Objects In Space & Plantonic Collisions

Wow. February Sucks. Thank god Its over. It's a good month for very very happy songs/music and movies about people who are miserable. Really, any movie about a person who is miserable if great because you can watch it whenever you're feeling miserable and you go "Hey! I'm not alone, hurray!". It sounds bitter, I think people automatically assume 'misery loves company' is a bad thing, like it's some sort of dark omen your parents tell you before you go to sleep where the moral of the story is nothing but a whole lot of propaganda that discourages thinking and encourages unchallenged-obedience. That sentence was way too long & I apologize.

My point is, 'misery loves company' has layers of meaning. In what could be termed the 'socially popular' interpretation you have "avoid miserable people because they try to screw up your life & make you not happy". & with such an interpretation, I ask myself "Are there really that many 'evil' people?". The second interpretation I discern is that people who are miserable need company or else they'll just go on deeper into their bitter resentment of whatever it is that makes them 'a miserable person'. Third (& final for all I can think at the moment) ; Misery loves company is Misery desires understanding/intimacy. &o when you say "Hurray! I'm not alone" it doesn't necessarily have negative connotations.

Psychology has turned from 'interesting' to 'streeful'. Math has turned from 'stressful' to 'obnoxious'. School = Work hard, Andrew = Work fast...It's something I need to work on. Also: Camera, sleep, CD, Money-job... As if life wasn't mundane enough. When you strictly avoid human drama, you begin to soak it up like a sponge unintentionally.

Politics are boring. Whenever it's brought up at my house I'm the only person with my opinion and nobody can ever share anything except for their opinion(s). Opinions with facts & evidence to back them up are what make it possible to share political ideas &o when you only have opinions to share, but you don't have any kind of substantial evidence to explain why/how you feel, all you're really doing is saying what you think/feel and not WHY. Without the "why" political conversations are pointless. You might as well just be saying "I like icecream & I hate spinach.. but I couldn't tell you what spinach did, I just DON'T like it."

So many ideas, so few people to set them in motion. The Truth shall set you free, yet freedom never felt more like a cage. & BE noble.
