Stupidity Reigns Supreme

Why are people so stupid, childish, deceitful, immature, and useless? Why are there so many wastes of space and good air on this planet? I've been thinking about people in general a lot lately. It seems that every time I start to regain my faith in humanity as a whole, someone comes along, and does something (big or small) to ruin the itty bitty piece of hope I had regained. Alas, people are stupid. *sigh*

Ever notice how people on the internet act like their dicks are gargantuan when they are online, but they really only have a tiny baby finger in real life? I'm so ridiculously tired of people whipping them out in online chat rooms, message boards, and forums, and then end up having no backbone in real life. These same people back stab and lie to make their own pitiful real lives look so much better. I guess they figure if they talked themselves up online, but they are really nothing in person, they should tell some stories to take the focus off their own inadequacies. I often just want to get all these people into a room at one time and say, "What grade are you in?!?!?!?! Act like a freaking adult!" But I know that probably wouldn't help the spineless bottom-dwellers either.

Why are there so few people in the world that you can trust to be truthful, friends. So many people think they are great friends, but really only keep their friends around to serve a purpose. I can honestly count on one hand the number of people I can call in any situation, and I know beyond the shadow of a doubt, that they would come running to help me. Those same few people hopefully know that they can count on me in the same way. There are another handful of people, unfortunately, that think they can come running to me with every hangnail they have, and I'll sit and listen, and help them. Those people would be nowhere to be found when I needed them though. Those are not true friends, although they claim to be.

People in Corporate America are often just the same. No one actually seems to care about their employees anymore. They are mostly just money-grubbing boot-lickers. *sigh*

I have no faith in humanity.

Don't &*%@ with my Family and news for the masses

To those five or six people out there, and you know who you are, let last night's events be a lesson to you. Don't ever fuck with my family again. Burn in hell.


And now, for news that concerns the rest of the population.

I saw the knee doctor again on Monday. He cleared me to fence again! Yay! He's really happy with my progress, and says my left knee is now tracking even better than my right. He told me to go ahead and push my knee. He said the most he thinks I'll experience is a little soreness if I over do it, and that should go away in a day or two.

The weird thing is, I'm going through a really weird learning curve trying to trust my own leg again. You see, I've still got quite a bit of numbness in it (the doc said that could take 6-8 months to go away), so I can't always feel when it's underneath me where it should be. It's a really strange process, trying to trust that my knee is going to be where it should be.

So, I'll be fencing epee this weekend. I can't change direction fast enough yet to fence foil or sabre, so I'm still trying to take things one step at a time. I'm really excited about it, even though I'm probably going to do dreadfully awful since I've taken the entire summer off. Oh well. I've got to start somewhere.

In other news, we have a new edition to our family! Flick the rat. (No, that wasn't a typo, we really did get a rat.) I never in all my life envisioned myself owning a rat as a pet, but he's actually really sweet. He likes to sit on my shoulder while I'm on the computer. We really got him for my son to learn to take care of something, and so far, it seems to be working out. He gives the rat plenty of attention, and helps me check on his food and water every day. *sigh* A rat.
