i don't know many people who:
-love it when someone makes fun of the way they look, whether it be the color of their skin, their weight, the shape of their nose etc.
-want to be killed.
-enjoy being judged negatively based on religious affiliation
-like being stereotyped
-Love being hated based on their sexual orientation. (gay or straight...)
-plead with people to argue with them
-want to be dirt poor.
do you?
I just wish people would stop voicing their negative opinions and just live their own life in happiness. if you disagree with something? that's fine....but there's no need to lash out in response in negative and offensive ways. just acknowledge the fact that you disagree, and move on.
If pointing out what you feel is someone else's flaw makes you happy, i ask you to reconsider. find happiness elsewhere. go enjoy nature. go eat your favorite burger. eat a whole gallon of icecream. (apparently i like eating...) laugh with your friends. watch a movie. play with neices and nephews. crochet. do whatever it is that makes you happy as long as it doesn't include putting yourself "above" another person/race/religion/lifestyle/etc.
i'm going to put my small little reputation in jeopardy here and reference a movie that i may or may not have seen a few times...***cough cough highschool musical cough cough***... by saying..... "we're all in this together" let's make the best of it. if you don't want people saying offensive things about you, then stop saying offensive things about others. if you want to be happy? make someone else happy. catch my drift?
does anyone else agree with me?....or even understand what i'm trying to say? my thoughts are rambled....but they are very sincere. i'd love to hear yours.
what made me happy today?
beautiful california sunshine.

I cannot argue with a word you said. Except, I must (with a huge grin on my face) point out that somebody found a way to insert an Asian joke into every other sentence in high school. Or maybe that was because you loved your little Asian friend? Hahaha! I miss you buddy, I really do.
and you make me happy :)
Well said, Mike. :)
couldn't have said it better myself!! Hope all is well mike :) update more i love your blogs! xoxo
I knew you were really enjoying all those times I made you watch High School Musical with me! No denying it now that it's on the blog. :)
Let's be happy ... all of us together!
I agree entirely, though I may not have fully appreciated the High School Musical reference. haha Unfortunately it is so much easier to blame something distinct like someone's ethnicity or religion or any other background information than to consider all the many mitigating factors that would cause someone to do something we dislike. But you're right. It won't make us happy.
Thanks for the wise thoughts, friend.
I got this phone call on Saturday from one of my BEST FRIENDS. That made me happy. :)
Mike! This is a beautiful post. Thank you! Also, I loved your *cough* high school musical *cough* reference. Thanks for always being so wonderful.
terrible friend alert. i'm just now reading this post. i still love you just as much though. and i loved this post. i hope you are happy out in the cali sunshine cause you sure deserve to be! cannot WAIT to see you sooooon!! loves.
So true. If only words like these were put into practice more often.
Will you be offended if I make fun of you for quoting 'High School Musical'? :)
brian, be my guest :) i make fun of myself for quoting it. but sometimes........ i just can't help myself. hope all is well for you!
Mikel, you're right on my friend. Let me quote a group of musicians a little more talented than your reference *cough cough * ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE.
And I love you,
