Forever and Ever and Ever and Ever

What does forever mean? What does Permanent mean?
According to good ole Miriam Webster Forever means:  for an endless time, for all time. For a very long time, at all times.

Permanent means: Lasting or continuing for a very long time or forever, not temporary or changing.


I always understood both of these words to literally mean always, constant, never changing. But nothing is constant, forever and not changing. If things were the same forever, life would suck. Let's discuss permanent hair dye, yeah that shit might stay in your hair forever, but your hair grows out. Permanent ink marker or tattoo ink - really? It fades, we die, again, not forever.


The sentiment "I will love you like this forever..." Key words being "like this" nothing like this will ever be forever. So, basically when someone is saying this to you, it is a lie. Yes, the sentiment is there and very nice, but it's a lie. People should really be more aware of the words that come out of their mouths.

Let's reflect on those definitions again. I swear when I was a kid, the key phrase (in each definition): "for a very long time" were not part of the definitions. Now that they have been added, I feel a lot better about it, thank you Miriam.

Moral of this story is, nothing in life is really forever. I mean even if you have the best intentions and want it to be, nothing will be exactly the same, ever. If everything is exactly the same all the time, I would get bored as shit, not sure about the rest of you. Do you ever get antsy and want to shake things up? I sure as fuck do.

Change can be scary and uncomfortable, but really, change is happening at all times. Look to your right, look to your left, boom, something shifted, your perspective, your hair, your fingers, maybe not the objects, but something has shifted around them. They now look different but the same.

What the fuck is this forever bull shit then? I am so confused. This shit could drive someone crazy.

There Once Was An App Named Tinder

After months and months of being harassed by a couple of my male friends, I finally downloaded the most addictive, stupidest, battery and time killinh app ever, Tinder to my iPhone. 

Isn't this just another version of "hot or not"? (Actually, after not much research, I am now questioning what the difference is between the two apps? Hot or Not you can access from your computer, but is that the only difference? I don't know, I am not in the mood to find out.)

Anyway, after being argued with over and over again, whether or not this Tinder is indeed a dating app or a game or just a time suck, I guess I have to agree to some degree, it is indeed another dating app. Really, it's, let's cut the shit, judge me and let me judge you bases on your pictures.


Riddle me this, is there proper Tinder etiquette? 
I like you -- heart or swipe right.
I don't like you - x or swipe left.





What is the proper etiquette when you run across someone you know?
There is no where to hide, plane as day, there you are. For me, I usually swipe right, why would I not? If you know me and do not swipe right or heart me, you will hear about it.


I am pretty sure most people do not play the game the way I do, but I dunno and I am a self admitted weirdo, so there.

So, like I said, I view the app as a game and I am apparently I am the only person in the world who views this silly little app this way (yes, I have spoken to everyone in the world and have hard data, I am indeed the only one who feels this way). But this comes as no surprise, I pretty much try to play life as a game, it is much more fun that way. I think most things should be turned into some version of a game, just to make it more fun. Who doesn't want to enjoy what they are doing? I sure as shit do.

If you have plenty of time to waste and are easily amused and have a good phone battery, I would suggest checking it out. If you have none of those things, than do not. Tinder on bitches. Tinder on.
