So yeah. Today was good. In the sculpture garden, a butterfly flew up to around where I was sitting. I realized something. The grass was green, the sky magically cleared up, the breeze was nice, the sun was warm... I need to stop being such an angry asshole. Anger isn't something to be used lightly, nor is being an asshole. Actually, the latter should never be used. There are ways of being angry and not being an asshole, but not vis versa.
My main problem is not my anger, however. Why should I NOT be angry? Why are YOU not angry? Do you not know what's going on, or do you not care? Anger has it's place and it's not when some guy gives me a look or when somebody spills milk. Anger should be a constructive tool to be used only to feed passion against something you want gone. Anger is necessary in times of reation to oppression.
Asshole. It really struck a nerve when drew said I was one. Then I proved him right time and time again. There is no place for assholism. That's what's wrong; people are being assholes to eachother. Why don't I stop it with myself first?
If you (yes, you) ever see me being overly angry or negative or assholish about something, do us all a favor and pull me aside and just tell me what I'm doing stupid. I'm just wasting my anger. If i'm passionate about everything, then how can I concentrate on the important stuff? Is there only so much anger inside me that if I run out and I'll have no reason to change something? So, yeah, just pull me aside and tell I'm being too negative. I'll possibly beg to differ, but please risk it.
