It's not you, It's me...

Yup.

Moving on!

Where would you go if you could go and live anywhere?  Where would you choose to start again, build a life, and get away from the humdrum mundanity of your current sitch?

I am pushing for India!  Aaron and I have long been enamored of the idea of moving there, giving it a whirl.

I am a little fed up to the teat with people shooting this idea down by telling us how many shots we'd have to get, how we couldn't drink the water, blah blah blah.  It isn't your life, folks!  Just smile and nod and wish us well, because it isn't your arm they'll be pricking and it isn't you who will have to stand in the interminable visa line and it isn't you who'll be risking everything on a fanciful dream, so butt-the-fuck-out!

A similar thing happens whenever we mention our long-held desire for a ferret.  Christ.  I know, ok, I know that they smell and they are mischievous and alot of work and blah blah blah.  So are kids, and people have those all the time; why you gunna hate on my little weasel?

Today I had a pineapple and MANGO pizza!  And you better believe some folks had trash to talk and shit to say about that.  Really?  Is it your pizza?  Oh, did I force you to eat a fucking slice?  Last time I checked, this is America, and I was pretty sure I can order whatever the fuck I want on my pizza, so long as the pizza establishment in question is willing to oblige, so back the fuck off!

I am guilty of pushing my beliefs on others lately.  And I regret it.  I am an idiot for ever having said anything.  It is so completely not my life, the choices are not remotely mine, they affect me in no way, and it was none of my fucking business.

Move where you want, do what you want, be who you want. 

Just don't ask me for validation, because I can only smile and nod like a stepford wife for so long before you start to see the cracks and the malfunctioning gears.

And be careful who you hurt~ do what you want, but be aware of the people involved.  That sounds fair, right?

We should all live our lives the way we want to live them (within the bounds of the law...I suppose...).  That's one of our fundamental rights as Americans, isn't it?  The pursuit of happiness?  Sometimes the pursuit will go sour, you won't be able to catch that fucking happiness, or hold onto it.

But someone told me recently to just 'Change my perspective'.  Stellar.  That's what I'll do.


Done, and done.

Thx Thx Thx!
