Selfish

Selfishness is considered to be in as poor taste as some of the Seven Deadly Sins.  As a matter of fact, the word “selfish” is just a synonym or at minimum can be correlated to greed.  Unfortunately, we all fall victim to it daily.  You may not even realize it.  Here are some of my daily ones:

• I don’t want to share any of my good cereal (Count Chocula, Lucky Charms, Boo Berry) with the kid.
• I don’t want anyone to sit next to me on the MARC (unless she’s fine as hell and smells good).
• I want my woman to think I’m the finest kat on the planet hands down.
• I don’t want to share her with anyone else.  ANYONE.
• I horde the sugar packets for coffee at work.
• I cut the personal convos with my co-workers to a minimum when my favorite radio shows are on.

Here is the funny part….it took me about 10 minutes to exam this list.  In other words, self-examination is a bitch; especially if you’re a proctologist.

So I’m babbling on about selfishness because today, I’m feeling selfish.  My girlfriend aside, I’m feeling like the world needs to revolve around me for just one day.  I’m whining about trying to have a social life and being a single co-parent.  Today is WhatAboutMe’s Holiday Party at work.  For 3 years, I’ve been trying to go to her party, and every year, I lose babysitting services at the last minute.  Out-standing.

Today I have on a pinstriped shirt  and pinstriped pants, and I feel like the stripes are symbolic of me being trapped.  Stupid huh?  Its just proof that we all have moments of desiring to be all about us.  We all have lives that revolve around our different interests and desires.  Then you come to realize that those interests and desires aren’t always about you personally.  Sometimes you just want what you want, WHEN you want it.

I’ll get over it.  I always do.  In the meantime, I’m pouting.
