Alright, real quick since I wrote on entry and it was really good and then the computer restarted and then it lost it, so fuck it, this one is a lot less formal and it won't sound as good as the other one...as if anyone ever critiques grammar and sentence structure on this thing...and if you do, you're a sad, sad person. Anyway, couple of quick bitches here: first, people who say that change is good are people who aren't dealing with the real world. What they're saying is that something that you didn't want to have happen just happened, and you're supposed to look on the bright side of that. I'm not saying that everything in life should be the same as it was years ago, that would be stupid, but people shouldn't make other people feel better with cheesy-ass Hallmark sayings like that. People who say that aren't just lying to you, they're slowing down the thinking of all mankind. Anyway...onto a second rant here, don't do what people tell you to do. I mean, in terms of searching for advice. Advice is like sex...go to certain people for it, after a couple of bad experiences you stop going to them. Okay, I know there's a better way to phrase that, but you get the idea, advice/sex, there's a connection there, but it's 4:00 in the morning and I can't find it. Anyway, don't listen to people who say who to hang out with and socialize, and don't let the people you hang out with now tell you who to hang out with later...it's none of their business and it's not like they'd be the ones spending time with them. Usually the people who they tell you not to talk to at all are people who you should have been talking to for a while. I've been talking to my friend Erin for like, two years now, despite the fact that no one who I hang out with wanted me to talk to her for some reason. It's not like we talk about a lot and it's not like any great breakthroughs are gonna happen because I talk to her, I mean we basically talk about nothing. Sports, what's going on around us, and make fun of my roommate...that's about the extent of it, we talk about nothing. But in the two years of talking about nothing, it ended up actually meaning something, for me at least. I mean, even though some of the conversations with her can be kind of downers since neither one of us has what you would call a "high" self-esteem at times, I know more about sports, I can vent about anything I want, and I can see what jokes would bomb or not without telling them to a hostile audience, and I wouldn't trade talking to her for anything. I wouldn't be able to do that if I would have listened my friends and not talked to her. And what's cool about that is that anything that my friends weren't in terms of personality, that's what she is, and vice versa. Don't let people tell you who you should and shouldn't hang out with, because really the benefits really far outweigh the consequences. Well, after having said all that and sounding preachy, next time I'll at least try to be a little more upbeat. Oh, by the way, the line I used for my entry last time was from the movie Mallrats. If you haven't seen it, see it, it's funny as fuck. Anyway, I'm outta here, so depending on what time you read this, good morning, good afternoon, good evening, and good night. ROBERT: They won't run the ad, they said it's sexist. NIGEL: What's wrong with being sexy? ROBERT: No, no..."IST", sexIST. --SPINAL TAP
