If you are like me--you tend to spend your days living by the many creeds of the universe. "Don't do this, don't say that, thou shall not, you'll go to jail if you".......
Who in the hell made up all of these rules and why do I have to follow them? This is what I want to know. And what about those of you who say, "Screw the rules, I am going to live my life for me?" I say--Amen to you rebels because it really does not pay to be good.
Last night Numnuts (who for the record has been fantastic while my girl was in town) said to her..."Stick around, Citizen Sun will make sure you stay on the straight and narrow." It actually made my stomach turn. Since when am I so good that I could guide another on a better path?
I never wanted to be that person. I want to be a hellion. Why? Because if people become accustomed to you ALWAYS doing the right thing then look out when they think you have done something wrong. You might as well paint a Scarlett letter on your chest and parade around town because all of a sudden you are devil girl.
I know a few people who I used to shake my head at and think---How do they live with them self? Now, I have a new attitude. I say, forget that straight and narrow line that is supposed to lead you through the pearly gates. Hey according to my religion big man upstairs ALWAYS forgives so why should I care what the commoners think?
Finally, I am starting to believe that if you are generally bad...think of how much praise you will get if you do something good! Might be worth a try.
So are you tired of being good?

I'm tired of being treating like I am bad when I'm not. Being good does get boring, but I don't intentionally try to do wrong.
Yes, I agree there are way to many rules but the rules only apply to some of us. Our extremely pathetic society has made excuses for those that have no motivation or ambition in life. Whereas, if you work and try to be productive, the yellow line has been painted and you had better stay on it. Man, does that piss me off.
I've had a lot of wild offers lately, but I had better not take anyone up on them or I'll pay for it later (you know what I mean). That is so old and such bullshit. Meanwhile, some illegal immigrant can do what ever they want and my taxes will support them. What happened to this country?
I do have to disagree with one thing, I don't think people always judge harshly when someone who is normally good goes astray. Sometimes, a good person will catch a break, but it isn't too often.
I try to be someone/something that I'm not ashamed of, and if I can do that then I know God will accept me. Of course, that doesn't mean I accept myself. Sad but true for many.
Damn it got so complicated!!!!
It is very complicated my dear friend. I think I am going to try and find some new people who generally let others down..this way I won't feel bad when I am accused of doing such things. I hope you are having a good day today.
Oh my darling Citizen Sun, I thought you knew the rules to the game of life. Yes there are those that have that high moral background and stand behind every word, promise,proper action they take. Then there are the losers who continually let people down, stab their friends and/or lovers in the back, and can't be trusted to save their live. You and I are neither of this types.
The game has taught me not to make promises, but rather to say I will see what I can do. That doesn't mean I will, it just means I will see and depending on my mood, my underlying motive(s), or my wanting to help at the time will determine if I will or won't take action.
I do not lecture others on their good or bad conduct I merely accept their actions as a form of who and/or what they are. You have to remember that perception is reality, so it is always in your best interest to present that good girl image, but that doesn't mean you have to live that lifestyle to the fullest. It's kind of like your article on threesomes where you state in your comments that you really never know what goes on behind closed doors. In this case the closed door is the person you present given the time, place, people you are with and/or the situation.
People who are generally bad do not get praise for doing something good. Instead people look at them as having an alternative motive for the actions they took that people PERCEIVE as good and or wonder what they are up to.
Giving forth the preception that you are good and living the straight and narrow lifestyle is the best foot to always put forward, just remember it's is only what you want people to perceive.
One last thought, if you ever want someone to paint that Scarlett Letter on you chest for you please let me know as I would be more than happy to lend you a hand or two I know their has to be a little devil girl hidden in there somewhere...
Your perception is very good. That was genuinely put and I would say right on the money! You should come back here often. For the record...as soon as I am ready to sew on that Scarlett letter I will ask you who you are and invite you to help. My devil girl persona has been put away for safe keeping, but you never know when she may pull herself out of the closet. I try my best...thanks for stopping by and please come back.
I generally put people into two groups, those for the good of the many and those for the good of the few. Unfortunately, the "good of the many" are definitely the exception (Ro definitely falls into this group) and the "good of the few" (those who only take care of me, myself and I) are the misguided norm. Wouldn't this world be a better place if that sad fact was flipped?
I also believe what goes around comes around, so I suggest you definitely stay on the high road. Nothing but good will come your way and at least you'll be proud of the person looking back at you in a mirror.
Agreed Don, but isn't it fun to let loose once in awhile? I almost forget what that is like. I think there may just be a happy medium somehwere.....I will let you know if I find it. Yes, Ro is a good little girl! She is DAMN GOOD! Or so I have been told...
Of course it is good to let loose regularly, but as long as it's not at the expense of another person. I do my best to treat others as I'd like to be treated. There are many ways to get a rush legally like hanggliding, sky diving, etc. I like driving 150mph here in Germany, but won't think of it in the US unless I was at a racetrack.
DAMN GOOD...huh...I can only imagine what that means!
Not big on heights, but the driving sounds exciting. As for my Ro-Ro comment...well no comment.
