"If You Want" Tom Vek

The titles for all my blogs will just end up being songs. I don't know why, I just can't think of titles.

It has become very difficult for me to not hate the world. It's not that the world has taken from me more than I was willing to give. I am accommodating in that sense. It's just that the world has not given me what it once promised, and I've learned that no one makes promises they can keep. Everyone goes out of their way to keep promises; it's not one of those things that just comes to you. At least, it doesn't appear that way to me.

I dislike it when people have opinions, but instead of voicing them in a non-assertive manner, they treat them as facts. "That band sucks!" Well, I'm glad you think so, but really? Because I listen to Tom Vek and I don't think he sucks. That must not be true, then.
"Well it is! He does suck!"
How could you possibly know he sucks? Do you even listen to him?
"Yeah, I've heard one of his songs and it SUCKED ass!"
Oh really? Just one song? Because he's made an album, and he has at least five songs. I still don't think any of his songs "suck ass" so it's still not true.
"Yes it is."
No it's not. For him to suck, it would have to be a fact. It's not a fact, it's an opinion.
It's not, "Tom Vek sucks!" it's, "I don't like Tom Vek."
People should learn the difference. Especially when it comes to political issues like abortion and gay marriage. They're not facts, they're beliefs and opinions. Treat them as such.
If you don't, it's like treating a car like a pair of roller blades.
It's stupid, to me.

I wish I had someone my age to talk to who would actually provide decent conversation other than Monica.
I'm taking drum lessons from Evan, definitely. I want to learn, and I want to be good at it, at playing drums.
And I suppose I have Near to talk to, but he often takes a while to respond (conflicting/different schedules and whatnot) and he's one of those superficial people. Not superficial as in can't-have-decent-conversation-with superficial, but in the don't-go-too-deeply-into-the-details kind of superficial. It's because we're strangers to each other. I want to ask him for his name, but I feel it would affront him. It might not do that, but he might choose to not give it. I'm not sure why I don't ask him.
I almost have asked him, too. I almost asked him, but then I erased the question. If he will give me his name, he will give it to me. That or I will tire of not knowing his name and ask him.
