Among the many, many things in this world that make me furious and sometimes even nauseas there is a small collection of things that I enjoy. I must apologize, however, this is probably going to be my shortest post ever. That was a little attempt at humor. And now I am both telling unfunny jokes at my own expense and talking to myself through a diary-like website. If this was a dating site this would be the point where, if you were a girl, you realized that if men like me exist; lesbians are your last hope at happiness. By now you may have realized that I am merely doing this to take up space in an attempt to make me look less depressing when i realize the part about what i enjoy in life, is only about 2 paragraphs long. And now to quote a song that is far before my time and probably far beyond my understanding, let the good times roll.
Writing has always put me at ease no matter what is going wrong in my life. It has a way of putting me at ease much in the same way a warm shower soothes you after a difficult day of work. I have always found some comfort in being able to put a piece of myself into words and occasionally sharing it for the amusement, or better yet aggravation, of others. A large portion of my writing, which i don't do here, is inspired by the books i read. Which is part two of my likes.
Books have always been important to me, and in many ways have made me who I am today. I am relatively picky about the books I read. In my younger years i dabbled in a bit of everything. However it wasn't until I was in eighth grade and I read "Enders Game" by Orson Scott Card that I found my true calling. The book I am referring to is of the science fiction genre. This furthered my interest in this specific area of reading, and later on in my life writing, so I looked a little further into it and expanded my area of enjoyment. I then read the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy by the ever popular J.R.R Tolkien. Who regrettably has been undermined by the also talented Peter Jackson, who did a fantastic job with the movies yet he does not deserve as much credit as he was given and is most definitely not as talented as Mr. Tolkien himself. But that is a rant for another time.
After having read the trilogy I began reading other books of the fantasy genre and discovered i was, in fact. A total nerd. Once I came to terms with this i found the two authors that have inspired almost everything i have written to date, minus all you see here this is 100 percent me and no one else. The two authors I speak of are the inventive John Scalzi and the imaginative Terry Brooks. I was turned on to both, at separate times, by a family member who has a similar taste in literature. I first read "Old Man's War" by John Scalzi which is a Sci-fi book and i fell in love with the idea, the characters and everything else that came with it. I then read the remaining books in the series and I have become a life-long Scalzi fan. After having read these i began writing stories of my own and i have continued ever since. I then read "Armageddons Children" by Terry Brooks which was a sort of futuristic fantasy book and I am currently reading the second book in the trilogy along with other series he has masterminded. His writing has made me envious of him and has shown me that writing is more than just an ability. It is an extension of your creativity, your being and in some ways your soul.
There are some minor things that I enjoy in this life such as music, so long as it has a message even if that message is that there is no message. I enjoy people in general, much like the court system with me you are great until proven worthless. I also love being able to have people close to me that will here out my very much unnecessary rants and will always sit patiently and intently as I read my latest literary creation. I love being able to make people laugh and to be with people who will do the same for me. Other than that I am a rather cynical person who enjoys the misfortune of others so long as it isn't life altering. Unless, of course, it was deserved in one way or another.
And that my avid readers is all for now. And as always, if you don't like what you see that don't mean shit to me.

Religion and... Conformity?
So I have never and will never claim to be a very religious person. I have never read the bible, My train of thought usually wanders on the rare occasion that I go to church, and praying has always seemed a little much for me. I will never tell someone that having faith or that being religious is wrong and I believe it is wonderful to believe in something. However it is my personal opinion that religion was created to bring hope in times of despair, to give people something to believe in when everything else is wrong, and to bring a ray of light in the darkest of times. To this day in many places it still does that, however it does other things as well. From what I know most religions have a deity of sorts. And usually these higher beings preach forgiveness and love. If this is true, then why is it that since the dawn of time no two people of different beliefs have been able to see each other as equals, instead they fight as enemies. I am, of course, exaggerating and I am well aware that there are people all over of different beliefs and religions that live in harmony together. But there are all too many of those who don't, and i am about fed up with it.
In what church do you hear a priest say that the jews have forsaken us all? In what synagogue have you heard that the Muslims are the epitome of all evil? If you read far enough into any of the original scripts of any religion, you will see all of this. These beliefs may bring hope and peace to the few, but they bring hate and rage to the many. How many of us are guilty of being nervous when we see a person of Arabic composure in an airport? Most people are. i have not flown since before then so I cannot judge, but we all do it. It is wrong, but prejudice and a religious superiority complex tell us it is right. I have abandoned my Christian heritage and taken up an ancient Chinese belief known as Taoism. this tells us that the path to nirvana is through one self, and that the higher being you look to in times of need is found within, not above. I do not intend on trying to sell this to any of you, however i would encourage you to see things through your owns eyes and not how you are told to or even how everyone else sees them. Try thinking for yourself, it's a blast.
That's all. And no, I don't care if you disagree.

Sellout
I apologize for not having written for a while. It has been a rather busy and hectic summer for me, theres no doubt that it was fun however fun takes some serious work. But now that I am here we can revert back to our regularly scheduled bitching and moaning. So let it begin.
I was laying in bed this very evening and was thinking about a few things, one being how MTV makes me 1; hate music, 2; hate television, and 3; want to punch babies. I am sure it has taken some serious work and I know that they weren't always like this. But they have successfully ruined all that was good about music. I of course still love music, I will not however listen to anything that MTV decides to play more than once on the air.
Now it is my opinion that there is no such thing as bad music, Just because you don't enjoy something doesn't necessarily mean it's bad. It is just not something you may find appealing. However, when one plays something continuously it becomes annoying and eventually painful. To top off the incredibly genius procedure they have aggravating pricks decide what musci is played. these people have changed over the years. The first and very possibly worst of these people, was Carson Daily. I believe that his name alone is enough to explain how much of a douche he really was, and to this day still is. I would like very much to say that things from there got worse, however I do not believe that such an action is possible. But to say the least, having One hit wonder rappers and talentless members of boy bands announce who their favorite artists are is not only disgusting, but could also be considered an insult to music itself.
Now at this point I would like to talk about Sellouts. The definition I am speaking of refers to musicians who change their image or their sound or sometimes even both just to make more money and appeal to the "flow" crowd. "Flow" members are people who listen only to the most popular music and change their interests when popular TV hosts tell them to, hence going with the flow. And yes there are those of you that will say "Hey man are you telling me that you would turn down more money? No you wouldn't so don't tell me you would." Here is my response. Yes i would turn down more money if it meant doing something that wasn't really me. Something that I wasn't known for. I am going to school to be a teacher asshole, I am the wrong fucking person to talk to about money. Music is meant to be played from the heart, successful musicians become that way by playing the music that came to them. Not by playing what someone else discovered. And I know not everyone can be original, but they can at least make it seem like they tried. And before you respond to this you should know, that if you decide to comment on how you like MTV or TRL, or if you think that N'SYNC, Hannah Montana and the Jonas Brothers are "Super Great". I am fine with you having opinions, but if you share those specific ones with me; I will find you and attack you with a hammer. And if you think I wont, try me.
For right now thats all for me. This is rant enough for the time being. I hope you enjoyed it. And if not as always, go to hell.

Relationships
there is a lot to be said about relationships today. And honestly theres no way to get a straight answer and that is because there is no way to experience the good and the bad and have a leveled opinion on the subject. if a relationship is bad enough it can destroy your perspective on everything. i am not going to explain my perspective, again because i am biased just like the rest of the world. so stop asking you shit head. anyways, it is my personal opinion that relationships have the potential the be the greatest thing in the world as long as they are kept separate from everything else in life. because it is the other factors in life; friendships, family life and everything else thats important to you that destroy relationships. but only when they are melded together.
honestly i think that until marriage becomes a factor the only glimpse your "signifigant other" should have into your life, should be your family. and maybe, MAYBE if you feel really comfortable with this person and you are sure things will work out perfectly, you can then introduce them to your friends. but this should only be allowed if you are going to be able to focus on all parties at once. honestly, you can't buy two puppies, play with them both separately, but when they are together only pay attention to one. yeah i used an analogy, deal with it jackass, or better yet if you don't like it stop reading my friggen blog because ur ugly and i hate you.
so it comes down to this. if you are in a relationship, thats great. if your partner melds well with your friends thats stupendous. but if they don't, save yourself the trouble of having an issue break out. leave the ball on the field. make time for one and time for another. it has been said that relationships are the epitome of all evil, and it has also been said that they are all that can be trusted in life. the latter can be true, so long as you establish a grounds on which to walk. if not then the former is your guy. but trust me. make your love life a blessing, not a curse. do as i say. i know what i'm talking about. and if you think you can do better, go make your own blog, and do better so i can make fun of you for being a totally waste of space you fuck. there i blogged read it. i'll do it again when i feel like it. so deal.

Do you know who i am
So yesterday i was driving down the street perpendicular to mine on my way to pick up a friend and get something to eat. there was a pot hole in the road, so obviously i moved to the other side of the street to avoid it. While doing so a bicyclist was riding in the middle of the road coming towards me. He clearly sees me but decides to stand his ground, so i swerve out of the way to avoid him. I'm assuming as a way of showing his appreciation he decided to flip me off. Well. That wasn't going to fly with me. So i make the 3 pointer, fly by him, and cut him off at the pot hole. I casually step out of my car and proceed to scream at this arrogant prick while grasping the collar of his shirt. the conversation went as follows:
Me: "hey jackass come here." (i grab his collar and point to the pot hole)(keep in mind he was like 4'3" and really small, if he was bigger than me i would have let it go, but I'm a bully so it's ok.) "what is that in the road."
Biker: (after a long pause and me asking the question 3 more times.) "it's a pot hole, get off me man I'm sorry alright."
Me: "Do you know what potholes do to cars? o i don't think so cuz you're too cool for four wheels you use two. Well they are bad for cars which is why i avoided this particular one asshole. Now Why the hell did you decided to flip me off?"
Biker: "i thought you were messing with me man alright i said i was sorry."
Me: "Sorry doesn't cut it, you were straight up ride and you thought well im in the middle of the road but it's ok because i live in north andover so i'm better than everyone else. well listen to this buddy. if i'm gunna mess with you, im not gunna swerve out of the way. i'm gunna run ur ass over, and smile while i'm doing it you rich egocentric prick. now go ride ur bike home and thank god i didn't kick your ass today. and next time remember, cars are bigger than bikes. And the people in them are not friendly. So next time just don't go out you dumb bastard." (I release his collar, casually walk back to my car and drive away with a shit eating grin on my face.
Now, for any and all bikers who might read this. I am very proud of what i have done. I don't need your opinion, because I hate you and you are not real people. If anyone else has a problem with this. Again, i really don't care. Bikers are not only obnoxious, but they are arrogant. especially when theres no one to let them know they can't just do whatever they want. So there. Bite me.

For so long without success i have tried to explain to plenty of people that I am not against everything in this world, I am not a cynical person, I simply wish that we could live together in this world without having all this hatred and anger fueling our everyday lives. it bothers me to know that someone will wake up tomorrow morning and they will die because someone else felt they were more important. I also have issues dealing with the fact that the people of this "perfect" country feel they have problems that can rival those of the people living in third world countries or in lands of war. It makes me sick to see how selfish and greedy we as a people have become. Money and power have corrupted this world beyond fixing and now we have to lay in this bed of blood and oil the rich and powerful have made for us. And of course they will never have to experience the side effects of the things they have done. Oh what a wonderful system we have created.
I don't have much more to say on this topic and I'm pretty confident that the above words say more than enough. so once again to my non existent readers; if u don't like it or disagree, that sucks.

Seinfeld does it, why can't i?
I am watching the office right now and i must say, i am not impressed. As a matter of fact i want to drive to Steve Carrels house right now and smash a fire hydrant into his crotch. i really have no idea what to right so for the entirety of this blog I am going to talk about absolutely nothing of importance.
For years this question has been bothering me and truthfully i don't think anyone knows the answer. its the one about the two trains leaving different places at the same time one going a set speed, how fast does the other have to go? Who the hell comes up with this shit? is there some disgruntled mathematician who hates life that writes this and grins because he knows some child will forever be turned away from math because of this question therefore resulting in the systematic destruction of their life. Yeah that's really what happens too, its scary shit i know but that's life.
Life itself is just straight up evil. There are so many things in this world that just exist to make peoples lives more difficult. For instance, wind chimes. Let's invent a bunch of really noisy metal things and hang them by strings outside so we know when the wind is blowing, because just stepping outside is just too much of a hassle. Another example of useless shit we allow in this world, throw pillows. How spectacular is having 15 pillows on your bed/couch that you oh so merrily have to remove before you go to bed and put back on once you make it. Such a wonderful invention, however i think i would prefer being flogged.
To wrap up this wonderfully interesting post i'll will finish with bottled water and how god damned expensive it is. Hey let's take the one thing that every person on the planet needs to survive, pollute the shit out of it, then take all of the clean stuff, bottle it, and charge 3 dollars for it. Isn't being a douche bag fun? That conversation, however, leads into how evil corporate America truly is. And i will save that for another rainy day, because today simply isn't dismal enough. But it's close.
