My life is pretty strange.  I spend my time doing not many different things.  Going to school, writing for dontshakethebaby, reading weird shit on the internet, doing computer work for cheapskates and getting drunk off my ass whenever possible just to bookend the days. 

What this is all for, why do I bother, why do you bother?  Who the fuck knows, who cares.

I do know this though, life is too random and wacky to take seriously.

    

This man probably takes things too seriously

The more I think about it the more I realize the worst I ever feel about anything is when I take myself and my life too seriously.

There are things in life worth fighting for, even things worth driving a car bomb into an embassy for.  But you really have to think these things through first, since most things don't fall into that category.

Taking my trivial shit too seriously leads me to believe that everything is embassy bombing priority level 1, but of course it isn't.

This man really likes chocolate bars

This guy in the scouts uniform.  He has downs syndrome but look at that smile.  Is he depressed because he has downs syndrome and has to deal with some pretty heavy shit man?  No way man.  I bet he's happy and proud, which he should be, his life has little pleasures and victories that whether or not I understand bring him joy.

Examples of people who take their shit too seriously are the people who blow up abortion clinics, form hate groups, and mainly go around blaming anyone of another race or opinion for all their problems.  Those fuckers fail to realize that no one gives a shit about their problems since they doubtless are the cause of their own problems anyway.

Somewhere along the way I got the impression that it should matter to other people if I'm unhappy.  Why?

Sad because your wife left you?  Maybe its because you suck.  Sad because your boss passed you over for promotion?  Maybe you're incompetent.  Big deal.  So what, who says you have to be so great anyway.  Its wise to accept the fact that your not smart or sexy or smell okay.  Its dumb to think that any of it matters to anyone else.  They are worried about the fact that they are stupid, or total frauds, or smell like a reanimated skunk.  I suck, I'm incompetent, do you see me blaming the world?  Well I guess I am, how ironic.

Why things happen isn't such mysteriousness if you don't bother trying to understand it.  In my opinion some things aren't worth trying to figure out.  Here's some examples:

Why doesn't everyone enjoy my demo tape?

How come my teenage girlfriend is stealing from me?

Am I in some small way somehow responsible for paying to my kids the court ordered child support?

Taking yourself too seriously is retarded.  That being said, now you should read
