Flattery. F-L-A-T-T-E-R-Y. Flat-uh-ree.
In my opinion, definitely one of the evils that came out of Pandora's box. There is no substance behind the word. Flattery: the act of flattering, excessive, insincere praise. Does that sound appealing? Maybe it bothers me more than most people because I am brutally honest but, it makes no sense to me. Flattery is just words, words without meaning, words without truth, just words. Words dont cut it. Actions do. My mom always used to say "Do as I say, not as I do." Words, words, words. There comes a point when words become rather meaningless and you have to put your money where your mouth is. (Ironic that I am BLOGGING about words being lame, good grief.)
Sometimes I dont want to listen to my alarm going off in the morning.
Sometimes I dont want to leave the warm cocoon of tangled sheets and covers and pillows.
Sometimes I dont want to open my eyes.
Sometimes I dont want to feel the floor meet my feet.
Sometimes I dont want to leave my dreams knowing that they are going to be forgotten within a few hours.
Sometimes I dont want to shed my pajamas.
Sometimes I dont want to feel the cool fabric of my clothes shock my bare skin.
Sometimes I dont want to brush my hair.
Sometimes I dont want to venture into the wide awake world.
And everytime I do, I smile thinking of everyone else who feels the same.
Im confused. Dazed and confused. About everything. Nothing is clear. I hate using words like forever and never and guaranteed. How can you know that you are going to love someone forever? You dont know what could happen. How can you say that you are never going to part ways with your current friends? You dont know what could happen. How can you say that you are never going to be like your parents, guaranteed? You dont know what could happen. You dont know, they dont know and I definitely dont know.
What I hear:
Come out of the shade--> The Perishers

hi smile...
omg, this is just sooo fantastic!! i think you are the best in the whole world!! ;o) jk
i guess the weight of the words depends on your own sincerity behind them. you can never know of someone else's sincerity but you certainly have control over your own.
not sure if that is a propos or not...
cheers!!
:o)

but for me the not knowing is part of the appeal. it is forever, if you always carry them in your heart.

Maybe it is the 'idea' of never's, forever's and guarantee's that is so appealing. I try not to make many comitements like these, only because I know Murphy hides in my shadow with his wrench at the ready. :)

Stickman: Thanks hun! Youre right, it does depend on the sincerity of your words. I try to keep mine as sincere as possible yet I find that the majority of the population just tells you what you want to hear.
Nature: The future will remain a mytery. Thanks for reading bud.
Tony: I guess in a romantic sense, not knowing is part of the appeal, but it can also be part of the downfall.
Coma: Youve got the same kinda thinking as me babe :]

Gotta love the Led Zep refference :)
LOL
I'm with you on most of your blog. You seem to know exactly how I feel sometimes :)
What I will say is that not all flattery is insincere or without meaning. I wouldn't tell someone they are beautiful if I didnt think they were. I wouldn't tell you this was a great post if it wasn't.
Great post Smile :D

Haha I thought you would pick up on the zeppelin reference. And I feel like I need to clear some things up. I have made an assumption that is not exactly accurate in my blog. I was a tad angry while writing this and i categorized the whole world to be insincere. So try to ignore my slip up please :] And thank you eeerm, its good to hear from you darling.

I know exactly what you mean, I hate mindless priase and the splurging of words without any substance behind them. As for that feeling when I wake, it's the worst ever. It hits with more shock than physical pain. The impact of the day is what I dread when I wake, knowing full well that it has already overrun me and there is no stopping it.
PS: Nothing is forever, not even the redering Earth was always green.
