Grr. It’s kinda tough being me sometimes. Ever since I was roughly starting out high school or so, people/friends have often turned to me for advice, or when they need to talk about things. I’ve never figured out the rhyme or reason behind it. Maybe I’m a good listener, good to bounce things off of, I dont know. It’s flattering though, and im not one to ever not lend a hand to someone in need, so I always be that ‘go-to’ guy. I dont mind it. I like helping anyone, especially my friends, out in anyway I can. It just has some tough responsibilities that go with it. I’m always pretty honest about my thoughts when people come to me with something. and there’s where it starts to get messy. I sometimes have to tell people things they dont want to hear, and things that some might even take the wrong way or hate me for. It sucks. but I do it. I know im not helping at all by trying to be nice and lying or anything, so I dont. But sticking to what I believe about something someone asks me just kinda sucks. They might come to me for advice, hoping I’ll say one thing, and I have to say the other because I believe it to be the truth. But I say it because I know it’s for the best, and so far, 99% of the time, it always has been. which brings me to the next part of it:

The “I told you so.” I hate those. they happen constantly. Someone asks me about a problem, I tell them something they dont want to hear, but they wait, and the thing I say usually happens, and they come back and say ‘oh you were totally right’ , etc. I always want to jump in their face and exclaim “ha! TOLD YOU SO!” but I cant. I know it’ll hurt them if I ever did, and whatever problem they come to me with is usually bad enough for them to deal with in the first place. So why have I continued to do this for so many years if it’s such a lose-lose situation? I just like to help people, especially my friends.Helping someone in their time of need just means a lot to me. meh, I dont know. I just wanted to vent today, about how frustrating it is having to tell your friends the way things are or the truth, even when they dont want to hear it or might hate ya for it, even though you know it’s right. Im sure many of us have been in the same situations from time to time. meh. just wanted to vent to myself a little. hehe.

Anyway, nothing else too exciting going on. I did go to the rocky point haunted house last night with a friend, it was a blast. haunted houses are always good times, especially if you’re with a girl that scares easily. haha. alright, im out.
