Beastie Boys and SorryPosted by eddievegas on 8.15.2007 with 8 comments |
I am pretty excited about going to the Beastie Boys concert out in Red Rocks tomorrow. It'll be my first time out in Red Rocks. Everyone in Denver tells me it will be a great experience.
I didn't end up watching Die Hard yesterday. I got caught up watching WSOP 2007 on ESPN and before I knew it, it was 1AM. I guess time got away from me.
I was talking to a friend yesterday about the use of the word "Sorry". People who use the word sorry are never sorry. I mean, you can be sorry about small stuff.. like bumping into people on a crowded street.. but you can never really be sorry about big things. When someone kills someone else and gets caught by the police, they are not sorry that they killed.. they are sorry that they got caught and have to pay a price.
Don't lie, don't cheat, don't smoke are three things that I expect from a girl I date. When one of those things are violated, I don't want to hear "I'm sorry". I already told you what the requirements were to be with me. I just expect the person I am with not to do those things. Sorry is a word designed to make the person who did the wrong thing feel better.

You sound pretty bitter. What do you find yourself saying when you violate someone's expectations or requirements?
Good question. It has nothing to do with being bitter. When there are requirements that are effectively communicated, especially in a relationship, the partner should know what is unacceptable. If a partner understands what that is, and violates it anyway.. sorry does not cut it.
That being said... You didn't answer the question...What do you find yourself saying when you violate someone's expectations or requirements?
Someone can't be held accountable for violating someone's expectations. Expectations are requirements that are not effectively communicated. The whole "I'm not a mind reader" comment is used frequently when someone's expectations are violated. As for violating someone's requirements.. that should never happen. If there is an inclination that I will violate someone's requirement, all I would say is "I can't do what you are asking of me" and talk about the cirumstance. It is harder to talk to someone after you violate than before you violate.
First of all I have no idea what you are talking about it sounds like you are talking in circles. Second of all I feel bad for you if you honestly think relationships have "requirements." You make it sound like a business proposal which is just sad. I hope you wake up one day.
I don't expect everyone to understand what I mean, and I don't believe my views of a relationship is the only way to be. Feel free to treat your relationships however you want. If my three requirements for a great relationship is too much for you to understand then choose a different path.
out of curiosity...having requirements for your women...how's that been working for you?
Can't complain.
