...genesis of conflict...

It amazes me how much a given situation can change over such a short amount of time. And no, the fact that I saw "The Day After Tomorrow" over the holiday weekend has nothing to do with it (although I did enjoy the movie). People all around me, myself included, are changing in very drastic and dramatic ways as of late. Some are good, some are really bad, some only so-so. Alternatively, these changes also vary in the incline of the respective changes, in this case meaning how much change, and also in which ways. It really all gives me a headache, but it also reminds me of daytime soaps; retarded to sit through, entertaining nonetheless. I think it's the entertainment value that keeps me involving myself with it instead of just saying 'fuck it'...well, sometimes. Other times, I really do just want to say fuck it. But, certain loyalties prevent me from just dropping certain things and abandoning all hope for some semblence of things going back to something at least similiar to the way things were before. And also, there's the added twist of other individuals arguing in favor of just accepting it, going with it just because it would keep the peace, or giving more chances to people that have already had too many to begin with. Wow, I started talking about a broad range of situations and it suddenly shot straight to one specific thing. (And on a side note, there's WAY too much emphasis being put on that certain thing, too; and yet, no one can seem to veer away from it for very long, it's just so...interesting to talk about and analyze.) Sorry about that...continuing...

As I was saying, lots of changes going on, and I'm proud of the people who are improving their lives and moving forward toward success. For the rest of those still trying, I feel you; I did it for so long I almost forgot what moving forward, moving period even, felt like. And for those still stuck in a rut and not really doing anything about it...uh, ok sure more power to you guys. It just amazes me how little or how much evolving people in my life have done in the years since 1997. Kind of scary when you really take a step back and look at things.

In other news...there is none. Which is sad. I could talk about the new movies I picked up, but who wants to read about that? Heh...just looked at the title of this blog, which in my typical fashion I name before I even start typing; and I realized that this blog just might create a conflict or two...that's funny!
