Fly On A Wall

Full Circle

I'm getting pretty damn sick of feeling lonely all the time. Aaron moved to Washington in July, right at the end of the month, and I went to the airport with him to see him off. Well, in September, I'm paying to fly him back out here. It was right around that time that I noticed my world start to collapse around me. And then got better before they got relatively worse. The funniest part is everything came kinda full circle. I started with a friend who left, had nobody, found someone, spent as much time with them as I did with Aaron, then I made a huge mistake, and am left with nothing anymore, and now Aaron's coming BACK here to visit. I just figured, well, it's been about a year now, I may as well do a bit of a retrospective on the whole entire situation.

Being lonely isn't fun. Everday I sit at home either writing things are sound less depressed than I am, or I sit listening to sad music. How depressing is THAT? The characters that I write are less depressed than MYSELF. That's pretty damn sad. But that's the way life goes I 'spose. 

So I guess some people are just meant to be all alone. I guess I'm one of those people.

And ya know what.....at least there's no stress level of dealing with people I'd eventually unintentionally hurt, so it does have it's advantages.

Nursing Home

The only good thing about getting older is that you get to ruin your parents lives, and there isn't a damn thing they can do about it.

For the first 12 years they take care of you pretty well, sure, they have some rules, and sure we don't agree with them because, well, we're children. We can't mount a sophisticated argument to face them with. But as soon as you turn 13, and until you're 17, you are their BITCH. They know this, and you know this, and the fights only get worse. Like if they won't let you go to a concert, you argue, and they worry, because now you CAN mount a sophisticated argument against their rules, and you can keep the battle ongoing until they forget what you were arguing against, and it all blows over, and you each have a milkshake, say you're sorry and start all over 15 minutes later. Hooray for run on sentences!

This is also the reason why so many kids shut down, or commit suicide. They don't see any other option, and immediately think that not talking to their parents or killing themselves (both of which I'm in agreement with) is the only way out. Some kids also kill their parents. Then plead the court for mercy because their orphans. But as soon as you're 18, oh MAN, it's all over for them. You can now legally stay out late and make them sweat it out. You can do horrible things to yourself to show them that what they did screwed you up.

And as soon as you move out, they become depressed because they no longer have anyone to boss around, which is why they beg for grandchildren. Eventually, you get to finally show your parents what's good. You can tell them you're taking them to a great nursing home, get them in the car, and start driving, and go to an empty parking lot. You then make them look out the window and exclaim, "There's no nursing home dad, THIS IS WHERE THAT CONCERT WAS!!!!!!"

Then leave them there, tied to a chair.
Ah yes, the only other thing that's better than getting back at your parents, is having kids and raising them better than your parents raised you. Just to upstage them and show them you're better than they are. Parents just f*ck with us, and that's all there is to it. And the sooner we all realize it, the sooner we can get kids and parents to respect eachother. Respect, something that should be EARNED by the parent, not GIVEN because they are older or bigger. It should be based on their experience and their performance.

And that's all I got's to say about that I tell's ya.

Heath Ledger Novelty

I went to see "The Dark Knight" the other day, and for as long as it was, it was incredible. Heath Ledger was amazing in that film as The Joker. However, the film is making tons of money, and said to be suspected of breaking the highest movie income ever, which was Titanic. and that's history making right there, which is cool.

BUT, you have to ask yourself, even if it makes you sound a bit like a jerk, if the movie has become a bit of a novelty because of Heath's death. Because now everybody wants to see his amazing LAST performance, and I'm sure it's making more money for that reason. Now I'm not saying the movie wouldn't have been a hit if he were still alive, because that movie was going to be a hit either way, but you do have to ask yourself that.

Now everybody wants to see more of The Joker, and I'm sure it will be the role he will be remembered for. So they buy more tickets, they recommend it to their friends and family. Now like I said, I'm sure the movie would have been a hit either way, but it's definitely something worth thinking about.

And I DO recommend you go see that film, because he WAS incredible in it. Probably the greatest villian on screen since Hannibal Lector. And that's a hard role to follow up to.

Grocery Carts

So, I was at a grocery store today, and I saw a man, in perfect health, and perfectly capable of physical labor, making an employee of the store push his cart fill of crap out to his car for him. How rude can you GET, America?

First off, these people work hard enough, long enough days, and now you want to make them do THIS too? Look, it's like being a teacher and a parent. A teacher shouldn't have to tell your kid how to behave, YOU should, because YOU'RE the parent. All the teacher should have to do is teach arithmetic and writing.

Now, if you're handicapped, that's an entirely different situation. If you're in a wheelchair, or are missing an arm, then yes, the people at the grocery store should be kind enough to push your cart out for you, and if they offer, even if you have all your extremities (limbs), then yes, it's alright to take them up on their offer, because they OFFERED the service to you.

Now maybe that's what happened with that guy, maybe not.
All I'm saying is grow up America, the rest of the world is NOT your f*cking mommy.

Nobody loves you, or me.

Teach An Old Dog New Tricks

I have found the saying, "You can't teach an old dog new tricks" entirely untruthful, and let me explain why. I have a yellow lab, who's about 14 years old. He's actually getting a bit sick, and has some near death experiences soon, HOWEVER...that being said, he has recently learned to open our sliding glass door with his nose. This disproves that theory of not being capable of teaching an old dog new tricks.

Here's my other question, 2 out of 3, can you teach a new dog OLD tricks? Sure, but it takes a while. For instance, when you get a puppy, making him sit is a trick you have to teach him. So why's it work out that you can teach a new dog old tricks, but not an old dog new tricks? Somebody lost f*ckin' ground here.

And 3rd of all, what about people? Can you teach old people new tricks? Of course, because there are grandparents who are insanely tech savvy. So it all depends on whether or not your mind is CAPABLE of handling the information you're receiving or not. Age IS merely a number. And same goes with babies, you can teach new babies old tricks.

In fact, just in this past week, I've taught my dog how to roll over, catch a biscuit off his nose, and rob a bank. And, once, all three at the same time. THAT was awesome. So with all this being said, I think the saying should be, "You can't teach a new teen old tricks"....because they don't listen and can't absorb SH*T.

iPod Names

So I got an iPod touch last night, and when you get any iPod, they allow you to name it. Here are some good funny names for iPod names:

IPOD NAMES

*iTodd (this is my current one)

*iHop (that's the other one I've got)

*iVan (this was my cousin's)

*iGod (I assume somewhere, this is some priests iPod's name)

*iFraud (if you get a Zune, you could name it this, lol)

*iMod (for all those gamers out there)

*iCod (for all those fishers out there)

And that's all I got right now, feel free to send in your own, or leave your own under the comments section. Maybe we could have a vote, see who's is best.

And the first place winner could win an iHop.

Not an iPod named that, I mean the actual place.

That'd be awesome.

Laser Tag

So, when you go to play laser tag, you get to choose either a team name, or a name for yourself. I remember I went with Michael and Colton and Aaron one time, and we chose our own names, not a team one. Colton picked Snow White, and Michael picked Yoda, and when I went to turn in my name, they told me that I could not use it.

Apparently, you cannot name yourself God in laser tag.

Are they afraid I'm going to smite someone with my laser? But they also wouldn't let me choose Satan, or Jesus either. I can't remember what I ended up going with, but it was completely odd. I'm not sure if it's because it may offend someone, or what, but I do have to admit, if I was a 7 year old and was beaten in laser tag, I'd be pretty damn stoked to be able to go to school on monday and tell all my friends, "On Saturday, Jesus shot me in the head with a laser!"

Christ Laser would also be a good band name.

Birthday

So congrats to me, I didn't die for another 12 months. A whole 365 days. I got this picture made for my livejournal from my friend Lynore.

So that's pretty cool. I also got a comment from "Daria Morgendorffer" on my myspace that read, "Hey, it's your birthday, that's pretty cool. Congratulations, you're ALMOST an adult." The ironic thing is how many "friends" and "family" forgot about my birthday.

Just cementing my theories as facts about isolation and abandonment.

F*ck you world.

Chick Flicks

I just went and saw "Mama Mia" the movie musical, with music and lyrics by ABBA, a 70's disco band. First of all, it was like someone recorded someone else's bad acid trip. And secondly, it made me wanna go out and get a boyfriend.

But what I'm getting at is that it was a TOTAL AND COMPLETE chick flick. You know those movies, the ones where only chicks would like them. Hospital room movies. And Titanic. 

"Men are from mars

Women are from venus

Girls have vaginas

Men have the penis

Men wanna visit a trainyard

And the women pine for venice"

That's my stance on THAT. But if you want to get a girl, I suggest start enjoying chick flicks. There are many things you will have to endure when with a woman. Her period, her BS, and her movies. That's why I liked girls that were underground cult kinda girls. Girls that liked monty python and stuff. Now I hate basically all women, but whatever. I also suggest men start wearing tighter clothes to show off their bodies to women (lots of girls have stared at me since I started wearing skinny jeans and tighter shirts) and I suggest that men also start carrying purses.

And if you men actually do this, then I just proved mind control works.

A Girl Screamed At Me

So I went to the mall earlier, and a girl screamed in my face while I was standing outside waiting for my ride. She walked right by me, and she was cute. She had short blonde hair in two braids, I mean, she was CUTE. But, I'm never going to really want to date again, so whatever. Anyway, she walked right by me with her friend, looked at me in the face, and did some sort of bat skreetch. Afterwards, she came running back and said she was just having fun, smiled, and then ran off.

Either I'm so hot that girls can't talk to me without screaming, or now people are using mating calls.

I'm going to go with the first one. Because it's so much more egotastical. No. That is NOT a word. But you still can't use it. Anyway, it was an odd experience. Rarely do girls say anything to me. I was thinking about this earlier today, and I realized women have all the power. They can chose who they want to talk to, and who they don't, and it can drive a man to madness/suicide. I'm not far from wanting the second one lately. But not only do they have THAT option, but every girl will get talked to and liked by SOMEONE. So they're NEVER alone. Men don't have that. Not all men are liked by at least one girl. 

So men, we're screwed.

I propose we all turn gay.

Then women can't have children without artificial insemination.

And then the population will decrease.

And the species will die out.

MUHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Or, you ladies can continue to scream into my face.

Please do.

Then I can't hear your lies, like when you say, "I love you."
