Alright stop... pajama time

My roommates are fucking pathetic.

Ok, so Eminem released his new album today, which is good because Eminem is wicked. So my roommate downloaded it, and I awoke to it this morning. He played the first 4 songs off the album and is now proclaiming how amazing the album is. How can you judge an album from the first four songs, the first time you hear it? My roommate knows how.

He needs this. He knows that Eminem is “cool” and even though I’ve never heard him listen to him before, he knows that if he tells people the album is “amazing” before most people have even had a chance to listen to it, he will become “cool” in their minds. This is his window of opportunity to prove to people how “cool” he really is. Look at me, I got the album before you AND have judged it to be amazing (after 4 songs), I am pretty sure this will impress you as most people our age like Eminem, and even though I don’t, I’ll pretend to so we can have this meaningless 2 minute conversation about it, which will make me a better person for knowing something you don’t.

Listening to cool music makes you cool - Maddox

This is what my roommates do all the time. They only talk about what others want to hear. They will change their entire personality based on whomever they are talking to – especially girls. They will do anything for a girl. Not even a girl they like, just any vagina.

Now I can appreciate the “any vagina” theory when at a bar, but when it comes to some sort of sober relationship, you should at least like the person. Having a girlfriend doesn’t make you a better person. You don’t have to validate your existence by having a girlfriend. Your girlfriend is fat, ugly, annoying and has no personality. Just because you can have sex with her does not mean you should compromise your whole self to maintain it.

But they need it. It’s just a character flaw I suppose. When they have a girlfriend they are bubbling with confidence. They think that I’m really impressed that they have one, and that I should be envious of them for some reason. They exist to make themselves feel better by comparison. I guess that is true for most people, but their comparison is way out of whack. If you have to sacrifice your entire personality and lifestyle to obtain a girlfriend than go for it. If she can’t see your real self whittling away while you suppress it, then she must be your dream girl. You’ve tricked her into liking the image you have created, good luck on keeping that up for your entire life. Keep trying to impress me with meaningless shit, and keep suppressing your desires to make yourself feel better.

I just had an MSN conversation with my roommate while I was writing this.

Roommate:
Omg this album fuckin rocks I can’t believe it!

Me:
Congrats

People suck. Fake sucks. It isn't going away so quit wasting time being pissed about that when there is so much to be pissed about that actually concerns you more than how your friends suck and bottled water sucks. Shit sucks. At least do something to be pissed at yourself or someone who fucks up your program. Look at me, I suck for wasting my time telling a stranger to get over some bullshit.

Good choice with the Maddox though.

Thanks for the comments...

Pumazi, I think you are right there. Most people can realize that they are fake and have to be in order to survive, but it is only a select few that can adapt and still live a healthy life without being everyones bitch.

And to Kasie, hey you didn't waste your time, I'm glad you responded. Hey I would love to get all pissed off at how bad the world is and how things are fucked up, and I do, often. But heres the point, there isn't much you can do about it. Actually, there isn't anything you can do about it. I know, you think you can change thw world cause you saw it on a movie, but its not gonna happen. I bitch about my life because thats all I really have control of, and this is the perfect place to do it.
