So, today is Christmas and I happen to be in a pretty foul mood, so here are my current thoughts:
I hate:
1. Bullshit, any way, shape or form. Bullshit is fucked up. Don't bullshit me about anything, no matter how big or small. I'm a straight shooter and everyone else should be the same! If you can't deal with people in a straight forward manner, crawl yourself under a rock....
2. Games of any type. This kinda goes back to number one. Just be straight, with everyone, all the time. It's just easier to be honest. There's so much less that you have to remember.......
3. People who think I was born fucking yesterday. Please don't try to be sly or sneaky or think you are pulling the wool over my eyes. It just aint happening. I've been around the block a few times, and no, I do not have ANY blonde hair under my black hair. PROMISE......
4. People who have me around or hang with me when they need something. Company, conversation, money, food, a place to stay, a babysitter, whatever...... Don't call me out of the blue because no one else is home, or you are bored. I'm definitely not your foul weather friend.
5. People who lie right to my face. I mean, come on, over the phone, over the text messaging, you may be able to pull that off. But, please don't stand in front of me and think you can lie to me and I'm not gonna get the vibe immediately. My instincts are amazingly tuned, and I'm gonna call you on it. You can give me a bullshit answer, or say that I'm wrong, but sooner or later it all comes out.
6. Impersonal gestures. I keep my friends few, and close. I don't have lots and lots of friends. I only have a handful of people that I let get close to me. If you are my friend, I'm gonna go out of my way for you. I will be there for you thick or thin. I'm not gonna throw any impersonal gestures at these people in my life. If you are important enough to be that close to me, to be called my friend, what you get from me is going to be genuine, heartfelt, and thought out. That's just me. Don't try to win me over with impersonal shit. Not gonna happen.
7. O.K. now, if you are guilty of this shit, PLEASE STOP!! When you call someone's cell phone and they are on the other line, it does this weird little ring-beep thing, SO YOU KNOW THE PERSON YOU ARE CALLING IS ON THE OTHER LINE. If you are on the phone, and it is of utmost importance, cool, ignore the call. But, if you are on the phone and your other line is ringing and the current call is not life or death, ANSWER THE OTHER LINE. It makes the person on the other line feel that much more unimportant to know that you are talking to someone but don't want to talk to them. Phone etiquette is not that difficult, is it?
8. And, finally, what is bothering me most today is this. If you have people in your life and they are important to you, TELL THEM. Tell them often. It kinda bothers me that people pull out the "I love yous", and the "I really care about you", and the "we need to get together more" on the fucking holidays. Come on, don't wait for Thanksgiving or Christmas to tell the people you love that you love them. If you're not comfortable telling your friends you love them, then tell them that they fucking rock, and that you are glad they are your friend. I mean, find the words that work for you, and spit them out.
Life is seriously too short to bullshit people, to play games, to sneak around, to take people for granted, to lie, to blatently ignore, and to keep your feelings packed up on the inside.
IT'S TOO SHORT PEOPLE, SO WISE THE FUCK UP!!!!!

This fucking shit happened to me tonight. I went out of my way for my best friend for christmas because last year I was burying my grandfather and wasn't in a "holiday" mood. So this year I thought out long and hard what I wanted to get for peeps.
What did it get me? A fucking bubble bathset and make -up brushes. Too bad I dont take baths ( I use the shower) and I hate make-up except for special occasions and going out. It isn't that I spent over $60. dollars on the little shit it was that the gift was so fucking impersonal. I'm not materialistic. I'm hurt.

You don't seem like the kind of person that needs validation from me, but you should know that those are some pretty cute pics you've posted. Ever thought about submitting to the site?
What are you doing in Albuquerque? I mean, this isn't the epicenter for all things productive and cool... You know? What am I doing in Albuquerque? Hell if I know.
