Apathy, Listlessness, and Nonchalance.

The words apathy,nonchalance and indifference usually aren't part of Angela's world but there are times when the timing is just, the situation calls for it, and the idiot on the other end deserves it.


It's for the person (or who I fondly, lovingly call the idiot) who doesn't understand solid, obvious reasoning.
  " You got a ticket because you were speeding".

Their retort?  "I got a ticket because I wasn't paying attention to the cop that was parked in the cut!".

Now if I were to waste my mental energies trying to explain the lucidity of my statement and their absurdity of theirs  I would be the idiot.

It's for the person who talks the talk and doesn't walk the walk.

You know the kind, it's kinda like the girl that is a self proclaimed Barbie but she works at  Arby's.  Right, exactly there is nonesuch. You can't be a barbie when you smell like a cheeseburger and side of onion rings and wear a fucking paper hat.
It's the man that has a plan but no action.  It's like when you were a little heathen of a boy setting up your little green army men battlefield just so and then losing steam to even play or wearing your Superman cape and not flying. Real men (gasp!)  follow through.  (or some continue to wear the cape, call themselves Anastacia and attend drag night at Lucky Cheng's)

It's for the person that thinks they know it all.
Ugh! Please save me for the person who always knows what people will do, what they will say, how they will react, tells you how you should live your life, rear your children, handle your man, obey the Lord, cook your food, wear your clothes,  clean your house, drive your car, who to vote for and why, corrects your words (guilty!), offers too much unsolicited advice, butts into the convo... you get it.

For all of you, I display my apathy to the nth degree. I just do not  care enough to open my mouth to opine about it.  Yes, I will have little thoughts firing off in my head about how I could classify you psychologically and devise colorful retorts that would leave you looking dumbfounded, but I nonchalantly will digress. Some things are just better left unsaid. Besides, it's so much funner watching you hang yourself without me helping you.
 
Truth be told: Sometimes it's better to respond with apathy than opposition. Listlessness can be wielded very effectively. Nonchalant dispositions often achieve desired results.
