Terry Fox story

I have nothing to complain about in my life, so if you catch me complaining, tell me to shut the hell up.

Also, ESPN has been showing these great sports documentaries during the "30 for 30" Campaign. I highly recommend a look-see.

I've learned as of late to not be too hard on myself and to not feel sorry for people who have themselves to blame for their problems. I've learned to not feel bad anymore about being honest and saying what I am thinking out loud. And because of that, some people don't understand why I don't have more sympathy or why I don't hold my tongue. The only answer I have to that is that sometimes, it's just not worth it to worry about other people. It's a bit of a risk to speak honestly in a world where many, many, many people lie to you. You never know how people are going to react to you speaking your mind, especially if you are a women. You could come across as intimidating, rude, or just a bitch even if you have no intention of hurting someone's feelings. The funny thing is that I have found that because I don't worry about stupid stuff, I have much more empathy for people who really need it.

It's just way too tiring for me to censor myself anymore. I need to live my life for me and go after what I want.

EDIT: I'm also tired of thinking about doing things instead of doing them, so if anyone wants to go crazy and feel alive, give me a call.

I've smoked three cigarettes in my life and I don't do drugs. Drinking happens every once in awhile. I exercise relatively minimally and I don't watch hours and hours of television everyday. I fear, however, that I am addicted to the Internet. Of course, my increasing amount of time spent on this delightful time waster could be due to the fact that it gets dark around 5:30 and it is bitter cold out, or that I get bored easily and the limitless options of the Internet fuel my need to do something new every 15 minutes, but I think it is mostly something else. Myself, and the rest of the connected society have gotten so used to having the Internet, that it has become a terrible habit for a lot of us. Have some free time? Let's go look up epic rock and roll deaths. It'll only take five minutes...
And don't get me started on the monstrosity that is Facebook. I try my very best to not get sucked in. I do. But sometimes, I take a glance as to what other people are up to and I can't stop. I want to stop, believe me, but for some reason, it is difficult. Maybe the big cheeses' at Facebook Corporate use a method of mind control on the people who log in?? The thing is that 99.9% of what is posted on Facebook is useless, boring information. So why can't we help but see what BobbyJo is up to this afternoon? I wish I had an answer and some stronger willpower to delete my page and know that everything will be alright.
I feel we are a society of watchers as opposed to doers. We watch someone else do something on YouTube instead of going out and doing it ourselves. We watch movies were people seem to have exciting lives instead of going out and making our own excitement. Are there IA meetings anywhere near here?
