I need you like water in my lungs
so I don't know what to write now that I'm here. I guess I'll write a little about things that make me mad while I think of something substantial. most of you probably shouldn't take anything I write as directed towards you. If you think it is, ask. Seriously if you think it's about you, odds are you need to get over yourself. I could have done this on all the things that piss off anyone who is aware of their consciousness, like people the generic 'shallow' person or the generic 'knifing' person, etc. so here are 10 things that actually do irk me
1.First off, as any good list of pet peeves should start, I need to state that I hate people who are liberal for the sake of being liberal, or conservative for the sake of being conservative. Suddenly it's "trendy" to be political, & it seems like no one who just "got into it" knows what the hell he or she is talking about on either side. All this bullshit needs to end. If the only reason you're a Democrat is because 'lol i hate bush hehe rofl he is so stupid' well then you need to be covered with the scent of a viper and dropped into a cage full of mongoose. Then again on the same ground, there's a sudden trend that it's hip to be Republican, for no other reason I can see other than Bush was president during 9/11. I'm not saying one way or the other, but you need to look at all of the aspects of the political world before you jump to a conclusion. You can't Worship Bush and Worship Reagan, Reagan had claims as a libertarian republican (he never acted accordingly), Bush is a complete opposite, a big government, "religion is the utmost priority" Republican. If Reagan were alive and well now he'd kick Bush out of the party.
2.Secondly, I hate people who act like they're wasted on one or two beers. All right, I've never had any alcohol ever. But even I know that when you weigh 200 lbs, you don't start tripping and falling once you're finished half of your fucking Milwaukee’s best. You don't need to be drunk to fit in, why would you even fake it then? If you hang around a group of people the whole night, and they all know you've had 2, and it took you 3 hours, you're not fooling anyone when you start making claims of finishing half the case. There is no reason for you to ever act like that; you're not making anyone else happier. In fact, I'm sure everyone else wishes they DID get drunk off their ass on 2 beers.
3.Then there are the people who always have to have the most amazing story about everything. I'm sure you know the people. No matter how horrible something you saw was, or how devastating something that happened to you was, no matter how hardcore you are into anything, no matter what you've done, this person has not only done it, but done it in an even more amazing way. I know kids who have broken their hands from punching something once, yet this one time, when no one was there, you got in a fight and punched a kid no one knows in the head 17 times even when you knew your bone on that hand broke after the first punch (I am using someone’s story on that one). Then you didn't get a cast because "you didn't want one" and it was "only a boxers fracture"? Give me a break. I mean stuff like this goes from people having the girlfriends that no one ever meets & no ones ever heard of, along with you're never with them, to the people who claim anything you've done, they've done you up one. You're up how much in poker? They're up double-- even if you've never seen them win a game after playing with them for over a month. Everything they say has to be a brag about how everything that happens to them/they do is just so amazing that you should worship them as a role model. There’s almost nothing quite as satisfying as knowing one of these people, knowing one of their "crazy ass friends who does this crazy ass shit with them", and their friend denies and refutes everything they say when they're around.
4.Of course, along those lines, there are the people who lie all the time about other people. They have no regard for facts or logic or anything, just ruining other people’s good names or their chances at doing something. If you don't like someone, big whoop. Don't make up shit and say that they did things or said things to you that never happened. Even if they do believe you, it's only going to last so long. I've seen so many friendships fall apart from shit like this. Just because girls like your friend more than you, doesn't mean you need to ruin their chances with them. Simply for the sake of someone recognizing things you do aren't really all that nice, you don't need to go and make up things about them until you feel better
5.I can't leave forget people who were spoiled rotten as kids, whether they were only children or not. I'm sorry, but if you're 18 and you can't share anything; there’s something wrong with you. How can anyone be so ignorant to what’s going on that they knowingly don't invite someone somewhere or to something just because earlier they wouldn't give you something or how can you be so inconsiderate that you can curse out your own parents, who gave you everything you've ever asked for up until way after they should have stopped? It's faulty parenting I guess that leads to this, but it's how some people with these gigantic voids are formed. The daddy buys the little girl everything he wants and she gets used to getting everything she wants. In fact, she asks for a doll she gets the whole series, she asks for a shirt she gets the whole outfit. Before you know it the girls growing up & she's used to it, all she's learned how to do herself is lie for things. That goes on past when she's lying to make friends till she's got who she wants, until she gets to guys, and does whatever it takes, sacrifices whatever dignity she has left to do whatever she wants with whoever she wants. Congratulations, you're a black whole for integrity and character! & So I guess you could say I hate the all around spoiled/selfish kids, and their parents.
6.People who don't comprehend the whole idea of America not having a Language or an official Religion, & then feel the need to press what they believe onto someone else as if we do. Philadelphia used to have all the signs in the city in German and English; half the country was like this. You can't go around saying "well English is part of America’s culture" and expect that to be a valid point. Spanish is part of American culture too. Don’t' believe me? Do you understand why we fought at the Alamo? Because Texas decided that the land it owned wasn't enough, and with no justification declared it owned part of Mexico, and decided to defend that part of Mexico against the Mexicans. Wars like this, which we have fought indirectly or directly, to invade Spanish lands have made Spanish part of our culture too. If you're really that worried about having to get off your lazy ass and learn two languages, keep this in mind: English is the language of the Aviation World, the Medical World, the Technological World, and the Business World. English is never going to be replaced, and if Spanish people ever want to go anywhere that you (hopefully) want to do with your life, they'll need to learn English before you need to learn Spanish. Learning their language only makes it easier. You don't have to. Then on a similar tone for the Religious side, just because you have your faith & it makes you feel great doesn't mean you're better than anyone else. In fact, most of the time, your faith is preaching forgiveness and love, not a condescending arrogance and belief in the death penalty. If I remember correctly from my own experience, it's Christian to spread it to those who are interested, not to make all follow and make all hear your call.
7.People who ignore facts when it's convenient. This can go for every aspect of life almost. From a pharmaceutical company issuing a press release, to a guy talking about his car, to someone bitching in a video game.
8.People who think it sucked to grow up in a boring town. All right listen. You grew up in boring old Boyertown. Boo hiss. Whine and bitch, but then think like your parents probably did. If you're going to have a family, do you want your kids growing up somewhere exciting? The exciting places left in the world are places where there are shootings in the streets, where you can get mugged leaving your house, where there’s 'adventure' in the form of hoping you can get to school and back. Maybe you want that now, that’s your own decision. But don't fault the fact that you grew up in a place that, with the exception of all the racism, is the perfect place to raise a family. If you were having kids, wouldn't you want to bring them up in a safe, sub rural environment? Where their biggest concern at the age of 6 is catching the bus and not surviving? Lets be realistic, Boyertown's boring, however it's almost a utopian dream for anyone who wants to raise a healthy family.
9.On the flip side of that, people who think they should or do act like they're from the ghetto and they had a hard life when they grew up in a development where their parents have a house worth over 250k. Get over yourself. You're not tough. You can afford 100 bucks on each of your 4 sweat pants outfits and only wear them once a month, excuse me but what the fuck? You have sweaters that cost you eighty dollars, yet they have a giant plastic logo in the front that makes you look like some sort of tool. That’s so awesome I daresay it's tubular. At least you're keeping it real, FUBU in the house.
10.Yet somehow there are those kids who grew up with less income and still think they have to act like the previous group, even without the ability to dress like them all the time. They're the real hardasses. We don't know what it's like to grow up poor on the mean streets of a friendly town with nice neighbors! I don't make a big deal about it and I'm not about to start doing it here, but the chances are when I was little, my family had less money available than you did. And you know what? I'm not a gangster ass piece of shit with something to prove. How is that, with this tough, tough world we live in? Hmmm. Come on people, grow up and move on.
I dunno if this is or isn't how I feel all the time really, it's probably just how I feel tonight in the aggravated, sick mood I'm in.
