ANGST
i was just sitting around feeling sorry for myself when i realized that i've been much worse than this before. like the time when i was sick was laid out for over a week with a fever of 103 and the heat went out for three days. we burned old books and recyclables and pieces of furniture to try to keep me away from the abyss. i was a little delerious at the time.
which reminded me that the other day i was going to rant about a newly discovered pet peeve of mine. i was distracted by a very funny lady so i felt it would be a poor time to vent. but now wrapped in the bitter coils of misery i thought i would share with you my mind.
the other day i realized that people who consistently respond with "it could be worse...." or "at least..." to any given statement should be drawn and fifthed (if possible) otherwise dipped in syrup and squatted over an anthill. it's ok every-so-often or if used in a humerous way (ie. "boy does our boss suck donkey dick or what?" response "at least he has all his limbs and we don't have to carry him around all day.") but if i say something like this "man, for every three steps i take i have to take two back." and you say "it could be worse, you could have to take three steps back." well then ...shut the fuck up dumbass! just because i speak to you doesn't mean i think you're intelligent. of course it could be worse i could be forced to listen to your useless unending wisdom! everyday! as far as i can tell, it can always be worse, someone always has it worse than you (except for that poor sucker at the bottom rung of bad luck. his life must suck) so let me just get my gripe out and we can get on our way. don't force me to rip your tongue out and slap you with it.
ok...that was it really...
