** wrote this a week ago, not sure why I did not post it, emotions was running away with me then **
I see most bloggers do a 7 (or 10 or 4 or 3) things about them you would not know. Truthfully, I rarely care. I have a problem with this all “self-promotion”. So here are 8 things, that either bother me, or are about me, some of which you might already know. I’m also linking some, what I think is, great videos on the topic.
*Spoiler Alert* this will be a moan and groan post. Its been a crappy week and a specially sad and disturbing day.
#1 Women
Why do women read, follow truly lame ass advice? I’m so lucky, to have grown up with extremely strong and loving women in my life, family and friends. Here’s a tip girls, no man is ever good enough to pine after, to run after, or to have you heart broken. Stop it. You’re worth much more. So, grow up, move on, be successful and for all that is holy and unholy, be yourself.
#2 Men
Grow a pair. Really. Stop the rape jokes. Stop the homophobia. Stop being a dick.
#3 Atheism
I’m an atheist, some people need to deal with it. Don’t try and convert me, or pray for me, or damn me to your hell (its your hell, you burn in it). I don’t hate god, I don’t believe in him, therefore I can’t hate him. I grew up with the best parents and sister a guy would want, so its not a spiteful rebellion. I have no problems with the people that believe in superstitious nonsense, I do have a problem with the superstitious nonsense. It hurts people. Even when you don’t think so, it breeds ignorance and hate.
Here’s a thought, instead of thanking god for saving a persons life, rather thank the doctor. This also goes for UFOs, star signs and pseudo-fucking-science. Lets all grow up.
#4 South Africa
I love the people of our country and yes, its beautiful, but lets be honest, its not some kind of holy land! We have a corrupt government, corrupt cops, we condone racism, sexism, homophobia. And we laugh about it? What the hell is wrong with us?
#5 Journalists
Love you guys. Keep fighting the good fight, and expose corruption, honour those that do good. I’ve got your back.
#6 Cancer
Fuck FUCK cancer. Sounds so useless. Like HIV/Aids, get yourself tested, guys and girls. Its never to early. Science is making huge strides in early detection, the earlier you know, the better your chances are. Do it.
#7 Work
I am my work. I am my job. And I hate it. I really really do. I need to refocus, or start over, or do something. Not next year, NOW. (and I am…)
#8 Bonus Item!
CARL SAGAN!
Well, that’s 8 things, its more a rant I needed to do, and its done. There is more to be said, but not now. Today I’ve received three pieces of information that made me terrible angry, sad, shocked. Two of those affected people I love so much, and I feel helpless. Some things, we can’t fight. There is nothing to fight. We need to let go. No more regrets.
