Removing stupid people from your life is important. The trick is doing it in a way that they can’t possibly find out. Today, I figured out how, for two of them.
A while ago, I got rid of a very stupid person here, on Tumblr. I felt so much better afterwards. I bet this has the same effect, but maybe even more, as it’s not on Tumblr. I won’t name where, but ahhh I feel better already.
I always thought the phrase “that person needs their ass kicked” was pretty harsh, cruel, and just not ok. I’ve changed my mind. Maybe I’ve become more bitter, but I don’t think that it’s so bad anymore, and even think that on occasion. I don’t get how people can get so inconsiderate, have no compassion for anyone, can be so sexist, racist, and an out-right asshole. I do not get how someone can get to be like that. I just don’t. And I want to call them out on it, but I don’t because I don’t want to give them what they want, a reaction, a debate, a chance to talk. I just don’t want to do that at all. So I say nothing to these people. But that isn’t enough. Because I have to hear it, read it, see it, whatever. Just doing that is not worth it. I get mad, upset, and it ruins my day. You can’t not give in and also protect yourself from bullshit at the same time. You have to somehow get away. I think, for these people, I have found out how.
As a kid (and now), I always had a fear of being a know-it-all, someone who people get annoyed with for always being bossy or a one-upper. I hated the idea. I do everything I can to not do that. So when people seem to relish that role, and have no reason to do so, I cringe and it just pisses me off. Some people need to just get their ass kicked. In the meantime, fuck you, I don’t have to read your shit anymore you dipshits. And yes, for you language nazis, I mean every fucking word of that. If your virgin eyes can’t handle the word fuck, grow up or go home. Yes, I get angry, and for a reason. I deserve that right. I hate how people make you feel bad for having feelings. Fuck you, and yeah you deserve that too.
Games suck without you.
Music finds
The best part about staying up late and writing, then doing random chores with the internet on is the new music you find. You’re in a different state of mind than you are at any other time. At least for me, I’m much more receptive and open to new songs/artists/albums. And when you’re in that state of mind, the new music you find seems to attach itself to whatever your doing or thinking at the moment. Or at least to the feeling you have now. I love that.
I just watched an anti-SOPA/PIPA video that featured the Rolling Stones’ Beast of Burden. I’ve heard the song before, but not being a huge Stones fan I’ve never really listened to it as anything more than background noise. It’s a freaking awesome song. I’m pretty cool, calm and collected right now. And that’s how the song makes me feel. So, yeah, that’s cool. And now Iron Maiden’s Number of the Beast is on. Hmmm, skip. haha, sorry.
I think I might go read some more Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. I’ve been neglecting that book with all my apartment finding chores.
Ah yes, I haven’t mentioned that here in a public post yet (I’ve also left it off facebook) - I move in to an apartment Friday. It’s a duplex in Fountain Square that was just recently completely remodeled on the inside, and it’s pretty freaking awesome. I found a sectional with a couch and chaise the other day that I loved, and I put it on hold today. Cable and internet is being installed Friday when we move in, and yeah, progress. I have my LASIK exam tomorrow, and will most likely have the procedure by the end of February. My friend’s got me a Nike+ SportWatch GPS, and I’ll start my half marathon training soon. And the two nice pens my mom got me for Christmas, despite the fact that they are monogrammed in the most lame way possible (seriously all I needed/wanted was a pen. not necessary at all), are awesome. Also, I have 4 new BR shirts, 3 with french cuffs, that are freaking awesome, plus a few new ties. I really like my new outfits. Like I said before, I’m not really a big fashion person, at all. But I do like to dress up, and yeah. These are nice. Now I just need to learn to iron properly… hmmm.
Primer: A Guy's Post-College Guide to Growing Up
I forget where/how I found this site, but I like it a lot. I used to go to “The Art of Manliness” a fair amount but personally, that’s so far over the top and lame, makes me gag a lot with it’s eliteness (sorry, that really is how I feel - I mean just relax a little) and just not my thing at all. At the same time, I’m not a big fan of GQ on one end, hipster-wear on the other. I wouldn’t say I’m in to fashion at all. I am, however, a huge fan of Uncrate and “cool shit” in general. And I like nice clothes and like getting ideas and advice from people I think fit me. That’s where Primer comes in. Well, so far at least. They have an Uncrate feel with their “The Getup” posts, and have some advice, and yeah, I like them so far. Give them a look.
