The past few years my mind has been especially old and grumpy. It was never young, it was never care free. I believe I know why now. Well, at least one inspiration for my old grumpy mind.
My father. He's one of the only people who ever instant messages me. Yeah. Going back to my childhood I have more memories of talking with him or working with him than I do of most anything else. Maybe my memory is fading. My mind seems to be the difference in our ages older than it should be.
It may also be because I find all kinds of things in common with Scrooge and House. In fact, my dad watches House too and we talk about it. Hmmm.
I do concentrate on the bad a bit too much, but maybe I just don't want to get my hopes up. My imagination might paint me a beautiful picture of prosperity if I let it focus on the positive. I wouldn't be happy with that, not after the daydream ended and the reality struck.
Realism is a separator. It has divided me from most of humanity. Since I really know me I realistically get kinda bummed out when I think about the future. I don't like anything. I don't see anything as being a benefit for me in the future. I can't see the future as being beautiful.
Then when I finally stop looking at myself and look outward I see scenes of destruction. Earthquakes, natural disasters, either real or fake it doesn't matter. The world is going to end because of the actions that have proved to be sound, just, and prudent. Maybe that is just what I see because I have this pessimistic prematurely aged way of thinking. I don't care enough to debate. I'm just really bummed they're killing in the name of, freedom from responsibility?
Do these people even know anything? These figures who hold themselves above us? The most I can tell is that they know how to feed off the peoples fears and hopes. They paint the world in these idealistic tones that never match, that don't fit, that are blatantly stupid. Everything will be better now though. They'll fix it. They know what went wrong, they know the one that is to blame is gone. They forget the facts. They forget to think. Ideology disables rationality and realism.
Sometimes I am so happy I know too much, but most of the time it is a curse. Nobody likes me, but do I give a shit? I don't know. I don't think I do. I'd really like for people to respond, to talk to me, but it isn't really convenient for them and they're too busy. I'd be required to come up with what there is to talk about and all I have got is "This isn't the way" and "I'm so happy, can't you see me smiling."
I'm pretty damn tired of it. Tired of everything. So, perhaps this is when I stop. I stop writing here. I stop talking to people who ignore me. I stop caring. Proclaiming everyone sucks and that I don't give a fuck. That does make me feel better after I have it written down...
Adios assholes.
