Selfish Friends

I have this friend, who, always is full of expectation and when you do not live up to his idea, whether he's expressed the idea or not, he comes unglued and really pissed and defensive. You can't even talk to him when he's in this mode because he's too busy crying the 'victim'.

I'm sick of this behavior and I really do not need friends like this.

Practice some peace and patience with people if you're so freakin' spiritual and quit tearing everyone a new asshole when you're feelings are hurt by your own doings and expectations.

Unwanted Opinions

   Okay, I'm all for giving a listening ear, and getting feedback from people that I approach for wisdom and guidance, but this unsolicited advice has really got to go!
   So, those of you who care, which I'm not sure there's many of out there anymore (everyone is too self absorbed these days, go figure), please wait until you're 'asked' for your opinion before blurting out some blah blah about what you think one should do about something that you probably have never experienced. If you have experienced it, then relay your experience, not the be-all end-all solution.
   I just love these blogs and being able to vent out some issues here. But, I think they just get archived away in a lost sea of computers and will someday be DELETED from all existence for all eternity.

Idolizing Everything!

I hate, and this makes me very turned-off at people, of how we idolize everything. For example, mention the word Ferrari when talking about cars. Everyone thinks it would be so damn cool to have such an impractical and pretty much useless car, but.... we've been 'trained' to think that 'this' is success, and this is 'cool'. Well, I see it as lack of wisdom, lack of free thinking, lack of intelligence. Listen all, Labels are just that, LABELS! A car has a name, a laundry soap has a name, everything for sale HAS A NAME, that's how we market it! But we are so use to becoming familiar (a word derived from FAMILY) with these items and their names and what they 'represent', that we are not seeing the clear picture. We've been poisoned by marketing and labels.

Another example, beer! What makes a foreign beer cooler? The name?!?! It's still just fermented hops and barley and crap and makes you drunk and pee a lot and act like an idiot.

Another: Some TV shows, like "sex in the city!" This one really pisses me off. Talk about glamorizing more dysfunctional behavior for America! No wonder immigrants from foreign countries are coming over here and succeeding, while we sit back, watch our crap on television, get poisoned with bad TV and too drunk off of our fermented hops with the cool name, dreaming about some crap car that we'll never afford yet continually lust after, while these NEW Americans work their little asses of in our convenience stores and wind up owning several businesses and putting ALL of their kids through college and best of all, and here's the kicker everyone... THEY STAY A FAMILY THROUGH IT ALL!! Not broken up like the damn naughty show "SEX IN THE CITY" crap!

Get a clue America!

Dead Beat Moms

How many of these mothers who are getting child support, are spending it at the casino, at the bar, and at the drug dealer's house?

Meanwhile, the children (and the fathers) are starving. The children not getting the crae they need with the funds, and the fathers struggling and sacrificing to make these payments.

There should be a check and balance system, an auditing process for all mothers who receive child support, and, if they're not on the up and up, they DO NOT GET IT!

Angry?

Not feeling too angry today, but then again, I'm putting my faith in God, which is ALWAYS the 'cure' for angry thoughts and intentions. Though not always easy, I can see that God is working daily in my life when I take this approach and frame of mind. Maybe since I started to vent my anger on a regular basis, by typing out my issues and also, by thanking God for EVERYTHING (I read "The Power of Praise" book a few months ago), it has helped!

Thank God! Cause there's plenty to be 'burned up' about if I let it...

CSS Design

I've been studying css coding and I'm having a frustrating time at it. It doesn't seem to make sense yet. I wouldn't say that I'm angry about it, but it is wearing on me!

Mental Health System

Wouldn't it be more functional if rather than 'try' to help hundreds of individuals a little bit, these 'intern' wannabe counselors who get their starts at the state run agencies who deal with our mentally ill maybe take on a smaller amount of clients, so that they can spend time with them, because the healing comes when you spend TIME with people.
Here's a concept for all you 'been to school so long to get some degree' but 'lack common sense skills' people: When you want to teach a child, or a dolphin, or a friend about trust, and love, and ANYTHING, you have to spend TIME with them. To really get to know someone, you have to spend TIME with them. To help someone, you have to spend TIME with them. Not a few minutes, not throwing drugs at the problem, and especially NOT let our mentally ill loved ones WANDER through their own problems when their failing miserably!
I'm really upset at you guys!

Whiners

Quit whining. Enough is enough. I'm tried of listening to your problems and you blaming everyone else about it. If you want to change your situation, then change it for you, not worry about everyone else's part.

Cheaters

Hey, why is it that it is becoming commonplace for many to 'hook up' with someone else before ending a relationship? What are people thinking these days? This opens up a lot of issues for me personally. Number one issue, is that very very few are committed in their relationships. Trust is not there. Why? People are more self-centered these days. What causes this self-centeredness? FEAR! A thousand forms of it. Just watch people for awhile and see what happens. Listen to how selfish they are. How it's what "they" want in their relationships. What kind of mate would be the 'perfect' mate. Where's the love? Word to the wise here, love is an action! Period. Sure, there's a time when chemistry kicks in and we 'fall in love'. Many are getting 'addicted' to this blissful 'feeling' of falling in love, and when the grind of a relationship kicks in (often called... the reality of life), people are scooting towards finding that 'feeling of falling in love again'. To carry on this way ends in bitter lonliness and eventually never being able to form a partnership with someone.

Here's the zen thought of it all:
To live a lifetime with someone, you have to live a lifetime with someone!
Excuse theirs faults, love them and keep going.
Sure, there's times when you just 'have' to let go of a very bad situation. But most of the problems today come from people being impatient, selfish, needy, and basically unloving.
It is NOT 'all about me'. Get a clue people. Stop cheating YOURSELVES!

People who abuse children

Do not ever ever ever abuse a child! I see these parents whipping their kids in the supermarkets and here's the deal, you screwed up parents... START ASKING PEOPLE WHO HAVE RAISED FUNCTIONAL KIDS WHAT THEY DID WHEN IT COMES TO DISCIPLINE. Don't go to your drunken bar friends for advice, cause they're probably hurting their kids the same way. Get a clue! You look like a fool in public and you're really hurting your child. Do you get it yet? YOU - ARE - HURTING - YOUR - CHILD! A young person, not capable of standing up for themselves, one who looks to YOU for support and care! If you want to CONTROL something, CONTROL yourself from this very WRONG behavior.

Anyone who views child abuse in public, make it known immediately!

People that call you... "Dude"

Instead of calling me 'dude' when you come up to have a conversation with me, why not ask me my name? Are you that freaking retarded and have zero common courtesy skills? Apparently A-Holes.

Share Your Anger

I'm pissed that my fiance suffers from some mental illness and she's supposed to be getting help from the "system" and at sound mental health and others involved, but these agencies are revolving door operations because of, in my opinion, lack of funds, lack of quality time spent with each client, throwing too many prescribed drugs at the individuals without 'really' watching their reactions. It's just insanity. What happened to the times when a doctor 'cared' for his patients? The other day someone who was raised in England explained to me that each individual gets 'a family doctor' who manages the individual, and if a specialist is needed, the 'family doctor' finds the specialist, but the 'family doctor' always manages the individuals health... FOR LIFE! The US health care system is screwed up, especially when it comes to dealing with out MENTALLY ILL or those who CANNOT ADVOCATE FOR THEMSELVES. This really gets me angry!
