Sorry jt yer me pal but I'm with Steve on this one. We don't get a lot of choice in what bothers us.
Turning the topic to my favorite (me) I keep telling myself to stop getting pissed off about bad grammar and language changes I don't like. "Reach out" bothers the piss out of me. I can tell myself it's just evolving speech but all I he…
Sorry jt yer me pal but I'm with Steve on this one. We don't get a lot of choice in what bothers us.
Turning the topic to my favorite (me) I keep telling myself to stop getting pissed off about bad grammar and language changes I don't like. "Reach out" bothers the piss out of me. I can tell myself it's just evolving speech but all I hear is "phony warmth." If you have any questions just *reach out* to Sarah and ... I reach for the plastic-lined back in the back of the seat in front of me.
Do I have a choice about getting BOOS over this? It doesn't feel like it.
I didn't read Steve that way, that we don't have choice in what bothers us. ICBW, of course.
Paraphrase another 2000-year-old piece-a lore: "There are things You can control: Yourself and that's it. There are things You can't control: Everybody else, and everything that comes in Your Way. Don't waste Your time and energy on the latter."
I don't see anything particularly *wrong* with getting pissed at stupidity. Has the benefit that it can keep Ya busy all the live long day. But if it disturbs Your peace of mind, what point? Get pissed. Move on to the next whatever. *Staying* pissed? There's always the *next* thing to get pissed off at. And amongst all that, a small thing comes Your way.
And what do You really care if You get booed? (Not from me, hope Ya see.)
I dunno. Mebbe it's just me. At my age, I just don't have *time* to dwell on things that didn't go my Way. Most don't.
At the end of the day, before the loooong night, it's all gonna come out even-steven, AFAIK. You remember Mad magazine, Chris? I think the motto was "What? Me worry?" Something. If it wasn't, it should-a been. When I hit [Post] I hope You or someone reading this will enjoy it. Count on it? Back to reading, is all.
