I made a post saying that I'm not going to write anything other than videogames, technology, music and scifi. I guess I can tie these topics to what I want to write.

I met one of the older people who live here, in these sets of apartments. It's pretty a pretty nice guy, but there are people who are old school and there are people who are old school. I believe he's the latter. My mom believes that it's fine to be someone's friend just to be their friend. I don't see it that way. I believe that friendships are like dating. To be someone's friend, that person has to share the same tolerance of others that I share.

I remember the guy saying "you seem to cut alot of friends", and I was like "well yeah. I am easily annoyed by others." The conversation got weirder when he asked me questions like "have you ever dated a black guy?" "Do you like black people?" and when I told him one of my friends is Latino, he described him as "Mexican" when he's not. I corrected him on that and he was nice and cordial, but seemed a bit defensive.

This man is a really nice man who is willing to show me how to use imaging programs, but I don't know if I can be friends with anyone who has an old fashion world view. I know that he said that he does not agree with the LGBT lifestyle, but I think he sees it as a choice. He also does not have a concept of what the green movement entails. Not to mention that he keeps convincing me that digital art is the best way to go. I want to tell him with the way the economy is, there won't be any advancement of technology, thus very little room for digital art. In order to understand all visual art, you must understand the basics. In otherwords, it does not make sense if someone can make drawings on a computer if that person does not know how to use pencil and paper.It's hard to have conversations with people who do not have a sense of self-discovery. I am lucky that he just wants to be a friend and show me the ropes of computer imaging. I guess I'm a free-spirited person and I need to be around others who are similar.

BTW, I made the conscious decision to only date men who are vegan. It has nothing to do with culture of veganism, but rather the attraction I have for a man who shares similar goals in life. Men who are vegan also look younger.
