WTF Wednesday

Seriously, what the fuck is going on with the universe lately?

As I drove to work today, thinking about the death of Heath Ledger (Ed. note:  I will miss that sexy-ass accent of his, yesindeed) I couldn’t help but just feel ridiculously angry and freaked out by things.

So guess what?  I’m gonna start a new tradition here at ChasingParadise.  From now on, every Wednesday will feature a list of things that are either pissing me off or confusing me.  Take your pick.  Sometimes it will probably be a little bit of both.

1.  Heath Ledger, dead at 28.  Seriously, I doubt it was an overdose.  He just seemed to be really genuine, down-to-Earth, and humble.  His poor daughter.  And if it’s got something to do with the pneumonia they say he’d been suffering from as of late, then WTF?  People can die at 28 years old from pneumonia?!  I think that’s bothering me the most is that I grew up having a huge celeb crush on him and he’s so close to my age and HELLO SCARY.  And sad.

2.  Driving to work this morning there was a girl in front of me in the fast lane going 70.  In a 65.  She was chatting on her cell phone, precariously balancing her steering wheel somewhere other than her hands because her other hand (the one not holding her phone) was applying eye makeup.  I mean I guess I can give her points for not driving fast WHILE doing all of this, still…  Do you have a brain?  I glared at her as I passed her.  IN THE RIGHT LANE.

3.  Guys.  Boys.  Whatever you prefer to call them.  A friend of mine had been seeing this guy recently, and he seemed decent enough.  Attractive, well-educated, and so on.  After weeks of non-stop hanging out, he just all of a sudden decides to stop returning her calls and texts.  Then, out of nowhere, just as she was judging herself, questioning everything she’d ever said and done near him, he comes out of the blue with an email apologizing, saying he is freaked out and can’t do this anymore.  That she’s the nicest girl he’s ever met but he is an asshole and he can’t see her like that.  I mean, okay thanks for admitting that you’re an asshole, but you’re forgetting one thing.  You’re also 26 year’s old.  YOU’RE AN ADULT.  So act like one and stop treating my friends with utter disrespect, you piece of shit.

4.  Last night I saw on the news a piece about Hilary Clinton and Barack Obama fighting with each other during a Democratic debate.  I got so angry.  They’re on the same side — against Bush and his policies.  So why are they fighting with each other?  Is it too much to ask for them to be civilized and play fair and be happy for the other, whichever person gets nominated?  I guess the closer it gets to the election, the nastier it’s going to become.  It’s upsetting.

I guess it’s not bad that I can only come up with four things that have pissed me off in the last 12 hours or so. 

What is pissing you off today?
