[LJ IDOL] I DON'T CARE ABOUT APATHY- WHAT I "SHOULD" CARE ABOUT, BUT DON'T 003

[mammaria]

Oh, booooy.

Here we go.

This is the perfect topic for people to go after each other and call each other "ignorant" or "jerk offs" or "insensitive bastards" for not caring about things that they SHOULD care about, but--

I guess that's the whole point of the topic, so we're all being apathetic about each other's entries in honor of that, right?

So, I shouldn't have fear of saying what I truly think and being judged for it, right?

Not that I care, either way;; I MUST CONFESS THIS-- oh, the beauty of apathy~

IT CAN BE A WONDERFUL THING (when used correctly).

Okay, okaaaay, so what DO I do not care for? Hmmm...

Well, shit, this is actually a hard question, but I shall try! Let's see, I don't care for STRESS-- I know I should be more worried about things, but honestly that doesn't get me anywhere, it doesn't solve ANYTHING and quite frankly I just DON'T care for it. I don't care for POLITICS because experiences in my life have taught me that everything is fixed anyway, that campaigns consist of candidates called each other names, and trying to make the other person look incredibly stupid so they can come out looking like the best choice. (of course, I WILL vote, but i could give any less of a damn about politics as a whole. I'm sorry, but it's true.)

On THAT note, I could care less about Obama.

Oh yeah, I said it.

Not only that, I could care less about McCain, either.

Honestly, it's probably rather petty of me, but my vote will go to the candidate who I can tolerate the most. (my friends list knows who it is-- no matter how dumb they say he is, oops lol;;)

I could care less about Palin, AND what they say about her.

The economy's status? It... concerns me, I'll grant you that, but seriously? I'm more worried about getting to school each and every day, not loosing sight of my goals, achieving my dreams and supporting my family any way I can, which means not letting them down.

It's not like I can go to freaking Wall Street, wave a FABULOUS~*~*~ fairy wand around and say "ALL PROBLEMS SOLVE", in any case, so what good would it do me to kill myself or lose sleep over it?

It's not like I have stocks or anything. (wow, this sure will suck if it turns out to be another one of those depressions. You know, the ones that leave as all poorer than we already are? Damn, I hate those.)

I could give a rat's ass about death, the end of the world, or life in outer space. I'll die when I die, the world will end when it ends, and life in outer space? As intriguing as it is, as long as they don't INVADE US ALL and ENSLAVE HUMANITY for all of eternity, let the flipping aliens wander around their space, alright?! (heheh, see what I did there?)

Atheists who insist on undermining others' beliefs? Bah. Religious fanatics who do the same? Bah. Let us all believe what we want to believe, geez. We'll know the truth for sure when we either turn into dust, go to hell or end up in eternal paradise! Seriously, beliefs are something for EACH OF US to decide. Not that I don't give a hoot about my religion, but fanatics sometimes undermine it. It's not the people I follow, it's the teachings; I wish this would be more clear.

I don't get what the flipping point of war is. I can't stomache game shows (good for the people that are trying to achieve their dreams! But I can't watch those things, I'm sorry, I cannot-- more often than not the judges do something to annoy me). To feminists: HEY, I LIKE being considered the weaker sex-- we get lots of benefits men don't! C'mooon! Plus, we can PUNCH A GUY OUT and they can't fight back! How cool is that?! Other than the difference in salaries (that really is sort of annoying), I'm fine with how things are. Unless a woman tries to go get a position and doesn't get it for invalid (STUPID) reasons, AND she happens to be qualified, I'm not about to get upset any time soon.

And as bad as I feel for the people who's stories she tells the masses, Nancy Grace's show just serves to depress me for no good reason.

For some reason, I cannot tolerate Schywayze (and I like ALL genres of music-- and I mean ALL).

--wow, that was easier than I expected! ...why does that fill me with dread--

Oh! I know why! Because the thing I am the MOST apathetic to is apathy itself.

You know that saying? The opposite of love is apathy? This is so true. Forget hate, at least you FEEL something then;; (though hate is a horrible, horrible feeling I would not wish upon anyone)

It's better to have negative opinions about something than to not care about it at all. What are you then, an unfeeling, unmoving waste of space? Have an opinion about SOMETHING, pleaaase.

(only robots can be completely apathetic. >:| no, i am not kidding-- WELL, EXCEPT IF YOU'RE WALL-E, but then you'd be an adorable little robot who has feelings somehow and is made of cuteness and sensitivity~)

And there we have it. My long, rambling entry on things I could care less about! Wait, who cares about what I care less about? W-what was the point in writing this--

SEE WHAT APATHY DOES; okay, I'm out of here;;;

Back to caring again! 8) (except for when I don't)

...whatever.

I agree with you. Fanaticism in any form is a bit dangerous! And yes, let the aliens have their own planets!

[mammaria.livejournal.com]

Not to mention scary, & it just gives people a bad opinion on whatever you are being fanatic over;; how does that achieve anything-- RIGHT?! The aliens have their own stinking planets, what do they need ours for!? )8< shfbh gtfo of my eeeearth AAAAAA

Thanks for reading/commenting! ♥

I like how this came across as stream of consciousness ... it makes me feel like it's more you. :)

Enjoyed this post even if some of the cultural references past me by. Maybe I am better not knowing who Nancy Grace is.

and you are quite right about the robot thing. No one can be 100% apathetic though people seriously depressed might come close.

[mammaria.livejournal.com]

Thank you~ that's great to hear! 8D and you know, you just might be;; (she doesn't seem to have a sense of humor, either;;; angry all the time + no funny = D8)

Some people like to pretend they are, though! It's just terrible-- yeah, depression's pretty close to it, but at least it's a psychological disorder that can be treated. :') hopefully without meds;;

[agirlnamedluna.livejournal.com]

I too didn't get all the cultural references either but still, I agree with you on fanatisms of all sorts.

I think the right expression is "I couldn't care less" though, unless I'm not seizing something :)
