I do not understand people sometimes.  I run around on certain art sites pretty often and sometimes when I’m bored I’ll just randomly browse galleries.  I find a spiffy icon that attracts my attention I’ll click it.  Well I did just that the other day and found a really cute photo sitting in someone’s gallery so I left them a comment.  Nothing negative I was complimenting it even, and they replied interrogating me.  How did I find them, why did I comment?  I told them I saw their icon on someone’s page and clicked, and then they asked who’s page and what comment it was they left that I found them through.  Am I supposed to remember?  I just don’t get it, I just gave them a nice compliment, and then get interogated. 

Then talking to a guy on msn a few days ago he said he broke up with a girl and that he needed to find a new one to make himself feel better, and that she didn’t have to be amazing just any girl would do…  Excuse me?  You need a girl so you can feel better about yourself, and to rub it in the face of your ex.  What is up with teens today thinking they need someone?  It’s like they wear their bf or gf as a badge or something.  If you are going to be with someone do it for the right reasons, because you love them with all your heart for who they are and not what they are.  You love them no matter what, through the good and the bad, and yes there will always be bad because no one is perfect.  You don’t hook up with someone just because they are hot, or you need to boost your self esteem, or because you pity them, or you just want to fit in with the social norm.  Today I see it as people just abuse the word love.  Someone takes one glance at another person and immediatly says they love them.  How?  You don’t know their personality.  Oh yes… that would be lust, not love.

Last thing I am touching on now is something that happened in New York.  Most have probably heard about it but for those who haven’t, a Wal-Mart worker was trampled to death by stampeding greedy customers.  This was of course on the dreaded “Black Friday”.  A day I will never go out shopping on.  Anyways, what happened to the times when things didn’t make the holidays?  I’ve lost my Christmas spirit.  I had it as a kid but something happened, I’m not sure what, and it just kind of died.  And being bombarded by Christmas ads and displays starting in mid October doesn’t help.  Christmas has been so commercialized it’s not funny.  I want my old Christmases back, the times when I felt like it was a really special season.  It made me feel warm and fuzzy inside and it was magical.  Maybe those are days of the past, days of my childhood I’ll never see again, but I sure do miss those days…
