Simple Minded People

So I frequent other people's blogs for inspiration... And I came across a blog about views on Domestic Violence. This blogger has been in a violent relationship and just basically sees after being abused for so long, your are no longer the victim, but just plain stupid. Most folks went in on her, maybe one or two people agreed. But what really bugged me the most is that there was so many double negatives in these comments it was like UGH...

What do I mean by double negatives???

So if you do not agree on someone's viewpoint, that's fine and dandy. There are ways of discussing disagree to agree. But these folks were just plain out RUDE. Have we as adults forgot how to eloquently state their dislike with a particular viewpoint and give a better suggestion?

I believe so...

What I guess bothers me the most is those who comment and are 10 times more harsh in replies to a certain topic. Yet, you follow these people and expect to always have the politically correct thought process to every subject? Well why in the hell would you follow them in the first place? I guess I'm tired of the sugar coating folks want you to give them. If you want something sweet, go to the cheesecake factory!!!

I am in various groups in Facebook and Twitter, and instead of debating, folks want to PUSH their morals down your throat. And that erks me to no freaking end. When you are blogging, you really don't have guidelines unless you are threatening to kill folks (and shit). Before I read this blog, I was discussing how people are one minded-especially in the damn United States. A lot of the conflicts in the foreign countries, debt issues, and U.S. policies would be solved if not welcomed with mutual arms if folks took the time to listen instead of abandoning ideas because its not that persons absolute!!!

I should be asleep right now, but this just bothers me to no end (hence why there are no pictures in this post). Please tell me folks, what are your pet peeves when sharing/collaborating ideas and/or thoughts to others!

FEAR.. Forgetting Everything Anyone Revised

So first off... I know I have a few people who are gonna curse me the hell out for taking so long. I apologize. For I don't have a down packed schedule of posts. And after June 13th, shits gonna be real (start of grad school-so NOT excited). Anywho, I want to cover this first because this is something I have been dealing with for all my life, and its not at a normal percentage.

I have a fear of failure... many people might say that many people have that same fear, but its so serious at times, I don't go to sleep for days. Or at least get maybe two to three hours of sleep (I don't like taking my anxiety pills). I guess its because I have seen certain members of my family become dependent on others and I vowed that I will never be that way. Which probably explains my current relationship situation stats, etc. That's for another post. Anywho, moving on...

When I was younger, I was staying at my aunts house due to some family issues. But when I seen how she became more than what her environment programmed her to be. I was inspired. I never told anyone this, but I think this is what truly lead me to go to the Navy, and to get the hell away from Milwaukee at the time. I wanted the big house, the nice luxury car prior to 40, etc. I created a "to do before God takes me out" list and the following was my top priorities:

1. Become a Cheerleader by Sophomore year of HS
2. Graduate from college
3. Join a sorority
4. Become part of the government
5. Own a luxury foreign made car prior to 30

Most of these objectives have been met, and I guess I am becoming worried that the last one (not in numerical order BTW) will not be fulfilled due to eff ups changes in the economy and my current job position. But that's besides the point. I have a chance to finish my graduate degree early (mind you, I never thought about graduate school till just recently). But I'm scared or rather have a great deal of FEAR because of what I will be giving up (MY JOB). I did this whole life changing ish before when I left the military. And I will be honest and say I am happy with my choice, but that was in 2008 and the job market was STABLE. I would have to re-locate, go somewhere close to home but so far away, make new friends, etc. Its crazy, cause if I got a job overseas or to Washington D.C. (my ultimate destination), I would act like Pookie off of Menace 2 Society and sell EVERYTHING and go ( at least I think its Menace 2 society, I'm sipping my McDonald's Strawberry Lemonade w/ 100 proof Belviedere vodka, so I might be a lil messy with grammar, memories--and shit). But its because I will be doing something totally 360°, I am scared of the unknown I suppose. I don't want to be like the typical student (no offense) that can't get a job or not smart enough to finish, etc. I never want to have to have anyone help me. Although I give no afterthought to help those around me. I guess I figure I have always been the strong one and I am not suppose to have FEAR in my life. And it couldn't be any more of the opposite. I can't go into any more specifics. But I will say, I will be out of my comfort zone. And I know I need it, I really do. BUT, the struggle, I will say, is what is scaring the shit out of me. Can you feel my pain? Not same situation, but just something that is different. Something that is of the unknown? How do you deal? Do you have folks make negative comments when you share (oh I knew I forgot something on this post)? Is there a time limit to when you should follow your dreams?
