Fuck It Today.

On my way to fucking work, I decided to get off the bus on the corner of Michigan and Chicago and walk a few blocks. Get some air, enjoy the outdoors for five minutes before walking into my hellhole, grab a cup of coffee. I get off the bus and there's this dude selling Streetwise. "Hey brother, Streetwise!" he says to me sticking five copies in front of my face, I swat at them like a low flying pigeon and simply say "no".
"Shit!" the guy yells as if he was banking on me, on ME, to give him a buck for his shit rag newspaper. "Shit!" as if his inability to sell a copy of Streetwise to me made him a poor salesman.
"Shit!" I kept hearing it my head.
A few blocks later a girl in a green smock with the word Greenpeace written on it holding a clipboard asks "Do you care about the environment?"
"Today, I don't care about anything," I say and light a match that ignites the planet.
