There is a song that I know all the words to by a band called Smashmouth. The song is called Sister Psychic. I love this song because what it does is it kind of rips at the fortune tellers of the world. It says
"Sister Psychic, won't you tell me does it ever get better
Can you really see the future or just predict the weather
Are we in our finest hour or headed for disaster
Use your super powers and rescue me
Can you help us find the ones on the missing posters
Is my baby being true, am I doin' what I'm supposed to
Could you help me find my keys or better yet life's meaning
Are those tarot or dialogue cards that you're reading
C'mon
Tell me everything"
ok now this may not directly link to this song but here it is anyway... in this song Sister Psychic that knows everything but the person singing is challenging it.
Tonight I had the lovely privilege of dealing with a Sister Psychic you may call them a "know it all"
Seriously you know those people that know everything about everything and try to prove how much better they are than you. I mean do they think they are classy? I mean for example when someone tells me that a movies editing was done poorly I REALLY bite my tongue cause it would get me in trouble. The conversation would most likely go like this.... "See you can't really say a thing cause you probably didn't know the editing at all did you notice where that one shot when from a wide shot to an extreme close up? did you notice how the cuts went to the music? did you notice that there wasn't a single crappy cross dissolve? do you know a single thing about how to do any of that or how freaktasticly long it takes to edit something like that.... no you didn't so you can't say anything"
... wow that felt good to get out in a void....
but where was I ... oh yeah people that know everything about everything and that are much MUCH better than you!
Why is it that no matter what you say they have to correct or one up you. I was talking to a friend about it today and I was like "you can really tell that people like that are trying to make up for something." Its like they are this close to when you mention humility they say something like. "Oh yeah I was at this scout when I was in cub scouts and I won the humility award and then I gave it to someone else cause thats how humble I am" Get over yourself!!!! You aren't God's gift to the world!!!!... shocking I know but you'll get over it!
UGH!
And please PLEASE don't think that I am sitting here thinking that I am better cause frankly I'm not! I really suck and I am really hard to live with just ask my family! I just had to get it off my chest how much arrogant, ignorant, cocky, overconfidant, smug, brash, boastful, swaggering, self satisfied, stuck up, vain, conceited, people bother me (I love the synonyms tool on word! :D )
.....Just thinking
