Evil Parents, Cell Phones and ADHD.

I've been spending quite a bit of time as of late, wondering why people are unfriendly, particularly parents of young children. I went to the park this weekend with my kids and attempted many times to either make eye contact or to say hello to other parents. No one was biting. One 'mother' talked with me for a bit, but after an obvious stint of jealousy on behalf of the 'father', that conversation was terminated. What are these people afraid of? I'm not going to ask for their food or to have them put us up in their house. I won't even request a play-date (how bizarre is it that we as parents have to schedule play time for the kids?).

More often than not, I've had much difficulty in striking up conversation with parents at kid-oriented events or locations. I don't like to assume, but maybe the fact that most of them have a cell phone either mounted to their ear, or glued to their hands might be the give-away. What is wrong with these people that when they're spending time with their kids at the park, they must jaw away with someone on the cell phone at all times? Are these people a product of the 80s? Were they all latch-key kids who are now rebeling by ignoring their own kids? Maybe because a good portion of parents these days are what I call 'Skeletors'... These emaciated mothers in their early 40s with kids between 1 and 5. How did this happen? What magazine told these creatures that 'the thing to do' was to have kids when you were old, then diet to the point that you look like a haggard Ethiopian? Who are these old mothers who are evil, old, skinny and self-important?

Hmm. Now it seems as though I'm about to launch into an anti-yuppie/soccer-mom rant. Maybe I should. The world cannot be rid soon enough of these people. Soylent Green and Logan's Run...

No One Wants to Play

So I've been baiting these spammers with bizarre responses about being poisoned or sodomized or having organs removed, and they've stopped emailing me. I am not sure if they simply are afraid or are now plotting to take me out...

I've introduced Zintrigali the Poisoner and Mtubu the Sodomizer. They may be characters in an upcoming saga about world dominanace. We'll see. Right now I am just focused on selling my house, finalizing my new house and getting a job. This all may turn out to be fiction before the day is through. No one seems to appreciate my humor.
