Volunteered through work today out at Woodland Zoo here in Seattle for the Big Brothers and Big Sisters picnic. Last year Becky and I did the Bikers for Babies rally in Kansas City! I am always broke and live paycheck to paycheck most of the time....so giving of my time feels good!
Isn't it ironic that my charitable high was ruined by going out in public!! I'm on this incredible "life is beautiful" buzz right now anyway, so I wasn't totally averted from my outlook on life.
I've just lost all faith in humanity! People are disgusting. Here we are for the kids, and the adults were the ones behaving badly. Greedy, sneaky, rude, ungrateful. And I even watched a guy act like he was putting his ticket IN the bucket to eat, slyly reach in a TAKE a few more out!!! This was a grown ass man! What kind of "Big Brother" is that? Not an example I'd want my kids around. The only saving grace was that most of the Big Brothers and Sisters we're better role models than the parents themselves!
I'm tellin ya....I hope the world changes fast. It's going to hell in a hand basket!
I couldn't agree more. Reminds me a bit of the parent who was recently arrested because she suffocated both her young children and then drove her car into a river with them inside to make it look like an accident...
ReplyDeleteI mean, what parent doesn't feel like they want to kill their kids now and again, but to ACTUALLY do it?!?!?
Society is beyond fucked, if you ask me.
