This is a word that I really hate these days. Simply because it describes so many people that think they are entitled to things that they are not entitled to at all. Today I am musing about entitlement, how did the world become so entitled and why do we think we owed so much? Who exactly owes us this “arbitrary” entitlement? The Government, your parents, Rich White Coots, The Next Generation, The man, Aliens, your neighbors, or just anyone that crosses you?

What makes you so special that you are entitled? I remember a line from Sally, Charlie Brown’s little sister; it was from the Great Pumpkin when she got screwed out of Tricks or Treats by Linus; she screamed:

” I was robbed! I spent the whole night waiting for the Great Pumpkin when I could have been out for tricks or treats! Halloween is over and I missed it! You blockhead! You kept me up all night waiting for the Great Pumpkin and all that came was a beagle! I didn’t get a chance to go out for tricks or treats! And it was all your fault! I’ll sue! What a fool I was. And could have had candy apples and gum! And cookies and money and all sorts of things! But no, I had to listen to you! You blockhead. What a fool I was. Trick or treats come only once a year. And I miss it by sitting in a pumpkin patch with a blockhead. You owe me restitution!“

The truth is dumb little Sally made that bad decision all on her own, and she was just pissed that a smooth talking con man, like Linus, talked her into making a bad decision and she was thinking with her twat not her brain. Fess up Sally you just wanted him to like you, and besides the candy would eventually just make you fat, so face it you dodged the per-verbal bullet, you should just own it. Besides he is just going to lose his hair like all the other men and be a douche bag when he grows up and probably like Charlie Brown.

I think this is true of much of the world right now, people are just making bad choices, and just need someone to blame besides themselves. Mainly because we are in blizzard of “asshole snowflakes” that can not man up and be adults. (which as a sidenote would be a great name for a rock band) These little shits can barely get through the day without toking on a high octane douche flute, because they are so fragile, so of course they have to blame someone when their life goes to shit. However, they are the main source and creator of their own problems and sometime everyone else’s too. Let’s face it, if you are constantly stoned out of your mind and don’t really care about your life why do care about anyone else’s life, your job, or ethics. You don’t actually care about anything, until their are real consequences. Then once those consequences raise their ugly heads it is everyone else’s fault, no yours. Then you run to mommy or daddy to bail your sad ass out of the shit hole your find yourself in. See that how musings work? These are fun right?

Now I am all about being chill, and the CBD benefits and such; but these people are what I call high function addicts. We are talking about ADHD rolling on Adderall, Molly and blunts for breakfast. Then they back into a gas pump, run over your dog while texting, or fall out at the grocery store and it is everyone else’s fault not theirs. Well no snowflake, it’s you, manage your shit and grow up this is not high school anymore, even though you are still living in mommy and daddy’s basement. Just because you have a trust fund does not mean you are untouchable. You can still end up dead in the tub like Whitney Houston, and don’t forget her daughter, Bobbi Kristina, after she drove her Camero into the fountain at her apartment complex before she repeated the same exact behaviors she saw from mommy, just sad. Were they entitled? Did the world make them do this? No, it was all just bad choices, to a very tragic ending.

I see people like this everyday, not even realizing how good they have it and starting unwanted turmoil with others for absolutely no reason except they can and enjoy doing it. People thinking they are entitled to anything and everything; and no respect for other peoples property, feelings or time. Trolls on social media calling it “their playground”, thinking their voice matters, their opinion will save the world, and that is where we are going wrong. Why on earth have we let the most ignorant people have keyboards and a platform to write on with social media? As if the opinion they write on Facebook would actually make a difference in the real world; I mean ugly, fat, bald, middle aged pasty white dudes with more hair on there “chins” and “ball sacks” than anywhere else! God they are the worst and butt ugly to boot. Clearly they have achieved so much, and have all the money in the world to fix such underlying atrocities in their own appearance to make them more creditable. Maybe they just think it is gauche to look like that? Well newsflash it is not! Keep driving that forklift in the warehouse as your main source of income until you die, because clearly your life choices worked out so well for you.

The other entitled group I really hate are the bible thumpers, they might be some of the worst. Always touting proverbs and God to make themselves “seem” better. However, I do like to fuck with them, and have deep conversations with them since I studied some theology; which by the ways blows their mind. Since most of them have not even cracked open the Bible, much less read the entire thing cover to cover; so this conversation gets interesting really quickly. See as a trust fund nepo baby you can study anything you want to as you travel around the world on mommy and daddy’s dime while you “find yourself”, true story. Then you learn a lot more about not being entitled as you see how other countries survive, and live and what those third worlds really look like, not just what a card board box on your porch for a can-a-thon at Christmas can do, but what do I know?

Another thing I have been hearing a lot recently has been the “eat the rich” syndrome in regards to entitlement. Here are my thought on this, you can’t buy class, smarts, self respect or happiness; but you can buy pretty much anything else. You can buy looks, anti aging, the ability to be skinny, hair plugs, happiness; you see if you are ugly there is surgery, if you are fat there are shots & pills, if you are unhappy well you drink booze or take “happy pills”. While it may be a false sense of all it the emotions you can actually buy most of them for a brief period of time, but the happiness is the most important. Happiness comes from with in, and people will try to steal it or suck it out of you if you have it, as if they are entitled to have it too, but they are not. They must figure out how to make their own, you do not owe them nothin’~
