It don't mean nothin'
The words that they say
Don’t mean nothin’
These games that people play
No, it don’t mean nothin’
No victim, no crime
It don’t mean nothin’
'Til you sign it on the dotted line
-- Richard Marx
I hate games. Not the Olympic Games, mind you, because I'm loving those. (well, I don't get synchronized diving, but whatever). I'm talking about games people play. You know, boys playing games with girls, girls playing games with boys, friends playing games with friends -- all of it. It's stupid and "childish" and it needs to cease -- immediately.
What the freak ever happened to saying what you mean? Let's get down to it, y'all. Here it is -- this is the deal, no BS. What I'm trying to say is -- leave the 4th grade crap back where it belongs -- in our collective memories of 4th grade. No one that I know of has time for the junk. It must cease -- immediately.
I don't have the energy for the drama any more. I'm with Mary J. Blige -- come on y'all -- let's celebrate no more drama in our lives. Leave it behind, people. Let it go. It's not worth it. All we're doing is giving ourselves an ulcer, or maybe in some cases (mine included) we're giving ourselves fodder for ugly nightmares.
Further "Don't mean nothin'" Lyrics:
And you want to scream, but you gotta keep it all inside
When you’re trying to make a living,
There ain’t no such thing as pride, no
You know what? we shouldn't have to deal with this crap. I'm done. I'm through. I'm rising above it. I can't let it drag me down. "Can't nobody take my pride, can't nobody hold me down, oh no, I got to keep on moving." And here's a quick fact for you -- I will mow you down if you get in the way. Cheers! "Rip away the tears, Drink to hope to happy years."
What Would You Say?
One more thing -- when someone is having a bad day, if you can't (or more likely) don't want to empathize with them, then shut up and get out of the vicinity.
Now, I'll be better tomorrow... No worries...
Don’t mean nothin’

No, it don’t mean nothin’
No victim, no crime
It don’t mean nothin’

"The deception with tact, just what are you trying to say?
You've got a blank face, which irritates
Communicate...
Do what they say, say what you mean
One thing leads to another
You told me something wrong, I know I listen too long
But then one thing leads to another"
Why can't we just say what we mean? Why are we so afraid to just spit it out?? We feel like we have to tiptoe around feelings and make sure we don't offend or overstep our boundaries. Sometimes you just want to hear things straight up...good or bad. Will this ever be possible?
