why I hate parties.


Some Girl: Jamie Foxx could get an EGOT. He'd just have to win a Tony. He's a good singer.
Me: He's good enough.
SG: He's good enough.
Douchebag: He's an amazing singer!
Me: No, he is terrible. I can't stand him.
DB: He's incredible!
Me: Opinions end at the border of your face. He is awful.
DB: No you're wrong!
Me: See how subjective opinions are?
DB: No, I'm right.
Me: No, you're wrong. He sucks.
DB: He is an amazing singer.
Me: His music makes me want to barf.
DB: Name three of his singles. [?]
Me: "Gold Digger," and two other songs I don't know the name of because I don't like him.
In an alternate universe, I responded with "What do my balls taste like? Jamie Foxx's music."
DB: "Gold Digger?" That's Kanye West.
Me: Who's that singing the hook? [Jamie Foxx.] I can't name any of his songs because he is terrible.
DB: That is not the hook, that is a sample. [No, actually it is the hook, not a sample. Also, the original song by Ray Charles is about how great his woman is in spite of his being worthless, not a sexist rant by two millionaires about how they hate women.]
DB: [Looking on his phone and discovering it is not a sample.] You're probably just not an R&B person.
Me: I love Frank Ocean. [and Stevie Wonder, Al Green, Billy Preston, Prince, the Temptations, the Supremes, D'Angelo, and other actually good R&B singers that I failed to mention on the spot.]
DB: Frank Ocean is overrated.
Me: You are overrated.
DB: Frank Ocean is R&B for white rock people who don't like R&B.
Me: You are an obnoxious fucking douchebag who needs to learn some manners.
