A loud noise at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other.
I was going to do another one of my dictionary meaning updates, which is really just an excuse to ramble about something, but a few words here, and keep people satisfied for another month. I've done a few, some full of contradicting sentences but all facts, some repetitions, some just a lot of words not saying much, which anyone who's taken the time to talk to me knows that it really isn't my style verbally. Punk put in his update that I actually said more than two words to him. To me, a friendship doesn't need to be filled with verbal exchanges. The comfort of being silent with someone says a lot more than the ability to carry a conversation. I think a lot. It doesn't mean I brood, but I'm enjoying my brain functioning. Some decisions may not be the best, but they're mine. I own them. Which comes with the responsibility.
I've taken it of myself. But I'm the only one I've had to worry about for a long time. My marriage to Christy failed, and although we were both to blame for that one, I will take responsibility for my actions there. I didn't deal with it in the right way, I wasn't ready to be married and I don't think I ever will be. I used to be annoyed at the word 'forever', because nothing is forever. People throw it around like the word love. Nothing is ever infinite. That sounds bitter, but I'm afraid that it's what I believe. So.. I think that's why being wed won't suit me.
Taking responsibility for something, or someone other than myself though, that's a possibility. When reliance turns up responsibility, it separates the men from the boys. Do you swallow your pride and do the right thing, do you stand by your opinions, or do you do what you think you should? Is that even honest, to do what you think is the right thing but isn't your instinct?
Responsibility has a different meaning in every person. No dictionary can capture that.
