Vent: I was content with my first post today, but I have this incredible need to vent my frustrations. What better place to tackle such a task then here @ ohcole.com. I fall into rank amongst the average man in his twenties as far as emotional stress and anxiety, the difference between all of us is how we opt to handle our unique predicaments. I hate to admit that I am a fairly irritable person, but it takes a real act of betrayal and almost deliberate loss of care for my feelings to really test the waters and set me into a destructive verbal (sometimes physical charge). I've always been a person that will do everything I say I will, with the absolute best intentions and with at least a degree of punctuality. Now I don't expect anyone to do anything right 100% of the time, but I've come to hope that the closest of friends, at least once in a while do what they said they intend to. Now this is where we all differ as far as damage control; someone might say "*$^# you, *$^# you, *$^# you, you're cool *$^# you, I'M OUT! (thanks Half-Baked)" Me? I give the benefit of the doubt. But when do you draw the line? This has always impeded my reaction process. Now make no mistake, I'm surely mature enough (given the proper circumstances), to "man-up" and say what really needs to be said, but it's much easier said then done, especially in specific situations. No one is so naive to think this vent wasn't properly merited, and believe me it did spawn from a recurring pang of carelessness. With some exceptions to my previous posts, I try to make a point, or at least accurately display my personal opinions. I wonder if anyone else has such abstract thinking, and if any of you do anything with it. I do admit that some of my ideas spawn from too much time on my hands, especially during the evening hours, and during the week, probably because I'm by myself. I used to think it was a curse, and normally I'd talk to someone about it, but it usually goes in one ear or out the other, or I never clearly explain what the hell it is that I'm talking about.

Perfect evening to take a walk before the storm hits. Good*night
