Sometimes you just have to let it go! And sometimes you just have to blow your top!! And sometimes you gotta stop thinking what people might think of you and just say what is on your mind! Some people deserve it!
Things just might be a lot simpler I tell you! This year, I have been trying consciously to control my temper a bit.. Yes! Only a bit!! And knowing me, I gotta tell you that it takes a lot of strength of mind – also called PATIENCE. No more a virtue folks.. Now it’s a talent!!
If I keep biting my tongue to stop myself from telling people what I really think of them, I might soon need a new tongue. And that’s saying something!!
Also, I just realized that it’s been a while since this blog has seen a rant post. Well, it’s been a long time since this blog has seen a post of any kind :P (but let’s not go there!!). This is a valid excuse to blog!
Let’s get started with my rant!!

Dear hypocrites,
What’s with the holier-than-thou attitude, some of you? What makes you think that you are treading “The Right Path” and the rest of us here are sitting twiddling our thumbs thinking about what next vice to adopt? And what do you have that you think sets you apart from the rest of us? You got something that the rest of us don’t? Do you perhaps crap from another place maybe? Or do you have some kind of Midas touch? Do you really think that somehow you are superior to the rest of us just because you don’t do things that the rest of us do? Or that you have been there, done that and now you are looking towards teaching us the rights and wrongs in life? Seriously what’s the deal!! When I look at you, I get the urge to grab something and throw it at you! And then telling you to stop being a hypocrite!! But the nearest things that I have within my reach are almost always expensive and really not worth breaking them over someone as silly as you! And this gets the most irritating when I just can’t do anything but keep swearing under my breath.
Breathe in! Think of all swear words! Breathe out! Mutter all previously thought of swear words!! It helps! But only sometimes!!

Dear people who use big words in everyday usage –
Do you know there’s a term for people like you!! No!! Really!!
I asked Google – “What do you call a person that uses big words?” It told me they call them “sesquipedalian”.
Did you know that? Does that sound like some sort of a royal title to you? It sounds like the scientific name of some kind of species of reptile to me!! I would not want to be called that! Oh yeah! Just because you know you a lot of big words do not mean that the rest of us don’t know any! All it means is that we are smart enough not to use them in inappropriate situations.
Are you showing off? Or do you really have some weird reason that only you can fathom for talking like a dictionary! I mean who uses words and phrases like “when push comes to shove!” Or “acrimonious” Or even “obnoxious”! And that too in everyday usage! Once in a while, when the situation is appropriate I can understand. Especially with company that understands these words. Why inflict them on us??
The first thing that goes through my head when I hear someone use words like these is “Ooohh that’s a BIG WORD!” and then I get around to thinking what it means! And then I think if that is the correct meaning or not!! Why can’t you just say “there’s a lot of pressure” or “harsh” or “horrible”!
There! Was that not simple and effective? Easier for the rest of us too… think about it! I respect the fact that you know a lot of big words and that you are knowledgeable, but seriously, stop over doing it!
Your OSTENTATIOUS attitude is EXASPERATING sometimes!!
See I know big words too! :D
