All Talk No Walk

As my life continues, I've noticed that one thing rings truer and truer.  As time passes by, people become boring, and I can't fathom the cause.  There's only one thing worse than being boring and that is of course not knowing that you're boring.  You know who I'm talking about, those people that hang in the background and simply follow the flow of things, boy do they piss me off.  They're also those people who always complain about how bored they are, but never suggest, nor attempt to start something.  Allow me to present a real life example:

I live on the edge of a wooded area which connects to a park which contains a playground.  Late one night, me and a friend were outside thinking of something to do, when a commotion came from the playground.  Due to the fact that the term playground gains a much more liberal definition with the sunset, this situation shouldn't be described as anything out of the ordinary.  I suggested, out of our doing nothing, that we go give the group a scare and was immediately shot down.  "What a waste of time.  That sounds stupid.  Hey if I was at a park at night, I wouldn't want anyone to show up trying to scare me..."

We weren't doing anything, we didn't have anything better to do.  Honestly, if you're at a playground at two in the morning, everyone in the world has the right to attempt to scare the shit out of you.  Need I clarify anything more?  That just seems fair.


Due to these boring people being real, it can be said that the mindless existence of these individuals refusing to do anything with their lives leads them to the dull and bland lifestyles to which they choose, which inevitably sends them to their suicide, or worse, a lonely existence of being cooped in an old folks home because their children got sick of taking care of Sargent Buzzkill; congratulations you've lived 75 meaningless years of life.  (and that wife to whom you had the children with, she's not dead, no, she left you for a not that much younger man because you were nothing but a twat)  We have to deal with these individuals everyday and its infuriating.  All I simply ask is "why".

Come to think of it, I suppose there might be an even greater entity of evil lying beyond the ignorant dull people, and that would have to be those that are all talk and no walk.  It's bad enough that people feel the need to boast (you never hear that word anymore) let alone about things that people only claim they want to do.  Unfortunately, due to our superficial social constructs, its apparently anti-social to publicly call people out on these aspects. (you still aren't fooling anyone, asshole)  If I say that I'm going to do something, even (especially) if it sounds outrageous, I'm going to at least attempt to accomplish it, and I find if appalling others don't.  Everyone at least knows one of these guys.  "Hey, lets go catch a duck", "we really need to tag that wall", "wouldn't it be hilarious if...".  Hypothetical mischief is not funny; its laziness (its sad), and its what we've become.  Finish your project, finish your idea, finish your fucking sentence, its bad enough that we're forced to suffer through a mainstream media creativity backlash, but how can we expect to accomplish anything when nothing is full-hearted attempt.  Last night we took to the streets and fought with Bokken Swords; none of us knew how to sword fight, or if it'd be any fun because of that (but hell, its sword fighting).  Quit pretending and hiding behind your "comfort zone", go out and actually cause some trouble.


After going over a few personality traits, I realized that where these all fit together might be a tad confusing.  So to help illustrate where all of this fits together (and to make it look fucking legit) I composed this chart.

Now this list/chart is of course not all inclusive and its likely to expand through continual use, but it serves as a good base.
