On the Corner of Walk and Don't Walk...

INEQUALITY (take 2 minutes to read this one)

Thu, 28 Sep 2006 19:42:57 GMT

dont you get it? these people are todays slaves. sure its not the same, nothings ever the same. and thats why its still going on, in the 21st century no less.

the whole reason no one seemed to mind treating "colored" people different is because they werent the same. even after women realized thier right to vote some of the same people who jumped up and down in celebration later stood against blacks being treated equally because they felt the issue was as inequal as the black people involved.

the whole movement is centered around differences and similarities. our country believed that white women were equal with white men before black men. simply because of the color of thier skin, and today these people are denied something they have been subjected to during thier childhood, at least to some degree if not their entire childhood.

here are the questions you should ask yourself next time you are walking to your car or taking out the trash:

is the civil rights movement over?

did we leave anyone behind?

try not to jump to any conclusions about the way things should be just because you think its the accepted answer. think again about civil unions.

Dear Journal,
im so glad that even when i get so depressed with my life that i think i need to write about it to distance myself from it, i still have you that will be happy and interested when i say my life is still going pretty good. it seems that the more depressed i really get the less likely i am to try to convince people i am in a good mood. so im glad that even one none of my friends care about me i still have you. it trully is a superiority complex. the only reason we write down to journals is because they are less than us and need our snippets of life to be able to survive thiers.
love,
bret

do you ever have a day when you are in such a good mood that you feel like you are a better person? i dont mean better person because you dont like who you normally are but because you wish you could always be in as good a mood as you are that day. Thats how i feel today. because i am in such a good mood i wish i could talk to everyone in the world that i dont know so well just so the the impression i can give them is that i am really happy with myself and everything around me to the extent that they may think i am as great a person as i feel like i am. i would love to be around you in this mood just so i would feel like you had a good grasp of the way i like to feel and possibly have a glimpse of me at my best. but since i understand you are a very busy person i will leave you with hopes of passion and value that you may enjoy both of them in some form today. ~Bret

well that was interesting. i just had a 10 minute debate (with myself) about whether or not i should shave my mustache. last night someone made fun of my mexistache and i shrugged it off like i shrug off most criticism, but later my mind wandered back to it and i decided that i did want to shave off my mustache. quickly i felt i was faced with the idea of shaving just because of what someone else thinks. i realized that as much of a candidate i have been for not letting other people determine your actions i realized that you also cant let what people think keep you from doing something you might like just because they agree with you. i have always hated the idea of letting other people determine who i am but also have been against being so adamant that no one change you that you spend your time worried so much about not being them that you still arent being yourself. it was when i looked in the mirror with a razor in my hand that i was reminded of how much this means to me.

ps: i shaved it off

Sun, 19 Feb 2006 08:24:34 GMT

i have recently decided that i want to do something a little differently so i think i will you may notice you may not

Wed, 15 Feb 2006 07:19:22 GMT

why is it that weaker people in general cant seem to realize when its time for them to just leave? its like when youre in a relationship and it maybe doesnt work out so well and by the time the end rolls around you are just ready to be done with them. i mean trully like not see them anymore. but they still come around maybe to try to work things out and start over or maybe to make you jealous with how happy they are now. its soo fucking annoying. if you are out of my life, especially if you had something to do with me being so happy to see the end of you why the hell do you keep coming back. if the end has come and i am loving it then dont try to change my mind just because you cant get over what we "had" or may be able to have again. just go the fuck away. seriously. i dont want to see you and thats not going to change mostly because it was a long annoying process to drive me to hating you in the first place. dont hang out with my brother and then call me if i dont accept it. dont come around my friend when he and i were happy to see you go. just be gone. we arent interested in being jealous over who you are fucking now and dont want to talk about you trying to get close to someone i care about. just go away. we dont want to talk about it. we dont want to here about it. we just dont really want to see you again ever. seriously

im done whining now

i promise

unless you decide we should talk about it

a moth is a much more beautiful creature than a butterfly. next time you see a moth out a night if it isnt flying really take a look at it. they have a much prettier everything.

i can't understand why a Kentucky Fried Chicken commercial features the song Sweet Home Alabama

Mon, 30 Jan 2006 17:16:02 GMT

i want my entry right now. i just typed it and its gone...

i was told its more like guidelines

Mon, 30 Jan 2006 16:51:14 GMT

but as i see it, my philosophy:

dont get offended its a waste of time and makes you look like a pussy when you cant take something.

dont expect people to care about your problems or drive the people who do care to stop because of how many you have.

do something. dont waste your time doing nothing. you have nothing to show for the hours you have spent on the couch.

if you want to do something do it. about everything is possible if you give it a real try. and no one remembers all of the things you wanted to do. only the things you actually accomplished.

have compassion. respect people and attempt to please them without violating any other guidelines.

love. often and wholeheartedly.

keep your word to the best of your ability. dont give your word if it will cause you to violate any other guidelines.

stay in tune with what you do and do not like. dont pretend to like something you dont or dislike something you do. same applies for wants.

if you can be pleased in multiple mindsets in different ways attempt to appease the mindset that will linger the longest. and not trade happiness in a flighty mindsets for unhappiness in a lingering one. if you dislike the girl more than you like the sex dont trade future happiness for a happiness that will be gone at the time of climax.

exercise self control. control yourself to fit these guidelines. make sure you understand why you are using self control.

stop trying to prove yourself. leave peoples attention to what they choose to focus it on and dont try to constantly take it.

know your worth. dont ask it from other people.

dont try to convince yourself of something that does not exist. dont make drama out of nothing or pretend to love simply because you want to.

leave the past there. its where it belongs.

broaden your horizons. always work towards a larger world and a better you.

entertain yourself first and others later. laugh if its funny dont if its not. your crowd shouldnt change what you laugh at.

dont strive for greatness. there are many fewer great men than mediocre ones. strive for contention. if you are content you should have no complaints.

learn to enjoy your failures. dont strive for failure but realize you will have many more of them than successes.

***i am still working through the interactions of these guidelines

i agree entirely, feeling left out is never fun...

Mon, 23 Jan 2006 16:26:20 GMT

on a much better note it rained today so i finally got ot wear my trenchcoat and furry hat out in public. and it was nice to smile at people and have them smile back. (with a furry vagina on your head i dont think they can help it)

now remember one of the reasons i hated taking my medicine at full strength... ungodly acid reflux for the entire day. anyone know the best way to deal with it. i use maalox but wondering if anything does the trick better. im kinda worried about my teeth too because i know a couple people who have had the enamel eaten off of there teeth by acid reflux and id like to skip that part if at all possible. and never eat soup if you think you may have acid reflux. omg shitty two hours of class after that one. yogurt is a much better choice for breakfast if you have my problems.

last night i dreamed about a girl. it was like we had hung out for a while and we were good friends. and for some reason or another i told her that i would give her the best first kiss she had ever gotten. and she asked me how i was going to manage that. my answer was that it was going to take some conch shells and a refridgerator. then out of no where i layed her down on the coffee table and kissed her. she stopped me mid kiss and said what about the conch shells. i didnt have a reply i just kissed her again and we made out for like five minutes. it was amazing how detailed this dream was. it really felt like a first kiss. that kind that both people want but are scared of messing up. it really had every aspect of that to it. and it reminded me how long it had been since i kissed someone i was genuinely interested in. i couldnt believe how many girls i had kissed that i didnt really enjoy kissing. and i realized what i am ready to start looking for again.

if there were ever a time i used the phrase "______ rocks my socks off" it would be when describing fall out boys album from under the cork tree.

i think that anyone who can put up with four very slightly talented pop stars attempt to sing a popular old song instead of listening to the original has no taste in music whatsoever and should possibly stick to gregorian chant labeled as meditation music

...a whimsical attempt to make light of yesterday

Thu, 19 Jan 2006 18:34:08 GMT

i dont think you can trully be meditating if you are listening to a meditation for dummies cd or something of the same nature with a more attractive name. kinda like those self help books. its not self help if you have to read a lame book to get your shit together. its a book help book because obviously you arent capable of self help you need the book.
