To celebrate our latest long weekend, a pair of my favourite websites:
* 1000 Tiny Things I Hate
I’ve written about this blog before, but it just keeps getting funnier and funnier! British comedian Jon Brown details all the many things that irritate him, like today’s post: #0156. HIGHLY SPECIFIC INTERNET POLLS, AND THEIR LARGELY UNSURPRISING RESULTS.
Very very amusing.
* 1000 Awesome Things
On the other end of the spectrum is this blog, one man’s attempt to be a little more positive in a largely unhappy world.
In his words: “Polar ice caps are melting, pirates are storming the seas, wars are heating up around the world, and the stock market is in a deep freeze. Dude, it’s getting pretty ugly out there…we started up 1000 Awesome Things a few months back as a tiny getaway from this every day. It’s just a brief escape from the downpour of bad news and sad news raining upon us…”
And it happens to be hilarious. Check it out for some quality weekend distraction.
Thanks for this blog, I have a better time relating to the 1000 things I hate blog. There’s something bout knowing your not alone in some of the things that get under your skin. A delishes and slightly guilty comradery I suppose.
thanks again:)
Had a look at the sites. The ‘awesome’ one was just so dead obvious I lost interest quickly. The other one I took a longer look at, and have this conclusion: there is nothing so soulless and utterly conventional people employed by large corporations to turn subculture into mainstream commercialism. And that’s precisely what this dude does for a living. He’s that cross-over beast, the pretty jock. Pretty enough and clever enough to get the main gist of subcultural activity and humour, but not intelligent enough to ever be genuinely eccentric, thus losing all the charm.
