"Excuses are like armpits, we all have them and they stink!"
This classic phrase form the late 90s movie 'Matila' is one I find repeating to myself almost everyday about one situation or another. People constantly come up with excuses to cover up something. This, to me, is totally annoying!
My dog ate my homework, yeah right! I'd rather go up to my teacher and tell her "Listen I just did not feel like doing it. Can I give my work in tomorrow please?" Honestly is the best policy and, just like drinking ain't the answer, so are excuses.
Excuses are totally pathetic! And make me sick! Just go up to the person and say the truth: no more, no less.
This blog is an outburst of outrage and anyone who has not yet grasepd by blogging tone should steer clear form even trying to understand this.
Aim of this blog : Don't go trying to find excuses when working with me cause you will most likely get something like the above! Not pretty!

How to be a person.....when people are not being!
Composure has always troubled me. "How should I act in this situation or in another?" I would ask myself. At a point I decided that the hell with social rules: I'll act as I wish. However, this did not work out at all. Now, I find myself constantly analyzing my every move and,even by doing this, I end up making mistakes.
The worst part of it all is when you are trust in a situation when you feel that the point of views of the people around you are simply off and too crazy for you to bear. However, at the same time up need to abide by the 'how to be rules' of society. These off-views generally make you think that these people are simply not being as they should be. It is a case that sometimes we are so fixed in our ways that we totally block out any other possibilities of thinking differently on a certain matter.
I know someone who is totally and completely against divorce. The reasons he givesfor this, for me, are totally bizzarre since I am so fixed in my view on divorce. When talking about this I find myself in a struggle with myself not to start shouting in the other person's face: 'You're crazy!'....and this has happened more than once.
So the point is, although sometimes you might feel that others are not being normal with their actions just cause they do not conform with yours, it does not mean that they are not being, it generally means that they are different and have different points of views. This element of individuality needs to be appreciated.

Blog the Blogger
My mind has always been preoccupied with various thoughts that I have always found difficult to communicate verbally. As I go through life experiences, these thoughts gradually accumulated and now I find myself with a mind full of preoccupations.
After months of attempting to comprehend what John Steinbeck meant by Curley's Wife leaning towards Lennie "in a passion of communication" I finally understand now, that no man is an island and communication plays a vital role in our everyday life. Therefore, having thoughts which are left uncommunicated can lead to a mental strain and I believe, mental fatigue.
Thankfully I live in the 21st Century and the Internet has provided a safe haven for me to release my ever uncommunicated thoughts. Burdened with these thoughts, I thought of Blogging. Will this prove to be a sollution? Frankly I don't have a clue. Will it help? I don't know either. What I do know is that I would have tried.
To be quite honest, this already feels better...............
