@TheBloggess Probably Hates Me, Anyway

Seems there’s an awful lot of passive-aggressive shit going through the air of late. It’s almost worse than the H1N1 virus. I’m thinking maybe I need to get myself a surgical mask to protect myself from all those headgames-playing germs.

I’m tired. All the time, lately, it seems. Not sleepy tired (though there’s always that, too), but emotionally and mentally tired. Lots of anxiety and stress-laden crap has been on my plate for months now. And just as I handle one thing, another 2 or 3 things pop up onto the plate. I’m not the only one, either…many friends are enduring similar life farts.

So when, on top of me getting my car smashed this week and personal relationship troubles, I start receiving the passive-aggressive emails or phone calls or DM’s, well…I just want to punch people in the crotch.

I guess you don’t really care about me.

If you loved me, you’d _____.

I know you’re busy, so you don’t have to talk to me if you don’t want to. I’m sure I’ll be just fine.

It must be nice to just say whatever you want without thinking of other people’s feelings.

Blah, blah, blah. I’m done with it all. These things are coming from Grown-Ass-Adults, people. Not 7-year-olds, not even junior high kids. Adults. Who clearly have not yet learned the lesson that LIFE IS MUCH SIMPLER WHEN YOU JUST SAY WHAT THE FUCK IS ON YOUR MIND. Give it a shot. You might be surprised.

Shannon recently wrote a post about living life without a vocal filter. It’s one of many things I love about her, that lack of a filter. Course, it gets her into trouble at times, because it’s not everyone who likes complete, blunt honesty. But I like it. A lot.

The people I choose to surround myself with speak plainly, honestly, without head games. And I like that. A lot. The older I get, the more discriminating I become in who I let into that “inner circle” of people. And the more I start eliminating those who play the Passive-Aggressive Game…or at least push them to the outer circles.

I don’t have time for the bullshit. I don’t want to MAKE time for the bullshit, either. If you have something to say to me, fucking SAY IT. If you need something of me, fucking ASK ME. Don’t try to guilt me into doing shit, or make some cryptic remark about me and expect me to “get it.” Just TELL ME what you want me to know.

However, if you still see fit to play the games, just don’t be stunned when I rip off all your hair with a weedwhacker.

No matter regarding the passive-agressive shit. Tonight, on SecondHand Radio, I have a special guest who probably already hates me, anyway: Jenny, The Bloggess. I’m sure you’ve heard of her, she’s a fairly big deal on the Interwebz. And tonight she’ll be joining me for an hour of live conversation.

It took a lot of harassment sweet-talking to get Jenny to agree to be on the show. I may have sent my SecondHand Army after her on Twitter to make it happen, but she caved in eventually.

I met Jenny very briefly in Chicago for BlogHer. She handed me some cool stickers and even may have smiled in my general direction for a moment. We shook hands and I swear I heard her mutter under her breath, “Douchebag,” but I could be wrong. Then she gave me this expectant look while holding out her ring hand for me to kiss. I think it was me licking from her fingers up to her elbow that may have turned her off. Hard to say.

But she’ll be with me tonight, that’s for sure. And you can join in, too. It’ll be fun! And how amazing is it that this is the 69th episode of SecondHand Radio on Talkshoe? Yep.

Every one of you is welcome to call in and talk with us. The phone number is 724-444-7444, Call ID 23738. You can call in just to say hi to Jenny, or ask her a question, or maybe even say something to me.

I highly recommend that you go to my SecondHand Radio info page, register at Talkshoe.com and download the Talkshoe client (though not required, I think it’s a superior chatroom experience).

Tell all your friends. And if you have trouble getting into the show for some reason, feel free to call in (using the phone number below) and you can listen on the phone that way. I can leave you on mute, if you prefer.

Showtime: 10PM EST, 9PM CST, 8PM Mountain, 7PM Pacific
