Patience Exhausted

Today is November 9, 2006, and I am weary.

I believe that each one of us, forced to live in a technology-based and information-overloaded society, has a supreme entity-given right to have full access to the sophisticated software applications that allow us to activate a permanent BLOCK on anything that we choose to no longer have thrust upon us as we go about living our mundane little lives.

You know what I mean.

In the past, I had my IDGAS list. (For those acronymically-impaired readers, it means "I Don't Give A Shit".)

Well, today, my brain finally exploded, and I no longer care to have ANY exposure to information or mention of the following meaningless topics of discussion:

[ENABLE BLOCK ON]

• Britney Spears, Kevin Federline, their divorce, their stupid nicknames, their brainless interviews, their tears, their pain, etc.
• Madonna and her poor little publicity-kid.
• Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt - although I don't mind if they are acting in a movie - just lose that humanitarian "cause" crap.
• Reese Witherspoon and Ryan P's divorce. Claim to fame Legally Blonde? Geeze.
• Kirsty Alley's ability to drive up Oprah's ratings (like she needs that) because she put on a lot of weight, starred in a show about her fatness, became spokeswoman for company that made her lose weight, and then made a big deal made about her "coming out" bikini exposure on Oprah to show off her oversized, nylon-wrapped thighs. Enough already.
• Reality television. After the first season of Survivor, what kind of idiots still watch that stuff???
• ... and the bajillion other topics that add no value to my life.

[ENABLE BLOCK OFF]

Thanks for respecting my wishes and not bringing up any of these subjects in my presence. I will try to do the same.
