mmhmm

Serious, guys.

i haven’t done a serious blog entry in here for a while, so i thought i might as well do one right now. i don’t expect anyone to read this either. kind of a lot of really random thoughts.

i find it interesting when people on facebook delete you because of political differences. it’s that kind of thing where you know it couldn’t possibly be because of anything else. for instance, i had two neighbors that lived down the street from me when i was little. i used to hang out with them and their dog quite often. we were friends on facebook for quite some time. they were very open about having a liberal view of things, while i generally keep the politics to a minimum. i know i mentioned who i voted for in the last primaries for governor. shortly after that, we were no longer friends. it’s unfortunate, i guess. thomas jefferson and john adams were very close friends, but their political views were completely different. i think that shows that sophisticated people generally look past their differences to continue an honest and close friendship. they don’t just look past those differences, they discuss them. not argue, but discuss. share their views. don’t get me wrong, i’m not saying that i am more sophisticated than them, by any means. i also don’t mean to pick on them specifically, i’ve had a few others delete me as well. it’s just something that has bugged me lately.

i have lately been trying to change my mindset. i probably shouldn’t simply say lately, because i’ve been trying to for a while. i guess i’ve just focused on more recently than i have in the past. i’ve always been a very judgmental person. quick to find the bad in people rather than the good. this specifically occurs at work. hopefully this doesn’t sound completely judgemental, but i work in warehouse where people generally aren’t very smart people. several of them didn’t graduate from high school. i’ve noticed that i seem judge people on that alone. rather than focusing on their good qualities. for instance, some of them are extremely hard workers. some of them are good at what they do. some are sociable. some are helpful. so whenever i find myself thinking negative things about someone, i have to sit back and ask myself, “okay, but what is it about them that makes their character unique?” i think this mindset has helped. i think i’m talking less about people. the negative things in other people always used to be a conversation starter for me. now i find myself discussing other more meaningful things.

sorry, i just found something in my finger. ha. my time here is done.
