Cliques, Geeks & Spats

Ok, here's a point of view of mine that I really do want to press on people. Because I think it's the one thing at university which I think causes people to miss out on great opportunities and fun times.

And that is decisions to not be friends or not be nice to someone. Now I'm sure I have done it myself and it is something I am working on in changing. But it just doesn't make sense. The amount of times people are just blunt, not nice, or ignorant just because they don't know someone that well is fucking rude. 

I'm not saying that everyone has to be friends with everyone. And I'm definitely not saying that I am. But I'm the kind of person who is open to getting along with anyone and everyone. It doesn't mean I want to replace my previous and closer friends with you, or spend all of my time with you, it just means that I'm not going to not be friendly just because I don't know you very well, or because I'm not in your little friendship group or clique. And I'm never going to say I've got enough friends, because you may miss out on a great new friendship. There's nothing worse when people don't make an effort for no genuine or respectable reason. It doesn't exactly hurt to smile at someone or say hi if they do so to you. 

I'm not claiming that it gets me down a lot because 90% of me couldn't give two shits about what everyone thinks of me, but when it's just arrogance preventing you from being nice, or just laziness, then it just strikes me as pathetic and frustrating. 

Each day I want to give up on humanity, because I can see our whole society turning into a selfish, unsociable and cruel race, and it's something that needs to be changed. I realise that most of this just sounds like bullshit, but my depression has made me realise many things as of late. And this is one of them, it just is an uneccessary drawback of living. And these are things I could do without so I can focus on getting better.

Return to blogging?

As has been the general theme of my vapid last few posts, here I am, looking to blog again, to see if it will do any good. Lets start with an update based on the big milestones I kept missing in my previous posts. It is five years since my previous post, where I was a very naive 25 year old. Yes, I'm in my thirties now. Maturing like a fine wine I hope, but more likely like a piece of cheddar that dropped under the fridge. Back then I was 'still' living at home. I did not know back then that it would be another five years. Last year however, in May I bought my own home. Yes that's right, I'm a homeowner. The years of saving paid off.  I escaped the bully from the old marketing company and after a brief time working in Oxford, I have settled into a SaaS company where the last three years have blown by. I chop and change as to whether there is the right level of opportunity for me there, but I have a good support network there and I am doing something I enjoy; Contin...

Who Killed Lucy Beale? Suspects 15-11

Image
Now we're really getting in deep. We're on to part 7 of our suspect list, with some real likely killers and one psycho child. 15. Dennis Rickman Jr. This has to be the worst little shit in the history of fictional characters? He is such a little twerp who deserves a smack. His lies against Whitney pushing him just shows how evil he can be and I wouldn't be shocked in the slightest if he was a murderer. 14. Denise Fox Denise made the disgusting mistake of falling for Ian. How the hell did that happen? She was supposed to be in Oxford at the time of the murder, but that could be a shoddy excuse (just look at Mr Bates in Downton). Lucy actually helped Denise by keeping her kiss with Fatboy secret, and they never really had that much hatred between them. However, she did start to really detest Ian, and she would know how to hurt him, through his children.   13. Nick Cotton Nick is back, again... Whilst that means we've got a couple of months of Dot...
