Need a good LOL?

Well then, prepare to LOL.

I would like to introduce you to lolcatz (how fitting). I guess you could call them my guilty pleasure.

This innocent form of humor has provided me with hours of belly-aching, tear-jerking laughter. I don't care if that makes me childish.

Thanks to my friend Ross for getting me hooked. Enjoy!

...I dare you not to laugh!

Haha...in this case, cats rule.

Cats aren't the only ones who ask this question...

Lolcat speaks the truth!

hahahaha....that's a good question..

Right, it's not a cat



Not Over You

I guess this means my posts don't really have a theme to them. Sometimes they're deep, sometimes they're philosphical, sometimes they're nonsense and sometimes they're just the lyrics to a really good song.

Dreams, that's where I have to go
to see your beautiful face anymore
I stare at a picture of you and listen to the radio
Hope, hope there's a conversation
where we both admit we had it good but
until then it's alienation, I know, that much is understood
And I realize
If you ask me how I'm doin I would say I'm doin just fine
I would lie and say that you're not on my mind
But I go out and I sit down at a table set for two
and finally I'm forced to face the truth
No matter what they say, I'm not over you
Not over you

Damn, damn girl you do it well
And I thought you were innocent
You took this heart and put it through hell
But still you're magnificent
I'm a boomerang doesn't matter how you throw me
Turn around and I'm back in the game
Even better than the old me
But I'm not even close without you

If you ask me how I'm doin I would say I'm doin just fine
I would lie and say that you're not on my mind
But I go out and I sit down at a table set for two
and finally I'm forced to face the truth
No matter what I say, I'm not over you

And if I had the chance to renew
You know there isn't a thing I wouldn't do
I could get back on the right track
But only if you'd be convinced
So until then

If you ask me how I'm doin I would say I'm doin just fine
I would lie and say that you're not on my mind
But I go out and I sit down at a table set for two
and finally I'm forced to face the truth
No matter what I say, I'm not over you

"If wishes were crackers, my daughter would be fat"

I wish it was possible to make people care.
     But so far I've found that you can't.

I wish I could make people care that God loves them more than any human is capable of loving a person.
I wish I could make people care that smoking was destroying their body amd inhibiting them from living life to the fullest.
I wish I could make people care that I love them and want our relationship to be the best it can possibly be.
I sometimes wish I could make people care that they're hurting me.
I wish I could make people care that they're making a decision that I don't believe is beneficial to them. Even though it's not really my place to judge which decisions are worthwhile and which are not.
I wish I could make people care that the food they're putting in their bodies will turn them into a chubby old fool prone to heart attacks, diabetes, and hair loss...
     ...I get kinda preachy about health-related stuff. Don't blame me if you're immobilized or if you live until
     you're 55.
     Just saying.
I wish I could make people care that wearing a tight-fitting shirt that clings to every roll in your belly is not a look that works.

But.
Wishes aren't crackers.
Disappointing as it may be, you can't make a person care about something if they don't want to. You cannot make me care about the germs on the floor. If I drop my froot loop on the floor and I want to eat it, I'm going to eat it no matter what you say. You can't make me care about Brittany Spears' personal life regardless of how important it is to you.

All joking aside, this is a lesson I'm still in the process of learning. Credit to Brian Weyer for providing most of this insight.

The Right to Feel

Somewhere along the road society has made a mockery of girls that are too girly and people that have too many emotions.

Which is not all bad. If you ask my friends and family, I'm not a very emotional or "girly" girl. As such, I don't support letting your emotions run loose and wreaking dramatic havoc, if you know what I mean.

But there's a fine line between avoiding drama and suppressing emotion. I think society has taught us that nobody likes to be around a person with an abundance of emotions, but in my case it turned into a constant battle to be the girl that never feels anything that might get in the way of others' desires or needs. For me, it became a challenge to be the perfect girl that never let her darn emotions expose themselves and bother those around her.

I've discovered that it's not an easy task and it's not a fair expectation from anyone, especially a girl. The mere fact that it's exhausting to try and stifle emotions suggests that there are some that aren't meant to be stifled. Some are purely instinctual and irrational but others...might be plausible. Like I said, it's a fine line and one that nobody is really qualified to judge, seeing as how we're all emotionally wired so differently.

I guess I think that you should never let your emotions run your life unless you want to wind up a hysterical mess. But sometimes, it's fine to cry, it's ok to worry, and it's all right to (dare I say it) fall in love. Sometimes a person is entitled to showing a little emotion. After all, it's part of what makes us human.

Sorry for such a disjointed set of thoughts...I was kind of emotional when I started this.
