Follow Up

     First things first, I'm no longer on a religious high. In fact, I'm a little hungover. At first, I was hesitant to follow up this blog post. Ya know? The whole courage thing. I thought I should be careful with how often I provoke deep thought to others and myself. In depth thought can be a dangerous and sensitive subject. Back to the follow up, my post religous high has been a confusing time. I can comfortably say I've been nicer and made some better decisions. But, that process has been a curse and a blessing. As I try to make myself a "better" person, I am constantly recognizing my own "flaws" while my mind runs crazy about the "flaws" of everyone else. I use the quotation marks for emphasis, but mainly for the purpose of not having a better word or phrase to describe what I am trying to say. Because, honestly, who decides what is good? God? Morality? Societal Trends? I'm not sure. I don't have many answers, only an inumerable amount of questions. Thus, I'm stuck in an awkward mind set these days. I bounce back and forth. Sometimes I take on the typical persona of a senior in high school who is concerned with exams, friends, girls, drinking beers.. and then sometimes I like to think about the big picture. That's where it gets messy. The meaning of life? The universe? Why people act certain ways (including myself)? Religion? Love? And many more. While I was proof reading this post, I realized that I used a lot of question marks. That's a pretty accurate portrayal of this blog post, just a lot of questions.
     So that segment was about me, here's the part about other people. Lately, I am constantly analyzing people's actions. And that's funny because I said I was going to write about other people and then the very next sentence was about myself. #selfcenteredproblems. Anyways, this part is intended to be a slightly humorous critique about human nature. I'm hoping many of you, under the arrogant assumption that "many" will read this, can relate.

THINGS PEOPLE DO:
1) Girls consistently use some form of "just got of the shower, you?" when responding to some form of "what's up" or "what're you doing" via text message. Girls play dumb when I've asked them about it, but they all do it.
2) Guys consistently altering stories to make it sound like they weren't very interested in a girl. (Guilty)
3) Random, but I'm going to say it. Guys, why do we say we would f*** the shit out of a girl? I understand the gist of it. But seriously.. that would be a horrific experience.
4) Tell the truth when drunk, and ignore it in the morning. (One of my personal favorites)
5) Talk badly about anyone and everyone, including friends.
6) Abuse the word love.
7) Creep on facebook.
8) Hide emotions out of fear.
9) Disappoint.
10) Stop telling a story, talk louder, or start telling it to someone else, when you realize nobody is listening. Sometimes just stop mid sentence and try to bounce back next time.
11) (This may only apply to Cincinnatians) say "the best is/was"

That's all for today. Again, you know where to find me if you're trying to life chat, vent, reflect, confront me about something I did or said to you that was unfavorable. Hit me up.
