PSA: i am a grain of salt

my parents constantly warn me about having a blog and a facebook. they forward/cut out articles about companies not hiring/firing employees because of stuff they read on their blog/facebook. that’s just ridiculous. this is the internet. its like a 4th dimension society, an imaginary wonderland where anything goes cuz everything goes, and all you have to do is google it. GOOGLE, people. we have Google. case in point. honestly, i don’t care what you have on your website because websites can’t hurt people any more than an obscene painting or rock and roll music. (two girls one cup was almost painful, but the reaction videos made it worthwhile.) on top of that, there are so many websites, i’m one single grain of salt in a big ass jar of salt that magically keeps growing. with rainbows. and unicorns.

my only concern is actual people i know reading the blog and giving me shit for it later. its a friggin BLOG. the whole point of it is to say things you’d never say out loud in the most public way possible, and its not like i’m not thinking it already so why does it matter if i put it on the internet? i guess it sucks if the people i know, know each other, so to avoid all this nonsense i deleted my known blog and made up this one. only one friend of mine knows this one, and that’s only because he actually appreciated the old one, and that’s always totally sweet.

(i write this because i may or may not have leaked my blog to someone i’m trying to work for, and i may or may not have blown it. )

all i gotta say is that anything i say should be taken with a grain of salt. anything anyone says should be, for that matter, and i think the world would be a lot less unpleasant if people took this into account more often.

If you ask me my major and I tell you “English,” its because I’ve prejudged you guilty of forcing me into a conversation I don’t want to have if I tell you the truth (which is Religious Studies).

Too bad you’ll never know that you should probably work on whatever it is that made me find you guilty.

Observations from my summer abroad in Nicosia, Cyprus:

  1. You aren’t supposed to flush your toilet paper down the toilet. There are little trash cans next to every toilet, and you’re supposed to toss it in there. I often “forgot,” a.k.a. passively rebelled. I’m sorry, but I am not about to put my excrement-covered toilet paper in a community poo rag bucket. That screams germy diseased contamination…and not the good kind. There were some times when I really did forget, and usually it was because I was drunk.
  2. Steering wheels are on the right side of the car, they drive on the left side of the road, and the traffic light sequence is red-yellow-green-yellow-red. Needless to say, I perpetually walked up to my ride like I was trying to seize the driver’s seat, and I almost got run over like 5 times a day. I now get very nostalgic whenever I play Frogger.

There are boundaries. Don’t blur them and be consistent. My imagination is way too active for this nonsense.

The feeling I get when I realize I touch/impact/influence someone else, no matter how deep or shallow, is probably one of my favorite feelings in the whole wide world.
