I’d like to tell all the people who’ve begged me for money in the name of some dumb thing they believe in or are supporting lately — and it’s been shockingly many — to go fuck themselves. That includes the broad who sent the email out to 200 people talking about what a challenge it was for her to prepare for some dumb walking thing this past weekend where she was going to be walking 26 miles over two days or something and that it was “so worth it” because it was for such a good cause and that I should have given her money because she’s such a good person to have taken on such a task for something she has such belief in. I was like, you know what dumbass? That’s not shit. Run a marathon with one leg for fun if you want to impress me. Go walk your sorry able-bodied ass around a lake all weekend and act like you’re sacrificing yourself because you think you’re so great, but do it without my money.
Everywhere I turn people are expecting me or asking me to support them for doing something for some special cause. Fuck that. You know what I do when I want to support a cause/charity/anything? I support it directly. Stop making it seem like everyone is an unthinking, uncaring shitbag but you and we all need you to tell us what’s good and what we should believe in and where we should send our charity. I’m a grown-up. I can figure that shit out for myself.
And if I want to keep my money and my support closer to home, that’s my business and my right too. Fucking ass cracks.
Only in America can people make something like helping others or giving to a charity all about them.
That prep put you in a real good mood, didn’t it!!!
But I totally agree. It’s been insane lately with the beggars. I refuse to call them fund-raisers. I think the dirtiest phrase out there is “raise awareness”. As my buddy Aitch would say, EFF that.
I think for having not eaten anything solid since Sunday, and for having not been nearly as much of a pig as I intended to be after my race on that day, and for having been up since 3:00 this morning, and for not being able to even take a sip of water for the last 7 hours since I woke up or for next 5 (estimated) when I’ll wake up again, I’m in a fine fuckin mood.
As tight as you are with a penny I’m surprised you donate to anything. Your blog just makes me sad/
Chewy: you really have no clue how tight or loose I am with a penny, so you really have no reason to be surprised about anything regarding me and my wallet.
Of course, if you were earning $40K per month from your blog you probably wouldn’t care about all the beggars. You have no idea how hard I am laughing right now.
:D
God I hate Dooce. Has that bitch ever smiled in her life? I’ve never seen a more bitter looking shrew than she.
I was on a dooce loving hiatus for awhile, but that is gone. I think her writing has been really good lately and I think she did wonderful on the today show. I don’t know how a dooce movie would pan out though.
