Just a little depressed about my birthday that is coming up in December. Terrible night at work that caused me to stay late, left me stewing in the worst thoughts and dragged my good feeling right out of me as i was again reminded that I would be alone on my birthday and how it is likely to be like last year where the only person who wished me a happy birthday was the time clock at work. There will be no party, there will be no gift, and I wont even be able to get myself a cake to eat and feel terrible about the weight I gained from it. But a new realization has struck me that I never even thought about until reading a post from my best and closest friend about the commercialism of the holiday season. She reminded me that there were holiday specials that taught us about family togetherness and the importance of showing our appreciation of one another this time of year. As token as my birthday was always treated int he past, when retailers pushed out and squashed the family aspect of the holidays and even shoved thanksgiving out the door far enough that there are no longer those television specials to remind us of the spirit of the holidays, the day of my birth also became less and less important to those around me to where that tiny token nod disappeared as well. In other points of irritation, I am sick of hearing people say 'That's just how it is' to everything. You know what? 'That's just how it is' because your weak and pathetic ass rolled over and showed your belly to LET it be that way. If you open your mouth and spit those words, I really can't have respect for you as a person. Grow some balls and say no, when something isn't fucking right, the only way it will change is by not accepting it like that. Sure, one person saying no isn't going to go very far, but if enough people stop being fucking mindless sheep and stand up to say no, things don't stay that way, things change for the better and we progress as a society rather than being stuck under the thumbs of corporations that want us to just say 'that's just how it is'. We will never see a better face to anywhere in the world if we accept the bad things that happen and just spout those pathetic words in defeat. So, when something is just not right and could be better, raise your voice, bang some pots and pans, roll out the soap box and make some fucking noise people. Break away from the force fed notion that not accepting the bad is just simple bitching, it's a rally cry to those who want to better the situation of all and progress as a species. And yes, That's what the bird says.
