I swear to God that I am a happy person. I am not bitter and miserable all the time. It just may seem that I am that way lately. Because… people.

I will openly admit that I do have a tendency to get a bit uppity. It’s not my fault.

I can’t help it if complete idiots are allowed to roam the Earth unsupervised.

I’d like to create a separate island where a giant magnet comes out of the sky and just moves all of them there to make each other miserable for all eternity. I do not, sadly, have the ability to make this happen. If you know someone who does, please let them know I want to chat.

Let me share with you what’s done it this time.

This week, French writer Yann Moix, who ironically is 50 years old, in a wild display of craptastic ignorance stated that he is incapable of loving a 50-year-old woman. Why, you ask?

Because the body of a 25-year-old is extraordinary. According to Monsieur Douchebag, there is nothing extraordinary about the body of a 50-year-old woman.
