It’s not often I wake up at 6:30 on my vacation, but my mind
was racing with so much “what the fuck?” that I just had to spill it. I feel
like this would be so much cooler to write if I was sitting in my kitchen
drinking coffee and just have my roommates look at me with extreme confusion on
why I am up, but I don’t like coffee so I’m just going to axe those plans all
together. I suppose, I could sit there with some strawberry milk, but I feel
like that just way too hipster… Do hipsters even drink strawberry milk? Ain’t
nobody got time for that.
Speaking
of time, I hate making plans with people. It’ll come to a point where like,
five minutes before the plan is to commence, I could just care less to hang out
with them. So, like, I just begin to think of elaborate excuses to get out of
it. I spend hours preparing a story and I tell it to myself enough times that
it almost becomes real. “Yeah, no man, my dad is like pissed I didn’t wash the
dog, and I got to do that, then I have to move some furniture with my dad
upstairs in our loft and, you know, it’s just too much of a fucking hassle… Can
we just do this never, on a different day of something?” And then I think about
the story some more and it’s like, I don’t have a dog… I don’t have a loft…
What furniture would I be moving? The plan just falls apart in my head and I
just end up telling them “I got thing…” That’s it, plain and simple.
With women, it’s the fucking worst,
because, I’m like, “King Story Fabricator,” and I almost feel compelled to
break down everything and analysis it. I dunno why. I hate it, really. So there
they are, going off on a list of things they have to do; “I have this meeting
that I have to go to, and then I want to go work out for a little bit, and then
I have this seven hour gap to do a whole load of nothing, so, I’ll probably get
a coffee somewhere, and then I’m meeting
up with a friend at like 6ish to do a thing that I could probably do another
day and, so, I can’t do anything today.” So, I sit back, take that whole schedule
in, and I work it out and time it all out in my head systematically. “The
meeting will take about an hour, working out is another hour, just to get
ruined by a coffee trip to MaryLou’s, seven hours to be frumpy , and then
irrelevantly see a friend… Okay, so for starters, go to that meeting. While you’re on your way to that meeting,
tell that friend that excuse you gave me and let him systematically break it
down in his own way. Second, don’t be frumpy and go work out. I’ll buy you a
coffee after. Lastly, well, now your day
is suddenly freed up… And of course, with women, there’s no way around that
schedule. Its set in fucking stone, notarized, and sent off to some other irrelevant
person. Then you go and bargain for time. “Well, what about the seven hour gap
of nothingness? Coffee? Maybe?” Then four hours later, I get an angry the angry
text, “I’m busy!” Sometimes, there just isn’t a return text. I get it, I’m not
stupid. I’m not the person who gets pissy about getting ditched. I don’t even
call it getting ditched. I call it, “getting bumped from the schedule.” Yes, it’s
the same thing. So, when I get pumped from the schedule, I get depressed, and then
I go and drive around wasting gas, hit up Instagram and see everyone’s hipster
photos of doing non-hipster things that are now hipster things. Shit like that.
I feel like Instagram is almost
becoming like the Myspace of old. You know, when people takean action picture
of someone doing a thing that anyone viewing it, is going to have no frame of
reference. Just a thought. I’ll let you soak it in a bit.
I noticed like two weeks ago,
people evidently fell into some “hard times.” Now, I’m not going to divulge the
actual events in which transpired. However, I’ll comment by saying, it was
hilarious, and I always love reading a good Facebook fight as much as the next
person. I mean, I had to take a break at work just to catch up on this. But it
wasn’t just one person. There were a few other examples of things that went
down. Just people posting stuff about
Karma being a bitch and all that. Can we be realistic for a second? Why does
Karma have to be a bitch and why do you have to stand and bask in the glory of
some battle you won? What did you just fucking accomplish? What, you watched
someone gets arrested? You had a witty comeback? You beat some skank up cause
she was all over your man? You posted tasteless pictures of someone one Facebook
because you have a grudge with them? Well aren’t you fucking special. At the
end of the day, why would you invest all that time in orchestrating some deviant
plan? But what do I know. I choose my friends wisely. I stay away from people
who have a shady past. I don’t live a reckless lifestyle. I don’t seek out ways
for an “escape.” I don’t make up excuses for my insecurities and insanities. I
deal with my problems accordingly. I stay away from grudges. I get it, people
hate me too, but you know, the fucks I give aren’t that high in that area. At the end of it all, why you gotta be so mean?
