| Hi. Well, its a glorious day outside, what with the grey clouds and the wind and nice smell of rain. I'm not kidding, by the way. I was fucking around this morning and decided to actually WORK on my site. "RANTS" was the first category i saw, so here we are. And what better thing to be angry about than anger? I'm not really angry about it, more like...dissapointed. And not in "anger" itself, but the people that use it as a shield. It seems so cliche to be angry these days. What happened to that beautifully divine emotion? It's been comercialized, it seems. It is now "cool" to be angry, apparently. Even when you have every reason to be happy. "Man, I'm so pissed! My parents won't buy me a car now that I have a C- in History! I mean, c'mon! They suck so bad, I hate them!" "Fuck that shit, beotch. Thats some wakt shit, you fucking ass monger. Tori said that you been saying shit behind my back, yo. Fuck dat, dawg. Oh, you say you ain't? Well, I don't believe you, you fucking bitch." (white suburban kid dialoge, by the way.) I hear these things EVERY DAY. It's almost as if people are looking for a reason to be pissed. Why? Why do you want to summon such a powerful emotion because you heard maybe someone you don't like anyway doesn't like you? Or that your parents are actually enforcing rules? I mean, if the rule is cruel and unusual, then yeah, by all means be pissed, but doing homework isn't all that hard, and if a car was at stake, you bet I'd be working my ass triple power. Don't get me wrong. I was once too an angry young girl. It lasted about a year. Then, one day, a thought occured to me. I was tired. I was so tired of being angry all the time. It takes a lot out of you. And there are so many other things to do. Like...eating candy. Candy is something to do. It's better than being pissed. Now I'm much happier. Yes, I still get angry. Anger is a necessary emotion. But I'm not going to put forth the effort of being angry when there is nothing provoking it. Thats just a waste of good anger.
