My Kind of Perfect - Inspired

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ch9RBTb1oRo&feature=related


I advise you watch this video before reading what I have to say, the theme was inspired by it. A theme that is pretty common, and probably too clique for anyone to care. It's about love. Yep, probably lost any potential readers. But I'm not here to talk about how "I'm so lonely" and "why can't my knight-in-shining-armor arrive"? Nope. Instead, I would like to start off by discussing the word's tragic death. Love, what does it even mean? Well...


"An intense feeling of deep affection."
Sure.


Really?

"Feel a deep romantic or sexual attachment to (someone)."

"To get pleasure from."

Hmm...

Haha, sucks doesn't it? How are you supposed to know what someone means when they say "I love you"? Okay, that's great. Now does that you you want to marry me or am I just a hobby to you? Hopefully the latter isn't true, interests change.

But that is also clique, I could go on youtube right now and find something that talks about the over/misuse of the word 'love'.

Oh look, found one!

This has a religious twist to the issue, but the problem is real nonetheless.

This being said, I would like to get to the point, to the reason why I'm actually writing this. I would like to openly show my appreciation for people who aren't afraid to be real, in front of the world, where judgement could be passed on them. David, for instance, is willing to let his fans know that he hasn't dated anyone, which could be embarrassing to some, and that he's going to wait for "his kind of perfect." How adorable is that? Of course he could be lying to gain the respect of female minds like mine, but I find that possibility very unlikely.

I know of only a few people with this kind of confidence. It's hard to be that strong, I know that I'm not there yet, but I also know that it will be worth the struggle. Someday I hope to be there, unshakeable in my beliefs and standards. But even if I never do, I can at least be sure that I'm going to continuously get closer. Anyone want to join me? :)

Shut Up and Listen...I'm Right!

     My desire to use the title in my daily life has been continually increasing lately, I'm surprised I haven't already said it aloud by accident. It has definitely crossed my mind a few times, usually with a hint of extreme irritation. It's pretty sad though, especially since I can recognize my own fallacious thinking. I know that 'truths' cannot ever be concidered entirely true, since all of our ways of knowing have significant weaknesses. You'd think that given this I wouldn't believe so strongly that one idea has more truth than another, but my own prideful nature often overrides logic.
     Now this doesn't mean that I don't listen to opposing arguments and that I immediately reject ideas that conflict with my own. I have no problem ditching one theory for another, as long as I'm shown substantial proof. In fact, I would gladly take the side with more convincing evidence. But if I'm a part of an argument where only opinions and personal interpretations are used to prove a point, I'm sorry but I'm going to secretly think that everyone is hopelessly wrong. I don't always mean to do this, but it happens nonetheless.
     I prefer intellectual discussions where actual knowledge is used over pointless debates about who cares what.
     I know I seem pretty negative right now, which I am, so excuse me if offense is taken. But please, people, stop arguing about topics you know hardly anything about. Do a little research before you say you're right and I'm wrong. And for goodness sakes, don't make up facts like my brother does, it only increases my inflated ego that says I'm always right. I need to be humbled soon before I think I'm all powerful as well.
