Yep another title tie in. Live with it. Embrace it. Anyway making this post in response to a recent happening on my Facebook that has left me slightly disturbed and weirded out. Kinda like the guy in that video. So I was just scrolling through my Facebook looking at updates, you know what we all do when we are bored silly, when I come along some photos posted by this one girl, not one I know very well, you know one of those people you add cause you have seen them around school or work but have never actually socialized with. So I see these photos that look a little odd, so being both bored and curious I click on them only to find something that is bordering on porn. Basically it was what you would call a “wild” party if you were going to not share any details, but a more fitting description would be a bunch of people in a room smoking, drinking, and doin the nastay. Subsequently I de-friended her. This sort of situation brings up a few things in my mind which I will go through methodically.

First of all, not even calling out the act of you know, 16 year olds smoking, drinking and funkin up that living room, why the hell would you post that to your facebook? Seriously?! Why?! You know I just got these pictures from my friends who was taking pictures of my boyfriend and me doin’ it but I’m not sure what to do with them…I’ll post em to Facebook so that anyone who vaguely knows me can learn far more about me then they ever wanted or needed to know! I’m a genius! Seriously. What. The. Fuck. I mean we already share enough of ourselves throughout the realm of the internet, do we really need to post pictures of ourselves when we are makin’ it? I know, I know, this coming from the guy who is writing in a blog right now, but you get my point.

But now, the other fucked up bits. Drinking. Smoking. And procreating. I know at least one of these people is my age, in other words 16. I don’t know about you guys but does anyone else out there find it a little messed up that someone of that age to be in that sort of lifestyle? I don’t want to sound like some old puritanical guy but that is seriously messed up. Don’t get my wrong if they procreating when they weren’t drunk and weren’t at a party with a bunch of other people, I would have no problem with it. Not that I would want to see pictures, but I’m not an abstinence believing sort of person. Not that I have any experience in that field, but I ain’t no abstinence believer.

On the other hand, smoking and drinking? Screw off. Smoking is horrible as is, everyone knows that, it gives ya cancer and rips up your lungs, no explanation needed. Drinking? Seriously there shouldn’t be an explanation needed but I feel as though I need to defend myself against all the people my age who do drink. Other than being illegal, it messes with your head, makes people do things they will regret. At our age where we literally have our whole lives ahead of us, do you really want to get arrested or be a parent because you drank too much one night? Plus if you drink at that age it’s peer pressure plain and simple, there isn’t another reason. “It helps me relax.” Bullshit. Same thing with pot. There are ways to relax other than drugs, especially at our age. If your doin’ it, it’s cause your friends are doing it, and you want to be accepted and be cool. If that is an acceptable cost to you for being cool, fine, but you really gotta look at yourself if you are willing to sacrifice your health for popularity. I’m not going to get after people of an older age drinking with friends or maybe going to a bar after a bad day, but especially at my age drugs are really damaging. It’s building habits, such as taking a drink or lighting a joint when something goes wrong in your life instead of actually dealing with it.

Personally I wouldn’t do drugs, and I’m even unsure the amount I will even drink when I get older because of some of the principles listed above. I also have rather philosophical reasons. My thoughts are me. That is really all any of us can know. Everything else is variable, always changing, always susceptible to being untrue. But your thoughts are always you. Drugs affect your thoughts, change them, make you feel and think differently. That’s why people do them. But I don’t want that. I don’t want a lose of control of myself. All I know is me, why would I want to mess up the only thing I know? But that’s just personal, I value thought and reason very highly, so just the whole idea of drugs is just off-putting.

*Cough* Sorry about the rant there. Feel pretty strongly about this stuff. I’ve had friends who have gone down that road and aren’t the same. Probably never will be. This stuff always makes me concerned for…

Yep that’s right, that was another tie in. But really it makes me worried for my generation. We aren’t all like this, and there are groups like this in every generation, but when you are standing outside and looking in, it is concerning. When high school kids on the bus openly talk about smuggling pot, is it hard too understand my position?

But the moral of this story is…STOP POSTING EMBARRASSING OR REVEALING STUFF TO FACEBOOK! NO ONE CARES AND NO ONE WANTS TO SEE YOU GETTING SCREWED! And shape up. Seriously. This is Zamic signing out. I apologize if that was too intense or if I offended anyone.
