Not a lot to see here, other than an: "Old man yells at cloud" type of rant.
But, I think I'm old enough now, to have earned the right to a few of those. :P
For the short and dirty:
I've said in more than one previous piece that there are certain sayings and expressions that are almost never uttered in a truly sincere and/or truthful fashion. One of the newer and more trendy ones that really grinds my gears is variations of the three-word phrase: "You do you!"
I have yet to see that phrase written or spoken in anything other than mere passive-aggressiveness at its mildest, most larval form, and ranging through bitter sarcasm or: "You done f**ked up!" in some of its harsher forms.
I never thought I would see the day when something could give: "Have a nice life!" a run for its money.
