Impatience

This always seems to happen. And by 'always', I mean each time I try to start this blog up again, so I guess 'always' can't really apply to a thing that has only happened twice. Well, actually, I guess it can, but it's misleading. But I digress. Whenever I try to do this blog, I post my thing and then immediately afterwards I have a new idea. And I feel weird putting it up right after my other post, so I try to wait a while, but then I don't know how long to wait before I post another thing. This is the whole reason I started writing out my posts out beforehand, because I came up with ideas that I wanted to write about, but I had already posted something and I decided I couldn't do two things a day. Like, what's the etiquette on a blog? I've got no idea. I guess since it's my blog, I could make up the etiquette, but I feel like that would inevitably fail at some point. Like, yeah, sure putting up two posts a day is a faux pas, oh no! Who cares? But if I extend my "It's my blog, I can do what I want" attitude to other things, I could totally get booted off of blogger.

Actually, that's an interesting idea. Because a blog is supposed to be a place where you can share what you want to share with whoever feels like reading it, but there is always a limit. Just like there's always some sort of limit on free speech. And the boundary between what's allowable and what's not seems to be really annoyingly ill-defined. Which brings us (or me, if we want to be realistic) to the idea of where freedom has to end for society to continue as we know it. Because America always touts itself as "The Land Of The Free", and other countries put forward their freedoms as major parts of their society, but in this imperfect world that we live in, no one can be totally free. Because if everyone was totally free, it would be chaos! So even in America (or, depending on your view, especially in America), which has all these claims to freedom, people are restricted in so many ways. And with good reason (in most cases. In some cases I think the government is being ridiculous), because if we weren't limited by laws (because that's what laws are, essentially; things that tell us what we can and can't do, ie. limits to our freedom) people would go around stealing and killing and doing all kinds of horrible things.

Yeah, I'm a liberal, but I'm also an realist! Actually, I'm more of an realist than a liberal, because I'm kind of crap at politics, but I do have an opinion on real world things, where realism is more applicable than liberalism. So, yeah, it would be nice to live in world where everybody can do whatever the fuck they want, but that's not feasible. Because, along with being a liberal and a realist, I'm a cynic and a skeptic and a bit of a misanthrope (I think that, in general, people are stupid and they suck), and I think that people will, in general, do whatever is in their best interest, and if they are allowed to harm others for their own gain, I think a lot of people would choose that path. Not that I'm saying that everybody in the world is a horrible person, just that people in general are horrible. Like, humans have the capacity for great good, and people like to focus on that, and I guess if you were an optimist you would, but I can't. Or, at least, most of the time I can't, because sometimes I'm incredibly optimistic and can think of all the good things that people could do, but those moments are fleeting.

And now I have no idea how to end this post. Because it's really just been me ranting about whatever the hell I feel like talking about, which has been nice for me, but I have no idea what you've thought about it (as if there's anyone reading this). And I feel like if I end with my "I'm a misanthrope and people generally suck" thing, it'll be a downer, and I never really want to end on a downer. Unless it's a well crafter downer, which can actually be really nice. But this isn't one of those. It's just, "people suck and the world sucks, hooray". But, seeing as I can't think of anything, I leave it up to you to lighten your own mood. Go listen to some upbeat music, or watch something funny. Stand-up comedy, a sitcom, whatever you prefer. I always enjoy watching outtakes, because no matter what, they're almost always funny. But yeah, don't focus on the bad things in life. That's just a good way to get depressed.
