Yes, you, anonymous Internet friend.
In this day of Facetwits and Linkbooks, it’s vitally important that we publicly declare ourselves vis-a-vis:
- Who (and what) we hate; and
- Who (and what) we love.
So I think it’s high time we got this out on the table. Maybe cleared the air between us.
I don’t hate you.
I don’t hate your kitten memes, or your baby pictures.
I don’t hate your SUV or your electric car or your fixie.
I don’t hate your music. I don’t hate your celebrity crush.
I don’t hate your diet choices or your leisure habits.
I don’t hate your politics.
I don’t hate your kids or your pets.
I don’t hate your TV shows or your fashion sense.
I don’t hate your fears.
I don’t even hate you for hating any of that stuff.
In fact, I kind of like you. Or if we haven’t met, chances are I’d like you once I got to know you. I’ll bet you have a nice smile.
I’d like to have a beer with you sometime. Or tea, if you don’t do beer.
That’s all I wanted to say. Thanks for hearing me out.
I hope we can still be friends!
