I Have Discovered My Super Power
Posted by Simple Dude | Posted in Random Simplicity | Posted on 28-02-2013
Before reading this you may want to read my post on Monday about my complaining ways. Things piss me off in life, and I usually feel the need to tell people about it. If that makes me a complainer (or a bitcher) then so be it.
This has never bothered me in the past, but in recent weeks I’ve started to wonder if seeing the world from such a negative viewpoint is the healthiest way to go through life. For the most part I have always been a glass half-full kind of dude. I can see the beauty in things pretty easily. But when it comes to morons, idiots, stupid people and the crap they put the rest of us through I have little patience.
Last week while on vacation I caught an episode of a show I didn’t even realize was on TV. The Jeff Probst Show. He is the dude that hosts Survivor and apparently has a daytime talk show now where he interviews people. The things you miss out on by having a job huh?
Anyway on this particular episode Dr. Drew Pinsky and Adam Corolla were on talking about their Love Line days, as well as what they are up to now. Incidentally I used to listen to Love Line on the radio all the time – that was some funny shit. But Jeff Probst brought up something to Adam Corolla that got my attention. Adam is a master complainer. He can take any topic and find some reason to bitch about it.
They tested this by having an audience member throw out a random topic (birthdays) and he went on a rant about it. I am 100% positive I can do this exact same thing. I’ve tried a couple times with the Lady Friend and found it quite easy to piss and moan about almost any subject. I can even find things to bitch about with things I ENJOY like sports and beer.
So I am now embracing it. My super power is complaining and I’m damn proud of it!!

According to my gf you & I are apparently cut from the same cloth. I make jokes that I “bitch about everything,” and she agrees with me WAY too readily. I laugh nervously and she just looks at me.

You’re okay. My wife tells me the same thing about my bitching and moaning but I say if it’s not right, say something about it. If we did not have bitchers and moaners how would we know anything is wrong? It would be boring as all hell if we were all alike.

That is funny. I’ll have find my own super powers, complaining aside. Humm… Drinking to much wine could be a good place to start… He,he.

And you should be proud. Not everyone can bitch and moan on a super power level and make the rest of us laugh at the same time.

I love it! I feel like I shouldn’t complain, but then I always feel so liberated after a good rant! What is that? I don’t know. But I love the idea of embracing it!

Yup, I’m back… bitch about that?
Honestly if bitching burned calories I would NEVER have to go to the gym again. Which would be awesome. I could spend that $20 a month on things I need. Like Starbucks, redbull, and vodka.

So can you do a rant about birthdays too? And people in lifts/elevators?

Some days things roll off my back and then we have days like today when every little thing pisses me off and I am a nightmare to be around……………

Yep complaining/bitterness is easy to do. All you have to is is hit the luck fairy with your car. Repeatedly.
Then boom. Blog and talk show material.
