Social Cowards

When it comes to social media, there are a lot of annoying aspects. Like every other invention, we have to take the good with the bad. My biggest pet peeve is reading something that was posted by a social coward. I do my best to avoid reading such posts, but sometimes it’s impossible to avoid. I don’t believe in blocking anyone, because I don’t see the point of accepting someone’s friendship and then going behind their back and blocking them. (That seems like a cowardly act!)

The social cowards are the people who post random comments about someone without naming the individual. An example on Twitter would be, “oomf needs to get a life.” (Oomf is the acronym for one of my followers!)

On Facebook, you will find the same type of cowardly behavior. The social cowards will write something like, “Someone is lucky I’m a nice person…” I honestly don’t see the point of such nonsense. It seems to me that people write these posts in search of attention. I am certain there is a correlation between social cowards and the people who post about their anonymous haters.

If you have a problem with someone and you wish to voice an opinion, do us all a favor and Direct Message the person or send them a message on Facebook. The very least that you can do is have the courage to write the person’s name so they can have an opportunity to respond to your comment. Please leave the rest of us out of your pettiness. Some people use social media for entertainment purposes only. I understand that you are a social media thug and you feel the need to almost let someone know how you feel about them, but the rest of us would rather not read about your opinions.

There is an unwritten rule that says, if you can’t name the person, for whatever reason, don’t post your dumbass comment. It’s pretty simple! Do us all a favor and write your comment on a post-it-note and stick it to the wall of your bedroom. That way, you will have the same effect on your targeted individual, without annoying the rest of us!

To all the social cowards out there, either man-up and write to someone directly, or keep your opinions to yourselves!

Wear the shirt in your profile pic, if you’re going to be one!

     Thanks!

The Revelation

Heaven’s Angels   A Lesson   The Laws   The Tradition  The Myth  Fallon The Blind Dolphin

I sat in my room and patiently waited for Joan to show up. For some reason, I sensed she would not appear; something changed. As I sat on the couch and thought, I realized there was only one difference; I was in a different mind state. I, my friends, was sober!

It turns out that I lost complete control of my drinking; I drank so much, in fact, that I actually began to hallucinate. No wonder they call hard liquor, spirits. It turns out that Joan of Arc never appeared in my room and none of the religious myths are true. Everything existed inside of my mind.

Thankfully, I only wrote a few ridiculous blog posts. I can’t imagine how much the writers of the bible drank in order to create such a lengthy book of nonsensical tales, but I do know the amount of “Grandpa’s Cough Medicine” consumed, was of biblical proportions.

Most likely, this will be my last post about the mythical world which I created. I plan on getting help with my drinking problem, but if I do regress, there may be future posts. Here’s to taking things one day at a time.

There is one aspect that troubles me about the experience. During my days under the influence of alcohol, I may have imagined that former Florida Gators star and current Denver Broncos backup, Tim Tebow, replaced Kyle Orton as the starter and led my favorite team to a five and one record.

I remember all of the “experts” saying, “Tebow doesn’t have what it takes to be an NFL quarterback,” so I’m pretty certain Tim is roaming the sidelines with a clipboard, as the backup to Orton. I honestly hope everything I imagined was true, but I know it would most likely be impossible. I am sure I may have made some insensitive comments about Tebow’s greatness and I apologize for offending anyone.

There has to be an explanation for the creation of these outlandish stories. I am not a neurologist, but I think my mind created the Joan of Arc appearances to prove that anyone can make up whatever they want and if people begin to believe the message, a religion will be founded. (I hope no one in the future comes across my folklores; I wouldn’t want people to actually think they are real! *WINK*)

I don’t know if the Tebow story is real or a figment of my imagination, but I will assume they are untrue. I think the reason I came up with the Tebow myth, assuming they are not true, is due to the upcoming matchup between the Denver Broncos and the New England Patsies. I want to destroy the Patsies so badly that I actually created a super hero quarterback. (There is no way any such person could actually exist; is there?) I know we would kill the Brady Bunch if we allowed Tebow to play, but I also understand that he is probably just the backup. I guess it is all just a little wishful thinking!

I know the truth about Tebow can easily be uncovered, but I can’t bring myself to fact check; I don’t want to ruin such a great dream. If someone can be so kind as to provide me with a reality check, I would greatly appreciate it! (Please keep in mind that I am in a fragile state!)

To review:

     Fact: There is no “god!” This is a fact that cannot be overstated!

Assumption: Tim Tebow is not the greatest quarterback ever and he is not currently the starter on the Broncos team which has a five and one record with him at the helm! (That would just be ridiculous!)

I can’t wait until next Sunday, when the fourth quarter begins and it’s TEBOW TIME!!! (Even if it is just a bunch of nonsense that I created in my head!)

P.S. I am not supposed to be drinking. Don’t be an enabler!

The Worst Quote Ever

The easiest thing anyone can do is read this entry and dismiss what I have to say as nonsense, but what I am writing is simply the truth. I’ve heard people say, “The truth hurts!” This entry may sting a little!

There is one quote that people have held near and dear to their hearts since hunters and gatherers established their first communities.

“If you love something set it free. If it comes back to you, it’s yours for life!”

     I hate to burst your collective bubbles, but that quote is hogwash! That’s right…Pig bath! (That’s what hog wash means, right?)

I agree with the first part of the statement. If someone does not want to be with you, let the person go. There is no such thing as meant to be. If someone feels that they no longer want to be with you, or someone is not treating you the way you deserve, let them go and move on to a better relationship or the freedom of being single. You shouldn’t have to work hard to get your partner to like you; they should like you for who you are!

Under no circumstances should a person ever become a psycho and fight to keep someone in their lives. Love doesn’t exist, but if it did, it wouldn’t consist of begging. If someone cares about you and he or she wants to be with you, you should expect to be treated with respect.

“What do you mean love doesn’t exist?” Love is like religion; it’s a belief. To love means to have faith. There are no astrological signs and no “meant to be!” Those types of fantasies are fun to think about, but people have to be careful not to forget what is actually real; life is more complicated than fairy-tales. The Disney movies and Pretty Woman are not reality. Prince Charming is not going to sweep you off of your feet. (Prince charming is not out there looking for a prostitute! In fact, he doesn’t even exist! STOP LOOKING FOR HIM!)

There are two types of people. A person is either a free spirit who wants to experience many new partners, or a person is looking to be with one partner in a committed relationship. If you are a free spirit, stop involving yourself in relationships; you’ll only create a psycho. If you want to be in a committed relationship, but you find yourself fighting to get your partner to commit, end the relationship; it’s not going to happen!

Obviously, people can change, but you cannot change someone. They have to want to change for themselves. Stop fighting, it’s a losing battle. You can remain with a cheater and hope that one day he or she will stop, which can happen! But why would you risk it. Do you really expect a person to stop cheating once you have created an environment where cheating is accepted. If you continue to welcome back your partner after he or she has been unfaithful, the pattern will only continue and the behavior will get worse. (Being single is not as bad as people make it out to be!)

Don’t let some bullshit word like “love” keep you in an unhealthy relationship. Care about yourself and leave the cheater. Even if the person is not a cheater, but mistreats you, or isn’t compatible with you, leave!

The second part of the quote is what I have the most problem with.  If someone comes back after you have let them go, it’s not because of love or some fantasy ending. The person just came back! There are many reasons why people come back to old lovers. Don’t be fooled and think it has to do with real love. Don’t allow the person to mistreat you, and be wary of the person’s intentions. Always respect yourselves and expect to be treated properly.

The problem with most relationships is the fact that people focus on the potential for a great fairytale conclusion, instead of realizing that they are with the wrong partner. People will hold on to the few times in which their partner did something special expecting that the person will change and treat them special all of the time. If someone only makes you feel special on few occasions, you are with the wrong person. STOP EXPECTING THAT THINGS WILL GET BETTER! (The two of you have defined the relationship and your partner is content with how things are!) Holding on to potential is a losing battle!

Everyone expects that a past lover will return as a new and improved person, which may be the case in some rare situations, but for the most part, people are who they are. What you can truly expect is that your partner will return with NEW STDs! How fantastic is that?

Do yourselves a favor and stop looking to the sky for answers. Evaluate your situation for what it is and make a decision based on facts. You’ll avoid a ton of unnecessary bullshit!

P.S. Remember that astrology is for entertainment purposes only. If you are in a relationship and your partner knows that you follow your daily horoscope, you’re placing yourself at a great disadvantage.
Example: Girl reads horoscope. “You will be faced with a difficult challenge. Be forgiving and your love life will be strengthened.”

Guy reads the same thing, cheats on girl and asks for forgiveness!

Good Luck believing in such nonsense!
