Its All Good....

If you've been reading the crap I've written since the beginning, you might be surprised by what I'm going to say here shortly. The majority of the drivel that has been posted on here is angry, annoyed, or at the very least harshly opinionated.

Here comes the crazy...

I actually have a pretty good life. I have a good job, awesome friends, and a loving family. I make good money, have good taste in music, look absolutely debonair in whatever I wear, and am just an all around awesome dude. And I know how to brag and lie about myself in the most obvious way possible!

Seriously though, life is good. As long as you look at the right way. If you cling to all the setbacks and bad experiences, then life will suck for you. If you spend time whining about a bad experience, you are only locking yourself into that point in time. One of the things that bothers me most is listening to people whine and bitch, for long periods of time, about how someone screwed them over. Move on. Obviously they don't deserve your attention.

Its hard to believe the amount of times that I've read a certain dialogue. Back in the MySpace times, and in the FB era too. And it usually goes something like this:

"I met this guy/girl tonight, he/she is really hot. I feel the magic."

1 week later: FB status changed to "In A Relationship" and the dialogue continues:

"My boyfriend/girlfriend is the greatest!"

1 more week later: "The love of my life is taking me out to dinner and a movie."

The next week: "I hate liars and cheaters, love is BS, all men/women suck."

Do you get my point of all this? Your decisions make who you are. if you made a bad decision, accept it, learn from it, and move on. Life is good. Being alive is good. Whats the point in worrying about the bad stuff? That's just wasted time.

We have only a limited amount of time that we can spend as living beings, why waste it focusing on the negative? Instead of thinking stuff like "Why doesn't he/she like me?" Think more like: "Its their loss, I'm gonna go have fun with my friends instead."

Life can be good, if you really want it to be.

P.S. It's still OK to be annoyed by stupid people.

Manifesto of Sorts....

I've been wanting to say this for years....

I've spent a lot of time trying to find a way to mix my personal life with the life my family wants me to have. I've realized that a harmonious situation will never be. So, I've abandoned the idea of trying to please everyone. I'm just going to be me. This is who I am, love it or hate it.

I may change some things in my life as time goes on, but it will only be when I think I need too. I've always been someone who does not respond well to pressure, so pushing stuff on me only sends me in the opposite direction. I'm not interested in religion. There, I said it. I've tried studying it, evaluating it, and applying it. Nothing worked for me. I have what is called a scientific mind. I need proof. "Faith" is not good enough. Some say faith is all you need. If you believe in something strongly enough, than it is so. I spent a week believing I had a million dollars in my account, but when I checked, $6.30. Faith can move mountains? Yeah, only if you have faith that your bulldozer will start.

I'm not trying to dissuade anyone from their chosen beliefs, just trying to explain mine. I've spent my life avoiding opportunities to speak my mind. And, in a sense, I still am. But, I have to say it somehow.

Basically, all I am saying is: I'm not a religious guy, my morals/principles may not be the same as yours, and I won't change because someone thinks I should.

I'd like to think I'm a decent person. I love my family, close and extended. I'd do anything for them and for my friends. I understand the basics of "right" and "wrong". But, I won't let an organized religion tell me how to live my life or care about those that I do. And any religion that tells my family or friends to dislike me because I'm not one of them, well, that just isn't right. Family should be able to transcend all that. So should friendship.

Besides, most religions are just business. If they have an accountant, and lawyers, then you have to suspect their motives...

I'm just saying....

Done for the night.
