Meltdowns are a good thing
So for those of you who are "fortunate" enough to read my post-protected melodramatic foolishness may care to know that it's all good. Every so often, I need an emotional release. It's very cathartic. Are the problems and issues gone? No, but I'm calmer, rational, and know that I can do something about most of my issues. A lot of it is a mindset, an attitude. It's something I need to work on and teach myself. So the moral is that feel like it's the end of the world and blowing things out of proportion on occasion is good for me. Twisted world my mind lives in, no?
Last night I got to thinking about something. I had this thought in my mind. The thought was actually the voice of a friend (that most of you probably haven't met, but heard of) informing me that I am intimidating to guys (oh and the friend is of the male species). That prompts the reaction from me, "Me? Intimidating? Bullshit." So I have that swirling in my head with a couple of other guy related things. Then I read this article that a co-worker gave me awhile ago. It's really an excerpt from NY Times columnist Maureen Dowd's book, Are men necessary?. A) I love her columns. B) That's a silly question! The general gist of the excerpt is about the feminist movement, emphasizing the dating/relationship aspect of it and how we have boomeranged. The two key things that stood out to me in the article is that smart women intimidate men and that sarcasm is a part of that. (She says that current society/men dictate that sarcastic women are scary.) What follows is my genreal reaction (Anthony, hope you're reading this):
What fucking bullshit! Ok, I can see where a complete stranger may think that I'm intimidating. But if guys don't have the fucking balls to get to know me and realize that I'm one of the most insecure people I know and that I'm more talk than anything else, SCREW ALL OF YOU. I'd rather be alone. Men think they're all smart and strong and macho. In truth, they are the weak ones, the wusses. Yeah, run away from smart, successful women. Morons.
Yeah, so I just felt like sharing that. That was fun.
In other news, my bosses' charity The Samantha Foundation was featured on channel 10's 6 pm news. It was a great piece. I'm so happy for them that they're starting to get the organization exposure. Oh, and it was also in the Pinecrest/Gables Neighbors sections of the Herald last weekend (Nov. 19).
Night.
