Rants: Everyday Venting

[Alessia Starfurr]

Im half cherokee and I donthave a problem with whites. They didnt do shit to me and I dont care what they're ancestors did to mine. My bust fren is white for christ sakes. My grandfather was full blooded cherokee and he stayed away the reservations for the same reason I do. He always said the reservations are filled with prejudice idiots that complain about the white man and throw their history away well claiming that their heritage was stolen from them. He lived entirely off the land, never drank and never once took welfare from anybody. He was without a doubt the last few true cherokees left in this world. I do what I can to be every bit the man he was.

You cant accuse the white man for hurting you and then show him prejudice towrds them. Some people call the dumb

The true man ,no matter the race, will adapt no matter what and rise amongst the new environment. I'm sure your grandfather realized, complaining gets you nowhere, doing something about it does. That is our problem today too many people are complaining about "Oh I'm this race and this always happens... blah blah blah." They will get nowhere. Not because they are of 'that' race because they are too busy complaining to work towards making a better living for themselves, tell me did the Cherokees get on in life by doing nothing and just complaining? I bet not, they just like everybody else had to work for a living weather it was hunting for food,cutting wood or farming...  There's no free lunch even things that are free to you are not free.

[The Past]

This big problem, I feel, is that people make it a race issue when it's a culture issue of the time that is gradually fading out. It's not the white race that's bad, it's the culture some civilizations developed that made members of that civilization believe that their shit doesn't stink. This could have happened with any other race if given the opportunities-- And it has, just not at as big of a scale simply due to limits in technology.
Civilizations of many races have been genecidal and territory-hungry throughout human history. (In fact, there is pretty much no "pure" race. We are all various mixes of older races, most of which completely forgotten.) And of course those actions were never right, but the only way to prevent those events from happening again is to learn from history and move on to a better future for everyone; not dwell bitterly on the past that can't be changed.

Anyway, let's go back on topic, guys. Off-topic discussions should be made into their own thread, anyway.

On topic: My sleep schedule is seriously messed up again. I was doing well for a while, at least.

Also, using my tablet is giving me back and neck pain. There is no safe way to position myself to use it. I think I messed up my ribs or something from this BS.

My sleep schedule is so far doing okay, but spending time away from school always makes it slip a little.

To be honest, I don't really like breaks from school/vacations. At first it's the typical "great, no school for awhile. I can just be lazy at home!". And then I feel like "Ugh, I just have to be lazy at home." I always end up bored and maybe even a little depressed after spending so much time at my house. I guess it stems from my problem of not really having any friends. I'd love to get out and have some fun stuff to do with other people...but I can't. I hardly even know what that's like.

Got my left wing arm pulled seriously today.
We always think that left hand as unimportant especially when dealing with things like drawing or writing, but only when it get hurt do we realize how awkward it is to be without the support of it.

I know the feeling, Amethyst. I only had one friend I visited on occasion since 5th grade, but started paying little attention to her due to my rush to move out on my own (which failed pathetically), and lost contact. So for the past couple years I've been isolated by my lonesome in my room barely remembering how to associate with people offline.

I feel awful thinking about how I abandoned her like that. I've thought about trying to get back in touch with her, but I don't know how she feels about me now.

Yeah, I recently had a falling out with a long-ish term friend to boot. I try to talk to him on occasion, but it's always a little awkward and short. We used to be pretty close so it feels kind of...sore? The only two other friends I have I see them a couple times a week but only at school.

Part of it is my fault, since I'm not really good at making friends. I never quite learned how and I guess the ones I have now happened by chance. I'd like to get out and go places/do things that would give me a chance of finding people with similar interests outside the internet, but I can't drive atm so my transportation is limited. My parents are also still a little overbearing I suppose, at the thought of me hanging out with people they don't know or by myself despite me being 19 already.

I feel like I should just shut my mouth because I feel like literally everything I say is either idiotic or completely unnecessary.
I'm always hurting other people and painting myself into a corner because I don't know how to express exactly what I mean. English is not my first language but I don't think that's the issue here. I just don't really know how to express myself without being a jackass about it.
I'm starting to use a lot more I-messages but I don't understand what the problem is. I keep telling myself that people are just too sensitive but I truly think I'm the one who's too blatant. I just don't know how to fix this problem.

I'm a blunt person, I understand your pain friend.

It's bad when a new inner tube for your bike tire can't take any air. -_-

Looks like I get the luxury of doing a stressful, two man job by myself the next three days so much excite.

When I'm called a weeaboo because I like a musical arrangement that just happens to be performed by a Japanese orchestra in Japan.
I don't like it because it's Japanese, I like it because it sounds good.


Also, when people say English/Art/Music majors won't get you anywhere.
