Ahh love.. it's a mother fucker eh??
What is love?? Is it a song? Is it the feeling you get from the song? Is it a person? Is it a hobby? Is it an addiction? Who knows what love.. really is??
Maybe there are different forms of love.. but then how do you judge which you love more? And you're obviously gonna love things differently.. so does that mean you love it more or less than other loves??
What if love's just an appreciation that you see in something/someone/some action? Does that mean everything significant in your life means you loved it?? Love should mean MUCH more than that.
Maybe the word LIKE has been pushed into something that it doesn't mean.. and love has been pushed to boundaries it shouldn't have been?
Love in my opinion should be saved for times when you say love because you cannot contain it.. because that's all that flows from your lips when you speak of it. Not because it's a "go-to" word! Use the word LIKE for times like that. Like means you enjoy it. Love means you LOVE it. Bottom line.. if you love it.. you KNOW you love it.. you don't question.. you don't use it as a filler in looking for a better word to fill your lack of a better fucking word.
Now obviously there are different layers of love.. I love cooking shows.. but do I love them the same as I love my nephew?? No way! But does it mean I love it less?? Fuck I don't know!!!!
Only word of advice is.. if you find something/someone/some action that you actually love... don't lose it! Embrace it with everything.. because.. well it's obvious.. that's why we fucking live right?? To find things we love.

I get older and they stay the same age....
Or at least I wish it was that way.. it seems more like I stay the same age and everyone around me get's older.
I realize im only 23, but im in no way shape or form where I thought i'd be at this age. My friends and family around me are getting older, gettin hitched, having kids and buying houses (in that order) And some might say.. im young at heart.. but I really don't think that's what it is. I'd like to believe it's a combo between still wanting to have pure un-touched fun and the fear of realizing that pure un-touched fun is slowly coming to a hault.
When I was growing up I was under the impression that it went from: school to work to wife to kids to retiring to death. And you'd just know when and what to do with these things when ya got there. Like I turn 18 and CLICK light goes on and I know how to do it. But sadly.. the click didn't ever really go off and I just started shooting from the hip on what to do. And here it is.. 5 years later and it still feels like im aiming with both eyes closed.
Here soon, big changes need to be made.. maybe something drastic.. maybe something as sublte as giving up swearing. Who knows? All I know is I don't know if I need to "grow up" per say but I do know that I need to get to the point where I can provide and be ready for whatever future lie in front of me. OR I can just move into my dads and work a part time job that pays just enough to pay for internet so I can beat off with tear lube. Either way im sure i'll still impress the ladies.

The happy days... and the not so happy days
In a galaxy filled with multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers and laughers.. lies a percentage (depending on who you're arguing with on how big or small that percentage is) it's a percentage none the less. Of people who actually need and use pills to their regular dosage and purpose. The other LARGE percent abuse and have or will eventually become dependent on their choice of poison.
In a rather small populated area I still could place a wager on that I couldn't throw a rock without hitting someone who's becoming increasingly dependent on pills. Since when did regular stress from a regular day classify as depressed?? Since when did having a headache justify the use of Vicodin?? I don't think any of our ancestors utilized these things to get through the day.
I guess my curiousity for this topic finally fell in my lap when a friend of mine.. whom i've known for sometime.. revealed to me that he's now on anti-depressants because school's stressing him out. Now im obviously not a doctor.. so I couldn't diagnose him either way.. what I do know is that sounds like a pretty lousy excuse for depressed. I obviously understand the fact that peoples chemistery is different and what could effect others heavily could roll off another persons shoulder. But 70 years ago.. if someone was stressed.. they got through it. I think with it being so accessible people find themselves looking for a reason to take it. I mean why not??? Happiness in a bottle.. who isn't intrigued?? But the sad reality is all they are doing is dumbing down your senses.. making you less aware of your surroundings. Call it a "crack-pot theory" if you will.. but we all know America and any other country don't ever really make anything strictly for the benefit of YOU.. there's always an under-lining where they are gaining profit and or making something off of you.
So let's talk the other side for a moment.
I don't mean to bad talk medicine or people who take it for justifiable reasons. Medicine is obviously there for a reason and most times i'd like to assume for a good reason. Certain people do need things to lift them up and get them through the day.. certain people have pain that's crippling them and without pain killers wouldn't be able to function I GET THAT. I understand that.. im not heartless... I just always like to pose the question.. "Where would you be if they didn't have that technology???"
I always have to revert back to the past. I mean there have always been means to cope with problems.. some being healthy (working out) some being unhealthy (booze, drugs). But the fact comes down to it.. as a population.. we're getting weaker, dumber and more medicated. God who knows in 40 years we could all be bubble boys (girls) because we've weakened our immune systems to the point where living outside of a sterile enviorment would kill us.
In short: We're becoming a nation of pussies and push-overs. If you NEED a pill take it.. but if you're taking it to cope or because you THINK you need it.. take a second before you pop it and ask yourself "Where would I be without this?"
