I’m so angry.

It’s not a good feeling. It’s not a good look.

I’m angry at my stupid, corporate job. I’m angry at my wife’s stupid, corporate job. I’m angry that I work for a bunch of elite wanna-be hypocrites,, and she works for a raging lunatic asshole with a coke problem.

I’m angry little girls are getting shot in shopping malls waiting for the easter bunny. Seriously — are a pair or two of shoplifted shoes worth KILLING someone over? Worth impacting the life of an innocent child for the rest of her days? Worth the trauma that everyone who was there will suffer and have to overcome?

I’m angry the American Government has hundreds of millions of dollars to hand over to a country across the ocean but can’t figure out clean water, housing, or how to harness wind and solar power in a way that is positively impactful for every home & business here in the U.S. of A.

I”m angry that everything I wanted my life to be has turned to shit.

Actually, that last line isn’t completely true. I have a great life. I’m just angry I can’t seem to enjoy it.

I love my partner, the cat, & our dogs. We have everything we need and want. Financially we are better off than many. I have flexible working hours and heat and 3000 thread…
