i think i've lost myself
do you guys know what that's like? i miss myself i feel like i've lost who i am in trying to do school i feel like i've neglected so many things over time so many aspects of myself seem to have fallen by the wayside how can i put it.. i feel like i used to live but lately i feel like i merely exist.. going from homework assignment to homework assignment, i feel like i became a mindless, mechanical version of myself.. like my whole existence for a while has been to get A's on assignments i want to be a dynamic person again. i want to get back to a place where i like myself i want my heart to come back.. i want to be alive again i want to go out of town, i want to put my head on a girl's chest and listen to her heartbeat, i want to sit outside at night and look at the sky, i want to drive around just to listen to music again i want to feel strong again this is about how dating sites have new moms and pregnant women on them all the time and how stupid this is.. this should be prevented you should not be a 20yr old single mom with newborn twins on a dating site.. you should not be in that situation was your "relationship" purely sexual? like how did it dissolve so fast!? whatever happened to getting married prior to having sex? commitment first, then the physical aspect dinner then dessert.. hard concept? we need to do better with leading and guiding because this stuff is not cool and its not a game we need a strong societal injection of real values this is not important at all imo.. its just what i wanted to say after seeing an episode of love and hip hop i don't even like that show i DO like joe budden and tahiry though.. i think their relationship is interesting to an extent anyway peep if u wish this is one of the dumbest comments i've ever seen on youtube someone left this comment under a video game trailer what bothers me about comments like this is the narrow view.. i hate how feminist type people never see the other side of things
they always say they are so oppressed or discriminated against when there is an OBVIOUS other side.. what about men? every video game hero is a brave alpha male with 6-pack abs do u see men complaining about this? do u see men walking around saying things like "this game is creating unrealistic expectations of what its like to be a male" its stuff like this that irritates me like crazy because its such a one-dimensional view like seriously, if you decided to sit down and create a character for an action oriented game or comic, you're generally not going to say "let me draw a pudgy balding man as my main hero" or "let me draw a severely flat-chested girl" like wtf do people expect? like i'm sorry but everything is not a f*cking conspiracy against women anyway here's the comment i left in response these are my thoughts on the rick ross rape line controversy
if u don't know what happened, he apparently said this in a song and it caused him to lose his reebok endorsement deal "slipped molly (ecstasy) in her drink and she ain't even know it/ took her home and enjoyed that, and she ain't even know it/" i personally think the rap was humorous, not that i condone it- it's humorous because it's an absurd and/or triflin' thing to do anyway, i left some comments on youtube about the whole thing, here's what i said: this documentary echoes my sentiments on school.. it explains a lot that i was unable to put into words in high school so it validates a lot of my thoughts and theories and experiences.. btw this also relates to college start this at 2minutes, 37 seconds.. trust me the intro is 100% worthless i get tired of people and their nonsense
someone calls me and is extremely nice to me then they ask me to do them a favor someone calls me and says something so moronic that i find myself astounded being reclusive has its advantages i just saw "true life: i have a high maintenance girlfriend"
ok this was an insane episode.. if you want to watch it, it's available on mtv.com i was amazed these guys were putting up with all the crap they were putting up with don't get me wrong, i know what its like to love someone to a point where you kinda let them take advantage of you a little bit but these guys were taking it to a place of ridiculous proportions http://www.mtv.com/videos/true-life-i-have-a-high-maintenance-girlfriend/1703102/playlist.jhtml#series=2211&seriesId=5232&channelId=1 ^here's the link anyway, check out that episode if you get a chance, ESPECIALLY if you're a guy because it's a real eye-opener one thing i want to say real quick
i don't believe in pride i've never really realized it until now, but basically- i don't believe in pride pride is very dumb in my opinion in a lot of ways look at eugenics for example.. notions of racial superiority.. why do they continue to pervade our societies today? pride.. people LIKE to think they are better than others so they continue to teach that bs i'm not saying every racist is a broke-ass loser, but a lot of those extremely racist people are losers and so that's why they love racism.. because it gives them a belief that they have value or superiority i've noticed a lot of people just don't see the downsides or absurd beliefs that come with pride in general another example would be when a person achieves a lot and becomes proud.. but there are so many people who have helped them to achieve whatever it is they have accomplished.. people talk about pulling themselves up by the boot straps but the Bible says God gives us the power to obtain wealth any person who is standing on a mountain top beating their chest really needs to sit down because they could've been aborted, they could've been born with a debilitating disease, they could've been born in a third-world country, the list goes on.. the fact is God has blessed you and had a lot of mercy on you to allow you to have some measure of success i've noticed recently that this is one area where i differ from a lot of people in beliefs.. a lot of times i can't relate to people in certain conversations and this is why.. because I DONT BUY INTO PRIDE sometimes people say things that don't make sense to me like "don't you want to show off your (insert whatever thing here)?" i'm like "no" and then we have an odd conversation where we just don't see eye to eye i now realize its because i just don't buy into all the hype.. i'm not into self adulation.. parading things around i think a lot of that stuff is superficial nonsense.. i'll give u an example of what i mean u've probably seen this happen before.. say you know a woman who is down to earth.. then one day she meets a great catch type of guy who has a high status and makes a lot of money he proposes to her and gives her a ring and now every time you see her she is showing off her new ring and she isn't down to earth anymore.. she now has an aire of superiority and you don't even feel comfortable around her anymore she doesn't greet you warmly anymore, she doesn't give eye contact anymore, she makes snide remarks, she makes you feel small now my take on her? i'm sorry but she is on that bullsh*t she needs to just stay humble because last time i checked divorce stats in america they were pretty damn high i've been like this for a long time.. i even remember having a conversation with my friend when i was like 14 and we got on the subject of success and i started to sense he was equating it with superiority.. so i said to him "yeah you might have more money but that doesn't make you better than anyone else" and i remember he said "i beg to differ" so that just told me that he bought into that sort of thought process but i think that way of viewing is a huge fallacy i'm not even proud to be "black".. every skin color is just as valid as the next.. i can never understand why people say they are proud to be a skin color.. its a physical trait.. you never hear people say "i'm proud to have attached earlobes" or "i'm proud to be a human" like wtf does "i'm proud to be white" or "i'm proud to be black" even mean!? especially when races are man-made categories placed on people anyway, after all that- u might be wondering.. ok james.. what do u believe in then? i believe in gratitude i believe in being thankful for what God has done in your life, i also believe in thanking those around you who have helped you to achieve when it comes to pride.. that ish is just nonsense don't be out here tooting your own horn and smelling yourself because if you actually start to believe your own hype you will be in for a rude awakening God is good to us and He is the reason why any of us have anything good that we have i think its ok to be grateful, i even think its ok to be pleased with whatever you've accomplished, but when you start to become prideful and you begin to feel superior to others, you are in delusion's territory |
