“Everyone’s so politically correct these days.” “Political correctness has gone too far.” “Political correctness violates the First Amendment.” Please stop saying statements like these and find a better way to articulate yourself because you sound really, really ignorant. Politically correct is one of those terms that makes me cringe, not because of what it represents, but for how it’s [...] So despite my unsettled feelings about religion, I’m a huge fan of Christmas. I imagine it pisses some people off to know that I secularize such an important holiday, but I can’t help it. It has all of the elements that I love: gaudy decorations, days off of work and school, pretty music, funny movies, [...] Love, Actually is one of those movies that I don’t really like except for right around Christmas. Because of this, I don’t really want to invest in a copy of the DVD and it doesn’t seem to be on any of my cable channels. I’m having trouble accepting that it’s not available on Netflix’s instant [...] There isn’t anyone who is really in my life right now who is so poisonous that I regret our paths crossing. Because I’m just kind of crotchety, there are plenty of people who I don’t like but their importance in my life is basically null. At worst, they irritate me for a few minutes. At [...] I’m just going to blurt it out: I hope I never have to bury my child. Anything else in the world I could endure. That…I’m not sure that I could survive. Ahem. Anyway, to try to push that out of my head, a close second to that is that I hope I never have to take a [...] I really need to get my driver’s license. I’ve taken the test four times and failed each time. I can’t seem to get my mind past the fact that I hate driving, I hate obnoxious drivers, and I hate how strict they are about the test and fail me for imperfect parking but seem to just [...] The husband and I are not big Valentine’s Day people. Sometimes we do stuff to mark the occasion, but usually we don’t. This year, we had some tentative plans, but we got some bad news a few days beforehand and were just too bummed out to care. For whatever reason, the past few years, I’ve started [...] One of my quirky pet peeves is inefficiency. Specifically, inefficient packaging. As insignificant as a concern as this may be, I think it will start to have significant consequences as people rely more on e-commerce and shipping in terms of costs, both financial and environmental. So, for the baby’s birthday, I ordered (shh, don’t tell) this [...] Sometimes, when I’m sad like I’ve been, my sadness becomes more of me than I am. Like in Ghost when Whoopi Goldberg’s character lets spirits use her body. Sadness, with its bad posture and shitty clothes, jumps in and sometimes it’s like it gets really drunk and decides to go for a drive. (Note: I [...] This morning, I was feeling good, and I was all set to write this post about how I’ve been working hard on my outlook on life and our prospects for not being over-educated and destitute. But then, my mood changed again to angrily sad and foot-stompy. It might have something to do with the rain, [...]  |
