Okay, so who else here can’t help but laugh? Apple CEO Steve Jobs called the RIAA greedy ’cause they wanted Apple to raise the 99 cent price tag at iTunes. Jobs’ basically told ‘em no and that they were being greedy bastards. Warner Music head went on about how some songs should cost more because, well just because they were popular songs probably.

Now on to the good parts.

Warner Music head is back at it again, saying they’re (the RIAA) is going to completely pull the plug on iTunes. That’s right, no more 99 cent downloads for j00! Back to having to buy that craptacular Britney Spear’s CD where the only good part about the ONE good song on is the chorus. We’re even going to have to go back to recording our favorite songs off the radio! OMGNOES!

Whatever though, not like it’ll effect me anyways, who pays for crap these days anyways right?

I thought this was worthy of "front page" or as I call it, this blog biotch. I’m too lazy to make a real front page, so sue me. No please don’t I don’t got nuthin’.

This kind of takes a different turn and is actually why I even started thinking about this in the first place.
Should people in general, let the people they care about settle for less then they’re capable of? That just leads to the question of, who are those people to say what’s best for someone else. Sure we can go that route, parents go through that everyday with their teens. Life is filled with all sorts of choices and paths you can take, sometimes you need a bit of guidance and other times you want to learn on your own. I’m not even trying to deal with that.
What I need an answer to and haven’t been able to come up with an answer on my own for the last 7 or more months, is why is it so hard to speak up in a rash manner when you feel someone is making a mistake. It always seems as if what you’re trying to say comes out totally different in someone else’s ear. This is where the trouble starts and disagreements rear their ugly heads. Why is it so unfathomable to express your thoughts to someone without them taking it in a way you never intended?
You can sit down and think out what you’re going to say over and over, but for some reason it tends to end up with a difference of opinion. What the hell for? It’s not like anyone who’s ever been in the situation to try and express a feeling or view to someone, without the other person taking it as a personal attack. Is really necessary to be a damn psycologist to get people to sit and listen to what you have to say, and not already form an opinion before you finish the first sentence? I sure hope not because life is filled with these moments, and it’s already hard enough to pick when and when not to speak up (and sometimes it’s just already too late).
I don’t want to be that guy who sits and watches someone choose a path that is just a lame cop out. Personally I don’t think it would be fair to the other person, and it usually just ends up festering until you just explode and it’s really taken the wrong way.
So the question of the hour is: Can you express a feeling or thought to someone without them getting the totally opposite vibe you tried to put forth?

I’ll start this off by saying, I don’t know why sometimes we choose to settle, or why we end up telling ourselves we’re okay with it. For some odd reason, I’ve always had far too much time to think and mull over things like this. It’s unfortunate because even when I don’t have the time, I still think and mull over things, even when I’m right in the middle of an actual conversation with other people. I guess that’s one of the problems of believing everything has to have a reason behind it. So if you’ll indulge me and read on, and maybe even discuss this with someone else, or just sign up for the forums to throughly discuss it with me, that’d be great.

The question I’m pondering is, why do we have to settle?

It’s only been recently in the last few monthes that I’ve been thinking long and hard about giving up and settling for what’s put in front of you. Not because I got some raw deal and I have no choice in the matter, but because it’s something that’s always irked me. Is it human nature to just accept things when things don’t exactly go as you planned them? I really don’t want to believe that.

I’m not quite sure how to start this off, or if there’s even a way to start it off. For me this is one of those questions that eats away at you and nags you until you finally sit down to think about it. But when you sit down to think about it, you’re faced with even more questions that you can’t answer, and that can’t be answered in short conversations with others.

I’ll jump right into now.

My question to everyone is this, for what reasons do we decide to give up and settle for something? Be it a crappy job that just gets the bills paid, or some knock-off product we had to get because you couldn’t find the real thing. What’s the purpose of settling? If you took the time to think that you really need to go out and get or achieve something, when do you say “I have to give up” because you couldn’t reach it? Personally I’ve always thought that no matter what obstacle is put in front of you, it’s important that you never give up trying to get it. You can say the same applies to relationships, but I’m not saying go out and stalk somebody (squashed that reasoning for you weirdos). It’s probably one of my worst problems though aswell. The fact that I don’t give up until I get to wherever/whatever I was reaching for, I think might be one of my biggest failings. There’s been numerous times I’ve kept working at something ’til it just wasn’t worth it anymore, and I’m positive that happens to a lot of people.

Now admittedly, countless times I’ve done that simply because something I thought was better came along. But maybe it’s just me and the point where I think I am, I just can’t keep going through life settling for second best. I’m not reaching for the stars or anything, just reaching for simple things, things that are attainable. Though I’m just as guilty as anyone else because I’ve given up on things countless times.
