D&D as an excuse
D&D is for Drugs and Drinking
now i want you to know that i am one to have the occasional drink/drinks and i do enjoy it...on the other hand i have never nor will i ever do drugs i am not against people who do do drugs but i personally will not take part in that activity.
People are now using drugs and drinking as an excuse for teh choices that they make. i for one dont think you should regret your choices because you are the one that made them and at that time they might have been the better choice but i also feel that making excuses for yourself is ridiculous. a lot of people also make excuses to make themself feel better and set their mind at ease but if you come to the realization that you did something and it diddnt work out in the best way it is easier for you and others to realize that you made a mistake and everyone can get over it
the other day i was talking to someone that said that they (like me) does not regert the choices that this particualr person has made. they went on saying that "this one time i was soo wasted and i did ....." ( we wont get into particulars) then went even further by saying "i was soo high this one time that i......" and it occured to me that it didnt make sense and this person was being a hypocrite by making excuses for the things that they had done.
i know that i have made and excuse or two before and i understand that sometimes when you are under the influence of drugs or drinking that you are not totally aware of what is going on and at times you might not even remember what happened but it WAS your choice to get that wasted in the first place and everyone knwos what the consequences are of both events and if you took the risk of drugs or drinking then you are responsable for what happened
Break-Ups and Broken Hearts
Break-ups and broken hearts are inevitable in our life. tv and music talk about them all the time but rarely provide the help that we all desire.
Lots of things can cause heartbreak. Some people might have had a romantic relationship that ended before they were ready. Others might have strong feelings for someone who doesn't feel the same way. Or maybe a person feels sad or angry when a close friend moves out of their life. Although the causes may be different, the feeling of loss is the same whether it's the loss of something real or the loss of something you only hoped for. People describe heartbreak as a feeling of heaviness, emptiness, and sadness.
Most people will tell you you'll get over it or you'll meet someone else, but when it's happening to you, it can feel like no one else in the world has ever felt the same way. If you're experiencing these feelings, there are things you can do to lessen the pain. Here are some tips that might help:
Some people find that sharing their feelings with someone they trust someone who recognizes what they're going through helps them feel better. That could mean talking over all the things you feel, even having a good cry on the shoulder of a comforting friend or family member. Others find they heal better if they hang out and do the things they normally enjoy, like seeing a movie or going to a concert, to take their minds off the hurt. If you feel like someone can't relate to what you're going through or is dismissive of your feelings, find someone more sympathetic to talk to. (OK, we know that sharing feelings can be tough for guys, but you don't necessarily have to tell the football team or your wrestling coach what you're going through. Talk with a friend or family member, a teacher, or counselor. It might make you more comfortable if you find a female family member or friend, like an older sister or a neighbor, to talk to).
Remember what's good about you. This one is really important. Sometimes people with broken hearts start to blame themselves for what's happened. They may be really down on themselves, exaggerating their faults as though they did something to deserve the unhappiness they're experiencing. If you find this happening to you, nip it in the bud! Remind yourself of your good qualities, and if you can't think of them because your broken heart is clouding your view, get your friends to remind you.
Take good care of yourself. A broken heart can be very stressful so don't let the rest of your body get broken too. Get lots of sleep, eat healthy foods, and exercise regularly to minimize stress and depression and give your self-esteem a boost.
Don't be afraid to cry. Going through a break-up can be really tough, and getting some of those raw emotions out can be a big help. We know this is another tough one for guys, but there's no shame in crying now and then. No one has to see you do it you don't have to start blubbering in class or at soccer practice or anything. Just a find a place where you can be alone, like crying into your pillow at night or in the shower when you're getting ready for the day.
Do the things you normally enjoy. Whether it's seeing a movie or going to a concert, do something fun to take your mind off the negative feelings for a while.
Keep yourself busy. Sometimes this is difficult when you're coping with sadness and grief, but it really helps. This is a great time to redecorate your room or try a new hobby. That doesn't mean you shouldn't think about what happened working things through in our minds is all part of the healing process it just means you should focus on other things too.
Give yourself time. It takes time for sadness to go away. Almost everyone thinks they won't feel normal again, but the human spirit is amazing and the heartbreak almost always heals after a while. But how long will that take? That depends on what caused your heartbreak, how you deal with loss, and how quickly you tend to bounce back from things. Getting over a break-up can take a couple of days to many weeks and sometimes even months.
Some people feel that nothing will make them happy again and resort to alcohol or drugs. Others feel angry and want to hurt themselves or someone else. People who drink, do drugs, or cut themselves to escape from the reality of a loss may think they are numbing their pain, but the feeling is only temporary. They're not really dealing with the pain, only masking it, which makes all their feelings build up inside and prolongs the sadness.
Sometimes the sadness is so deep or lasts so long that a person may need some extra support. For someone who isn't starting to feel better after a few weeks or who continues to feel depressed, talking to a counselor or therapist can be very helpful.
So be patient with yourself, and let the healing begin
Bitch of Living
God, I dreamed there was an angel
Who could hear me through the wall
As I cried out-like, in Latin
"This is so not life at all
Help me out-out-of this nightmare"
Then I heard her silver call-
She said: "Just give it time, kid
I come to one and all"
She said: "Give me that hand, please
And the itch you can't control
Let me teach you how to handle
All the sadness in your soul
Oh, we'll work that silver magic
Then we'll aim it at the wall"
She said: "Love may make you blind kid-
But I wouldn't mind at all"
It's the bitch of living
(Bitch, just a bitch)
With nothing but your hand
(Just a bitch, yeah)
Just the bitch of living
As someone you can't stand
Do they think we want this?
Oh- who knows?
See, there's showering in gym class...
Bobby Maler, he's the best
Looks so nasty in those khakis
God, my whole life's like some test
Then there's Marianna Wheelan
As if she'd return my call
It's like just kiss some ass, man
Then you can screw 'em all
It's the bitch of living
It's the bitch of living
And living in your head
In your head
It's the bitch
Of living
And sensing God is dead
It's the bitch of living
You watch me-
Just watch me-
And trying to get ahead
I'm calling you one day
It's the bitch of living
Just getting out of bed
All will know
It's the bitch of living
Living, Living
All will know
And getting what you get
It's the bitch of living
And knowing this is it
God, is this it?
This can't be it
Oh God, what a bitch!
