Person @ MindSay

So, if you were to be placed on a deserted island, and you could only take one item, one person, and one type of food, what would they be and why?

 

All right, let's do this.

Well, the item would be my guitar because it doesn't require batteries and it can keep the insanity levels low. The person would be, um, well, it's a toss-up between my best friend Zach, Lauren, or Brannon. If I took Zach we'd get along but there may be procreation going on down the line and that would be bad. I could take Lauren because I never get tired of her and we're both quite smart and funny. But then again, I could take Brannon, I highly doubt I'd get tired of him... So... Brannon wins. =P Finally, the food would be a cheeseburger with the works, because that's still one item and I get lots of food groups.

Over all I love Mindsay.  But I have noticed that if you so much as voice an opinion that someone doesn't agree with 100% they label you as an idiot or worse.

 

And you can really tell those who have been influenced by the propganda of the world orgs and gov'ts.

They are all parinoid freaks if you don't agree with them on anything.

 

I responded to the Boycott the Beijing Olympics post.  Saying that yes they should be able to boycott it.  I also went on to say that my opinion is maybe outside gov'ts such as the US and UN need to start staying the fuck out of everyone else's business and that China is already saying they won't broadcast live events.  I dont' agree what is going on in Tibet, I dont' agree with the fact they may or may not broadcast but I also understand it isn't OUR gov't! 

 

Not in all those words of course.

 

I had one person respond back going well the Tibet thing is a  far cray from blah blah blah blah.  I agreed and I pointed out that I said to boycot over the media!

 

Then jakerad a person I never read and never talk to and has NEVER been to my blog called me an idiot and blabbed off about how i am so thick that the string didn't go through the needle.

 

I just agreed because jakerad and anyone else who got their panties in a bunch over me not really giving a good gods fuck of why a country boycotting or my examples or the fact I said and STILL THINK IT that larger Super powered countries such as the US and UK and others need to stay the FUCK out of other countries gov'ts and what they do can KISS MY ASS! 

 

Why get into an international incident by going, making a sene, and trying to get it broadcasted and possibly starting a massive War that currently the US and the UN Nations can NOT handle because they are all too busy fighting for a bunch of ppl's civil rights in the Middle East and are LOOSING!  The same ppl that have been fighting before and after Christ has been born and will ALWAYS fight!  We all know China is in the wrong for Tibet.  But I dont' see jakerad's sorry ass going over there to China or Tibet taking part of the protests.........of course not he is too busy calling me an idiot because I don't see eye to eye with every little thing they all think!

 

Well one idiot to another jakerad ..............I worry more about what is happening in my own country then I do others.  If that makes me a bad person so be it.   What makes you a shitty person is that you love to do your bitching and calling ppl names and you don't even know how to read the words written because your so hung up on being a parinoid drone of your gov't!

 

 

I am a manager at work. First time experience for me, and while I'm good at my job, I really suck at one part of it...being somebody else's boss. I always second guess myself, and it's almost IMPOSSIBLE for me to chastise someone without some serious internal pep talking. So anyways, today my shirking of conflict led me to (not) do something I'm pretty ashamed of:

One of my employees treated a child, a ten (ish) year old autistic child, like he was a piece of shit. She was mean, outrageously so, and really had no reason to be so...she just didn't want to give the child a free movie ticket (provided by someone other than herself, and she just grabbed a shitload of them so there weren't enough for the kids...but the ghetto-ass shittiness of my employees is another story entirely). She yelled, she bitched, she degraded the child in under three words. And I...*sigh* I stood there and let her.

Sucks.

So there's the rub...because I let her treat a child unfairly and I said nothing, am I a bad person? Is my lack of managerial balls (so to speak) backsliding me into this sucky place where I let people do the wrong thing in front of me, and I just let it slide?

I feel like a bad person.

This is the best snowman I have ever made... it is also the second one I have ever made. Ok so Ethan helped a little.

THE UNPOPULAR ONE: AN INTROSPECTION...SORT OF

 

Maybe this won't apply to most of you people, but I think that there was a time in our lives when we wish we are a different person than we are. Someone blessed with looks and charm that surely make heads turn to your direction. Someone whom everybody wants to be with. Someone who is admired. And suddenly you wake up and realize that we are not what we wish we are. Back to reality.

 

I was just one of those who is what one local writer here terms a "commoner". Well, not exactly that in stricter sense. I was somewhat an eccentric figure, someone who leaves them confounded or confused of whether I'm a sane person or otherwise. Eccentric in the sense that my taste doesn't conform with the trend of the day. I would rather be sitting alone, with a company of books than with a company of humans. I was more interested with who killed Abraham Lincoln than who dated who. Though I made some friends, most of the time I do things on my own. I have mentioned that in "The Solace of Solitude"

 

If you wonder what I look like, well I confess that I'm a bit scraggly, wears spectacles (until now) and on the heavy side. Not the ideal person to be considered a campus heartthrob or a boy next door. Geek? Halfway. I admit, whenever I see someone who is known as popular, I feel disappionted with myself. Disappointed in the sense that I ask why I'm not like that guy. But then, it dawned upon me: it was college. There will be lots and lots of campus crushes walking around its premises, but what if college's over? Will they still be as they were after recieving their diploma? Can they make their charm work in the real world? Then I realized that I'm not being comfortable with my own skin. I am being shallow and regretful. I am nursing a disappointment with myself. I finally got to my senses. I am what I am. I am what God made me. And much to my chagrin, I realized that I am being unsatisfied with myself. That attitude hampered my self-discovery and perhaps, a chance to develop into a person that I want to be. Now I say 'I should've done that before'.

 

Now, I want to make a point of redeeming myself for the mess that I made to myself. I may be eccentric, I may be unpopular, so what? At least I have friends who believes in me and respects me for who I am. Dwelling in the past makes no sense; what is important is to live life today. My experience has taught me an important lesson to live by, and that is: to love myself.
