filial piety
Your best bet is honestly to stay away from the goddamn news.
Stop relying on that little time clock in the lower right hand corner of the TV during the morning news - this a result of hiding the giant digital clock that can basically be read from the moon - which of course became the bane of your existence after many a restless night staring at it’s neon numbers praying for sleep….
I wept the other morning when I heard of the Mother that dropped her kids to safety during an armed invasion home robbery - she was killed moments later. I quickly changed the channel and heard about that little Caylee who may or may not still be alive - gritted my teeth and switched the channel again to hear about the cholera outbreak in Zambia.
You won’t win - so don’t even try. It’s best to go back to the old routine of leaving the TV off and setting your cell phone to ring in 30 minute increments.
WTF?!
I snuck out of work after the visit with the Mother and her son. I gathered my pumpkin pie and even found a pineapple upside down cake?! It was divine. I was so happy to crawl back into my hovel while it was pouring outside and squeal with sheer delight at NOT being at work NOR having any social obligations. Having enough sweets to feed a small country is also something to become deliriously happy about….
This is the life.
Insulate yourself from bad news.
Insulate yourself from the world by surrounding yourself with an additional plush layer of flesh from your bevy of sweets….
Ok, maybe that’s not the life.
My father writes me an e-mail yesterday talking some shit about buying a house together. WTF?! How does one go from 0 to 60 in a matter of seconds? Pressure.
He’s putting pressure on me to conform to what he wants… not much different than when I was a kid. He MAKES me do things - back then he was bigger than me and very scary. Now he’s old and feeding off of the fact that I’m dumb enough to still communicate with him after ALL we’ve been through. It’s quite sickening really.
But now, let’s not dwell on the unthinkable. It just wouldn’t be right.
Now now dearest,
have another piece of
pineapple
upside down cake.

Enjoy your Thanksgiving treats wholeheartedly!
I am not a fan of television and especially the ‘news’ on television which is so sensationalized, full of these horrible ‘human interest’ stories.
I prefer the radio for music, or iTunes, or if I want to watch something, a movie on DVD…
have a nice thanksgiving
