Lady, You Really Aren't "Crazy"

carleighj:

“What men mean when they talk about their “crazy” ex-girlfriend is often that she was someone who cried a lot, or texted too often, or had an eating disorder, or wanted too much/too little sex, or generally felt anything beyond the relm of emotionally undemanding agreement. That does not make these women crazy. That makes those women human beings, who have flaws, and emotional weak spots. However, deciding that any behavior that he does not like must be insane-well, that does make a man a jerk. And when men do this on a regular basis, remember that, if you are a women, you are not the exception. You are not so cool and fabulous and levelheaded that they will totally get where you are coming from when you show emotions other that “pleasant agreement.” When men say “most women are crazy, but not you, you’re so cool” the subtext is not, “I love you, be the mother to my children.” The subtext is “do not step out of line, here.” If you get close enough to the men who say things like this, eventually, you will do something that they do not find pleasant. They will decide you are crazy, because this is something they have already decided about women in general.”

I suppose like others
I have come through fire and sword,
love gone wrong,
head-on crashes, drunk at sea,
and I have listened to the simple sound of water running
in tubs
and wished to drown.

From his final posthumous book. Old buk, saying good stuff even from beyond the grave.

holy crap. in less than 2 months, i’m going to have a baby. i’m constantly going back and forth between “hurry up and get here!” and “stay in there! I’m not ready yet!”

either way, i’m excited and terrified all at once. if i had to pick one thing as the most empowering thing i’ve ever done, this would be it. so many activities and people that used to make up my life seem trivial now, and i have no choice but to keep looking forward.

the waste of words
continues with a stunning
persistence
as the waiter runs by carrying the loaded
tray
for all the wise white boys who laugh at
us.
no matter. no matter,
as long as your shoes are tied and
nobody is walking too close
behind.
just being able to scratch yourself and
be nonchalant is victory
enough.
those constipated minds that seek
larger meaning
will be dispatched with the other
garbage.
back off.
if there is light
it will find
you.

Me: “Can you do me a favor?”
Patrick: “Sure, what?”
Me: “Stop by Kroger and buy some chocolate ice cream and a bag of mini marshmallows. I need to mix them together. Get good chocolate ice cream if they have it.”
Patrick: “What if it already has marshmallows in the ice cream?”
Me: “No. That won’t work. I need fresh marshmallows mixed into chocolate ice cream.
— i’m craving cold stone creamery’s rocky road trip something fierce right now!

i am so excited that in 3 short months I will be able to see this face in person, and kiss those precious cheeks.

why is it when people hate something that’s popular, or go against general public opinion, they feel the need to go on and on about it? you hate “insert popular show here” and don’t understand why everyone else enjoys it? maybe it’s just not for you, no big deal. here’s your cookie and some cool points for going against the grain - now run along.

now i understand that some people may find it annoying on a certain night of the week to see people post about a tv show, or a sporting event, or what have you. but really in the grand scheme of things, is it that big of a deal? are you unable to sleep at night because you are so bothered by something that brings joy to other people? i feel like some people search out trending topics just so they can post about how different they are.  if you don’t like something, then don’t do it. don’t try to make other people feel bad for doing it. (this applies to abortion, gay marriage, tv shows, music, sports, movies, drinking, having kids, getting married, and just about everything else that involves personal choice.)

my point is - like what you want to like and understand that we all have different interests. and yes, i see the irony in me complaining about people complaining. i just don’t care. i think everyone should shut up and just be happy.

look guys, just be happy, okay? it’s a choice. everyday you wake up and DECIDE how to feel. that’s not to say unhappiness is always unwarranted, but don’t let yourself be sad/stressed/angry/negative for too long. feel it, accept it, move on. every single day, until the day you drop dead, there will be things to be unhappy about and there will be things to be happy about. where you look, what you focus on, is all up to you. so whatever you are feeling right now, take a long look in the mirror and accept that the only person or thing making you feel that way is YOU.
