A Good Old Thumb's Down To Life

This is a comic rant, but a rant nonetheless. If like your laughter with a little pain, you've come to the right place. If you like to read a blog that's safe for the entire family to huddle around the old laptop (traditional as this may be), then you've just fucked up.

People are totally, irredeemably stupid. I would explain this, but humanity has done little to deserve such dignity. Instead, I am going to list things that people (maybe even you) do that infuriate the living shit out of me:

• (OOOh, bullets) To all of the cynical loners; blow me. Life handed you the short stick, I kept telling you not to put your faith in people, don't be naive, etc. But do you listen? Nah, you went out with what's-their-name and made them your God and they ripped your heart out. This is not actually devoted to one person (which I suspect at LEAST a dozen of you are thinking right now); I know tons of people who have done this. You have to rely on how reliant upon yourself that you are able to be, not on how valuable another person makes you feel. Everyone wants to be loved; the truth is, though, nobody needs it. You'll get over it, and maybe next time you won't leave the door so wide open.

• Hello Mr. and Mrs. dysfunctional relationship. Don't call me. You never listen to what I have to say to you about anything, you just do the exact same things you were going to do regardless, so why are you asking? Why are you wasting my time? Get married and end the charade; if you were going to leave, with no due repsect whatsoever, you would have done it. You would have had the balls to do it if you had any kind of self esteen - but instead you let it rot like garbage in the sun.

• Don't tell me you're 'busy' when you're talking to three or four other people. What am I going to do, murder you for talking to other people? If you need to lie in order to feel the justification to do something, you've taken a wrong turn somewhere.

• Are you pissed at me? Get over it, you little girl. Do you know how much shit I have to be angry at you about and I let slide? You're not the first person to feel pain or be inconvenienced. While you're holding out with your little grudge, I'll be paying attention to someone else. Act right or don't bother.

• Don't bother saying things about me if you're not going to say them, to me, face to face. Period. Just because I'm in anoahter state doesn't mean I don't exist; you're just deluding yourselves.

Wow, this isn't funny, is it? Ooops. I guess I just got high on the truth. It's a seductive drug. It's highly likely my note covers at least 1/4 of the people I know; unfortunately, it's a close fourth, people who I have spent many hours with before, told so much to, and been a good friend to in the past, where I would show genuine care and interest in them and their lives, no matter what they did or where they lived. It seems, when I need emotional support, some of you don't want to come along for the ride, you feel burdened, or you even loook down on me for sharing my feelings with you. So, sadly, I will have to either close a few chapters or you will need to show the will to improve the situation instead of bottling everything up inside, makig snide comments about me in public (yes you, thanks Mr. Dependable) or plotting amongst yourselves and keeping me out of the loop. I've seen people do that to the people I love, and I will not tolerate it. If I think you're doing this, fuck you, your leash is short and I have no interest in being associated with you.
