After reading about the tiger-shooting, his latest birthday present, seeing this picture:



of his 24 year-old girlfriend, and reading this I concluded that Putin is awesome. I've heard he is autocratic and immoral, and is behind a lot of nasty things, but I can't help but admire the guy - he's living the dream. I guess this is how propaganda works, huh?




Why can't western leaders be this badass?

i'm sorry, poo. the nerve of those bastards- let me at 'em!


fwiw, this reminded me soooo much of how i would've responded:

""so i didn't trust them (even though we'd been friends for 2 years) because i'd seen some of the things they'd done to other ppl.""

- always good to observe a person's interactions with others, and not just you. very telling. i'm with ya on that.


and this bit...

""i basically just listened and humored them because it wasn't worth it to me to argue.""

- yea, not worth it. best to just do as you've done, and drop them like bad habits. i believe strongly in maintaining low blood pressure. sounds like you've succeeded in spite of.

"they assumed you were soft or "sweet", as the kids phrase it. with all due respect, poo, you seem a little more passive than you are assertive."

haha, this isn't news to me! the term i have heard used most often IRL to describe me is "adorable". which is fine, i really don't mind if people think that. because for the most part i'm a serene person. and i do like to help people, and i care, and all those nice things. and i'm not vengeful, so really i'm not a threat to anyone's health or security. but it's also a mistake to assume that i'll be walked on. i've noticed i tend not to get emotionally attached to people, no matter how much i care for/about them. that is to say, i genuinely like them and care about them, but they don't really have that much power or sway. i'm willing to let people push me to a point, but one inch further and i can be gone just like that.
