I'm so tired
of trying to be a good citizen and posting messages of concern to me and my community only to have to wade through dozens of flaming personal attacks. Does anyone else feel this way? I recently posted an "opinion" on a Nancy Grace broadcast where she (in my opinion) equated transexuals with child molesters and child killers. I was called a liar, not very bright, told I wasn't paying attention, etc. What the hell?

2. There are people like that here.
There are also a lot more people who aren't like that here. You can only do what you do and if you enlighten only one other person on a subject, then you did good.

4. meh...the world's chock full of total assholes
I should know, I'm generally counted among their number.

Nice earworm, at any rate! :D

I'm so tired, I haven't slept a wink
I'm so tired, my mind is on the blink
I wonder should I get up and fix myself a drink
No,no,no.

I'm so tired I don't know what to do
I'm so tired my mind is set on you
I wonder should I call you but I know what you would do

You'd say I'm putting you on
But it's no joke, it's doing me harm
You know I can't sleep, I can't stop my brain
You know it's three weeks, I'm going insane
You know I'd give you everything I've got
for a little peace of mind

I'm so tired, I'm feeling so upset
Although I'm so tired I'll have another cigarette
And curse Sir Walter Raleigh
He was such a stupid git.

You'd say I'm putting you on
But it's no joke, it's doing me harm
You know I can't sleep, I can't stop my brain
You know it's three weeks, I'm going insane
You know I'd give you everything I've got
for a little peace of mind
I'd give you everything I've got for a little peace of mind
