An April Fool, I'm Not!

I can't believe it's April. One-fourth of the year is shot to hell. I say this shit all the time...but it's always amazing. I DO think April is a time of assessment, in terms of how your year is going compared to the way you felt on New Year's Eve. I may have written the same shit last year. I'm actually fairly happy...fairly. A TON of chaos and stress...but things are starting to settle. Kinda. Fuck this analysis. It IS undeniable, though, that my State of Zen has been pretty robust the past week...coinciding with the longest stretch in ages where I haven't seen my parents. Is that awful? The correlation is beyond clear, but I've always known this. I'll say it a million times...AVOIDANCE IS KEY. At least for ME, in MY life. My parents, Dipshit, the general public. If i'm stressed, or even if i'm NOT, all their ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba banter raises my blood pressure in seconds. The key is to BE ALONE. I had a passing thought last night that I should get rid of my cell phone...and not get another one. I'm still hung up on last night's events. But it was good...a lesson learned. NEVER again will I hang in a bar under those circumstances. I know what I like, and I will not endure patience-testing social situations just to "be social." This has been another rambling blog. I had nothing special to say. Merely wanted to note it was April Fool's Day and tried to put a clever spin on it in my title. Went from there. Nothing genius, to be sure. I could also say how I certainly wasn't FOOLish at ShopRite tonight...more great buys. I also went up on the roof this afternoon to usher in April. March was crazy. April will be even better. I'm done. Carry on with your day.
