These people make my butt tired...

I just love people who choose to remain ignorant. Don't know the situation? Well, make shit up!!! No clue what's going on? Improvise!! Bored with your own dreary life? Liven it up with lies, unfounded rumors and conspiracy theories! And last but not least, when making a choice, be sure to blame someone else if that choice doesn't pan out to your liking!!! These are the things that make disgruntled, bitter people feel better about their lot in life.

We all make choices. And we have to live with whatever we choose. The path we take is no one's decision but our own. Make the wrong choice? Then do something about it! You can change anything. If you screw up, try and fix it. Don't blame someone else for your bad decisions. I find it baffling when people try to find someone else to blame for their unhappiness.

I'm sorry...I chose not to blindly jump off a cliff like a demented lemming. I chose to follow my heart and my gut after careful consideration and talking to all parties involved to get as much information as I possibly could. I chose to remain in my comfort zone after being told to make up my own mind and not base anything on the decisions of others. Apparently, that was the undoing of what I felt was a true friendship. These particular friends define friendship as follows....

* You can be my friend but only if you think exactly like me

* You can be my friend but only if you follow me blindly, no questions asked

* You can be my friend but only if you like the same people I do and of course hate anyone I hate

* You can be my friend if you pledge undying allegiance and always remember I made cookies for you. If I bake for you, you owe me.

* You can be my friend but only if you follow certain conditions that I put forth. These conditions may be changed at any time without prior notice

* You can be my friend only if you follow the above guidelines and any others my irrational mind comes up with

So, after careful consideration, I have decided to NOT be your friend. I have friends who love me unconditionally despite my many quirks and flaws. They accept me for who I am and the great thing about them is this....our friendship has no rules!! What a freakin' AWESOME concept!!!

You should try it sometime.
