Motherfucking Bullshit

I'm a pretty busy guy, lots of irons in the figurative fire, family obligations including a 4 year old girl and a 4 month old puppy that's already got the body of a fully grown dog as well as all the follies of everyday life as a human in a world that baffles them. I'm pretty busy, but it's not the worst thing in the world. I don't use it as an excuse. I know everyone's got shit to do.

What I don't understand is how people either aren't thoughtful or respectful enough to adhere to a commitment or tell me to fuck clean off instead of ducking me or just letting scheduled appointments or deadlines pass by. Or not returning calls, voice mails, emails, and smoke signals sent.

That's not only disrespectful, it pretty much paints you as a fucking coward. If I am tired of someone, don't want to deal with them, or simply can't make the time for them I tell them. At the very least I ask for them to hold off for a while while I situate things. I never leave them floating around in the ether.

We're all busy. I don't care if you're a housewife, a film producer, or a comic book artist. We are all busy.

So either be a grown up and cut the string or owe up to an obligation. Life's too short.
