Buddy X

I’ve never had a buddy and still don’t. My real buddies have been stuffed animals. They’re a substitute for a real pet. My sister was allergic so we couldn’t have any so we didn’t get one later either. Besides having a pet takes a lot of time and money. I always wanted a bunny but they need attention and I’m never at home. Maybe one day when I’m old and retired I’ll get one. I don’t think I’m missed anything for not having a pet. It just hasn’t been an issue. I’ve also been a bit afraid of animals so that’s another reason.

I’ve never had a human buddy. Those kids I grew up with have their own lives. I’ve never been in touch with them either. I don’t need to have a buddy. I’ve managed without one. I don’t really like get to know people in real life. I never talk to strangers. I’m an introvert after all. I never know what to say to people. I hate small talk and I become reserved even in small crowds. That’s why I love the internet. It’s easier to find people with the same interests as me and also from other countries. In a way blogging and social media are my buddies. It’s the safest way. I’m a loner and it would just be too stressful if I had buddies outside the internet. They would probably call all the time and disturb my concentration. It might sound harsh but if you’ve been alone as long as I have, you’ll get used to it. Sometimes I do wish I had a buddy but that feeling doesn’t take long. There are more advantages than disadvantages for not having a buddy. For someone who is used to having people around, this kind of thinking might sound depressing but for me it’s not. It’s liberating and stress free. Other people are just a burden.

I like being around people but only if there are people I know. Other times I feel uncomfortable. I have difficulties to go up to a person and talk to them. So how could I even find a buddy when I terrible at it. Some have no problems at all. I envy those people. If I do talk to a stranger, it always feel embarrassing afterwards. It just doesn’t come naturally to me. Finding a buddy and then keep one is another matter. Maybe I’m just bad at keeping in touch with people. Even if I did follow them on social media, I don’t really write to them. It just feels weird to do so. But what can you do.

 

You have no vision

visionThat’s what I think when I see what kind of TV shows or movies people watch. Some people have no vision. In my opinion that is. What most people watch are things I don’t care about. Especially people I follow on social media. When they talk about movies they’ve seen or TV shows they’re watching, I just get bored. I feel I have nothing in common with them. I won’t stop following them though. They can watch what they like. I’m not criticising other people tastes. I’m sure they don’t really care what I watch either. I’m just saying, I don’t think they have the same kind of vision I have. I don’t mean my vision is better, it’s just different.

I don’t understand the hype over certain blockbuster movies that out there right now or in the past. I just haven’t been interesting in them. For example, I never cared about the Harry Potter movies. I never even wanted to read the books. I don’t read books but if I did, I still wouldn’t. Every time I see or hear about Potter, I just roll my eyes.
Marvel movies like Avangers, Iron Man, Spider-man and Captain America. I’m just not interested no matter how many recommendations there is. The only Marvel movie I’ve cared about was Guardians of the Galaxy because it was fun and Lee Pace was in it. I might see Doctor Strange but that’s only because of Benedict Cumberbatch. I’m not even sorry for being interested in a movie because one of my favorite actors is in it. That’s usually not my motive to be interested in a movie.
X-men and Fast and the furious. Hello how many movies are there gonna be?! Soon they’re coming out of our ears. Enough is enough. Doesn’t Hollywood have any other visions?! Just saying.

Again I’m not criticising what people watch but TV shows that are popular among other people are those I don’t care about. I never liked unnatural things (a.k.a. creepy stuff) so shows like Supernatural, The Walking Dead, American Horror story and shows like that are not my cup of tea. Even people talking about them bores me. In Tumblr especially.
What’s even worse are movies becoming TV shows. Have they run out of ideas or what?! Then there are making new versions of old shows. When they made a new Knight Rider, I knew it wouldn’t last. Now they’re planning a new MacGyver. They are spoiling the past of my childhood. You can’t remake classics. It will never be the same. There are different actors therefore it won’t make it better. Maybe it’s cheaper to make remakes instead of new ones or just laziness. Twin Peaks is not a remake (more of a comeback) but I hope it won’t be a disaster even if some of the actors will be the same. The same with Prison break (which I look forward to) I really hope they won’t be a mistake.

Honestly I’m getting bored with all these new TV shows. I don’t even know what they’re called because I don’t care. I prefer older or shows that have been on for several seasons. Unfortunately all the shows I’m watching are coming to an end (Person of interest and Bones). Game of thrones seems to be the only show worth watching but even that will end some day. Then the 4th season of BBC Sherlock coming of course. I’ve stopped watching The Blacklist because it wasn’t as exciting anymore and the story just got ridiculous. So nothing interesting is going on or coming up on TV. There’s no point of recommending anything since I won’t interest me. No House of cards, Better call Saul or any other of those because, well simply, I don’t care. I have a vision but my vision is different from yours so you better deal with it.
