Current music:Bjork - Human Behaviour

Well if it's not one thing it's another
Just as I start to get over the infections, my other wisdom tooth decides to explode. Ow.

It's cracked the one next to it, so I think they'll have to take two.. I'm loosin all my teeth here people! Poo.....

Oh well.

I've always been a big advocate of helping people. Helping them do better, get out of destructive habits, deal with insecurities, make themselves stronger, and improve the quality of their life. Seeing people improve their situations and become happier is one of my favorite things to see. But tonight I got a grissly reminder, that most of the time, if not all, people don't actually listen. THey claim they want help, they claim that they want to get better, that they want their lives to be better. THat they want to let go of their fears, and do what it takes to make themselves happy for the first time in a while. But it doesn't happen. They don't actually want to. They get stuck in their little ruts, that even though their problems make them miserable, their comforting. If they stay the same, nothing changes and they don't have to venture into new territory, where they won't know what to do. It may make them miserable, but it's familiar, and humans would prefer familiarity over the oppurtunity to improve their situation. It's depressing. And I can't help but think, out of all of my trying, have I actually ever helped anyone? Is anyones life better because of my assistance?

I'm trying to improve my situation. Currently looking for a flash animator for an on-line series, and workin up the money for a 3CCD digi-cam so that I can start doing high-quality music videos, short skits, and practice for when Attone is ready. I'm trying to improve myself. But even still, I would rather help other people improve theirs, rather than just let them sit there. I wish I could honestly say I helped someone make their life better, something worth living. But I don't think I can. Shit.

Oh well, fuck it. At least I joined the Greenstar softball team. The Naturals are gonna kick ass this season!

That sucks hun, you sound just like me. People never want to do better for fear they will perhaps fall harder on their face than initially. And I have a moler that is drilling a hole into the side of my tooth so that and between some molers and wisdom teeth because shits empacted I need 5 teeth removed and I keep putting it off because I work a lot and need to be able to talk on the phone. Ugh to us! LOL. IT...........HAPPENS............... :P I know I'm fucking up your rhythm yo! :P I totally buthered the word rhythm I know I know I did.

Ah! Oh man, you are having some tough time in the teeth department. You must have really pissed the tooth fairy off. She is visiting you in your sleep and kicking you in the mouth or something.
    Hmmmmmmm. I understand your delimia with helping people. Where is the line between helping and being a crutch? It's always shifting and their is no way to know for sure. Ultimately, we can never know whether someone else's life is better for our help. What is better anyway. If get somebody their dream job through some magical contact that seems to be really good and helpfull,... until they take the on the job training, there is a huge accident and they are crippled for life. Now, its not so helpful. Context will always play a role and help is not a discrete point in time. It ripples and flows through time affecting the rest of the person's life. Sometime in very little insicnificant ways and sometimes to extreme.
    I'm a damn sucker and I know it. I am certainly not very smart about anything, so I don't really have any sort of advice I could even hope to give you. The only thing I figured out after 30 years is that when it comes down to it, you never know whether helping others makes them better, but you always know, %100 of the time, that helping others makes *you* better.
    I think I got that out of a fortune cookie. ;D

That subject heading sounds like I was sick, but I wasn't. Never the less, knowing you makes me feel better, so there! You've made me better, you greenstar-working-zombie-loving-superstar!
