The Short Stik
I dun think ice lure,
But when ice peak,
None seem tonderstand.
Whachu sayin they ply.
In eye repeat.
Buddies till confused.
Ice low it down,
My clear?
Buddies till not aunt sermon me.
Ice steam clearing my head.
But I no my make cents
If instead of herring per faction
Ewe glisten to me
With oh pioneers
Not in toll rants.

Discovery IV
(Note, the title sounds like a space ship)
I honestly do not know why I am entitling this one as part of the Discovery series (...actually who am I kidding calling these rants parts of series), but I did and I am not looking back (because I would not be able to see the computer screen anymore...oh yeah, it is one of these posts). So I am genuinely going to write more in this, (scratch genuinely, substitute "try" and reorient the sentence to make sense ) since I am jobless currently ( and for once I am not happy about this fact ) and have a lot of downtime to fill in my lackadaisical life of lethargy.
Okay, so this is Discovery IV (because we couldn't discover it the first three times). I am like searching through my brain (Which I imagine to be like a library with very little books on the shelves) for something (not to be confused with anything) to say. But alas, I cannot even think of one thing at all. Perhaps my mind is racing too much (and losing, my mind is more of a long distance runner anyway) and I just cannot focus it on one thing or "discovery" as I so aptly (not so aptly named this entry.
Alright, I have discovered (that sounds more profound that it actually is, in fact I am just making this on the spot ). Humans go to extreme lengths (I wonder why not widths ) to prove a point that does not need to be proven more often than not. Por ejemplo, let us set up an imaginary scenario, where a samurai (Did I fail to mention we are in Japan?) and we want to show our honor, courage, and loyalty. Thus, as the norm in the time ( by the way we are in the 1200s ) the samurai takes his life ( out on a date for coffee and a movie ... okay that was lame I apologize) through the ancient ritual of Seppuku, or Hara-Kiri( Take your pick, it is the same thing). What is the purpose of this cultural compliance and conformity ( Point one for alliteration ). So if that is the reason, solely because others were doing it at the time, ridiculous. However, if there is a true belief that this is how to show these traits that one possesses, that is a bit redonk (technical term) if you ask me.
But to modernize the problem, people will do crazy shit to prove a point (yelling is a major one). It seems like "What you are on the computer all the time, I'm going to give you a virus!" is a normal solution to problems. Or perhaps, you stole my cookie, I shall never speak to you again until a cookie (of equal or greater taste value) is placed in my hand for my consumption. People need to relax, and realize some points are moot. Some points need not be made. Who cares if someone took a swig of milk straight from the container, that does not mean you go and pour cyanide in it to make the point that that is gross. I mean, these are obtuse (not scalene or equilateral) examples which also toy (Not made by Mattel) around with the idea of revenge, but the point is (I don't really have a point) these extreme proofs and revenge techniques are redonk (see, really is a technical term).
There is the opposite where a person will become so false with themselves and another person (I am reminded of a decoy from Toejam and Earl for Sega genesis) that they, by attempting so hard to prove a point, actually miss the point completely. Por ejemplo (otra vez, a person will be oh so nice to someone to prove that they do in fact, like the person, but become completely fake that they laugh at unfunny jokes (like everyone who has laughed at this italics thus far). Now, this other person believes that you share a similar humor, when in fact you do not, and now your entire friendship or "niceness" (What?) is built off of lies, and the faux friendship will sink (HAHA lame pun).
Anyway, I am done rambling for now, that is my discovery. It ties in the ideas of revenge, falsity, and attempted point provers, all into one neatly wrapped present (which Santa cannot just fit down the chimney).
Enjoy the day!

The sorting hat says that I belong in Hufflepuff!
Said Hufflepuff, "I'll teach the lot, and treat them just the same."
Hufflepuff students are friendly, fair-minded, modest, and hard-working. A well-known member was Cedric Diggory, who represented Hogwarts in the most recent Triwizard Tournament.
Take the most scientific Harry Potter
Quiz ever created.
No idea why I did this, but I did ... and I am in Hufflepuff ... I do not even read Harry Potter but I am proud to be a part of Hufflepuff ... I guess ...

The World
I guess I just want to rant a little bit, or as I have started to say recently, a likkle bit. I think I heard it in Calabria and then started using it ever since. Regardless, I found that people are naturally not gullible. Actually, it is not as simple as that, because people tend to be gullible on a lot of other things, however, when it comes to more serious things, people are not gullible at all.
Why is it, when people say something such as, "Hey, you're physically attractive," and do not say, "Who says that? This is an unrealistic example," because someone said it to me on the boardwalk of Ocean City so HA! Anyway, when people say things like this, people have a terribly difficult time believing them. It is seemingly impossible to find someone, except for people who are described as "arrogant" to be like, "hey, you know what, I actually kind of am." Yet, we look down upon people who accept compliments, saying, "Oh, look, he is so cocky knowing he is good looking." If the person is attractive the person is attractive. If you are thinking, yeah she actually is attractive, or he is good at tennis, and then they know it, how is that wrong of them to admit? Perhaps they are not humble, but not being humble does not just mean arrogance. Perhaps they just are confident, the fine line that splits the two. Regardless, this is not the meaning of this post.
So, people say things all of the time, "I like you," "What you did was fine," "I am okay, truly," and yet people say, "No you are not.", as if people continually tell lies upon lies to everyone. It is weird to see people who you are actually friends with too deny things like, "You cannot possibly feel like that, tell me the truth." I just think about it for a bit and just cannot comprehend why I would lie to begin with. You ask me "How are you" or "What is your opinion of this" or "Do you hate me?" and I answer. I do not care if it is opposite of what you thought my answer would be, just trust the fact that I have no reason to lie to you. If I am feeling shitty, have confidence that I am going to say it. I understand this world is lacking communication, but it is perhaps because we do not care enough to believe people anymore. Perhaps it just frustrates me, because I trust everything a person says, and also expect that in return. I also believe I have no reason to lie and thus always tell the truth, and when someone things that I am not telling the truth, it frustrates the crap out of me.
This ties in with do not assume something about me either. I am complicated as an individual like any other unique person on this earth. Sometimes I react differently than you would, or you think I would. Sometimes I shock myself. The only thing you can do is if you assume something and it is wrong, accept that you were wrong and do NOT fight me saying that I cannot possibly feel that way or think like that. I understand sometimes it is hard to be like, "Oh, okay, well that is not what I was thinking," because some situations are just very difficult to comprehend. People are enigmas. We live in a mysterious world. And nothing seems constant or predictable.
Start trusting your fellow human. If they lie to you, it is their problem because it very difficult to live a life full of lies, and a way to make someone live freer and richer is by telling people the truth.
I have no idea if this makes any sense, it was a rush of emotion I had to write down. I apologize to the readers and my future self when I re-read this and think to myself, "Why, that made no sense. Good job past me." Smile.
