Too bad

How wonderful it is to experience love. *sigh*But sometimes over the progression of a number of days, things can detiriorate. Which is one of the unfortunate facts of life. It can be even the simplest of things that terminates the relationship prematurely, but it is not the fault of the one who made the "simple mistake". If one looks at it from a certain perspective, one could see that it would be the fault of the person who decided to break it off because of that "simple mistake".

A friend once told me it is best to remain detached. Do not get too emotionally involved with the other person unless it's a completely sure thing. It probably is best to remain detached, though only with certain individuals. It saves from the hurt of breaking it off, and it saves time from having to deal with many other complications related to ending it.

One thing many talk about is both parties participating in the relationship. The individual needs to realize that he/she will not have a working relationship if they do not put in the same amount of energy and work that the other individual puts into trying to make the relationship last.

Today's Lesson: Become friends with someone first, then you can think about hooking up with them...

Here I am again, presenting you with another song. And as was evident with the previous lyrics, I will do my best to translate what they are saying, so that even morons that work at city hall will know what the fuck I'm saying. But first, the lyrics:

Faceless

why did you terrorize

all those innocent lives

what gives you the right

sometime the tables will turn

precious beauty destroyed

situation we can't avoid

everybody thats in the nation

represented for what you believe in

stand up for yourself

in your eyes its time

open up our eyes

show em how we feel inside

you're gonna get what's comin to you

no matter what you say or

what you do

no no you can't run

no no you can't hide

kiss your life goodbye

what makes you think

that you can get away with all of this

you got the whole world pissed

for this your soul will burn

two wrongs dont make a right

halt every rest who died

everybody thats in the nation

represented for what you believe in

stand up for yourself

in your eyes its time

open up our eyes

show em how we feel inside

you're gonna get what's comin to you

no matter what you say or

what you do

no no you can't run

no no you can't hide

kiss your life goodbye

Wow. An interesting set of lyrics. The artist must have had a lot of pent up aggression for authority. As do I. There are a bunch of dumbfucks running our country, and there are dumbfucks complaining about the people running our country. If you don't like the way shit's going, then fucking do something!!! It's not that goddamn hard. There is a reason our founding fathers created the Bill Of Rights. And yet the people who want to see change do nothing to set those changes in motion. Wow. Fucking morons!!!

Anyway, that's not the point of this rant. The point is that you should stand up for your beliefs, and don't let people push you around. If you want something to happen, make it happen. "Show them how you feel inside"...

You need a uniform...

First off, I will start this entry with some lyrics from my favorite band Mindless Self Indulgence:

You don't mean it

You need a uniform
So you won't be ignored
You are affected
And so you're accepted

It's time you invested in a bottle of poison
So we don't have to hear about you bitchin and moanin
You think you could afford a fuckin bottle of asprin

Boo fuckin hoo you're not the only one whose live's a piece of shit
And yet miraculously somehow we all seem to deal with it
Did anybody think that you would really seriously slit your wrists
In fact I think that everybody thinks you're seriously full of shit

You don't mean it

You need a uniform
So you won't be ignored
You are affected
And so you're accepted

It's time you invested in a bottle of poison
So we don't have to hear about you bitchin and moanin
You think you could afford a fuckin bottle of asprin

You think you're saying something relevant as you connect the dots
You never realized you have to get in line to suck a cock
You're telling me that fifty million screaming fans are never wrong
I'm telling you that fifty million screaming fans are fucking morons

Anyway, what I'm trying to say is, that in this day and age, just to fit in, we have to wear a "uniform", so to speak. We have to be someone that we're not. And when people do that, we alienate the only true friends we they had. The ones who cared for us no matter what happened. The ones that said they would be there for us if we ever needed them, at any time, no matter how late we called, or if we ever needed a place to go. I continously use the word "we" because, in fact, we've all done it at least once in our lives. Some people need to realize that one does not have to pretend to be someone to find acceptance.

As Mindless Self Indulgence states, "you're telling me that fifty millions screaming fans are never wrong...", it is true. There are so many people who act "fake" just to fit in. Some people think that when "those" people that they've had their eye on finally acknowlegde their existence, that they're one of the cool crowd.

As for the emo kids, of which I am one. People say stuff just to fit in to groups. Most of the time, the emo kids are the ones who don't give a rat's ass about what others think. But yet, there are those who try to fit into this group. And even people who try to fit into this group, act "fake" to fit in. They try to say that they also have problems. That people don't accept them.

I myself have friends who don't even have the same style as me, and we get along just great. I have friend named "A.J." who wears hip-hop style clothes, and I've been friends with him for 9 years. I also have a friend named "Cocoa", who wears preppy clothes. Though I've only known her for a few weeks, we are already great friends. See? What people wear doesn't define the person in 'em.

But people shouldn't define eachother by labels. As is said in the above song, "It's time you invested in a bottle of poison, so we don't have to hear about you bitching and moaning." For those of us who hang out with people no matter their style, that's our motto. We could do without the bullshit of people who only want to hang out with the people who wear the same clothing as them simply for that fact. Everyone has a hard life. Nothing in this world is fair. From all of us who are friends with people of all styles, we could do without the shit of people that want to alienate us from eachother.

Love

Such a powerful emotion. Sometimes we take the love of others for granted. We don't take the time to stop and think. We don't see how much we truly mean to them. Or how much they mean to us. Some people need this. Some people need love, even when it is the love of a stranger. A simple smile can brighten a person's day. What are your thoughts?

Self-Mutilation

Whether you like to believe it or not, we've all done this at one point or another. It is just the circumstance and to what degree we have done this. Lots of people think that those who injure themselves willingly are insane. Quite the contrary. I read in an article (now this was a long-ass time ago) that self-injurers are more rational than those who do not do it. What an odd thing to say, isn't it?? Well, we've seen it all. Sometimes self-injury, self-mutilation, or self-abuse can be disguised as an everyday activity. Have you ever seen someone exercising on a bike, going past you at a very fast speed? Don't you ever wonder if what they're doing is trying to push themselves so far that they feel immense and excrutiating pain in their chest?

I have had a few friends who've done this in the past. I did my best to help them find better ways to cope. Some of the time it worked. Some of the time it didn't. Luckily, those friends have found other, and much better ways of coping with certain things.

Extrasensory Perception

The following was taken from an article I found somewhere on the web:

"ESP is most commonly called the "sixth sense." It is sensory information that an individual receives which come beyond the ordinary five senses of sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch. It can provide the individual with information on the present, past, and future; as it seems to originate in a second, or alternate reality."

What is your opinion on this??
