There\'s no such thing as good information or bad information.  Someone decides for himself what he does with that information.  A person chooses.  That is the only thing that a person does.  A smart person looks at as much information as he can consume and makes a well-formed decision based on that.  A stupid person makes a decision based on impulse and desire.  A smart person can take a very tragic event like death and turn it into a positive, life-changing experience.  If a person blames any behaviour or scenario on a tragic event only does so because she is unable to learn from that event and it\'s going to haunt her for the rest of her life!I\'m going through a transition right now.  I can feel it.  It excites me for so many things.  My ideas, thoughts and beliefs are coming together, forming one solid tenet about the world around me.  It\'s so compelling because I see colliding theories all over the place.  Ideas I believe to be isolated to a specific scenario, I\'m able to transplant to totally different scenarios with amazing results.  I have the same thoughts about ideas that people have when they say \"it\'s a small world\"; our world is perceived as too complex.I\'m not making blakid so I can tell people how to run their life.  I\'m making it so I can ask my fellow human beings, the people I call family, friends or \"associates\" questions that I\'m unable to ask in person.  I\'m not perfect, in fact I am able to see my flaws and it kills me that I\'m unable to just get over them.  But I still want to know things, and if it\'s not okay to say them in person, I\'ll go to other methods of communication.  The internet offers choice, people that don\'t care to know or voice their opinion don\'t have to, as well as true freedom, I\'m not going to judge anyone, nor put anyone down.  I simply want to know a little bit more information.Our lives have become way too complex.  It\'s like one huge drama-fest that I want to get out of.  But I can\'t, unless I live in a shack somewhere, secluded from all traces of civilization.  I don\'t want to do that.  I like people so much.  I want to try to simplify my life a little bit more, but I\'m not organized to do that.  I\'m too stubborn as a person to let someone win a useless argument, let alone admit that I\'ve maybe made a illogical choice that I now have to deal with.  I wish I could have the courage to just say it.  Just say things that I am thinking and really want to say.  But usually I let the words get in the way.  I can\'t make my thoughts sound out loud anything like how they\'re played in my head.I\'m on my way to becoming a smart person, I can feel it.  I\'m a person built upon morals and true values, not selfish desires and quick impulses.  I think twice before I speak and know when to pick a fight.  I strive to learn a little bit more and to become a better person overall.  I treat the people I love and care about (and most of the people I don\'t) with the utmost respect and dignity.  I give people second, third, fourth, fifth chances...  I don\'t care what he did in the past (for the most part), I will trust a man\'s word and give him an honest chance to redeem himself.The list could go on for a long time, but the one trait of myself that I like the most is the ability to make a lot of people laugh.  It happens differently for different people, but the sound of laughter is my absolute favourite.  Loud laughs, quiets laughs, funny sounding laughs, snorts, tears, old man laughs, little baby girl laughs, my laugh, your laugh.  Laughing is awesome!  I like making people laugh at my expense, I have no problem with that.  Hearing someone laugh reminds me that everything will be alright.  Tomorrow will come and I will be here.  Simple as that. http://blakid.net/chiefqualakon/excited-to-grow-018
