SHIT THAT I WORRY ABOUT
This cranky re-run is from December 2011 (notice how much more of a potty mouth I was) |
I know, I can plant a tree, but the fucking hurricanes will only
knock it and others over. I can drive
slower, but some asshole will pass me doing 80 and negate my effort. I could turn down the heat in the winter, but
with the warming I won’t have to so….I don’t know, I am just so confused. I am confused, and I have so many other
things to worry about.
I worry about running out of food. The population keeps growing taking up space
used to grow food and yet we will require more food for the increased
population. When will it end? I worry.
I worry about running out of water. Once again, more people need more water and
we keep throwing crap into the water making less to drink. I worry.
I worry about shit in the food we do have. I watch TV and see shows about bugs, animal
shit, dirt and lots of other bad stuff in our processed food. I worry.
I worry about radar, x-rays, microwaves, radio waves, TV waves,
and tidal waves. All those waves that
did not exist 100 years ago zapping through our bodies can’t be good. I worry.
I worry about poor people.
As the world runs out of stuff, and I still have stuff, I worry about
people who don’t have stuff taking my stuff.
If they take my stuff then I will be poor and have to take someone
else’s stuff. I don’t think I would be
very good at taking other peoples stuff.
I worry.
I worry about smart people.
Smart people might take my stuff just because they can out-smart me and
even though they would not need my stuff because they are smart, they might
take it any way because what good is being smart if it does not get you more
stuff? I worry.
I worry about garbage.
More people, more garbage, less space; where are we going to put all
that garbage? Will smart people
out-smart me and get me to swap my stuff for garbage? If they do, I know poor people won’t take the
garbage from me. I don’t want to live in
garbage. I worry.
I worry about the sun burning out. How long can that sucker keep burning and
heating up the planet. Doesn’t
everything eventually burn- out or at least decrease in intensity? What keeps the sun burning? How does the sun regulate its heat
production? I guess at least the sun
burning out would end global warming.
Now I’m not sure which to worry about.
I worry.
I worry about running out of stuff to blog about. If this worry shit is the best I can come up
with, I’m in trouble. Where will I find
new material?
I worry!
Haha. Oh man. I am right there with you Cranky. I worry about everything. The other day I pulled into the parking lot at Hallmark and there was backpack on the ground next to a van. My immediate thought was, "it's a bomb!" Then some kid came running out, picked it up and threw it in his rig. Minor heart attack for nothing. You're not the only one who worries. I worry too my friend. And those are all valid worries, by the way!
ReplyDeleteI am always thinking about the global warming, the global hunger and then about what can we do to prevent people from randomly taking innocent people's lives. Sometimes. I worry so much that I cannot eat and sometimes I feel like throwing up.
ReplyDeleteI hope that all of us who worry can come up with solutions and keep praying.
Haha! I don't have too much shit, or at least I don't think I do, which means I probably do. Maybe I should worry more about looking over my shoulder for whoever is going to get my shit. But that would give me a neck ache, and I'll worry about running out of Icy Hot. Stop the insanity! ;)
ReplyDeleteI wish I hadn't read this - you've given me so much about which to worry.
ReplyDeleteJim says I worry enough for everyone.
ReplyDeleteYou worry too much Cranky. Most of this stuff will never happen. And if you follow the money you won't worry about most of this stiff.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day. ☺
Now you got me worried about stuff I wasn't worried about before :) Thanks!
ReplyDeletebetty
Now you've given me something else to worry about---YOU! Just kidding of course.
ReplyDeleteWell, if you drive slower, the a**hole doing 80 will probably not only pass you, but shoot you as well. That will take care of everything you would have lived to worry about in the next dozen paragraphs!
ReplyDeleteA song for you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-diB65scQU
ReplyDeleteYou forgot about all the phyto-plankton dying in the sea which creates half of the oxygen on this planet.
ReplyDeleteI worry that I will have to listen to Doris Day sing "Kay Sera Sera" again. Oh wait, that's supposed to help me stop worrying.
ReplyDeleteGo do something nice for someone else, and you won't have time to worry. Oh, and the sun probably won't burn out for at least another 5billion years, so it's too early to start worrying about it.
ReplyDeleteIs it bad that I don't worry about any of it? I will most certainly be dead by 2050.
ReplyDeleteI wanna be the guy that other people worry about. . .
ReplyDelete;)
Now you've got me worrying...
ReplyDeleteI worry that sometimes, I just don't care.
ReplyDeleteI worry about you Joe ...
ReplyDeleteI could say stop worrying but I don't think that will help.
ReplyDeleteI could say none of the things you are worrying about will happen in your lifetime, or what is left of it, but since they still might happen anyway, you will continue to worry.
how about this? Maybe they will happen, maybe sometime in the next 50 years, someone will find a way to turn these things around and the world with its population will be fine.
Don't worry. Be happy. HEY! That could make a good song!
ReplyDeleteYou must have a degree in "Worry" by now. You're so good at it, I'm
ReplyDeletesending you my worries too. Thank you in advance. LOL
MY WIFE handles the worry around here. It is my job to remain calm and field the occasional grounder that goes through her legs.
ReplyDeleteYou're never going to run out of worries. Face it, you are just human.
ReplyDeleteI worry when someone who posts regularly suddenly misses a couple of day without warning.
