Thought about posting on one of the topics in the upcoming post category, but I don’t feel like doing that tonight, so how about some general rants/discussion? I don’t even know about the category, so I’ll just type and try to categorize after I get done. So what is the deal with the world? Everything seems to be getting more typical and predictable. I go to work, get off, come home, do the same stuff over and over. People just have become so predictable and cliche. It really sickens me. I just get tired of those predicted, ridiculous jokes. I’m growing restless, I really am. I’ve said that before, but it’s become worse in the last week. I want to travel. I want to get a job where nothing is predictable, and the world is ahead of me. I like the thought of being on the go, staying in hotels, not knowing where I’ll be going next. That excites me. The norm is killing me.
Do you ever feel like you are one of the only sane people on the earth? I get so tired of dealing with illiterate people. When I go somewhere it seems like I can just almost predict what’s going to happen, or when I send a message or talk to someone, I know what they are going to say or how they are going to respond, so I’m basing my decisions on asking them or telling them something based on how I want to make them feel. I know that’s complicated, but read it twice and it will make sense. The sad thing is, most people don’t do anything about it. Ever seen the movie office space? I know how that guy feels now. I just feel like there is so much more out here, and I’m tired of feeling like I’m held back. I want more, I want to make money, be successful, have a great family. I woke up this morning and thought, “Dang, I’m 21 and I have no idea what I want to do with my life.” I mean sure I have a job, I work. I get up, go to work, tap my foot until the weekend, do so called fun stuff, and rinse and repeat. I’m so tired of cliche stuff I could just throw up.
I absolutely hate walking around on friday at work or at the store or something and someone saying, “So glad it’s friday!” or “Alright the weekends here!” Just makes me sick! Or people that feel they have to say something, and you pass by them the first time and say, “Nice day eh?” Then later that day you may pass them again and you’re thinking to yourself, “Oh crap, I’ve already mentioned that it’s a nice day, should I think of something else to say or just ignore him?” Ahh! Stereotypical stuff! I’ve got to do something more exciting.
I know exactly how you feel. That’s why I’ve thought about being a travelling nurse. I hate ritual. I hate monontomy. (However the heck you spell that) I like routine so I can do things right and remember what I need to do, but not the exact same thing every day for 6 months. I would like to travel the country and out of country at least once just for the experience at least.
Sometimes I’ve had to pretend to laugh at people’s jokes, especially the one’s where something happens that reminds them of a certain popular song or movie and they say the same thing that you’ve heard 30 other people say in the same circumstamce.
