Pockets Full of Good Intentions

I don't consider myself a very pessimistic person, although I'm sure that's a highly contestable observation. I know I can be a bit negative in regards to my own abilities, prospects, and circumstances but I feel like when it comes to my views of others, I always expect the best.

It's one of my fatal flaws.

To be really corny, unoriginal, a little stupid, and very "high school" let me quote The Carpenters (I'm on a Carpenters kick right now, you'll have to bear with me through it):

"I know I ask perfection or a quite imperfect world. / And fool enough to think that's what I'll find."




But then I look at some of my adopted life policies, and maybe I'm not so optimistic as I think I am.

Here are some of them, try not to judge me too harshly.

• The good guy always comes out last. Better worded: Morals do nothing but hold you back from the same successes as those who have none. (or less than you have.)
• Every thing is luck: children dying, winning the lottery, even finding the love of your life. There are few things that I feel like people really have control of. It's just a matter of luck and patience.
• The best thing you can have is blindness, deafness, and a heavy-heavy veil to gaurd yourself from your own stupidity. Just as moral-less get ahead, so do the stupid. It's one of the sad, cruel facts of life.
• Boys are half idiots. This is relatively unrelated, but I just had to throw it in there. Girls are pretty much over all better.

Maybe I'll blog more often or better in the future. But don't hold you breathe.

Also! Book club blog has FINALLY been started! It'll be a slow going process but we've been a semi-official "club" for almost a year. We've plowed through 4 or 5 books, and we're excited to start documenting it. Stay tuned, my few readers.
