I'm sorry, were you saying something?

I'm back. And yes, I'm still bitter. Angry. Frustrated. But that's just how I roll.

So, as always I thought I would share some of my issues with my readers. Try to keep up.

1. Making friends at any age is difficult. I've been there, done that; and I have a lot of friends that would agree that moving to a new place is more difficult the older you get. With that said; I'm amazed and even a little hurt that people will complain about the difficulties associated with making friends. Some of these people have been approached by several people, invited to activities, as well as been introduced to other spouses. And yet, they complain that they haven't met anyone, and hate the 'group' mentality within our community. Ok. So apparently you HAVE met people, but because these people haven't met your expectations, or your needs, that is the reason you are lonely and haven't "met" anyone. Give me a break you whiney ass twat.

2. We are not responsible for your mistakes. - Bailouts. Uh, yeah. I'm not an economist nor am I political strategist. And yet, I sit watching the news, listen to the controversy over bailout plans for the Big 3; as well as the plans and pleadings of the average American and their financial woes over mortgages. *Pause* *Deep Breath*
Feel free to disagree, and keep in mind that we are homeowners too.

No. Simple and straightforward. No. I'm sorry Big 3, you are completely responsible for your current situation. You made poor choices. You continued to make cars and trucks that were not selling because you were unable or unwilling to adapt to consumer needs. More unfortunate, is you allowed yourself to be run by the very unions that are supposed to protect the workers rights, and therefore your workforce. You are out of touch, and unwilling to compromise. Learn a lesson, and move on.
I have a lot of sympathy for many, many homeowners. For many the decision to buy a home was done sensibly and with the correct loan. However, if you thought that buying a house worth 300,000 on an income that grosses 35000 on a loan of interest only, or some other bullshit mortgage loan....thinking that this wouldn't eventually come to bite you in the butt????? And you EXPECT a bailout. Um, why?
Last thought on this issue. Being military doesn't entitle you to shit. You bought a house on a 3 year tour, in the middle of an economic crisis - and are looking to the government and/or military to help you.....give me a break, dumbass.

Finally....

3. Family is frightening - Nothing brings out the craziness, or sheer greed like a family trauma. In this case a death of a very much loved head of the family. Out of respect for my Papa, I will not go into detail - it is enough to say that I am crushed by some of the things being said about each other, and the actions of some individuals. One day I believe that you will have to stand in front of a mirror, and you will have to see yourself for what you truly are. And when you look into that mirror you alone will have to deal with the thoughtless, immature actions that have brought you to this lonely conclusion.

I'm off to shop now. Retail therapy is a great stress reliever. As is coffee, alcohol, nicotine, and hanging out with my homies. Watch out A. I might just show up on your doorstep tomorrow.....no, really, I'll call first. lol.

No one cares.

I really do think that people think like this sometimes. That social norms, and the unsaid rules of life do not apply to them. And yet, they assume that the rest of us should comply by the rules, and stay inside the box - no pun intended. LOL. - Sorry, I made myself laugh with that, and that's have the battle, huh.

I sometimes feel my I.Q. falling when I read and/or participate in certain online chat forums, or message boards. Its like a train wreck; you see the horrific carnage, and you know someone isn't going to make it, yet somehow you keep looking. Even worse you see someone walking towards the danger, and its like a slwo-mo moment - you reach out slowly screaming "Nooooooo....." and yet they keep walking, like a moth to a strange blue light.

Do know of what I speak?

You know the ones. Those strangely enticing chat forums that are complied of other people with similar interests or lifestyles. They are strange little sisterhoods where other women are lulled into a false sense of camaraderie and then they are pounced on the moment they say something that is a little 'outside the box'. I said sisterhood, and women because I have interacted on almost all male chat forums - (car forums....nasty minded person! lol)- and they don't care enough to be mean, or oversensitive about something that doesn't affect them. Apparently only women have a uber - sensitive/ bitchy gene.

I have noticed very recently, i.e. today, that some people react with a bitchy attitude because the statement they are reacting to is true. Most people have a tendency to become defensive at things they know to be true, but are unwilling to admit to. I'm guilty of it, and so are you. But for some people they have to be right at all times, or the sky starts to fall, and the end of life as we know is over.
