People Who Are Having a Worse Monday Than You

I’m in Monday denial, you guys. I’ve been the laziest human being on the planet all weekend, and, I love you, but I am soooo not feeling like working right now. I’m really way too busy feeling sorry for myself, which is what happens when I spend an entire weekend being lazy and get stuck in my head, where I invent problems with which to entertain myself.

So I’m fucking around on the computer, doing ANYTHING but my job, and I’m really just devoting all my energy to self-pity, which is kind of like a black hole in the sense that the more it sucks in the more powerful it becomes. (Strangely, the same can be said for Karrine “Supahead” Steffans.) But I wind up on CNN.com, and do you guys know that there is so much tragic shit going on right now? I mean, is shit always this tragic, or does it just seem like it right now? Here’s a run-down of the tragic shit going on right now:

1) The Jennifer Hudson uber-tragedy.
2) Four high-school cheerleaders — two of whom were sisters — killed in a horrific car crash in Tennessee. Also dead: the driver of the other car, and the unborn child of one of its passengers.
3) Two dead in an Arkansas university shooting.
4) That young TV anchor found brutally beaten last week? Died of her injuries over the weekend. Police still have no suspect or motive, and believe the attack may have been random.

And that’s just the shit on CNN right now. And I didn’t even count the war stuff.

Goddamn.

Maybe I’ll just forward this URL to CuteOverload.com for the week. News is awful. Aminals are awesome.

  • I go to CuteOverload.com CONstantly! I was just there two seconds ago, watching little videos. That is the best, THE best site online, bar none, for helping ease depression or sadness of any kind. It really is. That little animal site is the best drug-free anti-depressant I’ve found anywhere, and it really does work.

  • I’m glad you mentioned this. I feel like we all have a tendency to get bitchy and forget that things could be so so so much worse.

  • why work right now anyways???
    work don’t start til monday morning!
    hey-yo!

    get to bed and go at it tomorrow

    or watch jerry mcguire on demane a la me style

  • well, over there at cuteoverload, you can see this tribute video of the hand-holding otter that has JUST DIED, so yeah, that will cheer you right up

    ugh :(

  • i understand 100 friggin % beet, i just called up my mom at work telling her i puked so i wont have to go to school. those people are obviously having a worse day. my prayers go out to the families of those killed.

  • I live in Arkansas where two of those tragic things have happened. It sucks and it’s horrible and I feel horrible and I wasn’t even closely affected by it. All this hate needs to stop. It’s horrible.

  • sometimes i go for days at a stretch without watching/reading any news because it’s overwhelmingly depressing. i think it’s ok to take a breather.

  • and that’s why i come here to escape the shittiness of the real world… and have obviously failed, becuase it followed me here. dammit.

  • gosh, when i’m sad or get tired of reading bad news it always make me smile when i reminisce about someone that dedicated her life to providing endless hours of happiness and glee to the beets of the world and to those of us that anxiously await the next tragic figure so we can pummel them with our jeers and cheers! then, when i’m through, i go look at some puppies.
