There are very few of us who are selfaware. Many times in life I have seen people who I known are extroverted think of themselves as introverted and vice versa. We don't see ourselves like others see us usually. If you were to ask someone to describe you I would think you would get many different responses. The truth is we are complex, yet some of us are very simple. The most simple people think themselves to be more interesting than they actually are, and the interesting people usually tend to not think of themselves as anything special. why is this? These are just some of the things that keep me up at night.

I will never be able to totally satisfy someone's needs, no one will be able to satisfy mine. The idea of soulmates is sold to us in the form of easy-to-digest pop music, romantic comedies, and masturbatory selfhelp books. They teach us that there is this "special" person out there and (in the case of When Harry Met Sally) they might just be RIGHT THERE in the form of a friend of yours. Unfortunetly, this is hardly ever the case. IF you do happen to make any friends in this life, chances are your feelings for them might be stronger and even if there are mutual feelings, chances are it wont last. No life isn't like When Harry Met Sally, it's more like My So-called Life and you are Brian Krakow, in love with the cute friend while she goes for the dumb cute guy who can't even read.

I suppose I have high standards with people too. Way too many to list, and I seriously doubt I will meet someone who fulfills all those things. The best I can hope for is that I can find someone who fills alot of those requirements and they could stand to be around me for more than a few minutes. Really, it's all I ask for.

MostlY I see people, they think they're in love but no, theyve just modeled their relationship like Chandler and Monica, or Harry and Sally. They are given these examples in popular culture and they follow it because the guy thinks the girl wants "that kind of guy" and the girl thinks she should act like the women on the movie as well.

She listens to John Mayer because he's a hottie and she feels his saying "her body is a wonderland" is some sort of deep, breathtaking revelation. SHe gets all excited for him but he's just trying to sell some records. If he wasn't a prettyboy I wonder how well he would sell and how many women he would creep out. Well it didnt creep out Jess Simpson, did it? He's a hell of a guitar player, I'll give him that. Same with women pop singers. I would love someday to see some 400 pound woman with no clothes on at the MTV awards. PLEASE GIVE ME THIS!

It's fake love, I wish I could be Chris Martin and tell you the stars are all yellow and you would love me. If only it was that simple. And we would have a child called Apple, right?

None of the bands I get excited for ever get any airplay. It's a combination of a few things 1)not pretty enough 2)not radiofriendly 3)marketing.

They all play it safe, the media isn't going to change, we will constantly be told that love will keep us together, don't stop believing, and if our relationship hits that point where we don't talk anymore, it's because "more than words". That song is total bs, its a way to justify a sour relationship. "OH! we don't need to talk anymore..its MORE THAN WORDS!!!"

yes, maybe I am bitter, I decided to listen to the radio and see some tv, now I remember why I don't do that that often. I want something a bit more real but our lifes are run by these fake examples.

At the same time I have issues with hipsters and those who complain just because something is popular.

I like what I like because it actually speaks to me, there are a few bands/movies, etc.. I like that happen to have found an audience. I think those things usually transcend the mainstream. but to dislike something just because it's popular is beyond retarded. Plenty of underground music is just mindless droning crap also. Look further, you will find bad music everywhere, in every genre. Look even further, you might find something worthwhile. The point is....look further. Further than what is right in your face, research is an awesome thing, knowledge is a great thing, you might surprise yourself.

I don't like hipsters because they tend to be a little too selfimportant, we all have our faults so it's pointless, oh and Karl Marx will probably not like you and Che will possibly have you killed. Fun, huh!?!

Spending tons of money to look poor is beyond stupid as well. Black and milds smell bad, and it helps to have an open mind about media as well. Like I mentioned, there is so much bad stuff out there, it's dumb to suddenly dislike a band who actually gets big, unless they've changed just to get a bigger audience. I usually can find something good lyrically or otherwise in music, I like a lot of "bad" movies, tons of fun, definetly.

I don't like Chris Martin.

Cris on
I've read this entry like 2 or 3 times, before. It's my favorite. I really like what you have to say. I think we have the same beliefs on love. It's crazy who knows maybe you and I are soulmates haha (I only say that bc it seems like u dont believe in that bs neither do i) I think this quote from gilmore girls says it all "All we want is someone to hang out with until we drop dead. Not a lot to ask" It kind of describes the way i see it too.
