i wish i may i wish i might wish this wish i wish tonight...

ugh. i feel like so much yet so little has happened in the past while since i've been absent from my blog. there's not really a whole hell of a lot of uber-eventfulness to write about, which kinda makes me sad.

i've been really grouchy lately and i'm not really sure why, though it's really frustrating me (no, it's not PMS). things that people do and say are just getting to me. it seems now that summer has *finally* arrived, it seems so have the idiots.

i wish people wouldn't tell me how to do my job when clearly they are sitting in my chair because they need my professional opinion.

i wish people weren't so stuck up about religion. actually, i wish religion would just go away. beliefs, gods and morality can stay, but organized religion be gone! until people can be religious without being pompous, pig-headed and arrogant, i think it should not exist. a prime example: i hate peas and think they are the nastiest things ever. if i hated/disliked or harshly judged everyone who liked peas, i would not have a lot of friends.

i wish bad things didn't happen to good people.

i wish people would stand up for themselves instead of just complaining about it. yes, i realize i fall into this category sometimes too.

i wish people would grow their own brains. you've got a brain, use it. that's what it's there for, not so you can just "download" information from one person or source and use that as your opinion "because they said so". that's plagiarism of the brain.

i wish everyone in the world could get along with and love their parents and siblings as much as i love and need mine.

i wish people would drive the speed limit and not 10 clicks under, especially in a 50 zone.

i wish people wouldn't judge others by how they look. not returning a hello to a stranger as they walk by you because you think you're better or better looking than them is an asshole move. (i need to work on this one... i think emo/scene kids are idiots haha)

i wish i wasn't allergic to stupid things like celery and cucumbers. i love celery and cucumbers! i eat them regardless, but it'd be so much more enjoyable/so much less annoying if i didnt get itchy from it. ha.

i wish i drove a crotch rocket. and lived in california.

i wish i had the means to invent all the weird shit i come up with on a daily basis. i would be rich, let me tell you.

i wish everyone could see things through each others eyes.
Friend 1: you know what i mean?
Friend 2: not really
*friend 1 passes eyeballs to friend 2*
understanding instead of the need to be right...

i wish people wouldn't just say things like "we're sorry if we hurt you, it was not our intention" when they're in front of other people just to make themselves look sincere when you know that behind the scenes, they avoided reconciliation at all costs.

why do people feel the need to pretend? to put on a face? maybe it's cos no body cares. maybe cos they care too much. either way, i'm sick of it. be who you are, don't hide behind a wall. if you're sad, cry. if you're happy, jubilate. if you've got problems, talk to someone who can help you. i thought people got passed all that pretentious shit after high school. apparently it just gets worse.

anyhow, this was not meant to be depressing at all, just contemplative. when i started off writing it, i started with "i hate it when..." but that felt too negative. the things we dislike and that bother us can become so consuming when we think of them in negative ways. they eat at us and bring us down. so i tried to put a little spin on it, by starting with "i wish". "i wish" makes us hopeful. it makes us believe that anything you can think of can happen, can become a reality. maybe filling my days with "i wish" thoughts instead of "i hate" thoughts will help to make me less grumpy.

Long Weekend

i was just thinking why do we have Victoria Day this weekend and we get it off, but people in England only have next weekend off? (at least Anthony has next weekend off anyhow). you'd think since it's named after Queen Victoria, we'd synchronize the holiday or something, and since they are the "mother land".

i dont know what i'm going on about really.

i had a pretty lame long weekend. just worked. but i did get out to see Port Amoral at Skate 4 Cancer last night at the Forks, which was pretty awesome. they put on a great show as always, and even included a bunch of their newer songs, much to my satisfaction. if you dont know who Port Amoral is then get the fuck on it and go to their myspace - www.myspace.com/portamoral Villains is the GREATEST song ever. Eric's guitar skills are killer. and i wouldn't lie to you.

i had a purpose to this post, i'm sure of it, i've just forgotten what it was, and i realized that i haven't blogged in about a month. anyhow, i hope everyone had a great weekend and enjoy the rest of it.

and i definitely need some people to get together and play MUNCHKIN BOOTY at some point in the NEAR future. it's a wicked game, i swear.

cheers.
