Integrity.
This word has tested my patience for the past three months. It's not that I have a problem with it. Actually, I find myself to be filled with the word. Filled so much, in fact, that when I see people lacking it, I am disgusted.
Dictionary.com defines it as: adherence to moral and ethical principles; soundness of moral character; honesty.
The phrase that sticks out to me here is "moral character." This, to me, is your core. A person's moral character is all they've got. No matter how many things they say or do, in the end all that's left is your character.
Lately I have been faced with several occasions that have tested not only my moral character, but my integrity as well. I can't get into it, especially over the internet, but let's just say that I'm about to use my moral character to kick some integrity into a few certain people.
It's such a shame that at this day and age, no one can do anything for themselves. The people that do things right, with integrity and a respectable character end up sitting in the dust, confused at what just happened. Where do we draw the line? How can we say something's being done wrong without looking like a brown-noser?
Is there no integrity anymore? I'd like to think that answer is no, but with some of the things I see and hear, not only in my own life but on the news, in the papers, even in the tabloids, make me think our society is going down the toilet.
If our prospective Democratic Presidential Candidates can't discuss an issue without airing the others' dirty laundry, how are we expected to follow suit and come to the correct decision? Moral character comes into play here, obviously. If one stops though, would the other follow suit? Would the tortoise beat the hare?
I may ask a lot of questions, but if I could find the answers that pleased me, this world would be in a much better place.

Payment Overdue
Monday, February 18, 2008
It hit me when I was brushing my teeth. I had recently purchased some toothpaste based upon the fact that it was pink. As I ran the toothbrush over my tongue, I realized that the cough syrupy taste was not enough to overcome the fact that what was in my mouth was pink.
My life has become this obsession. Under hobbies I currently list: robots, Pomeranians, cupcakes, and anything pink.
Does this really define me as a person?
When I see someone, do I automatically wonder what their hobbies are? No. In fact, lately all I seem to care about is where they work, who they work for, and I estimate how much I think they make in a year. This corporate world that I have been privy to for a good 3 years has made me numb to the fact that hey, maybe one of my coworkers likes electronics as much as I do or wait, hey maybe they like the same musical artists that I crank up in my new car stereo.
Instead I work 12 hours a day, come home and sleep. The weekends involve drinking and playing board games with friends that I love dearly, but are in the same situation as I am. Do they realize it as much as I do? I hope so. What are we doing about it though?
I've outgrown this city. It's not letting me grow into who I'm becoming. My number one interest right now is applying for jobs. I've applied to everything. Everywhere. I sat there contemplating a trip to Kuwait before my conscience got the best of me. Am I really that desperate to get out of NoVa? I hesitate to write my gut answer.
I'm stuck in a rut. I try to bake. I try to write. I try to do my collages.
Nothing I do feels organic. It's forced, as though I'm being graded on my work. By peers, parents, friends, coworkers. I want to get out of here and re-create myself. Make something of myself besides making a shit-ton of money with nothing to show for it.
I guess this is what I get for being alone all day.
