As I Mature

Once again, a drought from blogging or writing anything significant, but I found something the other day that made me nod knowingly and laugh hardily. Wish I could credit the original author, but I have a feeling there are many. Enjoy!!

I've learned that you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is stalk them and hope they panic and give in.

I've learned that no matter how much I care, some people are just assholes.

I've learned that it takes years to build up trust, and it only takes suspicion, not proof, to destroy it.

I've learned that you can get by on charm for about 15 minutes. After that, you'd better have a big willy or huge boobs.

I've learned that you shouldn't compare yourself to others - they are more screwed up than you think.

I've learned that you can keep vomiting long after you think you're finished.

I've learned that we are responsible for what we do, unless we are celebrities.

I've learned that regardless of how hot and steamy a relationship is at first, the passion fades, and there had better be a lot of money to take its place!!

I've learned that 99% of the time when something isn't working in your house, one of your kids did it.

I've learned that the people you care most about in life are taken from you too soon and all the less important ones just never go away.

THE END except for:

I've learned that the same people who want strict gun control to prevent the deaths of our innocent children, are the same people who believe every woman has a right to an abortion.

I've learned that the definition of retirement should be re-tooled. Rather than stating, "to go away, retreat, or withdraw," it should say: "To take on jobs/challenges that are much more difficult and complicated than any you ever had when someone was paying you."

I've learned that in a state of conflict or danger, running and hiding doesn't work for wildlife or people. Staying in the game gives you a distinct advantage when confronting your foe or solving a problem.

I've learned that blaming other people, past politicians, your present circumstances, or the economy only works when your political party is not in office.

I've learned that writing is cathartic and everyone should express themselves on paper occasionally so they don't forget how.

Later...
