RANT ON

(At least I label mine) (good old "self-righteous bitch," yeah, that's me again) (no "proselytizing" this time, no worries)

I think I get it now, and ya know, it's ABOUT EFFING TIME. This is just one in a LONG list of "Ain't It Awful?" threads.

Ain't it awful this happened, and that happened, and these people are idiots, ain't it awful? (In case I missed noticing something dumb about our world, for myself-- just in case I was not looking in the sh*t but at something lovely and true)

Ain't it awful how this group or that group or your group or my group has a few loudmouths who get a lot of PR? (Substitute the group of your personal axe to grind).

It has nothing at all to do with a passion for something someone loves, although it hides under that cover. It passes itself off as YOU NEED TO KNOW THIS! I JUST GOTTA TELL YOU! ALERT!! ALERT!!!

It's just hate-mongering.

I propose that we just stick that label on, in good humor and detached cheer, whenever we spot it.

Ain't it awful how some people can only say what they think in terms of Ain't it awful?

See what it breeds. Now I'm doing it! Uck! It's slimy! I'm covered in it! (ALERT! ALERT! *G*G*)

Thank God for music, and thank God for Threadsnot. Yes, ThreadsNot. It's the non-BS-thread filter. It's great. You can bookmark your personal page and go there first, to see if any worthwhile threads you joined in good faith have had any posts, and catch up on delightful PMs. Then you can bop over to the forum, riding the Threadsnot rails (keep mah skillet GREASY folks) and soak up the joy of music.

THEN if you have time left over you can wallow in AIN'T IT AWFUL thinking, and that is nice when one has an odd moment... But only after first arming one's mind with something positive!

Rant off.
