Girls rule and Shakers drool

I’m at the beach on a perfectly glorious and sparkly day.  A day when the skies are blue, the water is clear, a slight breeze is blowing to keep the air comfortable as the bright sun warms my bathing suit clad body and…

I have to pee.  I have to pee so badly that I’m doing the pee dance on the beach, which is covered with spring breakers who are open mouthed gaping at me.  I have to pee so badly that I’m singing songs about peeing to my friend as she sits on the beach chair next to me trying to hide. I have to pee like I just drank a quart of vodka (because I did).   Normally I would just go in the ocean to handle my urine dilemma but because it’s still early on in the beach season, I cannot.  The water is the temperature of melting icicles.  The water is so cold that even the kids aren’t in it.  I am not freezing off my hoo-ha to pee with the fishes.  Wait…

 

I’m in luck.  Just behind on us on the beach is a local bar/restaurant.  I can pee there.  Yay, I can pee, I can pee, I can peeeeeeee.  I grab my beach bag, make my friend rise from her hiding spot, and hobble over to the pee place because my legs are clenched as to prevent leakage.  Up the stairs we go, through the bar, and head to the bathroom only to find…a pee line; a pee line with about 6 people waiting.  Don’t these people know how badly I have to let loose?  Apparently not because I’m now being told that there is one line for 2 toilets.  I might have to squat right here and pee in the line. Wait, it’s moving a little bit so I’ll just keep on hopping from one foot to the other - In my bathing suit - In a bar.  Standing here jiggling my wares, the line is inching closer to the actual potty place and I see that one of the bathrooms is designated shakers.  Yes, it’s I exactly what I think it is.  It’s the dude’s toilet room.  We are sharing the shitters.  I’m completely good with that.  I’ll take a bucket, please and thank you.  Just move this damn line.  Please. 

I’m the next person in line.  I’m the next person in line.  YIPPEEEE, I get to pee soon!  At last, a woman is exiting from the shakers bathroom and I’m running toward the door and…bam.  Some shaker is pushing his way passed me yelling “I’m glad I ain’t a girl” in what he thinks is a cutesy sing-song voice.  Wait, what?  What just happened?  What in the actual fuck just happened? I’m looking at my friend because she is a big ole gun toting, scary bitch.  She’s drunk.  She’s got nothing.  I have to handle this.  I chase that dirty shaker right into the bathroom and scream directly into his shit eating grin wearing face that we are all waiting in this line for whichever bathroom opens next so we can squeeze out our business.  This bitch is laughing, well not just laughing, drunk assed guffawing.  I will sit my ass down on this toilet and pee right in front of this monkey-toed ass-wipe.  Wait, he’s pushing the door shut with me on the outside.  Shit, shit, shit. I lost.  I’m just going to stand outside the bathroom door and taunt him the entire time he’s doing his thing and while he’s leaving the bathroom and now as he walks through the even longer line of wanna-be pee-ers.  The pee-ers are clapping and yelling and calling him names.  Solidarity amongst the bathroom crew is die-hard. 

 

Shit.  In all the excitement, I DIDN’T PEE.  I’m standing here watching as some other shaker just went into my bathroom.  He just walked right in there.  The bathroom I had just fought acted like a complete ass for is no longer mine.  As a tiny bit of pee leaks into my bathing suit bottom, I think to myself it sucks to be a girl.

I'm an asshole and I have an opinion

In my opinion…opinions don’t matter

The definition of an opinion is: a view or judgment formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge.

Don’t hate me.  I don’t know.  My opinions get me in trouble. 

I don’t know what I think.  I don’t know what I believe.  I’m not even sure I believe it.
Maybe I’m a fake, a phony, a hypocrite, a liar.   I don’t know. 

My opinions are strong.  That’s me, opinionated.  I always have been.  Since I was a child I’ve known exactly what I liked or didn’t like about a situation, a person, a hairstyle, clothes, ideas and I’m quick to share them with anyone who will listen. Are my opinions right?  Can opinions be right or wrong?  Who cares?  I don’t.  They’re just opinions and I have no fucking clue.

*Note – because of my strong and what are considered somewhat negative opinions, I am learning to keep most of them to myself (meds) but when asked, I am truthful and might go a bit too far.  

I have hated Taylor Swift for so long that I no longer remember why.  My passionate un-love for karaoke and the people who sing it is so deep that you’d think I had a parent killed in an untimely karaoke accident.  People who watch shows like the Bachelor and Bachelorette make me want to punch them.  Why are my opinions on such trivial matters so strong?  In reality, I don’t care if you sit in your underwear, on fire, and participate in any of these activities. 

 My opinions are important to me, I think.  They were at least important to me at one time.  Deep down I wonder if still actually believe them or do I just repeat them because it’s what I know. 

I will create an opinion based on my relationship with person requesting my opinion, or based on my personal reaction to the question.  How did the question make me feel on that particular day? My opinions are based on attitude, emotions, thoughts, nothing.  It depends.  I change my opinion constantly.  It keeps me busy. 

I cannot stand her. Will she ever shut up? I want to stab her in the eye with my fork, repeatedly. What is in her hair? What’s wrong with her toes? She’s fatter than me.  Does she have a mirror? Those shoes are ugly. Her husband is an asshole too. I bet their marriage won’t last. How does he put up with her nagging ass? I bet they never have sex. Why are these people talking to me? 

-          Opinions floating in my cranium within 15 seconds of meeting someone new

Totally close minded opinions but because of the situation or my mindset at the time, I hate her and I hate her stupid husband too.

I will totally answer a question in regards to my opinion with a sarcastic and totally false answer because I think it’s funny.  Is this lying?  I don’t think it so because I know it’s true and that’s really all that counts, I think. 

 For example, a simple question at party –

Q: “What’s your opinion on porn”? (This would totally happen in my circles)

A: “The only porn I watch is the porn I star in”.

I will continue to have a 20 minute in-depth conversation in regards to porn; neither pro nor con, just information.  People who know me will know that is totally me being a complete asshole.  It’s what I do. The problem is that I have no problem flapping my facehole with strangers who do not understand the glory and complexity of the asshole that is me so these people have now formed the opinion that I am a porn queen.  I am not.  I don’t watch porn, I’m not a porn advocate, and I’ll even go as far as to say that I’m completely against porn.  Or am I?  Regardless, I go for the joke and sometimes I pay for it later because I’m forced to stick with that opinion because, eeh gads, I don’t want to be labeled a hypocrite.  Alas, people continue to think I am who I am not. 

My opinions are important to me, I think.  They were at least important to me at one time.  Deep down I wonder if still actually believe them or do I just repeat them because it’s what I know. 

My snap judgment opinions are often times mood based.  Totally fucked but I can’t help it.  Say its day 1 of the pre-shark-week battle in my uterus and I casually get asked what I think of a restaurant.  My answer will be something to the effect of “I don’t have money for restaurants” or “I don’t give a shit about food” said with a snarly growl and saliva dripping from my fangs.  I’m pretty sure this isn’t nice and I will usually apologize later and reopen the subject for discussion.  Sometimes it does get skipped over and these people are left believing that I hate my favorite get-my-grub-on place because…vagina. I need a warning sign or a shirt that says “Don’t ask me shit” for these days.  It’s no fault of the question asker but when I’m in a mood, nobody goes unscathed.  My opinions are scary as hell during my wrath. 

If some mouth breathing jack-wagon I barely consider asks my opinion on something, they are going to get a bullshit answer and I don’t give a rat’s ass if they believe me.  This can be a boss, a mutual friend, a co-worker, or someone I know casually.  I will answer the question like the asshole that I am.  I mean let me be honest here, if some fuck-nugget is asking me about a bar that I like, the opinion I give of that bar will be false.  Do I want to see aforementioned fuck-nugget chugging a cold one at a place where I hang; trying to chat me up while I’m enjoying a night out with the girls; obtaining the knowledge that I drink and swear more than the average trucker? Hell.  No.   In addition, if said person asks what I think about anything, I will totally make up some bizarre opinion just to fuck with them.  Remember, I don’t like this person. They can think I believe in candy cane people, ghost fucking, and the curse of the horse cock.  It’s not my job to care what they think.  This too, gets me knee deep in the hoopla.   

Don’t hate me.  I don’t know.  My opinions get me in trouble. 

I don’t know what I think.  I don’t know what I believe.  I’m not even sure I believe it.
Maybe I’m a fake, a phony, a hypocrite, a liar.   I don’t know. 

I have been known to take the opposite opinion of someone just to be different.  I am a fan of playing devil’s advocate. This causes my opinions to be misconstrued.  Misconstrued by people because people are stupid.  Yes that’s my opinion, a fairly accurate one but my opinion all the same.  Just because I take the opposing side in a discussion does not mean that I necessarily agree with the opposing side.  Hello, dumbass.  If I am to be completely honest, I have been known to come off with “Oh, I love that” just because it’s not your thing.  I’m not saying its right or even sane, I’m just saying that I’ve done it and I’m sure I’ll do it again. 

Sometimes I just give absolutely zero shits about the subject being discussed and instead of shutting my fat mouth, I do it. I do that thing where I shout out to the world (or a few people) my opinion based on totally nothing. “I totally hate that and I think you’re an asshole for liking it”.  Not only do I give my opinion on the subject I will also make you feel a douche for your opinion, just because. These are the opinions I vehemently defend because when I make up shit, I’m going to back up my shit.

Don’t hate me.  I don’t know.  My opinions get me in trouble. 

I don’t know what I think.  I don’t know what I believe.  I’m not even sure I believe it.
Maybe I’m a fake, a phony, a hypocrite, a liar.   I don’t know. 

More often than not I get off my ass and base an opinion on actual thought and information.  (I care about stuff) These opinions are not to be confused with fact because interpretations of information are subjective.  Most people do not comprehend this simple concept. If it’s a fact; it is not an opinion. An opinion can be based on some facts.  Wake up, John Q Public, and pull your oversized head out of your ass.  When it comes to subjects like politics, religion, current events, and news, I believe people’s opinions should be based on knowledge gained through research and some facts.  In order to have an intelligence based conversation that includes opinions, I prefer to be aware of some shit. If your opinion in these instances is based on some bullshit story you heard in the lunchroom at work, on social media or that you were told by your granny on her deathbed?  I have no patience for you and I will not engage. 

My opinions are important to me, I think.  They were at least important to me at one time.  Deep down I wonder if still actually believe them or do I just repeat them because it’s what I know. 

I am not usually (never) open to other people’s opinions.  I don’t give a fuck what you think.  Sure I’ll listen and nod my head and I might even value your opinion but that’s what it is, your opinion. I’ve created my opinions and they’re what I believe.  If you believe something different than I do, that’s great.  Don’t go all door-to-door religion salesperson on me.  Sometimes, (All the time) I change my opinions.  It’s human nature, I think.

Don’t hate me.  I don’t know.  My opinions get me in trouble. 

I don’t know what I think.  I don’t know what I believe.  I’m not even sure I believe it.
Maybe I’m a fake, a phony, a hypocrite, a liar.   I don’t know. 

My opinions while loud, snarky, bitchy, often totally off base, sometimes frightening, and most times total bullshit, are still my opinions. Do not take them literally and don’t get all freaked out about them.  Don’t sweat anybody’s opinion for that matter.  If you don’t want or can’t handle an opinion, don’t ask for it. Depending on my mood (no meds), you might still get mine. Remember, opinions change.  Does it make us all hypocrites?  Even though I think I don’t know, I don’t think so.  And so what if it does.  It’s only an opinion. 

• Tea in a can tastes like ass
• I love cake and ice cream
• Books should be bound or they aren’t books
• Country music blows dead hobos
• I prefer short hair on both men and women
• I believe that most romance movies are corny, unbelievable, and boring
• Animal hair is unsanitary and it skeeves me
• I believe there is good in people
• I think karma is real
• Life is too short for fake cheese
• My favorite color is brown
• Epic, douche canoe, cray cray, bae, boo, and awesome sauce, are overused and ridiculous
• Valentine’s Day, Grandparent’s Day, Sweetest Day, Kid’s Day and all the other made up days are bullshit, not holidays
• People who base their political beliefs on what they’ve heard and not what they know to be true, are fucking idiots
• People who put too much faith into organized religion are scary
• I don’t understand people who say that water tastes badly
• Real butter; there is no substitute
• In some weight-loss before/after pictures I prefer the before
• In most instances I don’t find tattoos attractive
• Barry Manilow pumps my non-existent gonads 

These are my opinions.  Might they piss you off?  Might they be totally ridiculous?  Sure. Suck it and move on. 

The definition of an opinion: a view or judgment formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge.

Oh, and I would be remiss if I didn’t throw this out there: “Opinions are like assholes, everybody’s got one and everyone thinks everyone else’s stinks”.  – While corny and lame (my opinion), there’s a reason it was created. 

I don’t know if there are others who think like I do but if you don’t, do me a favor and keep your opinions to yourself.

Pissed and it's my fault

Today I am pissed. 

Not like most days when I wake up with something to bitch about.  It’s not like that at all.  Today I am pissed with myself.  I try like hell to keep my name out of other’s mouths.  I do.  I avoid people, I avoid conflict, and I avoid bullshit.  As soon as something gets bull-shitty?  I’m out. 

Today I am pissed because I allowed myself to get involved with bullshit. I try to be two things, honest and nice.  I try my best not to hurt people’s feelings.  I may not be the most patient person and after I down a few, I’ll tell you exactly what I think about you but only if you ask. I’m nice until it’s time not be nice.  I will treat you how you treat me.  I am pissed because I don’t even like doing that.  I’m just done.  My time shouldn’t be wasted with superfluous and mundane bullshit that’s passed off as being “adult”

I am tired of being nice to people that I can’t stand because it’s supposed to be mature.  Fuck that.  I don’t find it mature to spend time with people I can’t stand.  I find it nonsensical, useless, and a waste of time.  When I’m invited to a social gathering and fucks I wouldn’t trust to use my bathroom are attending, I don’t want to play. 

I understand the art of being nice in work situations or in public situations.  That’s a given. I put my phony face on and wear that shit all damn day.  There are people I have to deal with because of a marriage and people I have to fake it with for work but I will no longer spend my precious free time with people I want to set on fire.  Am I immature?  I don’t think so.  I think I’m smart.  I think I’m a time saver. 

The whole pretending to like someone for another person doesn’t work.  In fact, it fucked with part of my weekend.  I missed out on some good times with fantastical friends because I believed a lie.  I actually believed that someone gave a shit about my feelings and was giving me a lil respect.  Not so much.  I was expected to hang with people I don’t dig, lie about not digging them, and take the backseat to them.  No. 

I missed out on seeing two people I adore.  I didn’t go to a party I was invited to.  I didn’t go to one of my favorite band’s gig.  I didn’t do any of these things because, people.  I hate people.  Every damn I try to step outside the box a dumb motherfucker crushes the box.  Now there are useless fucks out there with my name on their tongue.  My beautiful name on nasty, twisted tongues because I tried to be honest and nice.  Nicely & honestly telling people that I have no use for them in my life would have had two-fold positivity:

1 – I wouldn’t be pissed today

2 – You could be eating chicken & waffles instead of reading this

I’m not sorry that I don’t want to deal with certain people.  That’s my choice.  It’s not that often that I open my tiny circle and head to a public setting.  When I do, it must be with people I respect, can laugh with, and who just completely rock.  If I leave my comfort zone, it’s to have a kickass time with people I enjoy.  There’s no other reason.  Not to pick up men, not to argue, not to avoid, not to be hidden, and it’s for damn sure not so I can be a phony, plastic, bitch.   It’s to enjoy myself; period, end of story.

I am an adult and I hate kids

I am an adult.

 

I hate kids.

The diapers, the vomit, the baby wipes, the lack of sleep, trying to understand their non-verbal signals, the anxiety, the helplessness, the feedings, the wishing their pain could be taken away

I hate kids.

The tantrums, the odors, the crying, the whining, the questions, the sniveling, the shouting, the nightmares, the backtalk, the messiness

I hate kids.

Telling them no, punishments, homework, teaching, listening, lying to them, lying for them, protecting them

 

I hate kids.

School pick-up lines, fulfilling their every need, sleepovers, explaining death, giving them freedom

I hate kids.

Untangling of knots, shoe tying, their lack of listening, sneaking, pickiness, stubbornness, incessant gibberish, loudness, irritability, attitude

I hate kids.

Teaching them bicycle riding and kissing boo-boos, spending money on their toys and games that are played with for 3 days and then hidden amongst the dust bunnies under the bed, morning wake-ups, buying clothes that they pick out only to find the clothes buried along with the useless toys

I hate kids.

Losing of shoes, socks, hats, and other pieces of clothing, sticky surfaces in every room of the house, hair filled brushes, toothpaste in the sink, indescribable gunk in the bathtub that will never, ever come off

 I hate kids.

 
Paint, crayon, and pen on the walls, crayons left in the hot care that melted into the interior, the unknown goo that takes over the handle of every item with a handle, watching them walk and watching them fall
 

I hate kids.

Messy, uncombed hair, the dirty fingernails, the stinky feet, teaching them to read, seeing them fail, explaining life

I hate kids.

 

Mean kids, teaching them to defend themselves, listening to the same song over and over, watching the same movie over and over, playing the same game over and over, singing the same rhymes over and over

 

I hate kids.

The birds and the bees, gym class, being happy, teaching life’s lessons, embracing independence, overcoming embarrassment, becoming a successful member of society

I hate kids.

Long explanations, disapproval of choices, decision making triumphs, arguments, growing up

I hate kids.

Being in bed by 10pm because the kid will be awake by 6am, not being able to go out with friends on a school night because mom duty takes priority, not being able to party like a rock star because those damn kids need a parent, being responsible

 

I hate kids.

 

I hate it all and yet I wouldn’t drag my ragged, overworked ass out of bed each morning without expecting it.

The sheer innocence of my child, the not knowing that each of these things is slowly driving me insane is what keeps me from trading her to a stranger for half a candy bar and a postage stamp.

Having a child has forced me to accomplish things I never thought I would.  I have looked at things differently than I ever have.  I have discovered creative ways to explain, teach, and assist my child.  I have become a person I never thought I would be.  My child comes first when I think and do.  My child has taken over my life.

 I hate kids.

My kid is a life sucking beast who will steal my last breath and my will to live.

And she is worth it.

I am an adult.
