Complaining about complaining/ People

I know the title is stupid, but please, bear with me. I promise I have a point. You know those people that are hypocrites? Annoying right? A hypocrite is a hypocrite but the ones I'm talking about are the ones who complain or speak out against something that they do themselves. But He who shall not be named, isn't that the very definition of a hypocrite? Yes curious little one. *pats your head*. However, I'm not talking about the ones who say not to do something and then do it. I'm talking about those that publicly speak out against something that was public which you know for a fact that they do in private. For instance, lets take John. (Total fictional character. If your name is John, this is not about you. Or is it.....?) John is against, oh I don't know, lets say he's against giving somebody the bird. (For those innocent minds out there, yes, I do mean actually giving an animal to someone.) The thing is that John gives his friends and relatives the bird all the time. One day John is out in public and sees someone flip the bird to another. Outraged he begins to complain the rest of the day about how people shouldn't do that sort of thing to another. Yet, whats the difference in flipping off your friends and family, as opposed to some random stranger. Yes, your family/friends know you, but does that make it any more right?

Sorry for the seriousness, I was just wanting to say that for awhile. So.....to those who read this, whatever your name may be. Although your probably the people that I ask to read it, I would like to think differently because I, my friends, am an optimist. No I'm just kidding. Your not my friends I mean, come on, we just met and I don't like to rush into things.

More seriousness! Sorry. Then again, YOUR the one continuing to read, so, this is all your fault. I hope your happy. Anywho, I found something out recently. People, although their sometimes nice and fun to be around, can let you down. I know I know, you want to find all the people that ever let me down and set them aflame. Don't do that though. You can find a person and their great. Totally amazing and you just want to keep them forever, but then something happens. You move, get other friends, have a mid-life crisis, or maybe just suddenly become depressed. One time, at first, this person lets you down. It's heartbreaking and you are mad at the world (and them sometimes). You forget all about it and life is going great, things are somewhat back to normal and then BAM! Another let down. It probably wasn't even the same person. Next thing you know you start noticing the small details that probably don't really matter. They forgot this, didn't do that, did this with them and not you. Finally it gets to you. Wait. What happened to me and them? Well, that person is human. People can only give you so much strength and support before they snap. So what does that mean? It means that there's only one person that can eternally be there for you. That's God. No matter what you do, say, or even think, he's there. Oh no, religious moment. Well yeah, your right. Its not my fault that the only option some people have is God. I didn't tell him to be there, I just know that he is.

Serious moment over! Yet another thing I've been wanting to say for awhile. I've decided to start somewhat of a challenge thingy. At the end of every post, I'll start weekly and maybe end up doing it daily, I'll give you a challenge and you will have the option of doing it and hopefully commenting on how it ended up. The first challenge I'll give to you comes from a VERY close friend of mine: While at a supermarket or grocery store, whisper to someone "Trees hate you" and walk away. Well hopefully you'll tell me how it went. I'm nervous 'cause I'm going to post this on facebook. *crosses fingers* Let's see how it ends up.
