Pitty Party (NOT AN INVITATION!!!)

I'll be the first to admit that I have had my share of pity parties through out my life, but come on… I am referring to our career pity partiers. Those who choose it as a way of life. I am so sick of people who live in pity parties and are now to the point that they think they have to have them thrown for them. Like they have some entitlement to have it. They want nothing more out of life than to live in one big pity party! And what makes that even worse? Those people reproducing and raising their young to become just like them or even better masters of the art… (Art? Is that the right word? How about the craft? Like witch craft? What is the word I am looking for, here?)

Imagine the following said in the whiny voices from these people that we all hear it from all the time! Come on... I know we all have met these kinds of people (or maybe even some of us have been or presently are these kind of people.); -"My life is so hard. I have the worst luck in the world. Nobody loves me. I don't have any friends (maybe it is because you keep using them up!). Why can't someone just give me a break? Why do I have to go through this all the time? How come they get everything they want and not me? Why don't other people have it suck as bad as me?" (Misery loves company?) Marcia, Marcia, Marcia!

They say that they want independence and want to become self sufficient, but they really don't. They would rather ask for hand outs or for someone to constantly give them a break. They would rather suck society dry by moving from one person until that person is empty and then it is on to the next. (Sound like a none vegetarian vampire to you? Does to me.) Meanwhile, they are still complaining. And what are they doing to contribute??? Oh, I would say about as little as they have to or can get away with. And to top it off they try to set the terms for everything and want the world's morals and standards to revolve around them!

As I am dealing with my own leech right now that I am trying to get rid of or at least to stop enabling to suck me dry, the thought went through my mind, "Nobody loves me. Everybody hates me. Think I'll go eat worms..." And what do I have to say to that?!?!?! "Heck! Have all the worms you want! But you will have to find them first. Go get yourself the tools to dig them up and then do it yourself. But... don't expect anyone to sit around and watch you eat them! You have had too many opportunities given to you to help you to overcome your rough circumstances. Just because you choose not to be responsible does not make you my responsibility!"

And the whole ,"I have the worst luck"? Hello!!!!
Do you think spending your money on booze and then totally your car and harming an innocent individual(s) is bad luck?
Your living space gets broken into and all your stuff is stolen. Could it have something to do with the fact that you left the door unlocked or even better, yet, the door wide open?
You go in late to work every day and you are wasted on drugs while you are there and your boss has to let you go… Hmm What do you think?!?!

I was also thinking about how Bella in this book really does not want Edwards money. She wants to be able to do things on her own. THAT is someone who is self sufficient. And that is why she has attracted someone who is financially secure because he is not going to be sucked "dry". Ahhhh! HAH! OK, I am done with my spouting for the moment.

Something I want MY leech to learn is a little poem that I found inspiring while I was a teenager and has been a source to kick me in the hiny every once in a while since then. ;)


Outside my window a new day I see,
and only I can determine what kind of day it will be.

It can be busy and sunny, laughing and gay,
or boring and cold, unhappy and gray.

My own state of mind is the determining key,
for I’m only the person I’ll let myself be.

I can be thoughtful and do all I can to help,
or be selfish and think just of myself.

I can enjoy what I do and make it seem fun,
or gripe and complain and make it hard on someone.

I can be patient with those who may not understand
or belittle and hurt them as much as I can.

But I have faith in myself, and believe what I say,
and I personally intend to make the best of each day.
