Under normal circumstances, I would have a nice calm post, but unfortunately, this is not one of those times. One of my New Year's resolutions is to not hold anythign back. For the most part, I am empathic and sympathetic. More recently, my disgust for current events is making that rather difficult. So in 2013, I'm fucking done with it. I'm going to say what's on my mind. If that upsets you, feel free to tell me why it upsets you and I will probably apologize, if I'm in a good mood.
Life is just too short for me to go pussy footing around anymore. It's been tiring and it's caused me nothing but grief.
More recently, my partner and I went through a rough patch (not relationship) but job and financial wise. Long story short, we're getting evicted out of the place we currently rent. I had made a few calls and online requests to individuals I thought were my friends. One of those that responded refused and gave the reason why, stating some really nasty (not sexually, but personal) things about my partner. I in no uncertian terms, told the "friend" to f'off and that if that was the attitude they were going to take, I didn't need them as a friend. (Mind you, I'm known this person a hell of a long time and we have worked together on several occasions!) Another friend who responded, was also not happy with my partner, but still offered.
Why in our society are we still hung up on this PC crap? Because it really is crap. We come up with excuses for being nice to people we don't like just because they might get their feelings hurt. (Now in some circumstances, being PC is perfectly acceptable, especially when it is directed at someone who cannot defend themselves, like children or those with physical or mental disabilities.) The whole PC thing has turned our society into a lawsuit happy, give me money because you hurt me emotionally and I'm fucking sick and tired of it.
Ok. So here is the deal that I am making with all of those who watch me. I will give respect and honesty at all times. If this is a problem, ask yourself very simply if you wish to continue being my friend. If not, let me know and drop yourself off my watch list, instant message or social networking site. I'll understand. If you have an issue with who I choose to be with, let me know first and I will then have you contact my partner. If you wish to "punish" me because who I choose to be with, do us both a favor and fuck off! If you can agree to the terms, I would expect honesty and respect from you as well and things will continue to move forward like they are doing now.
If you wish to comment on this post with your thoughts, please do so. Comments must be inciteful and respectful, like I just stated above. Failure to do so will just piss me off, and I really don't want to go there.
