Type A vs Type Me

I need to shower. I'm all dirty and sweaty.

I realized something today.. There are lots of different kinds of people in this world. (no, that wasn't what i realized.) There are the kinds of people who when they leave a room, people follow them, simply because to not be in the same room is torture. That's the kind of person that can walk away without fear of never being able to walk back again. They know they can do better than heartbreak, because they've already done better. They don't give up on themselves. That kind of person isn't lightly given up. They are the kind of people that songs are written about. They're confident because of the place they have in the world, and happy because they can run and someone will come after them to bring them back to where they're wanted. They always know what to say, and inspire others to be better. They are respected, followed, loved, and admired, and never have to feel this way. There is always someone out there waiting for them.
I've never been that kind of person. I'm the person who's left behind, in order to chase that other kind of person. I'm the one waiting to make someone smile. I won't be the one to run after you, with my face to your back, but if you turned around, I'd meet you in the middle. People feed the line that you can make a difference by just being "who you are". Yes, if you're type A person. If you're type Me, then being who you are gets nothing but once every other weekend and an empty message machine. You can't make a difference if you're not different. You can't change lives if your life is unremarkable.





The time has come
To move ahead
And find what waits for me


There's gotta be something more
Gotta be more than this
I need a little less hard time
I need a little more bliss
I'm gonna take my chances
Taking a chance I might
Find what I'm looking for
There's gotta be something more

I've spoken with Microsoft and they have stated that if you allow them full administrative rights for the next 20 years, and full marketing and royalties, they are willing to give a good half effort to program the sort of firewall you are requesting. They aso stated that they would be willing to even finish it to a full 80% before releasing it, and promise to give the most mediochre tech support money can buy. Congratulations, you're part of a monopoly!
