Get A Clue.

Excuse me...   I'm sorry..  It's not my fault..  I didn't mean to...

We all come up with words to express ourselves after things don't turn out as we plan... but people will use the same lines over and over again.. and think that just because they say that.. that it is all okay.  Words don't change our actions.. words are cheap.. we can come up with as many words to say why we did or didn't do something.. but the fact remains that we did.. or didn't do it.. and we will probably repeat the same actions.  There tends to be a focus on ...well.. I didn't know that was going to happen.. or.. I didn't plan on this.. tough... we need to all build in a bit more of a buffer to allow for a few things to go wrong.  I have worked for awhile to either create buffers in my life.. or refrain from some activities altogether.  I really have very little sympathy for anyone anymore.. because people choose to be the way they are.. I don't like excuses.. I don't want anyone to ever say ...I'm sorry to me.. or I didn't mean to.. just change your behavior if you really didn't mean to.. don't do it again... but people will do something... suffer the consequences.. and then turn around and do it again... and again... and again.. I think there's too much of that in the world today.. I think people really cannot see themselves.. they have no clue.. and maybe I might fall into that category.. who knows?  I have observed so many people doing destructive behaviors.. or even behaviors that put them in a position to be hurt.. or have things go completely wrong for them.. and they are clueless.. wanting to blame everything and everyone else for their misfortune.  Maybe I just can't see my own behaviors.. and my own actions.  I'm not ignorant enough to believe that there might just be many things in my life that I still do that cause issues.  I try not to blame others... or at least share the blame.. because when I let others into my life.. and I get hurt.. I should know the characters I've observed.. and it's my fault for expecting more from them... I want to believe the best in people so often.. that I set myself up for a major disappointment. ...I'm not talking about relationships, specifically.  I am just talking about interaction in general... Things happen.. and people get upset.. trying to point the finger elsewhere... sure.. situations occur that put us in predicaments.. but when it happens again and again.. it kinda weeds out the possibility of the blame falling elsewhere.. and most everyone just can't see it...

Not In My Lifetime.

It's 1:15 am.. I just got back from my niece's wedding.. and it was.. different .. not what I was used to.. but nice all the same..  I only have this to say about the reception... WTF!!! l guess I should give a bit of background information... my spouse wandered off doing her own thing.. as I prefer it that way... so when I happen to come into close proximity of her by accident.. she motions me over.. and has been talking to the head of the catering company... they have been talking for awhile.. and in a short period of time.. they have been getting to know each other a bit..   as I approach.. this woman.. who's name is the same as my spouse.. is saying.. "I just seem to know him.. he looks like John.. somebody"  My spouse then starts with a sales pitch of how great of a guy I am.. and what I do teaching computers.. and this woman starts striking up a conversation with me in front of my spouse.. she even talks about how handsome I am...   she mentions that she i...

Something I Have Learned Well.

It's odd how we interact with others on so many levels... one would assume by my wide range of references that I have a large assortment of friends.. In all actuality, the people in my circle of friends could be counted on my hands.. and close friends... well..  easily on one hand. I'm not what I would consider a social butterfly... but to be honest.. I sometimes like crowds.. I enjoy having groups of people around me.. I don't stick out like a sore thumb.. and sometimes getting lost in the rest of the world... isn't such a bad thing. How often do you go and "people watch" ....and then think about those people once you're gone... not very often, I'm guessing.. not unless one did something completely out of the ordinary.  I just like having the feeling that I'm normal.. an ordinary person... I just sat here in this chair for most of the weekend.. not really accomplishing anything.. nothing constructive by any means... I feel as though maybe I'm...

I'm Looking Forward To A New Year.

Been through ice the last few days... lots of time to take off between now and the end of the year... but I will get it in. I tend to not worry about much of anything lately. There's no need.. life is perfect... or at least headed in a perfect direction. I am still irritated at my boss and don't feel that I can truly talk to her without wanting to slap some sense into her... and I'm not a violent person... I don't like the feelings she provokes in me. I haven't felt those feelings before. I would never contemplate seriously hurting anyone on purpose... but with her.. I just want answers... show me WHY you would do such a thing. Not a whole lot I can do about it now.. I will just ride it out until I can go elsewhere... it won't be much longer anyway. I got new glasses yesterday. They are the first plastic frames I've had in 30+ years... black and simple. I actually am growing to like them in a hurry. I spent my time driving to and from the city on the phone...
