I Need An Anger Workshop

I have been struggling with anger today. Really think that I need to have an outlet of some sort.

It pretty much started the moment I stepped outside. I go for a nice little run today and nearly get run over (TWICE!) by a group of middle aged men riding bicycles who couldn't possibly ride past me any further than 2 inches. If I had swung my arm out I would have clothes-lined one of them which, looking back, maybe I should have done. It just continued from there. God-damned tourists taking up the entire path or walking on the wrong side. Mini-vans and bmw's driving like absolute morons and not responding to green lights and/or taking a left hand turn from a right hand lane. And finally, in the grocery store, men (again, middle-aged) cut me off, take up the entire aisle and, instead of moving, just look at me and continue looking at whatever in the hell they're looking at. Didn't their wives teach them how to behave in a grocery store? You keep your buggy as far to the right hand side as you can. You walk on the right hand side (it's no different than driving!). If someone needs to get past you...MOVE! Good Lord! The pretentious, self-righteous bullshit is getting really old to me.

I miss the south. Why? Because men knew how to act. You open doors for ladies. You act courteously at all times. You're respectful. Even if you have money you don't look down on anyone. You say "thank you" and "excuse me". You just act right!

Ugh...I really didn't start this blog to bitch. I was just going to say how I was having anger problems today and then I was going to write about things that make me happy. So, here it goes *deep breath*...

1. Cherries
2. Candles
3. Getting my hair did
4. New shoes/clothes/make-up
5. Starbucks

All better? Not quite. Guess I'll just keep thinking these happy thoughts. Behave, Monterey, and maybe we can get along. Maybe.
