I complain a lot on this blog, and there are many things
that frustrate me about this world, especially the common social rituals that I
find to be absolutely
pointless, but there are actually a few things I enjoy about this great
world we live in.
Grumpy Cat:
There’s just something that is incredibly funny about Grumpy
Cat, that half annoyed, half depressed look on her face, I know it’s just the
way her face happens to be shaped, she’s not really angry all the time, but it
still looks funny, especially once someone makes a meme of her with a sarcastic
saying. Grumpy Cat is one meme series that never gets old for me, unlike some
other meme series that have come and gone.
Control + Z
Whoever came up with the idea deserves some recognition. All
you have to do is press the Control button and Z at the same time, and whatever
mistake you made while typing something is undone. I especially appreciate this,
because I use Excel often at work, and if I happened to accidentally delete a
cell on a spreadsheet, or type something else in it’s place, that I shouldn’t
have, a press of two simple, easy to remember keys will undo it. It’s a
wonderful invention.
Pit Bulls
I have discussed on the blog in the past how I can understand
dogs much better than people, and I do enjoy most dogs, especially large
and medium size dogs, but I really have a fondness for pit bulls.
They are the most
misunderstood and maligned off all dog breeds. Yes, they are much stronger than
other dogs, and can do more damage when they attack, but unless one has been
abused, trained to fight, or not properly trained from a young age, they truly
are no worse for aggression than other large dog breeds like Labs or Collies. The
best proof of this is that the CDC recently finished
a study of statistics from localities with and without pit bull bans or
extreme regulation of pit bulls, and found that pit bull bans did absolutely nothing
to reduce the frequency of dog attacks overall.
