Over the preceding months, I've had a lot of time to think about my future, what I want to achieve and accomplish.

I wasted it.

So here are the fruits of my mental labour, a list of the things that really irritate me to no end, a list which is by no means complete.

Having "metalheads" at school give me an incredulous look when I told them I had never heard of Pantera:

I can't be expected to know everything. Nobody should be.

Having any of my "cultural heritage" shoved in front of me:

I get it. I'm Asian. Who cares. And I feel nothing short of sympathy for anyone who's expected by their parents to practically make love to their "cultural heritage". IT'S NOT THAT BIG A DEAL. Freaking hell.

American Republicans who think Democrats are stupid, and Democrats who think the same back:

Since when did who you vote for make you any less of a person?

Stupid People:

By this, I mean people who suffer from an ego the size of Lake Taupo, attempt to assert their authority on people four years older than them in high school, believe babies should be raised in prison with their convicted mothers for the first two years of their life (I'm not joking), talk trash on a constant basis or convince themselves they can sing before Simon Cowell rips them apart.

Power Rangers Turbo:

Their first mistake was replacing Rocky with the kid Justin. Their second mistake was getting rid of Jason David Frank.

*inhale*

Porn trailer videos on YouTube:

They're the reason my dad decided to blacklist YouTube and all media streaming, but that's okay, I've been proxying those bad boys for a few months now. Still, why do those porn producers and distributors or whoever do that? Are they not turned off enough by YouTube's no-nudity policy? Why must they peddle their smut EVERYWHERE they feel like it? NOTE: No, by 'bad boys', I mean YouTube and media streaming, NOT porn. Just to be clear.

Guys who truly see girls as nothing but "spankmeat":

You're half the reason I've never had a chance with girls and I'm sure as hell not turning to guys.

Nationalism:

What, you think your country is so perfect it never did anything wrong during World War II? You tout history lessons covering recent events as LIES?

People freaking out over Vanessa Hudgens' photo "scandal":

Yes, I think it was morally objectionable that Vanessa Hudgens apparently sent naked photos of herself to her then-boytoy at the age she was back then, but that's their business and if you find it utterly disgusting because you think she's supposed to be some sort of role model then you need to take that stick out of your bum and look at the fact that this is something a disturbingly high amount of girls in their teens do anyway (not that I condone it, but still) and if you're letting your little girl take her moral lessons from someone other than YOU, THE BLOODY PARENT, let alone someone on screen, then you need to come down from your pedestal you stupid ice queen and start raising your kids PROPERLY. Let Vanessa live her life without you judging her every move. And I say the same about the Miley Cyrus shower photos issue. It shouldn't even be an issue. And no, I couldn't give two craps about the photos mentioned, Vanessa or Miley. They're not YOUR kids, so pay attention to YOUR own offspring and not someone else's.

The phrase "Real Women Have Curves":

You're just as bad as the ones saying, "Real Women Are Really Thin Even If They Have To Force Themselves To Vomit To Attain Skeletal Visibility". If you had any sense of logic, you'd not be trying to attach some sort of physical standard to what women should apparently be like.

People who read 'The God Delusion' and suddenly feel like they can disprove all of religion with a bunch of empirical and falsifiable arguments:

Those are the words of an atheist (NOT ME!). One that doesn't seem to give in to any sort of bias when discussing the issue of religion.

bro'Town:

After the first episode, it stopped being funny.

Loudly announcing your sexuality:

Yes, we know you're bisexual/lesbian/whatever. Nobody cares. Don't expect people to jump up and give you kudos for "standing up for the right to NOT be heterosexual", because that's NOT what you're doing.

Nightwish with Anette Olzon:

She makes my ears bleed, but I suppose if that's the direction they want to take, then by all means they can go for it. There's a viable audience for modern Nightwish, I'll gladly acknowledge that, but it's not within my personal preferences to hear someone whose voice basically scratches the air it graces. And no, I don't care if you think Nightwish is for fat goth girls. Get over yourself.

Lonelygirl15:

That is, AFTER Bree was killed off. Now it's just a bunch of relatively unknown thespians on the run from a shadowy organization hellbent on getting Bree's sister's blood.

My own tendency to say things in the worst possible way:

And once the damage has been done, it is usually irreversible. This happens every now and then; in fact, I once told a girl in art class something along the lines of, "yeah well, at least my face doesn't look like a guy's face!". Lovely.

Tabloids:

Only an idiot would give a crap what products what celebrity was buying/stealing at what store on what street in what town in what country. But then, there's a substantial amount of idiots, so much in fact that there's enough of a viable audience for there to be tabloid magazines in the first place. Tabloid publishers and writers are irrepressibly moronic vultures, pure and simple–OH LOOK, RACHEL BILSON WAS WALKING HER DOG ON A BEACH IN MIAMI YESTERDAY. LOL SHE LOOKED AT THE CAMERA AND JUDGING BY THESE CLOSE-UP SHOTS OF HER FEET, HER FOOTWEAR HAS BEEN DECORATED WITH GLITTER, EVEN. THAT IS INTERESTING NEWS AND WORTH MY TIME TO READ.

Being told I have inferior musical tastes:

Some random thought it to be worthwhile to label me as someone with bad taste in music because Nirvana wasn't on my list of liked bands and artists and then proceeded to (like the good little Nirvana fangirl she is) accuse me of "hating on" Cobain simply because I refused to give him any more thought and attention than I'd give to anyone else who's committed suicide. Yeah, I'm going to stick by my personal preferences. Get the hell over it.

Hopelessly pathetic American comedy and comedy spoof films:

Scary Movie, Date Movie, Epic Movie, Disaster Movie, Superhero Movie, Meet The Spartans, American Pie 2 and onwards, etc. And no, that doesn't mean I liked American Pie 1.

And that was Danny's Perspective, mmkay. Enjoy your weekend, fellas.
