Speaking of Red Vs. Blue.


From the Public Service Announcement on why not to get a tattoo:

You are a god damned idiot. And I'd like to prove this mathematically, if I may. Take your current age. Now subtract ten years from it. Where you smart back then? Of course you weren't. You were a god damned idiot. Fact of the matter is, you're just as big an idiot today, it's just gonna take you ten more years to realize. ~ Church, Blue Army.

It's interesting to think that I can look back on a few years ago, and think, Holy crap. I was a god damned idiot. And yet, scary to think what I'll be looking back on a few years from now.

Let's face it. When I was young (Did I really just say, "when I was young"? ...Woah.) I thought that I knew everything. And then, hey, guess what. I didn't. But later on I realized that back then I didn't, but I was POSITIVE that NOW I knew what I needed to know. Also, dumb.
Today (Well, not today today. It's not something I've just realized or something. But you know what I mean. Shut up and let me finish.) Today I've more than accepted the fact that there is plenty that I don't know, and even more that I will never know. Nothing really new. But I've been looking back over some of my first Trillian logs, when I was fourteen. (I've been using Trillian two years now. o.o) I used things like "u" and "y" and "omg." And not in a satirical manner. This saddens me greatly, as I'd always thought that I had given those up long before that. And many of the things that were said in those conversations struck me as funny then, but now, I think I was just a god damned idiot. (Phrase of the day.)

So, three years from now, when I'm thinking back, I'll probably be thinking, "Man, I was a god damned idiot. But hey, at least I figured it out ahead of time."
