Anger management...
It’s not anger as much as it’s irritation – well OK yeah…things piss me right the fuck off. And it’s not so much expressing things as it is sarcasm...but then I DO rant...oh well
LOL
So here’s some irritation.
Yesterday, one of my students showed up for class and she seemed irritated. I greeted her and asked her how she was doing. She barely acknowledged me. The she began to complain about lugging her Yoga gear to class saying (and I quote verbatim): “It makes me feel like a bag lady. I hope no one I knew saw me. I didn’t know Jazercise was the same night as this class” (Implying WHAT exactly – that you WOULD have taken THAT class instead?????)
WHAT. THE. FUCK.
Here’s a clue – don’t take my class. I don’t want to hear your complaints. I don’t need ANYONE as a student this badly. Go take your Jazzercise class already.
Then there’s friends/acquaintances that feel by giving you advice about your relationship and what their take on your decisions, that they are doing you some kind of favour or being really good friends...
Um I have some advice for you. Mind your own business. If I want your opinion I WILL ask you (honest - you gotta trust me here..). What you are doing boils down to meddling pure and simple – and I also have to at some point question your motives.
One last thing...
There are people in my life that I WANT a relationship with. Some might even say I am OBLIGATED to have one with them. However, I am not willing to do ALL the work anymore. I want to get together with them. I want to stay close with them but it can not be a one-way street. Life is short and such things ARE important but if trying to see people is going to cause stress and hardship and it’s not AS important to them, then why bother? It’s just not worth the heartache on either side of the fence I suppose.

Jesus Christ!!!!
Thanks, I needed that!!!
I've been walking around all afternoon chewing nails and complaining bitterly about the asshats I work with until I thought M'Lady would throw me into the pond to cool off (it's frozen over).
And then I read this post about our post modern heroine that wants to tell her yoga student where to get off and what to do when she gets there!!!! Priceless Gandhi!!!
I thought I was gonna hurt myself laughing!!! Peace, love and Kumbaya!!!
It's gotta be the phase of the moon we're in or as a wise man once said "It must be a full sun!"
Squire,
First off it is not a requirement that Yoga teachers be kind and nice all the damn time - when students need kicked in the ass you are 'suppose' to do that too - not be judgmental - but not be so sugar sweet either. I've had my Yoga teacher get really angry with me - rightly so. I did not say a word to this woman - but I also don't think she should show up whining at me. And don't think for one instant Gandhi didn't give people crap when they needed it - I think people get the wrong perception of Yoga teachers - it's hard to be a Yoga teacher and sometimes not really want to berate your students - we are after all still human.
As my teacher once said: 'If you are here in a body you must be working on something' - makes me smile every time.
I agree though - there has been lately a very high level of fucktard behaviour going on which in turn makes us that have to deal with it rather cranky. Perhaps I need my OWN Yoga class - i.e. 'Physician heal thyself'
Glad I could make you laugh my dear....
Hey you should send me your e-mail and contact info one of these days....
