My Qualms

"sorry" "thanks"

These are probably the words I hate most that are commonly used by everyone. In general, I actually really dislike words (ironic). But these two in particular just sum up my main qualm about verbal communication.

Basically, I would much rather someone never say those two words to me, but express them in a way so that I would understand that they were truly "sorry" or "thankful". Oftentimes, I get the impression that if someone says "sorry", then that is all that is needed on their part. I often fall into the trap of saying "oh no dont worry about it" back. And thats where it ends. All is forgiven.

Thats bullshit. I dont care about someone's "intentions" or any of the inner feelings that they hold. How does that help me? It may sound self-serving, but its frustrating for me to accept someone's apologies basically off of one word. Thankful? Show your thanks instead of just saying it. I find that many people live just in their own world, benefitting only themselves. Even altruistic gestures are a way to help one masturbate their own spiritual dick.

You may find that this blog will hold a lot of cynicism and ranting, but I'm determined to post my feelings, no matter how brutal they are.

A Fresh Start

I've always wanted to blog freely. It seems as though all my previous endeavors have been marred by the eyes of peers and I end up restricting the ideas that appear to the public. So I'd like to start off the blog with something inspiring I found on the web and hopefully I'll stick to the wave of motivation I often feel at the latest hours of night. It's already morning after all.
