Thursday Rambling of the Week (Obsessiveness)

Obsession...  It means persistence.  It's not always a good thing people.  Far from it actually.

I have discovered something while blogging.  You find people who tend to jump on something and be obsessive about it and just won't let it go.  Like a dog on a bone.  They chew on it and long, LONG after the topic of conversation has passed they are still complaining, nagging, and screaming "It's not fair!"  Is it wrong of me to want to beat these people with a stick?

Alright so here goes.  The people who really irk my nerves the wrong way.  Anyone ever pick up a hatehorses.blog?  Brilliant fellow...  Not really.  If you don't like something why dedicate a website to it other than just trying to piss people off?  Try this one on for size...  Don't like horses?  Don't go near one!  I don't like snakes or spiders.  That doesn't mean I'm going on a political campaign against them.  Some people keep them as pets.  If they touch me you will see a southern girl learn to fly really quick.  Leave it alone!

You also find these people who are obsessive about their hobbies.  Don't get me wrong... I love Knight Rider.  I love photography.  I love the internet and I love RP.  I also love Transformers and I love Stargate.  A lot of things that my attention has been drawn into.  Not a single one of those is my entire life.  (With maybe the exception of photography as that is currently my wanted line of work.  Come on I can make a career out of my hobby!  How awesome is that?)  The most recent thing I can think of is Anime.  It has it's bunch of obsessors.  You know the kind...  They can quote every show.  They know the characters of every show.  That's all they read.  It's all they watch.  It's all they talk about when you try to socialize with them!  I mean come on...  Just because you're interested in something doesn't mean I'm just as interested to hear about it.  Same goes with WOW, Lieniage, and that other game that seems so popular now...  I mean I'll listen to you go on about it for a little while but hours on end is way to out of line.  Give me something here... I don't go on and on and on and on about horses and photography do I?  No!  I discuss work, family, life, hobbies, other stuff that's goin' on.  I mean come on...  You have family and friends...  Discuss something else.

So that's about it...  Stop obsessing!  So I don't have to obsess over obsessing.  :)
