The… INTERNET!! (In a thousand words or less)

I think the internet is cool… no wait! Scratch that! The internet is futher mucking damn cool as hell!!!! The A-Team is amazing for inventing the internet!! OK So the internet wasn’t invented by the A-Team but it was invented by an elite group of people so I am going to assume that’s the friggin’ A-Team! MMkay?

The internet is probably one of the greatest things ever invented! Better than the wheel! (See I don’t drive so I don’t give a rat’s ass about the wheel)

So this being said, I have something very very very VERY important to state…

Don’t let the internet be your life!!!!

Now I live on the internet. When I’m not on my Macbook or my iPad, I’m on my iPhone tweeting up a storm! I think I am way too connected as it is and all my internet life is based on a life that is going on outside of the world wide web. It shouldn’t be the other way around.

I see these people who only live on the internet. When they speak they talk about their conversations with people they have never met and they think these people are their real friends. I know you can make connections with people via the web through skype and other services and you can be sure they aren’t a 45 year old man with a chicken wing stuck to his face that is four weeks old and his left hand in his pants.

So here is my question for you… Are these REAL connections?

Can a virtual connection be the same as one you can touch? Can you really get to know someone via the web the same way you can in person?

When you are on the web you can be a character. You can be a better version of your self by showcasing you good side. People don’t see the side of you when your world is crashing down around you, the side you show when you feel real sadness, and the side of you when you are blazing mad.

I know I am me on the web… well… minus a few zits here and there. What you get here is real and I take a lot of pride in that. There isn’t much a keep private aside from my love life (Not my dating life! LOL) You get my bitchy ranty side, my happy go lucky side, my sad side, and so on. Sometimes it offends people but hey, I’m real as hell. Are you?

Now I am not saying everyone should be like me. If you are a private person, that’s cool. I could care less.

Back to my point…

Life is about balance. If you are going to have a stake in the internet and leave your mark you can’t sacrifice your real flesh life. How far is too far? When you lose all your social skills with real breathing people. If you can’t relate on the physical plane what is the point of being on the virtual one?

I have met so many people that lose all their friends and connections in real life because they spend way to much time on the internet. You try to hang out with them and all they do is talk about their internet friends, their internet games, and such. When you bring up a subject based on anything real, they are like deer in the headlights! What kind of life is that to live?

Privacy is a huge buzz word in the media right now when speaking about the internet. Maybe addiction should be the new buzz word. If you are putting all your private information on the internet and you are worried about the world seeing it, there is something wrong with that picture. Why are you putting all your deep dark secrets on the web in the first place? Is it because you don’t know where to draw the line? Is it because you are so addicted you can’t help but spill your guts to the world? Now, do you have the right to complain about privacy?

See I don’t feel like I would ever have the right to complain about my privacy on the web unless someone else posted something private about me. Are people so paranoid about their privacy because of their addiction?

I am an internet addict. I don’t think I could go 24 hours with sending and receiving some serious data. I don’t think there is anything wrong with that. What bothers me is these people who are socially inept in the real world and you make connections with them via the internet to only find when you meet them in person they are a shell of a person. They have maybe one or two friends that they know in person and they can barely handle that! So please! I beg of you! Don’t become one of those people!

My challenge to all my blog readers is to get out!

Go out into the world. Make real connections with people. Live life! Then! …and only then… Report to the internet everything you just did! Turn things around! Live life and enjoy every second of it! Because to turn into a virtual person is sad and I don’t want that for anyone!

RAGE BLOG! (A life lesson brought to you by Agent Shawnee)

What is more important your ego or your relationships and friendships?

Let me tell you something wise I have learned from the stubborn egomaniacs of the world. If your ego comes first, in the end, all you will have left is that ego.

So what is so really great about your ego? Is it worth losing someone you care about?

If someone you claim to care about tells you how they feel about things you have done… how do you react?

Your reaction is EVERYTHING!!

So which path do you choose? Do you choose the higher road and say something simple like…

“I’m really sorry you feel that way. What did I do to make you feel that way? How can I make it better?”

Then you can hear them out and try to make a effort.

Crisis averted.

Now… if you don’t take the higher road, you might just stomp out any future relationship with that person.

If you…

  • Turn everything they say around on them.

  • Sit there and point out every fault they have.
  • Sit there and point out things that never happened.
  • Make excuses.
  • Accuse them of hurting you.
  • Threaten to take away your friendship.
  • Throw a pity party.
  • Accuse them of having other problems.

…you will end up hurting the person even more.

Then how do you fix that? Do you dig a deeper hole? Do you just keep saying things that are worse and worse?

What good is all this? What can anyone get out of reacting like this?

Last night I tried to express the way I was feeling toward someone and their reaction was the later. The way I felt was never acknowledged. This person just decided to tell me everything that was wrong with me instead. Then they followed it by accusing me of never giving them a chance to communicate with me. How hard is to pick up the phone and say, “Hey I need to talk to you about this?” I’m not going to say “Ok it’s time for you to tell me everything you feel like you need to communicate with me!” I can’t be held responsible for someone not knowing how simple it is to reach out to someone. Then it turned into excuses such as “I have a stressful job.” I have stress and problems too that doesn’t make it ok to ignore someone.

At that point I had enough. There is no reason I should sit there and listen to that bullshit from anyone just because they didn’t like how I was feeling towards them. So I told them they could have the whole project that was my idea in the first place (Which is not an easy thing to give up! That’s just how irate I was at this person!) and went to bed.

I woke up to an email with a title…

You are throwing away a good thing

Really? Me? It takes two to tango and my feet kept getting stepped on so why should I stay on the dance floor?

The email contained a threat to end our friendship if I walked away from this project.

Would you stick around if you got that reaction because you told someone you felt left out of a project that was your idea in the first place?

I can’t fix this. This person has dug themselves to deep of a hole and I am not going to pull them out of it. I now still feel the way I felt when I first tried to communicate the problem and extremely disappointed in the way they handled them selves. This makes me wonder how they will handle them selves if this project were to blow up and they have to deal with the public saying way worse things.

The more I think about this fucked up situation the more I wonder if seeing this person in person is a good idea. I might blow a fuse and give them a verbal lashing. No, I know I would if they said any of the things they said online to me in person. That’s a side of me I do not like and I would hate to see it brought down upon someone.

I think I should just clear my mind of this problem and let this person figure out how to make it better.

“Darling I’ll leave and you wont come along.
So give me the reason to stay.
Give me the reason to wait.

Dumbest reason to quit Facebook. Ever.

So I saw this thing on Digg and it was Dugg 3,494 times!

Really? Someone is quitting Facebook because of Farmville invites? Seriously? Are they so dumb that they don’t know that with one single click they can block the application and never receive another request?

If someone is going to quit a social network for something that is remedied with one click, good riddance! You are too stupid to be on my internets!

Peace!

Toxic Trainwrecks

So a while ago I was chilling on iChat when this girl from High School messaged me. Lets call her… “Methella” yeah… that name is perfect! Anyway me and Methella were chatting it up. It was mostly her complaining that she can barely cover rent and how she can’t even afford shampoo. I would feel sorry for her but I know her back story which we will get into more later. Anyway we got into the subject of weight and she mentioned my good friend who we are going to call… “Awesomellie”

“I’m glad you an Awesomellie found each other because you are both fucking anorexic.”

First of all who would say that?! Especially someone with a past of alcoholism and illegal drug use. Really? Methella can judge someone for caring about their figure when they abuse their body with hardcore drugs? Of course Methella can because she has no dignity or morals. The thing about a stupid drug addicts is that they don’t care about anyone but themselves but of course they have an opinion about EVERYONE else! This is why no normal person should bother associating with them.

Now of course I vented to Awesomellie about the comment because it really put me off. I had NEVER said anything about what a slut Methella is, how Methella drinks herself stupid and broke, how Methella uses drugs, and how Methella complains and plays the “poor me” card because she has a disease she does nothing but make worse with her bad habits. Yet she can openly talk shit about me and my friend because we care about what we weigh? (BTW Neither Awesomellie or I are anorexic)

Shawnee’s Definition of “Talking Shit” – saying something that is untrue.

So it gets back to Methella that I told Awesomellie what she said and what does Methella do? She tells everyone that I have been calling her a druggie then texts me saying I’m talking shit about her because I told Awesomellie what she said. Really? We must define “talking shit” differently because I told Awesomellie the truth yet she is lying about me? I never talked to anyone about her aside from Awesomellie because I don’t even have any friends in common with her! Nor did I ever say anything about her drug problem (But I am now! Yeah! Get off your drugs and get a job Can.. er Methella!) So who was really “talking shit” in the first place? Yeah Methella. Guess what? I am still not “talking shit” about her because this is all true! Therefor I am just “talking” right?

After going off on me like some elementary school brat she said that Awesomellie didn’t need a friend like me hurting her. WTF?! Me and Awesomellie are great friends and haven’t really had any bad altercations yet Methella and Awesomellie don’t really speak.

Oh did I mention that I tried to help Methella quit drinking when she said she REALLY wanted to?! I hung out with her instead of going out and partying with my friends and I let her hang out at my house when she couldn’t hang out with any of her alcoholic friends. Only for her to go back to drinking and claim she only did it to try and get a guy in AA?!

Oh! And did I mention that she treated me like shit most of my life and tried to make my life a living hell?! Yet I forgave her for her stupidness in her youth and what did I find out? She didn’t change!!!

So here is my unsolicited advice to you… Do not let useless drug addicts, alcoholics, and potheads infect your life!

There is a difference between someone who does these things recreationally and has a job and is a contributing member of society and someone who is a low life with no job who is addicted to the items above. Stay away from the later at all costs. They are gross.

Peace!

Going to make a loser feel special.

There is this loser who talks shit about me because I blog saying that makes me self centered. Well I saw him working the other day and he has a picture of himself on his nametag. The name tags are customizable and he had them make one with his mug on it… I’m self centered? What an asshat! So here is my letter to the asshat

Dear Asshat,

You must be more obsessed with me than I am with my self. You talk about me to people who don’t even care or hardly know me. That’s pathetic. You are not in high school. I know you probably used to be the head cheerleader with your girlish figure but it’s time to move on. Picking on people you hardly know is lame and immature. So how about you grow a pair and man up? Stop being such a bitch who needs to bitch to bitch. Oh and if I am the one full of them selves here why are you the one with a picture of your self on your name tag? Hmmm? Yeah it’s time to revaluate your life. Consider this my favor to you not only am I giving you the attention you crave but I am teaching you a life lesson. Get your nose out of other people’s lives and focus on your own because it needs a lot of help.

Love,
Shawnee

Peace!

Florida Is Clinically Insane!

You know what I hate? Florida. So I’ve decided to share with you all exactly why I detest the state.

If it isn’t enough that the state is nearly wiped out by a hurricane every year and everyone just rebuilds their life, the news stories that come out of Florida on top of that?! Either these people are the dumbest people on earth or this is natures way of trying to get rid of them. Or worse… both. Does nature watch the news?

Here are just some highlights from the Florida news in 2009.

1. So I guess a woman was smoking outside her apartment and another woman was not pleased. So picks up a can of Glade aerosol room freshener and sprays the smoking woman’s face. Fire+Aerosol=Not great for any party involved.

Click here for the full story

2. A 53 year old woman was sitting on the toilette and got a surprise when a 56 year old woman accidently dropped her gun and shot her right on the can!

Click here for the whole story

3. An 8th grade kid was suspended from riding the bus because he passed gas! How can you suspend someone for farting?! That’s like getting fired for have a bladder problem or something.
Click here to read the full story

4. Tiger Woods lives in Florida. Enough said.

5. A woman was at McDonalds and she called 911 three times because they were out of chicken McNuggets and they could not refund her money. A lot of people argue that she may have been in the right because she had already given them her money but any sane person would just settle on something else. If someone really felt the police were needed in this case you can call the police NOT 911! Chicken nuggets are not an emergency! What is really sad is that there was totally a copy cat crime in this one but instead it happened in another awesome state Ohio! A 24 year old woman punched through a drive-thru window because they were out of nuggets. What is WRONG with you people?!

Click here for the 911 story
Click here for Ohio copy cat crime

6. A woman moved out of her boy friends place and returned to get a Pop Tart and her ex would not let her in so she stabbed him. Yes… for a Pop Tart…

Click here for the whole story

7. The face of Shamwow, Vince Shlomi, beat up a hooker that bit him. Of course after paying her a grand or so.

Read the whole story here

So I am not here to offend anyone who lives in Florida (I know some great people from Florida!) but really guys? Can’t you get your state under control? Or enlist some alligators and bull sharks to help pick off the dumb ones?

Peace!

Ranting Blog on Selfish People and FLAKES!!!!!

*Note* Yeah I rant on my blog and I don’t really give a damn if I offend anyone. I don’t use names and it’s my way of letting off so steam. So if you can’t handle is go cry to your mama cuz the Shawnee don’t give a damn

I am soooooo tired of people who are not considerate of their friends feelings and interests.

I have this friend and I swear to god she is the most selfish person ever and I can’t handle it any more. She invites me to crap SHE wants to do and flakes. We almost never ever do anything I want to do and when we do she either has to leave right away because she has other plans or bitches the whole time. In other words she finds a way to make it ALL about her.

Yes I’ve written about this problem before and she read it and what did she do? She bought me something and continued to act EXACTLY the same! That makes no sense to me. Material things DON’T fix your problems with people. They just make them feel a little better for a moment. Like oragel… You put it on your throbbing tooth and of course it feels good for a moment but the cavity is still there.

Like when we went to the Melting Pot. I was soooooooo excited they opened one here so I tried to get my friends together to go. I told her WEEKS in advance and what happens? We go to pick her up and she’s like “Ok but we have to be done by such and such time because I have plans with my boy friend to see a movie.” Really? You can see a movie anytime it will be in theaters a while. You DON’T have to cut my plans short because you can’t stay away from your boyfriend for a few hours. Then she proceeded to bitch about the prices and how tired she was. If you go somewhere and don’t want to spend money on the food get something small and shut up. Don’t bring everyone else down about it.

Then there was my birthday. MONTHS before my birthday I told her I REALLY wanted to go to Disney Land and she said ok. Then when the weeks before arrived it turned into “Oh I dunno if I can get the time off” even though she could have damn well gotten it off for sure. It’s not that hard when you request it in advance. Then she agreed to go with me and her boyfriend a few days before my bday. Then she calls me the day before and cancels on me because she can’t handle issues with her boyfriend and because she doesn’t have a lot of money. Why agree to do something if you know you are not going to do it? Oh but it gets worse! I invite her to lunch with my other friend and what do I get to do after lunch with them? Watch her spend money at the mall!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO BEING TOO BROKE?!?!! Fucking selfish people I swear!!!

So one day she texted me inviting me to the Hello Kitty MAC launch because she said she knows how much I love Hello Kitty. I was surprised she actually wanted to do something I would want to do. Even though I was hesitant to go because I was broke (and really upset about my money situation) I decided to go because she seemed to be actually doing something for me. Nope. She didn’t even RSVP like the invite told her to do. WTF? If it says to RSVP and you want to go you RSVP. Then she didn’t get the time right. She said it would be at 2PM but we went there and she found out it was at 8PM and this is what she said “Well I will be to tired to go then so you can go by your self if you want.” Which I couldn’t even do because she put her name on the list and not mine.

I invited her over for a girls night the other night. A girls night! Not “I’m going to do your hair and cater to you night.” So she comes over telling me she will “let me” cut her hair?! WTF it’s my fucking trade no one “lets me” cut their hair on a night I just want to kick back. Then I tell her if I cut it I have to finish it dry because thats the way hair cuts SHOULD be finished and I’m not going to let someone walk around with a half ass hair cut telling people I do it. So she bitches about that and her damn schedule. I sleep in on my day off and I really don’t enjoy people expecting me to get out of bed and do shit for them that we could have done some other time when we didn’t have a girls night planned. Or if she would have at least ASKED me to do it nicely instead of “letting” me do it. That’s just fucked up and rather rude.

There are plenty of things I want to do that we never do. Like I’ve been dying to go to the restaurant that my crush works at which is RIGHT BY her work and of course that hasn’t happened and will NEVER happen. Why? Because she ONLY cares about her self.

So today we were supposed to go see a movie with her mom. I called her at like 12:30ish in the afternoon yesterday and asked her to text me the details. Her idea of details is “There is a show at 1:30.” No location or if we are actually going. So I sent her a text when I got off work telling her I need the details of exactly when and were I need to be so I know what time I need to get up and be on the bus by. What do I get? “There is a showing at 1:30 at Del Amo.” So I texted her asking if we are actually going to that showing. No response. So I texted her later and said “Ok have fun tomorrow because I will not be flaked on again.” I know that was a bit rude but considering her track record it was called for. I don’t want to get up and get ready for something that wont even happen. Nor did I want to take a bus somewhere for no reason. It really is a waste of money and my time.

I am seriously livid at this person. I’m not going to put up with this bull shit. I am out of her life for now and if she wants to make it better she is going to have to do something damn special and not selfish (and no I don’t mean buying something or throwing money at the problem) until then I am not going to call her, talk to her, or do her hair.

Then there is another friend… Who is not selfish but a bit flakey. It really bothers me that whenever she has a man in her life or whatever she totally drops all her friends. Then when she is feeling lonely and not wanting to drink she blogs about how she needs her friends right now. Really? Because you don’t seem to need us when you are fucking or dating someone. I was there for her when she first quit drinking. I opted to spend time with her doing non drinking things than going out and what happened? She just stopped calling me after she was seeing a guy or two. So I wont be waiting in line to help her when she needs someone to lean on.

Ok I am done bitching.

Peace!

If you are uneducated you have no right to talk politics!

This is going to be one short and sweet blog.

I really don’t think anyone has the right to talk/blog/bitch about politics when they are not educated.

The following statement is NEVER OK!

“People say ______ about _____ and it bothers me so I’m not going to vote for them.”

People say a lot of shit! At least make your own damn opinions based on facts and NOT on gossip.

Ok I’m done.
