cake

On my way to work this morning I passed a school bus stop (what is it with the bus stops?) and at it two little guys (maybe 8 yrs old?) beating the immortal shit out of each other. They both still had their backpacks on and were throwing punches as they fell to the ground...big brother, or at least an older looking kid, was standing over them watching, and eating an apple. A game gone awry? A bet? One called the other's mother a who-ere (that's whore with a Scottish accent, and another story altogether)...who knows, but I came up with a few things I think are worth fighting for. I don't see myself EVER rolling on the ground punching the neighbor in the head, but I'm scrappy, and if ya mess with me, well...never know.

For my right to party...sorry, lame, had to go there...moving on.

My place in line at a ladies room when I REALLLLY have to pee...I will give a bye to a pregnant lady or a little kid, but bitch, if you ain't either: step back and wait your damn turn...please...even worse: if my Pea has been standing in line and you cut in front of her cuz you figure SHE can't kick your ass...I am lioness, hear me roar (yes, this happened the other day, the nerve of some people!).

A really good parking space that I scoped out and have been waiting for while the lady got all her shit in the car, checked her phone, re-applied her lipstick, started the car, adjusted the radio, and FINALLY decided to back out of...ESPECIALLY in the pouring rain. I'm sorry: if I am sitting there with my blinker on, I got next...move along.

Ok, so no, those aren't worth coming to blows over...but what is? Is it EVER ok to knock someone upside the head (even if they deserve it)? I certainly think there are those who walk the earth that shouldn't (think pedophile) and should have their naughty parts removed rather savagely and left to bleed to death while writhing on the ground, but other than that? Seems the whole world is at war right now and for what? We like to say we are fighting for justice, human rights, etc. but are we really just killing people, and allowing our own people to die, for oil and diamonds?

What is really worth fighting for?

Life, love, democracy, freedom, fair and equal rights for ALL people, the right to speak your mind (even if you prove yourself an idiot), safety and the safety of your family, your health and the ability to obtain quality health care, education, our food supply and clean drinking water...oh, and cake, especially chocolate...don't ever try and take cake away from me...I will cut you.
