Herding Cats
Bored and hot. My parents are cheap so the AC barely runs. In their defense, they're paying the bills and they don't have a furnace built into their torsos...for some reason I came with a furnace. Whilst other newborns were wrapped in two blankets my crib had a special noticed taped to it: "Hot baby - one blanket." One blanket was probably too much but whatever - heatstroke is awesome.
My parents' idea of "cool" is upper 70's despite having lived in IL for over a decade. They like it hot and I wear flipflops and shorts throughout the winter. I should probably focus on the blessing of having any AC given the increasingly humid summers in IL.
I'm not entirely sure why I've returned to Xanga. Bitterness leads me to believe that having a blog that offers anything but entertainment is pointless - most people have already made up their minds. Beyond offering laughs or new info, I don't feel like I'm contributing anything. The world seems bent on destroying itself and I'm sick of screaming at the blind to turn away from the precipice. "Shut your face - I know what I'm doing!" *falls over cliff edge*
Now that I'm no longer too depressed to care, I'm back to enjoying the frustration of caring and being unable to change anything. I apologize to any who are offended but the feeling this creates in me is "fuck it." Generally speaking, I'm a "give them a second chance" kind of guy. I'm not sure if that comes across here because usually I'm frustrated to the point of cursing by the time I open my mouth/begin typing.
It's like herding cats on cocaine.

I've been there to the point of not wanting to care anymore, and then realizing how much residual care you have to burn through just to get to not care anymore. It leaves you back with caring, but not wanting to.
My roommates cat keeps pissing on my favorite shirts in my room. Life is what it is, and sometimes, just sometimes, calling it like you see it helps.
@TheGiantSlayer - that cat is making a power play - start pissing on its stuff to show it who's boss! Thanks for the well-wishes. I'll keep them in mind when I'm feeling like giving up.
@JJ_Ames -
I have entertained the thought of just pissing on the cat, but the logistics of sensitivities and frustrations within proximity proved to have an unequal result. Yep... don't want my junk ripped off by an angry ... ... ...cat.
i am so fucking jealous.
@TheGiantSlayer - my first thought was just, "piss on the cat!" but then, i don't really like cats anyway...lol. dogs rule!
I know how you feel. I go back and forth with all of this as well. People who don't understand what is going on, don't care. Yet.
