I feel awfully weird this morning. Just...you know, stupid emotions and junk.
I watched the rioting in MO on the news last night. And it was so very...just sad. I'll keep my opinion on what lead to the riots to myself, but...Where is the sense in destroying the property of people who had nothing to do with the event they're rioting over? What good is that doing anyone? How does it make it right, how does it solve anything, to get violent and stupid and break stuff and steal things and get drunk?
I watched when a man walked up to the McDonald's...the majority of the crowd was heading towards the liquor store at that point, I think, but this man with a baseball bat went up to an empty McDonald's and busted the window...and this act, more than the others I watched...I dunno, so incredibly pointless. Senseless violence and destruction. Breaking stuff just because nobody was stopping them from doing it.
And the whole thing got me thinking...just...how very, very, very sad, and lost, and blind, people are.
And then to leap to a totally different subject...
Why is stuff so hard?! Decisions, and choices, and friendships? Why do things have to be complicated and stupid? Why can't two people who get along well just be friends, and leave it at that, without issues and emotions and problems and just...why can't I just...I dunno, keep a friend, for once? I feel like there's something fundamentally wrong with me that causes me to systematically destroy every friendship I am ever blessed with.
*SIGH*
...on a positive note, I managed to drink an entire cup of coffee this morning while it was still hot. And that's pretty much unheard of around here.
Gotta give thanks for the little things, yeah?
