Bitching and Moaning - Ranting for the Helluvit

[Zurtok Khan]

Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.
-Buddha

Bitching and moaning seems to be a favorite pasttime around here.  There is always something to complain about (including people complaining!).  It's easy to find things to complain about.  Sometimes it's even fun.  But, it doesn't get you anywhere.  Unless you'd like to become some bitter hopeless person sitting in their mother's basement wearing all black and listening to Dashboard Confessional.

Emo, ladies and gents, is not a joke.  It is real.  All the bitching and moaning and yelling and screaming going on around here is Hardcore Emo.  You're all being the fucking Emo OpieZ you joke about.  Or, at least thats what you choose to do around here.  I hope for your sakes you're different people in the world where you actually have to get along with people or get fucked up (being a jackass online proves nothing when theres a thousand miles between two people, being a jackass to someone's face like you do here will get you fucked up or thrown in jail).

I'm fairly sure that you all know this anyway.  I'm just blowing smoke.  You know it, but you don't want to admit it.  Or, maybe you feel that being a jackass to people can make up for some insecurity you have (the Scrid confided in me the other day that Hugh has a small pecker   ), or something, I'm not Dr. Phil, I dunno.  But, I'm fairly sure that the only people who are miserable, are the ones who want to be miserable.

Go slit your wrists and get it over with.  Fucking Emo OpieZ.

Yes, I made it through HS biology by telling a teacher she had nice hair (in reality it was a mullet).  It gets you far.

I like a world where no one bitches and moans.... no whiny poems, no blogs, no angst filled music... It makes for interesting news... having someone go postal every 5 minutes.

Seriously though, herein lies the question. If one is ranting... isn't that just another term for 'bitching and moaning?'

Sign in a restaurant I go to:

Women do not burp, fart or snore, so we have to bitch or we will blow up

:P    :P

And if we're lucky to aim first, we'll splat all over the clothes of the chauvinist standing beside us.

Everything is dependent upon perspective. One persons bitch & moan, is another's venting of emotions, thoughts and ideals, that may gain the attentions of others, and thus carry on to evoke emotions, thoughts and ideals in their own right.
For instance, positing the question itself could be considered exemplar. And yet, this is not a perfect world and so it continues, because perfect would be boring.

"Emotion turning back on itself, and not leading on to thought or action, is the element of madness."  ~John Sterling

Expertly. And I thought the subscription to the Cookie-of-the-Month
Club was a nice touch.

Didn't I get that point across?

Nope.

There is always something to complain about (including people complaining!). It's easy to find things to complain about.

Ahem, yes I did.

*shrugs* I was just thinking about the whole:

Kind of make 99% of the population Emo.

Yes, but I know I'll be shot with love when you do it Eld.

I actually dont think this applies to me much either.  Ever since I stopped giving a fuck, my life has been much easier, funnier, and painful for others.
