(no subject)
Every so often I get real serious on here. Every so often I get political. Hell, I even get freakin silly. This is a serious/rant moment. My thoughts are under the link. Read at your own risk.
I'm not sure why, but there are tons of people in the world who are simply just pathological liars. Or maybe not pathological, but constant liars nontheless. I have a few in my family. I know a few in person. If I could remove the ones in my family from my life I would but that's just something you have to deal with. However, I can take steps to remove the ones in my everyday life.
People like this bring you down. You don't know if what they are saying is true. And then when it is blatantly obvious they are blowing smoke, you call them out of on it and they get pissed off. I don't have to put up with such childish shit. Really. I'm 23 years old. I'm getting my career going. I have a college education. I'm not married or knocked up. (Not saying that either of those isn't right for someone else....it just hasn't been right for me yet.) I still live at home because I know financially that I can't make it alone out there yet. I pay my bills. I live within my means. I have NO DEBT! My credit score if good. In not to many words...I'm an adult. And adult looking for adult conversation. High school drama is not for me. And when it does happen, I hate getting involved but sometimes you've got to stand up for someone when they have been wronged.
I don't understand why some people feel the need to exaggerate every. single. thing. they. say. No one in the world can speak over 6,000 languages fluently. Hell, over half the Chinese population isn't even fluent in their own language because there are so many characters they rotate them every 5 or 10 years. I don't know a single person who has traveled to every country in the world. In fact, I only know very few who have ever been out of the country at all.
I don't know any geniuses. Although, Joel knows more about History than any other person I know. I know intelligent people. I know some pretty stupid people. But no geniuses.
I don't know any published authors. Oh, I know some people who are published. They had to be in order to keep their job. It's called being a PhD professor at a University. When you have to have 5 publications in 6 years then yeah you'll be a little motivated to write.
In fact, I'd love to be able to say I am a writer. But I'm not. I've started book after book with no success in finishing any of them. I decided my writing is not for other people. It's my avenue for venting and releasing. I could care less if I made money on anything I write. Oh sure, someone sent me a link to this website called Helium where if I wanted I could get paid for writing advice but I said screw that (since after a little investigating I realized all the articles on there were simply people pumping out advice to others). But I don't want to sit there day after day and give advice out to total stranger. I have a hard enough time getting people sitting right of front of me to listen, much less hundreds of people on a website.
And why do these "pathological" liars think they are kidding anyone? A 3 year old could see what they are saying isn't true. Much less someone my age. Maybe they are trying to make people believe they finally made something of themselves. I don't know. And I don't care any more. I don't need people in my life who simple aren't just themselves. I don't like fake people. With me, what you see if what you get. I don't pump people full of BS to make them like me. Either you do or you don't.
Unfortunately, no anonymous commenting will be allowed on this entry. I know non of my LJ pals will be offended but I might have some non user people out there who are. And I quite frankly don't want to argue anymore.
