#7: People Who Use Other Beliefs to Support Their Own

You know why they are called your beliefs....BECAUSE THEY ARE YOUR BELIEFS! Quit trying to take what other people believe and try and make it support what you say and not actually be what the other person believes.

In certain cases where things are common beliefs, it is okay. However, the crazy guy who is now using some Mayan belief strtucture about the end of the world (which by the way he probably didn't even know about until the yahoo read a Yahoo News article) to support his own hair brained idea that the world is going to end, you have gone too far. Or the guy who suddenly believes every Nostradamus prediction would certainly be the truth now and that the town of York will be the start of the end, leave me alone.

FInally, this is my favorite. The guy who all of a sudden flips an argument using your own arguments to say that they agree with you, that guy is awful. If that was your argument in the first place, please make that your argument. Don;t switch up halfway through on the fear that you will be wrong. If this is what you believe, that is your right to hold that as your belief. Don't switch to pacify the rest of the world.

That is my issue. If you have valid arguments on an open ended question...keep them. Don't switch sides because other people tell you you are wrong, but don't use other people's arguments to prove yourself right and invalidate their points.

#6: Doomsday Movies

Could there be any more of an overplayed movie genre than the Doomsday, end of the world flick? We get it, it's fun to figure out a cool way for you to blow up some random supermodel actress. However, after the one hundredth and tenth supermodel actress to die, I don't cary anymore (and no I do not feel like Phil Collins, which we will get to in the next couple days in the blog).

This has become a top of mind issue of the things that make me angry in that Decmeber 21st, 2012 is the next day that the crazies in the world have predicted for things to end.

1. First off, stop telling me the world is coming to an end. If it ends, it ends. There's not anything any of us can do about it, so quit freaking out.
2. Secondly, the Mayans have predictions all the way into the 32nd century. Why would they have predictions into a century one thousand years in the future if they felt the world was going to end in two years.
3. Thridly, their calendar has ended in the past and guess what they did then...they put up a new one. It's kind of like New Year's Day for us. The old kitty calendar has run out of days...time to put the puppy calendar up except their calendar is much larger and chiseled into stones and things.
4. Finally, why in the world would any of the people designing this supposed ticking timebomb to doomsday calendar for more than two thousand years. THEY WOULDN"T BE ALIVE WHEN THEY NEEDED TO CHANGE TO THE NEW ONE!!!!

Leave me alone with all of this nonsense. I don't need an end of the world movie every two months to remind me that there are crazy people all over this world. Just let the non crazies live their lives without some dude in a rainbow wig and a sign telling me I am about to die (which I will get to that guy next).

#5: Ed Hardy

"It's not a brand, it's a lifestyle." You gotta be kidding me. It's a t-shirt. I have about forty of them at home. And guess what, not a single one of them has the logo of some no account brand that two years ago didn't mean anything to anyone but now has more meaning and cost attached to it than the cost of groceries for a family of four for a week.

Don't get me wrong. I am not simply picking on Ed Hardy. It is all of these t-shirt brands that have been brought to the forefront. Your Tapouts, Afflictions, and going way back - Member's Mark Jackets. Please define for me a purpose. In any case, people are spending more money than they have sense on a shirt that has no meaning whatsoever.

#4 Dancin' in the Streets

Is there any song in this world that deserves a cover less than this song. It is pretty much just shouting the same four or five lyrics over and over again until by the end of it a person never wants to dance again...ever. But, no this is the song that everyone in the world wants to cover.

There are more than 20 covers of this song since Martha and the Vandellas first released this in 1963. However, the most irrelevant cover of this song occured in 1985. That is when Mick Jagger and David Bowie decided to come together and make the most awkward and irrelevant of a cover I've ever heard.

In all of its awkward glory (awkward in that Mick Jagger and David Bowie are dirty dancing with each other which takes this cover to a whole new plane of awkwardness), here it is: Click Here!
