Child, you'd best learn to assume responsibility.
The world does not,
Will not
Bend to your every whim.
You will not get everything that you want,
Will want,
And ever wanted.

Things will not be done for you.

You must learn that it is not others that should be taking the blame for your faults.

You must stop acting like the world owes you everything.

The world owes you nothing.

If anything,
You owe the world
Your life.

You came in to this world and the world provided
But the world can just as easily take you away.

Appreciate what you have instead of taking advantage of it.
Appreciate who you have instead of taking advantage of them.

Be kind to others
You won't have anyone if you stay as you are.

Don't expect people to help you.
Don't expect people to do things for you.
Don't expect.

You will be disappointed.

The world will not care.

I hope you learn something when you leave for school.
I don't just mean your classes, but life lessons too.
Why?
Because if you don't,
You will have a very miserable and lonely life.

Good luck.

You will need it.

Hello, everyone!

I apologize for my lack of posts throughout the school year.  As you may have noticed by my previous post, I did intend to post something.  Unfortunately, something must have come up for me to have left a post like that hanging.  Normally, I would have ranted until I've said all I had to say instead of leaving it there.

Anyway, I am back.  I am back from school for the summer, I am back at work, I am back to looking for more or better work, and I am looking for time to relax.  In the meantime, I will be trying to set up a mini series on my blog similar to what my boyfriend has done.  I will be starting "An Introduction to Your Own Existential Crisis" series.  I don't expect it to be too long or short and there will likely be some other posts in between so we will not be losing the flavour that this blog already has.

I'm sorry for the lull.  But, I am back to do more and say more.  So let's get this ball rolling again, shall we?

I appreciate all of you who have waited for my posts.  I will definitely be setting up some more to come.

Ciao for now,
Dusk

So, it seems I've written this back at the end of February.  It is quite a bit late and I do still think that the situation is ridiculous.  As it has been four months, I do forget what I was intending to write next, but it does not take away from how strongly I feel about the subject.

All right, guys.  I'm going to get a little bit ranty today.

So, an acquaintance of mine recently commented on a post on Facebook about this article.  I suggest that you read it before we move on.
http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/borowitzreport/2014/02/arizona-confronting-awkward-realization-that-gay-people-have-money-buy-stuff.html

Now that you've read it, all I can say is that I don't understand how anyone can possibly be so dense as to not think that gay people do not buy things.  Even more so, the argument "they didn't tell us" is such a poor argument that I don't even need to explain it.  It's so juvenile. 

Gay people are just as human as straight people, bisexual people, trans* people, and what have you.

So, I was listening to Fall Out Boy's "The Mighty Fall" and I thought that Pat Stump's enunciation got better with this new album of theirs.  Until he sang, "So I'll lock you up inside/And swallow/Swallow the key."  When I heard that, I ended up hearing it as "Swallow the cheese."  Told my boyfriend, and...well...all I can say is, all Hell broke loose.

Me: NO!  DON'T LET HIM SWALLOW THE CHEESE!  WE NEED THAT CHEESE!  ALSO!  HE'S LACTOSE INTOLERANT!  WE WILL DIE OF HIS STENCH IN THIS CAR!

Boyfriend: WHAT IF HE KNOWS LACTOKINESIS?!

Me:  NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!  Well...if he knows it, I don't think he'd really care because no one is threatening to kill him with this cheese unless he wants to commit suicide.

-sudden realization hits me-

Me: WHAT IF THEY'RE TRYING TO GET INFORMATION OUT OF HIM AND HE'S DOING IT TO COMMIT SUICIDE?!...why would they even provide an out or a weapon for him though?  Unless...unless they didn't know and they had it in a sandwich or on pizza and he lactokinesisized it to his mouth so he could eat it and kill himself.

At this point, I think my boyfriend just got really entertained with my freaking out and serious consideration of the situation. 

I've decided that I really need to write more when I'm tired because I come up with the best things and I give thought to some of the strangest things and situations that it's almost ridiculous and amazing at the same time.

Hope you all enjoyed my little update on my crazy mind.  Also, if you don't know what lactokinesis is, you definitely must watch "Misfits."

Until next time!

Hi, Guys!

So, I had a three hour class tonight and had a cappuccino before it.  I guess I finished it just in time for the caffeine to hit my very exhausted body and mind just before class started.  Ended up freaking out all over Facebook about it because I couldn't find any other way to let all my energy out. 

The best part of this is that I had bought my friend a brownie and she came in with a hot chocolate.  So we had a nice hyper kid next to a nice little caffeine high kid.  We tried so hard not to burst out giggling in the middle of class. 

Surprisingly, the sugar and caffeine lasted us for the entire three hours.  So, we went looking for a Wal-Mart afterwards because she needed to pick something up, but we ended up wandering for a bit because we got lost.  But, it wasn't too bad.  We actually found our way eventually.

I probably should have written this while I was still buzzing with energy, but you know what, maybe next time. =P

See you around guys, I really ought to get to bed.

Good night, all!

Hi guys!

So, I was just remembering a time that I was in the back of the car with my sister and she got really bored and this happened:

Sister: I'm bored.  Let's start an argument!  You wear a lot of black.

Me: I know.

-Parents laughing like mad in the front seats because that was not how my sister planned it at all-

Hey, Guys!

I know, it's been a real long time since I last posted.  I'm sorry about that.  Work and everything kind of got in the way of blogging.  I'm still not sure how all those bloggers out there do it.  It's a bit of a challenge, but it's interesting.

So, I'm finishing my first week of school today.  Classes look good so far.  I am still trying to figure out what I want to do when I'm done.  Maybe I'll leave here and do a business degree somewhere.  Try and start up that coffee shop that I've always wanted or a book store...or both.  Maybe I'll just work at a Chapters or Indigo that's linked with a Starbucks.  Maybe I'll just start there.  We'll see.

It'd be pretty awesome if I could have my own bookstore and coffee shop together.

We'll see how it goes.

Anyway, I'd better get ready to head to class.  I'll talk to you all another time.

Hope you have an awesome day!
Dusk
