Vibes

Humans have this weird ability to create something out of nothing. It causes problems for us, and is generally a step backwards in what I've dubbed our continuing "quest for clarity." We're always trying to figure things out, allow for things to make sense, and searching for peace, calm, tranquility, and that zen-one-ness stuff that people talk about. It's not necessarily something that me putting to words would do justice, so just bare with me, and take to heart and cherish any peace of mind you get, for its a rare thing in this day and age. John Mayer has a great song about his quest for clarity... properly enough it is indeed entitled Clarity:

I worry, I weigh three times my body,
I worry, I throw my fear around.
But this morning, There's a calm I can't explain.
The rock candy's melted, only diamonds now remain.

Yesterday I had called one of my friends to see whether or not they wanted to watch The Hills at one of my other friend's places. It's become somewhat of a tradition that I go over there on Wednesday nights to see what LC's latest shenanigans entail, and pretty much the best thing to look forward to on a crappy rainy Wednesday when you're stuck at work. They said they didn't particularly want to go, but further pestering and nosey-ness (I got a big nose to be nosey with mind you) procured from them that they were under the impression that friend A, the one who's apartment I was going over, didn't really like them. The ever-so-hard question of "why" that they thought that resulted in an answer of "I dunno, I get a vibe."

Are you serious? That's the best you can come up with? I understand that some people prefer to act on gut instincts and notions without much solid to go off of, but jumping off the jello of conjecture is going to do little more then land you in a puddle of drama. This is what I mean when I say humans have a weird ability to make something out of nothing. I'd like to know what exactly it was that caused my friend to feel that way, knowing both friend A and friend B, and knowing that regularly they're both very down to earth, reasonable, mellow, kind hearted people.

I should be careful about condemning this person though for doing that I realize, for I too am guilty of the crime of "I don't think this person really likes me." The difference though is that I try not to let that affect my ability to function, I'll still go watch The Hills with that person. I mean... it's The Hills after all... IT'S LC! All I'm really getting at though is that this kind of interaction between humans is rather silly, and "totally high school" if I may put it so valley girl-ish-ly. As if.
