Theives are STUPID!

I don't really understand what you gain from thieving. Sure you get something (technically) for free but the point of the matter is that IT'S NOT YOURS! I understand the reasons why people steal but to me they seem stupid (excluding where people steal food to feed their family if they are poor or something, and not because they just don't want to pay the price amount, and cases where people are too high to notice what they are doing at that time but later charge them with the crime, just at that time of highness it's understandable, they're loopy).
Explain to me thieves, what you get out of taking another's work or something. How can you not feel guilty about it? or like in cases of art theft, what's the point of being praised if it's not something you created? It is so stupid to steal anything really. Especially because on the news, they show people stealing really worthless crap. This one was on the news awhile back, some guy broke into a porn store, stole a blow up doll and instead of taking the first one he had, which was the most expensive one, he let it go and grabbed the cheapest. If you are going to steal something at least do it right.
Momma always said, "If it's going to make you feel guilty, then you shouldn't do it" well that works for someone like me but what about those who don't have a moral or ethic center like most thieves do. Just ranting.

art is life as cheeseburgers is death

Not really sure on the title but tried to bring a bit of humor into things since I have felt so...solemn lately. I think that's the word I am looking for to express how I feel. Been looking through a lot of my school papers and trying to organize them--because I am awesome like that and keep all my school papers (mostly because I doodle on them and I find it hard to throw anything away that I have drawn on)--came across some literature I wrote during a really depressive time period and the works really show it. Though when I have others read it, they say that it's also optimistic and hopeful so that fits my personality. I can be down in the dumps or feel like the walking dead but I will almost always--like 99% of the time--find something good about the situation I am in. Felt like dabbling on about random things.

I am against it, but might have to go through with it

declawing, I find that it is a form of cruelity unless done for the benefit of the animal and on the rare occurrences where humans might be endangered--especially children--it must be done. I have a 3 month old female kitten. She came to me as a foster at 5 weeks, was a runt, and was completely feral. I worked through most of her fears and taught her slowly what is acceptable in the house and what's not (like jumping on counters and on tables is a big no-no, sitting on someone's lap while they are eating and/or begging for food is a big no-no, scratching on the furniture and people a big no-no). most of that she has understood except that she is not loosing some of her feral tendencies, how I know, cat in the wild either bury or hide their 'kill/prey' in a tree or somewhere high away from other predators. She does this not only with her food but with her toys. She either hides all her toys in the highest place she is allowed to go on (which is usually my bed, she hides them in my pillow cases) or she buries them in her litter box (for which they are either tossed in the garbage or washed, depending) or she 'drowns' them in her water bowl. I have successfully gotten her to use the scratching post instead of sharpening her claws on the walls and furniture BUT she will not learn, no matter how hard I try, to stop scratching and biting people. She has successfully sliced my finger so bad that I almost needed stitches and all I went to do was pet her. My contradiction is though, I am against declawing unless beneficial to the animal or in cases where humans might be endangered. In which case I might have to declaw her for two reasons 1)the state I am in has a very strict no bit no claw law where if a cat or dog has so many aggressive occurrences, even to the pet owner, they will be put down, and two) I have two little nephews, there is a possibility that they can contract cat scratch fever, actually from what the doctor is, any one of any age can technically contract it but children are the most likely to contract it. all that jazz. I am in a pickle here. Compromise my morals and views to save a cat although I will technically be mutilating it (because declawing is them surgically cutting off their first digit of the finger, look it up if you don't understand what I mean) or do I stick with it and hope she learns before she does worse than she has done now?
what to do? what to do? what to do?

screaming out.

does anyone else get the urge to just scream out long and loud at nothing and no one in particular? sometimes I am not even angry and I just feel like I should scream to untie the mysterious knot in me that I have no idea why is there. I know I brood sometimes but I never keep anything in me for too long, never bottling up my emotions. I'm straightforward and deal with my emotions and whatever thoughts come with them, sometimes brooding over them or taking a few days to understand them but after I take my time to do that, or just let my emotions go (like taking the time to cry when I need to), then I move on. So why should I have the urge to scream at the top of my lungs when I have nothing bottled up. Maybe it's just me being weird...who knows?

stupidity

I wonder if it's hereditary because I tend to run into a lot of stupid people. Not stupid in school kinds of people but the people who think jumping off roofs of a 3 or 4 story high building, to see if they can land on the ground below and not die, kind of stupid. Or the kind of people who harass you for no good reason kind of stupid. I seem to be running into a lot of these kinds of people. So is stupidity a genetic anomaly or did these people just get dropped on their heads as babies. Either way, I wish they would stay away from me and make believe they are quarantined from the rest of the world so they do not infect others.

sleep

I loathe having my sleeping schedule messed up, even by an hour. Minutes are fine but up to an hour I am overly groggy(if still sleeping for that long) or under an hour I am tired (if I wake up early). My schedule has been so messed up since Christmas Eve. I've been on and off sleeping through the night and some nights I will go to bed on my normal sleep schedule and either stay to that schedule or sleep in way late, and other nights I don't sleep at all during the night and sleep during the day. I think it might have something to due with the recent stress in my life (which is more or less the cause) but maybe also my change in diet. I have reduced my sugar intake (since I stopped eating so much chocolate). No matter how hard I try to get my schedule back to normal it seems to work for a day or two then go way out of whack. It makes me feel off-balance. Then again I never was someone to like change to my routine. I get anxiety attacks.

A realization

I've had an idea today, well not just one but many. And as I go to write or commit to the idea--like if it's one about drawing a design about how to better the world--it flies out of my mind just as fast as it comes. Trying to get the idea back is just as hard as trying to write it down before it leaves the forefront of my mind. So my realization is that any other revelations I have about anything will soon be gone and therefore must not of been good ideas for my mind to quickly to dismiss them...or the other alternative is that my mind thinks too fast...which more often than not is the case.
