Tired

I suppose it’s time for a quarter-life crisis, though I have six months until the date when it happens. But I’ve been thinking and reflecting on all of the things that I want to change about my own life. And, content that I have a comprehensive list of all of my faults (fixable and non), I turn my thoughts outward.
I have discovered that I am tired. Not in the physical fatigued sense, though I am that, too, but in the emotional and mental sense. In the sense that there are things in the world that are stressing me. Of course, there is the ever-ubiquitous work. That is what it is and there’s no changing that. But then there’s politics and health care reform and gay rights and religious rights and all this stuff constantly talked about in the 24 hour news cycle that I get to a point where I just want to take a bat to my TV and just be done with it.
And then there’s stupidity. Also ever-ubiquitous. I can’t get away from it. It’s on the Metro in the mornings and evenings (Stay out of my way and you won’t get your heels stepped on), it’s in the craziness of missed appointments at work during the day, it’s in the homeless guy standing outside of the McDonald’s asking if someone would buy him something to eat (No, I won’t. I just saw you smoking, jackass. Where’d you get the money for THAT?)
Then, there’s media. Did you know that I can’t watch regular television anymore? I simply cannot bring myself to sit and watch weak writing being spoken by weak actors underneath a weak as hell soundtrack.
I’m also tired of people in my personal life. Just generally tired. And it’s kinda funny because I don’t really deal with very many people in my personal life. Just some folks at work, my family and a few friends. But they get to me as well.
So, yes, I am tired. Exhausted even. Hopefully a good night’s sleep will remedy the situation. I doubt it, though.
People will still be stupid when I wake up.
