Venom (Am I overreacting?)

Helsing will have to wait. As will Finding Nemo. I had a terrifically bad end to my night and I haven't shook it yet. For those readers who find this blog tends to lean a little "Safe" or "Vanilla" please understand that I have no real love of politics, and being of an easygoing nature I don't get riled up. That's done for today.

1) George Bush is an ass and an idiot. I don't tend to lean towards either direction, but what a complete fuck up.
"I pledge 35 mill for Tsunami relief. Whoops, did I just offer what I spend in one
day for MRE's in Iraq? I meant $350 mill. My bad. Carry on." Dumb. Fuck.
People are dying you prick, and you embarrass yourself to your party, and your even your DAD dumb-butt! Your DAD even wrote a personal check. Floors me. Politics invariably turns into a popularity contest (This is why, being a non-conformist, I dislike the process.) And I know a thing or two about PR. Nice going. Dillweed. Them Dems better start grooming someone better, quicker.

2) I hate everyone on the elevator. 4, 5,6, 7,8...and I work on 9. The smokers come in from break, cold and smokey. The older emplys talk waaayy above the normal "inside voice". I hold the door for all, and have it slammed on me just as I walk up to it. I am not phobic of the space. Just the douchebags who fraterinize on the elevator. If I didn't work so damnably high up, I'd take the mother loving stairs.

3) Twice I was nearly ran off the road. 3 occurences also happened where a turning driver signalled his intent 3 blocks early. Once I was cut off on the road, by someone who proceeded to slow waaaaay the frick down. I was foul by the time I parked the car, next to the Impala who thought themselves important enough to take up TWO spaces.

4) This dude has been calling my fiancee' non-stop about the "B and B" audition. Then he starting calling every-other-DAY about callbacks, and finally who was cast. He didn't call the theatre mind you, he called her. She's a performer folks. That's where she's listed in the program. And besides the general gossip she hears, she don't know nuthin'. I ran into this dude at the gym. He even asked me and I said I didn't know. Well, he heard something, 'cause sure enough he left a message about how he heard it was cast, and was (I)lying to him about it? Me. Calling me a liar in a back handed way. I was about to find out where he was staying and lay into him. He's nuts and I think he needs help. J talked to him and defended my honor, the lamb. But what a fucking douchebag.

5)My Commute to Woodbury for work. From Plymouth to Woodbury, because apparently I am the ONLY person who is comfortable freestyling in front of a group.

6) And this is the last. (EDITED FOR CONTENT)Bad sound cues can make a potentially good show...bad. I wrote a shitload here since this was the straw that broke my back, but I got rid of it. If you want to hear my grievance, ask me "offline" as they say at the office.

P-
You sound a wee bit stressed...here is some words of wisdom to put things into perspective:

THE WIFE WHO SAYS IT'S HOT DOGS TONIGHT, BECAUSE SHE IS HOME WITH ME, AND NOT OUT WITH SOMEONE ELSE.

FOR THE HUSBAND WHO IS ON THE SOFA BEING A COUCH POTATO,
BECAUSE HE IS HOME WITH ME AND NOT OUT AT THE BARS.

FOR THE TEENAGER WHO IS COMPLAINING ABOUT DOING DISHES
BECAUSE THAT MEANS SHE IS AT HOME, NOT ON THE STREETS.

FOR THE TAXES THAT I PAY BECAUSE IT MEANS THAT I AM EMPLOYED.

FOR THE MESS TO CLEAN AFTER A PARTY BECAUSE IT MEANS THAT I HAVE BEEN SURROUNDED BY FRIENDS.

FOR THE CLOTHES THAT FIT A LITTLE TOO SNUG BECAUSE IT MEANS I HAVE ENOUGH TO EAT.

FOR MY SHADOW THAT WATCHES ME WORK BECAUSE IT MEANS I AM OUT IN THE SUNSHINE.

FOR A LAWN THAT NEEDS MOWING, WINDOWS THAT NEED CLEANING,
AND GUTTERS THAT NEED FIXING BECAUSE IT MEANS I HAVE A HOME.

FOR ALL THE COMPLAINING I HEAR ABOUT THE GOVERNMENT BECAUSE IT MEANS THAT WE HAVE FREEDOM OF SPEECH.

FOR THE PARKING SPOT I FIND AT THE FAR END OF THE PARKING LOT BECAUSE IT MEANS I AM CAPABLE OF WALKING AND THAT I HAVE BEEN BLESSED WITH TRANSPORTATION.

FOR MY HUGE HEATING BILL BECAUSE IT MEANS I AM WARM.

FOR THE LADY BEHIND ME IN CHURCH THAT SINGS OFF KEY BECAUSE IT MEANS THAT I CAN HEAR.

FOR THE PILE OF LAUNDRY AND IRONING BECAUSE IT MEANS I HAVE CLOTHES TO WEAR.

FOR WEARINESS AND ACHING MUSCLES AT THE END OF THE DAY BECAUSE IT MEANS I HAVE BEEN CAPABLE OF WORKING HARD.

FOR THE ALARM THAT GOES OFF IN THE EARLY MORNING HOURS BECAUSE IT MEANS THAT I AM ALIVE.

AND FINALLY...FOR TOO MUCH E-MAIL BECAUSE IT MEANS I HAVE FRIENDS WHO ARE THINKING OF ME.

P-Dont sweat the small stuff. You have a great life, enjoy the good things. (off soapbox as well) :D
