Rants 21 - 30

Rant 21: Cheating
I'm usually neutral face about this and most of the time I can understand the motives, intent or the backstories but the stories I've heard are incredibly fucked up. FUCKING AT A PARTY I AM LENIENT ON. ONE NIGHT STANDS ARE ON THE EDGE. FUCKING A DIFFERENT PERSON OVER AND OVER AND OVER BUT STAYING WITH THE GIRLFRIEND WITHOUT HER KNOWLEDGE OF SUCH EVENTS. WHAT. THE. FUCK.
IT'S SO HARD TO GET FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS SO NEEDY ASSHOLES JUST GO FOR THE RELATIONSHIPS BECAUSE THEY'RE EASIER. FOR FUCKS SAKE IT'S ALWAYS THE EASY ROUTE ISN'T IT?
I. HATE. ASSHOLES.
I had a re-think about this though. See my notes here.

Rant 23: Photos

So I take photos for parties mainly because no one else can be stuffed to. Back in High School I would relish every photo as a cherished memory to look back on in the future and laugh. It's best to learn from the past to prepare for the future. This view wasn't so much shared once I left High School and I can understand it though it was hard to break a habit. After a lot of disagreements I eventually had to give in and start accepting the reality, in which again, I was ok with as it conflicted with other peoples views. But there comes a stage of annoyance when you take many photos, get a lot of them deleted then accused of not taking many photos. Most were deleted for minor reasons... again I'm ok with that, everyone is entitled to their rights to having their photo in someone's database or on the internet. The main reason for this minor rant is to essentially say that, Yes, I take many photos. Yes, usually around 50% of them get deleted. No, this does NOT make me a bad photographer as it is NOT my fault that someone had an incorrect pose or smile. Don't put it on ME for apparently taking a BAD photo despite it being YOUR fault (Not you, but the people I'm referring to). At a party I took 256 photos, I deleted 15 due to blurriness or lack of detail in the shot. I deleted many more as courtesy. After everyone else had their input I ended up with 144. 112 photos deleted in total. Am I taking photos to make the party seem as if it was just a bland boring time where all we do is pose constantly? Or am I taking photos of the moment, the fun, the laughter experienced? Do you need to be looking at the camera in order for it to be kept? I totally understand what a bad photo is and will appropriately delete it but apparently a bad photo in other peoples eyes is something so incredibly minor no one else would spot it at all. This isn't something I am not dying to change and I'm not putting myself above others. This is something I have to accept and move on with and writing this helps me move forward. But for the love of Gawd do not pit the blame at me if a "bad" photo is taken unless it's a technical issue and furthermore be courteous of others if it's a group photo and you want it down because you didn't look so good in it despite there being multiple others in the shot who are very happy with it.

To reiterate:
- I understand why people want to take the photos down even if its for a less than satisfactory reason
- I understand that a person has their rights when they're in the photo
- This rant was my way to vent and cool down so that I can accept the change and move on like a civilised individual
- This is not attacking anyone I know personally. This is a mixture of personal experience and experience from others who have shared their frustrations with me
- This is an opinion that I am entitled to, if it conflicts with yours then there is nothing I can do about that buddy
- Again, this is not a personal attack or bitch about people I know
- It would be best if this go uncriticised as I'm trying to move on from the topic

Thank you for understanding :)


Rant 24: Gym junkies

I think in this day but not age I can properly relate Gym Junkies to religious people.

- Gym Junkies: goes to a gym frequently in the week
--Religious people: goes to a church once a week
- Gym Junkies: Abuse those who question their lifestyle
--Religious people: Abuse those who question their belief
- Gym Junkies: Work towards physical self improvement with the promise of enrichment
--Religious people: Work towards spiritual self improvement with the promise of enrichment
- Gym Junkies: Sacrifice many luxuries to achieve their goal
--Religious people: ditto
- Gym Junkies: A lot remain single despite their outcome
--Religious people: ditto


Rant 25: Australia Day

So it's time to put in my $0.02

Theres a debate as to whether Australia day should be Citizen day. Personally I think Citizen day would work IF it was ANOTHER public holiday. Australia day should stay as it is on January 26th. Citizen day can be any other day (take your pick, theres over 300 to choose from)

Australia day is the celebration of federation and ordered government. It's not the day in which it was re-named from New Holland to Australia as that occurred (officially) in 1824.

The indigenous call January 26th 'Invasion day' when it's logically on the 29th of April.

The ideal for Citizen day is to celebrate the multiculturalism in Australia. The Government wish to replace Australia day with this day. This doesn't work for a number of reasons.

1. If it weren't for the wars we were involved in, our refugee and immigration count would have been exceptionally lower therefor this day wouldn't have been asked for until later in the future
2. This is a day to celebrate federation not multiculturalism, that already has a day and it's called Harmony Day.
3. It's been Australia day for more than 100 years. Australia is a country built on tradition even if it impedes the way we live though we warp them at times the traditions underlining meaning stays true. Why change now?
4. The other nationalities believe that this day is racist towards them as they feel unwelcome however they too have days to celebrate their country or even faith that would make us feel unwelcome should we be in their countries. HOWEVER we RESPECT their culture and traditions. This works both ways.
5. Australia day is like Christmas. Christmas celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ however through time it seems to be a day to give gifts to each other and Santa being the icon. Australia day is much the same, it's celebrating federation but it is now a celebration of being an Australian by having BBQs and downing kegs of beer.
6. We're not basking about being more superior than the other races. Maybe there are people who think so but that's their opinion and not the opinion shared by the majority of Australians.

There are plenty of other reasons and I'm sure I've skimped on a few things and I may be incorrect in other aspects. I used Wikipedia to source the dates as I really couldn't give a fuck into properly researching this thoroughly. If you disagree that's fine, we live in a free country (despite this country being one of the most strictest lawed countries in the world. But that's a rant for another day.) I'm open to constructive criticism but don't label me a racist. White people cop a lot of racism as it is so don't think you're so special.

And that is my two cents from an Australian/Asian Citizen.


Rant 26: Strict parents

Parents are the people who given up their freedom to create offspring to carry on their
legacy or to simply be a family.  Some parents though can be abusive or submissive but that's
a reality we've come to terms with. The type of parents I'm having beef about is the smothering ones. I can understand asserting dominance to the teen so that's all good but the teenager needs to learn
independence so they can be successful in life. It kills me to see families smothering their kids to
make them dependant on other people. Theirs a fine line between protecting the son or daughter and
causing them to be dependant. It's usually religion or culture that stands in the way. Most of the
time I see girls being trained to be the house wife...
It's a confusing concept when you think deeply into it and its crazy how indoctrinated they become.
The best parents are the ones who teach responsibility and independance without sacrificing the personal safety of the child.


Rant 27: Desperation

Depending on what peoples moral compasses are they come to a point where they some how manage to snag a girlfriend or boyfriend then when they break up they become desperate. This desperation in a person is the biggest friend killer and is utterly fucking annoying. "girlfriend where are you?" "I want my perfect guy already" oh my fucking gawd no one cares! It's also the WORST way to find a partner! As a guy the rule of thumb is to NOT go for a desperate girl because they make the worst girlfriends. Why? Once they're with you, they have a high chance of being clingy and/or when a better opportunity presents itself, no matter how small they'll go for it, so the cheating rate is high.


Rant 28: Dependency on relationships

Continuing from my last rant, their are people who just "can't survive" without a partner. It's like they can't function without someone constantly with them at all times or having that so called "elevated social standing" above everyone else. These are the desperate people who manage to get with other desperate people. As to whether these relationships lasts, I have no idea. From what I've seen they go through partners like toilet paper. It's worse when they're still in school. Desperation runs deep in those educational facilities. One thing I have observed about these kinds of people is that they have little to no clue as to their career. It's as if the partner will decide for them or they'll be dependent on them for whatever they need. They can also be the worst members of society as they will exhibit public displays of affection which infuriates/annoys/disgusts everyone around them. Not to mention they would be horrible friends if they even manage to obtain friendship.
Just to note this isn't everyone as there are multiple scenarios that can change the situation. This is talking in general.


Rant 29: Clingyness

Relationships are all handy dandy and all but something that pisses me off so bad is people who just cannot live without the other. It's as if they feel that the other party won't love them back if they don't give so much fucking attention back to the point where they call if the recipient does not respond in time or spam their inboxes, facebook timelines or text profusely. When a party comes up and one is invited but not the other, for some reason they come as a "package deal" and both need to come like fuck off. We invited YOU. NOT your significant other. What's going to happen if you both come? You'll just stick next to each other all night and make out in the corner not talking to anyone. Just fucking stay home honestly, you're just going to end up doing the same thing you were doing at home at the party so just save the fucking effort and stay home.


Rant 30: Relationship beliefs

STOP THINKING YOU KNOW WHAT A RELATIONSHIP IS ABOUT. EVERYONE HAS A DIFFERENT VIEW ON IT, SHUT THE FUCK UP AND STOP JUDGING OTHER PEOPLES METHODOLOGIES. "He needs to do this, he needs to do that blah blah blah" Shut the fuck up.
