Patience is a virtue
Whatever happened to patience? I remember back in the day when I had none either, then I realized it's like a constant ball of stress waiting to explode. I still notice it now and then when I am driving, and it probably will get me killed someday. But that's okay, because I am an angry wonderful aggressive defensive driver. If you have driven with me, that last sentence might make a little more sense. Point is, seems everyone these days is incredibly impatient. And not just when driving, constantly. At the grocery store, in the bank, at the gas station, anything that involves a wait longer than ten seconds will leave someone fuming. I saw an older woman today at the bus stop pacing and pacing and probably nearly having a stroke with the amount of anxiety I could see coursing through the veins in her neck. Guess what, the bus is coming- chilllllllllll.
Maybe it's just because I used to be a pot head, that may have knocked down my nerves a bit that I am more tolerant at a lot of things. But I have noticed lately a complete lack of tolerance. And not to call you out, ladies, but it seems to be more with women than men.
Men are impatient about the simple things. Getting sex, getting drunk, getting food, the simple pleasures. A man will get angry if a girl makes him wait to take off her panties, if he has to wait in line for a beer, or if their roomates can't fucking decide already where to eat and he feels his stomach starting to devour some surrounding muscles- that is what he will get impatient regarding.
With women, it's anybody's guess. Being unemployed the past week, I obviously spent a little too much time on the computer. But I don't just sit and chat- I write, as you all hopefully understand, I invest, I harass, I research, whatever. Just because my computer is on doesn't mean I am there to chat. So, that being said, sometimes I am... distracted. Hell I might be watching porn. You can tell if my typing speed is greatly reduced- one hand can do that. Point is, I'm not always enthralled in the basic conversation, which normally is nothing but chit chat anyway. I have noticed that if I do not completely immerse myself in even the most petty conversation, or God forbid I get up to make a sandwich or answer nature when she beckons- I come back to screaming and shouting and disgust. By screaming and shouting I of course mean bold, italic, or most times just capital letters with some !!!!!!!!!@$!$(!# after. Whoa, my bad.
That's not the only thing women have seemed to be incredibly impatient about. Phone calls. Boy oh boy. Guys, if there is any advice I can give you about women and phones, never, never never never ever make an "appointment" to call her at a certain time. Because if you mention you will call after this or that (eg after the gym) she will expect a call around exactly the time you normally get out. And often times will make sure she is available and probably will put on makeup and do her hair for the conversation. So, whatever you do, keep your seemingly minor committments as GENERAL and BROAD as possible. Otherwise, good luck. If only men and women could sign a contract about terminology, and understanding, when it comes to the telephone- world peace would be possible.
Anyway, I don't know, I lost track. Anger is boring, and a waste of time and energy. Anger is a terrible consequence of being impatient. Impatience caused us to invade Iraq, and will probably cause us to bomb Iran or North Korea in the next few years. Did you know the price of gas a gallon in Iraq last month was EIGHTY SIX CENTS? Hey, if our war can't solve the whole "freedom with democracy" bullshit our fearless leader is being told to pledge, ya think we could at least forcefully steal some black gold. But hey, what do I know?

Not all women are like that..Speaking for myself, I had a boyfriend who would rarely call me when he said he would. You know I'd be talking to him and he said he'd call me back in 10 minutes and then 2 hours later I'd get the call. It never bothered me though because I knew he was a busy guy and why bother bitching about it? I do have to say I hate waiting in line when there is granny in front of me counting out a million pennies to pay for her depends. That does piss me off, especially if there are like 10 clerks wondering around the store doing nothing while one is checking a line full of people out.

Meh, I'm laid back as hell...and I have tits. Maybe it comes from working retail, maybe it comes from the military (The Army strongly believes in and enforces "Hurry Up & Wait."). I personally, just don't give a shit. Sooner or later I'll get to where I'm going and finish what I'm doing, so why stress about it? Jeez...and I'm like this normally. Imagine me as a stoner? It's a good thing I've never bothered with it.
