Why should I expect a dream run when others have such a
tough trot ?
It must be the Catholic upbringing which instilled in me
that we have no right to be happy, we are all sinners and deserve whatever
comes our way. It doesn't make it any easier and I feel guilty when I'm
unhappy. It's bad enough to feel unhappy for no fathomable reason let alone
having to experience a double whammy.
Anyway, I'm not sure how, or if, this blog will proceed, evolve,
enlighten or enslave me but I felt inclined to do it, so here it is.

Well how appropriate - I couldn't even set the blog up
without becoming exasperated. A simple
typo and voila, I had a URL which initially made no sense: "what really
isses me off" was destined to be my URL stem, simply because I left out
the "P". Deuced amusing were
it not so typical. Not the sort of title I'd publicise because that's another
thing that pisses me off - poor spelling and poor proof reading. No one would have known other than myself. However,
should someone have stumbled upon this site, I would be perceived as not
only a grumpy old pessimist but a poor speller. And there is no excuse for poor
spelling in the age of digital spellcheck.
More exasperations ensued. When I attempted to remedy the
situation every single URL was taken and all by people who had registered
blogs, written one post, nare to be seen of again. So now cyberspace is
littered with the detritus of human non-accomplishments. And that detritus is
blocking my attempts to remedy my typo.
Finally, after having multiple titles rejected I decided to
coin what I hoped would be a unique term, so I am perfectly satisfied with
"Irk - Asperation" because what really irks me is living in an almost
perpetual state of being exasperated :-)
