Complacency is the Enemy

Before we start getting into it, you may have noticed I went back to my old style with green replacing maroon. I just wasn’t digging the blue/brown motif. I still can’t get that damn title centered. I will have to enlist some help. *sigh* I always hate giving up.

I have been sort of restless recently, not satisfied with my life and being drove virtually crazy. Some may suggest I might want to change my outlook, but in reality this is how I hope I am in 5, 10, 20 years from now. It is feelings like this which inspire change. It drives me to do better. It motivates me to try to make my life better, fix what’s wrong and if it can’t be fixed figure why; then change the rules so I can. I have been satisfied before. I became stagnant, uninteresting, and boring. I was perfectly happy. I hated it. Something inside told me I hated it, but I was too blinded by everything going on to realize it. I look back and am absolutely disgusted with myself. I can’t believe I let myself be that way. I never want to fall prey to that again. I am on a constant quest to to better myself. Learn something new, invent something, figure something out, solve a problem, something so at the end of the day I can feel I have accomplished something; something so that I’m not just another leech on this whole human existence. The American dream of a wife, house in the suburbs, white picket fence, and 2.5 kids is my ultimate nightmare. If I end up that way I will consider myself a failure. It is not my idea of success. Change is the only constant, so accept it and use it to your advantage. Memories are nice, but don’t let them control you. You have a life to live, so don’t get hung up in the daily grind and go do something.

First Love

I was having a discussion about love in general today and my opinion on love. You know the old adage you never love like your first. I really believe there is some truth in that; so much in fact that I believe in it one step further. This is my personal philosophy. Your first love is always your best, but your first love changes with time. Say the time your 15, you fall in love. Well, what you think is love. Love changes with time, and maybe you weren’t really in love. Then you fall in love again, for the first time, because the definition isn’t the same. I propose your last love is your first because you grow and mature and your outlook on love becomes something different completely. That’s my stance. It might seem weird, but it makes sense to me. Love is pretty amazing; it sort of makes life worth living. I’m such a hopeless romantic. Sigh.

Who doesn’t love a good game?

You know one thing I can’t stand? Dating games. Why people are allowed to get away with this really escapes me. I am pretty sure this can’t be ingrained in our DNA. I mean cavemen didn’t have time to worry about if he should call his new gal pal two days after his date or one. He was way to busy fighting the dinosaurs to worry about that. I mean if you like someone you shouldn’t have to follow some protocol that says you can’t possibly show affection for this person for x amount of days. Call me old-fashioned, but when I have feelings for someone I tend to want to be able to do something about it. Aside from ridiculously stupid games, I’m not too fond of the friend test. You have to know what I am talking about. The girl wants you to meet her friends to see if you pass their approval. First, I am not dating your friends no matter how many Spice Girl’s songs tell you otherwise. Second, what if your friends suck? You are not your friends, and if you are, count me out. Dating as a whole is a fairly tedious process. Isn’t this the future yet? Shouldn’t there be some computer to find my perfect match? But then again if there was some computer that would just take all the “sport” out of it, wouldn’t it?
