It's not the end of the world as we know it...
Today folks, a very annoyed James has decided to focus today on the end of the world, or lack therof.

You see, I notice that many of you have a tendency to believe that when you have problems in your life, that this is the end of the world.

When in fact, it really isn't, you see, the world goes on for the rest of us. This cannot be helped. Unless you're like Sephiroth, the likely hood that you will end the world becuase you're life turned sour is pretty unlikely. (Hell, Sephiorth didn't even manage to do it.)

A huge old asteroid smacking into the Earth's surface, engulfing it in destructive fire, that's the end of the world. A nuclear war tearing apart the nations in nuclear fires... that's the end of the world. The Biblical Apocalypse, that's the end of the world.

One's lack of a love life, parents being bitchy, not having a job, going back to school, all of these such things... are not the end of the world. At most, they are a setback in your life.

Life will constanly be filled with setbacks. A truth of reality as we so far know it is, everyone cannot get their way. If they could, this world wouldn't work very well, nay? If I wanted a person to myself, and you wanted a person to yourself, and it was the same person... someone would be screwed over. Or our soceity would be much different... one of the two.

The point is, a fact of life is that we will all be set back. How you deal with those set backs, determines how much you enjoy your life.

Folks, it's not very attractive when every time one speaks with you, you are telling us the same second verse, same as the first... it is going to get frustrating. Why? Becuase we all have our own problems... it's not that we don't care about your problem, but we have to deal with our own as well.

And if there is something I do not tolerate, it's people who say they should just kill themselves now. Even in joking. I do not tolerate suicide in any form... it's more often then not a cry for attention that I will not tolerate. Playing with the feelings of your friends in this fashion is inhumane and is the worst kind of cry for attention.

Now, I'm not pointing this at any certain direction, (Including you, you know who you are...), however, it's a trend I see too much, and I'm really going to start tolerating it less and less. I figured if I could be a nice guy, in my fashion, that perhaps it wouldn't come up as much... perhaps I could help, but at this point, while any and everyone has my condolensces, and I am worried about all of you... I won't put up with this kind of crap anymore.

Uh, beyond that, I love all of you as my friends... and I hope I don't offend anyone too much... but I just generally have no tolerance for that sort of stuff at this point. Thanks everyone, and a good day!
