I have two things I'd like to share with everyone tonight, but I'm only going to bring up one of them now. My little rant on us, as a civilization, de-evolving will come later tonight or perhaps tomorrow. But for now I would like to talk about how we should be treating our fellow man. I can remember not so long ago when I worked at Barnes and Noble how there was this one guy Tim who I worked with, and I really thought Tim was a complete and total jackass. I openly treated this guy rudely, and someone had once even said that Tim had brought it up to them how I was so rude. Today, as I am still at work, this one girl is mad at me because I didn't go to an art show something or other she was having, and she's been acting in almost the same manner towards me that I acted towards Tim. Well of course it isn't enjoyable, to have someone sending waves of hate towards you, but I started thinking, that's pretty shitty if this is the way Tim felt; I shouldn't have acted that way towards him. Then I pushed my good-natured, positve-thinking, Oprah-watching, wussy conscience out of the way and actually thought, "Well realistically, I'll act nice towards him for a bit, but then he'll continue being his jackass self and piss me off, and I'll get fed-up with him again, and pretty soon I'll start being rude and ignoring him." To quote he book The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul, "There are some people you like immediately, some whom you think you might learn to like in the fullness of time, and some that you simply want to push away from you with a sharp stick." So really I suppose I can't blame this girl, since this isn't how she always acts towards me, but simply he just being mad at me. And to be honest, she has an attitude problem anyway (and I'm NOT saying that to be mean, just stating it as a fact.) So I suppose, in conclusion, act however you want towards people, as long as it's justified and you've thought it over. Give people a chance, and then if they let you down it's their fault, and then you have my permission to treat them like crap. ...unless the person you're thinking of treating like crap is me. Then don't be so harsh. Give me a break. Call me Nell Carter. ...congradulations to everyone who actually got that reference, you'll be getting your prize in the mail in 4-6 weeks. Alright, well I should get back to work. Just wanted to share with with...whoever the hell it is that actually reads this thing. Later.
