So I’m going to start early today because I inadvertently missed my post for yesterday. Long-story-short, I feel asleep and woke up at ASS CRACK in the morning. So, today I’m knocking out two of these bad boys!
The topic for entry one of this double header is fake people. Well, let me rephrase that… Not so much “fake” as, just trying too hard. I have been talking to this person, *WAIT*
***The LAST time I said I was talking to or about somebody (W.C. & Ike) I ended up getting a TON of emails and IM’s and facebook messages inquiring about who this person was, why I shouldn’t like her or why she wasn’t right for me, blah blah blah. I just would like to be clear this time around. I’m generally a pretty literal dude. So when I say I was talking to somebody, that’s EXACTLY what I mean, talking to! Not, in the colloquial sense i.e. dating, flirting, courting, or whatever… just talking i.e. conversing, exchanging ideas, communicating. So please, lets get OUT of junior high here people and as lil jon would say “Get on my LEVEL!!!”***
Now back to our regularly scheduled blog…
So I been talking to them and it seems that they try to be something that they aren’t. Pleasant, honest, and seemingly genuine (although I’m still reserving judgment on the latter), but just not real ya know. For example, have you even spoken to someone who speaks like a little kid? I mean really, like in almost a “goo-goo ga-ga” type of tone (if that even makes sense. lol) or a man that speaks overtly like he’s 15 even though he’s obviously a grown ass man. As if they are afraid of growing up. Well, that’s the type of person I'm talking about here. How does one judge the sincerity of a person that isn’t comfortable being who they are or should I say as old as they are. Now, this person has explicitly expressed a fear of getting older, loosing their youthfulness, and not being as “excited” about life as they used to be. So, this is probably just my personal opinion however, I feel like it’s a great trade off. As you get older you do loose a bit of virility, sure, but you gain wisdom, judgment; your character really starts to develop and you just become a more secure person and the piece of mind that brings, I think, is worth losing a little youthfulness.
To be fair they are a "she," at or around the “Quarter Life” mark (a term I despise by the way)! I know that makes a difference to some. People might think “Oh, well a woman at that age should be anxious. She’s supposed to be on her way to marriage, kids, a life, or whatever…” or “Well, I mean I understand where she’s coming from. I would be anxious too, I’m not old enough to be old but not a “”Spring Chicken”” any more either.” To that I would just say what’s wrong with just having wherever you are at that point in life just be ok. I’m all about setting goals, priorities and aspiring to those things but to put so much pressure on oneself that you have to almost FAKE how old you are! I mean that leads to so many other questions. IF you are acting like this, what else are you faking because you are ashamed of it or scared of the truth of it. It’s almost like she’s acting like a teenager, acting like what they think older people act like to appear older! *I’ll give you all a second with that one………………………………………..* Lastly, and most importantly, how does one know if people like this are even acting?! That is to say, I sit here and assume that nobody can really be like that or talk like that but who’s too say. Maybe these people REALLY are just this way. The really fucked up thing is, there is no way to know or find out without being offensive.

P.S. All and all this wasn’t really a blog that left much room for questions and comments I guess. However, please feel free to post your opinions and let me know what you think about the situation, people like that, or just something random that has nothing to do with this at all. Plus, if this doesn’t move you, you got one more left for the day! Ciao!
