Ok, what I am about to post is something that may come off as too serious in tone, but this is important to me. FAR too often I come along someone who is a great kid and really nice yet down on the themselves because their parents are total sh*t heads who don't respect them. It's a shame because so many of these people respect their parents anyway because they are so nice, adhering to the philosophy that one should "honor thy mother and father." I think that's a load of crap. Respect should be earned, and just because you are a mother or father does not mean that you can get away with being dead beat or emotionally abusive and expect to get respect back. Whenever I hear about somebody going through this, I always feel like there is nothing I can do about it. I help in anyway I can, but at the end of the day they will still have to confront their dis-functional family when they get home.
Ok this is just going to be a bit of a ramble, so bear with me if it doesn't make sense, and if you can make sense of it, then congratulations, we may perhaps share a mind. So basically, I've been spending a lot of time on tumblr, and we all know how the social sort of cloud works there so I'll go ahead and skip that part, but basically with all this exposure I've been doing a hell of a lot of thinking in regard to gender and gender roles. Ok so like, let's assume here we share the same sort of open minded mindset in regards to this sort of thing, okay? Now, then it'd be perfectly fine for a male to call themselves a girl and a female to call themselves a guy, that's basically the simplest idea of being genderqueer and that's rad and all. Now we have another sort of thing that's also been moving around a bunch and that's the whole idea that feminine doesn't mean dainty and weak and masculine doesn't necessarily mean tough and strong; that a girl can be tough as hell while still being considered feminine. The whole issue I'm having here is where these two ideas intersect, see what I'm saying? When people go about and pick a gender, they are more or less giving themselves a self imposed label of masculinity, femininity, neither, or both. For the sake of simplicity let's ignore the last two so that this is a lot clearer. But the point is, when people go and do this, the two ideas clash because if somebody decides that they're a girl because they feel feminine, but at the same time this idea of femininity and masculinity are becoming so very convoluted and broadened that you really can't sort of pick and choose feminine and masculine traits without creating very negative implications for one or the other. Again, totally sorry that this probably made no sense, and knowing my track record I probably offended somebody with some tidbit of information that they just have to stamp out because it's wrong, but screw it.
I hate the police. My bike was recently stolen (the second one in less than six months), and their attitude was basically "who cares, it's just a bicycle." I don't own a car, and the city buses in my town are pretty much useless. Other than walking, that bike was my only means of transportation.
Why is it when I'm feeling like being social and hanging out with friends, they're all doing something...but when I'm busy and don't want to be bothered, my phone starts blowing up? bah
Teenagers who are angsty little buckects of depression just need to stop. Your life is good/great. Just stop it.
I'm tired of playing guitar hero 3 with scrubs. When I choose co-op, they insist on taking lead guitar and fail their own songs on medium. When I choose Pro-Faceoff, they quit when they're losing.
Rabid Bronies should NEVER target a mother on Facebook when she says jokingly that Dashie's (fake EQD) Equestria girls boobs hopefully weren't going to influence her young daughter negatively (Wanting big boobs). The Rabid Bronies reacted as you would expect "WELL RAISE YOUR CHILD BETTER!" "PARENT BETTER!" Because these macho Bronies have had many passionate encounters and have raised a child of their own and know EVERYTHING about how others should raise their children unlike this actual mother who has raised children. Can u not?
Hmmm... I'm in a good place. I'm happy. Things are going pretty okay right now. I'm having fun, enjoying things. My job is steady, I like it, I get to learn new things and I like the people I work with. Sometimes I even like my boss. The things I don't like are pretty inconsequential. Instead of getting mad at things, I've been trying to find amusement in them. I'll just sit back and smile. I'm finding less and less reasons to argue with people that disagree with me. Especially on the internet. What do I gain from "winning"? Nothing worth fighting over. So, I'll instead just keep having fun and enjoying things. Even if people don't want me to. :derpe: Just thought I'd being some positive stuff to this thread. Remember, what's on your mind doesn't always have to be something that upsets you!
That one book-club that's stuck on that one book. Y'know the one. They seem to leave out certain details every time they try to summarize it, and judge others using it's ideals, even though it's mostly metaphors and stuff written a long time ago. Oh, yeah, Christian Extremists. Y'know, the "GOD HATES DORKS" types.
What's on my mind... well, puppies on unicycles. Got Jack Knife my OC dueling with pikachu in the corner... Oh look! There's a cupcake monster playing cards with RD and Ninjakitty... And NK just cheated... Sigh. Got a couple demons wandering around... Oh lord! Put on some pants darn it! Oop, here come the flying censor bars. Ok... I'm out of here. Ok, that's what was on my mind... Please don't ever make me do that again.
Had to deal with someone with that mentality last year. Let's just say that I hated how whiny she was about her past, her dead siblings, how she was abused, and how she thinks her life sucks. I tried so hard not to say the following: BEAGLE, YOUR LIFE IS BETTER THAN A LOT OF FIELD SPANIEL PEOPLE. YOU SHOULD NOT BE COMPLAINING WHEN YOU ARE NOT UNDER HOUSE ARREST FOR SPEAKING YOUR MIND IN A SOCIETY CONTROLLED BY THE GOVERNMENT(I was mentioning a Liu Xiang, I forgot her name, but she's in China), WHEN YOUR HOUSE ISN'T BEING BOMED EVERY 2.3 SECONDS, AND YOU WHEN YOU HAVE TO LIVE THE REST OF YOUR FIELD SPANIEL LIFE WITH HORRIBLE MEMORIES OF BEING GASSED JUST BECAUSE OF YOUR RELIGION. GO GET A LIFE, AND SUCK IT UP.
