That i am a goddamn miserable person who puts on a front to all people in order to conform to values that I dont agree with.

That the universe doesn't give a shit about me.

That while trying to remain uncynical I am becoming more and more cynical.

That questions like this will never connect you to other people.

Let me tell you a secret, well fuck it its not a secret.

"Do you believe in god" type questions about anything like big events? THEY WILL GIVE YOU NOTHING. The reason? Because people are more important than what they believe. Ask someone about a particular event or time in their life and you will make more friends and connections that you ever will asking bullshit abstractions.

So I'm editing this and taking out some stuff that was here because it was personal and I was very drunk and depressed when I wrote it.

Suffice to say, because of the alcohol and the current state of work/family dynamics I had a bad day when I wrote this post. I'll keep the content as is except for the personal things that I really should not have written.

I ask that people who see this look at it with the introspection that we all have bad days and this one was particularly bad for me and I took it out on hubski's comment system.
