#1 - The Title of This Blog

When I was in college, my friends and I had a list called 10,000 Things to be Pissed About. Basically, it was in response to the obnoxious book, 14,000 Things to be Happy About which is, according to Amazon, "the mesmerizing bestseller that celebrates all the little things that make life worth living." Yeah, one of those books... in the same vein of Chicken Soup for the Soul. I hate those books.

So, looking back I guess that means our list was 14,000 Things to be Pissed About. Obviously, the book is so annoying that I even got the title of the satire wrong since I tried to block it out of my mind. 10,000 is a better number anyways...

Anyways, we created our own list. Some were universal, others were more inside jokes. All were still entertaining to us. So, I decided to recreate this list and have invited my friends to join in. This is the result.

Which brings me to #1. I can't use 10000things.blogspot.com because someone already took it ahead of me. Even worse, they didn't bother to post more than just once... Dammit. I wouldn't be as annoyed if the site was being put to good use, but no, there it sits. With one lonely post. THAT'S FOUR YEARS OLD! Seems like the perfect representation for why this blog exists...
