"Living the Dream."

Everyone that I hang around with knows that I am outgoing enough to ask how someone is doing and genuinely mean it. Well, the other day I was at the stop and rob store and I asked the gal "How are you doing?" she responded "Living the dream."

Now, I asked myself later, did I ask "What", or "How", I deduced "How", so then I started thinking. "Living the dream" does that mean..

I am doing okay despite the fact that I live with a deadbeat who takes my paychecks and cashes it for booze and dope, and beats me up in front of my three kids who's different fathers are all deadbeats too.. and thank God himself that this deadbeat isnt beating my kids, although I cant afford to buy diapers, let alone clothing or food for my babies....

So, when someone askes you "How you are doing..." try to respond with the appropriate answer. I am fine, Just shitty thanks. Whats it to ya? Go to hell dude!

Finding ... something...

How can you find something you're not even sure you lost? How can you feel like you lost something if you don't know it's missing?

Am I going thru a mid-week crisis? I do not desire to be at work, I do not desire to stay at home. Not that there are any problems at either location, I just feel cooped up and need to escape. But, I have no where to go...

Maybe its a winter funk.. I don't know.

That lost something... maybe it's my creativity that's missing. Maybe it's not lost but being overshadowed by the sense of being burned out. Maybe I am getting tired of dealing with the severe case of stupid that humanity has to offer. All walks of life all maner of humanity, for 8 hours I have to listen to sob stories, people with anger management issue, people that seem to have Tourette's syndrome, and a myriad of other reasons that can be assigned to one stupid person treating someone else like a piece of shit.

Maybe I just need more sleep.

**sighs**

The good... The bad... and the down right stupid.....

The Good...

Have you ever been stopped for no reason in particular, or even for something as major as a flat tire and had someone stop and ask if you need help? I have had that happen, while not recently, it has happened. Today on my way to work in a light snow, I saw someone pull over and offer assistance to a motorist in need. I wish I had had more time to assist someone, but its me or my job, and since I cant pay myself, I choose work. Sorry, Mr or Mrs Stranded-Motorist. Maybe next time.

The Bad...

I want to say thank you to all in the service industry on behalf of the rest of humanity. We are rude, insensitive, demanding and damn right foul. You put up with more stress in one day than many of us will ever encounter in our meager pathetic lives. So, I say thank you for dealing with our insecurities, thank you for taking the brunt of our frustration for leading such miserable lives. Thank you for being the rock of Gibralter...

And now...

The down right stupid... (this section brought to you by the letters B,M,W as well as M,E,R,C,E,D,E,S and S,U,V.)

Okay, the part you have all been waiting for... The RANT section of the blog...
Now, mind you I like to think I drive safe. I know I probably dont drive as safe as I should, but I can tell you that driving 40 mph in a 65 mph is retarded... Add to that fact that the offending vehicle is being opperating by a woman, and multiply that by the cost of the SUV in thousands, your result is the stupidity factor of said driver. If you have the balls to spend more on your suv than 75% of America's service industry workers yearly wage, then have the balls to drive the damn thing the way the designers intended.

And another thing, I know why women go to the bathroom all at the same time... Support should one of them fall in the toilet.. but does that mean you ALL have to clump together in two lanes and go 25 mph under the speed limit together?!??
