Fear (or whatever it is you like about Haunted Houses)

So.

I have this quirk.

Okay…I am the embodiment of much that is quirky πŸ˜‰

Haunted Houses. People go to them to get the crap scared out of themselves.

I don’t.

I don’t like getting the crap scared out of me. Life is scary enough without some profiteers at a haunted house offering bonuses to all their employees that make an adult pee their pants. No joke, I have a friend or two that work these things, that bonus really exists.

So now we’re not only going someplace that so that we can make sure our hearts don’t up and quit when we’re startled by the loon running at you with a running chainsaw….Homie in the chainsaw…he gets a bonus if he makes you wet yourself.

Why is all this coming up anyhow?

Two reasons…IT IS HALLOWEEN GOOFUS! …and a friend I barely ever get to see asked me to go with her Friday.

Unfortunately, I don’t react to scary situations like those in a haunted house altogether in a manner the haunted house owners would prefer. Guy jumps at my girlfriend with a knife. Guy gets hurt. Guy comes running at me with a chainsaw, I don’t run, scream, and I most certainly don’t cringe in fear. I just take the chainsaw away from him. (Yes both these instances happened, much to my friends delight…they knew ahead of time what would happen, the better the haunted house, the more likely Tony would get kicked out).

Yeah. So. Tony and Haunted Houses don’t mix. I suppose it would be fun to put a really scary pic in here denoting how scared people can get. But I don’t have one…and since my version of a scary scene done on the fly would look remarkably like Allie Brosh’ stuff at Hyperboleandahalf …SO…we’ll just end this now.

Learn something new every day eh?




…and there goes the very last of my faith and trust.

So…just venting.

Seriously…I think it’s something akin to being emotionally sucker-punched. It’s that sticky yuck of disappointment in a friend that sucks.

Don’t get me wrong, you’re all wonderful people I am sure.

But sometimes people just suck big green donkey @!#%s.

I honestly am typing it out here, because saying it in person or any other venue is just going to kick up drama and this one time…I am not going to call friends, or be an idiot and find a bottle.

Okay, so I might be a tad pissed about it.

…and most importantly I hate being disappointed in people.

As a practice, I like to see the best in people and their potential.
However as experience creeps up on that outlook, it becomes evident that such faith is most often misplaced.

Anyhow, move along…I am sure this is just a precursor to me getting POed and writing some insanely good literature on how stupid California is.

But for now I am just going to drop it in my own little back 40 on the internet.

I know…it’s a long title considering such a short rant, right?

Here, maybe this pic from EpicWin.net will cheer you up…it did me. πŸ™‚

Where the White Man went Wrong

Important Note: I would like to thank Sarah from Anonymous8.com for unknowingly cheering me up with the above pic just as I was getting utterly and completely unnecessarily angry.




Before you ask…

Sometimes you can see their hesitation in asking…

Tony, are you happy with your life?

Here’s your answer.

The truth of it is I’m happy. The only few things missing in my life and the parts and friends not missing more than make up for it. I only wish I could say the same for everyone else πŸ™‚

Please don’t take this post too seriously.

I obviously don’t.
