Without going into details: I'm just, really, really tired of human beings right now I mean really

Yeah, but really REALLY?

All kidding aside that does suck, TW. Currently I'm waffling between wanting to be completely alone all the time, and wishing I could just be in a happy crowd. Mainly I like hanging out with my kids. And work. Oddly enough, through all the weirdness of the last 18 months...work has made sense.

Anyway, enough about me. I'm sorry to hear that the humans are getting you down. They really CAN do that.

I was walking home the other day thinking, "Why on earth did I switch to a profession that requires client contact? Stupid stupid stupid."

The existentialist cliche is: Hell is other people.

What the existentialists forgot to mention: Heaven is too. Or can be, if you find the right people.

Manhattan, Montana. A nice little town. I lived there for a couple of years. No kitty, though, and there are people there.

I'm tired of human beings, too.

But they're SO tasty.

What?

I want my personal space craft/truck/RV with lots of old records that I was promised. I'm sure people suck all over, but maybe they suck in new and exciting ways on Tau Ceti!

Plus, stars n shit.

I do not like you college brat
I do not like you and your frat
I do not like you at the shore
I do not like you drunk on Coors

Hate you and your average life
Hope you do not take a wife
Hope you don't decide to breed
'Cause that's one thing I do not need

I do not like you radical
Hate you and your fancy school
Wrong about the working class
I hope they kick your Harvard ass

Do not like you world of ours
Rather live in Planet Mars
Die from lack of oxygen
Than breathe the air of other men.

Hey!

I ended the year with my AP seniors with Sartre's No Exit, JP. I'd have that as my staff yearbook quote if I could (Hell is other people, that is). The students who read the parts did very well.

Still, the sound of teenagers lately gives me hives, and constipation.

what bothers me is not so much other people, but how other people irritate me in the same ways, over and over. There's never any real variety: it's either Fear or Ego or some hideous, subterranean combo platter of both.

When I get tired of human beings, I like to imagine them as animals. Sexy animals, growling and purring and spraying all over the room. That seems to make everything okay again.

I'm with you on that, Whelk. Well, except for being with you. Because, you know, people and all that. So, I get it. The tired part I mean.

Yeah.

It's been a very long day, Hopefully people will be people tomorrow.

I'm tired of a certain subclass of human beings, so I'm right there with ya.

I'm tired of human beings made into hamburgers. What, nobody likes tacos?
