Rantings of a Mad Man Part XIX: The I'm Angry Edition

There are a bunch of things that I want to say, but it's gonna take a little while longer for me to organize exactly what that is. I know I haven't been paying much attention to this here lately, and that it's becoming more common that I don't, but a lot of shit has been going on in my life lately that has pushed it into a backseat, in my opinion justifiably so.

Other than that I've got a few points to make here and now...

I am who I am and you are who you are. I do not ask that anyone follows my path or my example, but that they leave me well enough alone to follow that path and make that example. I don't care if you believe that I'm evil or wrong or sinful or uncaring or petty or any of an infinite number of words to convey a finite number of feelings of dislike towards me. I don't care. So long as you don't interfere. So long as you don't try to prevent me from saying or doing something that I want to say or do. Then we'd have a problem.

I'm not a bad person. I'm a loving and caring person. But I know that the world is a harsh place. I know that most of what we value is worthless. I am both a pessimist and an optimist. I am a hard ass and a likable guy. I am what I am and I don't care if you don't like it. If you don't like it then leave. I've always said that. If you think that what I say or do is so over the top, so disrespectful, so evil or frightening, then leave me alone.

Better yet. Piss off. You're not worth my time. And get over yourself for fuck's sake! What makes you so special? Your morals? Your beliefs? You've got to be kidding me. You are better because your morals make you better because you have morals because your better because your morals make you better because your morals make you better... Its cyclical logic and it doesn't make sense. You're not better because you're better. Besides that's a really lame excuse for an excuse. Hey look at me, I'm better because I am! Yeah! Please, give me a break. You really suck at life don't you. Don't question anything, just blindly accept life and you'll magically get a better one AFTER YOU FUCKING DIE?!? OH PLEASE PISS OFF, YOU'RE OUT OF YOU FUCKING MIND! Here's a quaint idea... let's all leave each other the fuck alone and get on living our happy lives ignoring that each other exists. Believe me, the world would be a better place.

My Last

 My previous post was found as a blank page in draft form this evening.  I found the existence of it to be rather poetic.  So I published it blank as is over a year later.  Seems fitting to be honest.

Reagan, Deregulation, and the Fruit It Now Bears

President Reagan had an idea about how the world should run. He deregulated Big Business. That is, he removed the restrictions put in place that kept companies from cheating. He removed, primarily economic oversight. He said that it was unAmerican that in this capitalist society that such oversight, such restrictions should exist. To him, these concepts flew in the face of that illusive, figmentary idea we like to call freedom. He wanted Big Business to have the freedom to do what it will and believed that in doing so, said companies would check themselves. They would check themselves because it was in their best economic interest to do so. Yet, what he didn't realize is that what was in the best interest of Corporate America could be unknown to Corporate America itself! That Big Business could be akin to a compulsive gambler who as they fall further and further into the hole panic and begin making riskier and riskier bets, thus then subjecting themselves to even more debt ...

36

Navigating life into your mid and eventually, ugh, late 30's is much different than your mid/late 20's.  Artificial time limits that we impose on ourselves for many of life's milestones seem increasingly close and their goals seem increasingly distant as the years tick forward.  It is important however to remember that these milestones are not actually set in stone.  They take work.  Sometimes a lot of work.  And they don't have an actual timeline. In my 20's I believed by 36 I would be married to a good man.  Have a family.  A career.  A home.  And that things would be, in all, pretty decent.  All the hard work of my early 20's would pay off and all of these milestones would be reached.  But of course, we're all a little naive about these things.  We have emotional responses to them which sometimes cloud logic. Three years back, I was in a relationship.  I had a good paying job.  And, as should come as a surprise to ...
