What Grinds Your Gears? :)

[Mew]

Great! I am very close to my mum. I hate my dad. I am so filled with rage with him I want to do this:
Yeah, and now that they're divorced, my dad got married. Now his disgusting thing he calls a "wife" keeps liking my mum's Facebook page and crap. My God just die already. Actually, no I need the money from your punk a**.

I gotta admit, the new signature really goes perfect with most of your posts Meow.

It's more awful than I ever have the words to explain when a parent dies. Even if you didn't see eye to eye on stuff. You are to young to realize this. I thought I was too until six weeks ago.

So stop wishing for a dead parent.

Gotta agree with Katie on this one. You may not like what your dad has done, but wishing death upon him is one of the most heartless things you can ever do as a person. Once he's gone, he can never come back, and believe me, you won't like it when it happens. My parents are still alive, and even though I don't see eye to eye on stuff with my dad sometimes, I'd never wish death upon him. That's just horrible.

And, Katie, sorry for your loss. You have my sympathy.

Finally having the "Your boyfriend is a jerkoff" conversation with the sis.

Nygh.

penny: Better to get it out of the way.

Wrestling f*cking sucks and I think I might be finished with it. It's a long story and I kind of don't wanna talk about the details of it yet. But it's kind of depressing when you devote an inordinate amount of your life to something and it all ends up being a colossal waste of time.

I'm at the point where when my tween-age nieces and nephews ask me what they should do with their lives in a few years, my exact advice is, "Don't aspire. Find a boring, stable job that pays your bills, and forget everything else. Learn how to settle." They don't talk to me much anymore, because I'm "a downer", but seriously, that's great advice. When you reach my age and realize literally everything you've ever done was a waste of time, that you pursued the complete wrong goals in life, it hits you hard.

It's funny; when I was younger, I'd hear so many bitter wrestlers or ex-wrestlers moan, "All I ever wanted to do in my entire life was wrestle... and then, not only did I not want to anymore, I f***ing hated it, wanted nothing to do with it, and hated myself for ever getting involved with it." I thought that was crazy. Now, 5 years into it, I realize those were the 99% of sane people who got out of it for one reason or another, and the 1% of people who stay involved in it are morons. It's just such an awful business full of awful people. It's absolutely zero wonder why the suicide and mortality rate in the business is so high.

I don't know. I've "quit" a million times but circumstances are such that I'm pretty sure this time it's for real. My gut tells me it's time.

[pennydreadful]

Sorry to hear that Leo, but if it's not fun anymore - it's probably for the best.

FWIW, having a "stable" 9 - 5 ain't all it's cracked up to be either. I'm sure it's aces for some, but for others it's depressing as all get-out.

[Jester]

Sitting at my painfully boring job as I type. I'm also achy and tired. I may ask the boss if I can head home if I don't start to feel any better....

Good luck Penny.

I'm stressed out and my eyelid is twitching. When it starts, it can twitch for a week, and it's really irritating. Someone told me once it's due to some kind of vitamin deficiency, but I don't know.

[IndigoErth]

Best of luck with that, Penny. I'm sure that's got to be difficult to have that chat, but she's no doubt better off hearing it. Hope you feel some weight off of you once that is (or already is?) off your chest.

[pennydreadful]

Eh... it's over and done with now. It seemed ok; she didn't get upset or anything (at least, not to my face), but I still feel like human garbage.

Which is basically an average day for me anyway. But today it's like, really gross human garbage. The non-recyclable kind.

No offense, but you can't judge another person's situation and say something like that without knowing the reasons why they feel that way. Even here on this forum, it's impossible for someone to get into it very deeply without feeling like the "bad guy" because people judge based only on what is posted. But sometimes people have real, legitimate reasons for feeling that kind of emotion toward a parent, and wishing them gone/dead/whatever. I've thought or said the same thing about my own dad. For VERY good reason. It has nothing to do with age, it's about how they treat you and what they've made of your life while you were under their roof.

Not to belittle your own loss, if you didn't always see eye to eye is one thing, and it's a sad thing to lose someone close, but if you can't even stand to be in the same room or even house with the person for whatever reason, and were never close to begin with, then it's a bigger issue, and one most people simply can't understand.

If his situation is even half of what my own is with my step-dad, I sympathize with him, and understand COMPLETELY where he's coming from. There are some people in our lives that we really WOULD be better off without- sometimes even a parent, sadly enough. What you said about them never coming back is certainly true, but in some cases, that's actually a blessing. Believe me, I am still waiting for the day I get that call from my mom, just so I can finally let out the whoop of joy I've been saving for that day. Because some people really DO deserve it. Also, just some food for thought- not all parents are worthy of the name.....

I've been sleeping 2-3 hours a night for nearly a month. I haven't had serious sleep issues for a few years now, so this is really bringing me down. I haven't gotten to the point where I'm mentally shutting down during the day yet, but I can feel it coming on. Sleep is the wooooorst.

And I guarantee you will be emotional for reasons you may not be able to reconcile when your father dies. Guarantee it. Regardless of how you feel about him right now.

You can't say you won't because you have not experienced it.

And my impression of Mewmeow is that (s)he is very young. 11 I think. There's a lot of childish angst over stuff that won't be understood until age and wisdom sets in.

You shouldn't judge me on what I've said until you yourself have actually been through it. Right now your words are empty and meaningless to me.


Eta: (because it doesn't just grind my gears, it pisses me off). No one "deserves" to die. No one. And IMO anyone who would say that needs to take a long hard look at themselves.

Yes. I don't trust him. I hate him. And my sis actually likes him, so he has to come in my house.
I haven't done anything worse then yell at his. I'm trying to ignore his existence, and it would be way more easy for everyone in my family if he just died. His wife is pretty much rich, and my family is broke. I agree with you on this. Joy would burst out of me if that happened. But hey, my birthday is Wednesday so I have something to be happy about.

[Katie]

I sincerely hope that both of you have better reasons to hate your respective parents than a divorce or differing opinions on social issues.

Divorce sometimes is the best thing for all involved. Kids rarely get the whole and true story. If someone doesn't accept yor beliefs or your stance on social issues and you wish death on them that is more messed up than anything that person did or said to you.

I know people who were abused by parents who still feel emotion when they die. It's human to. If you feel nothing I'm sincerely sad for you. You must have a miserable life devoting that much time to hate.

[Powder]

Your loss is a terrible thing but it doesn't make you the morality police. You may be right when it comes to an 11 year old holding a grudge over matters they're not keen to, but it doesn't work across the board. If someone gets raped or beaten by a parent & doesn't cry when they die, that doesn't make them a sad or monstrous person. There are many unique circumstances that those other than the one enduring it really have no place to judge.

[ZariusTwo]

Just got another message on my visitor board from someone who only ever seems to chat with me whenever I say Marvel movies are not "all that", he perceives it as "instigating", when I see it as just expressing an admittedly unpopular opinion. This really achieves nothing, does'nt make me change my opinion, makes me think even less of Marvel fanboys, and just makes me want to keep doing it because it pisses them off that I can see the Emperor is naked and they can't.

I am not a guy who hates everything Marvel does (as much as I get bent out of shape with what's done with Spider-Man, I still get kicks out of Ms. Marvel, Silver Surfer, FF, X-Men, and the Spidey newspaper strip), and I like some of their movies, I just have not been impressed all that much with Phase II is all, I like Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D and Winter Soldier so far out of everything I've been subjected to from that period. That's it. I know it's the in-thing to regard criticism of Marvel as blasphemy, but the toxic extent of how far the fanboys are willing to defend the current trend is making me less of a fan of their stranglehold on Hollywood with each passing minute.
