Taking the high road is not so easy

Goddamn, you guys. Sometimes I wonder why I get so frustrated when I'm disconnected from the internet for more than I deem necessary. I always feel like I'm missing something amazing without some contact to people. But the moment I get back online I end up reading tons of articles and watching tons of news that just depress me and make me wonder why certain people are even alive or allowed to think or fanboy over something.

I really try hard to be mature and not stoop to being one of the top 8 obnoxious commenters and just rise above it. But wow, do some people make it tempting.

And then I decide to go out on my own. To breathe air. To get rid of the stupidity in front of my eyes. But after traveling twenty minutes to the strip mall no store has the (fifteen!!!) books I want in stock. Is it so hard, Barnes n' Nobles, to stock less of Twilight for a change? Was it necessary, K Mart, to completely rid yourselves of the book section that I adored so much when Caldor's was there? Is it necessary, MTA to make a one-stop bus ride so epically annoying for me, when it does nothing to speed up service (don't even get me started on the proposed raise to $3 a ride)?

And people wonder why pirating is so popular. This is the era of instant gratification. If I want something, damnit, I WILL FIND IT. Except, apparently, when that is Planet in Peril.

Ugh, Thursday was shitty enough. Don't fuck up my weekend, too, universe. I deserve that much, don't I?
