leftover unposted rant…

Oh, crap… what a shitty day Wednesday was…

The DVD I was gonna show in class fell out of my bag in the car, leaving me with NOTHING to do. Class, as a result, sucked. It rained all fucking day… no umbrella. I took my glasses off in the rain, went to put them in my shirt pocket, they caught on my lapel and fell onto the sidewalk, knocking a giant chip out of the middle of the left lens. The wife is ranting and raving around the house, cuz her new client is making her edit in WordPerfect, and it’s fucking up in all sorts of perplexing ways. Then she spent all night having crying hissy fits because the baby wouldn’t sleep…

The baby thing… fuck… I’m experiencing a lot of barely-contained-hostility on that front. And if it ever boils over, there is going to be real trouble. Because I can sense that my wife is feeling like I’m not being supportive enough, but I just can’t be… because every time she starts bitching and crying about how tired she is or complaining about breastfeeding, it’s all I can do to not start fucking screaming at her… ”Gee, it’s too fucking bad there wasn’t someone around spending a fucking year trying to talk you out of the stupid idea of having another fucking kid, isn’t it.” And yeah… maybe I’m a huge asshole for feeling that way, but I can’t fucking help it. All of a sudden, I’m living a life that I didn’t choose for myself… and I’m fucking miserable half the time, and it pisses me off. And I knew this was going to happen, and I told her this was going to happen. All the feelings I’m having now are the feelings I was AFRAID I was going to have a year ago, and that she just completely fucking dismissed. So why the fuck should *I* start caring about *her* fucking feelings now?

Nothing more healthy than sublimated anger, huh?

I’m just. So. Fucking. Tired.

Having a new baby is tough on everybody, especially the emotional and financial part of it. I’m sorry that you feel the way you do though, perhaps you are acting on how you perceived yourself acting sort of a self-prophecy. Also, I’m sure the lack of attention your wife is giving you might have it’s toll as well.

(Cont.)Those who can post can not note, those who could note couldn’t post. I guess the Jackhammer Jackoff did his work very well, unfortunately, I’m the only one who apparently saw him yesterday.

*Self-fulfilling prophecy is what I meant, not self-prophecy. I thought it looked a bit weird, sorry about that.

Oh yes, you don’t genuinely feel that way, you thought you’d feel that way so you made yourself feel that way. What a crock :-P. I’m with you. I can’t imagine being stuck with one of those crying poopsacks against my will. :- I feel for ya…wish I had some brilliant advice or something.
