Why Is It ...

… that adulthood is the most annoying hood I’ve ever lived in?

… that when I hear the words “take out” I think food, dating and murder, but not necessarily in that order?

… that I don’t wanna party like it’s 1999 but I kinda want to go grocery shopping like it’s 1999?

… that the Bible says “Love thy neighbor”—it’s literally a Commandment—and yet so many so-called “Christians” conveniently ignore that part?

… that drag queens and trans youth aren’t the ones shooting up bowling alleys and schools, but instead it’s straight white men?

… that people ask me if I snowboard when everyone knows I only charcutier board?

… that sometimes I think my greatest accomplishment is keeping my mouth shut?

… that in order for you to insult me, I would first have to value your opinion?

… that some people call it multi-tasking while I call it doing something else while I try to remember what I was doing in the first place?

  2. Don't get me started on those bibles! Excuse me now while I multi-task.

  3. I laughed about the last one though I might add: Why is acceptable for people to go along with the sexist myth that only women are capable of "multi-tasking"?

  5. Keeping my mouth shut has been a huge accomplishment in my life. There are times though.
    Totally agree that 1999 prices would make shopping so much easier!

  8. I've never cared for that commandment to 'LOVE' thy neighbour. It's such a hard one to act out when it's not defined exactly in what respect the 'L' word means. Much easier to understand would have been "Don't do to others what you wouldn't want done to oneself". More words but a lot simpler, and an attitude to which we can all relate. There you are, God. Why didn't YOU think of it? Too busy?

    Ya know, it would be great if that old testament god had commanded love thy neighbor, but that was Jesus' interpretation...."1st love god and 2nd love thy neighbor." The first four of that god guy's commandments were love me, love me, love me, and love the day of the week I set aside for you to love me even more! That guy was really needy and insecure!

  10. There's a whole strain of Christian thinking that believes God is actually angry and vengeful, and we have misinterpreted and softened his message over the centuries. Don't get me started on that, but some people believe it.

  11. Adulthood is a trap, turn back when you can.
