my curiosity has been peaked lately, as i receive more and more offers from my various (too many) credit cards to upgrade my membership.
of course these upgrades come with so very many benefits, like airline cancellation insurance and improved fraud protection and emergency cash wiring and extra points and more cash back and restaurant discounts and the list goes on and on and its only $79 a year.
but is it really worth it? the crap they give you for points is just that. crap. and the restaurants they give discounts to, are they restaurants i would ever eat at? and doesn't fraud protection come without the upgrade? and if cancellations happen can't you generally get reimbursed, or transfer the ticket?
i really want to know
when i get home late from work and i blearily tear open the mail, hoping there might be something interesting to read, i want so badly to believe that i am being offered something good, something worth responding to.
but i never respond
should i?
i am skeptical of upgrades.

dichotomy
i'm not a good person, really. i have moments of being good that outnumber my bad moments, but that's not the same as being a good person.
when i do petty, stupid shit, i realize how pathetic and insecure i am. and i wonder why? why, when most of the time i feel fine and i do fine and i behave maturely and do the right thing, why does that just completely slip away sometimes? where does it go? which is the real me? the saving grace is that my actions never hurt anyone but myself, which of course becomes even more confusing.
why do i seem to lash out at myself? what am i afraid of?
am i a motivated, intelligent, mature adult or a pathetic, desperate insecure little baby? when i exhibit behavioural proof of both tendencies, which one is the most truthful representation of my personality?
and why can't i answer that

life's not fair
why did they take away monday night football?
is there no feeling, no care for the people who do not have cable, the people who cannot tune into ESPN?
sometimes on Monday's, the only thing we have to look forward to is football. and now it's gone.
i feel bereft and sad
i almost feel like getting cable.
