Pet Peeves #1

I thought it would be fun to start blogging about some of my many pet peeves...we can get tons of info out of that :) lol...
So buckle your seatbelts, and here we go.....

I cannot stand a big ego. It makes a person instantly unattractive to me. Why would you want to elevate yourself over others? I understand having confidence in yourself (honestly, it's something I have to work on, but I respect it tremendously)...but in no way should that translate into putting others down and shoving your successes in their faces. Just stop. You're really not that important. I don't care if you're Jay-Z, Kanye, or even just a guy I graduated with... Nothing that you can do can add a day onto your life, can it? If Jesus came out of heaven and still humbled himself in front of others, why can't you?! Narcissism is actually a sign of weakness to me, while humility is a display of strength.

Cartoon Lover

Am I the only person who still finds joy in watching cartoons? Sometimes I wonder if that means I'm still not mature because I'd rather watch Cartoon Network and Adult Swim than Oprah most days...(sigh)

...I say this because, yes, I'm watching cartoons right now. And Looney Tunes at that. I have two DVD sets of classic Looney Tunes episodes...and they never get old, believe me :) Sometimes the kid in you never dies, I guess.

I'm new to this whole blogging thing, but I thought I would start off by at least talking about something that has been on my mind for a while... Love <3

Love is something that has to be reciprocated. I can't stand anything more than feeling like I'm the only one contributing to a relationship. And that thought applies to all relationships, too. You should never be the only one trying to make it work, you should never feel like all your hard work is going unnoticed. Sure, you're not gonna get a medal or a cookie every time you do something right, but a thank you, a hug, any kind of acknowledgment is definitely welcome! If you feel unappreciated for a certain length of time, it may mean that you need to get out... Just saying.
