JUDGE JUDY

I really dislike Judge Judy. I dislike the way she points fingers at the plaintiff and defendant and how she thinks she can tell people who they are based on certain actions.

But Judge Judy is not the topic of discussion tonight.

I was reading through an old blog entry from 2005 when I was going through a very painful break-up. It was a really difficult time for me and my only way of purging all the bad vibes inside of me was to write furiously in my blog. I wrote ALL my feelings on a daily basis and at that time in my life, I allowed myself to go through the pain of it all=no holds barred! I wanted it completely annihilated and for me the only way to do so is to let it completely go through you, no matter how gargantuan the task might seem.

So I did, and it was a daily dose of verbal diarrhea, if not more, for readers of my blog. I don't blog for your reading pleasure-although it is comforting to know that I am interesting or entertaining enough for people to want to read about on a daily basis. There was this one reader though who couldn't say anything remotely nice about me and my siblings.

After a particularly emo post, he left this comment:

"Things will not change for you until you change your attitude about life. Change in environment cannot and will not change your unhappiness until you summon happiness yourself.

Why do men leave? Because men are attracted to women who are naturally fun and happy, confident, lovable and smart. They do not like women who are
whinners, insecure, demanding and nags. They are like thorns on their sides.

Happiness is a state of mind! So, live in the here and now. To be loved is to love and to be happy is to give joy.

Do something more useful with your time like preparing for a real career. Make-up artists here in Australia don't earn much money working in beauty salons. How will you raise your child without nanny while working full-time?

These are real and practical issues you may want to really think about.

Good luck."

I was so upset with this stupid, judgemental idiot who thought he knew everything about my life and who I was. After a comment back from me, my sister and a few other people, he continued saying other things like we basically lived off our parents and we were so useless and all that.

First of all, I was so upset that someone whould be STUPID enough to think that being a make-up artist is NOT a REAL, credible, valid career path. Second, i was fuming at the fact that my family was being judged through BLOG ENTRIES and lastly, I was depressed at the thought that there are people this world who are moronic enough to treat other people like shit by verbally attacking them (or in this case-in writing) on their blog, telling them how to run their lives and what is wrong with them.

He also is from Australia. I actually don't know if it's a he or a she but it sounded like a guy speaking. After reading it, it made me wonder if he still reads my blog. I hope he's accidentally fallen over a cliff, drowned in the great barrier reef or mauled by a dingo in the bush.

I just got upset because I was reading thorugh my old entries in my old blog and I came across it. Ugh. Why are there so many stupid people in this universe? It is one thing to give pure hearted advice and constructive criticism and quite another to judge and put down another person-specially if you don't know the person.

In reality, I am in a semi-foul mood because of something else. Disappointed in this person who was almost like another brother to me. But oh well, shit happens.

Well, off to Bronte tomorrow. I think the two people I'm going with (Ala and Chini) really need a day at the beach.

Lisette, I know you will read this eventually, Sorry I didn't get back at you! Let's talk when I get back tomorrow!
