15. Just Commenting Right Now So I Can

Tue Jul 29, 2014, 11:48 AM

Jul 2014

come back to this later. At least I'll try. These days I stay CONTINUALLY overwhelmed by the amount of information I can deal with every single day! I no longer know what America REALLY stands for, but most importantly how the hell I'm supposed to get myself out of this paper bag that I I seem to be in!

And I do realize that more and more people feel the same way I do. Unfortunately, very few of us seem to have any answers anymore. It's so frustrating that I meet so many people who have COMPLETELY tuned out! They tell me I'm the crazy one because I no longer enjoy life because I try to say informed. Rarely can I have a conversation with most people who give a fly F--K! I am the one who screws up a situation because THEY are having a good time and "I'm" raining on the parade!

Basically telling me to just SHUT-UP because I'm the one ruining their "good time!" If it were just once in a while I wouldn't whine... but it seems to be all the time anymore! I do get it "ignorance is bliss" but I can't find a way to deal with lot!
