a rant

if you think this post is about my diego, then you are wrong.  (believe me, my diego is my fave subject to write about.  but i got to rant, too, at least once in a while.)

i have chewed, chomped and gnawed on this for a few days, and decided it is time to spit and spew it out.  i could talk to you in words and terms that might make you think, "wow, she's smart".  but i have found that when i am really bothered by something, angry at someone, it is better to speak the way i do when i mean something.  bald ass plainly!

and i mean this!

so here's my rant:

i have been reading about and watching lots of people the last little bit.  unhappy, miserable and forlorn people.  people who think they are above other folks.  not just here in the blogs and things i read online, but in the real world, too.

and it is stuck in my craw.  these people who think they know more than other people.  who think other people do not have the talent they have.  people who criticize, condemn and disparage ad nauseum what other people do or are, in a vicious, nasty and belittling way.  people who get their chuckles, chortles and giggles, or make themselves feel better, by insulting, wounding and slighting, and putting other folks down.

it torques my jaw.  irritates and infuriates me.  what a waste of time i think to myself while i read or listen to their shit.

if you have a legitimate gripe and grievance, spit it out. air it.  get it off your back.  better yet, come out!  stop hiding!  show your face or whatever it is called!  but do not keep tearing other people down because you need it to make yourself feel better, or to justify yourself as a human being (a term i use loosely).

because this is the way it is:

if you have something to share with the world, then stop bitching and show us what you have.  there is room enough for all of us on this blue marble.  we do not have to tear each other down to have our own space.

constructive criticism is good.  i believe it makes us try better at what we choose to do.  it improves the voice we are trying to share with the world, in whatever form we choose to share.  i also believe those people who cannot take it should not be throwing barbs.  those barbs turn into boomerangs, people, and they come back and smack your own ass!

waste time bitching about what other people have, how they do things, how they got there, how stupid they are, how untalented they are and on and on. . .and you are wasting time you could be doing something with your OWN life.

enough of that now.  i am usually upbeat and silent about most things.  i am usually and only writing about the diego in my life.  but once in a great while, i rant.

so hear me out!

ps.  ilysm!  thank you for the colours!  bwahahaha!
