Everyone complains that I never update my LJ. Well there are reasons for this. Mostly because I'm lazy, but part of the reason is that I just don't feel like it. Lj is a hassle at times. When I have nothing to do and am bored I update. I still check my friend's journals. While that is pretty interesting most of the time. It can also be boring as well. An interesting fact is that most everybody I know is turning into an emo kid. And I'm not talking about the strange definition that emo is always sad and wanting to die. I'm talking about emo as in people just let their emotions go. They don't hold them in check at all. Not that this is a bad thing. Staying true to yourself is an important part of being who you are, but if you let your emotions have full reign of who you are then you become something that can be changed at the drop of a hat. You can go from happy and care-free to a big mess of sadness and depression. And just as something can get destroyed from going from extremely hot to extremely cold to fast, emotions can have the same affect on people. I'm getting quite disappointed to see people go from an awesome mood to the deepest darkest parts of the dumps. While I can sympathize with this because I to was the same way back in the day my first semester of Junior year in high school, it still makes me a tad sad that people would let emotions rule them so. Letting little things like a picture of someone they "love" make them cry or even saying I love you to their new girlfriend after a week and a half. Both are radicals that (I think) should be controlled so you can operate properly when you are doing the things that you have to do (ie. school/work/friends). Now breaking down after something bad happens is fine. Everyone has limits and this is an understandable fact, but limits shouldn't be so short that they do something drastic like get extremely sad extremely quick. Love should be something that is cherished and not used so frivolously. Its my opinion that love should be reserved for when you know all of the person and know their qwirks and strange behaviours. Love comes from an understanding of each other. Not the split second infatuation with someone. And it takes a while to understand someone completely. When you love someone then people tend to develop dependencies on the person they love. So if you say "I love you" to fast and the relationship doesn't work out. You are left with a big emo mess, because the person who you have become dependent on has left you. In anycase, I've seen to many relationships like this lately. Saying "I love you" to fast or ending in a shattering mess of tears and pieces of the person's heart. Have a little restraint people. Say no to emo!
In anycase, that was my rant of the month. I've skipped it the past couple of months because I am lazy and really didn't have anything to complain about or rant about lol. Life has been good to me. I'm in the process of finding a good job instead of the crummy one I have at Philly Connection. I plan devious schemes with Jenny Pickett and fool her family with our devious trickery. College is easy. Parents are understanding and nice as always. I've drowned myself with friends over the break and I have to say it was a fun experience. I can finally say I punched a drunk redneck in the face for being a douche. And I got to see a lot of old friends. I also got a new computer. Time to go do something semi-constructive and hopefully not DEstructive.
