Things that make me go..."WHY WHY WHY?!?!?!"

I started this blog with the intention of filling it with nothing but positivity, but today, I just feel like letting out some pent-up negativity. Such is the unavoidable duality that is life, no point in ignoring it. I'm sorry Mr. Lennon, I'll go back to being positive tomorrow. Now, I'm going to make a list of things I do not appreciate.

1. Being treated disrespectfully - Do I really need to expand on this one? I think it's the least we can do for each other, show a little bit of respect. I don't care is someone does not like me, love me, want to date me or want to hang out with me, but I do care about being treated and spoken to in a respectful manner.

2. People who don't value friendships or connections - I've never been one for burning bridges; I just don't believe in it. Human connections are more valuable than anything in the world. If we actually manage to connect with someone, I believe that we should nurture that connection, not cut it off on a whim. I'm still on speaking terms with all my ex boyfriends because I believe in that principle. As for friendships, I'm an only child so I've always been very close to my friends. I've never actually "stopped being friends with someone" because of differences. Yes, I've fallen out of touch with people due to distance, but I've never intentionally cut people off. I'm no longer in touch with some friends from college because of misunderstandings and people just being too immature and hypocritical to resolve conflicts, and that's so against my character that it bothers me to no end. Do friendships and memories really mean so little to these people? How was I ever friends with them?

3. Getting news a day too late - WHY do I always find out things when it's just a little too late to do something about it? WHY WHY WHY??????

4. Having to fight multiple wars - Why is it that when something starts going wrong, EVERYTHING ELSE does too? For a while now, I feel like I've been fighting multiple wars on multiple fronts. Things just seem to be going south one after another. Hitler couldn't do it. Napoleon couldn't do it. How am I supposed to be able to do it? Seriously Universe...next time you want to throw some lemons my way, please...one at a time. I've been knocked unconscious by a lemon into a vat of lemonade and am drowning.

5. The need to have Facebook and YouTube on a phone - I just don't understand it. I use both Facebook and YouTube, but is it really necessary to update your Facebook status while you're out? Is it really necessary to take a picture and then upload it right away and then start reading the comments that people make and comment back while out interacting with other people? As for YouTube, do I REALLY need to see the video of someone doing something stupid bordering funny RIGHT AWAY? I mean, you can just tell me about it and then send it to me later. That way the next day, I'll watch it and then I'll think about you and the fun we had. But no, I'll be made to watch it while out at a bar or something. Are our conversations skills that bad these days that we have to kill 4 minutes watching a video to make the time go by? You're out with another human being! Get off the internet and interact before you lose the human touch!

6. Religious fanatics and intolerant people - Jesus tried to spread a message of love. As did every other religion. Stop killing each other. You're not better than me and I'm not better than you.

7. The Economy/Job Market - I don't think I need to expand.

8. Twilight - It's just bad and annoys me. I'm a fan of the Vampire Chronicles, where vampires act like vampires, not pathetic teenage losers. Not to mention it's just badly written, the worst piece of prose in the English language I've ever come across.

I'll stop at 8. I think I've ranted enough. Though I have to say, life has got to stop throwing punches at me for now. I'm winded.
