The 100 most annoying things of 2005

2005 is over and not a moment too soon. We’ve been doing this since 2000 and I can’t think of a year where the bad outweighed the good to this extent in quite a while. And of course, that’s great news for putting together a list of annoying things! Let’s hope that 2006 will live up to this banner year of annoyingness.
95 PRUSSIAN BLUE
Finally, a racist teenage singing group thatâ..s too cute to hate! Their strategy to have non-whites who listen to their music end their misery by committing suicide might actually work!
89 DOMINO and AEON FLUX
How could two different films about hot chicks with guns be this boring?
70 ASHTON KUTCHER
How stupid do you have to be for this dope to pull a prank on you?
39 FOX NEWS
President Bush could drive a flaming van full of babies off a cliff and FOX would find a way to spin it as a liberal attack on family values.
17 RUBBER COMMEMERATIVE BRACELETS
Whoops! The yellow dye in those LIVESTRONG bracelets causes cancer. Sorry, folks!
11 PARIS HILTON
The extent in which this plastic empty souled waste of space continues to get crammed down our throats is mind-boggling. Ha! I said â..crammed down our throatsâ. and â..Paris Hiltonâ. in the same sentence!

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
