For a generation that claims to care so much about fairness, we/they sure don't exhibit it. Lol.

As a short white cis male, it was obvious I was always going to be a reject from this generation.

Of course when I express myself how I want too since I'm not accepted by my millennial peers, they start crying and pretending that they'll start being fair and equal with me. Then I'm like "lol no, I don't believe you..". Then they call me a bigot and a horrible person for acting the same way they have been treating me.

Sorry, please allow me to rant.

I am sick of being talked to in a way like I am an idiot who misses the obvious all of the time. I am sick of being treated like a child unable to do anything for himself who would crumble to pieces instantly in the real world. I am sick of the controlling and nagging. I am sick of not even being able to control when I get myself up in the morning or go to bed at night, at least not without constant interruptions and barges into my room. I am sick of being condescended in such a way as the slightest problem going on in my life that she nags me to tell her about warrants instant panic and ridiculously premature doomsday predictions for my life. Or outright lying to me to get her way in the most trivial, pointless matter. And she wonders why I do not want to live with her or ever talk to her about anything.


.... Because grown freaking men don't want to be stuck under a patronizing mother's skirts all their life, THAT'S WHY. If it's a different story with many girls, then fine. They have a right to want to live with family all of their life without being looked down upon as clingy or needy. But at the same time, most men just aren't wired that way.

But no, I accepted her invitation to stay with her in the meantime while getting ready to move to Canada because I am too nice to say no and tell the truth for fear of hurting people's feelings in this kind of situation. And it just becomes worse for everybody in the longrun, but I doubt I will ever learn my lesson.

A rant I feel less like an angry jerk posting about this time, because it isn't against another person, but rather a species of pure disgust and annoying resilience that no one likes anyway:

I hate cockroaches and this city is full of them. I am encountering two or three of them every day, now. We aren't dirty people and neither are the neighbors on either side of us. I have got to get out of here; i can't stand having to be around them this much. It's my fault for getting too comfortable with somehow having avoided living in a particular spot where they naturally occur the five or six years that happened before coming to Houston. Somehow I encountered only one - one! - cockroach alive or dead in all of that time, across four places I have lived, and we're talking about in Texas and Louisiana, here. And I suppose I was spoiled by that long-lived freedom from their filthy presences.

But you could evacuate Houston of all humans, burn the city to the ground with a nuke, and before the first day of rebuilding was over a hundred would show back up in the woodwork.

Tax forms... enter a 1 on line 14 if during 2017 you lived in Winnebago County, were a flood victim, and can claim at least one person as a dependent. Now multiply by line 15, and put the result in line 16. Now stand on your head and subtract line 16 from line 31.

Moving back to Wisconsin for a little while has at least given me an appreciation for states like Pennsylvania which have a flat tax. I think the first time I did my taxes in PA, it took about 30-45 minutes. The second time around it took me about 10-15 minutes. Now back to Wisconsin, where it takes about 1.5 hours. :/

The ease of doing income taxes in PA doesn't really make up for all the hidden sales taxes which they have, however. But at least they make it an easy process when they take my money. :p ;) (/jk)

It bugs me when people think that my worries, fear, and anxiety are caused by a lack of faith and all I have to do is have more faith and I'll be miraculously cured. I do have faith, in fact I have more faith than I did before I had these problems. I believe they were caused by past experiences and the way I am, not a lack of faith. I know God doesn't want me to be anxious, worried, and fearful, but this is a mental issue and I can't just control it that easily. Besides, God doesn't always instantly cure our troubles; sometimes He wants us to wait or to seek help instead.

That's my rant for the day.
