Out of Sight Out of Mind - Confessional

“Absence makes the heart grow fonder” – I’m sure my friends and family wished that were true for me.

“Out of sight, Out of mind” – this is my reality.

I don’t know what it is about my view on relationships, but whenever I part ways with someone, I swiftly and almost completely detach myself from them emotionally and conversationally. It’s my nature.

When I’m in a friendship, I’m ALL IN. I’m your confidante, your loyal ear, your counsel, your encouragement, your reality check, your “whatever you need me to be.” But the minute the connection is tested by a physical /geographical distance, for the most part, things fall apart. I realize, however, that oftentimes my “friendships,” especially in college, were pretty much one-sided, with a lot of thought/energy flowing from me but not much flowing back. So, why are people shocked when a temporary separation ends up being “goodbye?” Oh, I know! Because they were so self-centered and smug in the relationship that they didn’t realize how little work they put into its upkeep. And while I'm completely happy devoting myself to someone, I’m not stupid. When the season ends, I’ll take the good and leave the bad and useless behind.

Let’s get 2 things straight, though:

1) There are several individuals I’ve met throughout high school and college that RECIPROCATED the energy and feelings I gave to the relationship. Those people are still friends in my mind. Though I may not talk to them often, I’m wired so that those feelings NEVER die. The minute I see them or even hear their voice, my past emotions for them rush me, and I’m back to feeling as I did at the height of our relationship. Honestly, If you make an impression on me and show a genuine selflessness at some point towards me, I’m hooked on you. No distance will ever make me forget you or allow the feelings to wane.

2) For the friendships that do die, it’s not that I didn’t value them or like the people. The opposite was true. I was naturally drawn to those people for whatever reason. I enjoyed the time we had and the mutual impact made. IRONICALLY, I have found that in the relationships that fall out, the friend seems more attached to me than I am to them, despite me putting in most of the work. I guess they assumed I was their lackey, forever devoted, and really nice, hahah. I mean, I am devoted and nice, but that completely ignores the much bigger/more dominant elements of my personality, lol. That’s funny when I think about it.

Unfortunately, my "out of sight mindset" has caused many of my GOOD friends to think I don’t care and have forgotten them. Thus, they move on and either forget or get angry with me...that can be heartbreaking. There is one high school friend in particular that won’t give me the TIME OF DAY and blatantly ignores me. I’ve been trying to communicate for over 2 years. If he doesn’t respond by my birthday, I’ll drop him from my mind & heart. I don’t want to, but I know I can.

I guess it’s confusing because no matter if the friendship is REAL or one-sided (and destined for death), I still seemingly give the same amount of me and react the same during separation.
The true test of my friendship then lies in my reaction when reunited. If I’m awkward, not a good sign. If I smile and laugh and am emotional, I really valued you and, chances are, loved you.

To the good friends that think I've moved on - I haven’t. I’m still here for you.

Be well,

Will you be my friend forever? □ Yes □ No □ Maybe

The company I work at has a staff of about 9 or 10, give or take a few volunteers. I'm close to all of ONE person there...and only because she's one of my best friends to start with. Even then, she's only there 1 out of the 6 days I'm there. I'm friendly with most. Cordial at the least (although one guy may beg to differ...he creeped me out first so it's inconsequential). I don't really go clubbing. I don't really attend alumni things. I was never part of a big organization in college. I don't like making calls (I will gladly answer though). Looks like my circles are pretty small.

So will you be my friend forever? I hope so! =) I know I put in my best efforts to keep close friends close and my not so close friends...I don't know..on my list to chat up once in awhile? This is not to say I haven't lost touch with some people. It happens. Some people just stop responding to my efforts. A friendship, even a peripheral one, shouldn't be so damn hard to keep up. If they don't think I'm worth their time, then it was a waste of MY time to even try. But I try nonetheless. I'm stubborn like that. Some others just kind of disappear. Shrug.
If I can't find you on Facebook, well then what else can I do?

I don't measure the depth of my friendship by the amount of interactions we have. Some friends I can have minimal correspondence with and it'd still be great every time we chat or talk on the phone.

I don't ask much from friends. Just that they keep me in mind every so often. Why is it so hard for people to stay friends with me? Am I that forgettable?

PSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHH! Can't be it.
I am UNforgettable!

I give my all to friends. I'm not the most outgoing person but I'm personable. If you ask me for help, I will help as best I can. Sometimes I need reminders (I have a terrible memory) but I'll get to it. I don't keep a tally of favors but I do expect people to reciprocate the same level of commitment. It's an unreasonable expectation, I know. But like all my expectations, I just call it hope and when it doesn't come through...well, it was just hope, right?

It still hurts me when people blow me off or take advantage of me. I dwell on these things. I'm pretty persistent in trying to figure out why. None of the answers make me happy. Sometimes I get really sad about it. Sometimes I blow up. Either way, friendships stay lost and it's NOT happy times.

Post-college, I expected all my friends to still be BEST CRAZIES FOREVER!!! We'd talk! We'd chat! We'd blitz each other forever! I refused to believe that losing contact was a possibility. I mean c'mon. We were college freshmen when Facebook was still TheFacebook and everyone was having fun adding each other left and right. We MADE Facebook. Facebook was how we kept in touch during off terms and study abroads! How can we possibly lose touch?!

LE SIIIIIIIIIIIIGH

I miss a lot of my friends. It's hard sometimes to keep up with people whose lives are going at different paces. My friends that are still in college are living the college life and I can only get so psyched about things I don't have any idea about. But I do appreciate the efforts they put in to try to keep me in the loop. =) My friends that are doing the post-bacc/grad school thing...ALWAYS WITH THE STUDYING! Hahaha It's hard trying to not get in their way. Holla when you get some free time! And my working friends, it's hard to find some time when they're not super worn out after a long workday.

Even so, I manage to stay best of friends with three girls I met in high school. We all went to different colleges. Majored in different things. Work in different parts of the city. But we still see each other every so often and I definitely hit them up on gchat whenever I can. We laugh. We cry. We mostly laugh though. Great times!

So why do some friendships endure? Why do some fizzle out? Why do some shoot themselves right to hell?

I think it's effort. I'm lazy about a lot of things. But I do my share with friendships.

So...check a box and pass that note back already!

23/F LF Good Time

Wow… I never realized how much school was a big part of my social life until I graduated from College. Think about it; you make friends in high school and college based on who you have class with or who is in your dorm and then you branch out from there. It hit me when I moved back home to a neighborhood of old people and middle school kids that it might be a little difficult to make friends. I mean in college, I met most of my friends at an event for students considering going to Dartmouth. I kept in contact with some of them over the summer and when I arrived there in September, most of the ones I had met actually lived in my dorm cluster. Over time I made other friends through clubs I joined and that kind of thing and we all formed a really close bond. Currently the crew is centralized in NYC with a few of us dotted elsewhere so it’s hard to keep in contact. It’s weird but…the further you live away from someone…the less you have to talk about. Think about it! I call one of my New York friends and its like “How is school/work? How are you? How is your family?” I feel like I’m their grandmother or something. We no longer know the same people or live in the same area so I’m not gonna know “who cheated on who” or why this couple broke up because I don’t know those people. It took me moving a thousand miles away to realize how hard this was going to be…

Making new friends is a task in itself. For one…I really don’t have a lot of time to go out and make friends. Here is my week:

M-F:
5:30 a.m. Wake up
6:45 a.m. Arrive at work
6:00 p.m. Leave work
7:30 p.m. Arrive home from work
10:30 p.m. Go to bed

Sunday Reserved ME TIME (though certain people are encroaching upon this…no names…)

I really only have Saturday to go out and do stuff and half the damn time I have to go in to work because some attorney decides Friday at 5:45 p.m. that they want something done by Monday morning. If that’s the case…tada… I can’t go out Friday and I have to get up at the crack of dawn Saturday to meet that lawyer at work. Now I’m tired Saturday too and don’t feel like going out. If I’m off on Saturday, one of my other friends has to work or is sick, so we rarely see each other. I’m going to have to figure something out because I do need a social life but I don’t want to be a damn zombie because I can’t ever get more than 5 hours of sleep…Screw adult life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Basically, my advice is this: Try to live near your college friends (or with them) when you graduate because once you move to a new city to start your full time job…it will be hell trying to find and make new friends and to maintain those old friendships. Trust me…. Read more...

Piercing Insight

I am a creature of habit. Currently watching Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind for easily the 500th time.

Stan: I saw you two talking. So I waved to you, and you giggled, you know.
Mary: How'd I look?
Stan: You looked happy. Happy with a secret.

I like to plan each step of my life very carefully. I know exactly where I will be 3, 5 and 10 years from now. In all honesty, I'm probably not a free spirit in any sense of the world. Oddly enough, it was these things that pushed me towards body modding. I was that guy in the office who everyone thinks they have completely figured out and in my case, they were probably right. And then something as simple as a piercing changed all that for me. It was fun living each moment of the day with a delicious secret. I found myself more interesting.

A little over a year ago, I told myself that if everything went according to plan, I could have a rather unusual reward. Everything seems to be falling into place, so in a few months I plan to get two more piercings to reward myself for the LSAT/law school thing. With that said, these will be my last two piercings. I'm definitely not into heavy body modding and the recovery time on some of these things is a killer. Not to mention that all piercings come with the unfortunate side effect of requiring you to spend the rest of your life being very careful about your movements.

It should go without saying that if you decide to try any kind of body modding, your body is your canvas. BUT don't make the mistake of using part of the canvas that people will see when you're on an interview. Law and business in particular are staggeringly conservative fields and setting yourself apart from the pack is almost never a good thing.



Watchmen will be disappointing if you've read the novel and decent if you haven't. It simply will suffer from the fact that no movie adaptation could be as gripping as the book. Then again, they don't even try. It's like watching the videos terrorists release, the characters you love draped in rags, abused and humiliated. Kudos to anyone who got the Penny-Arcade reference.

Hit me if you dare!

Ok…I’m going to introduce you to a part of me you may or may not like and you most definitely won’t agree with on many levels. I am… a bitch… and I have little sympathy for people who do stupid things. Michael Vick murdering dogs for the SPORT of dogfighting can rot in jail…I don’t feel sorry for him. Child molesters and sex offenders SHOULD have to register and there should be a big red X on their house marking that this person will do something bad to your children. Murderers should suffer in a cell with no tv…no nothing… don’t feel sorry for them (except for the ones who are wrongly locked up i.e. didn’t commit the crime…). I like the death penalty for those who are proven beyond a doubt/have admitted to be the criminal behind murders/rapes etc.

But there are innocent bystanders who do dumb stuff too…and I can’t extend my sympathy to them either. There was a kid whose hat fell off of a Six Flags Over Georgia ride. He hopped 2 fences that said “Danger…Do Not Enter” and had his head lopped off by the ride… Don’t feel sorry for ya kid. Sorry for your family maybe…but you…no. I think he was like 16 years old… he should have known better. AND FOR A HAT!!? And this whole thing with Chris Brown and Rihanna…if its true that she is trying to reconcile with him anyway… I’ll laugh if /when she gets beaten up this time. People like that don’t change…next time you piss him off…he may not just beat you up.

Now…there’s several reasons why I’ve now turned my back on her in particular. She has the means to escape what the media has said was an abusive relationship even prior to this incident. She has money, the love and support of family, celebrity friends, and the nation, and she has no ties with him such as kids and a marriage… There are women out there who have none or few of the above who manage to escape. And there are some who actually can’t. They may have kids and may lose them to the husband and never get to see them, or they may not be able to support themselves on their own. I do feel sorry for them and hope that they can eventually get out. Yea Rhianna…you love him, and maybe he loves you a bit… but if it was this easy to beat the crap out of you and then reconcile…then why wouldn’t he do it again? It’s a cycle my dear, and you have got to break it.

Me… I wish a guy would put his hands on me…especially a skinny POS like Chris Brown. He may get a lucky shot in or two… or he may actually beat me up. But I’ll tell you one thing…he’ll never be able to sleep around me or eat anything I cook. If I can’t beat you up… you will get what’s coming to you in one way or the next. I don’t like to be embarrassed and I love to get my revenge…I could be nice and just move out etc…but that’s not my style. I have never been hit by a man (besides my brothers growing up) so I can’t imagine what was going through her mind at the time. But I know the last thing I’d be thinking is… “God I love him. Will he stop hitting me so we can get back together”.

Ignorant HATERS..Is that what it means to be American?!

Update on the reactions to the appointment of Dr. J.Y. Kim as the next president of Dartmouth College:

I am FUMING at this mass email from a current Dartmouth student that was forwarded to me:

Yesterday came the announcement that President of the College James Wright will be replaced by Chinaman Kim Jim Yong. And a little bit of me died inside.

It was a complete supplies.

On July 1, yet another hard-working American's job will be taken by an immigrant willing to work in substandard conditions at near-subsistent wage, saving half his money and sending the rest home to his village in the form of traveler's checks. Unless "Jim Yong Kim" means "I love Freedom" in Chinese, I don't want anything to do with him. Dartmouth is America, not Panda Garden Rice Village Restaurant.

Y'all get ready for an Asianification under the guise of diversity under the actual Malaysian-invasion leadership instituted under the guise of diversity. It's a slippery slope we are on. I for one want Democracy and apple pie, not Charlie Chan and the Curse of the Dragon Queen. I know I sure as shit won't ever be eating my Hop dubs bubs with chopsticks. I like to use my own two American hands.


There are no words to describe how much these words hurt and infuriate me. And apparently I was not the only one to be negatively affected by this bigotry. These "apologies" were sent out to the Dartmouth community:

Dear Dartmouth,

The comments I made in this morning's message were inappropriate. They were crap. I wanted us to laugh at racism, but it didn't work. I executed my satire poorly. It was insensitive. I'm sorry. I hope we can all learn from this and move on. Please accept my apology and excuse me while I beat myself with the silver spoons I was fed with all my life.

Sincerely,

White Male '0Priveleged

***************************************************

From the desk of GGMM:

Dear Dartmouth,

We are sorry for failing to edit the humor of our interns more closely. While the introduction was intended to make our audience laugh at the idea of racism in general, the message was clearly misinterpreted by many. We hope in the future that Dartmouth's new president can be the subject of more tasteful mockery as the 16 before him have been.

Sincerely,
GGMM

KILL YOURSELF! THAT IS NOT AN APOLOGY!!! There is no remorse. Is there no shame? I am at SUCH a loss for words. I don't even know where to begin dissecting these messages. If I wasn't more rational, I would haul ass to campus right now and make these people...never mind. I do not need to catch a case right now.

What do you think? Do they have a right to irresponsibly spew idealogical sewage in the form of public emails? Should they at all feel at least some remorse for being complete pricks? What are your thoughts on the "apologies"?

SNOWDAY!!! *~ happy dance ~*

After surviving the last 5 winters in the tundra (WHY did I not avoid winters in college when off-terms are an option? I DO not know) and finally escaping the perpetual wintry hell, you would think that I would dread a foot of snow dumped on the city over the course of the night.

NOPE!!! I am STILL a kid at heart. A foot of snow means GOOD NEWS! Now, don't get me wrong. I did NOT go frolic in the snow early yestermorning. I am way too attached to my phalanges to subject myself to frostbite. But I sure was lovin' that 6:30AM text from my teacher friend telling me that it is officially a SNOW DAY!!! She was rather enthused and couldn't go back to sleep. I told her she was silly because the thought of no school was warm enough to lull me RIGHT back to sleep.

No Scho0o0oL! No Sch0o0o0o0o0o0o0oL!!
~ * happy ~ happy * two ~ step * ~
\shimmy/shimmy\~/shake\shake/
NO SCHO0O0O0O0O0O0O0O0OL!!!

Of course, I don't even need to be up all that early on a regular school day since I don't start work until well into the afternoon. But who cares? Who DOESN'T love a snow day?!

Well, I'm sure plenty of people that aren't enrolled at a school or work in a school were kind of peeved about having to trek through the mush. But stop boohooing. It wasn't even THAT much snow. Thank you to all the people that shoveled the sidewalks though! Much appreciated =)

The last snow day I had was in college. And if they closed down MY school, it was SERIOUS. I did a little bit of frolicking and a LOT of shoveling. My poor little Corolla was BURIED. MY POOR BACK! Man, that was a workout!

The funniest snow day was by far the last one in high school. NYC's brilliant Board of Education closed down school two days in a row because the weather forecast showed multiple feet of snow. WAMP WAMP! Not even a melted little flake to color the salt-bleached sidewalk. I'm pretty sure the BoE was embarrassed so they decided against a third snow day. WAMP WAMP Part DEUX!!! BLIZZARD!!! Nothing kept my mom from shipping me off to school that day and nothing stopped me from going buck wild at Battery Park after school armed with nothing more than cheap gloves and a disposable camera (obviously pre-digital camera age).

It was so nice to have one day off and revel in the fact that no boogery kids will be asking me to help them with their homeworks or for permission to use the bathroom. It's also nice to let these kids have a day of fun outside of the classroom. I know what it's like to be in school from 8AM to 6:30PM. It's rough. It is really draining to have to pay attention for so long when the one thing you want to do is just chill out...or wil' out, whichever fits your personality.

I don't think I'll ever stop loving a snow day. A free pass to do absolutely nothing? C'mon. Even a recent grad on the prowl for validating that hard earned college degree can appreciate it.

Need Vs. Want: Round 1 - Fight!

Let’s cut the BS. Seriously.
If I learned one thing this past weekend, it's this:

People actually know what they NEED and just fool themselves into thinking that what they WANT is a necessity.

Think about that statement. Think about how many of your problems stem from you mistaking a “want” for a “need.”

I've reasoned that our “wants” are tied to short term, immediate desires while "needs" relate to our environment and long-term goals. Of course the two can overlap, but generally speaking, wants and needs are distinctly separate. We as humans tend to over-value the present and undervalue the future, making it seem almost logical to consider an immediate want more important than a distant need.

Speaking on a more personal note, I was originally going to start this entry with the line, “I keep letting things get in the way of my dreams.” But, it's more honest to rephrase this as “I keep overestimating and satisfying my wants instead of pursuing my needs.”

Do you do the same? I don't think I'm alone in this.

Here’s a Test For You:
You are currently an unemployed college graduate, unhappily living at home with your parents. You are somewhat isolated from your friends and increasingly disgruntled. Your passion is music and life’s goal is to work in the music industry, possibly as a singer/musician. Unfortunately, you have yet to go public with your talent.

Which is the need and which is the want?

A) Find a venue in which to perform your music publicly, so that you can be discovered and progress.
B) Put yourself in a peaceful and positive environment that clears your mind and distances you from the source of unrest

* If you haven’t figured it out, this “case study” is based on my current situation, and I made the Wrong choice this past weekend. I chose to satisfy the “Want” instead of the “Need,” and it was only afterwards that I realized my mistake.

What do you think is NEEDED? I learned my lesson, and now I know. Think hard before making your final decision.

Be well, Read more...

*Highlights* - My President is ASIAN!!!

GOTHAM DAYS says:

The dear President Jimmy (Wright, not Carter) of my alma mater announced his plans to retire and has been on the hunt for a successor ever since.

The search has finally ended and it was announced today that the 17th president of Dartmouth College will be Dr. Jim Yong Kim.

THAT'S RIGHT. THE NEW JIMMY IS ASIAN!

First Asian President of an Ivy League Institution! WOOOOOOOOH!

His credentials are no doubt very impressive. I hope that he will be able to do justice to the legacy J.Wright is leaving behind.

Dartmouth College prides itself in the undergrad experience as we are the only Ivy League college. Our grad schools are amazing in their own right but the College is always The College. My hope is that he will be able to preserve that aspect of Dartmouth. Research is great, but we're a people place.

Just the manner of how I got the news is indicative of how connected we all are to the college. An IM from a fellow alum of the college. A blitz from a friend who is still a student at the college. A blitz from the trustees. A blitz from President Wright himself! And of course, a Facebook message from the Asian alumni association (DAPAAA). The network is incredible. The messages were supportive of J.Wright's decision.

This year is one of many incredible changes and advances.

Best of luck, Dr. Kim! And happy retirement, President Wright!

Jimmy. Meet Jimmy.

Rock on.

*Highlights* - Simulated Rape? That's STILL a NO!

GOTHAM DAYS says:

A Japanese video game company has released an utterly ABHORRENT piece of "entertainment." No. Correction. This game is the THIRD disgusting game from the company (one of which is called Battle Raper...that's not a typo).

This new game is called RapeLay. As opposed to Good Consensual Lay.

Really, son? WHY would anyone put in the time to make a video game that simulates not only rape, but forced abortions among other repulsive actions of sexual aggression performed against not only grown women but children as well.

WHO are the sick people that:
1. came up with the game concept to begin with
2. bought the first disgusting game to give the company incentive to make the second
game?
3. bought the second disgusting game to give the company incentive to make the third game?
4. are buying and playing this third game?

Amazon has made a conscious decision to halt the sales of RapeLay on amazon.com. I had a conversation with a friend about how bad IS this game? It's just a game, right?

I don't think it's JUST a game. Now don't get me wrong. I'm not going to say that violent games are the cause of violent crimes. Sex crimes are on a whole different level because it involves a distinct perversion of the mind. Peeping toms start off with an invasion of privacy. They eventually get bolder and move from voyeurism to molestation. It's not a far jump from molestation to rape.

The argument would be that this game can be a release for these people that have the urge to commit sex crimes. No. There is nothing cathartic about acting out the behavior that you're trying to avoid. Kids that take out their aggression on Bozo the clown (you know, the blow-up toy that bobs back upright after you knock it down) are not calmer or less violent. If anything, it reinforces the behavior.

Now let's compare it to these violent games. How real is casting spells on trees to do your bidding while you run around in a fancy robe casting twinkling spells on big-toothed woodland creatures? Not real at all. How real is flying around in a hovercraft blasting power spikes at aliens? Not real. How real is shooting down a helicopter with a bazooka while running away from a horde of cops that are on you in a high speed chase for committing a string of grand theft auto within a 15 minute frame? Realer but still grossly unreal (at least in the United States).

This game though, TOO real. The action options they allow you and the settings you can choose are too real to have it be only "pretend rape." Even THAT sounds creepy and completely vile.

O, well I guess the upside is they use a pixel mosaic to save your eyes from the nasty privates...because that's most important, your virgin eyes.

That's right. ZIP. Read more...

*Highlights* - Rihanna & Chris: Today's Ike & Tina?

MUSECATTO says:

RiRi STILL Runnin' With CBrown

As little as I care about pop culture, I find it completely ridiculous and upsetting that Rihanna is giving Chris Brown a second chance. There is no excuse for the extent of abuse Chris inflicted on his girlfriend. What's more shocking is that Chris is only 19 years old and engaging in such horrible behavior. When a relationship takes this kind of an abusive turn, especially with such young people, it's a fools hope to expect complete change. Sure, it's great that the two love each other, but I hope Rihanna's friends and family are offering open and honest counsel.

This most recent news makes you wonder though - What did Rihanna do to upset Chris?!  And to take him back so soon, after that much physical/emotional pain...does she feel she deserved the abuse? Does Rihanna blame herself for something? Is she just dependent and needy or is Rihanna simply In Love?

No matter, I just think she should have taken a bit more time before reconciling and rekindling the romance.

Oh well,

*Highlights* - Street Fighter 4

GUY INCOG says:

If you're not already playing Street Fighter 4, you're probably one of those mongoloids that doesn't play video games. In that case, nothing I say here will really convince you to buy a Playstation 3 and the game or go down to your local arcade and get worked over in public by a guy who wasn't even watching the screen. I'll give it a try anyway.

SF4 combines the technical, well-balanced gameplay, iconic characters and 2d mechanics of its predecessors with updated artworks and Cammy breaking necks left and right.

*Highlights* - Who's Up For A Game of Herpes?

SOUTHERN SUBSTANCE says:

Herpes Linked To Pong


Hey all....I saw this article and had to post on it since this game was a big part of life at the College I attended. I myself have indulged in a few games though I was never very good and I HATE beer!


Pong is a really interesting drinking game and can be played several different ways. You'll have to wikipedia it though, as there are many versions of the rules to the game, and I don't know them. I have played both major variations, with and without a paddle, but I can definitely say I prefer the kind with a paddle. The main point of the game is to drink, or rather, drink less than the other team. Cups of beer are set up on opposite sides of a table, and the objective is for your team to get the ball into the other team's cups and make them drink. If you simply hit the cup with the ball, they drink half, but if you land the ball directly in...the whole cup of beer must be consumed. Hopefully you know your partner well enough because you may very well have to drink out of a cup that their lips have already touched. Definitely not a game for the faint of heart and germophobes (lookin' @ you Musecatto :P).

How glad I am that I escaped the pong herpes:
