Ehhh. I'm hung over.

I guess it wouldn't have been that easy for me to get into the good life.. went to a club dance with my lady friend; everyone was high and/or drunk, her ex-ex from another town came..

And.. for the first time in my life, I drank. Vodka, in fact. She offered it.

I just want a fricking hug.

cue victory theme!

Life is great. Could be better, but still far beyond what I've ever dreamed for.

Nothing much to report, really, except for the fact that some newfag drew some shitty memes on a whiteboard. And for some reason quite a few people know about Chanology.

Well, due to the fact that I have managed to somehow gain a social life, I haven't updated this in some time. Oh, well; it's not like there's anyone reading this.

Life.. is great.

I'm having fun, which means I don't have to be philosophical or at all smart or witty, unless you're particularly good-looking. Thus, sorry, no deep post for you today.

Well, I do have one problem. Should I grow out my hair or cut it short?

Turnaround

Well. This was unexpected. I'm not quite sure what happened, but I seem to have suddenly gathered a large amount of female friends (all disconnected; I don't mean I thrust myself into some group).

If you are a guy, and you are reading this, take note: I have found the secret to getting the ladies. No matter how deep you think they are, all women love shameless, shallow flattering.

Life is looking good!

I like this guy. Hahahah.

Hm. Lots of interesting things going on.

- I have been advised that I can "do so much better" than the girl I love, and to find someone else.
- A friend of mine is considering asking out another friend of mine. I don't really know how I feel about this..
- Another friend is planning on "hooking me up" with another friend.
- I recently deleted my tags from Facebook pictures featuring me and my ex. I'm hoping there won't be drama over that.
- BLIZZCON!

Not really all that much to say. Or, rather, BlizzCon's making me too excited to type any BAWWWW-related things.

One of those days..

Eh. I'm in that mood again where I'm feeling really emo and don't think there's really any point to my living. I'm not at all suicidal, but just.. cynical, I guess. Calculating. My life doesn't really make any impact on others but to burden them; I haven't done anything all that great and I don't even think I'm in the position to do so.

My friends are blah. I don't feel all that close to them, and I don't really know anything about them at all. Come to think of it, they all have their own little social networks, ones that I'm not a part of. Simply put, I'm extraneous. I serve no meaningful purpose.

My life kind of sucks right now. I have to either look like a jackass and be shunned by the people I like to be around, or I have to.. be quiet and completely escape their vision? I'm not all that close to anyone right now, not to the point where I can just walk up to someone and say hi without having something to actually say. I have to ask about things that I know more about, just to start a conversation, and even then, the conversation is over after the question is answered.

Also, there's this girl... and she's starting to cling to my friend, quite obviously. Which pisses me off because he doesn't even acknowledge that she's doing anything of the sort. I'm not so anti-social that I misinterpret a "Hi" and a hug as a proposal, but.. going out of the way, away from her usual friends, to sit near, and playing the piano with? Come on.

My new hobby seems to be turning on music, keeping it at full volume, and sort of napping with my head right over the speakers. It seems to help; white noise just isn't doing it for me anymore.

Oh, and my laptop's being crappy. My CD drive won't work. ):

Republicans and Christians

I don't know what prompted me to write this post; the basic ideas have been in the back of my head for a while now, but I guess the whole thing with the Vice Presidential debates (which I can't watch right now, as my laptop is being screwy and my television seems to be refusing to accept any signals) may have been the cause.

I have a huge problem with Republicans. I am not a Democrat, nor do I profess to be one, but even so I can see how phony their entire system is. Republicans seem to only want to win elections and gain power, without any regards as to the actual ability of those they endorse. Republican candidates cannot have any opinions unpopular with the Republican base; if they once had an opinion that did not coincide with other Republican policies, they would have to change those opinions (see John McCain).

Another problem I have with Republicans is that they seem so sure, at all times, that anything they believe is right, and that thus any reasoned argument with their beliefs is.. unreasonable. They seem to believe that they alone have the Truth, and that no one else does. Whether this is a by-product of the fact that much of "God's Own Party" belongs to the Evangelical Christian faith is uncertain.

Let me make one thing clear- I consider myself a Christian. In fact, to go even further, I consider myself an EVANGELICAL Christian. That's right. I'm one of them. However, a disturbing trend I've found in many churches is their opinion that simply "believing" is enough to be saved, and that such a thing cannot be debated because it is the Truth. Of course, Protestantism was created as a religion that stressed salvation by faith, not through good works, but the problem is that many Christians don't know what believing is.

Simply being able to say that you believe in one thing or another cannot possibly be enough. If you truly believe, in ANY god, the teachings of your religion should be reflected in your own life. There's no point in stressing that faith alone will save you, because through faith, good works should be a part of your life. Of course, to agnostics and atheists, it could be said that those good works are the only things good about Christianity. Unfortunately, with the Reformation, our little sect scrapped the good works and kept the faith. In other words, according to agnostics and atheists, there isn't really anything all that good about Christianity in its present form. And despite my own religious affiliation, I'd have to say I agree.

There is a word for this. It's a word that's used often by Republicans, only they use it to speak about members of the opposition. Strangely enough, it's quite evident that Republicans are the hypocrites. They cite patriotism and honor while getting into huge scandals and openly opposing things the troops would want. This may seem like a huge generalization, but this is a blog and I'm allowed to do that: Republicans don't give a shit about what's right and wrong. There is only the Truth, and anything else is a lie.
