Listening to: Fear Factory- Cars
I noticed that I don't write in here all that often anymore. I think it has something to do with the fact that most of my ideas of what to write about come from society, and society usually pisses me off. Hence I try to distance myself from most things mainstream as much as I can. Tonight however, I watched a bit of something that should have never been: Dr. Phil during primetime tv.
It's not enough for that goof to poison our minds every weekday from 3-4, but nooooo he has to poison our primetime minds too! Primetime is for the masses to be entertained (that doesn't include me tho, I almost never watch primetime because I have standards. Yes that means the masses as a whole are stupid.)
On this particular episode, MR. Phil was running his own little boot camp for women who had had their husbands leave them. One exercise for them involved them closing their eyes and putting their heads down on the seats of their chairs. He told them to then call up and bring back all the rage and anger that their husbands had caused them and then on his signal, to go apeshit on the chairs. I could not make this stuff up. And me, being the ever sensitive guy that I am, couldn't help but think of the young kids in Honduras who finally got to see one of their products on national tv, only to see it get destroyed by a bunch of unattractive menopausal women being led by a tyrant of a man.
This I say ladies and gentlemen, is enough. Write up your local tv station and demand that they remove this beast from the airwaves before he goes after Poland. That's right I'm comparing Dr. Phil to Hitler. I DARE YOU TO ARGUE WITH IT. (Thank you Paul F. Tompkins, genius)
On an unrelated topic, I recently had this thought cross my mind. When you're breaking up with your boyfriend/girlfriend, do you really owe them a break-up that's good for both of you? It's been said that it's selfish to do it over the phone or with a letter, or when someone is drunk or something like that, but to that I offer this counterpoint: if you're fed up to the point that you just wanna get out, then do you really need to care how it ends? Should you owe them anything, or should you go out of your way to make it as easy on them as you can? Leave comments and let's see what we can get going here shall we? Any and all comments are welcome on the matter.

I think the that if you're in a relationship with someone, depending on how long you were together, you kind of owe them a bit of respect by doing it in person. The person (ideally) put their heart into the relationship, and every heart should be handled with great care... and it's just a matter of common courtesy.
But ya know, like it really matters, eh?
soo, youu live in winnipeg? i'm guessing that it's somewhere in canda? i think i went to calgaryy a few years back. or edmonton. or somewhere in canda. i just remember seeing big mountains with snow and moose and stuff. hehe. XD

As for break-ups. I say let the shit hit the fan. Trying to be civilized doesnt fucking work. I'd know.
Anywho, lurv you!

lol. i love the not trusting religious people thing. who know's? i know a whole bunch of people who do stupid shit and blame god for making them.
weird, huh?
♥verena
so. enough of me rambling.
what do youu believe?
♥verena
someone shoot me.
i'm a catholic who doesn't believe in god.
well, i can't exactlyy change religions because myy parents are veryy devoted and think that i should believe whatever they believe. [which is bullshit. if youu ask me. i mean, it is MYY freaking religion. hehe.]
it's funnyy that youu should ask. (=
i was actuallyy baptised catholic. but as a kid, i got in verryy much trouble for standing up and telling myy entire bible studyy class that the bible stories were "reallyy good fairytales." i dunno. i just always thought it was weird that things always happened by coincidence in the bible.
i swear, it's almost like we are chess pieces to someone up there. someone looking down at us human beings and thinking about how dumb we are and such.
wow. that's onlyy one of the manyy conspiracies that i think up when sitting down on a cold wooden church pew when i should be listening/absorbing everything some old guyy is saying.
bleh. i think i mayy be a bad influence. oh well.

as for the breaking up, i don't know if you've ever been dumped, but it's much better in person than it is over the phone, or msn, or to worst, to get your friend to do it over e-mail.
it isn't pleasant. so;; it's just being compassionate when you end things nicely.
happyy thanksgiving!
I heart you KL. :P

In fact I'm appalled. It's not about how bad it hurts someone. It will hurt the same no matter how it's handled. It's about respect... to not be able to break up with someone seriously and in person is a cowardly thing to do. It's just plain wrong, ask anyone.
Besides, if the person breaking it up wants to break up, how does doing it in person make it harder for them? It shouldn't.
THANK YOU.
Kyle, you know you must be a woman, because you are wayy too intelligent to be a man.
If the relationship is at the point where a breakup is considered... you don't owe them anything. You owe it to yourself to get out with the least emotional disturbance possible.
