7 Unlucky Frustrations
There are things that are frustrating me beyond belief lately. For my own peace of mind, here are just a few.
1. I'm currently involved with a club on campus of extreme disorganization and, in my opinion, poor leadership decisions. I, as a member of the executive board, find myself faced with various responsibilities. I'm tired of spending time and effort on an organization that can't pull through. There are many things I would be doing differently if I were in charge. I like the people involved a lot, but I hate how things are run. I'm torn between wanting to quit and walk my own path, and continue struggling to make this club a success.
2. There's a person in my life who constantly hurts me. She is constantly selfish, even though I try so hard to be nice to her. I'm tired of this person's narrow-minded selfishness which adversely affects everyone in her midst. This has gone on for literally years, there should be some respite.
3. Well there's the election business. While I'm saddened by Kerry's defeat, which was somewhat inevitable, I'm even more disturbed by the continued animosity on both sides. These next four more years don't have to be a prelude to Armageddon. There's always political activism, which has proven quite effective throughout the nation's history. Of course, most people will simply find themselves content to complain, and spread hatred. I'll admit, I'm no better, I prolly won't get involved in any political movements until the next election. But I'm not going to randomly gun down Republicans on the street just because they're stupid.
4. School is never-ending work, and for some reason I find myself continually obligated to obtain good grades. Shouldn't I be focusing on things that might actually get me somewhere, like the talents I perpetually ignore or cast aside in favor of crap like Temptress: the History of Seductive Women? I feel like an admirable transcript is going to get me about as far as a frisbee made of solid brick. I want nothing more than to skip my classes for a day and be productive in my own way.
5. It's that time of year when I run out of money and starve as a result.
6. Laundry.
7. Everything pop-culture bothers me. Joey is still on the air. They're making new episodes of Family Guy, and they're not making new episodes of Futurama. Ashlee Simpson thinks she's great. The new Star Wars looks just as shitty as the first and second. And The Incredibles, which ranks in among the best movies ever, is not out on DVD so I can't watch it every waking second of my life. Also, Jessica Alba is Invisible Girl. When is it going to end!?!???
