Excuses…
We all make them. You, I, them… basically everyone. We don’t just make them to get out of stuff but to justify our behavior or other people’s behavior.
I guess what I mean to say is, sorry I haven’t posted in so long 😦
Seriously though, do you think life would be better if we stopped making excuses? Or are excuses useful and absolutely necessary?
Let me know!
P.S: I am just busy with finals and some work stuff! I promise to post ‘real posts’ pretty soon! Thank you for reading!

Hmmm good question. I think excuses are almost expected. Rather than accepting sorry, we ask why and then the excuse becomes mandatory. I have, at times, said I don’t have an excuse, it just is what it is and have found the other person was very perplexed and left unsatisfied. Since then I have armed myself with excuses 😀
Good luck with finals and stuff.
LOL I would love to read about your excuses some time! 🙂
Thank you! *heading over to your blog now*
That depends on circumstance. Sometimes an explanation is appropriate, but whether one blogs, no need.
you are sweet! 🙂
You will do well with finals because you are focused on what is important. We will be here when you get back! No worries.
Thank you V! 😀
I make so many excuses as the queen of procrastination .. no good and trying to change
You will get there! ❤

I would like to subscribe to that magazine.
lol it’s pretty exclusive so I will send my copy your way 😉
I find the etymology of “excuse” sort of funny — an excuse is a reason that is supposed to excuse is for our behavior or failure. Yet so many of them fail to do that. I think a conscientious effort to ensure that our reasons /are/ excuses would be beneficial, though.
whoa! It took me a minute to wrap my head around this but good point! 🙂
Yeah it makes more sense said aloud; the excuse (ex-CUSE vs EXC-USE) distinction is a weird little nuance.
I wish I could like this! haha
Maybe I’ll write a blog post on the notion sometime.
i would love to read that!
The problem with excuses is that we often know when we’re hearing one. Never good.
I couldn’t have said it better myself!
I love you! And, to answer your question: “yes” and “yes!”
haha I love you too t!
Some excuses are strong; some excuses are weak. Finals and work obligations are definitely strong and justifed excuses, so you shouldn’t feel any guilt. 🙂
😀 So good to see you in my little comment boxes again! ❤
Yeah, I’m like that cold you just can’t shake…
The Olympics has distracted me to a ridiculous degree. I keep watching stuff, that previously I thought was rubbish, and gay.
Opening ceremony was great.
ahhahhahha I’ve always loved the Olympics! But yes it has distracted me so much so that I forgot to hit follow on your blog! :p
what was your favorite bit about the opening ceremony!?
I really liked the music, actually. One of my favourite bands, Underworld, were put in charge of directing the music side of things.
They’re actually a techno band, and I was surprised that they were asked to do it in the first place.
The word “excuses” might be mean “reasons or life’s issues”. I like to think so anyway and I always forgive because I’ve had the same failings.
🙂 good point!
I have lots of excuses, but they’re all mundane. I wish someone would write a book with snazzy excuses. I’d do it, but I hurt my hand in an arm wrestling contest and my dog at the notes I’d made, and my throat is feeling a bit scratchy now, so I’d better lie down.
ahahhahhhahaha your comment made me LOL! For real!
I shall be taking the weekend off blogging to see the Olympic finals of the mens football tournament, I’m sure you’re incredibly jealous. I’ll bring you back an ePresent. 😛
hahahhaahahhhahah you always crack me up!
