I think you are a very positive ranter Mishko.


You are even handed and invite discussion either explicitly or implicitly.  It has never struck me as being a bitch.


And if people don't get you, then well... they can do their own rants.


You are definitely a different breed of ranter than my "scream into a hole until the blood lust or selfloathing subside" style.  It certainly make for better reading :)


*hugs*


While I'm here, I may as well sneak in a quick rant that I wasn't going to bother with:


To whom it may concern, I was happy, actually really happy for the first time in a long time and you f#cked it up and left me in pieces for someone else to hold together.  If you want to goddamn talk where the hell are you?!   (*&^%$#%^&*(*&%$


End rant.

I just can't stand hearing about all the wrong in the world, especially borderline and full on child and domestic abuse, and having no power to stop it. It drives me mad. If I could, I would take every abused kid away from their screwed up "parents" and give them a loving home. But my inability to do so is one of the many things that keep me awake at night.

You probably got the thought from the same source, too. X_x;; I had to leave the forum for bit to cool off.

My step father (Phil) died today, it was incredibly sudden. He was fine this morning, picked my mum up from the airport, said he wasn't feeling well, then died, at the airport. It's been quite an emotional night =/

First the doors on my car are frozen shut. Then when I finally get one door open, turn it on, then close it to warm up, it *locks* itself.

Hooray! :D

Urgh...


It's not often I deal with emotions, but I had to just now, and it didn't help that they were getting poked at by third parties. I can't tell if the sick feeling I'm getting is from that or something physical.

Girls won't date a future soldier, my art sucks, my grades suck, I will never be the best or even competent at any of the things I like to do, standards are too high, expectations are unrealistic, my dreams are slowly getting farther and fewer in between, and I can't find anything I'm looking for...  :/

Everything wants to screw up... everything. The closer we get to accomplishing something, another thing has to come up and destroy what was built up. Delays. Delays. More FRIGGEN delays. More sitting on my goddamn ass waiting for a day that will never come.

I can't stand that someone can get so much praise by cheating and those that take the time to improve on their skill get ignored. And even when people know that someone is cheating, they just shrug it off and say they don't care and still praise them regardless. How can someone deserve praise by cheating? It's not even their work. They spent no effort getting to where they are and have little chance of actually improving. Encouraging that behavior is asinine and stifles creativity.

"Why can't you be like [certain person]?"

Because I'm not [certain person].

You don't encourage someone to be better by saying another person is better than them. Not all people have a mindset of "Oh yeah? I'll show you!" with things like that. A lot of the time the person doesn't push on to the best of their ability because they already feel "not good enough". Saying someone else is better only proves their feelings right in their head. That should be common sense. Thanks for the years of making it even harder to battle the constant feeling of uselessness.
