H O C K E Y D I N O

My friend Holder of the Truth once said: I say what I hate because it reveals what I love. 

I've always kept that in my head for some reason. It makes sense.  Probably because I feel the same way, and I'm constantly bitching about things I "hate".

Hate perhaps is too strong a word, but it depends on the context. I hate terrorists and Michael Jordan.  Do I really hate them the same way, and for the same reasons? No of course not.  Most hate has to do with actions, not the person. 

I recently posed the question if anyone really hated someone.  I got quite a bit of responses from people saying that they do not hate, could not hate, and that it was just wrong to hate. I happen to think these people are in denial, or perhaps have some intestinal fortitude that I'm lacking.  Most likely they are in denial, and are singing Kumbaya all of the time.

In any event..here are some things I hate:
