Strangetimez

Well, it was interesting to go back and read some of my older posts, especially to see how perspectives can change so drastically, so quickly.

Short version – Ive met someone who Im definitely falling for.  She is incredible, fun, happy, spontaneous, caring, kind, sexy, cheeky, energetic (I could keep going!).  I still wake up and wonder if its real or I was dreaming… but it isnt a dream!  Its amazing, I never thought I would ever find someone who shares a connection on so many levels, and is happy to let me be completely myself.  Meeting her even changed my perspective of the world.  Things that used to bother me, just dont anymore.  Its great, and such a new feeling… I guess I feel like a high school kid with his first girlfriend

So, it seems that I have joined  one of the popular belief system of the world – that there is such a thing as true love, which apparently means I no longer live in the real world and am now as crazy as a fair chunk of the population! 

I thought I would start recording all the things I have learned about life, maybe in an effort to clear my head a bit.  Maybe as a bit of an experiment… Also a way to vent my frustrations at the world… whatever the reason, here they are.  In no particular order…

1. People are selfish and rude
2. Not everyone is selfish and rude, but most are.  A few will surprise you
3. Ignorance really is bliss
4. No matter how much you try to prepare for something, something you hadn’t thought of will almost always happen
5. People are deluded and do not live in reality
6. Living in reality sucks, and thus why people delude themselves
7. The world isnt as nice and as good as people will have you believe
8. Most people take and dont give
9. When someone strenuously objects to something, its usually because its true
10. People often project their problems onto others (Transference)
11. If you want to see the worst in people, go for a drive when traffic is busiest
12. If you want to see the best in people, look at a disaster, war, or other tragedy.  Difficulty, trouble, and adversity seems to bring people together.
13. People like drama and trouble, and thats why ‘Reality TV’ is popular
14. There is no one path in life, everyone has their own, and some are easier than others
15. Dont judge someone too quickly, but trust your instincts
16. People love to talk about themselves, and don’t want to hear about you very often
17. If you are nice to others, and helpful, you will get used by most people
18. Women are selfish, ambiguous, confusing, have no idea of their emotions
19. Complimenting people just makes them arrogant and self centered, and you will not be appreciated or respected for it.  You will just get used.
20. Everyone lies, even to those that may matter.
21. The few who do not lie do not get respected for it
22. People mostly only care about themselves.  If they care about someone else, its only usually only to pad their own ego
23. Love makes you vulnerable and weak, and you will be exploited for it, or it will be thrown in your face

Despite them being great musicians, Metallica sucks when it comes to supporting its fans.  Lars has just proved it by being the biggest hypocrite on the planet.  He decided that if anyone had a right to pirate Metallica’s music, it was him.  Moron.  He doesn’t own his music, the recording label does (Warner Bros.).

Don’t forget that Metallica was probably behind the first major court case around pirated music when they sued Napster, and created the avalance of law suits that followed.  Now he has to add his own name to the list of pirates that should be taken to court, especially for publically admitting it!

This is very funny…  Napster BAD!

This is really funny… Ian sent it to me the other day!

Benny just put me on to this:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTihsJQHt48

Its a remix of this rant that Christian Bale spewed out during the filming of Terminator 4.  I kinda think he was justified in being mad, but maybe not quite that much!

Benny put me on to a few funny people / things on youtube!

Firstly, I kinda dismissed Tom Green as a bit of a douche bag but apparently he is a top skater, AND it seems he can rap like a mutha fucka!  He Ownz Xzibit in an impromtu rap comp.

Another really funny guy is Jon La Joie.  You have to watch his YouTube videos, partuicularly “Show Me Your Genitals“, “Everyday Normal Guy“, and “Rapist Glasses”

You also have to check out the Extreme Sheep Herding… very well done

Oh – if you want to save youtube videos, just paste their link in to this site (SaveTube.com) which will give you a download link.  You will need to use something like Media Player Classic to watch it though.

Aahhh… this is an excellent example of a valid XML statement
