you sound happy. you should move to northland new zealand. Everybody goes bare foot, it's great (bare foot may not be your thing, but they also have beer, beaches, and they don't complain as much (mostly)) they've got something for everyone! And if you already live there, move some where else and you'll start to appreciate it in no time. either way. you could also see a phychiatryst (sp?) but all they do is annoy you.

I liked the end far better then the begining. That seemed more like a poem. It starts out slow, like a lecture, but the end wraps up nicely. I would try making it fit into a meter or rhyme, it just comes off better as a poem.
