Honesty

To be honest, I saw one of my friends (Tony) do this, and I figured that I should follow him.
What can I say, somethings are worth leading on your own and others are worth following someone.

Some people do this so that they can tell others what is going on in their lives. I do this because its a simple exercise in a form of expression I have come to adore. So if you care, great, if you don't bugger off. Its rather simple.

I read something from one of my favorite musicians and it simply...tickled...me. Actually, it made me really think about alot of things about myself and the world, this reality, I reside in, and I began to just see so many things, so many things wrong. Call this an existential conundrum of sorts.

What I noticed, through facebook's status updates is that people whine all too often on their status. That, or they're so pretentious that they really honestly think what they say truly matters. I find this absolutely fascinating. Honest to God, most of the people who post updates, I could care less about. And most people are like this. If you aren't then you are either lying or you are one of those people who cares about whether or not moss got stepped on and ruined by the sole of the hikers shoes. Not that there is anything wrong with this. Just is an idealistic worldview that can be discussed sometime else.

Back to what was said by the musician. He talked about people who move up on in the world and then decide to sit and say "well look at how hard I worked to get here.He essentially calls them pretentious pricks because of the people who are honest to God true hardworkers are the ones that do the same thing day in and day out and don't whine. The ones who have no chance at advancement.

The one thign that I have learned with my current stay at COTA is that I am a hardworker. I like long days and I like the pride that comes with knowing that I perform a public service. The thing that makes me laugh is that I could do any other office job out there (it doesn't take stinking 4 years of schooling to do most jobs in the administrative world) become bored, probably have a dislikenment to my boss and loathe those who got to be outside.

So...if I advance in my professional life, fantastic. If not, I am fine. But if you are one of those ones who feels that you need a title or if you're so above work that you can't work 60+ hours a week, don't you dare tell us low men on the totem pole how hard you had to work. We know. We're doing it. We do it everyday, and its fine with us. Just don't tell us how much better you got it, cuz really, you don't and all you're doing is trying to rain on our parade.

Good luck, God bless, and have a beautiful day!
