Angry. Not being able to do any decent work because I have mentals tomorrow and I'm kind of worked up about it. Slept only 4.5 hrs last night. At least the appointment is at 1200.
In a way that's no bad thing. Don't forget your notes. What makes me angry today? Neighbours like Angle's. Thoughtless twats that they are.

The VA really pissed me off. I took 20 mg benzo. Slept for 13 f*cking hours straight. Longest amount of time I have slept in more than twenty years. Woke up kinda out of it but I was really rested.
Got to thinking about all the anger caused by not knowing when they will get off their ass and do something so I said f*ck it. I will deal with what ever comes my way with or without the bastards. Fired up the guitar and call a singer friend and booked a gig in Key West. Gona play some loud hard core rock. If I fall off the stage tough shit, I will just harden the f*ck up.

Told off the woman at the drug store - for the second time (different woman different reason...the first time it was a rude clerk talking down to an old italian lady who could only speak broken english and was being ragged on for not speaking english...she wanted to mail a letter...mean little sob...anyways.......)
She told me to have a nice day..I said nothing, she said louder, "have a nice day" I still said nothing but she was making a pretty big deal about it and she was going to MAKE ME say it back to her.....and I was doing some calm breathing thru the nose...jamming my fingernail into the palm of my hand to redirect my thoughts...don't want to go to jail today....she takes in a deep breath almost ready to say who knows what to me in her pursuit of forcing me to return the phrase....The transaction was finished so I was walking away ...I said nothing at all...I was leaving and she was complaining about how rude I was and laughing with the customer that was next in line...so I said something about rude people - about who plays what role in our little transaction (you are the clerk and I am the customer - lady where were you going with this...sometimes people just don't want to speak...were you planning on forcing a polite phrase out of my mouth...bla bla bla who the hell do you think you are....bla bla bla....you do realize that in this age of technology you really can't get away with treating customers like crap anymore.... I am going to go to my car and report you to the company headquarters on their website...then I am sending your boss an email....bla bla bla and tell you what sweetheart you got your reply and acknowledgement of your f*cking existence from me today..here it is...go f*ck your hat... )
Honest to God some days I wish for the acerbic wit and wisdom of George Carlin..."There is a problem with the term, "Have a nice day." It puts all the pressure on you. Now you have to go out and somehow arrange to have a positive experience. All because of some loose-lipped clerk. Have a nice day, indeed! Maybe I don't like feel like having a nice day. Maybe - just maybe - I've had 27 nice days in a row, and I'm ready for a crappy day. You never hear that, do you?...."Have a crappy day?" Why, thank you. Right back at ya! A crappy day, that would be easy. No trouble at all. No planning involved. Just get out of bed and start moving around.
Ahhhh now that feels better :)

Jenny...the lady has been eating to much "blue" food. George Carlin...just to funny. Some times I just say with a really nice smile on my face and in a very kind voice "f*ck you very much" and kinda fast. I love the puzzled look...what did he say...no...I must not heard him correctly!!!
When people just keep pushing me to respond to something I have politely said I do not want to respond to or talk about I go off on them. Not angry like...I do stupid stuff. I play like I am really sick and try to produce a tear and tell them that I have diarrea and runny shit is dripping down both legs. Well...I think that fair...screw with me and I will show you what I learned in acting school!!! Better to deal with life with humor, even sick humor, well at least for me. I always have a 40 cal Sig with me....so better to keep my head on stright.

Had someone tell me that I needed to vote for Romney to help keep the country running today. When I asked them how can I support someone who fled the country during Vietnam to go live in a palace with a personal chef and a houseboy and received nearly three years of deferments this asshole told my that I was unpatriotic and that I must be a fag like our President. Needless to say this didn't sit well with me as I explained to him in very precise words that unlike him I am a combat veteran and I did serve my country and that I am not some simpleton who is going to fall for some smoke and mirror routine to make me vote for a coward and a worthless sack of shit who would be more then willing to send your kids to fight and die as long as his five boys don't have to do a damn thing. Then this f*cktard has the balls to say that I am just jealous of Mitt's ability to stand by his convictions. Really, his convictions? I didn't know the dill weed had any convictions. This went on for about six minutes until my wife managed to get me out of the area before I beat the shit out of him for being a useless piece of shit that is wasting precious air that I could be using. But this ruined the rest of my day for sure. So after several beers and a few hours to calm myself this is what has pissed me off today.

It is the silly season. Also talking politics in the US since 2001 has become a risky exercise. For some odd reason since then, If you don't agree with the Republican mantra you are labelled: Gay, a communist, a terrorist, a wimp, unpatriotic, or a hippy. The Democrats can't seem to keep their hands off of our civil liberties. Lets see. Latest, the extension of the Patriot act. Any act with the words "Patriot" in it is a piece of shit.
In this little act, You may now be arrested without charge and held indefinitely for terrorism. The problem there being the definition of terrorism. Also. If you owe 50,000 dollars or more in taxes......your passport may be revoked.
Used to be you could have a conversation in a bar about politics and it didn't matter what position you took. Today there is no middle ground. More likely to get fist in the face than a healthy debate.

Politics is big business. People here spend millions to get jobs that pay substantially less. Unfortunately, my take has been this; they're all the same. It doesn't matter what the party is or what ever they are saying or even who gets in. The statement "Is your life better now than it was 4 years ago" has become like a mantra for every politician that's come done the pike.
In a way I wish I was born about 500 years from now when we would be in the planet colonization era. At least I could go somewhere else that's still wild and pristine. Far from the maddening crowds and idiot shit head politicians. Unfortunately I'm not. I do know this; if I want something to change in my life, I have to make it happen. If I want something I have to work for it. For me It's always been this way and always will. Is my life better than it was 4 years ago? Only if I've done something to make it so.
Politics like religion are two subjects that elicit great emotions from people about stuff that is totally out of our control and mostly stupid anyway.

The funniest part of the whole conversation was me trying to explain that I'm an independent, and that I was just trying to point out that I won't vote for someone who dodged the draft. It had nothing to do with anything other then that but he had to go on and on about how I was wrong. If he would have just let me have my opinion and said "ok well thanks anyway" everything would have been fine.
Hey MadBat
When I was a kid, like all kids my father would tell me stuff and saying about things. I used to think he didn't know much and wasn't very smart. Just like most kids. As time moved on, I guess so have I and I've learned that in his own way he was spot on about so many things. It's sometimes hard to give your parents credit for that stuff.
He used to say something like this; Who's the bigger fool? The one you're arguing with or you?
Not that I think you're a fool but the guy is obviously a moron. He's never going to 'get' it and it's a waste of your time, and intellect to even try to convince him. His brain is out to lunch. And he's never going to give you the satisfaction you're looking for. As Forest used to say; Stupid is as stupid does. And he is if he's going to vote for another draft dodging millionare.

Spot-on, mate. Not too different in the UK. They're all rich kids in charge. And not one of them these days has held a proper job, let alone served...
It is beginning to annoy people, not just the likes of me, but all those other people really trying to earn a living (and pay their taxes), too.
