This journal entry coming at ya live and late, straight from my sleep deprived bedroom. I am currently sweaty, mentally and physically exhausted and yet a bit wired all the same. I have a couple of midterms this week so I’ve been studying my but off and exercising during my breaks. I brought out the old weights for the first time in the new place and did some routines on top of the usual stuff. Did a few calve exercises to work on the “insufficient calves” problem. I just finished doing my last rep of pushups/situps, kempo, squats, calve raises etc... Now I’m sitting at my computer, cooling and calming down before I go to bed, wondering what to do in the meanwhile.
I wrote a letter to someone and here I’m still sweaty so I thought it’s a good a time as any to journal. That is if you ignore the fact that I’m AGAIN going to bed way too late and can hardly form a coherent sentence. Plus I don’t really have a point; I guess I’m kinda just rambling out loud. Man I have to get into a routine of going to bed earlier. Sometimes I wish I wasn’t a night person. It isn’t very convenient being tired all day and getting a ton of energy from 7-11pm.
Uhhhh, right, say something interesting already, oh, here’s a thought I was thinking. I was debating whether to write a couple journal entries about two topics I have strong opinions on. Trouble is they’re the controversial type and would guaranteedely offend people. Speaking my honest opinion would certainly have people looking at me differently afterwards. Therefore I don’t think I will write them. Ha, I found the trouble about posting publicly to people you actually know and care about. You have to deal with them later, who cares what you say to strangers. The negative potential far outweighs the positive of writing them so I think I won’t.
I know what some people will say,
“Hey you can’t let that stop you! You should write them anyways, just try to be conscious of other people’s opinions and try not to overdo it. I’m sure people will be able to take it in stride and it may stir up discussion.”
When considering this response I feel this comparison is apt. No matter how much you try to prepare a group for a REALLY dirty/sexist/racist joke, no matter how light the situation is, even with extreme care given to explaining that the joke does not reflect your opinion whatsoever and that you were not one who came up with it, even with encouragement by your care free audience to just go ahead and tell it, everyone wants to hear it, your joke will probably be met with silence while everyone looks at you like youre a jackass. It’s kinda like the old, “I promise not to get mad”, bit when you have no idea what’s coming, it’s a hollow promise. Hint: of the two topics, one has something to do with religion and the other with the military. That’s all I’m saying, no further comment.
Oh no, this 10 minute babble turned into a 45 minute tangent. think Im a little delirious. Tomorrows gonna be rough. If youll excuse me the giant purple snorklewacker in my closet is telling me i should probably do something about the 7 foot talking banana in the bathroom so i thnk i wll be gng nowzzzzz....
