Life

Grades are going to be posted today. I think I may have gotten my first 'B'. I am not happy about it. I guess there are worse things going on in the world. But, you know what? This is MY world damn-it, and I am not happy with a 'B'. That B is going to haunt me for the rest of my life. I'm gonna get over it. I am going to talk myself in to being fine with a B. I might even forget about it on most days.

A friend of mine sent an email to all of her friends, including me, ranting about her ex-husband and how pitiful his relationship is with his daughter. Now, he does try. He deligently pays child support, and he tries to get his daughter to visit with him and his new family a couple of states away; however, he hasnt ever really built a bond with his daughter. I don't think he knows how, and I kind of feel sorry for him really. Anyway, my friend sent an email to all of us complaining about how her ex hasn't called his daughter in a couple of months, and how he should try harder to bond with her (which I agree), and how basically he is just a loser. I guess she must have forgotten that I raised my daughter without child support, and my daughter's father has been in prison for most of the time that she has been alive.
I wasn't offended by her email at all. We all have issues that we need to vent about to our friends. I am just giving a little background so that you might understand my response to her email:

"Well, I just think all men are A-holes anyway, with very few exceptions. All can be described in one word – S.E.L.F.I.S.H.

They can’t help it. God made them that way, unfortunately. We should feel sorry for them…maybe, bake them a cake with nothing on but an apron and high heels.

How about we cut the grass for them riding topless on the riding lawnmower? Better yet, we can listen to them wine about how pathetic their lives are. Let’s just give them all a break, and let the court system know that we don’t want child support anymore, that it is too much of a burden on the men, and anyway, how are they supposed to have fun with the guys and whores when they are spending all their hard earned money on their children?"

By the way Van, you are definitely one of the exceptions, along with my own father.

I got a collective "AMEN" from all of my friends on my response - which now that I think about it, is pretty sad.

I am definitely looking forward to this weekend. No homework. I am going to do some spring cleaning, and maybe take a nice relaxing bath.
