OK pictures from dinner before anything else.

There was something else but I forgot to take a picture so...

Anyways... I said last time I would define two words so... here goes nothing. First off, the good news (so to speak). Dictionary.com defines optimism as a disposition or tendency to look on the more favorable side of events or conditions and to expect the most favorable outcome. Pessimism is the antonym of that, and it is defined as the tendency to see, anticipate, or emphasize only bad or undesirable outcomes, results, conditions, problems, etc. Of course, in the middle of all of that is realism, which is the tendency to view or represent things as they really are. Generally people tend to fall under one of those three categories. For me, it would have to be pessimism (I would like to think of myself as nothing more than a realist, but the truth of the matter is I'm too pessimistic to represent that lol). Of course, pessimism isn't really a good way to view things. You tend to believe everything will end in failure (yeah... this happens to me a lot), and in the end you attempt nothing fearing failure (me to some extent... there are random times where I fear failure, and others where I just don't care enough to bother with the outcomes). Obviously, I would like to stay away from being a pessimist. Being a realist would really suit me well (as you people know, or should know, I tend to be on the blunter side of the world when describing everything. The ability to sugarcoat is foreign to me. I like saying it as it is, just so no misunderstandings appear. But... thanks to various factors, misunderstandings do indeed happen quite often). Truth be told, I don't really want to be an optimist either. It just seems like they turn a blind eye on what's really going on. You can't really think that everything is going to turn out OK right? That isn't really what daily life is like... I feel like only the truly lucky ones can be optimistic. To be honest I find too much optimism stupid. Then again... I am a pessimist, so... I'm sort of the antithesis of everything an optimist stands for. Well, I've had my say on this topic (I know it seems like I didn't say too much, but I feel like I covered the bases I wanted to cover so). A little recap. I'm a pessimist who wants to be a realist, while not believing in the overly optimistic people. Can people change which one they are? I don't really know. I know I haven't changed all this time. I'm still quite the pessimistic person (for just about everything). It's probably why I don't like change that much. In my mind, change only brings about the worst possibilities (another reason why I want to have the mindset of a realist). But... That's a topic for another (far off) time.

Light talk now. I'm currently just going through life with a smile on my face (whether or not it's a real smile depends too much on the situation so... I'm just accepting the fact that a smile can come out). I guess that last statement means I'm just floating through my daily life. Which means... nothing other than the fact that absolutely nothing is really changing my life right now. Sigh. Good thing I'm not the type that needs excitement to live life. Well... See you guys whenever my next post is. It should be soon... but who knows. My ideas are always running thin, and the well could just dry up any day now.
