Frankie Goes To Hollywood, and Teaches Us Important Things

It has come to my attention that some people take life too seriously. I mean, they actually get upset when they can't control their job, or their friends, or their spouse had the nerve to do something without first being given approval. I mean, these people will even take their Myspace seriously. Um, it's an internet playground, maybe it should be taken with a grain of salt. I guess what I'm really talking about is the fact that there are people who feel the need (and actually belive it's possible) to control absolutely every aspect of their life and everyone in every situation they encounter. These are the people that could easily make me claw my face off with a spork.

I think we should all just learn to accept that fact that you cannot control all variables of a situation. I'll say it again for the mentally impaired: YOU CANNOT CONTROL ALL VARIABLES OF A SITUATION. Did you get it that time? It's like that old saying, you can pick your nose, you can pick your friends, but you can't pick your friend's nose. You love it and you know it.

Take a wedding for example: You spend months upon months planning for this event, but regardless of how much over-planning you do, you cannot control everything that happens on that day. Trust me when I say this. I spent 7 months watching my mom freak out about my wedding (I was so over it) and when the day arrived, crazy things that none of us would've had the forethought to plan for happened. What did we do? Let it go. Why? Because that's how we roll . Anyone who says their wedding went off without a hitch is probably either lying or totally oblivious to the situations at hand. You can over control the guest list, the photographer, the DJ's choice of song, the type of ceremony, and the food served. But, you cannot control a large group of people in an awkward situation. Someone uninvited might just show up, and you need to just let it go. One of those friends you thought would behave mught just have an incredibly low alcohol tolerance, and they might get really drunk. This might lead them to dance the Macarena all night (even though the song NEVER played), steal someone's coat and wear it around like a cape, and eventually end up passed out in their own vomit in the bed of someone else's pick-up truck. YOU CAN'T STOP THAT! Besides, why would you want to? I mean, the humor value is definately 10 out of 10. P.S. this is on of the 23.5 reasons I didn't have alcohol at my wedding.

I just can't express my total annoyance in words how much control freaks bother me. You cannot plan for everything, nor can you control all situations. Learn to relax, you might find yourself happier and with more friends. Stop worrying, it's not worth it. Learn to laugh at yourself. Honestly, the day I stop laughing at my special ed self is the day I hope to die. There's humor to be found in all situations, even gran theft auto. Take Frankie's advice and relax.
