post 13. say no to emo-ism!

noticed recent trend amongst some of those i know to adopt what i think is an emo attitude.

first, yes, everyone has bad days. yes, itx okay to mope around for a while. heck, i think itx therapeutic sometimes to wallow in your own mucky-muck.

but not to the extent that it becomes a lifestyle.

don't dress in black all the time. don't look like your best friend died all the time. and even if your best friend did, crap, they would slap you a good one and ask you to move the f on. worse, don't sit around not living.

life is here, now. there comes a point when wallowing in your own mucky-muck becomes just plain unhygienic and you start to stink!

write a story, write a song, paint a portrait, go beat up a mountain, do something with all that emotion and move on. you can always come back and emo later and do something with it again. see, constructive crap-ism. but live life, now! now! now!

say no to (pointless) emo-ism!

i should add beer drinking as a constructive way to beat emo-ism. best way to get a good night's sleep unplagued by any nasty thoughts of feelings: 6-pack of victoria bitter. if it doesn't work, add another 6-pack. personally tested out.
