Blah..
I need a new blog. This one is ancient and no one uses LJ anymore. Facebook fails by not having a blog option, and Myspace is lame. I always have stuff to talk about and nowhere to do it. Blah.
I'm so tired. I should be painting but I'm too tired. Having a bad day today too. First I discovered that my rats chewed through another cage. I am NOT putting another $100 into them. It's fucking ridiculous. I've have 25 rats prior to these two and none of them chewed anything. And they won't chew on their toys, which makes no sense at all. As much as I hate to get rid of them, I think I'm gonna have to. I was going to pack up all of their stuff tonight and drop them off at the pet store. Let the staff decide their fate. I know that I won't be able to find a new home for them here. Then I was trying to think of where I could find some sort of metal base to fit the rest of the wire cage. Hey, Tim works in sheet metal and is always wanting to make something! So we'll see if I can actually get him to do it. Otherwise, Bunny and Kiwi have to go.
Then the girl who gave them to me started messaging me about what happened. She said that they did the same thing to her. Funny how she failed to mention that when she gave them to me. Her reasoning for selling them was that she didn't have any time for them. Then I found out she was quitting her job soon, therefore freeing up her busy schedule. Oh well, I was happy to have them. I offered them back to her if she wanted them, and she said her husband won't let her have them back. Now that is a bunch of bullshit. Don't lie, just say no thanks. It's perfectly understandable given their problem.
Then I see that one of my other friends has become a fan of a page called "Not Being Pregnant". She is also in a group called "Child free by Choice" that has their profile picture as a crying toddler. As if that's the only way kids act. I totally respect people who choose not to have kids. She says she doesn't hate kids, but she will sit there and write an entire blog about how she absolutely cannot stand kids behaving badly and not being kept in check by their parents. While I agree, I think she flaunts it too much. It makes me really uncomfortable and hard to be friends with her, especially since I have a toddler and one on the way. The first time she met Tristan, she acted like he was a disease, though I'm sure she didn't realize how she looked. You don't hate kids but you can't act like my child is another human being? A little human being that is not being bad and trying to say hi to you and be friends? Thanks. I think she is a pretty cool person, but I have a hard time with her constantly worrying about everyone's kids that she "doesn't hate".
Whatever.
Another friend of mine is always venting about shit. Little shit that doesn't matter. "I just don't understand people! I'm done being nice!" Shut up. You are not. Worry about your real friends and forget about everyone else. Stop wasting you time over and over venting about people being stupid. Half of the population on this planet is stupid. DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT. Focus on the positive things and other stuff that actually matters. If you can't change it, it's not worth the energy of worrying about it. Don't say that you're not wanted because one person won't hang out with you. Don't tell everyone to stop drinking Crystal Light just because you got cavities. You got everyone freaked out over nothing. CALM. DOWN. Everything is going to be okay.
Whatever.
See what I did there? I can rant about annoying things without letting it get under my skin. You can too.
In actually, my life is pretty great right now. I'm back in Japan living on the amazing island of Okinawa. I saw Humpback whales out in the ocean last weekend. I make people happy by painting things for them and taking pictures. I have an awesome little man that drives me crazy, but I get to watch him evolve everyday. I have another little booger (boogette) on the way that is going to have a cool name just like her aunt. I miss my family and real friends, but I'm experiencing things they will never see. It would be nice to have some real friends here but I get by. Okay I do have one real friend here. I just don't get to see or talk to her much anymore.
Okay, I'm really tired and need to stop rambling. Just bored.....
I want a smoothie...
