(no subject)
Three years (and one day) to the day and 600 posts later, I am here to say goodbye.
I don't know what you were all expecting this would be.
I have had a lot of ideas and this....wasn't one of them.
- I can't say that I have thought "Oh man, now I don't want to go."
- But if you all had commented as much as you say you wanted to, I don't know if I would have even thought to leave.
- Really, the reason I choose to go is that I can't stand what you people type about. You're insane.
- I can't give examples without hurting feelings, but just...think before you type.
- Also, more importantly, I want a new handle. Skamaster09 isn't my style.
- Just some things I need to get off my scrawny chest. Like confession.
- When I say "wonderful", I'm sarcastic. I never mean it.
- I don't promise things. Even things like "I'd give you the stars and moon" (who says that?).
- Everyone knows it's impossible, I can't do it, so I don't promise it.
- Even things I plan on doing and know I can do, I don't promise them, because what if something prevented me from doing it?
- I wouldn't like living with that kind of guilt.
- I've never cheated on any of my girlfriends. No matter what you may think or hear.
- Never contemplated suicide. Although, I honestly believe I would be better off to the world dead.
- I don't necessarily think I'm a bad person, but I don't think I am a good one.
- I am a jealous, boring, apathetic, egotistical, big headed Jap.
- Too often do I live in the past and most of the time, it's not even my own.
- If I'm mean to you, that just means I like you. If I didn't like you I just wouldn't acknowledge you.
- My girlfriend is sitting on my lap right now. She's cute....and fuzzy.
- This post is day late because I would rather spend my time with her.
- Don't give advice for situations you haven't been in.
- Watch The Godfather, Citizen Kane and Scarface.
- Also Seven, Amelie, Red Hot American Summer and every Lord of the Rings.
- Do unto others. Respect the elders. Listen to Ska.
- Take time to look up and find your place.
- Stop reading journals and get outside. Take pictures even.
- If not, don't post more than twice a day and don't do that more than once a week.
- Don't post quizzes, lyrics and cryptic bullshit only you know.
- Post when you have time to say something. Don't say something when you have time to post.
- You're just proving the fact that if everybody spoke their mind they wouldn't speak so much.
- Every word, image, move and brush stroke is another chance to express yourself.
- Read more. Bathe at least every other day. Go camping.
- Think with your own brain. Nothing is more beautiful than someone thinking originally.
- If you're going to drink don't drive or have a phone with you. You will lose friends.
- The trick to taking beautiful pictures is taking pictures of beautiful things.
- Please, be faithful to one another.
- Guys, find a girl that makes it easy for you to be nice to them and treat them perfect.
- Girls, I'm begging you here, please don't sell yourself short. Don't let the nice guys finish last.
- And if your boy hurts you, call me.
So I guess that is all I have to say.
Most of you have been so nice.
I greatly appreciate being appreciated.
You are all so beautiful.
Goodbye.
Life is just a bunch of inside jokes and 'you had to be there' moments.
Euphemisms and velleities, negative and positive connotations, heartbeats and heartbreaks.
All strung together with ties and bonds with people we love and hate.
And That, my friends, is my swan song. Over and out.
Yours,
Carlos A. Lamborn
