facebook has a fortune cookie programme.
today, my fortune read,
"it's not what it seems."the previous one read,
"take a trip over water to find what you're looking for."it's uncanny how fortune cookies (and other similar mediums) may be right. but right now, i'm not buying into any of it because i'm feeling indecisive without a solution.
looking back, do you remember reading the post on why are we friends with not-so-good people (
july 22, 2007)? the answer i gave was "not-so-good people need friends too, especially those who don't give up on them."
ask me now as the angel sits on my right shoulder, and the devil sits on my left shoulder.
devil: "just dump their dumbass shits. it doesn't matter how long you've known them or who they grow up to be, you don't need to waste time and breath on them."
angel: "you know that they are good people underneath it all. and you've been together for so long, why stop now?"
devil: "why stop now? because they're not worth the time of day! though i am suppose to promote the unhealthy habits of not-so-good people, personally, dumping has so much more drama than temptation. so so sooo much more fun to watch from your shoulder really."
VAL: "i wish to interject here. angel, let me ask you, are friends suppose to lie for each other? and cover their asses every time they get into trouble? i thought the Lord doesn't condone lying."
angel: "val, that is a very good question. the good Lord doesn't condone lying, and you can't enter the pearly gates just because you're a good friend. you live on the planet with billions of other people, and people do what it takes to make their time on earth pleasant. no promises it'll be peachy, but you try to make it pleasant - for yourself and other people."
devil: "well, that was so very lovely to watch, i want to puke. now i say dump the shit. throw in the towel. don't be there for your friend anymore. put a fullstop here."
angel: "oh devil, how would you know what is it like to be cared for. do you even have friends who care about you?"
devil: "more than you, for sure."
angel: "i can't bet on that, because betting is wrong."
devil: "well then, i know for sure that you've got fewer friends than me,"
VAL: "hold it just a second, aren't you suppose to help me make my decision?!"
devil and angel: "oh yeah, for sure. DUMP THE ASS/DON'T GIVE UP."
VAL: "thanks."
the angel sits on my right shoulder.
the devil sits on my left shoulder.
but i choose my solutions. thankyouverymuch.
i'm about this close to giving up. Lord, give me strength.
