Two in a day?
When I come back, I come back strong. Remember that.
I am exploring my personal interests right now. I think it’s really important to ask yourself questions. To weigh out your options and really understand what you enjoy most. It’s imperative that we not think a certain way to become someone, but rather UNDERSTAND who we are. It’s easy to get those two mixed up because they both go on inside your head.
You should never convince yourself of anything. If you have to convince yourself of something you already know you should not be doing it. This doesn’t apply to all things you do in life. Sometimes you genuinely do need to convince yourself of something. This pertains to irrational fears or general nervousness. But even then, you genuinely know when your fears are irrational so you just snap yourself out of it.
“No I can’t go talk to that girl because she wouldn’t like me”
“I don’t want to get on the airplane because it will crash”
“If I try out for basketball they could put me on JV and that would be humiliating”
“If I park my car at the train station it will probably get tagged”
Sure, they’re kind of corny examples but they all carry a theme. If you can guess what it is they all have in common and are caller 69 you win a set of tickets and backstage passes to the Lenny Kravitz concert at Texaco Convention Center! With free limousine service from Embassy Limousines of Beverly Hills!
“Hello, caller 69?”
“Is it…. Assumptions?”
“OOoooooh, you just won yourself 4 tickets to Lenny Kravitz!”
“WOOOO, WOOOOO, OHMYGODOHMYGODOMGOMG! LENNY KRAAAAaaaaaAAAVITZ!” *Friends screaming in background echoed by their radio turned up full blast*
“Yeeeeah! Alright! Hey, what’s your name?”
“KIMBERLY!!!!!!!!1111!!!!!”
“Alright Alyssa, can you say 107.9 ROCKS ALL THE TIME!?!?”
“107.9 ROCKS ALL THE TIME!!!! I’M COMING FOR YOU!!! MY PUSSY’S HUNGRY LEN”*cut off*
That’s right. Assumptions ladies and gentlemen. Most assumptions are just based off of fears.
Don’t worry, there’s actually a point to this. In fact, there are two.
The first point is that instead of make assumptions, why not just accept that you don’t really know what will happen? Sure, assumptions can make life easier. They can give you a sense of being grounded. Of knowing what might happen next. It’s hard to really take in the fact that you don’t really know what will happen. Ever.
But the problem with assumptions is that it can suck when they don’t turn out. Which, they often don’t. Now making assumptions based on a decent number of facts, that’s not bad.
What got the gears turning in my head with this whole rant is this. I was weighing out in my head whether I enjoy writing or performing more. This was done with a more broad sort of life long career aspect in my head. But the thing I love about writing and that I believe will really come to fruition as the internet age grows older is the ridiculous internet slang references within writing. I literally believe that it is and will give writing a more 3 dimensional feel as years go by.
Joe, what are you even talking about?
Let me explain.
“!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111!!!!!!!”
“n00b”
“Booty$hortz”
“8======D”
3tc.
Man, this post got in a really weird zone of being completely serious and completely non-serious at the same time.
I suppose a good way to make an example of it would be a side by side comparison.
“Booty Shorts” Vs. “b00ty$hortz”
Maybe a side by side comparison wasn’t a great idea because there is no comparison. B00ty$hortz smacks it out of the park. The only way it could be funnier would be if they fucked up the already shitty writing.
“B00ty$shortz”
Yeah, yeah that is the only way it could be better.
I’m just saying this. Don’t assume you can’t do anything. Don’t take yourself too seriously. And the internet is suspiciously going to lead to the comeback of text. Who saw THAT one coming?
