6:43 pm
I'm writing pretty early for tonight because, well, inspiration hit early. Although I can't really call it inspiration because it's such a negative thing for me, so I'll just call it my motive to write. Also, my head hurts and I can't talk to my dear girlfriend since she's off in this place called, "Snowy Mountain". She's just chilling there. Eh eh eh. Get it? Chilling. It's snowy, so it's cold.
_______________________________________
For tonight, I'll be talking about something I really rant on about a lot, and all of you people are surely sick of hearing it. And yes, it will get offensive because I'm an arrogant know-it-all, an obnoxious non-conformist, a self-righteous dick, and also because it will hit a whole lot of people in their alcohol-covered faces.
Yep, it all goes back to alcohol and smoking and partying. Yeah, yeah, I know. I'm an idiotic, narrow-minded, conceited, straight edge kid who thinks his way is the right way. Well, we pretty much all think that way. We all have our opinions, and the reason we have these opinions is because they're what we believe is right. I don't think you would have an opinion and wouldn't believe in it. So I'll accept that your opinion is that there's nothing wrong with drinking or smoking or doing drugs, and in turn, accept that my choice to not partake in these objects is also valid.
So tonight, I won't talk about the people who drink, smoke, do drugs, or just take part in those parties that involve these things. Right now, I want to talk about something else. I'm going to talk about why people get into these things.
Okay, I have to admit that alcohol could sometimes look pretty attractive with all those colorful colors and bottle shapes, but I'd always rather drink soda or maybe Kool-Aid. As for smoking, well, I admit that it would look pretty "bad-ass", but that wouldn't be enough for me to risk my health just to smoke that. I would still need my lungs. As for recreational drugs, well, I won't be a hypocrite because I've always wanted to try this. I just always found it arousing to my curiosity whenever I saw or heard about people feeling extremely good with these, but I decided not to continue wondering because I know that I won't need to risk my health and safety just to have fun. All I need is the company of my loved ones, and a copy of Skyrim. (Can't wait.)
So with all these thoughts I have, I sometimes wonder why these ideas haven't occurred in other people, and then I remember that what is right to me isn't always right to other people. Everyone has their own opinions, like I said.
So now, on to the reasons I think people get into these. Right now, I can only think of a few reasons from my exhausted mind:
1) Peer pressure : affected by one's social life
a) the need to feel "in" with the crowd
b) the feeling of the need to impress other people because of one's views on taking part in these activities.
2) Emotional reasons: some people say it's to relieve stress or depression
3) Social gatherings: to some people, like my family members, alcohol is the key to having a fun gathering. None of us children understand this mentality of theirs, but my dad once explained it this way: when they're already intoxicated, every shallow thing would be a good enough topic to talk about.
I'm not saying that you're stupid or weak if you take part in these things, but I'm saying is that I may think you are. It's nothing personal though. I still love my friends who drink and party or smoke, I just won't take part in these things with them, nor will I with anyone else. I'll try to be less judgmental really, since your lives don't affect me directly anyways, and it's not my health and safety that are being put to risk. But just look at it this way: If I try to persuade you to stop doing these things, then it just means that I love you and that I care for you. But if I give up on you, then it just means that I'll let you do whatever you want. So it's a win-win situation. Although if I troll you on Facebook about it, or if I just ignore you, it means that I wouldn't care whether you live or die.
