Stolen Away On 55th & 3rd

Jesters and Jokers:

This is Meatson comin' at cha full throttle straight to your face. I highly suggest you stay clear of the tracks when the Meat Express is operating at maximum speed headed right for your sorry ass, ready and more than capable of forcefully wiping that little smirk clean off of your face.

You scared yet? Or are you thirsty for more?

Fair enough, it is apparent that you are terrified. Please stop shaking in your boots, I come in peace. I am a lover, not a fighter. Check that, I am absolutely, positively, definitely not a fighter as my friend(s?) can attest to. I should mention, however, that this is certainly not by choice. I would absolutely love to be able to take names and kick some serious ass. I, however, have yet to acquire the proper prerequisites for becoming involved in a legitimate fight. To become a true contender in a fight requires muscle and strength. I have none (yet). It also requires quickness. I do not have quickness (I am white, quickness will probably never be fully acquired). A fight also requires experience. I have no experience (I am currently only accepting invitations to fight from Schaffer Degen). Many times fights also require at least a decent base of alcohol consumption. I certainly have the ability to build a proper base, you can believe that. Finally, there is often a female figure involved who serves as the centerpiece of the conflict. This female figure serves as the rising action, the climax (that is what she said), and the falling action as well within the course of a potential brawl. Guy likes girl, other guy fittingly likes [same] girl as well. What we have here is the classic love triangle we see time and time again at low-key cocktail bars such as Oxford's finest Brick Street Bar & Grill (Spirits - Food - Entertainment), timeless television shows like "Secret Life of the American Teenager" or "Jersey Shore," or even the heart-wrenching movies on networks like "Lifetime" or "Oxygen." I become so immersed in the acting and drama of these epic shows and movies. It is almost like it's happening to me. The emotions that these actors reveal to their viewing audience is captivating and unparalleled. Take my breath away why don't you? Just shut up. Just shut up. You had me at hello. You had me at hello.

For real though, I do watch some of those shows and movies. They are awesome, for lack of a better superlative. "Jersey Shore" without a hint of doubt makes me dumber every minute I watch it. The second and third re-runs that I also watch make me 2x and 3x (respectively) dumber as each minute goes by. Oh well.

Enough about the prerequisites of fights and the ins-and-outs (that is what she said) of Lifetime movies. I would like to share a few thoughts on a more noteworthy topic.

Truth be told, I am uncertain as to how to organize my thoughts. I guess I will begin by saying that I find it amazing how we can be so absolutely certain about a decision in one moment, and before you can even take your very next breath we will suddenly find ourselves so unbelievably uncertain about that decision. Why does our mind work in such funny ways? Why does everything have to be so complicated? People often say to make decisions based solely on what YOU want to do. We always hear, "Do what YOU think." We hear, "Do what you think is best for YOU." I would argue that trying to live up to that advice is almost unfair. Because, as we all know, whoever is giving you that advice ultimately wants what he or she would prefer you to decide.

I am of the thought that this world needs much more honesty. Relationships need more honesty. Every single type of relationship, especially romantic relationships, needs more brutal honesty. When you really break a relationship down to its core, trust and honesty will always remain the glue that keeps two people together. Yes, I am aware that sometimes there are some tiny white lies that can occasionally be valid. And yes, I really have not been in many very serious relationships, but I still stand by my assertion that honesty and trust will always remain the top priority in any type of relationship, and I believe the world needs more of it. Maybe the fact that I have not been in many serious relationships is because I am too brutally honest. Or perhaps it is because I am a skinny and pale nerd. Almost certainly the latter. I am fully aware that people change, people fall in and out of love (or so they try to believe), and some people's values, thoughts, and ideals change within the course of a relationship, but I believe people still need to be way more up front with each other. Honesty, even it means leaving someone with a painful bruise, will still always remain the best policy.

It is certainly true that the cold truth always hurts, and will sometimes leave an indelible, permanent scar on your heart and mind for a lifetime. However, I am not sure about anyone else, but I would certainly like to know the honest, almost always painful truth rather than live a lie. This much I know is true. Show me two people who are fully honest with each other, and I will show you a relationship that has the potential to last a lifetime.

QUOTE OF THE DAY:

"Everybody needs a place to rest.
Everybody wants to have a home.
Don't make no difference what nobody says,
Ain't nobody like to be alone.
Everybody's got a hungry heart."

- Bruce Springsteen

CLOSING THOUGHTS:

Last semester of college is here for me and many of my degenerate friends. Let's make the most of it. Rock 'n Roll.
