Trust me....if there's anything you cant do, its please your folks... I know this from personal experience and you know me well enough to know that I always aim to please... but the fact of the matter is this- most parents are so obsessed with having a perfect child, a child who is like they were, that they forget we are separate human beings, and not trophies for them to display to their friends. Now what we have to understand, is that no matter what we do, they will never be satisfied and they will always have an excuse to nag at you. If you perfect your life, they will find something else- perhaps to cover up their imperfections, or make up for what they never did. This is stupid and unjust, but its a fact.... not all parents are like this, but for those that are, we have to stop trying to please them and live our lives regardless, becasue one day we will wake up saying "man, ive wasted my youth trying to do everything they told me, and i never allowed mysefl to simply be myself"... and self expression, finding out who you are, are the most important things that define a person. You cant lt that go an account of anyone. Im not saying to defy those that have fed and clothed you, but do not let them take over your emotional life. Take it lightly and know your not the only one in that position. I know it is easier said than done, but it is the only way to deal with it, if you want things to stay relatively calm. Its like talking to someone you dont want to listen to- eventually you learn to drone them out of your hearing, and they just babble and you nod your head- let them keep talking, who cares- they will slowly get board with the same old subject. You must be strong and outlast that or you are doomed to fall into a mental collapse. Its normal and others like you do exist- just think that there are always those who have it worse than you.

wow, did i sound like a mental patient ? i dress up the way i do just to spite (<~becoming my fav word, of all time) my parents. like my "demon music"...which I forgot to write about too...and my "disgusting movies" (I'm guessing the CKY & VLB DVD's). lol. I know my mom lived a boring life...going to church every Sunday...shit like that...and there's no way I'm going to do that as well. Though, as ironic as it sounds...my mom actually said to me this morning..."wow, you did lose weight...i can really notice it". yippee. compliment #1. i do know that people have far bigger problems in life than nagging parents...but it helps me rationalize it when writing it down...otherwise i only let it get to me.
thanks for the comment, friend of mine.
Oh, and CKY rules !!! (???)
