Do You Ever Just Wanna Say...

Rate: 32 Flag

 

Fuck this! Fucking fuck the fuck out of all of this?

Damn.

I missed another dusting dust up because my laptop was getting a colonoscopy by Sacramento people and offshore job hogging Hindus who cannot, at threat of losing their very essence of life, bicommunicate a simple concept for the love of God and to benefit the efficiency and comfort of a simple soul.

Sinking down into the warm and jasmine scented waters of a bathtub would be my fate right now if I were not so devoted to executing the revenge of a life lived well.

I mean it. I have the Hydrocodone Bitartrate,  the alcohol and the tub. I am only lacking the jasmine scent, but that is just a short walk or drive away at the CVS pharmacy. That place is closed right now and will not open up. 

I will not drive after having brandy. 

 Fuck fuck fuck it all!

 I don't own a gun so I can't blow my brains out, either.

And God and Jesus are watching so I have to live.

Fuck.

These thoughts come, ironic. They come at the end of months long battles, followed by the specter of new medical nightmares, just when I should be celebrating.

And self celebratory stuff like Valentines Day comes along to tell the entire world that we all have, at some point, failed the failures of the stuff of life, no matter how much we have to boast about.

And the jasmine scented tub and thoughts of helping myself through that door to oblivion seem perfectly reasonable.

Give the person who is suffering strong drink, they say.

Even being the comic offers no relief. Faith and positive belief are the only ropes that can climb me out of this hole.

 And I get thankful for not being an atheist. There is no envy of them whatsoever.

No amount of disbelief will give relief from the idea that we exist in a cold, uncaring and perfectly evil universe. (What a conundrum) Both the unbeliever and the believer must deal with an equal truth. 

Both types of us will fight like wildebeests to stay alive.

Welcome to my world. My world is sometimes completely electrical and ultraviolet as a malignant place that lies under the despicable rule of depression.

I will live because an idea exists in me and, with me and us all, something is in the works. As long as an idea exists and something is in the works, I become capable and stronger. 

The world takes on its normal coloration and expression. 

Then I eventually know joy.

And these thoughts and this discussion will not come up again for a while.

Here is the idea:

Do you ever just wanna say....?
Hell, yes!
I hope your world takes on its normal coloration and expression, and that you experience joy again as soon as possible. But I understand, sometimes we can't rush these things.
You are so right! That's my problem right now...it's going on a little too long...
sometimes i just decide to embrace the crazy wild colors while i wait for things to change.

and sometimes i just say Fuck this! Fucking fuck the fuck out of all of this.
(((Zuma))) atheist here, but praying for you all the same. I find prayer works whether you really believe in the Goddess/a God/ multiple Gods or not. Hope my good juju finds you feeling better and more hopeful.
Ah, Zuma, one of my oldest and truest OS friends, we're on the same damn page. I don't LIKE this fuckin' page, but here we are on it. What are we gonna do about it? I'll be in the San Francisco area from the end of February thru mid March and I'd love to see you while I'm out there. Waddaya think?
Reading all of your voices is like a cooling light that drags away the heat of the burdensome lightness.
Hy: yes. Prayer is like a great generator. We do thrive on the power.

naneh: You all in San Francisco? Oh hell yeah, no matter what!
Wishing you well.......

Sorry that your god lets you down. I know you expected better of it - probably still do. Remember, it's not the god you believe in that helps you go forward when the world dumps shit on your head; it's the faith and belief of "something better is ahead"; even when that doesn't make much sense either.

Some seem born to be believers. Some cannot be believers no matter how much they might try. Yet each gets rained on by the same storms and each wonders "why the fuck is this happening to ME?!!"

..........and believer & unbeliever alike get no answer......
;-)

Every fuck, fuck, fuckity, day
"I will live because an idea exists in me and, with me and us all, something is in the works. As long as an idea exists and something is in the works, I become capable and stronger." I get this and feel the same way.
"...fight like wildebeests..."

Please! Don't stereotype our furry friends! You should have said...

"...cooperate like wildebeest..." (No "s" on the plural!)

"Wildebeest have developed additional sophisticated cooperative behaviors, such as animals taking turns sleeping while others stand guard against a night attack by invading predators."

Or maybe "...decipher the messages of other species like wildebeests..."

"Wildebeest can also listen in on the alarm calls of other species, and by doing so can reduce their risk of predation. One study showed that along with other ungulates, wildebeests responded more strongly to the baboon alarm calls compared to the baboon contest calls even though both types of calls had similar patterns, amplitudes, and durations. "

And while humans just get stupider and stupider in crowds...

"Recent research has shown that a herd of wildebeest possesses what is known as a "swarm intelligence", whereby the animals systematically explore and overcome the obstacle as one."
To answer your question, yes. ~r
Ack. Like the puke flu, it comes around every now and then, and you just have to drag your blankie to the bathroom for awhile and lean into the heaves.

When not retching, it helps me to remember than in every challenge there is the possibility of a reward...
You may have missed one dustup but wait. There'll be another one along in 5 minutes. Hang in there, Zuma. Sending you thoughts and prayers because they truly do work, even on the fuckit days.
what lorianne said times a million, general. i'm one of your unenvied athiests but i love your jesus-worshipping ass anyway. xoxo
I haven't seen a dustup in a long time, I must have been blinking a lot.
I love a good rant especially if it has some joy in it.
rated with love
I'M HOGGING IT ALL!!!! ALL THE ICE CREAM!!! HISSSSSSSSSSSS!!!

Just kidding, you can have some too!!! ~hug~
I sure fucking do. You are one expressive and articulate wildebeast, Zuma. You inhabit a world very familiar to mine. Glad you can't blow your brains out

Please send me a link to this dust up asap!
I just do the best I can as I holler screw you..
HUGGGGGGGGGGG
This is base of a chiseled granite statue smart ; "Both the unbeliever and the believer must deal with an equal truth. "
Even in a deep funk you are capable of superb writing like this:
"My world is sometimes completely electrical and ultraviolet as a malignant place that lies under the despicable rule of depression."

I hear you, Zuma. In fact, I'm right there with you lately, without the distraction of "electrical and ultrviolet." February is like that, for some damned reason. But you've got this, Z. I know you have it.

Lezlie
yes I do. quite often.The tub sometimes looks very inviting..
Adding my prayers to yours and all the others for this crappy time to get on down the road!
((HUGS))
A string of cuss words and a room of friends. I hope it helps and that joy peeks through.
Well of course. And I don't really have any legitimate gripes. Except that I'm ancient and due to fucking DIE fuck it. Gotta drag me outta here flailing and screaming. Oh wait a minute, that's what I'm afraid of...

Meantime, I like the concept of your laptop getting a colonoscopy. (Does it produce the shit better now? Sorry, sorry, I didn't meant that - it was just a colonoscopy joke, not at all a Zuma joke.) (So why aren't I deleting it? Cuz, that's why.)

Maybe we all need colonoscopies. I know that after some unpleasant procedure, or an illness, or something nasty, I feel so much better that it's over that I mistake the euphoria for coming to terms with the universe. It can last for, oh, days at a time.
But then I've heard colonoscopies aren't all that bad, much worse in the anticipation. In which case WIN-WIN - it's *over*, and it wasn't all that bad. Where do I sign up? (Will it be at the hands of some cute offshore Hindu?) (We have a VERY cute Hindu doctor of our very own here at OS, conveniently located in Bahrain, or one of those places...)
don't mind me. i'm just following myriad around, reading her comments and laughing 'til i fall down. xoxo
I say it frequently. I started doing that in spades after I dabbled in politics and they hoisted me up to burn me at the conservative stake. Then, fortunately, my kids were old enough to know better and I had trained them well enough that I could say it whenever I felt like it. It was much better than therapy, trust me.
As always, YOU are the better writers and you do it all with comments!

I remember telling my more foul mouthed troops that the word "Fuck" is to be used like a strong spice...too much of it and it loses its savor...especially when toes get stubbed or major roadblocks won't fall down.

Thank you all for your great, wise and kind words. These will help a LOT. Now, let me go find a dustup for mixing it up. It's February, the second worst month of the year and we should all be in a big mashup.
Hmmmm...wildebeest is the plural of the beesties....

Sky: my God cannot let me down because my expectations of life are mine. I don't know who made us out to be God's commanding officers, but it's kind of the other way around and cannot be a narcissistic process.
Wow. I was expecting something completely different.

Yah, you gotta do it right. I have had those thoughts. Usually just before I take a hammer to something I shouldn't, or throw tools, tear up an important paper or rip out some important component in something I am supposed to be fixing.

I must not have done those right, because in each and every case, I felt regret later, not satisfaction.

Screaming at the Universe should end in some sense of satisfaction and that can only be had if done right.

As to my own last thoughts? Mmm. I thought about it, but it always boiled down to, is the this the last best joke, testament, argument or point I can make? Because once enacted, there's no changing my mind.

So I think now, that the best joke, testament, argument and point I can make is to stick it out, screaming to the powers that be that I'm mad as hell (certifiably probably) and I'm not gonna take it any more.

And in the words of Simon and Garfunkle:
There stands the fighter
Who carries with him the reminder
With every blow that has knocked him down or cut him to the quick
Until he yells out, in his anger and his shame,
I am leaving, I am leaving,
But the fighter still remains.

Tag team life, anyone?

--r--
Candace, I wish you'd said "laughing my ass off", which would have provided me with a, um, opening to continue my theme...
Myriad, you just continue with the theme of your choice, because you have given the best laughs since yesterday!
HY: you are such a positive sprite in this place of ups and downs!
I wish we could "like" comments!
@myr: I was gonna but it was just too easy a lob. You gotta work for it, woman. xo
Yes Zuma, I understand. That's the nature of that kind of "belief", isn't it? Everything bad "is your own fault" and everything good " is a gift from the almighty."
;-)

You had never ever decide to cross over by your hands. If you do, I will cross over to get you and beat yer butt back to the world of living. Yeah, we have all been kicked in the lower regions and then in the teeth, but that means we must get back up and get back in the ring. We must fight the pow-wahs dat be; whoever they might be, Gee. R
Okay, Candace, if you're gonna be like that, I'll just have to go back to the dust-up site, where the discussion currently is all anal alla time, no work necessary.
And the santorum is flow like...oh, god, stop it. I've got a town run to do.
Trudge: a pot of red beans and a new salad idea turned out to be the start of something better! Thanks and hugggs.

Myriad, where's the dustup? I saw half of one. Do we need to dust something up in order to have something to yack about?
Zumba - I love your first line - YES!!!!! If one more idiot tells us to have Hope I'm tempted to ask them if she's a consenting adult.
Zumalicious, this is a prison planet. People are sentenced here for horrendous crimes they committed in past lives.
I say it all the time.

fuck fuckityfuckfuckfuck. and then some.
CC Darling: those are the people (and I tend to be one of them) who are in denial. At some point, the sadness and pain has to be addressed. I have to ask "what is so wrong to be causing this fretting?"
Hey Zuma, my autocorrect wants to call you Zumba...you have lots of good buddies here on os (or "so" according to autocorrect)...anyway, I'm with you. One of my 1st articles on OS was on wanting to be happy, the 2nd was on happiness deferred, and today I decided to work on "Fuck Happiness". Sometimes it all just gets too much...
Junesteward: You are so right. Between my friends in OS and my friends in the real world, today has been so much better. Cooking all day today also helped. I made a superfood feast: red beans and a salad to die for.

I learned a lesson: we have to tackle at what is eating us and put it down. Not doing so takes us down. I share permission for all of us to tackle it.
My personal did you ever just wanna say is to go into Brooks Brothers and ask "These suits--can you put them in the washer-dryer?"
Myriad: For today, I say I want barbequed ribs and will have them!

Con: Not those Brooks Bros! They were in cahoots with the dry cleaning industry and probably got kickbacks!
