i need my cranberry juice

Ok, the purpose of this blog is for me to just vent, which means I'm just going to bitch and moan about random things. Yes, perhaps I'm on the rag, and I could probably use a cranberry juice... It's a natural diuretic after all.

I'm getting so fucking sick of the stupidity that seems to be more and more prevalent in today's society. It's disgusting how some people just meander through life and expect others to pick up their slack. I'm fucking tired of being one of the few that picks up the slack. I'm tired of busting my ass and then getting pissed on by the same motherfuckers that are causing me to have to bust my ass. I'm tired of constantly fighting the same fucking assholes over and over and over until I'm blue in the face (or red, as the case usually is).

I'm tired of people playing the race card. I'm angry that I can't discipline someone of a different skin color without being accused of racism... Should I just discipline white people then? Is that not racism? I think it's hilarious that people use their skin color as an excuse when it suits their needs but then expect the rest of us to be colorblind. I think it's funny that the BET still exists. I think it's funny that the same people who purport to promote equality among the races are the same fucking people who are perpetuating racism in this country (Jesse Jackson, I'm looking directly at you). Fuck you. This is the 21st century... Nobody gives a shit about race anymore except you.

I'm tired of parents that raise kids with this utopic (yes I know it's not a word, but too bad) view of the world. There are winners and there are losers. Shitty people get things they don't deserve, and good people get shit on. This is life. Get used to it. The weird thing is that while parents are trying to protect their kids' feelings (don't want little Johnny to lose a teeball game, that would just be awful), we are exposing them to shit they just aren't ready to see. I'm sorry, kids shouldn't be watching Family Guy. It's an ADULT cartoon. But we keep reinforcing the idea that kids can do whatever the fuck they want without consequence, and it's wrong. Then we sit there and wonder why society is turning to shit. Gee, I fucking wonder... My favorite example of this is a 7-year-old kid in Massachusettes (I think) that was told he couldn't pitch for his little league team because he was "too good." Are you fucking kidding me? Are sports really meant to make everyone feel all warm and special? Or are they meant to teach kids teamwork and sportsmanship (which is really just about mutual respect)? Why must every kid be awarded a trophy? You lost, you don't get anything. A teacher friend of mine was telling me about a game she played in her classroom. One team won, and got some candy. The other team lost, they didn't get anything. One girl from the losing team raised her hand and actually asked, "what, don't we get anything?" For losing? Are you serious? I wish I was awarded for being a loser. I'd quit my job, start doing insane amounts of drugs, become a complete degenerate and a drain on society.. Maybe then society would reward me for all my "hardwork"... Wait a sec, isn't that the Britney Spears story? Fuck, it's happening already...

Ok, I'm done now. Thanks to all who read this and agree. Fuck you if you don't (hahaha jk, feel free disagree). In fact, I'd almost prefer someone to disagree so I can have another intelligent conversation. As Eric put it, "I feel like I'm hallucinating from intellectual overstimulation."

A special thanks to all of you that make me think.
