I went to the library today for the first time in over a month, and, as always, I was appalled by the laziness of the people that go there.
I walk there from my house. It’s not TOO long of a walk, only 30-45 minutes or so. If I took the highway (which I am NOT planning on doing) it would be shorter. I only get a ride there when I’m sick or if it’s 50 degrees outside.
However, some lazy asses that live RIGHT NEXT DOOR to the damn library drive there, leave their cars running for the WHOLE time they’re in there (which is usually about an hour), and then drive their gas-guzzlers all the way back to their houses.
That’s not even half of it. South Lake Animal Protection Services has a thrift shop in downtown Clermont (where I live). If you volunteer there for 84 hours, they’ll PAY for you to get your pet fixed and get all of the necessary shots. I did this when I found my cat, Felix, at a construction site, and it was totally worth it. They paid $250 just because I volunteered for a couple of hours for two months. It wasn’t a huge deal, and it was a lot of fun. We recently had a kitten dumped on our doorstep. We were going to give it to a family of 5, three of them being teenagers, but they refused to take it because they didn’t have the money to get the shots. I told them about the South Lake Volunteering program, and they said they were “too busy”.
I have Colorguard practice for 3+ hours 6 days a week, and I’m making time to volunteer there.
Like Troy always says, the world’s going to hell in a handbasket.

With everything being instant nowadays, nobody has the patience to put up with any kind of physical work. That’s why so many diseases are augmenting, too, with the love for fast food. The reason why is the fast acting chemicals provided in the food to make it be prepared faster. People are lazy in that aspect so they want everything instant. Health problems are on a rise. And now people wonder why energy use is so whacked up and why gas prices are so high. That’s why (especially in Clermont, considering the idiots leaving their vehicles on while they’re inside the library).
The world is most definitely going to hell in a hand basket the size of Rosie O’Donnell.
