Today's Theme For The Day:

"I've just had an apostrophe."-Smee
"I think you mean an epiphany."-Cpt. Hook
"Lightning... has just struck my brain."-Smee
"Well that must have hurt."-Cpt. Hook
(From "Hook" w/ Dustin Hoffman)

WHY DOESN'T ANYONE BELIEVE ME?????? I tell them something, then what the outcome will be, they call me stubborn or unwilling to listen, don't believe me, and then end up PROVING ME RIGHT. The outcome: complete abandonment. 'No no, I'd never do that, you're just this, you're just that, blah blah blah.' Then what do they do? ABANDON ME. I mean, really. If they're so bent on being right, they could at least give me a good reason as to why I'm wrong, and not do things to PROVE ME RIGHT.

You think I'm unwilling to listen, but I say YOU are the ones unwilling to listen. You can't preach about something you don't understand--something that's not in your heart. So before you start passing judgment and preaching to me, then you better darn well know what you're talking about. And you can't do that as long as you stay BITTER AND CLOSE MINDED.

I hear every word you say, no matter WHAT you think. But do YOU hear ME? I don't think so. Not really. Not truly. The words may go in, but then they go right back out. You don't know who or what I am, why I am, where I'm going or when. So don't try to feed me your assumptions, your theories, or your petty arguments as though you know me better than I know myself. Because as long as you refuse to LISTEN TO ME, you will NEVER know me. Ever. And that's something I CAN'T help you with.

You can't fix the course of nature with human technology. Why? Because nature is the one that should be fixing human creation.

Not everyone applies to that last post I made, in case there was any confusion among you. I don't want to cause any strife between myself and any innocent party. Sometimes you just need to vent, and a journal is provided for that exact reason, am I right? I wanted to be sure that was made clear.

Maybe I should think about going to private mode or something so that I can continue to vent when needed without getting mauled by those who would take my ramblings as direct blows to themselves or their actions. A lot of the time I talk about a specific person, I just don't have the guts to post their name for all the world to see. Unfortunately, I seem to attract the sort of person that would immediately assume I'm talking about them every time, and not consider the possibility I mean someone else. I don't want that happening, because it would be much too traumatic to hurt someone who didn't deserve it.

So I've begun to set goals. Whether or no I meet them is yet to be seen, but they will keep me from exploring those deep dark corners of the mind and heart, and also keep me from getting too involved with a particular set of acquaintances. This, I believe, will be to the betterment of everyone involved.

Or maybe not.

Life is a mystery, governed only by your willingness to commit.
