- things i think about...
(via fuckyeahanniehathaway)
So this popped up on my FB Newsfeed. I couldn’t comment on it because it wasn’t one of my friends’ posts, however a friend did comment on it.
Why can’t people of color ever mourn in peace? Why do white people always have to demean our tragedies when they get media coverage, and they always do it to bring attention to another, unrelated event.
And it’s not just white people, I’ve seen a few of you spouting bullshit about how everyone cares about Whitney Houston’s passing but doesn’t care about Syria or Greece, as if it’s fucking impossible for complex living organisms such as ourselves to give a fuck about more than one thing at a time.
I’m just so fucking sick of all the anti-Black bullshit; but then people wan to cry about solifuckingdarity when it’s convenient for them. Ugh. Let us mourn in fucking peace for fuck’s sake.
Metal fans are some of the most racist people on earth. Of course they’d think that a white guy no one outside their subculture has heard of is more worthy of the world’s collective grief than a black woman. Any black woman.

Wow the fuck is this.

I’M JUST SAYIN’
colour has nothing to do with this post!
I love metal and I am not racist. That comment about metal fans being racist pissed me off.
(saw this on my other Tumblr, but posting to this one) I didn’t automatically think that this post was about race. It’s sad however that people feel that one person’s death is somehow more or less important than another person’s death. I’m sure both of these people had loved ones who are missing them IMMENSELY right now, and I’m pretty sure it’s not because how many albums they sold. I found this highly offensive in many ways, but certainly not to my RACE. Think about what you put out there, people.
As most of my friends already know, I hate Valentines Day. I hate it when I am single, and I hate it when I am in a relationship. It is the one of the biggest crocks of shit out there.
So, unlike most people who are complaining about this curse of a day, I can actually rationalize WHY I hate it.
There should not be any one day where anyone feels obligated to show their love. In fact, quite the opposite. If you actually love someone, it is true every day. You go out of your way to make sure you do at least one unexpected, wonderful thing for that amazing person every single day you are lucky enough to be with them. It can be so small. Do the dishes so they don’t have to, buy them something that you have seen them look at, but remain reluctant to purchase. Or hey, here is a novel idea… just spend some time talking. Let someone know how much they mean to you every single day, not just one day a year.
It is complete bullshit to me that companies make so much money off of this. It ruins the entire concept of love for me. You should NEVER be expected to do something, it should NEVER be an obligation. I don’t want anything from someone because they felt like they owed it to me. How does that mean ANYTHING at all? When you are truly in love, there should be little surprises all the time, for no reason at all. If you really love someone, you think of them constantly simply because they mean that much to you. This concept of having to buy things or shower someone with affection as a way to appease them is absurd. Saying that you love someone and truly meaning it should always be enough. If you want to do more, good for you! But people expect this crap!
Aside from this, I hate seeing all these pathetic people who are so afraid of being alone that they throw the word love around like it means nothing. They get into a relationship because they are terrified of being alone on a stupid “holiday” like Valentines. There are literally millions of relationships that are founded on (and ultimately ended by) people who just can’t stand to be alone for ONE DAY.
Maybe I am weird, but I would rather be with no one, than be with the wrong someone. Why waste your time lying to a person about how you feel? Why bother trying to make something more than it is? It’s senseless. In this respect, I would say Valentines Day is quite possibly the most harmful day of the year. People get hurt because 80% or more of the general population thinks it is a bad thing to be alone on this one stupid day, that really means nothing at all. As a result they lie to each other so they can feel better about themselves.
I am truly glad for the people like my Grandparents who have been married for over 60 years and still love each other dearly. The only justification I can find for any such day is to recognize and appreciate people like them. They love each other just as much today as they did the day they exchanged vows, but guess what? In their house Valentines is not a big deal. They exchange cards and kisses, and call it good. Every day they say they love one another, and they have stood by each other for over 60 years… they don’t need a stupid day like this to prove anything at all.
So go waste your money and your time, but I am glad to be left out of it. No obligatory flowers or chocolates for me, and I am happy for it.

Using only song names from ONE ARTIST, answer these questions. Pass it on to at least 15 people and include me. You can’t use the artist/band I used. Try not to repeat a song title. It’s a lot harder than you think!
