i hate people with no tact; but again, i hate the spineless, weaker beings that let themselves be pushed over. we need to find a balance, to be able to say what's on our mind without hurting others' feelings, without being immature and saying that our own opinions are the right ones... opinions are just that. there is no right or wrong, but if you're going to go around, shouting to the world that yours are better, at least be able to back them up. i don't like raised voices, or name-calling for the sake of belittlement, or closedminded argument. i do think that everyone should just think before they speak, and those that can't, shouldn't speak. freedom of speech for the educated... who was that? socrates? i'll get around to it. "People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use." Soren Kierkegaard (1813 - 1855) anyways, i'm in a mood. i quit working at the fallback club last night: standing room only, and the three guys that spoke english were drunk. i'm sick. someone needs to make me some soup before my stomach implodes. brandon and i are giving it two years. C.amanda is leaving in two days for new york. we went to see a movie two nights ago. more about that later.
