other people's lives

well, Im at work... handing out drugs like always. Just thinking about stuff.... here's what I came up with.

You know how everyone always has advice for you whenever you ask for it. I like that. "Hey bro, I was wondering what you thought about this... blah blah blah..." That's always helpful you know. But then there are the people that offer advice without being asked. You know, the person that says, "well you know, you shouldn't do it that way... what you SHOULD be doing is this." or " well that's why I never do that... because you just end up with this". "Hey, you want me to show you how to make that better?" "Well, you go with someone for 6 months, then you get engaged, then you get married, and wait 4 and 17/31 of a month and then you have a boy.... blah blah..."

I personally am tired of hearing "well its time now for yall to either get married or just go your seperate ways." Just because I have career aspirations, baggage from the past, liking having my own opinions and judgement, have a girlfriend that has her own aspirations, reasons, opinions, etc... I'm sick and f-ing tired of people that ask me "so when are yall getting married?" Is my love life the talk of town when Im not in it? Just because I'm not like every other person in this world that graduates high school, gets married, gets knocked up, sits on their keyster, has another kid, starts asking all their friends when they are getting married, so as to spread their misery and perhaps have someone in which to share their misery...???

Now don't get me wrong. I think marriage is a holy institution. I hold it in the highest regard. I have many close friends that did get married right out of high school, and they are some of the happiest people in the world (you know who you are). I pray one day that I am going to share that with my girlfriend.

I am just fed up with this stupid mentality that marriage and kids is the only thing out there. That you are defective if you aren't married and don't want to have kids. "You.... you... aren't married?? You don't want to have kinds?!? Travel?? You'll just be to far from your family. What are you running from? Everything is right here!

Please quote me on this... Anymore questions about marriage, or any more advice on packing or leaving, or anything having to do with MY life... let me repeat that, MY LIFE, and someone's going to get their lips punched off!! hahaha

**stepping off of soap box**

I am having a great day at work... I just gave someone enough drugs for three people, and they took it like a shot of patron. I love this job... sometimes... ha

See you tonight pretty late, Snyder...

cheers
