"Oh, Lord, I'm Not Ready for This..."

[psalm_onethirtyone]

Daddy reads daily:

--The New York Times
--The Daily Item
--The New York Times Online

Weekly:

--The Sunday Patriot-News
--The Sunday New York Times
--The Juniata Sentinel
--The Duncannon Record
--The Newport News-Sun

And yet he still makes me listen to NPR and WITF radio news ON THE LOUDEST VOLUME POSSIBLE both ways whenever I have to drive with him anywhere.

I hate the radio, and I hate our local radio. It's all hateful and angry and bitter and hurts something awful all the time. And it's pretentious and sure of itself and superior and smirking and I hate it I hate it. Damn it. Ruins my entire sense, just having to hear it for two or three hours. It makes everything taste bad and gets inside me and jitters me up and makes me angry. I hate the radio. I'd much rather listen to quiet music, but Daddy needs MORE INFORMATIONS.

Which I think was kind of the cap on the poisonous death angel mushroom of my day, seriously.

Ugh.

Too much news is toxic. I believe this.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

It is. It's just awful.

On the other hand, I read two books in the waiting room during Daddy's appointment.

*snugs*

If it helps, I read WITF radio as WTF radio. Also, I totally am still writing your song, in case you were thinking I had forgotten about it.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

I always do that, too. XD It makes me feel better about it. --OMG really?

[reconditarmonia.livejournal.com]

Really really. Just very slowly.

I find NPR to be the least angry and depressing, but then I mostly listen to Terry Gross and This American Life.

That is DEFINITE news overload. :(

Terri Gross is nice, but we're never in the car when she's on.

It IS. I don't know how he survives it.

My sister and I share a loathing for NPR. When our landlord lived here, he played it ALL THE TIME, even when he wasn't even listening. And when my sister lived with her boyfriend, he played it too. I think we will both be happiest if we never hear any kind of news radio again, ever. :P

I think I have that in common with you. XD

I thought I was alone in my hatred for the radio. I'm sorry you have to listen to that. ;_;

Hopefully there won't be too many more instances where I have to ride with Daddy. I love him so much, but not in the car.
