I think people can change, but many folks consider themselves "changed" before they actually are. It's not to be underestimated, and often the impact of a completely new experience is needed to make a difference. As much as I like Green Day, I don't think their sandbox anarchy should be dragged into discussions like these, at least not in this case. No offense, but any moron can blurt out a one-liner they heard five minutes ago. It doesn't really help to get your point across. Just a piece of friendly advice.
It's definitely possible, depending on the circumstances of your break-up. If they cheated on you, or you on them, it may take quite a bit longer (perhaps even a new stable relationship on both sides) for a normal conversation to redevelop, but even then I've seen it happen. Of course, if they killed your little brother and keep his head in a jar in their room, reconciliation might be a tad more difficult.
Taking the awards too seriously: achieved.
I just learned that beach volleyball teams have captains. That's right: a team consisting of two people has a captain. Am I the only one not seeing the point?
Thanks for reading my poems!
I agree to an extent. People should always be careful of what they share with the world, but the speech patterns used in this method aren't comparable to drunken pictures on Facebook. People usually talk and write on auto-pilot, having a sort of signature language. A line has been crossed when you have to be so "thoughtful" that you should limit your usage of the past tense and/or conjunction words in order for people to not get the wrong idea. I've had that same feeling. I'm glad they weren't too keen on labeling people as "certified psychopaths", but I would at least investigate the causal link between psychopathy and speech pattern before basing any significant decisions on it.
Sheer distance would keep me from it, but it does sound cool.
Knit In The Rhythm She’s a cyclone of invisible fingerprints Dazzling through, being the finest example of motion. Shipping sensuality limb from limb: Sentiment’s children on the playground of completeness. An aurora of darklit skin knit in the rhythm. She deciphers every encrypted beat, As a gentle flail, a contagious trance. Have mercy on them, have mercy on us. But deliver your message and thrive. I’ll move aside. Comment: Some girls are just sexier than sex when they dance. ~ Fer-de-Lance I need this venom: to be loved. Shall I do what needs be done? Into your will my fangs then shoved. I need this venom to be loved: Snakebite lies in charity gloved . To truly relish what I’ve won I need this venom. To be loved shall I do what needs be done. Comment: My attempt at a triolet. A fer-de-lance is an aggressive poisonous snake. ~ Maelstrom Of Mass Some say justice is vacating this world, but I disagree. What mankind really lacks is grace. Good and evil are both abundant here, but they are practiced with the same crudeness. A sin may be forgiven but never overwritten, nor can a selfless act. And thus we become cesspools of heterogenous fact: Chaos. “Too much mass, not enough volume.†The inevitable technocratic deduction. When heaven and hell are overcrowded, They both lose their meaning. And who here can say with a straight face That they are not contributing to the problem? And yet we persist. Because we have dreams, we destroy the reality That permits us to have them. Perhaps some rights should expire upon claiming them. Perhaps society just should be that unfair. Work shifts, fall in love; Have children for all I care. Teach them to aim high, And to judge a man by his actions. Just know that nothing you do is ever innocent. Comment: Written on an insomniac whim some days ago. The spiteful tone may well be proof of that.
They're not my thing but I'm not against them per se. In fact, I think supporters for the legalization of all drugs raise a good point, which is that the government should have no say in how we treat our own health.
I drink, have been drinking since I was 16, and get drunk or tipsy at least once every weekend. I make it a point to not bother people in a drunk state: I don't pick fights, don't make a mess of things, and don't flirt with girls (admittedly, I'd do the latter if I had the self-esteem for it). I mind my own business and enjoy the evening. Of course, sometimes it gets the better of me and I do/say things I regret, but I don't think I've caused anyone to hold a grudge against me because of those actions/words. That's the criterium: don't let your drunk behaviour erase the impression they have of the sober you. Last and kinda least, I'm well aware that alcohol isn't good for my body but I don't care. I don't want to live to grow 100 by avoiding everything that's even slightly unhealthy. I believe in "quality over quantity" when it comes to my own life, and the best stories I can recall usually start with "Well, we were drunk that night and...". As long as I'm having fun poisoning myself and I don't bother anyone, no one should complain.
I never understood what's so wrong about being a "bland" normal member of society in the first place. I admit to being one, and prefer talking to them rather than goofballs who are addicted to being different. They are, which you'd notice if you stopped digging your head in the proverbial sand. I am and have been raised very differently from my cousins, despite having the same grandparents. You advocate individual differences and now you're calling out to some messiah-like person to make a difference. What the actual hell? If heterogeneity is your goal, then "someone" is who you should be hoping for.
