Have you ever just wanted to be bitter? I suppose most people don't have to consider what it would be like. They just are. All my life, I've been taught that being bitter is selfish. That mistreating others to make yourself feel better isn't the "noble" thing to do. Be the bigger person. Ironically enough, I'm always the bigger person physically, and yes, I know that isn't what that phrase means. But whenever I do something that is competely and totally vindictive, when I alienate the object of my bitterness, when I crush some tender feeling, when I walk over some poor soul, when I give in to the "selfishness" that is bitterness, I have to be completely honest. It is the single most delicious feeling known. It makes you feel so alive, you just want to do it over and over and over again. There is nothing better than revenge. It is a dish best served, cold hot or otherwise. Trust me, I'll take a dish of lukewarm revenge over any other. That having been said, I am remiss to include that I competely hate being that guy. I am not a vindictive person by nature. I take that back. I am a vindictive person by nature. I am also conflicted because I'm a really nice person. A very nice person. Maybe not the nicest of persons, since everytime I want to do something nice, I hate doing that nice thing. It is a constant struggle to treat people the way I know they should treated. That being said, I cringe everytime I think of doing something that could be relegated to the "wrong" category. Its this battle of right and wrong, good and evil, light and dark, whatever analogy you would impose, it is this battle that I think ultimately defines me. For every moment that someone thinks I am being mean, and I deny it, I always am, somewhere in my mind. I'm driven to do what's right, but often times, I am compelled to ignore that drive. Maybe that's something every human deals with. Maybe not. But I do know this. I am willing to admit I want to do what's wrong sometimes. If that isn't your thing, if that offends you, then I suggest you take a serious assessment of who you are, because you are lying to yourself if you honestly believe you don't have the urge to do what's wrong. Am I condoning doing something unacceptable? No. I'm condoning accepting your weaknesses for what they are. Weaknesses. And once you know your weakness, you can begin to lean on your strengths, and even overcome the weaknesses you have.

Grow up.

How wrong would that really be?

So here we are...the blog. Its dusty, its not been used in a while, and I gotta tell you, lately, I've not felt up to doing anything worthwhile or posting anything. I feel like I'm shooting in the dark. That alone should be reason enough to stop. Bullets drop back down to earth, and the last thing I want to do is to be shot by my plummeting attempts at hitting something, anything.

Does that mean I'm done? Not quite. I'm just trying to figure somethings out. I'll get back to you on it when I do.

So apparently, its been a while since i posted. I have to be honest with you, I've not had a lot to say. Its like I'm in a car flying down some road I've never really been on before, and somehow, I'm trying to describe things I've never seen to someone who's blind.


Well maybe nothing that poetic. But I'm definitely traveling a route I've never taken before. Honestly, there's nothing better than knowing that you are forging new territory every day. I guess when it comes to ourselves, we'll always be innovators and trailblazers, since we'll always have to constantly write new chapters about ourselves. Indeed.
