its tough for me to figure out how to say everything ive felt about people in the world over the past few months without sounding incoherent and directionless but im going to do my best.
one thing ive learned lately, regardless of how depressing this sounds, i really believe that there are good people out in the world, they're just really tough to find sometimes.
in general people are an awful, wretched species and it's sad that we run the fucking world. this country just seeps with arrogance from all angles and it really bothers me. race is an issue ive always tried to side-step, but, being a country boy, i group up around racism, its how the world works. is it sad? yes it is. but i still firmly believe that there are both good people and scum bags in each race. but why do the people who are the scum bags, especially in minority groups, not give a fuck about the image they're presenting? if you're race is already looked down upon in society, why not work a little harder to try and better that image? why dont people care? people are fine nowadays just slipping into a stereotype and living out their life there. i mean...have some fucking self respect, just cause its expected of you to be ignorant, doesn't mean you have to parade your ignorance around. obama supporters were the perfect example of this, in all cultures, white black green yellow. they sucked his dick. he was jesus during the election. and half of his supporters didnt know a single one of his policies. so when he gets elected people run around like lunatics celebrating how great a day this is. so i stop some of them and ask them about his policies. they dont know. shocking. but then i get mad at them and tell them to act like civilized people. and im told to 'fuck off.' nicely done. way to just slip into a stereotype and be ok with that.
people are just too okay with mediocrity these days. they see it everywhere so why should they expect anything better from themselves? i dont understand it.
people are greedy, arrogant, often times ignorant fucks and it grows harder for me each day to deal with most people. but there are good people in the world. there really is. it doesn't take much to bring a smile to my face either, if somebody holds a door for me when im a few yards from the door on a cold day im thrilled. if i see somebody stop and help somebody pick up a paper or a book they dropped, i think its great. what really made me happy came at the expense of an asshole the other day, which is too bad. a lady 'fell' in the parking lot of home depot the other day and cut her head open. she was parked in a handicapped spot but had no visible handicapp whatsoever which pisses me off so much every time i see it. so shes sitting in the office talking about her head is spinning and blah blah blah, and in walks this guy 'hey im a volunteer medic, somebody's hurt?' the manager asks 'were you called? do you have the truck?' 'no, i just heard so i came right over.' fucking go that guy. good for him. he didnt need to be there, nobody asked him, he volunteered. and thats really great. there needs to be more people who give a fuck and there needs to be more people who work to better this world.
now im going to talk about smoking here for a second. im not going to lecture or anything, but cigarettes to me....blow my fucking mind. i know its close minded to say i think most people who smoke cigarettes are assholes but i think a lot of them are. the difference between the assholes and the 'casual smokers' or the normal good-hearted people who smoke is pretty simple. i think if you're old and smoke then you have the potential to be a great person cause when you started you didnt know better. and if you casually smoke then that's fine too, but people who are addicted to it and do it all the time....fuck you.
theres a few people, one guy im thinking of right now in particular, who are ALWAYS outside of my dorm smoking, they're there litterally 8 out of 10 times i walk in. regardless of the weather. it could be a negative degree day and there they are. is it worth it? you know you're polluting your body, so why not say 'hey the weather sucks, i dont need a cigarette right now, its good for me anyways' have some self respect?! but this one guy...oh this one fucking guy....every time, hes wearing the smae thing, sabres sweatshirt and shorts, again regardless of the weather. and pink headphones like hes trying to make a point. and he always stares at you when you walk in, and always has this grimmace on his face like hes fucking pissed off. the kind of guy who probably thinks he looks cool smoking. i just want to punch him sometimes, dont fuckign stare at me, i dont want you to attract attention to yourself.
it just pisses me off, i wish there werent so many assholes.

First of all, do you realize that you're acting like even more of an asshole than the people you're criticizing? You're judging others on the sole fact that they smoke, something that has virtually no effect on your life. You have no business telling other people what they should or shouldn't put into their bodies, and your assumption that people who are addicted to cigarettes are assholes makes you a stereotyping bigot.

Are you fucking kidding me? You're trying to make a connection between someone's smoking habits and his/her personality? It's been widely known since at least the 60's that cigs are unhealthy, so should we automatically discredit every smoker under the age of 50?
I don't even smoke, but your argument is just absurd.
