You Know What Really “Grinds My Gears”?

You know what really grinds my gears?
I decided to take another page from “Family Guy’s“ Peter Griffin because there are a lot of things that truly “grind my gears.” I usually do not let things bother me but I observe things that are equivalent to nails on a chalkboard such as:
“Bring It On: Fight to the Finish”: Those who grew up in the '90s are familiar with the cheerleader movie, “Bring It On.” But it's now in its fifth installment, called (none other than) “Bring It On: Fight to the Finish.” They should have stopped making “Bring It On” sequels about five years ago. Then, to add insult to injury, the star of the movie is singer Christina Milian. (Where has she been for the last few years?) “Bring It On: Fight to the Finish” brings nothing new to the table (except maybe a few new dance moves). (From watching the trailer) the movie involves a girl (Milian) who leaves her old school where she was the cheerleading captain. She attends a new school where she butts heads with the queen bee. Milian then makes another cheerleading squad at the school and they challenge the queen bee and her crew at a cheerleading competition. There’s no need for me to continue because we all know how this is going to end.
Miley Cyrus: Miley Cyrus performed at the Teen Choice Awards and the Internet was buzzing about her “pole dance.” Now, I watched the Teen Choice Awards and did not see anything wrong with the performance, but I do understand why some parents may have covered their child’s eyes when she straddled her legs. The problem with Miley Cyrus is that she’s both Hannah Montana AND Miley Cyrus. I think she forgot that her fan base is huge and that she’s living two lives not one (although “Hannah Montana: The Movie” portrayed something totally opposite). Her fan base reaches children as young as 5 and as old as 30. So Miss Cyrus, you shot yourself in the foot this time. I would advise her to finally pick a character, either you're Hannah Montana or Miley Cyrus because if you do not draw the line between the two then incidents (such as this one) will continue to occur (and just because you put on a blond wig does not mean people can distinguish between the two).
Omarosa (a minister?): I am all for people changing their lives and leading a “righteous path,” but who would think that the author of “The Bitch Switch” is trading that in for a bible? Honestly, who would want to see Omarosa (also known as) “the Queen of Mean,” preaching? If she were my minister, she’d grind my gears on an early Sunday morning.
And that’s what really grinds my gears.
