4 Things I Don’t Care About and One That Sends Me Over the Edge 💣💥

Not exactly what Dina Alexander’s nomination was about, but I couldn’t quite get there

Okay…well…here I am. Dina Alexander has nominated me for this. In her words:

“So, those are the five things that I don’t care about, but everyone else seems to. I’ll nominate Liberty Forrest, Author and Sharon's Random Ramblings to keep this chain of rants going!”

First, to be honest I’m kinda confused. If a person couldn’t care less about something, why get so hot under the collar about it, or at least, why the need to “rant”? Isn’t that sort of contradictory?🧐 I don’t get it. 🤪

If I truly don’t care about something, I don’t want to give it even a nanosecond of my precious time — ’cause, you know, time is truly that one absolutely unreplenishable resource (damn it, there’s so much fun stuff I want to do!).

If it’s a proper rant, it’s gotta have some heft behind it. Some “poking you with a sharp stick,” “piss-you-off’ed-ness” about it. I mean seriously — let’s look at the definition of rant:

“To speak or shout at length in an angry, impassioned way.”

Yep. It’s buried right in there, the word “passion” — intense emotion and all that…
