Wednesday's Whine Part II

Hard to believe there are so many things that tick me off.

People who suffer in pain.

People who have an answer for everything, but half of the answers are wrong. If you don't know the answer, say so, don't bullshit one.

People who work in the public and have no customer service skills at all. Don't roll your freaking eyes at me when I ask for a coffee. I didn't pick the damn job for you, so don't take it out on me!!!

Waiting in line. At the grocery store... at the bank... it's never ending...

Politicians - People who give meaning to the phrase true lies. I vote for the one who I think lies the least.

People who don't pick up after their dogs. Sometimes you just want to pick it up and throw it at them.

Drunk drivers - Why is it that after an accident involving one all you hear is all occupants died except the DA drunk one.

Our justice system. - What a joke.

Monday's Motivation

Motivation. In my head I have so much that I would like to do, as well as places I would like to see. I would love to volunteer, to help out somewhere, but I have not decided on what that might be. Finding my niche, do something useful, rather than the same old shit day after day. Meaning and purpose should be enough to motivate me but it hasn't yet. I would like to find another job, one that is not so taxing on my back. However I have thought that if we should move, I would probably end up doing the same type of work because that is what I know and what I do best. If I put enough effort into this computer class I am taking that might help to create another job...but I need motivation. Dance class is good and I am learning things....like it has confirmed to me I don't have rhythm and like the country song says "Alcohol - helping white people dance"...maybe I should take up drinking ;) However, even with dance class lessons if I don't put the time and effort into practicing, it won't make me a better dancer. Places I would like to see....Cuba, Jamaica (again), Mexico, lots of Europe, Australia, and the Maritimes. Would be nice to just pick a place to go every year, rather than look back and say I shoulda, coulda, woulda....instead of Damn....didn't...DOH. Anyone out there have some motivational speeches?

Saturday's Stuff

Up a little early today because someones car horn was going off on the street this morning. Grrrrr, not the best way to start a day at work, but a start nonetheless. In case you were wondering (because even I was) this will not be an everyday blog like the previous one. I sure don't want this blog to be negative all the time either because that won't do much for me either, even though there will be a lot of negative tones. On a positive note, hmmm define positive, next year November 2008, I will be turning 50 and celebrating that fact in Las Vegas with whoever decides to show up. I am sure there is lots to do there besides gamble, right? Take in a show or two, see the big hole in the ground Grand Canyon, do some shopping (after all it will be American thanksgiving). Sometimes we all need a little something to look forward to in order to get us through some of the mundane BS stuff in life. Hmmm I guess heaven is like that.

Thursday's Thorn

Having to pretend that I have it all together when really at times I feel like I'm falling apart.

Yesterday I mentioned this as one of the things that tick me off. I often wonder why we can't talk to people about those things that make us fall apart. Let's be honest, everyone is there when things are going great, they are even there when things seem to be at their worst...so why is it you can't tell anyone about the things inside you that are the cause for your falling apart. Yet, if I were to have an anonymous blog (not saying I do or don't - if I did it would not be anonymous - so don't ask, I'll just lie), where no one knew it was me journaling I would have no problem spilling my guts. For instance, if I were a secret alcoholic or drug user, I would never tell anyone for fear of what may happen afterwards. I am not saying this so that the spotlight is on me (after all I prefer behind the scenes) but I believe most have "thorn in the flesh" issues where they feel there is no help. God's grace is sufficient. Right? I don't plan on bringing a whole lot of God talk into my blog because that is not where I am. I suppose one of those "hidden issues within" is my relationship with God. If i am not living for God i cannot call myself a Christian...not something I really want to discuss with a whole lot of Christians at work. I would rather people know where I stand and have them make a decision based on that than for them to believe I have things together when they are falling apart. I sure as hell will not walk on eggshells just so as to not disturb someone elses pretentiousness either. My choice.

Wednesday's Whine Part I

Things that really tick me off: (In no particular order - just when they happen)
Some of these may tick you off because you may not agree. Add them to your list!

Kids yelling and screaming and crying in the store because they don't get the freaking chocolate bar they want. Here's an idea...maybe we could have designated shopping times for adults only!

Being on time, and then being made to wait.

Suicide bombers. Those SOB's should practice at home beforehand.

People who gossip. Remember for every finger you point at someone there are two pointing back at you. At least one for sure and it is pointing straight up in the air.

Having to pretend that I have it all together when really at times I feel like I'm falling apart. Then walking on eggshells so as to not disturb someone elses pretentiousness.

Divorced people who do nothing but bitch about their ex. Get over it. It takes two. It's over. (This can also apply to those who are married, who do nothing but complain about their spouse).

People who stay together in unhappy marriages. Life is too short. Work at it or ... Next!

Excuses people make for staying together in those marriages. The kids will suffer (ummm hello, they are now). What will my family think (who gives a $#!& - it is your life, not theirs).

Abusive marriages (physical or verbal). If you are in one get the *$^& out.

Saturday's Start

After thinking about whether or not I should blog again I have decided to start up again. I was thinking one of the reasons I stopped was because some people were (hmmm insert political correctness here) not on the same page as myself in a lot of the stuff I blog about. So, after much thought, I have decided I don't care whether people disagree with me or not. The reason I blog is either to share my opinion on what I am thinking/going through, or just to vent or to even perhaps bring some light to a subject matter. Everyone has an opinion on something. I just happen to have an opinion on a wide range of things that I know some prefer I just not share them. I have not gotten to the point where my opinion comes out in person as much as it does in the blog. So to put in nicely.......Hmmmm I guess there is no way to put it nicely... enjoy the blog or don't read it if it pisses you off. Trust me, it pisses me off too some of the stuff I write about because I think it should be done a different way. Does not make me wrong or right...just freaking opinionated. We should just agree to disagree. So for the most part, like the song says (if you played it) "I don't give a darn what other people think, what do you think about that?" There is no use wasting time arguing back and forth, life is too short for that.

Have a nice day, and yeah it feels good to be back.
