a lot of subject matter. I also like to make lists, but that entry about the five products that have changed my life took something like three hours to write. From now on, lists will comprise only two items: something I love and something I hate. I'm an equal-opportunity product pusher/slammer. Today's Thing I Love and Thing I Hate were both brought into my life by Tron. So I guess that means I have to love him and hate him too.

Today I love dark-chocolate-dipped Altoids. First of all, because dark chocolate is the best of all the chocolates (that's what she said). But also because technically it's a breath-freshening device first and a candy second. So if I eat a whole tin in one day, maybe I'm not being a greedy little chocolate lover. Maybe I am just trying to cure a really bad case of halitosis, so get off my back already! These Altoids come in Cinnamon and Peppermint flavors, which are both delicious, and also Ginger, which I'm terrified to try.

Today I hate Brett Favre. Not nearly as much as I hate all the Browns, all the Bengals, and Terrell Owens, but I still hate him. Brett, please listen to me. I don't WANT to hate you. But you need to stop fake retiring. I want to remember you as a great legend who set a bunch of quarterback records, and who also seems down to earth enough that I want to be your friend. However, I have a short attention span. If you keep this up, all my good memories will fade and I'm only going to remember you as that indecisive drama queen who came back for one more season and failed to take some team that's not the Packers to the playoffs.

Tune in next time...I love and hate a lot of things, and since I'm always right, you need to follow along to know what you should also be loving and hating.
