Too Much of a Good Thing.

You know what really grinds my gears... When you have too much of a good thing.

Allow me to start with a disclaimer. There are things that you can never have too much of. Things like money, pussy, weed, fun, vacations, and things of the like. This blog is to speak on other matters.

We've all heard the saying, "...too much of a good thing." But can we really have too much of a good thing. I've always been against this type of saying because it implies that something can become sooooooo good, that it can then turn into something bad. And when you think about it, the saying just doesn't make any sense.

But as I thought about this saying I figured out that in some circumstances the saying rings true. An an example, if you were say, stranded on an uninhabited island you would welcome food at any turn (food being the "good"). But if you had to eat coconuts each and everyday, for forever, with no change in sight, the good will then turn to bad (monotony being the "bad"). Granted this scenario is a bit extreme, but its just an example that is possibly relevant to our everyday lives.

I guess to explain it, it's human nature to enjoy things and then tire of them in time. It's human nature to always want something better. The only reason I bring this up is because I've finally become tired of something that i used to really enjoy. That being COD: Modern Warfare 2. I really used to enjoy the game and now I loathe playing it. I hate losing and I hate not being able to talk shit online anymore cause I suck. hahahahaha! I play it to kill time now... and not for fun.

Allow me to leave you with something that you can't have "too much of a good thing" of: MUSIC. And keeping with the topic.

You Know What Really Grinds My Gears... Passive Aggresive people.

Passive-aggressive... lets dissect this word:

Passive

–adjective

Accepting or submitting without objection or resistance.

Aggressive

–adjective

boldly assertive and forward; pushy.

I feel like these are opposing ideas. Be one or the other. Cause in my book you most definitely and most assuredly can't be both. Or you can... either way.

You know what really grinds my gears... the MTV VMAs

I wrote this about a month ago but for some reason I forgot to hit the "publish post" button. Better late than never right? Enjoy!

Music videos are a dying art. Yes, an art! The videos were a way for music artists to convey their music onto a live canvas. Does anyone else remember actually looking forward to seeing the video to their favorite song or artist? I remember watching videos like 2pac - California Love, Aha - Take on me, Lauryn Hill - That Thing, Wu-Tang Clan - Triumph, Blind Melon - No Rain, Busta Rhymes - Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Can See, Dr. Dre - Nuthin but a G thang and every Michael Jackson Video. And when you watch a great video like that you actually get an insight into the thought, emotion, passion and genius that these artists put forth into making not only the video, but also the song itself.

MTV is short for Music TeleVision, right? Yet, they never show videos on a consistent enough basis to warrant that name. The only time I know that they still show actual music videos is during a 3 hour block @ 3am. And the last show they had that was dedicated ti music videos was TRL...Which by the way, was cancelled last year. What ever happened to shows like Yo! MTV Raps, headbangers ball, even beavis and butthead showed music videos. So I say that they change the networks name to... RTV Reality TeleVision. Every show on MTV  now is a mind-numbingly, idiotic excuse of a television reality show. 

MTV is no longer about music, nor about music videos. So how can they effectively have an award show honoring music videos? Music videos that they neither show, nor has anyone seen. (as a sidenote, how does shakiras video not get nominated for hottest video, ever!) 

In closing... Mtv, please show music videos or change your gaddamn name.... And that my friends is what's grinding my gears!

What really grinds my gears... the awkard silence.

You know when you'e having a conversation with someone and then for whatever reason the conversstion stalls and the people involved just stare at each other awkwardly... Yeah... Ummm... Uhhhh... Yeah....

Next time I'm in that kinda situation I'm gonna give us something to be awkwardly silent about... I'm simply just gonna fart! You wanna be silent, well I'm gonna break that silence.

You know what really grinds my gears... The Beginnings

"You know what really grinds my gears... Where exactly in the bible does it say a man can't fire off some knuckle children in the privacy of his own neighbors living room while his neighbors at work cause I don't have a DVD player. Well I don't know where it says it cause the bible is way too long to read!"

You know what really grinds my gears... That Gaddamn Negativity!

Growing up I never really thought of myself as a negative person. But more and more I know I have become just that. I'm trying to think of when this whole negative streak started and to be honest I can't really pinpoint when and how it came to fruition. I would say that many circumstances in my life have built me up to be that pessimistic person that you all know.... and love (yeah, right!) .

I think that I use the negativity as way to not be dissapointed. I would look at a situation and see how and where things could go bad. So in turn, I wouldnt be suprised when shit hits the fan. It was almost like self sabotage. It's like the old saying, "Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst." Except that I would do it backwards by... "Preparing for the worst, but hoping for the best." I know it doesnt seem too different, but when your initial thought is negative instead of positive, it kinda sets the tone in a negative light.

I'm starting to believe that I am sabotaging myself by having this overall pessimistic outlook. To this point, I feel I must change my outlook on things. A whole life change is something that can take a lot of time and effort. But I've got all the time in the world...It's now time to show the effort. Positive thinking can go a long way... Hopefully, it can go a long ways to getting me this gaddamn job.
