For goodness sake, people. Why do people feel the deep burning need to segregate singles and couples on Valentine's day. Single people, this day is not a day for you, and you should respect that and be happy for the couples in your life. Seriously. Jews don't throw a hissyfit on Christmas and declare JEWISH AWARENESS DAY. Just let the people whom the holiday was meant for (couples), enjoy it. It clearly isn't aimed at single people so get over it and if you're THAT determined to get some attention, be your own valentine. Sheesh. ♥

So, I just finished watching Final Destination 5. 
Movies like that scare the ever loving crap out of me. Why? Because you can't fight back against accidents. 
But have you ever thought about cheating death? Or ever even noticed if you had or not?
The Final Destination series is based off the ideal that if you "cheat death" by surviving some major disaster that you weren't supposed to survive, death will come back for you, one way or another. 
I was watching it, thinking, "Ha. At least none of this terrible stuff will happen to me because I haven't cheated death." 


But man, I've actually cheated death a lot.
A perfect example is my car accident last October. I mean, I hit another car, head on, going 50 mph. And I walked away without even a minor scratch. I wasn't even sore the next day. I would call that cheating death. I've also fallen off of/out of moving vehicles onto asphalt, I was in tae kwon do for 10 years, I went into severe anaphylactic shock when I was 12 or 13 because I was stung by a wasp, I've fallen off of bulkheads into choppy dangerous water and had my legs trapped between rocks and glass, I've choked on numerous occasions (but managed to dislodge the item myself), and I've had several brushes with sketchy individuals who I'm sure meant me harm. But, here I am. 


Maybe some people are just better at cheating death than others.

My whole entire last 3 months of my life can be summed up with these song lyrics. Down to every word.
I don't understand why I'm so threatening to people around me, to the point that they feel like they need to undermine me, and frame me, and lie to get me in trouble. I don't understand why I'm such a threat to people. 
Maybe I make them realize their flaws. 
Or maybe they're just lazy, and my hard work makes them uncomfortable.


Or maybe they're just jealous.
LYRICS:


"Don't blink,
They won't even miss you at all
And don't think,
That I'll always be gone.

You know i've got you,
like a puppet in the palm of my hand,
don't you let me down.

So run like hell,
sleep with one eye open.
You can forgive or forget.
You will tell everyone the damage done.
Too bad you can't stop me.
You can't stop me now.

I'll be there just to watch you fall.
So don't push me,
I've got nothing to lose.

There I go again,
I mean it's so damn hard,
to come back from the mess that you've made.
I told you so.
You're a snake and I confess,
Just use your head.

I'll be there just to watch you fall.
So don't push me,
I've got nothing to lose.

Don't blink,
They won't even miss you at all.
And don't think,
That I'll always be gone.

You know I've got you
like a puppet in the palm of my hand,
don't you let me down.

Everybody's out to get me.
Any moment could be my last.
This is it,
You can take it or leave it.
Will you run? I will stand on my own two feet

JUST BREATHE."

- I'm Made of Wax, Larry, What are You Made Of? by A Day To Remember.

You know what sucks? Liars.
You know what sucks? Being lied to.
You know what sucks? Letting them get away with it.
You know what sucks? Reality.

Well, here we are again. I just got off work, and let me tell you, the medical field is intense. So I'm pretty tired. 


There was a tornado heading in the direction of my pharmacy and the PIC (Pharmacist in Charge) and I were discussing our plan in case it hit the pharmacy. Here's how it went:


Me: Where are we going to go if it hits us?
Him: The bathroom.
Me: All eight of us are NOT gonna fit in that bathroom.
Him: Fine. We'll leave you behind the medicine counter. You're young, you can dodge debris.


If you knew him, you would know that was hilarious. But you don't, so don't go suing my pharmacy about endangering my life just yet - because I know you love me that much.


Come to think of it, I don't love any of my friends enough to file a lawsuit for them.


Maybe my cat.
Maybe.

Let's get this ball rolling, shall we.


You know what my generation has down to an unholy science?


Reproduction.


Yeah, at least half of the teenagers on my facebook friends list are pregnant. Um, last time I checked, if you can't even spell pregnancy - you probably are not well equipped for parenthood. Just saying. Everywhere. Everywhere I turn. I see 14 and 15 year olds posting about how they "just want a baby, so SOMEONE will love them."  


Uhh, here's a wild assumption. If you assume that a baby is just gonna be born and insta-love you, then, again...you're probably not ready to have to raise one. It's like teenagers think you can just pop out a baby and all is well. BABIES ARE PERMANENT. You can't just get rid of a baby if you decide you don't want to take care of it anymore. It's not a puppy. You can't just be like "loloops" and forget it somewhere. A baby is a lifetime of commitment and hard work. You can't just have a baby and expect to still be a teenager.


And seriously, there's no such thing as an "accidental teen pregnancy". There was no accident involved. A boy didn't slip and fall onto a girl who just HAPPENED to be naked at the time and BOOM. INSTA-BABY. Two, irresponsible teenagers, were irresponsible. And the girl ended up pregnant. If you're not responsible enough to take every precaution available to NOT get pregnant, then don't take a risk. And if you DO take that risk, and you get knocked up - then, sweetheart, you weren't responsible enough to use protection, so you're not responsible enough to raise a child. 


Now, I understand that raising a baby is difficult for a teen. Difficult for anyone really. But, abortion is not the answer. Seriously, adoption folks.


And also, if you're not responsible enough to take precautions. Don't risk it.

This whole blog designing process took much longer than it should. I was ready to start posting like an hour ago, but I had to finish designing this thing so that it would be pleasant to the eye. Because being pleasant is everything, right~?


Anyway. Since I detest Tumblr, and refuse to get sucking into it's internet undertow, I made this. A journal of rants, if you will. I will try to sprinkle as much humor as possible into my everyday experiences and opinions, but let me just say: I'm going to be blunt. 


If you know me, you know that I am brutally honest, and I don't sugarcoat things. But I'm not generally mean. I'm not mean at all, actually. I just like to find humor in the idiocy of society today. Basically, this is going to be a journal for me to rant about things that "grind my gears".  Whether or not anyone enjoys them or not, that's purely subjective.
