Preparing for a new job

I'm going to write, this summer.

I'm going to spend this summer preparing to do professional investing.

I'm going to do my service at Capital City.

And then I am leaving this field.

I just got a reminder of our new cluster rule that students who sleep in class have to leave.

And I'm thinking, "If you can't ever let these kids fail, they will never learn the lessons. And if everyone is going to be a dumbass, enough, that they never learn the lessons, then I need to leave this foolish final bastion of socialism and all of its ridiculous logic and go do something that actually does some good in this world."

I say let dumbasses marinate together. And if they can't learn the lessons, then they can all deal with the consequences on their own. Especially decisions that are imposed on me against my will.

I am tired of dealing with the stupid consequences of other peoples' stupid decisions. I need a life that is my own and where my choices determine my own fate, good and bad.

I'll use this summer to prepare for that life.

And let dumbasses who would turn to rules rather than freedom to solve their problems to deal with the consequences of their own dumbass decisions.

Life isn't fair

I've finally come to some conclusion about life, for my kids as much as for me.

Life fuckin' sucks, often. And it is often not fair.

But we have to be responsible for it anyway. That's all there is to it. It's too complicated and there is too much room for rationalization to do otherwise.

So life sucks. We gotta fuckin' deal, pick up, and be responsible for the rest of what life has to offer. Because there is no other reliable way out. Period. And if you think otherwise, you're living in a fuckin' dreamworld.

And life doesn't have to be so bad, in the meantime, if only decide to have a good experience despite all the shittiness.

Life is full of assholes who reason poorly. It fuckin' sucks, much of the time, I must admit.

But its the only world we have.

And each of us is generally one of those assholes who reason poorly.

So suck it up, forgive the bullshit, and play ball.

And have a good life while you're at it.
