Incite Full

So if I thought last week was rollercoasting, then this week has been a God damned trip to the top of a mountain, only to have the most massive earthquake phase shift the thing I plummet back to the earth.  I gain my footing, only to trip over a branch. That’s probably as close to what has happened to me- but hey. I have my health, right?

Mammoth was simply amazing, I had a blast with Eisha and Stephan, and when Tommy and Matt finally showed up, we had some epic times. And Matt has the scars to prove it.

Monday sucked, stressful day at work and then a car accident… Tuesday was full of meetings, and then figuring out car shit, Wednesday was equally uneventful, minus the fact that Top Chef was on and I was reminded about how silly the female species is. Which is quite a lot, I might add.

We’ll see if today is better, and if I get my hands on some sourdough bread, you bet your ass it will be.

A bit more in depth,  I understand completely how not seeing a person for two weeks can cause you to ‘forget’ about said person, but what I don’t understand is keeping that information to ones self, or not giving things an honest chance. I’m not bitter- This is exactly the way I want things to happen- meet someone, see how it goes, and then move on or stay put. Simple, right? The problems come in when both people don’t see eye to eye, or unwilling to try to do that.

I’m as guilty of that last one as anyone.

Another thing that I, too, am guilty of is the “I’m just being honest” shield.  It’s good to be honest, yes. But it doesn’t mean the other person can’t have emotion about the situation. If you say something that makes me angry, and then follow up with the dubious “I’m just being honest,” does that somehow invalidate what I’m feeling? Lets try some examples:

person1:Hey we need to talk.
person2: Ok?
person1:You’re a little bitch.
person2:… wha..?
person1:I’m just being honest!

Obviously person 2 is over reacting, I mean, honesty is good right? Well yes it is, but that’s not the point, the point is some people get upset with what you say, regardless of the truth of the statement or not.  It seems so honest, but when it’s all one can say- that you’re being honest, it doesn’t give a lot of explanation.

And while we’re on the subject, yeah, friends don’t start out passionately, I’d have to say. They can- it happens, but not often. To compliment, I’ve got enough friends in my life that I don’t need to try and make new ones- I’ll still be open and receptive if it happens, but I’m not going to go out of my way. I’m just being honest.
