Is everyone nuts or is it just me?

Thankyou Squishy for your last comment. And I was wondering if anyone was actually checking out the blog. J more advertising man...
Today's topic?

What the fuck is up with people?

This is mean as non offense to my best friend, but the longer this year goes on the more I wonder a few things...

1) Does everyone in their thirties suddenly say shit I don't know what I want/ need, my life sucks?
2) If the answer is yes is it in the water? On cable? In the food? The water system?
3)What begins a midlife crisis anyway?
4) Is the year 2005 the year of nuerotic, selfish, fucked up,self destructive behavior?
5)If the answer is yes, how long do you keep your arms inside the vehicle before it comes to a complete and total stop?
6) What the hell happened to people who had a conscience? Do these people excist anymore?
7) If treating those who hurt you the most with kindness and mercy, compassion and understanding, is there ever a point where one sees the benefits of not being a jerk?
8)What happens if the battery runs out on the hard hat you happen to be wearing when searching for light at the end of the tunnel?
9) If communication is key how the hell you do it to someone that is so lost within themselves and their own self interests and how do you do it constructively?
10) Where are my carkey's?

Anyone has an opinion let me know....

Yes, everyone is nuts.
Yes, it's just you.

In my own defense (Ha!) I didn't JUST suddenly not know what I want. I have never really known what I wanted.

As for me currently.

I am a guest at my own house. I am NOT seen as an equal. I am NOT seen as a father, or even stepfather. I am "That guy that lives here and pays for some stuff"

I am a room mate.

This has just added to my confusion in life. If what I have is what I thought I needed and wanted i.e. stability, someone to love, someone who loves me, I have not found what I needed.

I believe I found someone who did not want to be alone and I was better than that.

I however, as you now, am quite used to being alone. It sucks sometimes, but lots of times I WOULD rather be alone.

I know you sitch SUCKS, but please don't project the same sitch on me. You're my friend, maybe the only REAL friend I've ever had, so go ahead and call me am ass when I'm an ass, but this time you have started ripping on me without hearing the whole story.

Um....somebody just asked me a question here at work and I lost me rant!

I'll talk atcha later and you can rip me then or whatever.

Just like old times eh bro?
LOL!

J. Wasn't ripping on you man, actually the post wasn't directed to you, but you just gave me a topic to post though...LOL and yeah just like old times.

The question was actually venting to people like Ann, this Chick named Christy, This chick named Roxanne, and this chick named Melissa. All four of these women, are having the midlife crisis thing, all are doing incredibly stupid self destructive stuff, and all are in same way or another affecting not only themselves but the people around them.

Just to say again man I wasn't attacking you or your position on things, and know only too well the unfulfillment of feeling like just a room mate. Now I am nothing at all. Or at least that is how these last couple of months have been.

And I get pissed especially at Ann because when it comes right down to it, she may be able to fool herself into thinking, well I have my house, and the things in it are mine these are my children, I have freedom blah blah blah, it's unnerving, to realize that the way she sees things are in I's like there was no one around helping her the past nine years, or loving her, or supporting her, and even to this day when it comes to her freedom, it's an illusion because while her actions may be by her own will, the circumstances are not, by her will alone. But She is dependent on everyone. Social Services, the kids, her parents, the boy toy,her friends who are generous enough to help out and of coarse me SO in a really real logical approach how the hell does that make her free? Or for that case independent? The thing that I don't get is when you engage in behaviors like this and you have been proven to have somewhat of a conscience, how long before you get to the point and you go, shit I'm fucking over everyone...and in this situation it's like that. But no dude my anger or my post wasn't directed at you. It was mostly directed at her. I just don't get it. I understand that people don't work out, I understand, that people grow apart, especially if people are engaging in self destructive behaviors and are trying to find themselves. But at times I feel it's my calling in life to be the lesson of Ann's life...and it's a position I didn't ask for nor want nor need. I wanted the same thing you mentioned. To be loved to be respected, to be needed, to be a good parent,husband and Dad to the kids...the extraneous bullshit and that is what is is Bullshit, I didn't ask for nor did it appear in the small print...

I had to deleted that last post as i broke my "i won't bitch about him" code in a big way.

Anyway, yes, this year is my "annus horibilis" (that's latin) - the most horrible year of my life.

I think almost every person who has turned 30 this year has freaked out one way or another - and i am not sure why it is THIS year. I've beeh thru hell and back this year in many many differing ways, and i just don't get why I couldn't even get ANY kind of support through any of it, even as a friend, let alone a partner. I don't get it. Human nature isn't that selfish is it?

Bring on 2006 in a big hurry - i'm in need of a new year, I think we all are :)

Your car keys are probably in the refrigerator or oven. They're the first two places I would look, because that's how scatterbrained I can be sometimes.
