Today's Track : Radiohead - Fake Plastic Trees

You know what I hate? I hate people who are judgmental. Just take a look at the word judgmental -- judge + mental = judgmental. People who judge are mental! I also hate people who make lame word jokes but I digress. You talk to these people and you can tell by the way they’re responding (or not responding) that they’re totally passing judgment over you. It was like back in the 70s when kids started listening to rock music and parents were all like, “No you’re not listening to Rock’n’Roll, it’s the devil’s music!” Or like when you go to the grocery store and you’re buying toilet paper and you’re too cheap to get 2-ply and the cashier looks at you like, “You’re going to wipe your ass with that?” I say who the hell are you to tell me how I should be living my life, what music I listen to and what kind of toilet paper I should be wiping my ass with! Maybe the 1-ply toilet paper is for my dog! Have you ever thought about that? Have you? I didn’t think so.

We judge others to try and make up for the insecurities we have about other parts of our lives. The whole holier-than-thou attitude is totally QFD (quelle fuckin drag). I think we all need to take a step back and try and evaluate ourselves as isolated individuals. Have we accomplished the goals we’ve set out to accomplish? Were our goals realistic? Can we still accomplish our goals? Are we happy with where we are in our lives? I think when you stop comparing yourself to your well-off buddies, you’ll find that you’re actually happier than you really thought you were.
