Man, I suck

I really, really suck.

Seriously, it's been, like, 3 months. I got two posts in and I quit.
I suck so bad.

But back into the swing of things.
I've been debating truth with myself, trying to figure out what it is, how to find it, et cetera.
Yeah, I'm pretty pretentious.

Anyways, today at school we had a guest speaker. A journalist, I should know his name, but I don't, because I'm a terrible person. So, he was talking about how he's always censored for sources and such who don't want their names to be in the news, and that really got me thinking.
These newspapers claim to say the irrevocable truth, the pure stories, just the facts, ma'am. They claim to have no outside influence, to say what is happening and nothing more.
But that is never the whole story, because how people react to it is a huge part of it. And journalists are our ties to the story. Sure, they have interviews and everything, but most people aren't willing to say how they really feel to a complete stranger. The journalist should have the balls to say how they feel about a story.

Which is why I really respect the real bloggers. The dudes and ladies on the internet who say real stuff and tell real stories with their names and opinions hanging out for all to see. I'm starting to think that these bloggers are the closest incarnate to truth that we have. Because they tell the stories, the good ones tell the whole story, with just the facts, and then say how they feel. Human emotion will always be part of the truth, no matter what.

Someone in my class asked if truth is a human construct, and I'm not entirely sure how to respond to that. Mostly because I'm not entirely sure what truth is. Like all ideals, we can't really understand it. To me, truth is a matter of perception. If you're completely honest about what you perceive, and how you feel about that, then you're being truthful. The problem there is that perception is a matter of bias. The act of looking at something is also the act of not looking at everything else. This makes the truth kind of a problem to figure out.
So what is truth, dog?
I don't know, I just know that if we have it, completely, then the earth would be a chiller place to live. Not that it isn't now, but y'know, parts of it suck.

Like Larry O'Brien, who I will rant about tomorrow.

On a lighter note, thisiswhyyourefat.com is a hilarious website.
