Could I possibly be this angry for 4 years?
Edited on Thu Nov-04-04 11:09 AM by bif
I'm usually a very easy going person. But yesterday and today I've been pretty pissed off. Talk about road rage--I've been yelling at stupid drivers and at the radio. I don't know if I can be this angry for a long period of time. I'm already on blood pressure meds.

1. I'm taking comfort
in the fact that chimpy now has 4 more years to phuck up and I predict he won't last; impeachment is on the horizon, me thinks.

Next time a freeper bitches about high gas prices, smile and say, "Don't blame me, I voted for Kerry."

7. I feel the same way too
I can't be this depressed and angry for the next four years....I think I'll take a Sabbatical leave and do some volunteer work somewhere in Africa

3. You could expire if you don't find a way (there are many) to channel your
anger into creative activities, such as, helping with the impeachment process once it begins.

4. I was about to joke a little
and say yeah, because I think I'm going to be, but you need to be careful with that blood pressure. I know it's hard not to be angry. Hell, I haven't even tried not being angry, but when your health is already at risk, just be careful man. Maybe try to find something that will help get your mind off of it, even for a few minutes.

6. I've been this angry already
It's already been four years of unprecedented bullshit, and the complete besmirching of everything that was good and decent about the USA.

My wife has already complained about how often I've used the phrase "I miss the 20th century" in my rants.

What's another four years of outrage? Piece of cake, I say.

And I still miss the 20th century. Honk if you do too.

8. I know how you feel
I've gotten progressively angrier over the past 4 years, and it's just going to get worse. I yell at the TV, the radio, and drivers with "W" stickers on their cars. We're going to have to find constructive ways to direct that anger, though. But if it energizes us to organize and get some positive work done in our communities, it could turn into a good thing.

9. then don't be
focus your anger into something productive. Write, draw, build cabinets, chop wood, paint, play music, take a martial arts class.
