Last One of 09’

There’s so much that I need to do this coming year and there is so much that I need to be careful not to do. Its weird when you have these, “This time around posts” and you can look back over them all and just see all of the things that you have said in the past and hoped for.

I don’t like reflection or looking back at things past, most of the time I would rather keep them behind me and besides a few bright moments, 2009 hasn’t been a great one for me.

Here’s to the New Year…

So this is the new year.
And I don't feel any different.
The clanking of crystal
Explosions off in the distance.

So this is the new year
And I have no resolutions
For self assigned penance
For problems with easy solutions

So everybody put your best suit or dress on
Let's make believe that we are wealthy for just this once
Lighting firecrackers off on the front lawn
As thirty dialogs bleed into one

I wish the world was flat like the old days
Then i could travel just by folding a map
No more airplanes, or speed trains, or freeways
There'd be no distance that could hold us back...

Another First

Here it is, the first blog post from the new laptop, kind of hard for me considering my hands are ten times bigger than the little guy but I am still grateful for this little thing.

So between hanging out with PJ and working on getting this little guy squared away (the laptop), I got to watch Zombieland and listen to the plight of some of my male friends when it comes to women.

Its strange to say it out loud, but its shocking to me how someone can transform before your eyes and how someone can mean so much in a way you never expected them to. Its also odd to note how someone can change in your mind when you look back at them and what they put you through.

I can’t help but think back to someone in the past and compare the person I thought she was, wished she was and the people I know now. Some of them are ten times as loyal and trustworthy and a million times better as friends.

So I have done a little purging.

Oh yeah, and I need to say that I am back to work on the writing.

Had to be done

Well I didn’t want the year to end without at least one more of these things getting slapped down into here. But I have to say I am tired of 2009, been a year of pretty big loss and I am ready to see it go. Good riddance.

A quote is worth a thousand words

Mads: I'm not bad with needles as long as I don't look at them. If I look at them they hurt. The only injection I've had that didn't follow that rule was the HPV one, oh how lucky you are to never have to have it.

Me: And I can only imagine that the HPV one is very bad...I already don't want to know where the injection site is.

Mads: haha It's the arm Justin.:p

Flirtexting?

It’s painful to see that someone could actually have written a book on how to flirt over text messages. Its even more painful to hear some of the stupid information crammed into the book. “If a guy texts you after 10 PM he’s just looking for one thing…”

No you dumb bitch, he’s just texting you. This is exactly why rules for dating are dumb because they either cause someone to get the wrong idea about the most innocent thing or because they set up expectations that aren’t personal and are too rigid.

When the hell did it get so that everyone needed a damn manual to do the most mundane of activities?

Lobbyists Pushed Off Advisory Panels

THANK YOU!

I missed this somewhere in the torrent of bullshit between Tiger Woods and people trying to ban divorce to prove a point. But this is good news.

Anyone who can honestly say they believe that lobbyists are out for your best interest probably still think this is a neck massager.

It’s always nice to read good news it just makes me feel like posting this!

HIGH FIVE!

Damn that feels good.

What makes this okay?

If you’ve spent any amount of time online you’ve probably made some people that you at least consider friends in some capacity. I don’t think that this is a problem. There’s nothing wrong with making friends online.

The real issue I wanted to bring up is why is it that people feel that its alright to lie and play games with people whom they meet online. Its one thing to lie about something silly online, that’s not what I am talking about and while it might be wrong, its something small. What I am talking about is the people who take on entire personas and play games with others, making up fake names, using fake pictures. All of this, much of the time, just to see if they can get away with it, to see if they can make themselves well loved as someone else or even to embarrass the people involved.

And often times, what is the reaction of someone who sees someone else fooled like this, “Oh well, its just the internet.”

I don’t get why no one is supposed to have feelings on the internet or where the idea of this came from. But that makes it okay to trick people?
