Mashed song lyrics as an expression of how I'm feeling today:
what is this?
are you some kind of hypnotist?
maybe i just look detached
i feel the social glare
i have to speculate
that God himself did
make us into corresponding shapes
like puzzle pieces from the tray
you don't believe me
i take a breath
hold the air until there is nothing left
wash away the thoughts inside
in the darkness i remain
there is no fucking you
there is only me

two simple wordsCategory: potpourri
If someone does something nice for you, the least you SHOULD do is express your gratitude with a 'thank you'. Two simple words that can make such a difference. If you're too cool for school and can't utter those words, you should at least fucking acknowledge what was done for you!
For example, "I got your card", or "wow you cleaned".
Something - Anything to let that person know they haven't gone unnoticed on this planet, regardless if you're a fucker who can't say thanks. That is all.

you're spot on leetee. some days are just harder to see through than others.
and yes peter, i suppose i'd rather get nothing than a totally fake thank you. but i don't like to make assumptions that anyone is grateful for anything i do for them. i've been proven wrong far too many times.

Wait What I typed wasn't what I meant to say. I kinda said it wrong. I do think that when you do something nice it would be nice to get a thank you. But if you are doing something nice then you are doing something to be nice not for a thank you. The problem is how do you know if the person really is thankfull unless they tell you. I do think that some people do assume that you know that they are thankfull so they don't say anything. What I was trying to speak about how our Polite society has some aspects to it that inforce fake Sinsarity (how ever it is spelled). I great example of this is at the conrner store where the person says thanks for shoping here (most times they could careless and if you warn't there they could talk to there friends about the good or bad time they had last night.) The Joke I was talking about is that sometimes does something for you that also benifits them so you both give out a thank you. Can't think of a good example but say someone says thank you to you than you say thanks for the thanks then they could go it was my pleasure and it could go on forever. I hope this is more clear then the first one. What I think is the real issue is not knowing if the person was really thankfull or not. But they might say thanks but be thinking it would have been better off with out the help.

I understand what you mean, but sometimes take for granted that you know they are thankfull. What gets me more upset is the system of thank yous. For example a wedding you give a gift then they send you a thank you card. There is a lot of thank you that I don't want to say are fake but are insicre that are just words. Sometimes I joke around to much when people say or no thank you. So i'll say so thank you for the thank you.

I can understand your frustration... i've been on the giving end of a small token and gotten stoney silence. And yeah, it upset me.
Then, i realized part of the reason i was upset was my expectations. Yeah, ok, i totally agree, people should say thank you or notice.
But is that why you do it? Merely for the recognition? Nope, you don't. You do it because you are a kind, giving person.
Happy venting, and don't let the inconsiderate leave you feeling like you are less than you are!!

ghosts and legciclesCategory: potpourri
Ghost Hunters marathon on Sci-Fi today!
Got caught in that snow storm last night trying to get home from work at Canisius. I hardly made it to the subway station. Visibility was about 3 feet and I think the wind chill registered at -15, but my frozen legcicles and forehead would wager it to be even less. I couldn't even tell where the sidewalks were supposed to be, so I fell off the curb and into the street.
That arctic air was so cold I could feel my eyeballs freezing. I actually had a moment when I wondered, if I was caught in a storm while climbing a mountain...is this how you go out? Is this the last thing you remember seeing and feeling before your body shuts down?

sinuitisCategory: sick
I finally went to the doctor yesterday and found out why I've had this reocurring battle with coughing and congestion over the last 3 weeks. I have a severe sinus infeciton. I got some meds last night so hopefully I'll be feeling much better by Sunday.
I got the results back from my comprehensive exams. PASS.
Cheers, with my big glass of water. Ciao.

that's an amazing talent you have ladycroft. Hope tomorrow brings a better day because that is a pretty painful expression of feelings.
well that last line is from a NIN also known as Nine Inch Nails song I belive but can't remember if that is the tittle or not so I got the guesses started.
