Jared writes on my dry erase board outside my room, "I want to talk to you about Jesus" as a joke. Just to be his goofy self. I write underneath "He was a pretty cool dude I bet". Girl comes by and erases the part Jared wrote. I ask her why, and she says, "Because I didn't care for it."
So, here was my question to her:
"How is what Jared wrote offensive?" The best part is, she didn't even have an answer. And I'll tell you why. Because IT'S NOT. After I pointed this out, and started to get agitated by her lack of ability to justify her own actions, she said something like "No, Zach, I know that you didn't mean it like that, and I know how you intended it. I know what you believe." She repeated this line even after I told her that she knows nothing about me, and that I DIDN'T WRITE IT.
Here's where I rant.
I don't care how religious you are, I respect it. I don't care if you're a Christian, Jew, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu, Mormon, Wiccan, WHATEVER. I will respect your beliefs with absolutely no problem if you are NOT IMPOSING YOUR RELIGION ON ME.
See, the thing about people (and this may be a blanket statement, but you know what? it's true for MANY, not all devoutly religious people) is that they are horrified and offended if you try and impose your beliefs on them, but they presume to know EVERYTHING about you and your (obviously flawed) beliefs. This girl professed to know everything about my religious beliefs though she has never pretended to talk to me about it. She claimed to know what God (if any) I hold in respects, and she has never even asked me a damn theological question.
Not only did she upset herself over nothing, she has to follow it up by making stupid assumptions that have no basis.
It's close-minded, arrogant, and it pisses me off.

Merry Christmas, time to bitch.
I saw in someone's profile this morning how Christmas is now a "generically named" holiday with "no religious affiliation whatsoever."
This is petty bullshit.
I remember when I was like 15 and 16 I was all about the whole Fuck the system, DON'T LET THE WOOL GET PULLED OVER YOUR EYES (YOU'RE ALL SHEEP) mentality. This person is at least 19 years old. Pretty much what I'm saying is you have to pick your battles, and the whole "fuck Christmas" battle is one you're going to lose.
Yes, Christmas is commercialized. It's because we want to buy things for the people that we care for, to show them our appreciation for being part of our lives. Yes, many many people lose sight of what Christmas is really about. But if you're smart enough to see and feel what Christmas really is, then let it go. It's not going to affect your life in any way if other people do not feel true Christmas spirit.
So what is your purpose of putting this in your profile? To prove a point? To point these things out to people? Everyone knows! Do you really think you're the first person to suggest that Americans have lost sight of their Christmas values? Are you really thinking for yourself if there have been thousands of the same thoughts before yours?
There's a time to move past all that. Stop trying to be the nonconformist by conforming to the same typical lines of thought and I won't have to make these entries.
Oh...P.S...."generically named holiday" ?
How many holidays are named "Christmas" ?
How can a holiday even be generic? It's a special day by intention; it CAN'T be generic.
I hope you're feeling the love this Christmas.

I have been in a real desperate kind of funk lately, and I don't know how to get out of it. Whether it's a regression to Ishpeming routine that I am fighting and losing, or people and events passed that are coming back to haunt me, it's sufficient to make me want to just hide out from the world with a good book. Current social tasks are taxing, and future social prospects look daunting.
Dan is my best friend in the world and he has definitely noticed that is something up with me. I wish I could tell him what it was. I wish I knew. I wish I could tell you all what I'm thinking without having to open my mouth and say it. I wish I could feel comfortable here.
The important thing to tell you all is that if I have told you I want to spend time with you while I'm here, I WILL do it. So please don't feel insulted if I haven't called. If we were to hang out, I wouldn't be myself. So unless you want to come over right now, know me through my eyes, and share the living room couch with me, it's not the right time. I'll be back soon.
Merry Christmas.

Tomorrow.
VIP in IHS.
Maybe you'll see me in the balcony, whoaaa.
This is going to come out of nowhere, but I'm switching my major AGAIN to Nursing. What I really want to do is make good money and travel, and if I can be a traveling nurse I will make at least 55 grand a year and they will pay for wherever I'm staying. Also, I will get to travel all over the United States and maybe the rest of the world. Best of all, if I like a place I can stay because if hospitals like the work you did they'll offer you a permanent position.
So why did I decide I didn't want to have a degree in Music Industry Management? Oh, no reason really, just that it would destroy everything I love about music. I love music for the heart that is put into it, the raw musicianship, the talent. Being in Music Industry Management would have me figuring how much every band and musician is worth, how much money I can make and milk out of them. I would be the suit with the dollar sign eyes that I have always despised.
So I have gone from Psychology, to English Composition, to Music Industry Management, to Nursing. Oh boy. Well, creating music and writing have always been my passions, my anchors, so I will continue to do them no matter what. But also, I have always tried to be philanthropic, and nursing gives me a chance to help people first hand, with something that takes me past "community service" and all that.
If you're lucky I'll find some talent in you in time for Christmas.

Breathe in. Hold it. Let those capillaries swell with life. Now let it out and tell me to my face that every moment wasn't worth it.
There are no such thing as heroes. They spring out of myth, which is a nice word for elegant ignorance. You just didn't have the chance to hold them up to the light, not on some pedestal or shrine this time but to examine them for weakness. You'd find several flaws deemed human and that would be it. The world that they were holding for you would fall, would drop like your stomach when you discover someone's discovered your secret. Except this time the secret's nothing's stoic anymore.
Sports heroes are liars with habits who hate the game almost as much as themselves; rock stars are liars with self destructive tendencies and venereal disease, and there is always that album that they throw out on the downslope of their careers. No one looks dignified while they're drowning, just like no one goes without a tantrum. Take a lot of pictures, make some good memories because it's all going down.

I've got a tear in my stomach and a hole in my heart, which means I'm sick all the time and I don't care at all.
