Talking To You


Why I don't get along with people:

1) SKEWERED JUDGEMENT: One-fifth of the population is on 5 prescription drugs (or more).

a) METH HEADS, CRACK HEADS, 80 million practicing ALCOHOLICS

b) OPIOIDS, synthetic, prescription, or otherwise

Some people with c) All of the above

2) SURVEILLANCE: in casual conversation people look for evidence. They talk like Perry Mason and you sit and answer. They search for a soundbite to hold over you. No trust can be had.

a) FACEBOOK - self-policing gossip wire full of mentally ill people with big mouths

b) TEXT - communication by avoidance, leaving a written record, so impersonal


3) STUNTED DEVELOPMENT: A great amount of people never read a book after high school. They may have married their HS sweetheart. They may have never left the county except by television.

a) INSECURITIES: whipped puppies afraid of their shoes. Clinginess is not attractive.

b) DADDY ISSUES: they always have someone to blame

c) MOMMY ISSUES: fixated on the holes in their bodies.

d) ANTI-INTELLECTUALISM - being smart by being proud of their boring lives


4) COOL KIDS - the high school lunch room with delineated tables is the model for modern society. I'm a Bear fan in Cheeseland, how lonely.

a) Kiss ass to belong with your talent resented or abused

5) FOUNDATIONS OF CLAY - everyone holds bat-shit crazy, illogical beliefs and values and would take a bullet in the neck defending them. It's hard to have a conversation after a short time. Agree or go away.... Go Pack.


6) SMARTYPANTS - experts everywhere, accessible and 100% correct in all diagnoses and advice. Scarecrows from the Ivory Tower, mostly, or YouTube University. Medical world, accepted distributors of poison.

a) DOROTHY: How can you talk if I haven't got a brain?

SCARECROW: I don't know. But some people without brains do an awful lot of talking.

b) PHSYCHIATRY/PSYCHOLOGIST PLAY ACTORS - insidious cutting language meant to devalue other people. Common put-downs in fancy talk, sounding pseudo-smart. A bit guilty here, I admit.

c) BACK AT YA - Who is 'they'?

7) LIVING TOMBSTONES - trying to figure out how to smoke a cigarette around their oxygen tank. Triple vaccinated, barely surviving. I don't have a lot of help in me these days.


8) BOSSISM - the workplace relationship is the most duplicated. One person becomes the giver of orders and the other takes and does them unquestioningly. I'm not that person and I don't want to be Boss, either.

a) RALPH: I'm the Boss and your nuttin'.

NORTON: Then you're the Boss of nuttin'.

b) MAMA BEARS - reminding me to wear my mittens when it's cold out

9) HUH? WHAT? - I always seem to interrupt their cyber conversation. That's the real one, the one that counts. IOMS strikes again!

a) PANDEMIC - Immediate dismissal upon hearing that word. No more died than the year before. Don't you know? Spreading fear is your job? or RU stupid?

10) AGE - I've out lasted all the interesting ones. People are dull.

IOMS*


I'm feeling a malaise coming from my incurable disease, IOMS or Invisible Old Man Syndrome. Recent encounters with retail clerks or phone data collectors has proven to me without a doubt when I vibrate my vocal chords and send a sound wave, it immediately shuts down the receiver, a robot bio-product from the manufacturer, HUH, a subsidiary of corporate giant WHAT. The more I see this behavior in my more personal encounters shows me it is the receivers' passive-aggressive, Daddy issue baggage, control the situation totally freak, power move to put me in my place.

"You talk softly" . No I don't. You listen like you are in a cloud somewhere else. As if I am interrrupting you watching TV. The same glare.

Try to listen, please. This Old Man's rage has returned.

I'm talking extra loud and clearly these days for everyone's benefit and precious time.
