I was reading the news, like I always do, this morning...and can I say/ask what the fuck is wrong with the world? Just in general?! I did break the rule this morning and actually went around 10 minutes before the vein in my forehead started pulsing, throbbing and bulging out of my noggin'. From what the hell is going on around the world, false advertising articles, to well known stars whining about their financial woes...cry me a fucking river, you booger eating moron!!
Yup, I am all fired up here and ready to punch something. I'd say someone, but I really don't want to go to jail, don't pass go, no collecting the $200 dollars...they really need to update Monopoly...it for sure is a dated game...but I digress. I started off pretty calm this morning...the coffee was extra special good...and life while off schedule a bit from yesterday's holiday is pretty good. Then I went and did it...I started perusing the news. I ask myself regularly why I even bother reading the news, as it makes my blood pressure sore and my blood boil like something out of Dante's Inferno. Sadly, I must be a glutton for punishment. That and I really DO like to be kept up to date on the happenings around me, despite the rage side effect that sometimes occurs. The saying "ignorance is bliss" I totally understand...I had that epiphany a few years ago...Yes, it took me that long because I really didn't focus on dissecting that particular saying...well I did, and I get it...and it's so true. People that bury their heads' in the sand are usually happier than those that don't. I can't bury my head...it doesn't work...I have too strong of a thirst for knowledge to do that. Damn me!! Sometimes I think that thirst for knowledge is damning.
I am not going into specific details of what articles that got me into this state of rage, because I don't feel like being sued...maybe tomorrow. I laugh about the suing part because what the hell are they going to get from an artist?! Another saying, "starving artist" isn't just a funny little joke. No, I'm not starving, but I also am in full realization that if it weren't for my husband I'd be having to supplement my income, somehow. For now, I have goals, and bust my ass to hopefully someday be fully self-sufficient...but art is a very fickle business...some years are YAY! other years you wonder what the hell you are doing...re-branding has me feeling the what the hell am I doing...but I don't give up, my minions, rest assured, you will have eye strain and things to look at, and hopefully some of you will buy stuff, or even donate...**insert shameless plug here**
I digress, the first article of the day I thought would be safe...a recipe article...I'm always looking for SOMETHING new to try. I'm not the best of cooks. I am great at desserts, but main courses...I'm mediocre at best...Sunday night was a real treat and a testament to I'm not the best of cooks...who knew you couldn't use THAT much black bean garlic sauce? It made both my hubby and I's jaw clench...PB&J for the win!! Again, I'm losing my steam...so this was a specific chef's recipes...then I clicked...and found a few that looked promising...NOTHING in the recipes that I clicked on had any hint of the chef...except a tiny little disclaimer saying adapted from so and so. That is NOT acceptable. I felt jilted, misled and my blood started to heat up a bit. I calmed it down a bit by sending an email about said article stating that it was borderline false advertising, yes I'm that asshole, but I'm the person that follows "Say what you mean and mean what you say" school of thought. No beating around the bush...plow through the bush, burn it, sacrifice it to the powers that be, just don't bullshit me. I hate that.
I went on to some articles that are world news...and my countries news...again ran across an article where I just didn't get what the whining was about. I understood why they were whining, but why take it to the media when things were being handled. I hate being vague, but again, sensitive topics, don't want to be sued...for what I do have. Things were apparently not being taken care of in a fashion that they wanted them, which is impossible due to the nature of the problem that they were experiencing. As they are whining from a MASSIVE upgrade that they did get...and at the cost of the government...and things were being done to rectify the situation these people had the nerve to go to the press?! You should be grateful for what you have, you ass hats. Don't like it, buh bye, don't let the country hit your ass on the way out. There was a slight hint there...my minions, I know you can put a few of the pieces together on this one...
Then the coup de grace...the article that made my blood boil like one of the levels of hell in Inferno...a very well known and well off figure begging for money despite the fact that said person has the life of Riley. Whining about how in debt this person is and that what he offers is divine in nature...I'm not making this shit up...I wish I was. Whining and crying and being a bitch when you think to yourself...WOW...there are people starving and homeless...even in the first world country he's from...not to mention all of those in war torn countries, or countries so poor that children are dropping like flies. Don't get me wrong, I am not a kid person, never have been, my biological clock is broken, or something...but never ever do I wish anything bad to happen to really anyone, and it makes me very sad about the state the world is in when it comes to poverty, crime, etc. Then this self-entitled curdled fucktwat has the NERVE to bitch about their finances, a person that has pretty much every opportunity at their feet??!! Really?!?! Arrogant, narcissistic ass monkey. People like that, the ones so out of touch with reality that we should really lock them up in a nice padded cell get to me. It's one of my BIGGEST pet peeves ever. Kudos for working your way up from nothing...but now you have something...and piddle it away on stupid shit...shame on you, you should know better coming from nothing. There is no sympathy from me...nor the people that commented on this particular article...the comments are always the best part of articles like this one...it actually made me feel like I wasn't just a stark raving lunatic with a vein popping out of my forehead, blood pressure soaring and blood boiling that makes Inferno look like some magical place of wonder and happiness...where when unicorns fart, glitter and rainbows come out of their butts.
Well, minions, I do apologize for the vagueness...but I really don't want to be sued or get in any sort of legal troubles that I can't afford to bail myself out of. I hope you can catch enough of what I did give to piece together the articles that have my panties in a knot. Until tomorrow, my minions...new update day!! Woohoo!!
