|
|
|
So I've always wondered what there was about life that seems to
|
|
make it so special for people.
|
|
|
|
This isn't one of those "God, I hate life, I want to die, life is
|
|
worthless!" texts, though, so don't get me wrong.
|
|
|
|
I've heard many different philosophies on life... unfortunately,
|
|
the one that seems to apply to me the best is "live for the weekends".
|
|
|
|
Live for the weekends? What kind of unfulfilling crap is that?
|
|
I'd like to see a big finale at the end of life. But it seems you toil
|
|
your life away waiting for nothing grand but death. And death is grand?
|
|
Suuuuuurre... maybe YOU think so. I don't. I'd like to see some amazing
|
|
thing happen that shows me that all i have done in life isn't in vain.
|
|
|
|
So what could there be that would give me the gratification and
|
|
satisfaction of leading a happy, healthy life that has given me something
|
|
to show for all my years of surviving my thrust-upon-me existence?
|
|
(run-on sentence, sorry.)
|
|
|
|
Children, that's what. Children (YOUR children) are definitely
|
|
worth it. No matter the screaming, moaning, bitching, ungratefulness that
|
|
are the hallmark of children (I still disagree with you, Tasha.
|
|
Selfishness and ingratitude is born, not bred, they just have to grow out
|
|
of it), it's still all worth it. Watching them grow up and pass through
|
|
the different phases of life that you yourself have been through. It's a
|
|
wonderful feeling to be able to sit back and think to yourself "I was
|
|
there. I understand how he feels, the amazement he must be experiencing,
|
|
the awe and wonder at the diversity of this world and it's individual
|
|
societies and cultures..."
|
|
|
|
...and then he starts bawling. Three month olds care little about
|
|
anything but being fed, having a dry/clean diaper, and being entertained
|
|
when they want to be. It's really aggravating and dually frustrating to
|
|
have a child screaming incessantly in your face nearly 16 hours a day, but
|
|
when they quiet down and look at your with their awe and wonder, and their
|
|
eyes roll up in the back of their head (which means they're finally going
|
|
to pass out in the next ten minutes) and they get that little half-smile...
|
|
it's all worth it.
|
|
|
|
Albiet the fact that I am a young father (19) and my son has a
|
|
pretty young mother (18, 17 when he was born), don't ever let people tell
|
|
you it's too early to have a child. If it's thrust upon you because of
|
|
your own stupidity and carelessness (USE FUCKING BIRTH CONTROL, GODDAMMIT,
|
|
OR DON'T HAVE SEX AT ALL, TRUST ME, I KNOW), make the most of it!
|
|
|
|
Guys, if you think that a kid is going to destroy your life, you
|
|
may be right. But like I heard Adam Corolla (from LoveLine) say the other
|
|
night, all you have to do is "do just a little bit less of the things you
|
|
like to do, and a little more of the things you don't like to do, and your
|
|
life will change drastically".
|
|
|
|
Girls, same applies. Don't have abortions unless you're
|
|
poverty-stricken and live in the gutter. If you know you can raise a
|
|
child on what you make, DO IT. Give your kid a chance. I used to be an
|
|
incredible population-control freak, but after having a son of my own, I
|
|
couldn't ever think of abortions and adoptions the same way again.
|
|
|
|
Whatever... I'm not preaching, just speaking my mind.
|
|
|
|
And don't ask me why I decided to write this while at work... just
|
|
seemed like something better to do then write code all morning.
