Two days ago, I woke up. Not that I've been awake for two days. What I do mean is that two days ago I woke up after spending about 13 hours studying. I had this project that needed to be done and my fellow partners enjoyed meetings. Something about over thinking situations and complaining about it entertained them. And boy-howdy do I enjoy being passive aggressive. We can save that for another day.
I woke up, showered, dressed, and headed for school. I had a PowerPoint presentation to finish. What was the point? My group was going to drastically change it anyways. It was a sunny day. Atypical for Cleveland but the snow on the ground helped put the sunlight into perspective. I turned the key and headed downtown. As I got closer and closer, my mind wandered a bit but then solidified on one salient point: I am really getting pissed. I am becoming the phi of pissed. If you measured the distance from your hip to your ankle then divided that number by the distance between your knee and your ankle; you would get a factor that represented the pain in my ass life seemed to be. At this point, if I were a superhero, I would be the Afro-Semitic Hulk; throwing chicken joints and delis at anyone who wouldn't like me when I was angry. The further from my bed I traveled, the angrier I got. I really thought I was on the verge of true malice towards my fellow man, woman, and fast food establishment. I hated school, I hated life, I even contemplated ordering a high powered slingshot from a white supremacy website. I don't actually know if white power hobbyists use slingshots but if I were inclined to perform hate crimes, I know now my weapon of choice.
Every stoplight has changed anticipating my arrival. Why do I have to do all of this work? My group partners are just some lazy byatches. Then I realized I was listening to NPR. They were talking about rage and self loathing.
Right then and there I decided to change the channel and find something more conducive to peace and tranquility. I am still looking. Cleveland radio sucks.
