I'm just fucking tired
So Jeff told me I need to post. So I will. Readers, be forwarned, this is a pessimistic post. Has anything good really happened this week anyways?
I'm fucking tired of hearing about the gas "crisis." Let me start off by saying, why the hell is one of our biggest arguments about off-shore drilling and then why are we freaking out about the Gulf pipeline? We get 80% of our oil from overseas. So why the hell are people freaking out because a little hurricane came through two freaking weeks ago!!! and all of a sudden everyone needs gas. Its like no one has ever heard of the concept "stay home." Seriously, people are sucking it up that have more than half a tank and I'm sitting on 1/4 of a tank with a 50 mile round trip to work (yeah, I know, its my fault) and so we drive to hopefully find a station that shouldn't be too crowded, use up half my gas, so now I'm forced to sit in a line with 25 other assholes just so I can get back and forth to work for one more freaking day. But let me tell you what, I had plans this weekend, but once I get home tonight, we'll go grocery shopping but after that, my ass is not leaving my house and my car will not be turned on until Monday morning when I'm forced to go somewhere. This is just ridiculous. I hate Charlotte.
I'm also fucking tired of hearing about this "economic bailout" where we're spending money we don't have (that one phrase boggles my mind as it is) to help people not worthy of helping. Obviously they were not business smart enough to run their own companies, so why should they get help? I can't find gas which means I can't go to work so I can't pay my mortgage. Do I get a bailout? Fuck no!! I get a nice "Screw you, get out of the house" letter in the mail. I mean, credit card companies don't let you get away with not paying your bill, so how does the government spend money they don't have? (I picture myself starting to look and sound like Lewis Black at this point.)
And don't try to trace this back to a political affiliation. I don't have one and I don't care what yours is. I'm sick and tired of hearing about that shit too. I'm not voting because one vote doesn't count. Its bullshit you've been fed. Hell, when I was on the band council there were maybe seven of us. My vote sure as hell didn't count then, why would it now? I do find one interesting fact between the candidates: Obama isn't worth a shit without his teleprompter and speechwriters. Maybe the speechwriters should be nominated for president, they seem to have a more clear vision of what's really going on.
I'm sick of football players getting paid more in one season than I'll get paid in a lifetime and, literally, getting away with murder. I'm sick of 80% of the athletes being black and black people still saying they're being treated and targeted unfairly. Racism is only an issue if you make it one, asshole.
But one good thing did come from this week. Jeff made dinner last night. I hope this doesn't change when we get married. I love him so much, he keeps me grounded and what little hope I have up. I couldn't ask for more.
I could rant some more but its escaped my mind for now and I've tired myself out. Have a great weekend. Atleast try.
