Title Here
It's been a while, everyone. I haven't an honest explanation as to why I've avoided this place, and I'm not even sure if the faithful readers have kept up on my absence. Either way, I thought I'd jot another mindless post just for the hell of it. In the time I've been away I've had the chance to go back and read some of the things I've written, and those that other people have written. Naturally I'm a person that hates everything I do not ten minutes after I do it - in terms of writing, anyway. I don't know if it's just an overly critical mind or a writer's sense, whatever it is, I'm not going to take credit for something that isn't there. Upon reviewing the things I've written - all the tongue in cheek criticisms of everything and everyone, I'm surprised I didn't stop sooner. Maybe it took more reading of things similar to my writing to show me that I'm incredibly full of - that's right - shit. Here I am, at age 17, pretending to be Aristotle reincarnate, bestowing my infinite wisdom on the masses. Give me a break. I don't have a clue how life works, let alone an understanding relatable to others. I've realized that I overcompensate any self-confidence problems by pretending to understand, rationalize, and generalize everyone else's problem. You know what's taught me? That no one can help someone but themselves. Even now, I'm sitting here spewing things that I assume to be correct, when in all actuality I can barely identify the problem. Now, for all you liberal wackos out there, don't assume I'm talking about politics, because the last thing I'm intending to do is apologize for generalizing liberals. I generalize liberals because they have a pleasant little habit of placing themselves into perfectly stereotyped little groupings. So go ahead, criticize my grammer, flaws, and my ideology, but remember that I've taken the time to study and weigh your positions - and I still think you're the worst things that could ever happen to America.
With all that aside, and getting back to my more philosophical habits, I have a major inclination to exhume every thought on any such topic from the annals of my online library. I can understand myself and pretend to understand others when the truth is that I can understand neither. I can't tell you why you hate your parents, and I can't tell myself practically anything. I've just realized that I can't respect people who do. I'm tired of people looking to me for answers (not that I'm flattering myself and assuming they do - they don't) when I can't figure out my own problems.
I'll tell you what. I need a vacation.
p.s. If I happen to have spelling mistakes, or missing words, or any grammatical errors, I'm telling you now that I did it on purpose.

I'm going to look like a fool, but so be it. First off let me say that I apologize for not reading everything you have wrote, second I realize I can not write for shit. Then again I always knew that. Words are beyond me. Anyway to the topic at hand. I will say that you are directly on the mark when only you can solve your own problems. It's something I have been trying to tell people for some time now, yet no one understand. They say it's better to talk about it, this that the next thing, get advice, and so forth. Honestly though, how many times has that advice got you into more trouble than it's worth? Since most of the time people are only hearing one side of the story so then in return you get a biased opinion which is needless to say, not good at all. As you may tell this recently happened to me and I wish I would have never said a damn word to certain people because now they are pissed/annoyed at me because I didn't take their advice. I think it's funny and selfish advice is not ment to be taken literally, it is nothing mor ethan a suggestion to me. Holy damn I got off topic and started in on a rant. Sorry man. You're a good kid and you got a lot of good ideas in your mind, but that whole only you can solve you own problems really hit hard since it shows there is someone else out there that understands where I come from when I say that.
Finally, grammer, who the hell needs it? I might get made fun of for that, some people need to lighten up.
dude, its been awhile since ive taken a look at ure writing. i must say, u still got it. and dont listen to ureself (or something like that), u do give good advice most of the time. dont stop, while many people will not have the privelege of reading what u have to say, u can at least say u tried. we need more people like u that go out of their way to try and help. ure one of those quality people u dont come across too often in life. and that thing about grammer, punctuation, etc., just take a look at what i just wrote... disgusting huh??
Hey Sean!...its funny because i just finished an entry in my livejournal. Then I came to read your blog. In my enrty I talked about being able to help myself but never doing it. I think the reason I would never just help myself with any of my problems is because I dont want to deal with it..I dont want to deal with the responsibility. That could be what others are doing avoiding the responsibility just like me
ooo and u know i dont know about others but i really dont pay attention to gramatical errors because i dont read for the punctuation or the spelling i read for the meaning
i know what i said probably sounds stupid because all that comes out of my mind just gets all messed up when i try to put it all into words..so i hope it makes a little bit of sense to you
sean i really think that you have a great gift where u try to look at things from other people's point of views...i hope u never loose that
whether you continue writing or not, whether what you've written is crap or not or has helped anyone or solved anything or not, and whether you feel what you've written is worthwhile or not, i still think you're the best thing in the world, and if you like writing, then keep doing it, at least for yourself. writing doesnt define you - youre still sean, with or without the words, and while i love reading what you write, no matter what you say or what its about (although i admit i get a little bored in the poltics-themed entries), i still know who you are from you, not from your writing. so do whatever you want, and if you decide to keep writing.... :)
you are by far the wisest 17 year old i know, you would make a wise 40 year old.
