For my own life, I consider myself an optimist. I hope for the best, prepare for the worst and always look for the silver lining.
All things considered, I've noticed that I am a complete cynic when it comes to other people. And I have found that I like to surround myself with people who are cynical as well. For some reason cynical people make me feel good, happy and all warm and fuzzy inside.
People who see the positive in everyone, positively bore me.
By cynical I specifically am referring to being skeptical of the motives of others.
Don't get me wrong. I have no tolerance for people who have the audacity to put down or talk negatively about any of my friends. I will tell them where to go.
I guess, if I am chatting with a friend and they tell me how happy their life is and how wonderful their spouse is, I'm thinking, 'They are lying through their teeth. Their marriage must be a disaster area.'
Now if you tell me that his ex-girlfriend still calls him on his birthday and you want to punch her face through the phone and he never takes out the trash, yet that is the only thing you ask of him, I'm thinking, 'This marriage is going to make it. What a great couple.'
What's wrong with me?

Funny Stacie, I wonder what you think of us. You know some pretty good dirt. I guess we will be just fine. :) I hope you and Chad are well, and he is taking out the garbage if you know what I mean. wink wink. :) A little cynicism, or sarcasm never hurt anyone. If I didn't have it, I wouldn't survive.
This cracks me up!
