today

im not really sure what i want to write about today but i just want to write something anyways....hmmmm oh. comedians

they are some of the few people who keep things in perspective. at least sometimes. its kind of like they are the only people who can tell the truth without getting in trouble or anything. just the truth with a little flare a few cuss words and its a comedy act. but maybe thats why people love it. because you know that most of its true, you just never thought of it yourself or you never phrased it that way. its just interesting...that comedians are just talking about normal stuff normal everyday topics but they get paid for it! and they are some of the few people who can also get away with ridiculous amounts of obscenities and really really inappropriate things on TV or on their shows. people who can make racist, sexist remarks without getting in trouble even make fun of huge public figures like the president without anything happening, and its broadcasted on TV and everything! granted its hilarious but its interesting how they are just normal people and they somehow have some sort of special privileges and are exempt from almost everything. even when they do drugs or become alcoholics or something people dont go after them like they go after celebrities. its like it doesnt matter. although there are some comedians who are a huge part of the public eye but still. even the roasts!! comedians all get together and make fun of each other for like an hour on television! thats gotta be a fun career. i guess its hard to make it to the top though but once you do make it...well i dont really know. i think that most comedians who make it to the top never go down, they remain in history as a comedic legend and even when they retire its like they are even bigger than celebrities. celebrities sink into oblivion sometimes...they end up getting smaller and smaller roles, comedians have their own show, everything centered around them. the only way that celebrities have that is if they are hosting a show, which is generally the news or something similar to that...or a really bad reality show where the camera follows them around in their lives and even then that doesnt compare to a comedy show. so if your considering a career in acting, try comedy. you get your own show and sometimes comedians even make it big as actors. so pick up a joke book! because humor is powerful. in hollywood and health.

PS: some of my favorite comedians

adventures in love

relationships are complicated.  relationships with titles are even more complicated. why complicate things with words, especially when those words are "boyfriend/girlfriend" or" friends with benefits" or just plain "friend."  titles are the kiss of death to any relationship, especially friendships and even more so to friendships that turn somewhat sexual.  why does everyone see the need to define everything to make everything clear to society as to whats going on because god forbid that someone live their life in ambiguity or keep something personal. and what do those words even mean? are the definitions of the words universal? whos to say that my definition of friendship is the same as the next persons?  or even the same as my friends definition of the word.

according to apple dictionary this is the definition of the word friend:

a person whom one knows and with whom one has a bond of mutual affection, typically exclusive of sexual or family relation 

i guess this definition follows the standards set by todays society as to the boundaries of friendship. 

so by the definition these are the rules of friendship:

1. friends must have a "mutual affection" towards one another. so i must like my friend and they must like me back. thats a given in friendship, sure. ill take that. 

2. friendships exclude anyone with a familial tie. its rare but ive heard of sisters cousins mothers and daughters being friends but apparently according to the dictionary, you are not friends. i guess youll just have to find another word to define yourself. 

3. friends dont kiss or do anything sexual (unless they are friends with benefits, God i hate that term) not so much granted which brings us back to the main point of titles and relationships.  why do we have to base our friendships around this dictionary definition of the word.  why cant friends kiss friends?  i mean arent all good relationships based on friendships? dont people say that you eventually end up marrying your best friend? so if a relationship of a sexual nature has no friendship basis than is it really a good relationship at all? and why cant a friendship turned sexual still be a friendship? why does the title have to change? i guess what im trying to say is why cant friends kiss? and why must everything be defined for everyone to know? if the feelings are there and you know what you feel and your whoever it is knows how they feel too then why find the need to find a label to slap on it just so others can know how you feel too? its just a security for yourself. a security to cover up your insecurity.  because thats what it really is. having to define something to yourself...thats pretty much the most insecure thing you can do. because you dont even trust yourself to know how you feel.  but maybe you just want to show off because you have  a "boyfriend" or "girlfriend" and you think yourself superior or maybe even happier than the single person. but who are you to judge that, when you dont even know how that single person feels.  who are you to say that you are even better than someone else because of a title, a word. after all, "sticks and stones will break my bones but words will never hurt me."

a very merry un-birthday

birthdays are a pretty vain celebration. celebrating the day you were born as if it was something important and expecting others to do the same. if anything people should congratulate not the birthday person but the mother who suffered through hours of excruciating pain to push a baby out of their vagina and pay thousands of dollars for a hospital to help. birthdays: the day mothers and wallets suffer. but back to the main point, why should we celebrate peoples birthdays? why are people so sure they are a blessing to this earth? we are suffering from over population so maybe its a curse for babies being born now. maybe we shouldnt celebrate the birth of a new child but the very small decrease in resources and the slow quickening of the effects of global warming (more people eventually driving cars etc...thats how that ties in) what about children who are unwanted? mistake pregnancies, people who dont want children but ended up with them anyways for one reason or another...things like that.  do we celebrate birthdays to celebrate the fact that you have survived earth for however many years? because now a days its not that hard to really survive. with advances in modern medicine, decreased threats of the plague small pox, newer and safer building codes which decrease the threat of collapsing buildings that spontaneously combust, and the decrease of people who live in areas in which a carnivorous or dangerous animal (ex: man eating tiger or wooly mammoth) also inhabit the general threat of people dying off that quickly has severely decreased. for gods sake we have people who live to be over a hundred! so thats not what we are celebrating. and we arent celebrating any major accomplishment on your part, even famous people like composers like Mozart or famous scientists like Einstein dont have their birthdays widely celebrated. so we arent celebrating your accomplishments. but the most interesting part is that its anticipated for other people to want to celebrate your birthday too...every one should be saying happy birthday and presenting you with gifts but whos to say that they should have to? they might not even like you...they might not want to and they honestly dont have to. so even though i still dont really understand why we should celebrate others birthdays i guess its kind of like a support system for them, similar to attending an event like a play or something and clapping, celebrating or remembering somebody's birthday and making them a heartfelt card or buying them a present is just like that, only for support, and only for those who care, or care enough to feign caring.  but next time nobody remembers your birthday or you dont get a present, dont get upset, its a vain celebration anyways and the only person who should have to celebrate your being alive it is you.
