You know, I can tell you what is really PISSING me off....
These friggin' Talking Heads on the television that continually presume to "speak" for me...!!! We had a couple people shot in the Federal Courthouse yesterday and all I keep hearing about is how "all of Las Vegas" is "praying" for the families and "all" of our "thoughts" and "prayers" are with them. Well, as terribly insensitive as this may sound, MY "thoughts" are not necessarily "with" them or anyone else that I do not know! As for "prayers"...PLEASE!
Certainly it is a tragedy and I get that, but MY thoughts are mine and "all" of this city, state or country does not necessarily give two sh$#s about every, single person that meets an untimely demise. The wheels on the bus go 'round' and 'round', you know?
This crap happens almost EVERYDAY. Someone I have never met meets some kind of awful fate and suddenly, I am being lumped together with others (that I do NOT know) in some kind of mass love-fest for the "families", whom I ALSO do not know! There is absolutely NO effect on my life whatsoever, yet there are people all over my television, repeating over and over how concerned I am about it all.
I am sorry for those that suffer and I hope they find peace someday but MY thoughts are generally on what I am having for dinner and/or if I will get "lucky" this evening......
