Florida Flakes

Okay, so I probably shouldn't say just because people are from/live in Florida that they are flakes (because that's not true). But I will say that compared to all the other places I've lived, Florida has the highest percentage of people with no follow through. Now, this could be due to a lot of different factors: age, personalities, quantity of friends and events, the culture, etc.

I don't think the point is why is this happens so frequently, but rather how can this be changed? Well, I'm gonna be honest, I don't have an answer to that. So, I guess what this blog is really about is venting. People are flakes these days and it's pissing me off. I'm totally sick of it! If you say you'll do something, do it. If you commit to something, stick with it. That's really not so hard, I do it all the time. Yes, I understand when things happen and you can't follow through with what you said you'd do, there are always exceptions. And I have dropped the ball on several occasions. But there comes a point when excuses add up; excuses become habit and habit becomes characteristic. I really don't want to associate with people who have lip-service-only characteristics.

There are several people here that I can really trust, who's words are as good as gold, who's actions support their words. And I value those friendships so much. So, maybe it's good in a way. It shows you who is intentional about being in a relationship with you, shows you who are real friends.

I'm not writing this as a pointed rant directed at an individual for a specific incident (so I don't want anyone getting bent out of shape thinking I'm talking about them - don't make me start singing 'you're so vain, you probably think this blog is about you...'). Like I said, its a venting blog and something I've been thinking about for a while. I don't understand the whishy-washy mentality and probably never will.

That is all.
