Today’s post is on people.  Actually I can see a pattern here, looks like I’m posting about once a month now, so maybe I’ll stick to that.  Today’s subject is people, and how they assume they are the center of attention.  I mean think about it, even yourself; You find it hard to believe that other people or somewhere else in the world, or even there in your city, that are doing things that you aren’t involved in.  I know this sounds a little hard to swallow, but bear with me.  If you watch people and how they act, they think it’s all about them.  99.9% of the time they don’t care what happens to anyone, it’s all about number one.  And just as I said, I think we’re all guilty of this to an extent, but it’s just hard to see out of our own eyes.  I myself don’t understand why people love to hear about the lives of celebrities.  Who cares!?  Why is it important for me to know that Angelina Jolie got a new husband or got divorced or whatever?  It doesn’t matter!  A little off subject, but still!

I just don’t understand the world.  Why does it seem like things were easier as a kid?  Why does it feel like my life is getting more complicated?  I found a grey hair in my head people.  Did you read that right?  A grey hair!  That scares the hell out of me.  I can’t help but to worry sometimes.  I mean it doesn’t keep me up at night, but sure I stress about things, just like most people.  I guess as a child everyone just seemed more happy.  Maybe it was because I was more happy?  Maybe I smiled at people more than I do now, hence them smiling back?  Who knows?  I absolutely detest all these people on Myspace etc… that think they are big celebrities or “popular” amongst the people.  What is that?  Delusions I think.  It’s so funny to me how people have to make themselves feel good by doing certain things, or treating people some way.  I observed something today at lunch.  There was an attractive girl sitting at a table near mine, probably 19 or 20, and an extremely overweight boy, probably 18 or 19 years old, sitting at the table next to her.  I sat back and observed the situation, because once or twice I noticed that he asked her to nudge her chair up so he could squeeze through a space.  After he walked off, she looked at the rest of her “attractive” friends, and laughed at him.  I can kind of understand that, but they took it to the next level almost.  She kept looking over at him and shaking her head in disgust, subsequently laughing.  It hurt my feelings for that guy a lot, but it just reinforced the fact that the majority of people are ass holes.  It never fails, almost every single attractive girl in the world is a bitch, with the exception of maybe like 1%.  I think most of that attitude just comes from how she was brought up and treated.  Just about every single one of my friends oogle over girls like that and do whatever they ask, and that is ridiculous.  A dumb blonde chick that doesn’t know jack-shit about a job can get it if she’s attractive.  What is our world coming to?
