i find it amusing how using descriptive words can supposedly give a statement so much more “meaning”…some of you refer to this as “being deep”. some of you may be wondering “ivan, why isn’t your blog deep like everyone else’s? don’t you want people to read your deep thoughts?” to tell you the truth…sometimes i think it’s just beating around the bush (plus the fact that i don’t have deep thoughts anyway). i guess it’s just the sort of person i am…i value being able to be concise and to the point (to a certain extent) and about the closest i ever get to being “deep” is when i’m being overly sarcastic or serious. think about the difference between these two statements:

my soul is crumbling into a thousand pieces, each of them falling into the deep abyss of my despair. i try to catch them before they vanish into the great chasm, but the more i tighten my grip around them, the more i lose. my world is shattered…where a grim smile once sat, a horrid frown takes over and contorts my visage.

now i’m sure you all have horribly busy lives…we live in a fast-paced world where we can’t even patiently wait two minutes for food to microwave. you just wasted about ten seconds of your life reading all that sad crap as opposed to the 0.74 seconds you’ll use to read this

i’m sad.

save yourself some time.
