Wow these things are easy to write...
Well this is blog two of, um two. Really it is only coming into existence as an avoidance of work. I have this essay, and well...
I had a very deep conversation while waiting at the bus stop regarding the cautious art that is complaining. Several topics were discussed and I wish to add some of my own thoughts to the bucket of toes (this isn't an actual figure of speech, but I think that it could be big, just think... a bucket, full of toes! It's symbolism for toes.).
To begin, no one likes that person who is constantly happy with the world, where nothing is wrong, and a smile is their crossing-guard (if you ever watched 'Just Shoot Me' this is really funny). But seriously, who wants to listen to people who choose to spend their time rubbing you face in the beauty and perfection that is their world. You know who you are... the ones with the perfect hair, smiles, arm candy, etc. As they go skipping off to class or work you secretly wish that they would burst into flames and exercise the powers of your mind, hoping that you evil stare will cause their head to implode.
People who don't complain kinda suck and make the rest of us even more miserable in our already depressing lives. One the other hand misery loves company, more precisely, those who are miserable want to bring as many other people down in that fiery plane crash as they can. These people, as brought up in the discussion, can also be of great annoyance if they complain in a style that makes up sit up, locate the nearest pen, and start tracing you arm veins, while constantly reminding yourself that it is more effective with the flow instead of across. For those still in school this effect can also be brought on in most lectures, or for you working folk, when your boss attempts to explain why you need to come in early on you day off to work on inventory.
The constant goal of people is to feel better about themselves and escape guilt, hence, complaining is good, but only when it provides entertainment for the observing party, such as a comical anecdote or promises of food. This causes both parties to benefit from complaining.
The just of this is, if you are going to be complaining, you had better make me laugh, otherwise you can cram it, or I'll give you something to complain about.
On another note, thank you for responses, I'll be sure to make fun of you, er, I mean things that you carefully discussed in reponse to my blogs in a later tale.
The end, of this one, not for good... were you getting excited?
