kicking and screaming, because sometimes you just have to.

Have you ever just had like a two or three week period where, at the beginning, you find yourself only mildly annoyed - yet by, lets call it Tuesday - July 22, 2008 - You are so completely irritated at everything around you that you find it's probably better to just shut up and keep your head down before you say something you'll regret?

I obviously am not heeding my own advice, but I'll try to keep the rage under control. You know, for the ******* kids.

Gaming : I don't know what it is, I've complained and whined about all this before - but I'm in a serious funk. All this "E3" nonsense is not even remotely interesting to me anymore. I watched all of a combined 18 seconds of the coverage and was bored in less than that. Flipping through my latest issue of GameInformer, every story I see is yet another article on how great some upcoming FPS will be, and consequently I shuffle the pages saying out loud to myself as I pass each FPS rundown "boring, boring, boring, boring, boring" That's really what it comes down to I guess. BORING.

Drama : This crap has managed to creep it's way into every aspect of my life. Career, personal, online.. it's EVERYWHERE. I can't stand this soap opera of "I'm going to Giant Bomb because GS is t3h suxxorZ" That's fine, do what you want. Come back and say hi sometime, but all this constant "I'm leaving foreverz because of (whatever)" is getting real old, real fast. Meanwhile at work a superior is making my CO-WORKERS lives a living hell, not MINE - theirs, and yet - it is AFFECTING me there so much, that it stays with me ALL THE TIME NOW. At home, trying to get my mind off of the OTHER crap I'm dealing with, what pops in there? WORK. **** that.

Whoever the hell vandalized my car: **** you too.

The last few weeks have been a real rough ride, one of my good friends was killed by a drunk driver, that same week my car got broken into, and someone ripped the fuse box apart and destroyed my electrical system, so I didn't have a car for several days there, crap at work, crap at home, crap in my head. I've lost interest in my only real hobby, (I'll assume that's temporary) there's probably at least 10 other things I can add and.... and I just realized that I REALLY hate it when people endlessly smack their gum.

Now if you'll excuse me I have to go remove someone's gum from their mouth. With a hammer.
