Save Teh Bewbies

It's hard for me to not care about people.  I am generally a nice guy and usually when I am a dick, I feel bad about it after.  It's just the nature of things.  I don't know if it's the Irish genetics or being raised by my mother but I have those moments when I don't know how to approach something except to just be a dick and walk away but the "nice guy" comes out and suddenly I feel like turning around and saying sorry.

That hasn't happened much to me lately, though.  In fact, really the only people I have spent time with are people that I care about just a little more than the average person and one person who I care about a little more than that.  I'm not going to name any names here because that's no how I do things here but if you know me, you know whether it's you or not I'm sure.  I enjoy spending time with them any chance I get, even if it hasn't been much.  But here I am going off into some cheesy topic that I didn't plan to talk about.  Maybe I'll save that for another time, but likely not knowing my luck.  At this point, I'm trying my best not to throw in an "lol" which is short for "laugh out loud" which I'm sure most of you know...which is also both A: a nervous laugh for me when talking about certain things or B: I am literally laughing a lot so I'm throwing it in everywhere.  Hey, I'm a generally happy person!

But anyway, this month I did something I think I'd probably never do in real life.  I decided in one of my games that I would make a character's armor Pink for Breast Cancer Awareness.  Most of you that know me know that stupid symbols and trends annoy me.  I remember way back when there were people who wanted everyone to change their profile picture into a cartoon character from your childhood to raise awareness for something and I refused because it was so damn stupid; If we want to raise awareness for something, we need to physically spread word (actual words, written or typed) about the stuff, not change our fucking display pictures to something that has absolutely nothing to do with the problem you are raising awareness for.  To some people, that's just a thing they are seeing other people do but do not know the meaning behind the change and so they do it and there is no reasoning behind it, they are just joining a crowd.

Anyway, this month I did that with my RIFT character.  I did it because I care about some people and would be devastated if they were to not pay attention to their bodies and not catch breast cancer early.  I did it because it don't have the money to spend on some bracelet, t-shirt or whatever the typical Susan G Komen thing is these days.  I didn't do it out of some selfish love for tits (despite the fact that I absolutely love them).  I did it because my female friends and male friends alike are all susceptible to get breast cancer, though it seems despite reports of men being capable of getting it, there are more women getting it, or at least men aren't noticing it and are lucky that something else is killing them first.  All of my friends need to keep an eye on their body and make sure things are developing normally.

It's a shame that a whole month has to be dedicated to Breast Cancer Awareness and that people can't just be actively aware but it's not like that.  We live in blissful ignorance of problems and I just don't blame anyone for doing that.  Nobody wants to live their life thinking about all of the bad things that can kill them.  Regardless of this, check yourself every day because nobody else will do it for you.  You don't just walk up to your best friend, grab their tits and check for cancer; it just doesn't happen!  It is up to you to keep an eye on yourself because the earlier you catch this shit, the greater chances of getting out unscathed and I care about you guys and you could elevate it to "I fucking love you " for at least a few of you (no homo, for those applicable) so don't let me down.

So here is the picture of my character, decked out in his pink armor being a total badass.  I am nerd! Hear me wheeze!
