deep entry (finally!)
So Jill's party tonight...was most definately sweet action despite the fact that I didn't really know anyone there except for Jill and kind of Kristen. But still a lot of fun and orgasmic guacamole and brownies. Jill I hope you have as much fun in France as I had in England. It's going to kick so much ass, I know it.Watched several movies today: Resevoir Dogs (uuuhmazing), Rounders (pretty decent), and Dazed and Confused (missed the end but that movie is fucking hilarious. i la la la love Jason London. His genius work in Out Cold never fails to amaze me).
I've been very unproductive lately. It's kind of nice.
On the way home from the party tonight I was thinking about morality and right and wrong and all that deep stuff. I mean, I hear all these people saying things like, "she's immoral" or "that's wrong" or "I wouldn't do that because I'm a good person" when refering to things like alcohol and drugs and sometimes sex. I mean, who has the right to judge anyone else's actions? Who is it that gets to decide what is moral for other people? I can sit there and say these are my morals and this is what I would do and this is what I would not do, but how can any one person decide that about someone else? What gives that person the right to criticize and judge someone else's morals? And, for that matter, what gives society the right to put up "moral standards" for every single person? How are we to know what's right for others when most people have trouble defining morality for themselves? I just don't see how anyone can be moral and then try to apply their morals to other people because morality is an individual thing. It differs from person to person and only the individual who creates that moral code can be held to it because it is their personal belief and their own individual ideas.
FYI this was not sparked by anything at the party tonight, but rather by some things people said in England and have said throughout the years. We can't go around trying to force people to conform to our moral standards. Rather we should accept that theirs may be/are different from ours and just try and live by our own individual moral standards. Judging each other and separating ourselves because of our different beliefs is not going to help this country. It's that very thing that got us into this whole mess (when discussing the messes that areAmerican Society, Morals, Government, Politics, and Foriegn Policy). We need to be more humanitarian and thoughtful and accepting of each others differences. People are going to have different ideas and beliefs just as they are going to have different fingerprints and skin color. Judging based on race is wrong, as is judging based on moral standards. We should stop trying to change others morals. We just need to accept each other.
sorry if thats not up to my usual depth but summer has left my brain mushy and I'm just begining to get back into this deep thinking thing.
oh. got my TCU room assignment today. Montcrief Hall, the ultimate co-ed Honors and athlete dorm on campus! I am so excited. I currently have no roomate listed but I have one. I just don't know who yet, which is wierd since I know what room number I'm in. Strange indeed. But oh well.
to end, a quote:
"Humanity does not ask us to be happy. It merey asks us to be brilliant on its behalf."
as inspiring as it is depressing. thanks nia.

yes, its amazing. i have found your blog once more. and i highly think that since i am still alive you should comment on my death xanga becuase that would mean a bunch. thank you for saying it was moving...that ment a lot as well. yes, i agree. screw people who judge us on morals. i like that we can joke about them between us and that we are accepting of each other despite our differences. it is what makes us...us. yes, that would be correct. what makes one person happy may not make the next person happy but who should give a rats ass? i dont. do what makes you happy cuz you only live life once. thats my plan at least. i'll try to come home with 2 things and a camera....
forever you are my hero

Nobody has the right to judge anyone's action, for, as you said, that's discrimination. People are just very vocal about comparing other people's moral standards to their own.
Although you do have to admit, moral standards of a lot of people are a bit lower than they were years ago.
Not condemning anybody...just saying.
People today have a lot more trouble keeping what they believe quiet. Freedom of Speech is an often-called-upon excuse. Nobody cares, really, if Britney Spears is pregnant, or that Jennifer Garner conceived Ben Affleck's baby before they were married, unless you begin to talk trash about them. When it comes to politics, this is a good thing, but people tend to take it too far to the extent that they criticize other people: their friends, aquaintances, enemies, people they've never even met.
It's sad, really.
I'm in the same boat as you. Working on getting my deep-thought groove back. Although you have to admit my 'respect' groove wasn't too bad.
Good seeing you tonight at Sonic night. I hope we can keep up these nights and that we can hang out soon, once you tire of your younger friends. : )
haha pam. we do need to hang out. and be nice to my younger friends. yes your respect groove was nice. and tonight at sonic...pam it was me and you again. like, our crazy sarcastic cynical joking fun thing, you know? we haven't had that in a while, certainly not in england and not really for the last few weeks. it was nice to see the fun pam and fun kelly present at the same time again. yay.
