Jesus couldn't die in todays world without sin,
They would give him lethal ejection,
And he would sin by being really high before death,

That is how bad it is lol

Why the driver of a truck felt that need to tailgate me about half an inch from my back bumper for almost a mile when I was doing the f*cking speed limit.

Was on a 1 lane road, and coming up to a set of lights he came around me so close I was almost certain that he'd hit me, all seemingly because he wanted to get 1 car ahead in the queue.

Why do our dreams die in the presence of our nightmares? Does terror and fear hold a greater grip on our souls then all our hearts desires? If our dreams are overwhelmed with pain and that is observed, what lies in the depths of the unseen? When I dream I feel nothing but when I have a nightmare, I feel everything and I became afraid. Where is the balance? Why do we feel the bad but we never feel the good? If its good its another day, if its bad, we die inside and all we can ever hope to feel again is alright, its just another day. Fight for your dreams and you just fail that much harder in the presence of our terrors. Then we hold everlasting pain in our eyes, our dreams no longer have power over the death. And then there is nothing, in debt to terror with no hope.

Oh, great, it seems my mom has joined my dad's mentality of "If something didn't go as it should have or as I hoped it would, it must somehow be entirely dragonsanddemons's fault," with a healthy side of "If I'm in a bad mood, that's okay, I can just take it out on dragonsanddemons because she's always around and an easy target."

The thing is, until recently, my mom was the only person I could talk to and trust not to just blame me for everything (and not even in a "constructive criticism" way (although I have no doubt my dad, at least, would try to insist it is), in a "You're lazy and careless and clearly don't give a pair of dingo's kidneys about anything important"/"I wasn't there but I'm just going to assume you did something wrong and argue when you try to say you didn't do what I assume you did" way). Now I've got no one in person I'm comfortable discussing more than casual things with. And all the more reason I'm very eager to move out - it was bad enough being treated like this by one parent, now it's both. This sort of thing is why I think my parents really wish they didn't have to deal with me one way or another, even if they might feel guilty for wishing that.

When you're honest that is the risk you have to take. Better having it turn out like that instead of it ending up as a discovered lie that could have gotten you into more trouble. Honest people are braver than liars.

The only way I lie is by omission - that and saying my day was fine when it wasn't and in actuality, I just don't want to be asked a bunch of questions about it. When I can't get around discussing something serious, I steel myself and make sure I plan what to say if I just get baseless accusations screamed at me (though that doesn't always work, because I very quickly get so upset I'm incapable of stringing two words together into some semblance of a sentence). I've been dealing with this all my life, and I admit sometimes I just can't bear to endure it again, so I choose to say nothing. I have on-and-off depression and thoughts of suicide based on feeling worthless, and having such things yelled at me by my own parents only makes that worse (or come to think of it, might even be the cause).

Not really,

Its basically a sophisticated way of saying we're all F-ed.

Though some adjectives in there and question life a little and we're F-ed turns into a intelligent statement, but at its core, its we're f-ed.

Did you know that when a horse chokes it can still breathe? They can choke for hours and not die. They also lack the ability to vomit. Most of the time the blockage softens with time and goes down on it's own.








(Except for when it doesn't and the horse starts to aspirate on the saliva/foamy feed goo running back out of its esophagus every time it tries to swallow. We had the vet out; the old guy's fine now, but he got sedation and a nasogastric tube to blast the obstruction with water until it broke up and came out. Big, gross, expensive Saturday night mess.)
