Blog 1. (Generic yeah?)

This is probably the first blog of many, i'm thinking of upgrading to a personal website as soon as I get in contact with Kelsey and her amazing abilities and such.

For the most part, this will be my music discovery, photo sharing, and personal opinion blog, much like how the internets has evolved into. Also, i'll get this linked to Multiply as soon as I really understand how it friggin' works.

So anyway, first rant of the night, Sarcasm vs Lying. In my opinion, both are just as bad. It's become more common because of common situations that might involve idiocy, lack of interest, or simple anger.

Lying, I believe is something we as human can't live without. It's a simple thing we use to benefit us in progress, or severely stop us and put us in somewhat of a life or death situation.

Sarcasm on the other hand, I just can't really adjust to. I know it's as easily triggered as a man's natural attraction to women, but onto the main point, it can just as easily be avoided. When it comes down to it, something deep inside, life experiences, or personal preferences all cause one's own reaction to reply with sarcasm. Of the many friends i've met, its moreover an ego booster as well as one's anger showing play. It becomes easy to point out that something/someone is "stupid" and say that its a natural reaction, but really, it can't just be that.

From an assessment over the years, i've always noticed it had something to do with anger or personal fulfillment, to satisfy one's cravings if you will. As humans, i've remember reading/listening somewhere that we always strive for what is pleasurable/favorable to us, so in a nutshell, no matter what you say, all humans are narcisistic; but for the most part, using the term of "narcisistic" is still much too broad to describe ALL of human's intentions.

For example, expanding on the topic of narcisism, Person A vs Person B. Person A is a businessman, every choice he makes is to help himself while helping his company while Person B is a used car salesman, who sells cars in order to benefit himself while only thinking of the customer as possible income. Now one must think, these examples can be easily modified and thought to be of exactly the same thing, but here's the kicker, they're not the same.

Person A, would be narcisistic in a sense by seeking personal gain by working on improving worker morale, so by say involving more worker friendly events and implementing more efficient work strategies, he both looks out for himself and his workers.

For Person B though, we'll think of him as those snotty used car salesman made popular due to stereotype. In a casual work day, he seeks out new customers by working in their favor, gaining their trust and thus selling a car thinking not so much of their interest but selling as high a car they can get in order to gain the most income for themselves.

Though in extremeties, this narcisism does contrast.

Well, onto the main point, Sarcasm does have its purpose in life, but with little to no self control, its intentions are somewhat the same though more explicit than lying.

While lying does only affect the individual/group after they understand what is truth, sarcasm involves a sharper detour to what is meant.

I honestly believe I can write a ten page paper with given time explaining my own thoughts on sarcasm, lying, narcisism, and the sorts, but it would just be some typical paper that heavily relies on opinionated facts.


And now, for the final final point, I just don't like sarcasm as much as I do lying, so please, if you must, don't do it around me. This just constantly reminds me of why I pursue'd a technology major when I am obsessively analytical about everyone's intentions.

SO yeah. Hello there new person!
