Sometimes I feel like the goal posts keep changing on me. I seem to have it all figured out - what is expected of me and what I am supposed to do- and it turns into one big flop. I play by all the rules and try to do what is expected of me, but it never seems to be enough. One expectation leads to another and it never seems to end. I just want to crawl back into my hole and have zero responcibilities with no one telling me what to do or having any expectations of me. I am filled with brilliance when I am alone in my thoughts, but the world tells me I am inadequate, stupid, not up to par.
There are so many daily irratents that are just like little drops in my ever expanding ocean of rage and I just want to tell the world to F-K off and leave me alone.
A crappy mark on a term paper
Taking the wrong bus to get home after a long day
A late payment notice even though I sent the payment in 2 weeks ago
Noise, noise, noise- pounding in my brain
Ongoing petty squabbles with my wife
Worries about family back home
And on and on it goes.............
And to top it all off the TMS just keeps on nagging like the question of how many angels can dance on a head of a pin tears away at the brain of a theologian, on and on 24/7 until I wish I could scream at the top of my lungs ARRRRRGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good post Shawn, you summed up the human condition very well. Send some of this stuff off and try to get it published and make some money off of it--when you've got lemons, make lemonade.

Respsponsibilities and demands on us create enormous conflict and rage, especially when we resent those responsibilities
This is precisely what the pain trying to distract you from. |

If you can find someplace to scream AAAARGGGHHH I'd go for it.
I really hate the whole "oh, we lost your payment" thing. I've been sending my payments to my cable company through my bank's online system, and I put in the right address, but the bank is sending it to the wrong place somehow. And when I called them yesterday they tried to say it was my fault or that it was the cable company's fault (because "once it is in their system they must be rerouting it" -- because of course they would move it to the wrong place instead of just processing it?). It is certainly not mine as I have double-checked the address a zillion times. And the cable company has said that they are not receiving it at the correct place, that it is coming in as delayed due to going to the wrong place first. Very annoying.
