If there's one thing that I've learned from network television, it's that everybody loves needless complications. All of the top TV shows features them. House is unhappy for no other reason than he wants to be happy and it makes good drama. Grey's Anatomy features so much needless complication that it takes three flow charts to describe it. Hell, even American Idol features needless complications. That's why they draw out the damn thing for five months when everyone and their great aunt knows who's going to end up in the final three.

Needless complications, however, are a pain in the ass. They're kinda like needless adverbs in Harry Potter books. They're cute at first, tolerable for a while, but by the seventh freakin' book, you just want to fly out to Great Britain and yell at J.K Rowling that WE KNOW HERMOINE SOUNDS SCARED. ONE TENDS TO DO THAT WHEN THEY'RE BEING CONFRONTED BY A DARK WIZARD EVERY TEN FLIPPIN' PAGES. YOU DON'T NEED TO TELL US EVERY OTHER SENTENCE. I'm convinced that 45% percent of the anger directed at the seventh book is subconsiously devoted to the disgustingly disproportionate amount of adverbs that floats around in the previous six books. (By the way, Ms. Rowling, that last sentence featured alliteration. It's one of the many literary tools that exist out there besides bludgeoning the reader to death with adverbs)

So I say to hell with needless complications. If a guy likes a girl, he likes her. If he doesn't, then he doesn't. Why in God's name should there be something in between? To hell with stupid complications mucking everything up. God did not create the universe to fill with needless complications. If God wanted this, then he would have made the giraffe the dominant lifeform and then filled the world with small trees, just to laugh. Luckily, God did not make giraffes the dominant lifeform. In fact, God created the giraffe just to remind us that tall people are only good at playing basketball and eating leaves with blue tongues that are two feet long.

So to get to my point, I'm knocking my needless complications out of my life one by one. If it gets complicated, and it's needless, then to hell with it. It's probably not worth it anyways. I'm sick of the sleepless nights, the stupid neurotic attacks and the nauseating worrying over stuff that ends up falling to the wayside in a month and a half. And no, nothing has caused this outburst, I simply came to the conclusion that needless complications blow and my life will probably be better off without them.
