^^i know exactly what youre sayin.
it doesnt really piss me off i guess, but i usually dont say anything either becuz of my experience with little kids. i made a doll for my little buddy when she was a year old and shes played with it some over the past 2 years mostly by swinging it in circles by the hair, which is cool, but its not her favorite toy. she has other dolls, really neat ones, that she doesnt show much interest in. so, my lesson is that you can offer a kid great toys but theres no point in getting all personally offended and pissed off if the kid doesnt really get a kick out of them. often as not, theyd rather play with the box it came in, or the ribbon, and i believe this is just the way that little brains and little minds develop and grow.
if we see that theres really no use in blaming the three year old for being more interested in shouting TIM-BERRRR! and knocking over lincoln logs five hundred million times than she is in making a log cabin for the crappy homemade doll you gave her, and that its equally useless to get pissed at the child that says NO NO NO to everything, then we can have the same attitude about older and older kids and grownups too.
so if you want to share something special with someone and they just dont get it, like they cant even percieve the specialness that you are offering them, dont be mad, they cant help it becuz their consciousness isnt quite big enough yet to wrap around some things.
just as all little children grow at their own rate, each of us expands our consciousness and grows at our own rate.
those people that just say shit for the sole purpose of being an asshole, its the same thing, often it seems like these people cant pick up anything new becuz their hands are already full.
but that is not the point here.
the point here was to tell you about the huge profusion of birds in my backyard,
and to make fun of jesus for buying a $150 radio with a monthly fee that features the same music service you hear at starbucks
