I need the local newscast like a pregnant woman needs folic acid.
After years of watching Atlanta news a minimum of 2x/day, I've come to realize that like history, the daily news repeats itself every now and then.
"Let his a** f****** jump!"
That's what I screamed at the TV last night when I learned that, yet again, some crazy guy had climbed to the top of a construction crane and threatened to jump. You should have seen the chaos surrounding the attempt to get this wacko down from the crane. APD had a chunk of Peachtree shut down and even inflated one of those gigantic water trampoline thingeys.
My creator cheated me in the area of compassion. But even if I did have my fair share, I can't imagine wasting any of it on this freak. I'm so sick of f****d up adults acting like they're actually f****d up more than anybody else. Wacko shouldn't have climbed up a Buckhead crane; instead, he should have climbed into the elevator of a Buckhead high rise and visited a therapist! Let's face it, every adult on the face of this planet is messed up in one way or another. But, as adults, we need to take steps daily to heal ourselves. Attention-seeking acts like this are just plain stupid. If you want to kill yourself, go ahead. But clogging up Peachtree was wrong on so many levels.
Find your version of folic acid - prayer, meditation, a nap, laughter, a long drive, therapy, etc. - and take it daily. And recognize a construction crane for its intended purpose - a piece of machinery used to build something bigger and better than what's there now.
