Random Note #2

But, then again...
What IS life without fighting, anyway?

• Friends fight
• Parents fight
• Married couples fight
• Siblings fight
• Countries fight
• Rivals fight

Fighting is what keeps life...balanced in a way. We can't all go around loving the ground every other person walks on, or so we think. We, the supposedly civilized human race, HAVE to:

• Voice our opinions
• Discriminate like HELL
• Insult, complain, and brag

All of these things get us in deep sh*t one way or another. Sure, my blog can fall into the wrong ands. But where will that get ANYone? Honestly? The satisfaction of having someone's venting place kicked off the web? Hey, be my guest. I"ll just change my domain name and start a new one, and guess who'll be my newest victim? YOU. But after all, where DOES fighting actually land us? There are a few outcomes of fighting.

• It could bring friendships closer
• It could demolish a friendship and create permanent enemies
• It could totally destroy romantic relationships

Sure, obviously fighting is THE worst thing ever discovered. So why do we? Hmm. It does depend on who is fighting. Let's go back to the list of who fights and kind of brainstorm, shall we?

· FRIENDS fight because of/over…
o Toys
§ Mainly for younger friends
§ But if you’re older and still like little trucks and all that hey I’m not stoppin’ ya!
§ Of course there is also playing cards and pool toys and billiards. And yes, I call it billiards and not pool. Pool is a giant bowl with water in it. Haha.
o Common ‘love interests’
§ Mainly for girls, but boys sometimes can…I think? Haha.
§ By the way this is when two friends share the same feelings for the same individual
· PARENTS fight with their KIDS because of/over…
o Grades
§ Ah, probably the most common reason, it doesn’t even matter if it’s an F on a test or a C- on a report card, it’s gotta happen in a lifetime.
o Drugs
§ Obviously not as popular; I’ve never laid a finger on illegal drugs, but God do I know this can happen.
o They’re pissed and wanna take it out on you
§ Trust me. It happens. Take it from someone with background on this subject.
· MARRIED COUPLES fight because of/over…
o Money
§ Obviously. But this is a sticky situation, you never know what happens. Money can kill ANY relationship.
o Pets
§ Yup, this happens too. Trust me. We got a cat and a HUGE dog without my dad’s permission. He got PISSED. We as in my mom and brothers and me.
o The TV
§ Oh dear, I’m sure everyone’s heard of ‘the remote control battle.’ If not, then it’s when the guy wants to watch football, yet the chick wants to watch a romantic chick flick. First one to the remote control with all four limbs wins.
· SIBLINGS fight because of/over…
o Game Controllers
§ I remember the very first Mario brothers game we had, we practically killed each other trying to claim ‘Player One’ as our own. I still don’t know why…but we did and that game was AMAZING.
o Shotgun
§ Ah, the thrill of being able to see the road right before it went under you, and yeah we definitely fight still over this seat in the car. Pathetic I know. Talk to my little brother.
o Because some siblings have it scratched into their minds that fight = love. AKA Ben Johnson, my dear little brother.
· COUNTRIES fight…
NO DUH.
· RIVALS fight because…
o They were already fighting in the first place…

So you see, there are so many REASONS for fighting, just no common purpose. We may think there’s a purpose in the beginning, but it really doesn’t get you anything other than wasted time.
WASTED TIME being someone’s friend just to end up fighting and not being friends with them after
WASTED TIME fighting with someone just to become friends again
WASTED TIME being in a relationship with someone just to end up fighting and breaking up.
Although, some could argue that it’s not wasting time, just learning lessons and learning more about people, but how come we can’t do that without fighting? Hmmm? EXACTLY.
And YOU just got dominated!!
Deep, huh?
