here are some things i have been reminded of in recent weeks:
when you are young and fear growing old and having dreary responsibilities, you are completely RIGHT to have that fear.
when you are tempted to hire a contractor to do a "little" bit of work on the house, DON'T. do it yourself or prepare for a huge ordeal and an even bigger bill.
Fractal writes the best journal entries. they are short but so vivid. it makes me wish i knew her.
christmas shopping is torturous. i forgot since last year i did most of it online. this year i did most of it down in the trenches. comparatively, online shopping is bliss.
gifts should be given when you feel they should be given. holidays measure out your generosity. it is unnatural.
UPS sucks. they break 50% of the stuff i buy. no deal is a good deal when you have to file a claim and wait weeks for UPS (or the seller) to reimburse you.
where i live we have this "recycling" program. anything i leave in the alley (electronics, old furniture, wood, carpet, etc.) disappears long before the garbage gets collected. recently i deposited the old laundry sink out there. some ass broke the legs off of it so they could get the $0.03 for the scrap metal. they shattered a corner of the sink in doing so. now it is useless and will not go to a "good home". dammit. same thing happened when i put out the shitty kitchen table i bought used in college. someone stole the legs and left the top.
if your direct TV dish installer is afraid of heights (which is a hilarious career choice in my opinion), send him home. this will only come back to haunt you otherwise.
rich kids with no sense, no income to even afford the heating bills, and who have mummy and daddy to buy them $700,000 houses as wedding presents deserve to get the finger as much as possible.
i understand that cars are terrible for the environment, can be dangerous, and are marketed so aggressively that people will waste more money on them than almost any other consumer item. i understand that bad drivers make me act more crazy than almost any other class of human society. still... new tires can make a car fun again for a few days. this will be completely ruined when i drive 300 miles each way this weekend.
i really like the music of nirvana. every year they release another boxed set of crap which makes me dislike them more. whomever is responsible, please stop putting out crap. let the myriad of other products and our collective memories be enough.
i miss making music more than anything else i have ever given up (intenionally or otherwise). i am terrified that i will never be able to make time for it again. i am terrified that i will never have another creative expression in my life.
i am terrified that my bitterness over being a responsible adult will subside.
