I was planning to participate in Girl Talk Thursday this week, but it seems that the site has been hit by the Word Press Apocolypse that’s going on so, instead I bring you this random collection of rants.

It’s been almost a week since I’ve posted here.  I’m having a hard time coming up with things to say.
Actually, that’s bullshit.  I have lots to say, I’ve just been too lazy to deal with it.  I wanted to write a birthday posts for Issa and Liz, but I never managed to get it done.  Hell, I barely got their birthday presents to them in time.  This from the woman who overthinks and overplans EVERYTHING.  I leave work on Friday, and I mentally map out the entire weekend  on the drive home.  On Monday, as I’m headed back to work, I look back at the weekend and think to myself “Just what DID I get done?”  Ususally the answer is nothing.

In general, I’m pissed off at the human race in general at the moment.  From the jackass who almost hit me this morning, because when merging lanes, even though I was the last car in the line up, she HAD to be in front of me and not behind me.  To the dumbass kids in my neighborhood who play ball in the middle of the street and then refuse to move out of the way when anyone drives down the street.  Seriously, they wait until the last possible second before moving off to the side.  I swear it’s like they have a death wish.  But then again, they are kids, with no real sense of mortality yet.  I pray they don’t learn the hard way.  Some of our neighbors drive well over the 25 MPH speed limit down our road. One day…..

I’m sick of Facebook Pages that are full of hate and violence.  I’m horrified when I see someone I know join them.  I’m in the middle of a cull of friends there because of it.  I’m all for freedom of speech.  I believe in civil rights.  I don’t believe in calling for someone’s death simply because their political beliefs are opposite of yours.   On his worst day, I never wished for the death of G.W. Bush.  At many, many times I wished he wasn’t the president.  I never wished him harm.   I guess what I don’t understand is how all these people calling themselves Christians, the ones who are anti-abortion, but yet pro-death penalty, the ones who claim to love God, how you can stand on this earth and spew violence and hate toward your fellow man.  Whether that man be white, black, gay, straight, Democrat or Republican.  All of you with those “WWJD” bumper stickers on  your cars.  Do you think Jesus would approve of death threats?  Do you think Jesus would turn his back on a man in need of help, simply because he was gay?   Mother of Pearl.  And people wonder why I left the Church.

I’m irritated that my housekeeper just up and quit on me.  So now I’m back to cleaning my own damn house.  And yeah, I know most of you are rolling your eyes right now, thinking “Oh, the poor wittle princess has to scrub a toilet”.   It’ s not that I think I’m too good to do it.  Hell, for 5 years, I cleaned OTHER people’s toilets.  I would much rather pay someone to do it, while I spend that time, oh, pushing my daughter on a swing.  Or coloring in a book on the floor of  her room. Between my job and my commute, I have precious few hours left during the day.  I want to enjoy them.

I have just flat out had enough of people who expect more from me than they are willing to give me. Oh, and seriously?  If you’re going to act childish about me leaving Twitter(and yes, I did.  yes, again.  Yes, for good.) and act like if I’m not on there, I can’t be your friend anymore?  Then BUH-BYE!  Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out, ok?

And speaking of social media, you know what else I really hate?  When people copy their twitter updates to Facebook and never use Facebook for anything else.  It really flies in the face of the whole SOCIAL part of the social media thing.  What incentive do I have to reply to you if you never respond?

Allright, I’m stepping off my soap box now.  If you want to take the opportunity to leave a rant of your own in the comments, feel free.

Have an awesome fucking day, ya’ll.
