(This is meant for my actual blog which there is a link to somewhere on my profile, but I thought Id share here first before I edit it up and stuff, because here nobody knows me and very few will actually read this. And if you do read this and dont know me then try not to judge. Im just going off and actually dont feel so passionately about this stuff as it may seem. Raw material right here folks. Lucky you.)
I know Ive done a fair bit of hopeful positive lovey-dovey vibe here on the bloggy-blog. But if you know me well then you know I have a fair bit of sass to give as well. In this last few months Ive been going through some major shifts that have caused me to take a step back and do a bit of reprogramming. Thats all fine and dandy but Im also a big fan of balance and the belief that too much love and not enough shit-talk is bad for my soul. So if you will indulge me for a moment or two I am going to dig into my bag of hate and pull out a few things that, in the ongoing sense or have recently, gotten my fur on end. If not for a few laughs than for the very least the sole entertainment of myself. Ready? Aaaaaannnnnnd GO!
~ Some of the younger hip elite bands and their fans in this town can be horrible twats. Truth be told, if youre in a band and have a Facebook fan page full of photos of your band members dressing like youre dirty and just not caring, drinking Milwaukee or Pabst like all of your friends do and making shitty albums that sound like your first band practice ever then there is a good chance that youre going to receive some form of criticism from the press. Some advice, when you do get that fair to middling press, take it like a champ and improve on your weaknesses instead of attacking and getting your stupid hateful little friends to join in on the fun in a public message thread like its grade 7 again. Artists brimming with integrity? I think not.
~ Why do I care what some jerk off with an acidic tongue thinks? Because Im a sensitive jerk off with an acidic tongue of my own and I should have learned long ago not to egg people on, even if its in good fun. Lots of people cant take a joke. Im a stupid sucker for feeding in to it.
~ Some folks dont understand basic respect and boundaries when living with others. Sorry but I fail to grasp how its hard to clean up after yourself. I understand lived in. I even understand a degree of laziness, but rotting cups and cupboards that sit for 2 weeks? A month? Forever, until someone else deals with your mess? Puh-lease Porky, you moved from mom and dads so you could establish some individuality and responsibility. I get that nobody aside from your job is giving you an allowance and the parental units arent harping on you to clean your fucking room, but show a little class and keep your crap out of other peoples way. If you cant do that then get a better paying job and live on your own or live on the damned street where filth is kind of the norm.
~ People use Facebook to complain far too often. Im sick of seeing angry updates about the weather, or how appalled someone is at Facebooks lame privacy issues, or how someone cant deal with Facebook because its taking over their life. Well, heres a small suggestion, walk in the rain and learn to enjoy it because, HI!! Youre in Vancouver!! We all know it rains and is grey for 10 out of the 12 yearly months and It has always been this way. Dont like it? Move elsewhere.
Sick and tired of your private information being given out to 3rd parties or those scandalous pictures possibly getting you fired? Then please tighten up your privacy, stop sharing every last stupid detail of your stupid life and stop posting drunken slutty pictures of your ass! Its simple!
But alas, we are creatures who are not comfortable unless were inviting in drama.
~ Im an opinionated asshole who can get far too caught up in other peoples nonsense. Its something Ive always disliked about myself. But again, Im a sensitive fucker wholl use his acidic tongue to make himself feel better.
~ I spend a fair bit of time outside, on Thursdays in particular, and in that time I see a lot of humanity in a lot of different states. Perhaps what I notice the most and take note of is the sheer amount of audacity in people. Whether it be strange goings on or just plain shitty behavior to our fellow humans being, I feel that I am privy to a lot, and this is only 7 hours spent on a beat of 2 streets in the life of a city. I cant even imagine what mail carriers or cops must see on a daily basis. I know that I see parents treating their kids like shit, ornery every aged people, bridal shop owners who are clearly miserable owning bridal shops, strangely dressed wiener people and plenty of angry car drivers honking their horns.
~ On the topic of car horns, I firmly believe that car owners should have their car horns deleted from their vehicles after excessive use. Call it a 3-strike rule. If youre laying on the horn in a busy intersection and obviously there is nothing anyone can do about your need to get wherever the hell it is you need to get right now then you have no business being behind the wheel of a vehicle. Unless youre dying or have a dying passenger in your back seat/at home or are having a baby then chances are you are just being an impatient piece of shit. Shut up and wait your turn, Nancy.
~ Store bought drinks posing as healthy drinks with WAY too much sugar in them. A few weeks ago I saw a can of coconut water that had a sugar content that was over half the volume of the whole product. Seriously, what the fuck? Just make coconut pop and stop being tricky! Im sure the Coca-cola beverage company would be all over that shit in a heartbeat if the price were right. Stupid money grubbing hippies.
~ Dont get me started on hippies.
~ I pretend Im all angry and appalled but as I grow older, get more sober, meditate more and fall deeper in love I am less and less so, and God-damn it that makes me so mad!!!
Yeah. OK. That was fun and all, but Im done bitching. Thanks for reading and I hope you dont hate me.
Regardless, I love you.
