Push in your chair!!!
When did that simple etiquette fall by the wayside?
I remember when I was in elementary school and we had tables with chairs. When the class was told to stand up and get in a line to leave the room we were always admonished to push in our chairs. Always. I can hear distant echoes of long-ago teachers drifting through my brain as I write this. It is obvious as hell that this is no longer valued or taught in schools today. Children hardly ever push in their chairs. (Nor pick up their trash but that's another rant).
Older people (read that as elderly) usually always do and it is pretty hit-or-miss, with a decided slant toward miss, with the middle generation. I don't get it. Did my anal retentive side rear up as a child and force me to grasp this simple task and cling to it for a lifetime of order and courtesy? Or is it just that in today's modern society of go-go-go we sacrifice the little things in order to be "always on"?
It feels like simple things like basic manners and common courtesy are fading, leaving behind a general sentiment of annoyance and frustration. If only we all took that extra second or two and exercised the little things, we might feel better. Of a certainty it would make our lives better in the long run. "It only takes a moment to be polite." -Benton Fraser, Due South. (See the things I learn from tv?)
So I guess, be nice, be polite, be considerate, and push in your damn chair! That's what I want you to take from this. Well, that and Due South has all the answers.
When you drive and talk on your cell phone, which one gets your brain? The driving or the call?
This is one of my pet peeves. As one who spends a huge amount of time driving, it never ceases to amaze me the number of people I see trying to drive while they talk on the phone. Can't do both well, folks. Your mind is either on the call or on your driving.
Saturday evening about 9 pm I was side-swiped by a guy on his phone ... and of course, he promptly drove off. Fortunately, the only real damage to my dear old mustang is that the mirror was ripped free. My mechanic is on duty looking for a junk yard replacement. Many people of all ages have died trying to do both drive and call or even text! Come on, people!!! Stay alert & stay alive!

I hate it when a person can't drive and talk to a passenger without looking at them. Why do you have to turn your head and take your eyes off the road just to talk to someone sitting right next to you? What's worse is when they turn around to look at someone in the backseat! I encounter this everyday when I pick my daughter up from summer school. I know they want to ask how their kids' day went, but damn, KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE ROAD AND PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT YOU'RE DOING!
Rant over...for now....
If you don't play, you may think I'm speaking an entirely different language
1.) When in a 2 team mission the other team has a MM-N/Mo and has summond a Min army then maps out, and leaves you in the center of a large group of rouge lvl 26 angry Mins...when you're a very small Lvl 19 SS-N/Mo...can we say brutal assault everyone?
2.) When in a ordinary mission and people forget to tell you they're going for the survivor title...you rat bastards! I should have left you do rot!
This is all...for the moment.
i've decided that i'm going to ignore some things until i'm too stoned/drunk to not wanna kill myself just thinkin about them, n that's how i am right now. i was supposed to see my therapist today n i cancelled AGAIN. tuesday i honestly couldn't go cuz i had to write that damn speech, but today there's only two things i have to talk about n the two together are so painful that i just wanna die. i've been livin in a fantasy world these past couple of days to cope n i know that's not healthy by any means, but its all i've got. n i know that when that fantasy falls apart its gonna be bad. real fuckin bad. worse than it is right now. i'm so depressed that its making me lazy to the point that i won't even do my dishes n from the way the sink looks Kim's been feelin the same way. its pretty disgusting. i'm so depressed n so pissed. why the fuck do i HAVE TO HAVE healthy coping methods? why the fuck do i have to cope with feeling like shit all the time? I shouldn't have to, i should just be happy. i should be able to be happy, but no, this shit happens n its all just bad. n on the 1st of those two things, people try to give me advice n i feel like shit when they do cuz they dun understand or i'm too scared to do what they're advising. No more advice on J. Please. n then i feel like shit cuz i know i'm still gonna feel depressed over it n wanna write about it n shit but fuck, FUCK! i am just not happy. i want to be happy. fuck.
oh, n btw, a pet peeve of mine: READ THE FUCKING TAGS ON MY ENTRIES!!!! ok, that's not directed towards everyone who reads my blog, but some of u HAVE NO IDEA WTF I'M TALKIN ABOUT CUZ U DUN READ THEM N THEN U SAY COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT THINGS N THEN I THINK UR A FUCKIN RETARD!!! if ur one of these people, u may often find urself blocked cuz i don't feel comfortable confronting individuals on such mediocre things that drive me crazy cuz one symptom of the PTSD is that i stress easily over small things as a defense mechanism to keep me from thinkin of the reason why i have PTSD. ok, i gotta do my laundry now...FUCK! i have so many errands to run n here i am stressin again...FUCK! i need a friend who lives close to me. even just havin someone around right now would mean the fuckin world...
